slider it their bounden duty-to inter-

wholly lacking in tact and depth Of

Mrs. Brooks was too much occupied

DRouTH GROWS SERIOUS
No Rain in North Central Iowa foA.
Four Weeks and Farmer. Begin to
Fear for Corn crop-Dust Deep in
hiahways.

Special to Times Republican.
Mason City, Aug. 9.-Four weeks ago
last Friday Mason City had it's last
rain and drouth conditions now pre-
vail here. Lawns are burning up and
the leaves of the less hardy trees are
beginning to shrivel from the lack Of
moisture and the constant beating
down of the hot suns rays. On all
roads the dust has become so deep
and so fine that it is thing univer-
sally dreaded.
During all the time OF the drouth
most of the days have been cloudless
and there has been no day for several
weeks that the thermometer has not
registered above the 80 mark. With
such long continued and intense heat
the prostrations resulting have been
numerous, altho not one has as yet
proved fatal. Up to this time there has
been no crop damage and during the
four weeks of dry weather all crops
have made wonderful progress.
On the Fourth of July the farmers in
this vicinity expected only a third Of a
crop Of oats and they have just now
finished the harvesting Of a crop above
the average. The hay crop was of good
quality, bounteous, and harvested un-
der ideal conditions, the corn has
grown by leaps and bounds and pros
poets at this time are for a bumper
crop, If II rains soon. ALL the farmers
say 'There is no especial damage yet
| but we fear for the corn unless we
have rain in a few days."

Alleging that the Burlington's rail-

drainage of their land which lies along
the right Of way Of the Chicago. Bur-
1ington and Quincy railway between
Corning, Craig and Biglow, thirty
farmers have filed suits in the circuit
courts of the counties represented,
which aggregate 100000. Thousands
of acres OF corn were drowned out as a
result Of the stopping of the drainage
by the railroad tracks. One farmer
near Craig is said to have planted 600
acres of corn twice and lost both crops.

Marathon Racers
Want Too Match

Matters In regard to the next Mar.
athon race are progressing slowly and,
unless some agreement Is come to this
afternoon, II Is not known when the
details will be arranged.
Tsukamotos manager and the rest
Of the bunch had meeting yesterday
afternoon, and decided to offer the Ath.
letc Park management certain sum
for the use Of the grounds. The run.
rers' managers would then run the
whole Marathon themselves.
Judging from the way In which the
ten-mile race was conducted under out
side management, there seems to be a
doubt as to whether the affair would
DO success.
The Athletic Park management
stands for something, and with them
at the head Of the affair, everybody
would be satisfied that things would be
alright. With the runners managing
the race, another mix up might occur
and one thing Of that sort Is enough
for most people.
The first proposition made the Ath.
letic Park management was that they
run the show and hand over so per
cent Of the gate receipts to the run.
ners, and 20 per cent to the trainers
and managers Of the peds. No less
than so per cent of the gross receipts
were demanded. II that is not hog
ging all In sight, what Is?
There Is a lot Of advertising to be
done In connection with a Marathon
race, and ther care plenty Of expenses
that must be met II would seem a
better plan for the Park. people to
offer three good prizes for first, second
and third places in the race, and run
the whole show themselves.
There will be another Meeting to.
day. and the matter may be decided
In time to give the result In another
