4 FREAK. OF NATURE.
An Elm Tree Covered With Cotton
Wood Bark.

Harvey News: There may be found
near the bridge that spans the Des
Moines river at Bellefountaine curl
osity that attracts no little attention
1t is an elm tree that is largely COW
cred with cottonwood bark. We have
made personal inspection of this
natural curiosity, and can vouch for
the facts here stated. Miss Ethel
Hines, a botanical student of Penn
college, Oskaloosa, has takea the
pains to report this freak of nature
to the botanical instructor in that
school and get his opinion upon it,
and he having examined some of the
bark from the tree, questions that
1t could be produced bv other than
a tree Of the cottonwood species and
from a scientific standpoint consid-
ers it knotty question to be solved.
The party owning the ground on
which this wonderful tree grows, takes
great care that it is not destroyed or
injured in any way. This protection

HOME FROM CAMP.
Y. NJ. C. A. Boys Report an Enjoy
@ able Outing.

The Y. M. c. A. boys have return
ed from their ten days camping trip
on the Des Moines river. 1t was the
fifth camp conducted by the associa-
tiol in four years, and 1t was by far
the best and most successful one of
the Ave.. Each camp seems to be a
little better than the preceding one.
There was good deal of rain, but
most of it fell in the night, while the
days were nice and clear.
The day was begun with snort
drill in which the physical director
taught the boys good many move
ments used IN swimming. This drill
was followed by Bible study. The
boys, seemed to find more pleasure
in their work this year. Washing
dishes, bringing up fire wood, hang
ing bed clothing out to air, straight.
ening up the tents, were things tlat
we're very quickly and nicely done.
Base ball, swimming, rowing, going
off the Flying Lady" swing on the
big swing and the big field meet
were the sports of the day. The day
was brought to an end by evening
prayer around the big camp fire or IN
the tents. ,.a. q,
A number of visitors came out
from town and each time they brought
something good to eat. OF course
that kept the boys in high spirits.
The camp was located in beautiful
pasture about block from the river
and many remarks were made by the
visitors in regard to the fine location
for camp. Mr.. Evelald certainly
deserves many thanks from the boys
and their parents for mis- kindness in
letting the boys camp there.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, June 2s.-Black Diamond
today says: The principal features Of
the Chicago market for the week are
the extreme weakness Of smokeless
minerrun; the beginning of storage
on some domestic GOALS, principally
Hooking; the continued dullness of
western Goals; the absence of any
marked contract buying and the be-
ginning Of purchases for the harvest
fag season. There does not appear to
be the overplus of cars for movement
from Pennsylvania and Ohio districts
to Chicago, but West Virginia GOALS
are coming in here in larger quantities
than Is desired. Hooking coal seems
to have enough cars to supply the de-
mand. In the western market screen.
ings appear to be the feature. There
does not appear to be very much de-
murrage coal on the market"
