''IOWA'S CORN BEST
in MIDDLE WEST

Des MOines. Oct. 3.-Dr. NJ. N. MeT-
rift of the Illinois agricultural expert
ment station at Galesburg, was a re.
cent visitor in Iowa. He was on tour
of the western states to ascertain the
extent of damage done to the corn in
Kansas, Nebraska. Iowa and Missouri
Speaking of conditions in Iowa, Dr.
Merritt said: Iowa will have far
better corn crop this year than Illinois
or Ohio, and that means that it will
have the heaviest acreage yield of any
state in the corn belt. Much of the
corn in the extreme southern part Of
Iowa will not yield more than 25 bush
els to the acre, but the recent heavy
rains in the northern portion. and es-
pecially in the northeast section Of the
state will produce a bumper crop, re-
CARELESS of whether or not there Is
more rain Iowa corn is made now"
81 note that some farmers are ship
ping hogs and cattle to market. In
my Judgment this Is great mistake.
In my opinion all farm produce will
bring higher prices this year and, with
the exception of few places In the ex.
IRENE southern portion Of the state,
do not think there need be the slight
est fear but that there will be plenty
Of pasture and sufficient feed to mark
ct fat stock such as the state is noted
for Some progressive farmers are
wisely planning to cut their corn on
high land where it appears to be firing
and will fill their silos.
Generally speaking. however, do
not believe that more than 5 per cent
of the crop will be damaged in the
northern part of the state. and, from
what have seen of general conditions
| feel sure that Iowa will produce at
least an IS per cent crop this year.

Martin Van Buren, was member OF
he Tammany organization,

Martin Van Buren, was q member Of
the Tammany organization.
In June, 1861, Grand Sachem, VIII
liam D. Kennedy, was placed In com
man6 of q regiment composed almost
wholly OF members OF Tammany hall
which regiment was raised and equip
ped by the Tammany society. This
regiment, the 42nd New York Infantry
took part In SO battles and engage
ments in the Civil war. In 1864 Tam
many presented General George b
McClellan's name at the Chicago CON.
vention as the presidential candidate
of the democratic party.
In 1870 Boss Tweed who had been
the ruler Of Tammany for sometime
was exposed. Through his manipula-
ton, the organization had put into OF.
feet gigantic schemes Of graft and
Tweed was imprisoned and died while
being sued by the city for six million
dollars, which 1t was claimed was only
a part OF what he had stolen from the
city.
Shortly after being imprisoned, he
escaped and succeeded In getting to
Spain but the Spanish government ar.
rested him and turned him over to the
United States authorities and he was
brought back and reincarcerated.
In 1872 the reform of the organixa-
ton was taken up by group or demo.
Gratis under the guidance of Samuel
]. Tilden, John Kelly became its
leader and it again became a factor
in city, state and national politics.
Kelly died in 1886 and a COMMITTEES
consisting Of Richard Croker, J. J.
Martin, H. ]. Grant and T. F. Gilroy,
was the directing power. This finally
resulted in Crocker being the absolute
leader. Under his direction practical.
ly all of the democratic organisations
in New York that were opposed to
Tammany were put out of existence,
and 1t was the sole organisation re-
preventative of democracy In New
York city. Croker resigned his lead
ership in 1892 and Lewis Nixon was
placed in command. Nixon's training
had been for the navy and his knowl.
edge of politics was purely a book
knowledge. He was not mt for the
leadership Of this practical" OUTFIT. Its
members believed In results, not In
theory. The organization then drifted

that he can be patient under stress

Stating that the visit proved q sat

ranged for before Mr.. Reed left for

Of this conference was, had not been
learned by Mr.. Reed at the time he
was seen relative to his trip.

WEST POINT. HAS
-. A BIG FIRE

West Point; Oct. 3. What for a time
threatened to be a very destruct We
IRE occurred last night when the black
smith shop belonging to Frank j.
.PogRe was totally destroyed by fire.
The fire originated in the oil house OF
,Theo. Lampe, This was small build-
ing some 20 or Is feet from the L'ampe
DRUG store but Joined the Pogge snop
on the north. This building was filed
with various oils, gasoline and nre
works. -ts ~ - ,5as $s,t5s Il
Just the exact origin of the fire may
not be known but it is supposed light
ed match had been dropped IN the
building. DR.. Dierker who has an once
in the Eampet drug store attempted to
exttnguish the fire when 1t was but
small blaze but It. srsead 50 rapioiy
and knowing the gasoline was close ne
was unable to check 1t. All efforts TO
save the Pogge building was, useless
from the first. the f1remen endeavored
to save the Lampe Drug Co, store ana
the Henry Pogge, ST., residence, Just q
few feet on the south OF the burning
building.
both of these buildings are frame
and with limited water supply. It IS
a miracle that they were saved. The
Iowa hotel and the Joseph Schroeder
house across the street were on hre
hut the prompt work of the firemen
soon extinguished the blaze. Had the
Lampe Drug store burned the entire
south side would doubtless have burn
ed as there is no water supply and
the most of the wells In town are
dry. Mr.. Lampe's loss is covered by
insurance. Mr. Pogge carried small
insurance but far from enough to COW
or the loss. 's =,
