Few Fires This Year.

Settling claims for field fires caus-
ed by sparks from engines last year
cost the railroads thousands Of dol
lars. The dry season made the fields
unusually susceptible to fires and
during the early part of July when
the oats were full grown, each day
would bring to the railroad official
some new claim for damage done. &
Conditions this year are different.
The field fire caused by spark from
the passing locomotive is SO rare as
to be called minus quantity.
The many rains of this season
have kept the fields so we'll moisten-
ed as to eliminate all possible
chance of confagrations, while the
railroads are taking better precau-
ton against the treacherous flying
spark from the engine and in some
cases have put device on called a
spark arrester which kills the
spark and does away with all dan
ger connected with 1t.

LEFTY B|ESS[R ON
KEARNEY'S STAFF
Will Return to This City and Help
Colts Finish the Season-Has
Been Doing Fast Work.

Probably the best news for the
base ball fans of the city is that
Connie Beisser is to return to this
city and do some twirling for the
Colts" Manager Kearns received
a letter from the southpaw Fri
day saying that the professional
team in the state of Minnesota, with
whom Beisser has been working for
the past short time, has broken up
because of financial troubles and he
would be willing to throw for him
at any time Beisser first started
with the Fort Dodge League team
this year, but later jumped his con-
tract and went to Minnesota, where
he has been doing some fast work.
Lefty is without doubt the most pop
ular pitcher Kearney has ever had
on his staff and his addition should
cause big turnout to every session
ON the home grounds. With Beisser
on the slab "Kearney' should take
the long side of the score board
against Lehigh.

midst and in spite Of both the demo-
cratic and republican parties an
aristocracy Of predatory wealth,
strong, persevering and determined,
which, like the aristocracy Of half
a century ago, is sure to bring the
moral and civic righteousness of this
nation to shame and death unless
there is an energetic mobolizing of
our patriotic forces in a new party
with a forceful leader.
I am indeed glad there is a move
in that direction and that the wise
men Of the west behold the star Of
the leader in the east. He is the
man that speaks softly and carries
the big stick. Success to him.

DR. T. f. laY in the City.

DR.. F. e. Day, former pastor Of
the Methodist church of this city for
the conference years 1S99-1900 was
calling on old time friends in the
city Saturday for the first time In
IL years. His friends We're certain
ly glad to see him and only regret
that he was unable to remain over
Sunday and address his former par
ishioners. Dr.. Day is now pastor OF
the White Temple, beautiful large
church in st, Joseph, Mo-, and is in
charge of a field of work In that
city, making himself felt as one Of
the strongest and most influential
pastors of that place. Mrs. Day and
their son, Macabe. are visiting in
Ida Grove. DR.. Day left at noon
for Shellsburg, his first pastorate
in this state, where he spent
Sunday. The doctor is an enthusiast
tic Roosevelt supporter and believes
the colonel will carry Missouri and
perhaps enough other states to win
the election.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
NARROWLY AVERTfD
Party of Young Folks 0vertaken by
Train on the G. & n. w.
Ry. Bridge.

A number of young folks who at
tended the dancing party at the Out
ing club given Friday night re-
ceived quite bad scare while re-
turning to the city after the affair.
Owing to the large crowd that took
in the last of the Open Week enter
tainments the hack and auto livery
were insufficient to take care of
their trade and many of the dancers
were forced to walk. AS the ladies
did not like to cross the foot bridge
they chose to 60 over the Chicago
& Northwestern railway bridge.
When they had nearly reached the
south end of the bridge one of them
turned and saw an approaching
train but short distance behind.
Owing to the grade the train was
running open and noiselessly. The
young people did not have time to
reach the end of the bridge before
the train would pass and one of the
boys told them to get as near the
east side as possible and lie down.
When the train had passed the
young folks found that one Of their
number, Miss Gertrude Brown of
Chicago, had received a slight in
jury, having stumbled on the side of
the bridge, sustaining painful
bump on the nose, and was very bad
ly frightened from the happening.
However, the young lady was able
to continue on her way to the home
of her uncle, F. e. Brown, where
she has been visiting for the past
few days. After getting home Miss
Brown became very nervous as a re-
suit of the occurrence and tainted,
remaining unconscious for some
time. A physician was called and
the young lady soon recovered.

LOCAL OFFICER TO
Be IN COMMAND
Reported That Lieutenant Colonel
Hyatt Will Command Fifty
Sixth Regiment.

