Weather Crop Bulletin.

For the week ending June l, 1905
Des Moines, Iowa.-From Monday
morning to Friday night, the tempera-
ture was considerably above normal,
with frequent and general showers.
The rainfall was excessive; the total
for the week at many stations exceeded
the monthly normal. Continuous rains
prevented any field work being done
until Saturday, and the loss to crops
by washing and floods will be consider
able. A great deal of corn will have
to be replanted, aud, as a result, there
is now nearly as large an acreage to be
planted as there was two weeks ago.
The early planted fields are becoming
very weedy, but the more favorable
conditions which prevailed during the
last two days afforded an opportunity
to do some cultivating on high and
we'll drained land. All small grain,
grass, clover and potatoes have made
rank growth, but reports indicate that
the condition is good except on low
land where the grain is becoming
yellow.

Sir Reehers Henry Butler.

that after his forces had been re
pulsed at the Tugela river on Decem-
Der 16, 1899, he sent word to Gen.
White at Ladysmith advising him to
surrender to the Beers. For his IN
discretion In making such an admis-
sion as this In public address, rath-
or than for the act itself, the British
war Office relieved Gen. Butler Of his
command. He was placed on half
pay, and Gen French, who had beeu
kerying with Kitchener in South
Afica. was appointed to succeed him.
Many Take Buffers Side.
Z a leadfns British service paper, the
Army and Navy Gazette, at that time
defended Gen. Butler, and declared
that his order to Gen. White, in view
OF all the circumstances, was chiv-
alrous and not blameworthy act
Other voices were heard in Gen. Bull
ler's behalf, and disposition was ap-
parent in many influential quarters to
regard him as victim of jealousy and
malicious spite.
There We're many who said Gen.
Lord Roberts would have Jared NO
better In the Transvaal If he had un.
dertaken to crush the Beers with the
forces at Cen Buffers command 1t
was only after Great Britain had
placed in South Africa an army that
outnumbered the burghers ten to one
that the tide of battle turned in her
direction. Then Butler had been dis
placed and others reaped the rewards
Of victory.
AS the result Of his early military
successes Gen. Butler had, according
to army critics, more than his share
OF self confidence. He believed in him
self most thoroughly, knew better gen.
orally than anyone else, and stuck
positively to his own opinion in oppo-
sition to that Of all the world.

Cresco Wins Again.

The opening ball game of the season
in Cresco on Thursday brought out a
big crowd of enthusiasts who followed
the band and automobile parade to the
ball park. Mayor Davenport pitched
the first ball and succeeded in getting
it near enough to the plate to have it
called zone ball'' and then the fun
began.
Two innings were played without a
score and then a number of errors
commenced which allowed Cresco to
roll up total of seven to two for
Calmar and the latter were caused
by an unfortunate fall by Schuetz who
was about to throw ball which would
have put out bare runner.
Calmar changed pitchers during the
game, but while the second man had
better control of the ball than the first
man, Cresco hit him freely.

General BUTLER
OF Britain DEAD
ENGLISH OFFICER WHO LOST A
SPLENDID REPUTATION IN
WAR PASSES AWAY. =,
BRILLIANT EARLY CAREER
SPOILED BY BoER FIGHTS
Disastrous Beginning OF Campaign to
Crush South Africans Gave Rise to
His Famous Phrase 81 Regret TO
Report'-sketeh of His Life.

London, June 3-Gen. Sir Red
vegs Bulle4 who in the Boer war lost
fine military reputation and brought
into worldwide vogue the phrase: Il
regret to report" died Tuesday after
an illness of several weeks.
In the early stages of the war Gen.
Butler was tn supreme command of
the British forces IN the field. He
was a veteran soldier and had Won
in India, Egypt and other parts OF the
world where Great Britain had had
fighting to do.
But South Africa had been called
a graveyard" Of military fame long
before the conflict with the sturdy
burghers was begun. Many psomis-
ing careers as well as many lives had
had their sad ending in the land Of
the veldt and the kopje. and Gen. Bull
ier's passing into the shadows only
gave greater appositeness to the term
than it ever had before.
Career Ended at Ladysmlth.
The action which finally led to Bull
ler's undoing was connected with the
siege Of Ladysmith in the autumn Of
1899. Gen. White was shut up in that
town for several months with body
of 10000 troops, and the siege was
raised only after several desperate
battles had been fought and the reliev.
ing British army under Gen. Butler
had lost heavily.

cREsco's OPPORTUNITY.
A Modern Hospital With Sisters of
Mercy in Charge.

A thirty-five thousand dollar hospi-
tai, modern in every respect, and in
charge of the most successful OF all
hospital arrangements, the Sisters OF
Mercy, is possibility for Cresco.
Following visit of Mother Agnes of
Dubuque to the Kessel hospital a
couple of weeks ago, the matter of TAX
ing over that property and erecting a
new building was taken under consid-
Grafton by her, and last week the nego-
tiations had reached this stage: DR..
Kessel agrees to transfer the entire
hospital property, valued at $4,000,
without consideration) to the Sisters
of Mercy. They erect a new brick and
stone building at cost of about $685.
900. The people of Cresco to contrib
ute $4,000 toward the building and
equipment.
A committee OF business men has
taken up the task of raising the funds
and upon their success hangs the fate
of the enterprise, for as soon as they
report favorably work will begin on
the new building and it will be com.
pleted at the earliest possible date.
The advantages of such an institu-
tion to this town and vicinity are self
evident. The present hospital has had
marked success during the past five
years, and it was this fact that caused
the sisters to take up the proposition
in preference to several other offers
they had received from other towns.
The business has outgrown its present
quarters and it is necessary to enlarge.
The most practicable means of doing
SO seems to be the plan above out
lined.
The property owners OF Cresco can
not afford to lose this opportunity for
double what it will cost to secure it,
and every citizen should do his part in
a financial way to make it a certainty.
The Sisters have assurance from the
Drs. Mayo that they will continue to dc
such work here as DIR. Kessel requests
and under such favorable conditions
it is only question of time
when the Kessel hospital will be as
) favorably known and as we'll patroniz
ed as the Rochester inititution, which
has converted that town from dormant
country town into thriving city o.
5000 population.
Il A public meeting may be called t.
discuss the matter and it is to be hopet
that every resident of Cresco will as
sumo the role of booster and there
should be little difficulty in making thu
enterprise certainty.
