This contest does not take the place of the

county farm which will be sufficiently
large foy both contests.
Pottawattamie county, it is said Is the
first county to adopt this method of inter-

good seed corn, that is, by setting aside
ground for their especial use.

boy and girl bring to your school one ear
of corn from their fathers seed. These
ears will be planted in special plots on the
county farm at McClelland, each ear in a
separate row. Explain to the children that
the ears will be marked and a record made
of the growth and yield OF each. During
the autumn, previous to the time of gath
ering the corn, a county picnic will be
held at the county farm, when a whole day
will be spent in studying the different rows

Fifteen Meet
Instant Death
By Explosion
Half Hundred Others Are Injured
When Powder Plant Blows Up
at 0nawa, Canada.

OTTAWA, May 9.-An explosion which
late today wrecked the plant of the Gen
eral Explosives Company Of Canada, ner
Hull, Quebec, instantly killed fifteen PEI
sons and injured fifty others The ~.
Of the explosion was terrific. The count
for miles around was laid waste and many
buildings in the city of Hull, near the scene
OF the explosion. were flattened to the
ground,
The silence which followed the final death
dealing blast was more terrifying than the
cries and means which came with a return
to consciousness of the badly injured. The
terrific shock brought thousand of terror
stricken people into the streets of Hull.
Some thought 1t was an earthquake, while
others cried out that the comet had struck
the earth. Hundreds of chimneys were
toppled over and there is scarcely whole
light of glass loft in the northeastern sec
ton Of the city.
1t was fully an hour and n half aftei
the explosion that word came into the city
OF the disaster. Ambulances and automo-
bles were rushed to the scene and the
seriously injured were carried to the HUI
hospitals until there was room for no
more and then they were brought to
Ottawa.

PARIS, May 9.--The confirmation of the
negotiations for $50,O00,00O worth Of st. Paul
railroad debentures and OF the probability
that American railroad bonds to the eX-
tent of nearly $1OOO00,O00 viii be sold in
Europe before the present international fl
nancial movement is ended, shows that j.
Perpont Morgan, the American financier
who supposedly came to Europe for rest,
has been working trelessy while he re-
cuperated and as the result Of his labors,
he has established the greatest market for
American securities in the worlds history.
Following upon the foregoing confirma-
ton today the cable brought word from
New York that two big American banking
firms, Kuhn, Loeb & Co, and Speyer g.
Co., had taken over coo worth of
Baltimore g. Ohos and placed them in
Paris, and with European investors. Indeed,
the conditions were finished before King
Edward died.
While Morgan attended to placing the
bonds abroad, William Rockefeller attended
to the American end, insofar as the
Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul railroad
was concerned. The st. Paul bonds will
carry per cent, but as a special induce
ment they will be offered on price basis.
Missouri, Kansas & Texas is arranging
to place SlOOOO,OOO bonds abroad, but 1t is
understood the bulk OF these will go to
Berlin. Another American railroad, Cleve-
land, Cincinnati & St.. Louis is negotiating
for the placing of tlOOOO,OOO bonds with
French bankers.
When Mr.. Morgan came abroad it was re-
ported unofficialIy that his mission was q
big one. but he persistently refused to talk
of his affairs.

MYSTERY in THE KINGS DEATH
Bronchial Trouble Was Probable
Cause, hut official Statement
Covering Case Is lacking.

LONDON. May 9.-There is more or less
mystery as to the cause OF the death of
King Edward. Although it is probably
true that the immediate cause of death
was bronchial trouble brought on by a
severe cold, it has been an open secret
for a long time that the late king was
suffering from a serious organic trouble,
and as one who knows the fact puts IL:
Has been living for months By sheer force
of will" Although his death was appar
entity sudden. 1t was no surprise to those
acquainted with the state of his health.

DRY GOODS MARKET

New York, July 17.-There has been
more selling of cotton goods during the
past week. but at sacrifice of values.
The trading has been controlled by
spirit of conservation emanating from
financial circles in the trade, and doubt
less reflected from outside. The cur
tailment of production has grown
steadily and Will continue until the
demand for goods forces values to a
profitable level. There are many signs
becoming clearer showing the scarcity
of stocks in first hands, despite the
movement in other quarters to lessen
the accommodations and turn merchan-
disc into cash.
Denims. tickings and some other
coarse colored cottons are not in abun-
dant supply in first hands. The print
ed goods market on the staple end is
quiet. Ginghams hold steady and are
in moderate request. The low end OF
bleached cottons is in fair shape. Fine
cottons have been more active for
spring delivery. There has been an
active call for job lots of wash and
white goods.
Buyers are very bearish on cotton
and talk of getting goods on a basis
of 10 cents for the staple. Goods are
now being sold on a basis of 12-cen,

situation is in the increasing curtail.

New York, July 1.-THE action of

the arrival OF speculation at stage
progress, with a disposition to pause
and look for further developments in
the shaping of the futures. Profits for
six months past have been on the side
of the bears. and the process of really
ing therefore involved some buying of
stocks to cover shorts. This, buying
Went on in the presence of some of the
unfavorable factors in the situation,
which had been foreseen in the pre-
vious short sales. 1t was prompted
partly by the perception of the subsi-
dence of the sales of stocks from real
holders which must be relied on to
justify position on the short side
and partly by the perception of the ex-
tent TO which the short interest had
grown and the corresponding increase

The existence OF these technical con-
