gust show that the past summer was
some colder than usual, and received
considerable excess of rainfall. The

inches; July, TIT inches; Angus, 4.33
inches. The total was 21.13 incnes,
which is 4.2S inches in excess of the
very coEious normal summer rain
fall of Iowa. These figures afford a

generally cooler than usual, but there
was sufficient neat by day 10 pro-
mote the healthful growth of vegeta-
ton. Excep' in a limited area there
was an ample supply of moisture in
the soil and the large percentage OF
humility was evidenced by very heavy
dews The conditions were espec.
tally favorable for tle growth of the
grasses in pastures and meadows and
the healtnful development of the corn
crop. The truck gardens and all min
or farm crops were doing notably well
at the close of the month. Though it
was rather showery for August, yet
there were more than the usual num-
Der of clear days, with ample sun
shine, and lnis afforded favorable
conditions for finishing up the har-
vest of hay and small grain and
threshing from the shock.
The monthly mean temperature for
the state was Ill, which is O.S below
the normal. the highest monthly
mean was 1913 at ottumwa. The low
est monthly mean was 67.6 at Sibley.

state was 4.33 inches, which is 0.57 of
an inch above the normal The la.g-
est amount reported was 1857 inches
at Delaware. The least amount re-

JAIL THREAT FOR
LICENSE BOARD

The License Commissioners had
things all their own way yesterday at
ternoon-so far as Fred kiley's appli-
cation was concerned. But they got
badly bumped on the Moore matter.
They started in to show their con-
tempt for injunctions and such other
court proceedings but were brought up
with a round turn and threat Of inn
mediate arrest which made them de-
eide to be GOOD
The Commission had intended to
have j. ID. Moore, proprietor of the
Palace cafe, up before it and after
questioning him for a while to revoke
his license. But Moore put a spoke in
their wheel in the shape of an in
junction signed by Judge De Bolt re-
straining them from taking any such
action until after the trial of Moore in
the Circuit Court on the charge of sell
ing liquor on Sunday.
When this injunction was served on
them they We're somewhat taken abaclt
could not revoke the license they could
at least talk it over and formally de-
eide to do so as soon as they got Il
chance. But they didn't.
r. J. Buchly of Peacock e Co, was
present. IF you take any action in
this matter, or dare to discuss it at all,
III call in the sheriff and have you
arrested right here" he said The
Board promptly crawled into Il hole
and pulled the hole in after it.
But they got even with the world by
taking it out on Fred Kiley. Kiley
is away on the Coast and he
had no representative present except
an employee who didn't know what to
do With the instinct OF true sports
men, the Commissioners jumped on
Kiley, who was not there to defend
himself, and had almost as much fun
as sewing circle. They took his
character and reputation and picked
them to pieces and had a nice, social
time. In this they were assisted by
certain persons VINO hau IL Ill LOT tHl

to have their say.
Lyle Dickey presented protest
against the granting of a license to
kiey in which he charged him will
most of the crimes of the Decalogue
and Harry Juen testified to having
seen drunken men tumbling out OF
Kiley's place. Juen was somewhat
taken aback when Jack Lucas asked
MIN why he didn't do his duty and ar

Following its custom of taking M
