W. II. Fox, trainmaster of terminals of
the Illinois Central railroad at (his point,
was murderously assaulted last evening
about G:30 by Jim Hughes, u discharged
switchman, who stabbed him In the abdo
men with a knife. Thu assault was com
mitted on tho platform of the passenger
depot. Hughes effected his escape after
tho acsault' and up to a lato hour last night
hud evaded arrest. Mr. Vox wub removed
to St. Bernard's hospital, where his wound
was attended to. He was sleeping quietly
last n.lght under thu Influence of chloro
form and tho attending physicians are of
tho opinion that his Injuries will not ter
minate fatally unless unforeseen complica
tions Bet In. Meager particulars of the
assault wcra obtainable last night, ns Mr.
Fox was under tho influence or chloroform
and tho only witness, C. L. Contcs, n
freight conductor, was called out on his
run shortly after.
Hughes was formerly In the employ of
the Illinois Central In thlH city, but was
discharged eight months ago. It Is said
ho laid his dismissal to Trainmaster Ko.x
and cherished a grudge ngalust him ever
Bluce. After his discharge here Hughes
went to Kansas City, where ho worked
for the Santa Fc. Ho returned to Council
Bluffs nbout three days ago. Shortly after
ft o'clock last evening Hughes called nt
Trainmaster Fox's office In the passenger
dwpot and aBkcd for n "clearance" card.
Mr. Fox told 111 in that the card had been
sent for, but had not arrived. Hughes
then left tho office
Pox ICihh'Uk lllm Down.
At 5:24 Mr. Fox left his office and went
to tho platform to meet passenger train
No. C, After tho train had pulled out he
went toward the lower yard and encoun
tered Hughes, who had evidently been
waiting for him near Avcnuo B. What
passed between tho two is not known, but
it Is supposed that Hughes asked to bo
reinstated and on being refused made sonic
threats, as Fox knocked him down. Fox
then turned back toward the depot nnd
hud reached tho end of tho platform when
Hughes overtook him. Fox turned round
and as he did so Hughes lunged nt him with
a knife, striking him In the middle of thn
stomach. Hughes then ran south, followed
by Conductor Coates, who had witnessed
the assault. Reaching Second uvenuo
Hughes turned westward until hu reached
Sixteenth1 street, whero ho made for Uie
saloon at (ho corner of Broadway whoro
several of his companions were gathered,
Coates relinquished the pursuit when
Hughes entered tho saloon, as he Inferred
from tho manner of the men outsldo that
they would resent any nttempt on his part
to follow blm. Hughes secured a drluk
and. then left. The entlre.-pollca force was
put on his trail, but up to a lato hour
last night no traco had been secured of
him. ' '
Lrnvpn n Trail of Illood.
Aftor being stubbed Mr. Fox walkod Into
the waiting room where ho mot Day Dis
patcher Dlctrlck, to' whom he remarked
that ho believed "that man had got him."
With tho assistance of Dlctrlck ho managed
to reach his office on the second floor, a
trail of blood marking his progress. Phy
sicians wero at once summoned, who gavo
such temporary relief bb was posslblo at
tho tlmo and Mr. Fox was then removed
In .the umbulanco to St. Bernard's hospital.
Examination of tho wound showed that
the blado of the knlfo hud entered the full
length, making a cut ubout threo Inches
deep, but missing the outer walls of tho
abdomen. Had tho cut been a quarter of
an Inch deeper (he doctors bellcvo the
wound would have proved fatal. Mr. Fox Is
a largo man of strong physique and unless
complications sot In It Is expected ho will
soon recovor.
When tho nssault was' first reported to
tho pollco It was Btated that Al Kllgoro, a
well known switchman, had committed It
and he was nrrcated threo times within an
hour before tho police learned that Jim
Hughes was the man wanted. Had not this
mlstnko been made Chief Albro believes
that Hughes could have been captured
within a short time after tho nssault.

Taking ono consideration with another a
spotter's life Is not nltogother a happy
one. The motor company, like tho rail
roads, employs secret agents to watch and
check up the conductors on Its lines. Once
In a while tho conductors get wise and
catch on to the spotters and tho useful
ness of the discovered apotUrs In this sec
tion of tho country 1b a thing of the past.
One of tho motor company's spotters had
the mlnfortune to be spotted by souin of tho
conductors a few days ago and" his willing
ness to surrender tho reports which he had
prepared for tho company alone saved him
from a severe drubbing at tho hands of a
number of Indignant employes.
The spotter In question had been working
tho several lines of tho motor company as
slduoualy all day and by night had prepared
a lengthy report to submit to tho company.
