ture, who returned from southwestern
Missouri.
I'm the central western part of the
state" said Mr.. Ellis. corn is al

trail Missouri very few fields are be-
ginning to fire. Where corn has tas-
seled in the hot wave of the past
week, the pollen is killed and the
corn will not yield. Whenever there
is a local shower of any kind, farmers
should get into the fields with a now
er wheel and break up the clotts, thus
re-establishing the dust blanket to
save moisture. Had it not been for
the dry farming methods in use over
Missouri, and for which the newspa-
pers are directly responsible, corn
would have been gore ten days or two

Three sets of brothers and a father

STEAMER lRMA SUNK IN SAN
JUAN RIVER, COSTA RIGA.
Boat Which Rams Vessel on Wrong
Side and Fails to Change Course
Accident Caused by Storm.

Port Limon, Costa Rica.-In the
blacRness of a tropical storm at night
30 passengers and members of the
crew sank with the small steamer
Irma, when it was struck by the Dia-
mantle. Only eight passengers of the
Irma escaped.
The collision occurred in the estu-
airy of the San Juan river. The Irma
was on her way to Greytown with
more than 40 passengers and a large
cargo of freight. The Diamante, with
16 passengers and only moderately
laden, was steaming up the river to-
ward Castillo. The Irma on the right
side of the river, is said to have been
going slowly at the time. The Dia-
mantle was on the same side, and is
said to have been going at high speed.
1t Is alleged by survivors of the r.
mas crew that the pilot Immediately
upon seeing the Diamante changed his
course, but that the rapidly approach
ing vessel either on account of the
storm or because of its Roadway APP
peared to keep straight upon its
course. The Irma was rammed with
frightful force. Her sides were splin-
tered in and several passengers are
thought to have met death in the
crash. The Diamante's bow was shat
tered, but not sufficient to render the
vessel unseaworthy, and the alarm
did not extend to the officers. The
boats were lowered as quickly as pos
sible.

PARTY MAY BE DISRUPTED
House of Lords Expected to Pass the
Measure, as 1t Would Still Retain
Some Power.

London.-British politics at the pres
ent moment bears a peculiarly inter
esting aspect. Nobody doubts that
the veto law will become a law.
Lord Lansdowne himself has spoken
on that assumption in the last debates
in the house of lords. The only ques-
ton is whether the lords will carry
their opposition to the point of fore
ing wholesale creation of peers.
Generally such a policy is regarded
az suicidal, because when the veto
bill is passed the lords would still re-
tain effective power in delaying legis-
lation, which would be entirely lost
II the creation of peers established a
permanent Liberal majority.
Hence, it is the almost universal
opinion that the lords will yield at
the last moment,
