There is no animal known that will

Review of the Past Week by Di'
rector of Weather Bureau.

Des Moines, Aug. 25. - The high
temperatures and hot winds that pre-
vailed at the close Of last week con
tinued during the first two days OF
this week The remainder of the
week was slightly cooler, with more
or less cloudiness and local showers
on two or three days in a few local.
ties. The week was, however, hot
and generally dry, the average tenn
perature being about 3 degrees above
the normal. The rainfall was nil or
light except over the east central dis
trict and in portions of Madison, I'm
ion, Adams and Decatur counties
where the amounts exceeded an inch
The hot winds were very damaging
to corn, and on nigh and sandy land
the crop is badly fired. However
with normal weather during the next
three weeks the northern half of the
state will produce more per acre than
the state average of past years. In
the southern counties the crop will
be much below the average, yet IN
some localities, where timely showers
occurred, the yield will exceed thirty
bushels per acre. The dry, hot wealth
er was also damaging to potatoes, pas
lures, apples and garden truck.

AND zETTA MILLER
DROWN IN RIVER
TRAGEDY OCCURS SHORT DIS.
TANcE ABOVE THE PARK.
THE BODIES ARE RECOVERED
Young People Came From New Shar.
on and Were Members Of Picnic
Party. But Were Alone in the
Boat at the Time.

L. f. Patterson, of Seattle, Wash,
and Miss Zetta Miller, of New Sharon,
were drowned late last night in Skunk
river a short distance above River
side Park, four miles north of Oska-
loosa, while out boating. The bodies
were recovered early this morning.
The young man was Is years of age
and son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. e. Pat
terson, of New Sharon. while the girl
was 20 years old and a daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. David Miller. Patterson
has been residing in Washington state
for some time past, but was at home
this summer for visit. He and Miss
Miller were cousins. .
The young people in company with
two other couples, went out to the
park last evening for a picnic. Late
in the evening they rented boats and
went up the river for ride. TWO
of the couples returned after time,
but Mr.. Patterson and Miss Miller
failed to show up. Their continued
absence finally alarmed their com.
panions and Pearl Minor, manager OF
the park, was appealed to. He took a
boat and went up the river to look for
the missing couple. A short distance
above the park he found the empty
boat overturned in the water. A
searching party was soon organized
and a search instituted for the bodies.
The body of the girl was recovered
about seven o'clock this morning and
the young man was taken from the
water an hour later.
No one will ever know just exactly
how the drowning occurred, but it is
presumed that the boat overturned
and the young people we're unable to
swim out. Patterson was noted for
being an excellent swimmer. Rela'
| tiYes were at the river when the bod
les were found and Immediately re-
moved them to their homes at New
Sharon.
Miss Miller was well known in Os'
kaloosa. She was employed here last
winter as book-keeper and stenog
rapher for the Holt Motor Bus Co,
and had many friends in the city
The other members of the party were
Chris Haber, Hazel Bryan. Ed Nit
IChelltree and Hazel Dunshee, all New
Sharon young people.
Coroner f. M. Cheesman was mott
fed of the drowning early this morn
ing and Immediately left for the river
with a searching party. He was ac
companied by Chief Stoler and sew
eral others. The body Of the young
man was fround and taken from the
river by Chris StOler, member of the
OskaloOsa fire department.

work being done by the county and
all were agreed with the exception of
Mr.. ,Laffoilette who thought this &C
ton In poor taste, in the face of the
previous motion to stop all grading
instantly. IL. re
Mr.. Penders moved to put down a
side walk for Mrs Robertson on the
west side OF north Ninth street, south
of C avenue, where she has erected a
new dwelling. She has no way Of get
ting in or out. All grading, II was
stated had been done and everything
was ready. Mrs. Robertson has been
trying all season to get the walk
down. The council refused to grant
the lady relief and would not permit
the walk to, go down as there was a
difference of opinion as to where 1t
should go.
A. C. Brady of north Market street,
represented property owners along
the west side of north Market street
north of College avenue telling why
they were entitled to a side walk and
asked that the Improvement be put
in. This piece of work had been up
before, refused by the council and
then a remonstrance was filed by
James Mattison of College avenue.
After hearing the statement of Mr..
Brady and Mr.. Martin, who was also
present, the council ordered the walk
put in.
Numerous other affairs of lesser
moment claimed attention and there
were other matters crying for the
ear Of the council but midnight was
at hand and adjournment to Thurs.