Ho happened to turn Into an eating house
on Broadway which Is a resort of tho
motor company's employes to got a luto
lunch. Sovoral conductors after a hard
day's work dropped Into tho aamo place nnd
several of them quenched tho thirst that
results from a hot day with a number of
glasses of foaming lager beer.
Tho spotter thought ho saw tho oppor
tunity to augment his report and not know
ing that ho had been already recognized
drow out his notobook and entered In It tho
numbers of tho conductors who wero taking
a glass of beer while their suppers wero
being prepared.
Having entered tho numbers he placed
tho memorandum book back In his pocket
and tuined again his attention to tho food
boforo him. A whispered consultation was
held among tho employes of the motor
company and then they descended upon him
In a body. In language moro forcible than
polite they told him that they knew ho
was a spotter and submitted two proposi
tions to hlra, for him elthor to hand over his
report or else take a good drubbing which
they were ready to gtva him.
Seeing the men wero determined, tho
spotter, realizing that discretion was tho
best part of valor, at once turned over his
book containing his roport and hastily pay
ing for his supper sought safoty by night.
The men seek to Justify their action by
claiming that t,ho spotter had not adhered
to the truth In his reports and had listed
men without cause. Tho spotter filed a
complaint with tho motor company and sev
eral of the conductors were hauled upon
the carpet yesterday, but received nothing
wryse than a lecture.

(From a Staff Correspondent,)
DES MOINES, Aug. 1. (Special.) Owing
to tho drouth und consequent shortage In
crops the Stato Board of Control llnds Itself
up against a hard proposition. It Is that
of getting along during the next half year
on the allowances made for the Biipport of
the fourteen state Institutions uuder tho
control of the board. Thu heads of these
Institutions have been reporting their esti
mates for the next quarter. Tho estimates
show that u much larger amount of
produce and feed will have to be purchased
than usual or than contemplated by tho
board early In tho year. For Instance, the
estimates from Clarlndn show that about
7,000 bushels of potatoes will have to be
purchased for the use of the hospital, nnd
the estimates for tho penitentiary call for
purchasing about 4,000 bushels of potatoes.
Tho board will have to pay about U u
bushel for these. In former years tho In
stltutlon at Clarlnda has had potatoes to
sell and tho same Is generally truo of
other Institutions, Tho potato crop has
been Injured mora than any other In lown,
nnd this cntulls a largo t-xperoa on the
board. The most difficulty will bo found at
the stnto hospitals for tho Insane, where
thu allowance Is $12 u month for each In
mate, und 40 nor cent of this goes In sal
aries. All canned stuff will bo higher, as
the Jobbers refuse to make quotations ex
cept In small amounts. Tho coal estimates
call for 03,000 tons of coal and bids on
this will be opened August 25. Tho price
of Hour Is so uncertain that tho board has
laid aside the question of making contracts
on Hour for the next season until the
mlllcra find out what they can do. Tho
cstlmntcs call for U.300 barrels of flour.
Tho board will haye to exercise tho great
est economy to meet the Increased and un
lookcd for prices on produce for tho insti
tutions. Weather Iti-eonl for One Mouth.
Dr. Chapel, loial forecaster for tho Dcs
Motncs NVcuther Bureau, has completed the
record for July weather. In comparison
for the same month covering a period of
twenty-three years It Is found that no rec
ords are equal to those established for
July, 1!)01, either In lack of moisture or for
excessive hent. Officlully this month Is re
garded as phenomenal and In comparison
with other months It Is believed a grcnt
many years will elapse boforo Its equal Is
again experienced. Tho month of July for
the years 1S&6 and 1891 do not show the
maximum temperatures, the mean maxi
mums and so little average' rainfall. In
point of precipitation It Is found that no
month slnco the Weather Bureau was estab
lished ha3 so little rain fallen, during this
mouth.
Tho following figures allow for themselves
tho extraordinary conditions during tho
month of July, 1001;
Mean maxlmumi'cmpcruture-, 96.2; moan
minimum, '71.77 highest, 109 on July 22;
lowest, 59 on Jury' 8;' rnuge of temperaturo
for the month, 50 degrees; greatest dally
range, 35 on July 22;' least dally range, 11
on July 28.
Tho maximum nbovo 90 was found to
have continued during this month for a
period of twentyiflve days. Tho mean tem
perature above 77 continued over twenty
six days. Tho monthly menn temperaturo
for this month was 76 degrees, an excess
of 8 degrees ovor twenty-three yeurly
means. 'The accumulated excess of tem
perature since January 1, 1901, Is 503. Tho
meun temperature for July, 1901, was 4
degrees higher than for tho same month In
1886 and C degrees higher than In 1894.