Iowa Falls, July 27.-Generala
Lincoln and Logan, Colonel Allen
and Captain Mumma were in the
city yesterday going over the details
Of the camp to be established by the
Iowa National guard in this city
Aug. IL to 81. Last evening they
met the directors of the Commercial
club and the members Of the various
special committees appointed to look
after the arrangements for the
camp.
Plans were made in accordance
with previous arrangements for
camping facilities and steps were
taken by the local men in charge of
affairs to maintain an information
bureau during the encampment.
Iowa Falls people are going to do
their best to take care of the thous-
ands who will visit the city during
the encampment, for in addition to
the 1000 soldiers in camp, there
will be thousands of visitors daily
attracted from all parts Of the state.
Last evening, Secretary Foster re-
ceived from General Logan notices
for bids for certain supplies for the
encampment. Bids will be receiv-i
ed at the adiutant generals Office up
to 10 a. M, Aug. S. Approximately
1876 pounds of fresh beef, $4,000
pounds of soft bread, $4,000 pounds
of potatoes and 2,s75 pounds of
onions are wanted.
1t was stated here today that Col.
w. T. Chantland Of Fort Dodge, who
has been in Washington, would re-
turn on leave absence and would
be chief of General James Rush Lin
coins staff. In such an event, it is
stated, Lieutenant Colonel Hyatt Of
Webster City will be in command Of
the Fifty-sixth regiment.
Unusual interest is being taken
by all the companies in Iowa in the
coming encampment and the indica-
lions are that this will be the big
gest gathering of guard troops in
the history OF the state.

ties found these conditions of SER
ious aspect. Much of the oats is
thoroughly ripened and some of it
already showing the effects Of not
being cut. Inquiry by him revealed
the fact, that the dearth of farm
laborers is the cause of the deplor-
able condition. The local man told
of one farmer who put in sixty
acres of oats and his help left him a
few days ago, forcing him to cut
his grain alone. He had tried every
way to get help, but to no avail. He
started on his oats few days ago
and he is forced to work day and
night. He arises in the morning at
about 4:30. and as soon as the dew
will allow him to start binding he
is out in the field. In the evening
he goes out after supper and works
until IL or 1 O'clock shocking. This
particular farmer has been working
in this manner for the past week
and has already saved much of his
grain. However, some Of 1t will
amount to but little as 1t is in poor
condition. It is said that in some
Of the western country there are
many families who are suffering ow-
ing to the lack Of work. Yet many
of the men who worked here dur
ing the spring have gone to that
country or to the north. Farmers in
this vicinity are offering top prices
for helpers, but can get few.

DEVISE Plan TO
BEAT COAL TRUST
Fort Dodge Laboring Men Form Or
ganization for That Purpose
Incorporate.

Capital: A new plan to get around
the recent edict of the coal barons
has developed at Fl. Dodge where
working men have banded them
selves together to get their own
coal. The articles Of Incorporation
filed today with the secretary of
state Of the Laboring Mems associa-
ton of 1T. Dodge give the company
the right to lease coal ground, mine
the coal and furnish coal to the
members. The officers and directors
are all laboring men, some of them
miners, and they expect to go into
the coal business on cooperative
basis furnishing the product to the
stockholders as cheaply as the cost
OF production and small dividends
for the company will permit.
So far as is known this is the
first time an effort has been made
to reduce the price of coal in Iowa
by the cooperative plan. The ar
ticles filed today give the company.
the right also to buy and sell merch-
andise and to establish a store if
they desire, but it is stated that the
chief business is to be to furnish
coal and sell 1t to the stockholders.
The company is organized with
$4,000 capital divided into shares Of
$40 each, each shareholder to have
the full benefit of reduced prices on
coal and any other merchandise
which the officers Of the company
may elect to handle. The company.
will begin business at Fl Dodge as
soon as the certificate is received
from the secretary of state, and ST.
600 of the capital stock is subscribe
ed This will mean 200 sharehold
ers. The company has the right to
increase It's capital stock beyond the
$4,000 mark at any meeting Of a
majority Of the stockholders called
for that purpose. The original idea
OF the incorporators is that 500
shareholders will take in most of the
laboring men Of Ft. Dodge who care
to become members.

Farmer Need Help.

While 1t is generally conceded
that the oats crop for this season
will be the best for several years,
1t is feared that farmers in this vi
entity will suffer more or less loss
owing to lack. Of help. Oats are near
ly all ripe. but the hired men who
formerly spent the summer In this
vicinity have left for the west, or
north, where work is generally plen-
tiful during the fall. This leaves
the Iowa farmer short of help and
he is compelled to do his work alone
