CORN OUTLOOK POOR

Crops in Vicinity of Fort Dodge Not
Flourishng.
Special to Times-Republican
Fort Dodge. Aug. 3-W NJ. Messer-
ole has been making Fort Dodge head
quarters for a few days while he made
side trips into the nearby territory. He
is much interested in the work of the
farmers grain elevator companies and
he has had no small part in encourag-
ing and helping to organize the $4,000
Iowa farmers who now belong to those
cooperative societies.
Because his business depends upon
the crops Mr.. Messerole is a close OBJ
server of conditions and his opinion
of the outlook for Iowa crops this
year is decidedly dubious. Said he:
LAS you go north from the Chicago
& Northwestern main line the crops
get poorer. Right around Fort Dodge
on the high and rolling ground there
are fair crops, but this part of the
state will not have more than half
crop of corn. l went from this city to
Butler county east on the Great West
ern yesterday. The corn is very back
ward that way and very weedy. No
matter how long the frost holds off in
the fall there will be big per cent of
it that will not mature.
"Chances for oats were better at
one time; but the rust is attacking
them badly now and they are going
down before being cut. 1t will make
them hard to harvest. I walked thru
an oats field near Gowrie on Sunday
and my light trowsers were made red
from the rust.
But prices will be high. There is
no doubt of that"

excitement and doing considerable

consciousness and was only brought to

Decision on Rail and Industrial

for Every Car Hauled, Says COM
pany Official.

New York. Aug 3.-News OF the
Standard Oil Company by Judge Lam
dis at Chicago today, was received
in New York with excited interest.
The general expectation for some days
has been that the decision would be
unfavorable to the Standard but ap-
parently no one looked for the impo-
sition of the maximum penalty. An Of
fetal of the Standard said the amount
of the fines has evidence Of injustice
against the company
The amount Of the Lands fines,
said the official authoritatively for the
company, "is fifty times the value Of
the oil carried under the Indictment
For each car Of oil, valued at about
$3.50, we have been fined $4,000. An
appeal will be taken to the United
States circuit court of appeals, but
whether it will be entered at once Or
whether the full time allowed by law
will be taken will be determined by
our counsel in Chicago"
Few officials of the company were at
the offices today. In Wall street
there was more discussion of the prob
able effect of the decision on railroad
shares than the effect on Standard
Oil stocks. which is active and traded
in on the curb market and not on the
stock exchange itself. Special attention
was given by Wall street men to the
recommendation of Lands that call
be issued for a special grand jury to
consiGer other parties to the operations
of which the Standard is found guilty
and the probability that proceedings
would be commenced against the Alton
Railroad Company. The precedent i'll
dicated by this recommsndasian Of
Lands generally is regarded as of the
greatest Importance.

People Of Grundy County Amused Over
Million Dollar Action.

Special to Times-Republcan.
Grundy Center Aug. 3.-Much

the filing of suit against the estate
Of the late Millionaire Wells, in which
lands valued at more than $1,000,00O
are claimed Samuel c. Butte. rural
mail carrier of Stanhope, is the plain
tiff in the action
Butte claims he is entitled to 1000
acres of land in Grundy county, and
all of the Wells holdings in Emmet and
Kossuth counties, as we'll as some bank
stock.
Butte claims that he furnished the
money to George Wells to buy these
lands and that by an oral agreement
Mr.. Wells was to give Butte deed for
this property before his (Wells) death.
In the latter part of the sixties
Butte worked for George Wells on
his farm Butte was then a minor. He
speculated in lotteries and he claims
that his winnings on three occasions
amounted to s65,OO0 His claim is that
Mr.. Wells asked him to invest this
money in land for him and that Butte
consented.
The contracts that Butte claims was
made should bear the date of '67, SO
and III and it is under these con-
tracts that he expects to recover.
The contracts do not appear to have

SELLING MORE TICKETS.
Two-Cent Fare Law Increases 6usi.
ness Of Iowa Railroads.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Aug. 3.-The predic-
ton made when the two cent fare law
was passed, that the railroads would
not suffer because of it, is evidently
going to be abundantly fulfilled in Ce-
d;Lr Rapids.
The new law has now been i'm effect
for a month and the ticket agents are
able TO check up their receipts for the
month and compare with the receipts
fer the month OF July, 1906. And they
find chat the receipts We're az large this
year. in some cases larger than for the
same month last year.
In other words so many passengers
took advantage of the cheaper rates
that the net receipts were even greater
under the two cent fare than they were
under the three cent fare.
OF course the agents are not talking
for publication as to this matter But
the information Is reliable, oil the
s;une.
