Regarding the announcement mado yes
terday morning in n Sioux City paper that
Captain Wllllnm E. Oantt of Company II.
Flfty-flrst regiment, had nnnounced him
self as a candidate for adjutant general
of tho Iowa Natlona guard, Adjutant Ocn

learned that Gantt Is a young man about
23 years of ago and who has had little
military experience. According to tho Sioux
City paper making the announcement, Gantt
Is said to havo the backing of Mr. Cum
mins. General Dyers characterized as mere
bosh the statement accredited to Gantt
that ho (Dyers) depended upon tho nomina
tion of Herrlott for governor for his re
appointment as adjutant general. General
Dyers Is a stanch Cummins man and says
Mr. Cummins did much to sccuro him his
nppolntmcnt from Governor Shaw, General
Dyers did not seem tho least perturbed
by the announcement of Captain Gantt's
candidacy.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
UES MOINES, Aug. 10. (Special.) Tho
copious rain of the past two days In Iowa
has been highly encouraging to tho farmers
of tho state and the prospect for fall pas
tures Is now excellent. Since tbo breaking
of tho prolonged drouth tho weather has
been ideal for recuperation and thore Is no
sign of anything to discourage tho people.
Today Director Sago of tho weather and
crop service mado tho following general
report on condition of crops for August 1,
being n review of the mouth of July and
tho summer to that date:
The condition of corn Is unusually vari
able In different sections of the state, as
shown by estimates ranging from twenty to
ninety per cent, and the final output of the
crop depends upou future contingencies as
to moisture and early or lato frosts; there
fore the average, estimate of condition for
tbo state nt large, made at this time, must
bo tnken with duo allowance for tho un
usual circumstances under which It has
been put forth, No man nt this tlmo Is
sulllclcntly well Informed ns to tho actual
condition of tho crop In nil parts of the
state to be able to formulate anything bet
ter than n guess relative to tho final out
put of merchantable corn. Estimates of
condition arc as follows: Corn, DS per cent;
spring wheat, 84 ; oats, 75; barley, 83; flux,
71; millet, 62; potatoes, 34; pastures, 45;
apples, 35; grapes, 70.
Tho larger number of these reports were
made by local correspondents during the
last days of July and before the beneficial
effects of tho copious showers wcro mado
evident. And the fact should be noted that
tho estimates arc mado by the larger num
ber of reporters on the basis of 40 bushels
of corn per ncro as tho normal crop, repre
senting 100 per cent. This would Indicate
nn average vlcld of 22 bushels per acre, as
tllg consensus of opinion of tho reporters;
or a total for tho state of about 190,000,000
bushels. In my Judgment the total will not
fnll short of that amount, but this estimate
Is subject to revision when we know more
nbout the matter.

was telegraphed for from this city nnd In
forty-flvo minutes It wns operating against
tho fire. Five blocks were burned. Many
of the buildings destroyed had been erected
slnre the lire two years ngo. Thirty-six
business firms wcro burned out. Among tho
buildings destroyed wcro tho postofllce,
depot, Mnsonlc temple, now hotel and opera
house. Doth newspaper ofllccs wcro burned.
While much of tho contents of the stores
was saved the loss will exceed 100,000.
Tho Insurance will fall far short of that
amount.
Affairs in South Omaha
Another attempt Is to bo made to open
N street to the river. This time there Is nn
entire change ot tactics. A local attorney
stated yesterday that he had prepared pa
pers which ho expects to file with the dis
trict court today asking that tho city bo
restrained from using the N street sewer.
It Is nlleged in tho petition that the
sewer, which empties Into n natural stream
nt Nineteenth nnd N streets, Is a nuisance.
To verify this samples of the sewage havo
been bottled and will be Introduced ns evi
dence. Tho bottles show that tho sewer Is
far from being a good one and that disease
Is liable to spread by allowing this sewngo
to run through portions of tho city to tho
river through n creek.
A number of damage suits are already
on flle In the district court citing tho city
to appear and show cause why this nuisance
should not bo abated and reimburse prop
erty owners for losses incurred by reason
ot their Inability to rent houses on account
of the open sewcr.
At least n dozen property owners have
combined In this light and employed one at
torney to push tho ensc. Tho Idea Is to
compel tho city to not only complcto tho
N fltrcct sewer to the river, hut to opeu the
street ns well.
Tho N street sower, which extends from
Twenty-fourth and N streets to Nlnetccenth
and N streets, wns constructed In 1S93, the
purpose being to combine n storm water
and sanitary sewer. A couple of years ago
there was a bad wnshout nt Twentieth anil
N streets nnd City Engineer Benl recom
mended that the sewer be extended to Nine
teenth street. This was douo nnd for n
tlmo there was no complaint, as tho over
flow from the Curo mineral springs purified
tho stream to a great extent. When tho
Jungmnnn school was completed sewer con
nections were made, and at the same time
connections with two or throe saloons on
Twcntloth street. In addition to theso con
nections several residents have secured per
mits to mako sanitary connections, nnd now
tho overflow from tho springs Is not large
enough to carry the sowago to the river.
Tho nttorney who Is attempting to force
tho city to extend this sewcr to tho rl r via
the Injunction routo said yesterday that It
would be useless to construct tho proposed
extension until the street Is graded. This
really Is the primary object of tho injunc
tion. Tlmo nfter tlmo attempts havo been
mnde to secure signatures of property own
ers for tho grading of N street from Twen
tieth street cast, but roropllcatlons have
always arisen. Somo of tho property Is
owned by persons In California, while other
tracts abutting arc In litigation. When
Jack Watklns was secretary of tho Com
mercial club he worked for several months
In an endeavor to clear up tho titles and
secure signatures po that the street could
be opened and a sewer built. County Com
missioner Hoctor also took a hand In the
deal, and for a time It looked as If ho
would bo successful, but the property was
at that time too much Involved and ho gave
It up as a had Job.
Only In consideration of tho grading of
the street and the construction of a sewir,
said tho attorney, will tho prosecution be
dropped.
The city has In a measure forestalled this
action by opening negotiations for the sale
of bonds to construct this sewer. President
Adklns of the city council stated some tlmo
ngo that he favored the voting of $10,000 In
bonds for the extension of tho sewer. Noth
ing, however, wns said nt tho time nlout
tho grading of tho street.
Engineers say that a fewer cannot be
successfully constructed until the street Is
graded. When tho grading Is completed It
will bo necessary to exenvnto for a newer,
but when such a sewer Is laid in tho man
ner outlined It will bo good for many years.
tOiipunlnK I'nyment nf Tnzrn.
Officials of tho city stntcd yesterday that
certain attorneys nro writing letters to tax
payers urging that certain taxes, most spe
cial, bo not paid. Tho reason given Is that
tho ordinances under which theso epeclnl
taxes wero levied aro not considered valid.
Even since W. C. Lambert has been In
chargo of tho legal department of the city
an especial effort has been made to pre
pare ordinances of this nature In such a
manner that tho courts could not And a
flaw. Tho passago of theso ordinances hns
also been looked after with care. It
tho intention of tho city legal department
to carry nil uch contested spcclnl tnx
