NO COOK FOR HARvEsTERS.
Next Year Iowa Women Are Likely
To Go On a Strike.

Bode, Ia, Aug. 25.-A sensation has
been sprung in farm circles by the
revolt of many farmers wives in
this, Humboldt county, on the custom
of providing entertainment for thrash
ing crews. Said one prominent far
mers wife: II am just sick and tired
of annually turning my house upside
down and working myself and my
girls sick TO provide banquets for
harvesting crews in addition to the
large family we, always have. Up in
Minnesota - and the Dakotas the
thrashing crews carry their own
cooks and cook tents and feed Them
selves, and there is no good reason
why the same system should not pre-
vail here. In Illinois and Indiana
the farmers wives organized them,
selves into a body and protested
against this outlandish custom of
working themselves to death during
the very hottest weather and that's
what we are going to do. Next year
the thrashing gangs had better pro-
vide themselves with mess tents
when they come to Humboldt county,
for we will positively refuse to cook
for them"

A few years ago the legislature en-
acted law which provided that the
county supervisors of each county
could appropriate the sum of three
hundred dolia-s for the purpose c
conducting experiments on the coun-
ty farm. The county supervisors Of
Mahaska county decided to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity and this
is the first season experimental work
is being conducted in Mahaska county.
The object of these demonstrations
and experiments is to direct the at
tention of the farmers to the condi-
ton of their seed corn and bring be-
fore them in the most forcible and
practical way some of the things that
have been advocated by the best corn
growers and breeders.
The experiment station comprises
about twelve acres. All planting was
done by hand. Three kernels were
planted In every hill, with the excep-
ton of few plots in the thickness

down the page.
AS the corn has not yet been har-
vested, no results of the yield can be
given here. The object of this report

Monroe, La, Aug. 25.--Angered, ID
is believed because two of his friends
had recently been shot by policemen
in this city, William s. Wade, negro,
ran amuck on the principal business
street of Monroe with double-bar-
relied shotgun, shooting first at every
white man he saw and then very in
discriminatory at every object before
him.
The fire was returned and the negro
finally fell dead with bullet through
his heart, but not before 20 men, three
of them members of his own race, had
been more or less seriously wounded
The seriously wounded are Hugh
Bigger, policeman; T. H. Grant, dep
uty sheriff; Simon Marks, merchant

mack, West Monroe, arm shattered.

pany.
Body Burned In Street.
Wade's body was publicly burned
after it had been cut down from a
pole on which it had been hung for
half an hour or more, after he was
killed.
1t was at first reported that Wade
was half crazed at the time from the
effects of cocaine and cheap whisky,
but an investigation by the police
showed that when he purchased the
shotgun and box a few minutes before
he opened fire on the first there was
nothing unusual in his manner. He
had not been drinking nor did he
show any evidence of having taken
cocaine.
Wade came to Monroe recently from
Pine Bluffs, Ark. He was accom-.
panied by several other negroes and
they commenced to make trouble for
the local police soon after they ar
rived. 1t was alleged that they were
members Of society in Arkansas,
which had as it's object revenge for
all injuries done the black race.
Bronson, Fla, Aug 25.-Steve

Nothing definite has been done
so far by the council committee
on the electric question. The

looking up the character and
financial standing OF John w.

here last week and the committee
expects to make its final recon-
