II. D. Overholt, One Time Iowa City
Official, Shoots Himself.
Des Moines, Sept: 9.-H. D. Over
holt, an old soldier and for eight years
postmaster at Iowa City, sent bull
let crashing into his brain in a room
on the third floor of the KiNSwood
hotel yesterday morning. Death must
have been instantaneous, as when his
son-in-law, Attorney Chandler Wood
bridge, entered the room the corpse
was cold. A streak of blood, dried on
the cheek. told the tel1-tale cause Of
death. Dependency. brought on by
melancholia and brooding over his ILL
health, is aseribed as the cause
prompting the deed. ID was sixty-sev-
en- years old.
Having previously threatened to take
his life "a search was made for him
when he became missing from his
daughters residence at $50 West Third
street, early yesterday morning. Mr..
Woodbridge made a search of the
downtown streets and hotels. The en-
tire forenoon was spent in trying to
locate the missing man. AS last re-
sort he went to the Kirkwood hotel,
and not seeing, him in the lobby was
about to leave when he glanced at the
register. Scrawled across the page was
III. d. Overholt, 800 West Third
street."

BUMPER CORN CROP
Better Quality Than Raised for Five
Years in Geneva, vicinity-Matured
in Two Weeks.

in Two Weeks.
Special to Times Republican.
Geneva, Sept. 9.-Two more weeks
OF warm weather and the corn crop
Of this section will be matured. From
present indications. 1t will be bumper
crop. of better quality than has been
raised for five years.
1t has been a number Of years since
farmers have realized as much for
their crops as they will this year. The
oat crop yielded from twenty-av
bushels to forty bushels per acre. This
yield, at the high prices prevailing,
nets the producer from $40 to $50 per
acre. Corn will probably go from for
ty to sixty bushels per acre, and will
easily sell at fifty cents per bushel.
This yield and price will net the farm
ers very handsome profit.
These prosperous conditions are al
ready having an effect. Many farm
buildings are being erected. and land
values are advancing. A farm which
sold last year for $63 an acre, could
now be sold for $50 an acre, but the
owner refused to part with 1t for that
price. Well informed land dealers pre-
dict that Franklin county land FIVE or
six miles from town, will soon be
bringing 500 per acre.
