Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines Sept. 17-The weather
and crop bulletin for the week ending
Monday is encouraging.
Cool weather prevailed the first half
of the week, but the latter part was
warm enough to give slight excess
of temperature, with mode than the
usual amount of sunshine. The amount
of rainfall was generally very light,
the showers being widely scattered.
In some portions of the state rain is
needed to maintain growth of pastur-
age and late maturing vegetables, and
to facilitate fall blowing.
The warm and dry weather has been
favorable to the corn crop, which has
made very satisfactory progress. Re-
well cultivated fields in the southern
districts are ripe enough to be cut and
shocked. In the central and northern
districts the ears are hardening, and
the fields are rapidly putting on the
brown colors of maturity. With
continuance of normal weather during
the balance of this month, four-fifths
of the corn crop will be practically
safe The pastures are still yielding
fair supply of forage.
Hot DAYS Worth Million.
To-day was worth s1.00o,00o to the
farmers of Iowa." said Henry Wallace
yesterday.
Yesterday was one of the hottest
DAYS Des Moines has ever seen so late
in September. The government ther-
mometer registered nearly 80 degrees.
The record for the month is SO, and 1t
was made on Sept. 5, 1899.
TT Is just what the corn needs,
said Director Sage of the Iowa crop
service. The hotter the weather the
better for the corn crop at this time
of year. 1t is ripening rapidly and the
danger from frost will soon be past"
Canada had snow Sunday, and there
was a heavy frost at Flagstaff, Ariz
The cold wave will not reach Iowa,
altho DR.. Chapel predicted cooler
weather for today.

and poison therefrom inoculated his
body and the disease finally rendered
it impossible for him to retain food
His condition did not become serious
until recently, and then he was obliged
to give up his position of night opera

around the room. An hour later the
odor Of gas was perceived in the. house.
Becoming, anxious, Mrs. Sewers, Mrs.
w. ]. Murphy and other roomers OF the
house, broke open the door of the
young mans room. The unconscious
form Of Hutchinson was lying near the
door as II he had attempted to get out,
but was too far under the influence OF
the poison. Gas was escaping, freely
from a partially open burner
The deceased man was sont OF the
late Abner G. Hutchinson, who lived at
Ia. He was unmarried and
is survived only by sister, Mrs. Ella

rapher to the state board of health. He
