would handle the investigation more

Exhume Bones Of INDIAN.

Iowa Falls, July 8.--Considerabl
speculation has grown out of the dis
|coyery Of a human skeleton In gray
ell pit in a. pasture north of Alden.
Judging from the bones and the man.
ner of burial the bones found are of
an Indian, buried there in an early
day. The skeleton was found in a
sitting position with the legs ex.
tended and the hands resting on the
knees. This position and the fact
that the body had been inferred in a
shallow grave lends to the opinion
that the remains are those OF an In
dian. No, other evidences have been
found In the neighborhood that, would
Indicate 1t had been a rendezvous for
Indians. but older residents OF the
section recall the fact that many
years ago Indians campsl on the hills
north Of Alden.

Job Will be Finished and Bettered
Early In Fall.

The Finish the Job" campaign for
the raising of $4,000 for the local
Y M. c.. A, has been deferred until
the early fall, or about September 1.
A group of business men who had ex-
pected to work on the proposition
today and tomorrow in an effort TO
raise the additional $4,000 necessary
to complete the work, evolved anoth-
er proposition. which includes even
better things for the local Associa-
ton. In order that the plans might
be considered further, and the de-
tails worked out, 1t was thought best
10 defer the completion OF the work
for two months. The Board of Direc-
tors OF the Y, M. G. A. will be called
together Wednesday and the propo-
sition outlined this morning will be
considered by them. The Finish the

81 DIVORCES GRANTED
Forty-five Given to Wife; Twelve
20 the Husband.

Fifty-seven divorces were granted
in Mahaska county by the district
court during the fiscal year beginning
July /, 1912. and ending June 30. 1913.
according to the annual report pre-
pared by County Clerk J. l., Milligan
for the use of the Department of vi
tai Statistics of the State Board of
Health. During the same time there
were 297 marriage licenses issued,
making approximately one divorce
for every five or six weddings.
Nearly four-fifths of the divorces
granted were given upon application
of the wife, there being 45 granted to
the wife and but IL to the husband
Almost half of the couples securing
freedom from the matrimonial state
through the divorce court had been
married less than five years, while
two of them had been welded but
nine months Five couples had been
united more than twenty years.
In thirteen instances the divorce
had been granted by the court but
the decree has never been filed at the
clerks office and the parties are not
yet legally divorced. In those cases
it is impossible to determine for what
reason the divorce was granted as
the record does not show. the cause
for divorce until the decree is filed.
The principal cause for which divorce
was granted In the remaining forty
four was desertion. Fifteen were
granted for desertion. eleven for
cruel and inhuman treatment. nine
for habitual drunkenness, eight for
adultery, and one on account of an in
valid marriage. .l....r

IOWA CROP SERVICE
Review of the Past Week by Di-
rector of Weather Bureau.
For week ending July s, 1913.

For week ending July g. 1913.
Des Moines, Iowa.-Another week
of hot weather, with local showers
over the larger part of the state, has
brought corn fully up to the average
for the season of the year. The fields
are clean; the plants are strong and
vigorous and of good color, and are
knee to waist high. The average
Temperature was about degrees
above the normal, but the rainfall
was deficient except in a few local.
ties in the northern counties, where
heavy local showers, accompanied by
high winds and some hail, occurred.
Over large area In the southern
part of the state there was no rain
fall. The weather as whole was ex-
ceptionally favorable for haying and
harvesting. Much clover hay was
put up in fine condition, and probably
half of the winter wheat and rye is
in shock In southern sections. Oats
and barley have improved during the
last ten days and are filling well, al.
though the oats straw is shorter than
usual. Pastures, potatoes and gar
dens continue in good condition, but
rain would be beneficial, and In some
localities is badly eeded. Hog ,chol-
era is again appearing in some OF the
western counties" >'
A summary of the July 1st crop re-
ports show the average condition Of
crops to be as follows: Corn, SO per
cent; oats. 81; sprin gwheat, 90; win
ter wheat, 81; barley. 81; rye, 81;
fax, 80; potatoes. "a; hay, 81; pas
lures, 101; apples rs; plums, 81;
grapes, 80. The acreage of corn is
practically the same as last year,
there being only slight increase. On
June LIST, corn was rated at 80 per
cent, and on July /, 1912, at SO per
cent.
