Dubuque, Oct. S-A strenuous ef-
fort is being made to save ex-Superin-
tendeylt Arthur Macarthur of the water
department from indictment by the
october grand jury. The plan is to
make good every dollar stolen by Nc
Arthur and then to prepare the public
mind to agree> to his release without
indictment, trial, or service in the PEN
itentiary. The preparation of the pub
lie mind has already commenced in a
local democratic newspaper.
Attorney l.. G. Hurd of the firm of
Hurd, Lenehan & Kiesel, last week
waited on G. +. Thormann, chairman
of the board OF water works trustees.
and proposed that the latter should
assent to have the Macarthur case
passed by the October grand jury. Mr..
Hurd said that If this course were
pursued it would give McArthur's
friends an opportunity to get together
enough money to make good his en-
bezzlements from the water depart
ment. That they would do this to
save his name from the stigma of dis
grace attaching to Indictment Of him.
and that IL he were indicted. there
would be no incentive to them to make
good the shortage.
MI. Thormann heard Mr. Hurd thru
and after consulting with his col
leagues on the board, Messrs. Alder
son and Scanlon, who had also been
interviewed on the same subject, made
answer in behalf of the board saying
that the board had no control over the
Macarthur case, or over Macarthur.
That it had reported the facts of his
acknowledged embezzlement to the
mayor and the city attorney and that
these were the officials to be seen.
That what was done with the Near
thur case was none Of the business of
the present board of water works trus-
tees in their official capacity.
Macarthur himself has no money and
in the quarters where his attorneys
proposition has been made known there
is much speculation as to who is will
ing to put up for him a sum ranging
from $40. 900 to $4,000 or more.

Secretary Wells, of the Iowa Grain
Dealers Association, issued his report
for the month of September. 1t is
! calculated to make the IoWan throw
up his hat and yell. For 1t shows
beyond doubt that conditions are
not as bad as they were painted. And,
Furthermore, it shows that Iowa will
produce bigger crop this year than
it did in either Of the years 1902 and
1908 and a crop very little, if any
smaller than those of 1905 and 1905
The table shown at the head of the
column is taken from the government
crop report for the past five years. OF
course last years crop will be con-
siderably above that of 1907. But that
was to be expected, for last years yield
was abnormal even for Iowa.
Secretary Wells report shows that
in the month of September the corn
crop gained just about 100000 bush
els. The first of September it appeared
that about 2S0,000,000 bushels would
be the total for the year. Then came
the hot days and drying winds of the
month. They were worth millions to
Iowa and to the corn crop they We're
worth 20.OO0,00O bushels.
The average yield per acre this year
is "a bushels, Secretary Wells AYERS.
And that. too. despite the fact that on
an average only "A per cent Of the crop
matured.
The yield per acre as divided among
the different sections of the state is
about like this: Northwest section, 80
bushels; north central, %; northeast
ern. %: west central, "a; central 35;
east central, Al: southwest SO; south
central. AZ; southeastern, 80.
A considerable portion of the corn
will be soft-about % per cent, Mr..
Wells says.
Secretary Wells appends statement
! as to how much of the corn the Iowa
farmer will ship. In this connection
he says:
1T is estimated (altho there are no
accurate figures available) that over so
per cent Of the corn produced in Iowa
is fed on the farms and consumed
within the state. If the prevailing high
market value of corn should discour-
age feeding there may be larger
amount of corn shipped than the COM
parative crop production would indi-
cate"
j. r. Sage of the Iowa crop bureau
said today that he will issue no special
corn bulletin tomorrow as he had in
tended. Mr. Sage regards the corn
season as over. He has received re-
ports from all over Iowa for the past
week, but he said today that they did
not contain sufficient change In condi-
tons since last week to justify him in
having printed another bulletin
ut is impossible to say accurately
just how much Of the corn was dam
aged by the September frost" said Mr..
Sage But it was not sufficient to
check the growth and the reports show
that the estimate published last week
need pot be materially altered"
