words, Words, words.

A committee clerk at the House end of
the Capitol estimates that as a result OF
the deliberations Of the short session Of
Congress. just closed, the literature of the
year has been enriched by the addition
OF 9.000,oO0 words This stupendous verbal
output was printed ia the Congressional
/ Record. and consisted of speeches, reports
Of various kinds. and Presidential mes
sages. Of which. for one reason and an
other, there was an unusual number and
variety. The session consumed only
scventy-One legislative days the average
duration Of which was a little less than
five hours each Thus. the verbal output
per hour Of the nations statesmen this
winter was 24,O00-a record It Is believed.
unsurpassed in the modern history OF
parfiaments. If the words printed by the
Congressional Record for the short session
should be grouped into volumes Of the size
Of the average latter-day novel. which
consists OF about 10000 words. the result
would be ninety bO0ks-a private library
Of respectable size as 10 numbers. The
White House and the executive depart
ments contributed a larger proportion Of
the words than was contributed by the
lawmakers.

SHOOTING At CLAY PIGEONS
Many Jumps and Wide bitches
Safely Negotiated and
Jumped.

Over the stiffest course which the
Deep Run Hunt Club has IN its list OF
cross-country rides dozen Of It's mem
beers rode to hounds yesterday afternoon,
thoroughly enjoying the thrill Of the
many fences and wide water bitches
which lay in their course.
The afternoon was almost perfect and
there was just enough chill in the air
to keep the hunters from becoming too
warm in the twelve-mile chase over
which they carried their riders. The
hounds ran finely, the scent lying well.
and, altogether, it was one of the most
enjoyable hunts yet had.
The first cast was made at Brookss
store. whence the hounds ran through
Variola. They crosS.d over to Mont
rose, went through Brook HILL crossing
the fields Of Bloomlngdale and Rose
dale, and so back to the clubhouse,
where the ladies were ready to receive
them.
No accident occurred to mar the tho-
rough enjoyment Of the' hunt, and the
riders came in. showing all the natural
exhlaration of the chase in their faces
and the ebulition Of their spirits.
The Deep Run Hunt Club possesses
now string OF hunters that would COM
pare well with those CT any club in the
country. All are splendid cross country
horses, splendidy built, and with plenty
OF speed to keep them in close touch
with the hounds when they run with
| noses brushing the ground and tails In
the air.
Those who rode to hounds were MS fol-

This Season-Temperature Three
Degrees Above Normal.
Special to Times-Republican.


Des Moines, Aug. 13.-The weather
and crop bulletin for the state, issued
today and including conditions up to
yesterday, shows that the week was
not as a whole, favorable to crops.
The average daily temperature was
about degrees above the normal,
with excessive humidity and nearly
the normal amount of sunshine, rem
derng the weather oppressive to n an
and beast. Frequent showers, mainly
at night, with heavy dews and fcgs,
interfered with farm operations in
haying, harvesting and threshing. Tx
cept in the northwest district, the
rainfall was generally excessive. On
the evening of the 7th considerable
damage to crops and buildings was
caused by heavy windstorms in the
north Genital district.
Reports indicate that some progress
was made during the latter half of the
week in haymaking, harvesting and
threshing. The corn crop has made
very rapid advancement in all we'll
cultivated fields. Pastures have never
been better. Potatoes on dry soil are
very promising, and the gardens are
unusually productive.

When Elk Roamed Over Iowa.

Toledo, Aug. 13.-Editor Tices-F.e-
publican: I saw in your issue of Au-
gust a sketch of the life of Calvin
w. Eighmey, and that during the
early pioneer days in Black Hawk
county. in 1861, that an elk was
captured near his cabin. I lived in
Cedar Falls in 1856 and on the day OF
the presidential election, seven elk
came across the river and thru The
Main street of the village and out on
the prairie south. Quite number OF
men went after the elk and did not
get back in time to vote. The next
day started on foot for Tama co,n-
ty. When 1 got to Black Hawk creek
I found quite a large number of the
Musauakie Indians there in camp, or
rather the squaws, and their child
rem The rest had gone after the elk.
The Indians had killed two of them
and had their skins stretched up be-
tween trees. The squaws begged COR
tobacco and gave them some. but they
were not satisfied, and half dozen or
more grabbed me and took my To-
bacco away from me. They had a
hearty laugh over the. matter, but I
did not think 1t so funny.
