Although Ova months ahead of the No vember election, candidates for the several county offices to be voted on this fall are coming to the front with announcements of their aspirations.

IOWA CROPS MAKING G000 PROGRESS Bnperlntendent Rothert and State OtTi. dale Confer Over Plans for the State School for the Denf. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, May 20. (Special.) The Iowa supreme court today decided another case involving right to property in East Omaba, overruling tbs decisions of Judge Walter I. Smith In the Pottawattamie court and holding contrary to the gen erally accepted version of what the United States supreme court was supposed to have held In- the Jeffries case. In this case, that of East Omaha Land Company against Jens Hanson, the controversy waa over the lmlt of government lot 2 in the cutoff district. Hanson occupies land on the old sandbar which formed in the main chan nel, and the company claims that Its lots run west scroes the sandbar, which Is In fact, so they claim, but an accretion to Its property. The Iowa supreme court holds that the sandbar or island was formed .long before the present contro versy arose and before the river made the cutoff In 1877, and therefore the land comprising the Island la not an accretion to the adjacent land within the horseshoe bend. It was claimed by the land com pany, and so held by Judge Smith, that the decision of the United States supreme court In the Jeffries case aettled this one, because It was held that all the land u accreted land. The Iowa court refuses to take this view of the matter, but holds th the United states court merely oe- : elded on the boundary line between the ! statea, leaving all other disputes to be settled later. It was also claimed that Hanson had agreed to abide by the de clMOn In the Jeffries case and was per mitted to remain on the land because of this agreement. The court finds no evi dence of any such an agreement, aad even It it existed it would not affect the title to the land. The decision of Judge Smith In favor of the land company is therefore reversed. - In another case decided today the court holds that an attorney cannot recover com pensation for prosecuting in a disbarment case, but must eerve without compensation when directed by the court to do so.

MOUNT PELEE THROWS OUT HOT CINDERS Letters from Martlnlejne Indicate that People Had Premonition of the Disaster Fonr or Five Days Before. PARIS May 20. Governor L'Huerre of Martinique has cabled to the colonial min ister, M. DeCrals, announcing that Mount Pelee continues to throw up Immense Quantities of cinders, which, owing to a change in tbe direction of tbe wind, are now covering the southern districts of the Island. - .v 1 Violent explosions have been heard at LeCarbetL The governor further declared there is no danger of aa outbreak on the part of tbe population of tbe northern dis tricts of the Island, as alleged, on account of tbe people being out of work. interesting information of the Mount Peine disaster is being obtained In letters which are coming hers from people In the Island of Martinique. One letter written during the afternoon of May S, 'says: "Tbe population of the mountain is flock ing to the city. Business is suspended, the inhabitants are pantc-atricken and the flre mea are sprinkling the streets and roofs, td settle the asbes, which are filling the ir." This and other letters seem to Indicate that evidences of the impending disaster were numerous five days before It occurred. It Is difficult to understand how It was that a general exodus of the population of St, Pierre did not take place before May 8. Escnrslon Was Planned. A St. . Pierre paper of May 8 announces that an excursion arranged for the next day to Mount Pelee had been postponed as tbe crater was inaccessible, adding that notice would bo issued when tbe excursion would take place.- Although Whltmonday Is a public hol iday the ministry of tbe colonies waa open as usual and all the officials were at their posts. , The advices received from . Martinique this morning indicate, that the local au thorities are no longer anxious regarding food 'and other supplies, which are now reaching Fort " De Franca in sufficient quantities to meet all demands until the arrival of the supply ships now on tbelr way to the Island. The correspondent of tbe Associated Press learns that the ministry of the colonies totally discredits the report of the de structions of St. Marie, Martinique, by firo, which has reached here, aa today's dis patches do not mention the fact, which they certainly would have done had tbe town been burned. , The latest royal subscription Is that of the former queen regent of Spain, who haa' given ten thousand trances for the fund, which now amounts to over 750,000 trances. .M. L'Huerre, the governor of Martinique, haa. sent tbe following cablegram to M. De Crais, the coloatal minister, dated Fort De France, 'May IS: ' I have Informed 'the nonulatlnn that sun- &lles by the I'plted states naval vessel 'lxle. and the 'steamers Fontabella and Madlna will arrive here today.
