Des Moines, Iowa.
High temperatures continued UNI
til Thursday night, and this, with eX-
cessive humidity, made the weather
conditions oppressive during the
first four days. The last three days
were clear, cool and pleasant. The
rainfall was unevenly distributed;
the larger amounts being recorded in
the southeastern counties; but it was
generally ample for the needs of all
growing crops and for fall blowing
and seeding, except in the southwest
ern district where the amounts were
small. Some of the local showers, in
the northern counties, on the night
of the 18th were accompanied by
heavy rain, high winds and severe
electrical storms which did consider
able damage to buildings and blew
have been of great benefit to late
corn, late potatoes and pastures, but
were insufficient in the southern part
of the state to have any effect on the
failing wells. Corn is making rapid
advancement toward maturity, and
some of the early planting will be
safe from harm by frost by the end
of the coming week. While corn has
been materially injured by the
drought, and especially in the south
ern districts, the state as whole
will produce a full average crop.
With normal weather during the re-
mainder of the season the average
yield will not be less than thirty-five
bushels per acre. If this estimate is
realized the state will produce about
33O,OOO,O0O bushels. Rapid progress
has been made in threshing, and this
work is nearly finished over the
southern half of the state. The av-
erage yields of grain, as given in
former bulletins, are being maintain
ed. Where the rainfall has been suf-
ficient, fall blowing and the prepara-
ton of the ground for fall seeding is
being pushed. Pastures have been
greatly benefited.

SCHMIDT CASE
TO JURY MONDAY
Both Sides Save a Day by
Foregoing Hypotheti-
cal Questions.
PRISONER SMILES
AT ONE ALIENIST
Experts for Prosecution Swear
Priest Is Sane and Merely
Shamming Insanity.

Both sides rested in the case 81 Hans
Schmidt at 7:l5 o'clock last night Judge
Foster then adjourned court until Monday
morning, and the case will be in the hands
Of the jury Monday afternoon.
The much-talked-of hypothetical ques-
tons which both sides had prepared with
such elaborateness were not put TO the
ahenists and thus an entire day was
vcd.
Yesterdays long session was taken up
by the four alienists for the prosecution.
All testified that the slayer OF Anne
Aumuller was sane and was scheming in
the electric chair.
Not even the skilful cross-eXamination
Of ex-Judge w. NJ *. Olcott could shake
any Of the alienists on this point. In re-
ply TO one of his questions one Of the
witnesses told Judge Olcott that he be
lieved Schmidt had fooled the four alien
lists for the defence. who testified he was
insane.
Both sides expressed confidence in the
outcome. Counsel for Schmidt looked to
an acquittal on the grounds of insanity.
WITH n ulSd ~ t'lhtllN 40 NV O''N f~''''f'
verdict. The prosecution looked forward
TO a verdict of murder in the first degree.
For the first time since the trial was
started three weeks ago, a little humor
was injected into the case. which has
been distinguished by repellant recitals OF
sordid abnormalitics.
When Dr. George n. Kirby was being
cross-examined he reused eX-Judge o.
colts ire by not answering him with
YES or no and insisting on lengthy re-
plies. When Or. Kirby was telling him
a bout the association test which he made
on Schmidt TO determine his alertness OF
mind and his mental condition the witness
provoked the Cross-eXaminer To shout:
III YOU don't answer me pretty soon III
put the association test TO you
When the next witness. Or. \. Ross
Diefendorf Of Middletown. Conn, was
testifying about one examination he made
of Schmidt he started another laugh.
Schmidt did not laugh, but smiled This
was the first smile seen on his face IN
court The laugh was caused by remark
Schmidt made 10 Or. Diefendorf when the
latter said that he was not the head OF
an insane asylum.
Then YOU are 10 be congratulated.
