IOWA CROP BULLETIN
CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AS NOTED BY THE
WEATHER BUREAU.

Des Moi1es, Iowa, July 3d. The
average temperature of the week was
slightly below tine normal. Showe-y
weather prevailed from Tuesday to
Friday, but the rainfall was generally
mucn less than in the preceding two
weeks. The heaviest showers occur
red in the north central district. The
week closed with fair weather, and as
a whole il was favorable for the grow
ing crops IN the larger part of the
state. Except on low, wet ground the
corn crop has made very rapid ad-
vancement. having generally raacned
the tasseling sage. On well-drained
and thoroughly Cultivated lands it
gives promise of a fair yield under
normal conditions in the balance of
the season. Work in the harvest
fields has been resumed Wherever the
soil Is sufficiently, dry Reports indi-
cate that considerable hay has been
damaged, and in some localities small
grain in shock mas suffered material
loss. There are numerous reports of
rust in oats and spring wheat, which
will possibly impair the quality of the
grain. With better weather for the
harvest in the future, the final output
is likely to exceed present expecta'
tons. E ..

TOM CARLN IS CHOSEN
Elected Alderman In Fifth Ward To
,...sa. Succeed Ralston.

The resignation of Chas. H. Raj
ward was accepted at the special
meeting OF the city council Tuesday
evening and he was duly qualified and
sworn in as mayor of the city. The
lot fell to Tom Carlin In the election
which followed for filling the vacancy
OF alderman from Fifth ward left by
Mr.. Ralston's resignation. When the
first informal ballot was cast Chas.
Mccall was absent and the vote re-
suited in Z for Carlin and l for Fred
Turner, giving an easy majority to

The Statue of Mahaska.
The controversy which has arisen
between the councilmen and the To-
cal marble contractors over the build
ing of the pedestal for the statue of
Chief Mahaska, which is to arrive In
the city some time in September, was
discussed but laid over to the next
regular meeting Monday evening.
The question is whether or not 1t
would be satisfactory to allow the
contractors the privilege of varying
one-half inch from the artists specifi
cations instead of following them ex-
actIy as has been advised by Mr.. Fry,
the DESIGNER and builder of the
statue. The two local bidders on the
job have stated that it is impossible
to construct the pedestal and guaran-
tee the measurements within one
half inch. but contend that the diff
ference would be insignificant and
not noticeable to anyone but an ex.
pert.

SUNDAY.
breaches STRONG SERMON
HERE ON SUNDAY NIGHT
Church Is Crowded New Pastor Is a
Man of Good Address and
Pleasing Personality.

Taking as his text Seek First the
Kingdom of God and His Righteous
ness" Rev. Charles f. Gibson
preached powerful and instructive
sermon at the First Methodist
church sunday night. In his address
he stated that success in worldly
things is only attained by going at
anything in the right way, and cited
the efforts put forth by successful
teachers, attorneys, physicians and
others, who were all compelled to
make great preparations for their
life work.
mo one here expects life to be a
failure. Religion is better, but peo-
pie do not go at it in the usual way
that they do in other affairs, and
do not see why they should be so
flippant when eternity is at stake.
People" said he. expect to pro-
fess religion at some time or other,
but owing to the ardous calls of their
vocations neglect to do so until it is
too late. While religion prepares
men to die, it also prepares them to
live. 1t does not make much differ
ence when We die if we are ready
when the time comes. God had great
things in store for man when he Gre
ated him, but it was spoiled by sin
entering our lives, but Jesus came to
save"
DR.. Gibson is Of pleasing person
ality. possesses a strong voice and
held the undivided attention of his
audience. The attendance was large,
the church proper being we'll filled.
His family is expected to arrive soon
and reception will be rendered
them in the church parlors Friday
