suspicion Of the readers who went thru

an investigation was begun.
They referred the matter to the head

others, in the preparation of the an

State Superintendent Riggs accepted
the view of the readers and notified
the county superintendent of Kossuth

Sioux City, July 23.-By the time the
Interstate fair is opened, the race
course on the fair grounds will be
broad stretch of water, the main chan
mel of the Missouri river, if the pre-
diction of Captain Leach, Of the steam
err Josephine comes true. The veteran
river captain has discovered that the
channel is being diverted to the Iowa
side and is tearing away the land at
a furious rate The mouth of the Sioux
river has already receded several hum
bred yards, ard the bank of the river
at Gernanla park is being devoured
and carried away.
The island at the mouth of the Sioux
river is being washed away so fast as
to cause alarm. 1t is falling into the
roaring channel and the shore moves
back at the rate Of thirty or forty feet
day.
Channel on Iowa Side.
Next to the mainland the bank is
not washed away so fast, because it
is higher, but great trees are under
mined, and fall into the river to be car
ried away.
Unless another change in the cur
rent appears soon, Captain Leach and
other steamboat men believe the river
will keep crowding toward the Iowa
side and possibly wash away Germania
park and part of the fair grounds this
summer.
The river is high because of the re-
cent rains, but even If it goes down
without a change in the channel, the
washing of the Iowa shore will not
cease. The great change in the rivers
course became apparent last week and
has been watched for days by the old
steamboat captain.
Drives Out Squatter.
Where 1T was formerly necessary to
make wide detour in order to get into
the mouth of the Sioux river, the boat
may now follow the Iowa side, where
the main channel is working deeper
and deeper.

built a little cabin and the island kept
getting bigger until he had a farm OF
more than forty acres. Willows grew
up to protect it and 1t promised to be-
come valuable land. Now it has gone
with the shifting sands of the Mis-
souri,. More than 200 feet of this island
washed away last week
Owners of the land on the Iowa side
are alarmed and may appeal to the
government engineers for assistance in
protecting their property. They believ.
there is an immediate demand for pro-
lection, and fear delay of a few
months will prove disastrous.

Somebody wants the battleships
To bear the honored names
OF all the noble presidents
Our nation proudly claims.
The notion seems an odd one, yet
1t may be put in force,
Although the combinations might
At times look queer. of course.
Suppose the Thomas Jefferson
Should strike q glancing blow
That crushed the arnor plated ribs
OF fighting James Monroe.
And II the Chester Arthur to
The rescue tried to sprint
And badly bumped the Franklin Pierce,
Would that look well in print?
And If the Fillmore ran aground
'Twould rouse lot of sport
To have the Tyler and the Polk
Escort 1t back to port.
A fog. too, might enshroud the Hayes
And make it overdue,
And think how fierce twould be to have
The Washington lie to!
Oh, lots Of things could happen to
These mighty fighting craft
To make their famous namesakes seem
Particularly daft!
And SO. no doubt 'twere better far
No matter how well meant.
To make the presidential list
No naval precedent.

CROP BULLETIN
Past Week Was seasonable, But With
an Excess of Rain-Water Causes
Crop Losses, Especially in the Low
Ground.

Crop Losses, Especially in the Low
Ground.
Des Moines, July 23-The week was
seasonable In temperature and tropical
in respect to humidity, cloudiness and
rainfall Thunderstorms were of daily
occurrence in some portions Of the
state. and in extended areas heavy
damage resulted from torrential show
ers, severe wind squalls and lightning.
All observers report an excess of mois-
ture 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 can not be estimated
at this time, but it is certain that the
result will be apparent in the final re-
port of the staple crops. The corn
crop has suffered loss of acreage by
floods and abandonment to the weeds,
probably more than double the esti-
mated increase of acreage indicated In
the June report. On well drained lands,
where the crop was laid by in good
condition, corn has made very rapid
growth and tassels are shown in early
planted fields. With favorable 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 wet weather and wind storms of
the past two weeks. Spring wheat and
barley have suffered from the same
adverse conditions. The hay crop has
suffered some loss by wet weather, but
the pastures have gained materially.
The week closed with clearing skies
and brighter outlook.
