For week ending July %, 1907.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The week was seasonable in tenn
perature, and tropical in respect to
humidity, cloudiness and rainfall.
Thunderstorms were of daily oc-
currence in some portions of the
state, and in extended areas heavy
damage resulted from torrential
showers, severe wind squalls and
lightning. All observers report an
excess of moisture and saturated
condition of the soil, causing loss
of crops on low lands by flooding,
and delaying farm work in corn,
meadows and grain fields.
The extent of damage caused by
wind and floods cannot be estimated
at this time, but it is certain that
thesresult will be apparent in the
final report of the staple crops. The
corn crop has suffered a loss of ac-
reage by floods and abandonment to
the weeds, probably more than
double the estimated increase Of
acreage indicated in the June re-
port. On we'll drained lands, where
the crop was laid by in good condi-
tion, corn has made very rapid
growth, and tassels are shown in
early planted fields. With favor
able weather in the future the final
yield may be fairly good. The oats
crop is mostly ready for the harvest
and some Of it is in shock. 1t has
suffered material loss by the wei
weather and windstorms of the pas
two weeks. Spring wheat and bar
ley have suffered from the same ad
verse conditions. The hay crop ha'
suffered some loss by wet weather
but the pastures have gained ma
terially. The week closed with
clearing skies and brighter out
look.

Shooting Ascribed to Korean Soldiers
Who Lacked Discipline.
Number of Korean Casualties Not
Known-Japan Disavows Any
Part in the Abdication,
bui Is Resigned"

Seoul, July 2O.-A crowd of 5000
Koreans has been beaten back from
the palace gates. During the audience
with the cabinet Thursday night, when
the emperor acQuiesced in the demand
for abdication, number OF students
attempted to present petition to the
emperor, but the police prevented them
from doing so, driving them back east
of the palace, where they remained
all night making speeches. At mid
night Chief of Police AIaruyama dis
tributed carbines to the palace police.
The crowd continued TO increase, but
remained orderly. During the excite
ment there were several clashes in
whi;.h firearms We're used, Il number
of Japanese having been killed.
Korean Soldiers Fire on the Japs.
The collisions occurred between the
japanese police and rioters and Kor-
can soldiers then fired upon the Jap
ancse police. The trouble was imme-
diately suppressed by the appearance
Of Japanese artillery. who apparently
terrorizel the rioters. An extra etli.
ton of Korean daily, saying that the
emperor would be carried away to ia.
pan, is causing excitement.
Shooting Ascribed to Koreans.
The city became quiet at nigltfall
and is now under military patrol. A
heavy rain, following the outbreak OF
the day was largely instrumental in
dispensing the crowds. All traffic has
been stopped and the Japanese shops
are guarded. The police report that
twenty-five Japanese were killed and
wounded In the days rlotIng. The cas-
aulties among the Koreans are un.
known. An official japanese report
ascribes the shooting to Korean sol
diers, who could not be controlled by
their officers. The noise of the firing
and the news that casualties had re
suited greatly alarmed the emperor
who at I p. nj. sent by the minister Of
Justice a long apologize message t.

fstitution the federal government is
given the sole power to negotiate

with it all that is necessary to make

When the farmers of our organic

ably intended that the federal gov

Diamonds and Glass.

The diamond, instead of being real
solid, is n mass of atoms all in rapid
and violent motion. The edge of the
stone is formed of these moving mole
cules as well as the body. Now, glass
is also made up of moving atoms,
though they do not move so rapidly or
SO violently as the diamond atoms.
When the diamond edge, therefore, Is
applied to the glass surface the dia-
mond atoms drive the glass atoms out
of the way and force a passage.

Why not Abolish the Written Law
,Ffom the N Y. WORLDLY

Gov. yardaman of Mississippi in
the Birdsong case decides that a
woman is justified in numbering her
paramount if he gets drunk and re-
veals their relations. Why not re-
peal the written law and depend en-
tirely on the unwritten law? Then
the country could dispense with the
President and Congress, with Legis.
latures, judges, courts, sheriffs and
police, while each person enacted
his own law and enforced it with a
shotgun. Why waste all this mon
ey on a superfous thing like govern
ment?
