Boone. June 14.-The first gun in the
campaign in Boone to close the sa-
looms and put the lid on in this town,
was fired last night by DIR. O. III. l..
Mason. pastor of the Presbyterian
church. DR.. Mason's sermon theme was
Can the Saloons Be Closed in Boone ."
He said emphatically that they could.
and that he was going to lead the
movement at once to have them closed
DR.. Mason cited numerous circum-
stances in Boone in which he showed
just why the saloons were not profit
able to the town, and gave many sta
tistics of interest. The people OF this
city were asked to respond to the
prayers Of the righteous, and in con-
Guiding the speaker said that If it was
the last thing that he would do in
this city. he would close the saloons.
DIR. Mason is deeply in earnest in
this movement. He realizes TINT the
saloons Of the city are regulated as

just returned from Marshalltown
where he said he caught the closing
spirit and would If possible. make
Boone the model town of the state He
said the merchants would be benefited
and that pauperism and crime would
cease. His audience was with him and
the movement launched last night
promises to be the beginning of a bit
ter war; The saloonists of this city
claim that they are entitled to continue
in the business because they have been
on the square with the people and
obeyed the laws. DR.. Mason holds that
this is not the point at issue, whether
they obeyed the law or not, the sa-
looms are wrecking the morals of the
town and must go. He said last night
that he was confident of closing them.

LESS ACREAGE IN IOWA.
Corn Planting Harassed by Heavy
Rains-GoneraI Stand Good.

HaInS-G0nerAI Stand Good.
Des Moines, June 14.-Implement
men whose business puts them in con-
tact with farmers in all portions of the
state, declare that the excessive rain
fall is not having rs serious an effect
upon the crops as Is generally sup
posed. The acreage will be diminished
in corn and the oats acreage is also
less than usual, but 1T Is hoped that
the excellent stand will make up for
the cut down acreage.
"Oats were never better and pastur-
age is immense" said w. H. Town,
manager of the International Harvest
er plant. 'The acreage Of corn is small
as yet, but the stand is good and 1t
is the stand that makes the crop. In
the lowland districts the rain has pre-
vented the planting of corn and this
may result in a decreased total yield,
but the quality should be first class,
as view it. 1t may be that because of
the lessened oats acreage, we will sell
fewer binders this year than we should
like, but" he added jokingly. I'VE
have hopes that the straw will be so
heavy it will tear the binders to pieces
and thus create demand"
L. A. Ruhl of the Emerson Manufac-
turing Company reports crop condi-
lions as booming. There Is not SO
much acreage as there should be. but
there is q wonderful life and vitality in
everything this year." he said. THE
demand for cultivators has been some
thing marvellous, and the early demand
for mowers beats any in recent years.

TRrsx Ats AT MASON CITY
TO CARE FOR SICK
MEMBER.
WOMAN PLACED IN HOSPITAL
BECAUSE OF SERIOUS ILLNESS
Aside from Their wsnderlust and
Their Aversion to Manual Labor
Members Of Tribe Are Intelligent
and Like Other PeopIe-somethins
of the Jones Tribe.

Special to Times-Republtcan.
Mason City, June 14.-For the first
time in many years the Jones tribe
of gypsies has pitched it's camp for
a stay Of more than few days Dinah
Jones, one Of the members of the
tribe. is seriously i'll in the City Park
hospital here, suffering from severe
attack Of pneumonia. She was taken
i'll in Mankato, Mimi, nearly a month
ago, but since the ailments to which
gypsies are generally subject are
either slight or of nature to bring
about quick death, no medical aid was
summoned until the tribe arrived here
and the woman still remained very i'll.
Her condition is dangerous and if she
does recover 1t will only be after a
long illness In the meanwhile the tribe
will remain encamped in a pasture east
Of the city.
In this tribe there are four families
and three are brothers, the fourth be-
ing the husband of a sister to the 9TH
er three. They all bear the tribal name,
Jones, and all are children of Euro
pean gypsies. The father of the Jones
brothers was born and lived for many
years in Alexandra, Egypt. Coming to
this country many years ago he took
up the nomadic life common to the
gypsies the world over, and in this
country We're born the ones who now
make up, the tribe. They have all Wis
tied Alexandria and speak Of the
place with wonder and interest. But
they say that America Is the best and
that they are glad to be back here.
Jim" Jones, the Oldest man of the
tribe, Is the head or chief and he rules
the other members absolutely. They
travel almost necessarily, in the north
in the summer and in the south in the
winter, thus changing their route con-
stantly with the seasons. One OF the
brothers acknowledged that Jones is a
queer name for a gypsy family but
stated that such was their name just
the same. They make their living
mostly by bartering horses. One of the
gypsies said, Sometimes business is
good and sometimes 1t is very bad.
Sometimes We make a lot OF money
and again we lose. Sometimes we have
! to go with very little to eat for a long
time. But we like to live out Of doors
all the while, and to travel every day
and to pitch our camp in a new place
every night. We will stay here till my
sister. is we'll but we are tired of it
already. We want to be moving on"
Gypsies and the lives they lead are
considered strange and mysterious to
nearly everyone. That is, however, only
because they know nothing Of them.
Outside Of their love Of the nomadic
life they are very much like other peo-
pie and down underneath their dark
skins and gaudy clothing they carry
human hearts as we do. This Is more
than proven by their attitude toward
their sick sister. They will never leave
here until she is well or until her dead
body is given over to them to be bur-
led according to their own rites and
customs.

Wounds Captain Raymond and In
jures Two others-Then Attempts
Suicide.
Des Moines, June 14.-Capt John c.
Raymond, commanding officer of
Troop B, Second United States cavalry,
was shot and possibly fatally injured
in his office at Fort Des Moines Sun
day by Corporal Lisle Carbtree of his
own troop at noon Sunday. First Ser
geant James H. Washburn and Cor
poral Elijah Such, who were in the
room with Captain Raymond at the
time, were also wounded, and Crabtree
also shot himself just below the heart.
He will probably survive.
Crabtree's attempt at wholesale MUIR
der was the result of an official repri-
mand by Captain Raymond for having
over-stayed his leave from the post He
had been in Des Moines Saturday night
and had arrived at the fort during the
morning, too late to report before his
leave Of absence expired. Crabtree re-

summons, declared that he understood
his leave extended until 1880 p. m. yes
terday instead of 1880 a. M, and his
excuse was accepted.
He had provided himself with 80
caliber Harrington & Richardson re-
volver before going to the captains
quarters, and after Captain Raymond
had refused his request to approve his
transfer to another organization in the
army service. he whipped out the
weapon and fired.
The first bullet went wild, but each
Of the other four found human tar
get. Sergeant Washburn was struck
by bullet which penetrated his hand
and crashed through his jaw bone.
Captain Raymond then grappled with
Crabtree and received a bullet thru
the left side of the neck, ranging
downward and striking the back bone,
causing paralysis. Corporal Smith
sustained flesh wound in his left arm
and the bullet flashed thru the win
dow, narrowly missing Corporal Vayo.

| Sometime during the encounter
Crabtree found time to turn his weap-
on against his breast and pull the trig-
ger, and it is supposed it was the last
bullet in the revolver which found its
way into his body. Not until he was
taken to the guard house was the
wound discovered.
Following the shooting Captain Ray
mond was removed to the regimental
hospital, where an examination by the
surgeons proved the wound to be ex-
tremely serious. DR.. Wilton Mccarthy

and advised that the injured officer be
