At a meotiiiK of the library board the annual election of officers was held and reports were received. The warm weather of the past month has affected the attendance and patronage at the library as the patrons found it too hot to indulge in study and irksome to lead anything but the lightest litera- ture. Dr. W. S. AlcIIrlde, who has been president of the board since the library was turned over to the city and made a. public institution, declined to serve in that capacity further, because of poor health.

Fork?, knives and spoons were missing; as were also toothpick holder?, books and a few cthe' s>mall things that had been left about in handy places. It was not until then that Manager Hoffman came to the con elusion that It was not very profitable business feeding hungry soldiers. Others of the regiment, who were suf ferine more from thirst than hunger, and who were drinking the depot sa- loons dry, were not able to catch the train before it pulled out. Some wen; south on the regular passenger at 6:05 but others remained over night. The excursion train arrived in th* city on the Great Western an hour late, not getting in until 5:30. Hy the time it was taken up to the transfer and got on the Central's? line it was nearly <! o'clock Conductor Jackson took the speeia south, the train being pulled by lCngi. r.eer Summers, with engine No. SO.

The Company W boys and the Forty- ninth Iowa band arrived home on the regular Great Western passenger at 7 o'clock. The boys were in good spirits well tanned by the sun and looked as if the week in camp had produced benefi- cial repnIts. Most of the number were somewhat lighter in weight, the exer- cise, to which many were not accus- tomed, having brought them down'a bit Capt. Brown, who nlmself is e'even; pounds lighter than when he left h'loe a; week ago. in speaking of the camp, said: that he was extremely proud of his com- pany and the manner in which the ; members had behaved during the week More or less rowdyism is always expect-' ed at military encampments, but Capt I Brown said thut Company 11 refrained ; from this in any form. "There wasn' one of our men under the Influence o liquor during the entire week, to ac- knowledge," he said, ''and I think j would have learned of it if they had' been. Neither was there one man who: missed a drill or who was disciplined In any way for any misdemeanor. I know | that is saying a gnod deal, and especial-1 ly when I say it myself, but r take nonr • of the credit. Our company this year was an extremely young one. probably, younger than any in camp, yet they were up with any of them, even with Company A, of Dubuque, which is con- j sidered the crack company of the regi- j ment. The good behavior of ihe boys on the train on the way to Dubuque was the source of much comment by the dif ferent officers of the various compa- nies." The greatest disadvantage In camp this year, according to the returning militiamen, was the dust. Dubuque hat not had rain for forty-two days prior t<. the beginning of the camp, and none j fell then until last Sunday. Since that time, or the remaining two days, camt life was quite pleasant. Owing to the extreme hot weather the ofllcers did no 1 work the men very hard and there wers but very few prostrations. WANTS OUT OF JAIL. Robert Mason Brings Suit in Habeas Corpus to Secure Release.

Remember Vj! corn, while ivme of the eat*Ty planted corn that developed rapidly, es- pecially that on the bottom lands, wil not fill properly. The bottom lands usu ally produce the best crop, but it seem; that hot and dry years are the reverse Farmers attribute this condition to tin fact that most of the bottom lands an ' underlaid wih gravel beds, which ab sorb the moisture in dry years. Potatoes have been revived and have taken on a new growth. This will pro- duce a fair crop. It is claimed by thost who ought to know, except In instance: where the foliage is burned beyond re- su.'icltation. Below are a few opinions gathered from farmers and farm owners: Fred Russie, of Vienna—There will b- as good a crop as in 1S90. Horace Nichols, of Marietta—Nearly an average crop. Allen Pemberton, of Marietta—A littli more than half a crop. T. P. Marsh, who U not a farmer, bu a clijse observer—Three-fourths of a cir,p. Anthony C. Daly, democratic politi- cian—Pay* there will be no corn. John Timmor.s. Marietta—Trie cor: most forward is in the worst conditio:*.

