STOCK TO EAST
Provisions of Act Which Prevents
Cruelty to Animals in
Transit.
MISC0NCEPTl0N OF TERMS
OF MEASURE PREVAILS
Unless Under Special Provision,
Animals Can Only Be Con-
fined 28 Hours.

Some uncertainty and miscouception
appears to prevail among stock-raiscrs
and shippers as to the explicit terms
OF the act passed at the last session of
Congress TO prevent cruelty to animals
while in transit by railroad or other
means Of transportation. The general
impression seems to prevail that the
new act permits all animals In transit
to bo confined for thirty-six hours
without being unloaded for at least
five hours for rest, food and water.
Such Is not the case. however The
time Of transit without unloading is
twenty eight consecutive hours in the
new bill as in the old measure: but
the time can be extended 10 thirty
six hours upon the written request OF
the owner or person In custody OF the
particular shipment
Provisions OF the Act.
The provisions OF the section for this
extension of time as applied 10 rail-
roads reads as follows: THAT no rail-
road over which cattle, sheep, swine,
or other animals shall be conveyed
shall connne the same In cars, boats
or vessels Of any description for a
period longer than twenty-eight con-
secutive hours without unloading the
same In a humane manner into prop
erly equipped pens for rest. water and
feeding, for a period of at least five
consecutive hours. unless prevented
by storm or by other accidental or un-
avoidable causes which cannot be an
tIcipated or avoided by the exercise Of
due diligence and foresight: Provided,
that upon the written request Of the
owner or person In custody of that
particular shipment, which written re-
quest shall be separate and apart from
any printed bill OF lading. or other
railroad form, The time of confinement
may be extended TO thirty-siX hours.
In estimating such confinement the /
time consumed in loading and unload
Ing shall not be considered, but the
time during which the animals have
been confined without such rest or
food or water on connecting roads
shall be included, IT being the intent OF
this act 10 prohibit their continuous

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.
Bureau Reports Ample Fall Of Rain for
Grain,

Des Moines, July 1.-THE weather
crop bulletin for the week ending Mon
day, July 16, follows:
From Monday to Saturday the aver
age temperature was about the normal
for the midsummer period. The cool
wave Saturday night and Sunday af-
forded agreeable relief from oppres-
sive warmth and humidity. The rain
fall was variable, ranging from trace
at many stations to copious showers
in widely scattered localities. Gener-
ally the railfall has been deficient for
the first half of July, but the supply Of
moisture in the soil is ample as yet
for corn and small grain crops. The
corn crop has made rapid growth in all
districts. The more advanced fields
are showing tassels at the normal
height, and even the late paintings
give promise of good, crop.
The hay harvest is well advanced,
and conditions have been generally
favorable for securing an extra quality
of forage. In the southern part of the
state the harvest Of oats, rye, and win
ter wheat Is nearly completed, and in
the northern half oats and barley are
ready for the reapers. Spring wheat
is ripening, with variable condition as
to stand and damage by rust. Pota-
toes, vegetables and the late berry
crops are doing fairly WELL The apple
crop is about as previously reported.

CLOUD a CANDIDATE.

Delaware county has put forth a
candidate for attorney general He is
Albert M. Cloud, who is now serving
as county attorney. Just about ten
years ago Cloud was much talked of
man in Iowa college circles. 1t was at
that time he brought to this state for
the second time in its history the first
place in the interstate collegiate ora
torical contest, which embraces all col
leges Of any size in tie middle west.
This contest was won by Bryan when
he was in college in Illinois, and in
the 7O's La Toilette was the victor,
while still later Beverage carried the
honor to Indiana.
Cloud is not timid When he wants
anything he goes after it. In his first
trial in the state contest, he was de-
feated for first place by a
young woman from Oskaloosa col
lege, taking second place himself.
Second place before and since that
time has been considered good enough
for anyone. But it was not good
enough for Cloud. With but one point
to gain and many to lose,J he went in
the next year ind won his victory, and
it was thus that he was given the priv
ilege Of participating in the interstate
contest.
Cloud is something of a fighter.
From the time he entered Lenox col
lege to the day he graduated things
were in a turmoil. The first year he
was there conditions became such that
the president was on the point of re.
signing. 1t went from bad to worse
until the day before commencement #
his last year, when students, faculty
and board of trustees were split into
fighting factions, and the climax came
The fight was to keep Cloud from being
graduated in a certain class. But he
won, and was graduated.

WELLER AND HIS PARTY.

If there is populist party in Iowa,
and If L. H. Weller of Nashua was in
full possession of his mental faculties,
he would undoubtedly be the nominee
for governor this year. For several
years past Calamity" Weller, the best
known populist in the state, has had
to bear the standard almost single
handed and alone. It was coinci-
dence, probably with a relation, that
nothing has been heard of the Iowa
populists thus far this year, and moth
ing had been heard of Weller until the
last week. When some word did come
from Weller, it was that he was almost
a raving maniac, suffering mental de-
lusions of various kinds in his home at
Nashua
Calamity Weller first came into
prominence in Iowa when he was car
ried into the lower house Of congress
by the democratic wave that struck
the country, and was SO noticeable in
this state, in 1892. He was elected as
representative of the Fourth district.
When the populist party acquired
some prominence in the western states
he left the democrats and has since
been leader of the middle-of-the-road
men. He was real populist, undoubt-
eddy better fitted for the preaching Of

Chautauquas have become numer-

some have run far behind. All have

working in the interests of the public,
and If the people choose to not take adj
vantage of the opportunities furnished
them they are the losers. Some people
will go thousands of miles away and
hear one or two notable men talk. and
came home and tell about it until the
next summer season, but when these
opportunities are laid at their doors
they think them hardly worth the time
and attention.
Any one of these attractions is worth
the price of all, and when it is consid.

are coming to speak on variety of
