tub caught in the very act of holding that
beer, but two men were also caught red-
handed drinking, and, according to the
morning paper, a glaaa half full of beer
was taken from the hand of on of the

After that raid the police Journeyed out
to the suburbs and captured another plant
of beer from which It was alleged the
hotel had secured Its supply.
Levi Munson, proprietor of the hotel, was
at the ball game when the raid, occurred

waa discovered, Inasmuch as he said the

sell It. though some of bis guests ordered
beer occasionally and that was none of hla
affaire. He aaya he will nsver plead guilty.

GORDON A. G. Finch received a new
thresher Friday. This Is the second new
thresher received here within the past few
weeks. The condition of crops now Indi
cates that the new machine wll be needed.
GORDON The general crop outlook Is
good. Oats will be a good crop. The later
sowing of wheat Is filling rapidly and
promises a yield considerably over tho
average expectations a month ago. The
atraw of both oata and wheat is short,
but the heads are long, large and well filled
with plump, bright kernels; however, In
the moat caaea the grain will be large
enough to admit cutting with a binder. The
later crops, such aa corn and potatoes,
ahow a promise of yield greatly in excess
of the past years. Potatoes are a never
falling crop in this section, .but. while the
acreage in smaller, the yield will be far
greater than that of the last year. Corn
ahows excellent promise of the heavleat
yield every recorded in thia part of the
atate. The dry weather retarded the early
growth and rain has come at the time most
needful to complete its development.

WAR BALLOON CiO IP TODAY
Llentenaat Haskell Will Judge Cos
iest of Airship from Captive.
Prospects of a storm had several ef
fects on the aviation meet yesterday,
not the least of which was the failure of
the Fort Omaha dirigible balloon, with
Lieutenant Haskell in the basket, to make
its appcarace, and for the captive signal
balloon to be sent up. Broiling upon the
field in his civilian clothes. Lieutenant
Haskell declared neither of the govern
ment air craft would attempt an ascension,
owing to the chance of a storm. springing
up.
The officer explained mat there was
too much statlos in the air, and further
defined hla meaning to the point that a
storm was brewing. The balloons could
go up and be put through their paces, he
said, but a storm would either explode
the bags or would render worthless the
hydrogen In them. This Would put them
out of commission for a week, as that
length of time would be required to re.
plenish the supply of hydrogen. It Is the
Intention of the signal corps officer to
keep the balloons up throughout the time
of the meet after they are once Inflated,
The balloons will be Inflated today If the
storm fails to materialize or will have
spent Itself during the night and morn
ing.
Lieutenant Haskell will make a flight
in the dirigible from Fort Omaha to the
field. The captive balloon and the corps
In charge are stationed on the field ready
for action. It Is intended that a Judge
will have his place In the basket of the
captive and decide the competitive points
of the aviators.

(From a Staff Correspondent)
DE8 MOINES, July 24.-vpectal.) While
It has been nearly six weeks since the stat
primary was held and more than three
weeks since the selection of all the dete
nte to the state conventlona, yet It has
been found Impossible to ecure any defi
nite suggestion a to what will be the out
come of the contest for the nomination for
state superintendent. This Is the only po-
itlon that was left tl the state convention.
The convention has, under the Ktw, the
uty of selecting the two candidates for
upreme Judges, but Justices Deemer and
Evans will be rsnomlnated without any op
position. There were seven candidates for
state superintendent and the vote was
fairly evenly divided aa between them.
There Is no way that a factional alignment
oan dispose o fthe oontest There la no
clearly defined Issue as between the candi
dates. Borne effort was made during the
primary to ralae a few minor issues as be
tween the men, but there waa nothing to
It. The convention will have only to choos
a between men on the question of personal
fitness.
State Superintendent John F. Rlgg
makes a strong point In his own favor by
the showing that he received such a large
plurality. The vote was:

Air. wggs aiso snows mac in len counties
of the state he received a majority over
all In thirty-four other counties he received
a plurality, while in thirty-eight others he
received next to the highest vote.
It is anticipated that the first effort of
the convention will be to concentrate on
Adam Pickett of Union county, who haa
perhaps a stronger political following than
any of the candidates; then an effort will
be made to awing the convention to A 11.
Deyoe of Hancock county, who Is located
geographically to his own great advantage
If this fails, then the convention will prob
ably select Prof. Riggs for a fourth time.
In case of a deadlock lasting for a dosen
or more ballots, a dark horse candidate
will be advanced.
Two-Year Cearae In Asrrleultnr
The Iowa State college will offer at the
opening of the college year In September a
two-year course in agriculture. Thl courts
will be specially adapted te the needs of
the farmer boy who has not had a high
school course and who wishes to prepare
for practical farm work.
The two-year course wilt be distinct from
the college work proper, and It will meet
the needs of a large number of young men
who wish to become successful farmer and
who are so situated that they are unable
to complete a high school course to meet
the regular entrance requirements. This
course will admirably supplement tne
farmers' short course work that has been
given at Ames and at various points In the
state In recent years. It promises to prove
popular at once, and it I In line with the
demand for secondary agricultural educa
tion In the public schools and In special
agricultural high schools.
State Tar. Collection.
During the year the collection of stete
tax for state purposes will be on the basis
of 12,300,000, which 4ms1b was fixed by the
legislature. ' It Is known that the tax levy
of 3.S mills will fall a little abort of rais
ing this amount, but It was regarded aa
essentia that a reduotlon be made In the
rate of the levy. The past year the state
tax collected amounted to $2,317,000, whioh
Is the largest sum In the history of th
state. The legislature, however, has been
making provision for a steady increase in
the amount collectable en fees and each
year has seen the fee collections materially
Increased. The next legislature will prob
ably still furl, r Increase fees, especially
corporation fees 4f various kinds, which
are now low. The insurance company fees
are the largest of all, but large sums are
obtained from pharmacists, hunters, nota
ries and others..
Means Reorganised Board.
The row In th State Board of Health
and Medloal Examiners over the Indorse
ment of the plan to change the system to
a salary basis instead of a per diem basis,
will likely end in a complete reorganisa
tion of the board under another system.
The plan advocated by B. L. Elker, a mem
ber of the board, and other strong and able
men Interested In health affairs, Is to abol
ish the present board entirely and to sub
stitute a small board of three persons to
have full charge of the health affairs of
the state. They would also take over the
matter of enforcement of the laws of the
state In regard to druggists, the pure medi
cine law, which is now a dead letter, and
the pure food laws of all kinds. It la rec
ognized that there is now too much divid
ed responsibility In these matters. ,