Hi Is Still under the doctor's care and no; likely to be able to be out for some tinu to come. D. Stallcop and wife left for Monte- zuma Tuesday for a week's visit with relatives there. Chris Louks has his new residence, northeast of town, nearly ready for oz cupancy and the question is being askec "who is the lucky woman he will chooss to take charge?" the terrible stuff than any other person thereabout. He was known as 'Devil Dick,' and it wiis a lit name for liim. He had a <-liiim named J>nn Sutton, who was almost as reckless as Dick, and I have seen him and Dick play catch many a lime with cans of glycerin they were un- loading, the dropping of one of which to the ground would have more than likely out of existence every person around the well. . "It got so that whenever Dick Warner had a load of nitroglycerin to unload at •xcept Dan Sut- and staid there until the stuff was out of their custody. Once 'Devil Dick' held a great can of nitroglycerin above his head and let a drunken driller mimed Patterson throw ten stones at it from a distance of 30 feet on a bet of .?1K) that he couldn't hit the can once out of the ten times. This was at Roan's camp, and the whole camp watched the insane proceeding from safe distances on the hill. One of the stones hit Dick on the arm, not two inches be- low the can, and knocked it out of his hand. lie caught the cau, though, before it reachcd the ground or the throwing match would have ended there and then, with the burial of such hits of Dick and tile driller as could be found, and they would have been exceedingly Jtiw* and small. The driller came close to the can several times during the trial, but failed to hit it, and Dick won his bet. "In those days the woods all through the oii regions were full of wild animals, and it wasn't an uncommon sight to see a bear or a Canada lynx or a catamount prowling round the camps or isolated oil villages. The lynx was frequently very aggressive and bold, and it was greatly feared by the drillers and others at the wells. More than once men had been attacked by lynxes, and James Oarker. a pumper, was so badly hurt in fighting off one that had jumped from n tree upon him r.s he was driving through a piece of woods that he died of his injuries. One day 'Devil I'lick' was on his way to a well with a I0;ul of nitroglycerin torpedoes, and he picked Dan Puttou up o:i the way. On a stretch of the road through what w.is known as Conway's woods Dan discovered a big Canada lynx steal- ing along through the branches of the trees at one side of the road and keeping even with the wagon, lie called Dick's attention to tho animal, and Dick said that it was watching for a chance to at- tack them, but declared that if it follow- ed them a< far as Clay's opening lie would get rid of the dangerous beast. "Clay's opening was a gap in the woods and a ravine 20 feet wide and as many deep. The lynx did follow the men us far as the opening, and Dick stopped his wagon. "The lynx crouched a few feet away from the edge of the nearest wall of the ravine, and before Sutton surmised how Pick intended to get rid of the animal Dick grabbed up a can of nitroglycerin and hurled it with all his strength at the lynx, which was not over -*0 feet away. The car. struck the soft body of the lynx square in one side ar.d knocked the ani- mal over on iti back. The tlesh and fur of the lynx did uot offer resistance to the can suflicient to cause concussion enough to explode it, but the can rolled on the ground and -lowly down a gradual de- cline that led from where the lynx lay to the edge of the ravine wall. "Sutton, with all his recklessness in handling nitroglycerin, stood aghast nt this deliberate risking of their lives by Dick, for he knew that the instant the can rolled into the ravine and struck the rocks below the terrible explosion that had been so luckily averted hy Dick's good aim at the lynx would follow. Qnicker than a flash he jumped from the wagon, tore like mail up the ravine and stood beneath the spot where the torpedo would tumble into the gully when it reached the edge. "A scraggy bush of some kind grew out of the top of the wall, and just as Sutton reached the spot the can of nitro- glycerin had rolled to the edge and struck against the main stem of the bush. The can had struck it a trifle out of the center, and the heavier end of the torpedo moved on an inch or two until it extended a lit- tle over the edge. "Sutton stood below with uprcached hands to catch the can if it fell, but there it bung against the bush, in a position that looked as if a breath of wind would ver into the ravine. A. 11 this had occupied but a few sec- onds. As soon as the torpedo lodged against the bush Sutton run back to the road, shouting to Dick to drive on so they could get to a safe distance before the falling of the can and its certain explo- sion on ttie rocks below. But when he got to the wagon he saw Dick with an- other torpedo raised, ready to hurl it aft- er the first one. He lowered it, though, and looked around at Sutton as if he was disappointed. The infernal wildcat's give me the i be done in that way. And I did not learn that the percentage of snicide or insanity was very seriously increased by these truly maddening inventions. — Frederic Harrison in Nineteenth Ontury. Tlie Irreverent One.
