DES MOINES, Juno 15. (Special.) Tho
Btato of Iowa has entered upon a new pol
icy with regard to the lake beds of the
lakes In northern counties. Tho executive
council today made out leases for a num
ber of lakes, tlvo of tho lakes being In
Wright and Hamilton counties. Two of
tho leases wero for HO each and the
others for $25 each. The rental Is merely
nominal, tho Intention being to havo the
lessees tako possession and force suits for
possession to test the right of tho state
to claim ownership of the lakes and lako
beds. The members of the council believe
that the state can take possession of the
lakes and establish ownership against those
who claim possession through riparian
rights.
Somo of theso lakes and lake beds are be
coming vnluuble. Somo years ago specula
tors took possession of them and pro
cecdod to drain some of the smaller lakes
and convert tho lako beds Into cornfields
Not all ot theso speculations have been
prontnble. The owners of land surround
lng the lakes havo claimed tltlo and have
brought on suits. The big swamp bed lu
eastern Hamilton county, which was among
the lakes leased today, known as Iowa
lake, was purchased about two years ago
by J. II. Mooro from tho parties who
bought It from Hamilton county, tho county
laying claim to It. Tho lako bed Is now
U6cd for nrnzlng, after It had been farmed
a few ycar3. Some trouble arose recently
over the possession nnd the conflicting par
ties agreed to leave It to tho courts.
Tho executive council today leased the
bed of Storm lako to tho city of Storm
Lake. This Is for the purposo of giving
tho city control of tho parking about the
lake between the present lake edgo and
tho meandered lines as shown on the sur
vcys. Thero hns been fear by the Storm
Lako pcoplo that the farm owners would
cultlvnto up to tho present water lino nnd
destroy tho parks. Now the city will con
trol. It will also be able to control the
outlet to tho lako and thus kcop tho
water In tho lako more nearly stationary.
Thero Is moro water In Storm lake, as well
as other lakes of Iowa, than beforo for
many years.
SucroMftftil Tnrjrct Practice.
Major Hume and others of the Iowa Na
tlonal guard returned today from Cedar
Rapids, where thoy had been In attend
anco the past weok at tho state Bhoot of
the mllltla companies and teams. Tho rlflo
practice was tho most successful ever had
by tho guard. Corporal Sauer of tho Rock
Island arsennl was proscnt and gave In
structlon In tho uso of tho Krag-Jorgensen
rifles and he complimented tho guard on
tho good scores mado, saying that they
would avcrago up well with those of ordi
nary practlco In the regular army. In tho
revolver practice, which was used one-half
day, tho scores made were better than last
year. Captain Smith of Webster City, as
slstant Instructor In small armu practlco
for tho Fifty-second regiment, mado tho
best (.core, 159. A new fcaturo not beforo
used at tho Iowa state range was firlnir at
disappearing targets. The state 'shoot Is
regarded by all as tho best over held.
Colfax SprliiK" Abandoned.
The old depot at Colfax Springs, main
tained for nearly twenty years by the Rock
Island railroad, Is being torn down, and
tho station will not again bo regularly used.
u was used only during the summer season.
The Inclined elevator is also being taken
down. Tho property has been leased to
prlvato parties and can only bo reached
now uy stopping at the town of Colfax.
Poisoned hy EntliiK Butter.
Mrs. Frank Priestley, with her llttlo
daughter, of Wobster City, camo near dying
from the effects of poison taken Into tholr
siomacns wniio eating butter. It was a
peculiar case nnd cannot bo easily ex
plained. On going to work In tho morn
ing tho husband ordered Borne butter, which
was delivered. At 10 o'clock tho mother
gavo tno cnild a pleco of bread anrenrt
with tho butter and sho ate somo of t
uuracu. soon attcr both became violently
111 and a doctor was called. He nmnnimH
It poisoning by arsenic. Ho saved both of
mem, Dut with somo difficulty. How the
poison got Into tho butter or the bread Is a
mystery.
Out Crop In Poor.
The grain dealers In Des Moines have
reports from many parts of tho stato which
Indicate that tho oats crop in lown this
year will be poorer than for soveral years.
Tho early promises of tho crop bureau
have not been fulfilled, for the extreme
hot weather coming on nftor a period of
cold and wot weather has caused trouble.
Last year tho oats crop of Iowa amounted
to 130,000.000 bushels. Grain men estimate
that It will bo not over 75,000,000 bushels
this year. Tho acreage Is less than usual.
Higher prices aro anticipated. The corn
crop Is in bettor condition.
New County Convention.
Tho weok Just closed has not been pro
Hfic In county conventions. But four were
held. Greeno nnd Pocahontas counties held
conventions nnd Instructed for Cummins for
governor and as the result of tho Cum
mins strength In Greene, Judge Church of
that county withdrew from the race for
supremo Judge. The Palo Alto delegates
aro unlnstructed, but opposod to Cummins.
Tho Cherokee county convention was held
after Cummins and Harrlnian hnd mado an
agreement for a division of tho delegation.
Thero will be but thrco or four republican
county conventions next week nnd Ihoao