Theso two years arc the years of drouth
and tho fact that July was so much In ex
cess In every point Is nothing short of re
markable. The total amount of rainfall for tho
month of July Is found to have been but
1.67 inches, compared to a mouthly avorage
covering a period of twenty-three yearB of
3.39 inches.

CROPS IN GREENE COUNTY
I'nriitrrn Around .lefTernon Will Hp In
Better Ktnnnolnl Condition
Thnn lit er.
JEFFERSON, la., Aug. l.-(Spcclal.)-
iue jinersoii ueo or today contains a de
tailed report covering crop conditions In
otery township In Greene county. DIbcush
Ing the Bltuntlon, which Is approximately
similar to mat tnrougnout the corn belt
tho lice says:
Orcene county will not have any corn to
sell this fall and winter, but It will have
plenty of fodder for all cattle, horses and
hogs within Its borders.
All corn was In a precarious condition
Saturday, but that night and Sunday
night tho heavens opened and the rnln
camo down nnd did good. The trouble I
that It did not como down uniformly. In
somo places It did not come down at al
uud therefore corn In theso suctions still
stands with crinkly leaves and withering
tassels. In these sections and In other por
lions of the county where the soil Is sandy
tho corn early planted nnd along
streams with tendency toward grnvely sub
soil there will be fow cars of corn to thu
row. But these nro exceptional cases and
there aro exceptions when wo have a full
crop.
However, tho majority t farmers will
make approximately as much money this
year us they did InsC, providing wc havo
favorable weather for tho maturing of crops
from this tlmo forward.
The Bco has boen to considerable palna
nnd acnowiedgcs tho courtesy of the able a
Blstunce of thu Jefferson Telephone compuny
nnd operators In this work, In ascertaining
ns nearly oh possible the exact crop con
ditions In Greene county this week. Thero
nro somo discouraging reports, but on tho
whole the situation Is much better than wc
had supposed beforo making Inquiries.
Sumtnarlcd, It may bo said, conscrva
tlvcly, that Orcene county will have a hnlf
crop of corn If weather during the next six
weeks Is anything like favorable. On tho
basis rf cash value, should we have a half
crop the farmer will have lost practically
nothing, as corn will undoubtedly bo worth
nearly twice as much as last year. Of
courso for feeding purposes there will bo a
loss, as a bushel of 25-cent corn will put
Just as mucn beef on a steer as a bushol of
50-cent crn. However, cattle, although
slightly lower at pa-sent, will be much
higher. Cattle are lower Just now bocauso
Kansas and Nebraska and Missouri farm
ers, with cornfields burned up beyond
hopo, are rushing their stock to market
und the effect Is, of course, to bear tho
market. However, this will not last long.
Tho Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri cnttla
Will be absorbed, or such portion of the
cattlo as farmers aro compelled to dlsposo
of, nnd then will como the reaction. Corn
being high cattle must bo correspondingly
high, so that the Grccno county farmer who
has cattle will bo able to secure a price
high enough later to compensato In n
large degree for the loss In bushels of
corn.
The oat crop Is fair; not tho besi we
ever produced, but quite satisfactory, and
tho quality Is good. The price of tho
grnln will bo higher and the net revonuo
from Its sale probably larger than In
ordinary years. . f
The hay crop Is exceptionally fine. The
quantity 1b not noticeably larger, but tho
quality Is magnificent. Tame hay Is par
tlcularly fine. Tho weather seems to havo
been JuBt exnetly right to leave tho hay in
such a state ub to produce tho best posslblo
results as to nutriment. That Is, a ton of
hay will put on moro flesh than It has been
known to for many years. The yield has
been ibundnnt and the weather such that
it s all stacked In good condition or In
barns. Tho price "of hay Is high and It
will be higher before spring. Not only that,
but with good rains from now until fall
there will be a second crop of hny upon
many fields.
Potatoes will be a very short crop nnd
tho qunllty poor. From present Indications
Greene county will not produco sufficient
potatoes for homo consumption, and tho
tubers will undoubtedly have to be shipped
in. However, these rains may materially
help tho potatoes. Wo will not cross that
bridge until wo got to It, unless thero nro
no potatoes In tho hill and the tops arc
dead.
With average weather there will bo no
lack of fodder for cattle this winter. Tho
yield of ears may bo dlmlnlshod, but tho
stand of stalks Is fine. Cornstalks roako
fine fodder when cut at the proper tlmo
and cornstalks will be cut and put whoro
thoy will do tho most good this fall.
