Mrs. Tweed was carried nearly a
half mile by the tornado. Her body
was almost ,lnrecognizable, as 1t was
torn almost to shreds. The remains of
the others were not so badly mutilated.

the storm passed and began picking up
the debris and assisting the sufferers

Dubuque. Aug. eff all the men who
give or have the means of giving were
TO view the act as does Abraham
Simmer. a philanthropist of ST. Paul,
and who formerly resided at Waverly,
the spirit of giving would assume a
new aspect, and into the world would
come new spirit-the spirit OF the
millennium.
Fer the past week, here in the city of
sands in the name of charity, has gone
about quietly looking after his inter-
ests. In other words. searching into
the hearts of those who are dispensing
his charity. to see what spirit is back
of the giving. and he has not been
known. The man who has given so
generously of his great means is
stranger to pretention, and to him the
spirit in the giving counts for more
than the gold that is given. The true
phlanthropist gives for the peace that
comes with the giving-and expecting
no reward.
Il have given little" said Mr.. Slim
mer, when approached, and asked for
the significance of his visit to the city.
What does 1t matter to man who has
forty loaves? He can eat but half a
loaf. He gives away two or three. Tell
me. what credit is he to have for so
giving? A dollar given by the man
who has but that dollar is worth more
than a Rockefeller million" And the
kindly gray eyes looked at his inter-
viewer.
Il give because I have to give. I
have enough left to eat-enough left to
wear-enough to pay my travelling ex-
penses. What more do ! want? ! am
benefited in return for giving. 1t is a
relief to be relieved from weight OF
means that imposes a consequent care.
l see others benefited while l am not
deprived of what I need"
Mr.. Simmer will remain a few days
longer in the city. Then he will jour
ney to some other destination where
he has given to aid the distressed. He
will not be known. He desires it so.
The man gives of his wealth because
he loves umanity-because he loves
the world-because he loves to give.

Cuts Ten Million Bushels From His
July Figures on States Corn Crop
Des Moines, Aug. 9.-Secretary
George Wells, of the Iowa Grain Deal
ers' association, issued crop estimates
for Iowa which show a falling off in all
prospective outputs since July 1.
He now estimates the total crop at
295,O00,0OO bushels, or 100000 less
than the estimate made by him on
July 1. The total oats crop is esti-
mated at 1O2,266,337 bushels, against
127,s32,922 in his July estimate. Spring
and winter wheat show a loss, but not
as heavy as corn and oats.
Mr. Wells says big crop this year
is SO per cent of last years, and that
the falling off is due to the poor corn
and grain prospects. He says that
corn in the northwest section of the
State lost per cent in July.
