REPORT SHOWS
A BIC LOSS
CORN YIELD WILL BE LIGHTER
THAN EXPECTED; IOWA is
ABOVE AVERAGE.

Drought and hot winds in the west
and southwest have caused sensa-
tional reduction in the corn crop prom
Use the last month. The government
crop statisticians in the September
report issued from Washington We'd
nesday, estimates a shrinkage of 341,-
100000 bushels from the promised
yield of 2,946,000,000 bushels of Aug. /.
This will spell disaster in many corn
sections, especially in the southwest,
and although higher prices for the corn
that has not been damaged doubtless
will obtain, the value of the corn lost
as result of the prolonged drought on
the basis of so cents a bushel on the
farm is about s175,000,o00.
Moreover a crop that lust a month
ago was believed to promise the larg-
est yield ever raised has been whitfield
down to less than the average of re-
cent years, the Indicated outturn now
being about 2,605.000,000 bushels com
pared to final harvest of 2,66S, 900, 900
bushels a year ago.
Great Loss is Surplus States.
The principal losses in corn hav.
fallen on what are known as the sur
plus states. and which furnish the
great bulk of the crop which is mar
keted. In Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Iowa, and Nebraska the
crop promise has been cut down $780,
100000 bushels, the indicated yield in
these seven surplus states being 1,507 :
100000 bushels, compared to prom
ised crop a month ago of 1,797,O00,oo0.
In the seven surplus states the in

BUXTON MINES CHANGE HANDS

Buxton, Sept 1O.-Beginning with
September list, e. M. Baysoar took
charge of the Buxton mines as super
intendent. It is his desire to carry out
the well known and successful plans
inaugurated by Mr.. Buxton and in SO
doing will make no radical change in
the work Of the mines or the estab-
lished order of things in the comnun-
ity.
Mr.. Baysoar comes to Buxton from
Spring Valley, ILL.,, where he has been
general superintendent of the Spring
Valley Coal Co., which employs about
the same number of men as the Con-
solidation Coal company here. Some
years ago he was general superinten.
dent of the Iowa Fuel company, oper-
ating at Flagler, Lost Creek and Green
Ridge, III. His long experience in work
of this kind has given him special
fitness for the duties he now assumes
as manager of one of the largest coal
camps in the state of Iowa. Mr.. Bay
soar was also formerly at Colon, Ia,
near Oskaloosa and was familiar with
conditions in the camp at Muchaki
mock. He knows many of the older
men in Buxton and is remembered by
them. All are hopeful of success under
his management.

which made the properties as nearly
perfect as possible This policy con-
tinued on all the Hartman lines.
Mr.. Harriman's most spectacular
performance was when he struggled
with the Morgan Hill interests for

Test of Primary Laws.

Ii is becoming apparent that the state
legislatures which will meet this winter
will have much to do with determining
the immediate future of the primary
election system throughout the country.
The South was first to accept the
scheme of the popular primary. The
reason is obvious. There is but one
party in the South. All the real fights
must be made within the ranks of De-
mocracy. Unless the warning elements
be given opportunity for fighting out
the differences within the Democratic
ranks, there can be no determinative
tests of public opinion in the South.
This has not been true at the North
and, therefore, the North has been
slower to adopt the primary. In most
of the Northern states it is still possible
to get up first class row between Re-
publicans and Democrats and, therefore,
it is not necessary to get opposing fac
lions of the dominant party at swords
points.
But in the last few years the North
has been getting almost as strongly Re
publican as the South has been Demo.
cratic; and with this development there
has been growing demand for the pr-
mary system of nominations. The pub
lie demands the privilege of a ''scrap"
and if it can't be had between the par
ties, then it is wanted within the ruling
party.
Lately there has been a good deal Of
criticism of the popular primary laws
of Southern and Western states. Es-
pecially has that of Oregon been brought
under the guns. But it is interesting to
note that while the academic critics are
finding fault with the Oregon plan,
several states are interesting themselves
in it. Governor elect Stubs of Kansas
was investigating the Oregon plan while
in Washington recently. and expressed
himself as inclining strongly toward it.
The Nebraska legislature is likely to
pass like statute and the word comes
that the New Hampshire reformers are
making the same proposal part of their
program.
The general idea of bringing nomina-
tions closer to the people is apparently
not losing ground.-Washington Times

STOMACH DISTRESS.
And all Misery from Indigo sti o n
vanishes Five Minutes Later.

Every family here ought to keep some
Diapepsin in the house, as any one of
you may have an attack of Indigestion
or Stomach trouble at any time, day or
night.
This harmless preparation will digest
anything you eat and overcome sour
stomach five minutes afterwards.
1t your meals don't tempt you, or what
little you do eat seems to fill you, or lays
like lump of lead in your stomach, or if
you have heartburn, that is a sign of
indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50-cent
case of Pape's Diapepsin and take one
triangule after supper tonight. There
will be no sour risings, no belching of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea,
Debiitating Headaches, Dizziness or In
testinal gripping. This will all go, and,
besides, there will be no sour food left
over in the stomach to poison your breath
with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is certain cure for
all stomach misery, because it will take
hold of your food and digest it just the
same as if your stomach wasn't there
Actual, prompt relief for all your
81 omach misery is at your Pharmacist
waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases contain more
than sufficient to cure case of Dyspep
STA or Indigestion.

Druggist Here in Town Say They
Can Supply the Ingredients or

the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce: Compound Kargon, one ounce !;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well in bottle and take a
teaspoonful dose after each meal and at
bedtime.
The above is considered as the most
certain prescription ever written to re-
lieve Backache, Kidney Trouble, Weak
Bladder and all forms of Urinary diff
culties. This mixture acts promptly on
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
enabling them to filter and strain the
uric acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with the
Affections may not feel inclined to place
much CO nfidence in this simple mixture,
yet those who have tried it say the re-
suits are. simply surprising, the relief
being effected without the slightest in

sport.

upon the selection says:
Professor Lowell is well fitted for the
place by character, training and distinc-
ton
President Faunce, at his home in Prov
idence, said
professor Lowell, as president of Har-

Prof. Lowell was born Dec. 10, 1856. AT
