The Diamond 10 steamer DUBUQUE
which passed through here last Friday
morning on her way down the river
was caught on sand bar near Graf

hours, finally being pulled off by the
steamer City of Memphis. The boat
was on her way up the river and was
due to arrive here yesterday but ow-

sand bar five miles above Grafton. Ill.
early Saturday morning, was pulled
off the bar by the City of Memphis
late Saturday night, and arrived here
at 4 O'Clock Sunday morning. The
100 tourist passengers from this city
who were aboard her remained in their
berths until about 6 o'clock yesterday
morning, when they departed for their
homes.
The Dubuque went aground at 8
O'Clock Saturday morning and was
held fast on the bar all day Saturday.
There was no severe shock felt when
the boat struck and it caused but little
excitement among the passengers

night. When they saw their plight in

On board the stranded vessel the

The Hot, Dry Weather Is Beginning to
Tell on the Various Products

RAINFALL TOO LIGHT
Only in tho Northwest Part of Iowa
Was There Anything Near Like

The Iowa weather and crop bulletin

is as follows for the state and for the
southeast district:
Clear, warm days, moderately warm
nights and no rainfall. except light

ties. Haying and harvesting are
practically finished and stacking and
shock threshing is progressing rap
idly Threshers' reports continue to
show good yield and quality OF win.
ter wheat and oats of good quality and
fair yield. Late oats are generally
better than the early varieties. Corn
has made good progress but is need
ing rain especially in the eastern dis.
tricts. It is caring nicely and many
OF the early planted fields are nearly
up to the roasting ear stage. Pas
lures. late potatoes and garden truck
are beginning to show the effect of
dry weather, and will deteriorate
very rapidly unless good rain comes
soon. Fall blowing has begun in a
few localities and indications are now
favorable for a large increase in the
acreage of winter wheat. Reports vary
as to the condition OF fruit, but apples
are falling badly and grapes are rot

Still Working on Bank Bill.

The senate has refused to concur
in the agreement reached by the
house and senate conferees on the
bank deposit guaranty bill. The mo-
ton of Senator Quincy to non-concur
was carried by rising vote Of 26
to 10.
Other conference committees were
then appointed.
The report provided that SAVINGS de-
posits subject to check should be
guaranteed up to 500 for each man.
The senate had refused to allow this
and the house required it, but the
conferees fixed up a compromise and
it was thought that the bill would go
through as the conferees fixed it. The
senate was opposed to allowing open
interest bearing accounts to come un-
der the guaranty plan and the major
ity was so large that there was no
doub of it. Many of the senators
were opposed to any guaranty, so they
took pleasure in voting with those
opposed to this feature of the bill in
the hope that the guaranty measure
would be killed.

impracticaIity of Practical Education
am even SO optimistic as to think
1t not impossible that even the general
public will revise its notions of prac
ticality. At any rate, my experience
as teacher has seen one complete
change of judgment in this matter,
writes Dean Birge in the Atlantic
when l began to teach zoology my
teeth were continually set. on edge by
the well-meaning friends who talked
wisely of the practical nature Of the
study of science as contrasted with
language. For the past Is years, or
more, have heard nothing of this. All
are now aware that the study of sci
ence Is no more practical, and no less
80, than the study of philosophy. To-
day that practically" which once
seemed to inhere in science is placed
in the study of history and of econo-
mics. In is years more the world
may have learned that these new hui
manities are chiefly valuable, not as
furnishing practical guides to the af-
fairs of active life, but that they stand
with the old humanities, with the sci
ences, with philosophy, as furnishing
way into the intellectual life. 1t may
be well that students will learn that
In coming to college they are seeking
the intellectual life, and that the way
in which they reach it matters little,
so that the result have in it abundant
vitality and many points of growth.

Recommends Rate Standard.

The railroad committee of the
house has recommended for passage
the White bill in regard to establish
ing standard for the fixing of rates.
The bill provides that the railroad
commissioners in fixing distance tar
iff rates shall take as basis the ter
minal rates put in by the railroads
themselves, except such terminal
rates as are established through COM
petition.
Chairman Morgan of the committee
said that no consideration had yet
been given to his bill establishing
maximum rate on wheat, corn and
other grain and their products and
cattle, hogs and coal. This bill scales
down present freight rates from 10
to 20 per cent on the commodities
mentioned. 1t was drawn by the rail-
road board, and is said to have the
backing of the administration.

At Work on Bank Bill.

The conferees on the bank deposit
guaranty bill have begun their work.
There are numerous minor amend
ments which the house made to the
senate bill which can be wiped out in
the conference, but there are two
chief points on which it is not expect
ed that an agreement will be reached.
These points are in regard to the
guaranty of Notwithstanding de-
posits and permitting the trust COM
panies to participate in the guaranty
plan.
The house insists on both of these,
while the senate maintains that only
time certificates of deposit can come
under the guaranty plan, and the SEN
ate has stricken out the trust COM
pany provision.
The conferees are Senators Cam
born and Price and REPRESENTATIVES

EMPLOYEES Liability Bill.

Under the provision Of a bill rec
commended for passage in the house
the employees liability bill--an en-
ploye of a railroad company, inter-
urban railway company. street rail-
way company, mine, factory or work
shop can collect damages from his en-
ployer in case of injury, even though
he contributed to the accident through
his own carelessness. The only thing
he needs to prove is that he was less
careless than some one else connect
ed with the company who contributed
to his accident. The bill also provides
hat he may collect in case his acct
dent was due to faulty machinery or
to carelessness on the part of some
other employee. The present law
makes some such provision for the
railroad man actually employed in the
operation of trains, but this bill takes
in all employees connected with the
operating or mechanical part of the
works.
