DISAGREE AS TO DAMAGE.
Reports From Various Sections Vary
As to Effect Of Frost.

Special to Times-Repuolican-
Mason City, Sept. 26.-There are
varied opinions among the farmers as
to the damage don by the recent frost
and freeze. Some think it will not be
serious, while others report the dam
age great. 1t all depends upon the
stage of the crop, some fields being
farther advanced than others. John
Bush made a circuit of several miles
this morning and is of the opinion that
the damage is not serious. He thinks
that the corn has been stopped now
from growing and will ripen all the
better. There are others who say
their crop needed a week yet to ma
ture and that the frost was serious.
From what can be CLEANED he frost
hurt 40 per cent of the crop and that
this county will get more than a half
crop, which is more, however, than
was expected a month ago. All n
matured garden truck is lost. There
will be vastly more feed as a result
of the prolonged absence Of frost.

When Presi- dent Castro became seriously i'll cer- tain of the ministers so maneuvered as to disturb the previously strong friendship between Castro and Vice. President Gomez. Sonora :, Castro, after months of argument, persuaded her husband that these ministers had deliberately taken advantage of his condition to poison his mind against his true friend, Gomez, and she brought about reconciliation. As a result to-day Gomez went to Macuto, where the president is conyalescing, and conferred with Castro. Only four men. and possibly one woman, know what passed at the conference. The only statement elicited was to the effect that the friendship be- tween Castro and Gomez had been re- established.

Trial of StrOther Brothers For Murder is Being Conducted
 Along Same Lines
EMOTIONAL INSANITY

Culpeper, Va, March 4-The sec. ond Week of the trial of Philip and James Strother for the murder of w. F. Bywaters opens with interest cen tered in the attempt of the prosecu- ton to shatter the plea of emotional insanity" advanced by the defense. By calling Dr De Jarnette, superin- tendent of the Western State hospital of Staunton, Va. to the stand to-day, the prosecution aims to show that on the night of December 15 last when Bywaters was shot to death the StrOthers were in no sense mentally irresponsible. Dr De Jarnette is the states mainstay in the effort to con- trovert the testimony of Dr Charles Clark of St EliZabeth's government asylum for the insane at Washing ton, the alienist who established the defense's plea of emotional insan- ity."
 The next witness in point of i'm portance is Edward l.. Gaines, broth er-in-law of the Strother brothers, who was called by the state. MT Gaines was at "Rotherwood" on the night of the tragedy, although he was not, according to the defendants, present at the shooting.
 By his testimony. the prosecution hopes to prove that the Strothers were not only cool and sane on the night of the tragedy. but that he was an actual witness to the shooting of Bywaters.
 Following the examination of these witnesses to-day, the prayers of the prosecution and defense to the jury will be submitted to Judge Harrison who will charge the jury.

RENTS GOING UP.
South Main Street Landlords Say
 They Are Forced to Do It.

Some of the tenants on South Main street and other thoroughfares near the center have received notice of an advance in rents which has set them thinking whether they had better go out of business or not. In some i'm stances the amounts tackled on foots up $25 a month and one is said to have been informed that the increase will be S30. The owner of one of the blocks told Democrat reporter that the new prices may appear rather high. but that people have to come to 1t or lose the equity they have in their holdings. He also thought that judging by the public Improvements outlined, the cost of which will have to come out of taxable property. ten- ants will be lucky If the rents don't take another jump before long, and added that the time has come when tenants will be made sensible of the fact that public Improvements mean something to them as we'll as to those who have to pay direct to the collect or. He declared that he would be pleased to sell every dollars worth of real estate he owns provided he could get his money out of it and somebody else try for a while. People who are renting stores and tene- ments. he said. think they are play ing in hard luck. but if they knew what the landlords are contending against they would quickly realize that they are fortunate in being ten- ants in somebodyelse's building in- stead of owning places of their own. The rate of taxation. the price of water and the cost of keeping prop erty in repair puts owners on the jump and half of them don't know where they are at
