to Nforv Tfcrt ta fill flw.il· Will nenU Made tlM Clintoa Ku4 of Thl.ilK» ThU to (From Wednesday's Daily Leader.) This morning the signal flags of the United States Weather (Bureau were furnished the steamer City of Winona and in a few days that natty packet will be floating them from her masthead: The movement was set afloat by Forecaster (Hunt during his adminis- tration at -the local observatory. It remained for Observer Sherier to carry the matter into effect and finally the necessary flags have been provided by the department. The purpose of this can be readily understood. At the present time the farmers have no means of being advised daily as to the government forecast unless they are fortunate enough to be able to take a daily paper and live close enough to go to the postoffice daily for it As a rule, at the time that the farmer needs the service the most he is the -busiest and he does not like to spare the time to go to the office everv mornire. It has been the desire of tbe department to devise some means for this distribution of its information, and for a time It was though't that passenger trains might fly the signals to advantage.

Their rapid movements -however, together with the expense of floating the flags from the trains, rendered this impracticable and it was dropped. With 'boats it was different. Their movement is not so rapid and where the skipper is willing to take the trouble to float the flags and take care of them as is the case with Capt, Streckfus. the department is willing to furnish them and glad of the chance to do it. In this way the farmers along the river between here and Cliaton will be given the forecast for this vicinity daily.

The vessel will float them on its trip to Clinton and if there is any radical change indicated during the day it be telephoned to the boat and tbey will be given the advantage of the latest reports from the different bureaus which will Indicate a radical change here, Capt. Streckfus has also been provided with many cards npon which is printed the code of signals- One of these will le tacked each stopping place and many will be given out to people living along the river, so thai they will be enabled to understand them. Those who are not able to get them, but who live in sight of the river will probably be able to get them upon application at the weather fcu- reau station in this city. It is the desire of tbe department to equip the steamer Verne Swain in the same mannner and in this way they will given the signals four times a day. The trouble now lies in getting the forecast at the other end of the line in time for the departure of the boat.

Observer Sherier says that he thinks he will be able to arrange this in the near future, and as soon as he does ihat vessel will be provided with flags also. Just at this time of the year the signals will be of great advantage to the fanners. It is at the time of harvest and making hay that they need it the most, bat of coarse it is a nice thins at all times. No one realizes how much they depend upon this service until they lose once. An example of this occurred at the that the signal office was moved froni the Masonic temple to the aew postoffice building.

At that time the flags were removed also. The flagstaff on ihe government building was not so prominent as that on Masonic Temple and the protest against the removal was most pronounced. The beader took the matter up and with Observer Walz's kind co-operation it was soon arranged that the flags should be returned to Masonic Temple, Samuel G. Smyth, at that time custodian of die Baveapon Easiness Men's assocUvioa rooms, agreeing to tafce care of them and float them every day. Since this time each of the coslodiaas have doae the work without complaint aad tbe pepole of the city are satisfied.

It will doubtless be same way wkh steamer service. It may time for the farmers and resl- thc river to become ac- to UK signals, but when do Ihry win Dot want to do witovi them. A XOUXK FTRE. Move crwited to-day at the of Mrst. No.

AND BRIDGE RAILWAY AND TEBM1HAL. rillvd Kor Hccord and Contract For Line fUffncd in Duplicate. (From Wednesday's Daily Leader.) This morning the deeds were executed settling all matter of rights of way between Burlington, Cedar Rapids Northern Railway company and the Rock Island Bridge and Terminal companies and contracts were executed establishing the lines between the property of the two companies in accordance with the ordinances passed recently by the city council. This closes the deal between the two companies which has been pending for several months past and as a result the filling which is provided for in the ordinance will be commenced soon and matters will assume a different appearance in the lower end of the city. This morning there was a meeting the local representatives of these roads and deeds were executed and contracts signd.

In the transaction the Burlington, Cedar Rapids Northern railway company deeded to the Davenport Rock Island 'Bridge, Railway and Terminal company a certain tract of land seventy-five feet in width between Warren and "Mill streets and the Terminal company in turn deeded to the B. C. R. N. part of Maple Island.

The contract, which was executed in duplicate, was in regard to the line between the two companies along the levee recently established by ordinance by the city council. The deeds and. contracts were for the mguiual advantage of both companies and shows that both are in harmony for the best interests of the city and the development of its shipping interests. Representatives of both the B. R.

X. and the Terminal company assured a reporter of The Leader this morn- in that the matter of the filling provided for under the ordinance would he undertaken in the very near future, and would be carried out in accordance i with the provisions of the law. The filling there will he quite extensive. It is understood that the Terminal company will do a good deal of filling in the slough and that this will probably be done by the centrifugal pump dredge from the river though this is not a settled fact as yet ever that may be, it is known that the improvement contemplated will be a great improvement and that it will greatly add to the appearance and the desirability of that part of the city. It will be only a matter of time when the slough, which has been an eyesore, a stench and a sinkhole for so many years will be a.

thing of the past, and that instead we will have liigh and dry land there, Of all of this the people of the city will have reason to thank the railway companies. While they are truly working for their owji betterment tney could not do so without helping the city, and, indeed, it is this assistance to the city and its business advancement and growth of enterprises that they expect to reap their reward. "Were there to be no additional growth they could never Aspect to get money they are expending in the improvements out of them again. Davenport has shown on its part, a desire to avail itself of the advantages thus offered and the result cannot but redound to its future welfare and prosperity. GRAVEL HERE.

Jud9on Preston Shoots artd the Destroyer of His Home A terrible tragedy was enacted at the little town of Fredonia, nineteen miles west of this city on Sunday afternoon, says the Muscatine Journal one that will cause the inhabitants of that quei't neighbourhood do talk for years to come, Ordinarally there is not BO much as seven a ripple to mar the serenity of that very quiet little village, but yesterday's tragedy, all due to the infidelity of the wife and mother caused the death of one man and serious injuriews to a little -lad. It seems that Charles Bentley and Mrs. Judson Preston itad been a Htile too familar to please Mr.

Preston, who has a gocfd standing among his neighbors, and thalt the wife and Beatley had been off together somewhere, returning to the Preston home yesterday morning. Later, abouit 2 p. Preston came in ant! finding the alienator of his wife's affcctkms wiUh his wife, Preston said nothing but steeped into an adjoining room, returning in a moment a revolver, and witihout saying anything, deliberately aimed the weapon at Bentley, pulled the trigger and fired, the stoat misskig the object of his wrath -and striking his own sou, injuring him pretty seriously. He fired a second shot, hitting 'Bentley in the right arm below elbow, while a fcaird shot took effect in ftis falling beside ihe stove in -the kitcfaen a-nd as he fell, he said: "Put me on die and became unconscious, passing away last night. Bentley has bonre a bad reputation, antl a -telephone message to the Journal from Fredonia reports ttrat the sympathy of the pubiic seems to be with Mr, Preston, many regarding the act as justifiable, thait the poor lifctle boy should have 'to suffer by an accident of fcbis kind.

Mr. -Preston seemed dazed for the time being, for it is said that he stood ttere with revolver in hand, apparently no being conscious of the enormity of his crime. He was calm, and undisturbed, taking things v-ery cooly, even when Constable A. T. Lewis came over frtra Colombirs Junction and placed 'him under arrest.

As previously Seated Benitley died at 10 o'clock last night, his funeral taking ilace at 10 o'clock this mornnig. JAIL BREAKERS FROM. Fleming, the Highway Man is Sent to Nebraska -Prison. It will be remembered that on, March 20th last, Fleming and Curtis, two prisoners confined in the old Scott county jail, awaiting the action of the grand jury escaped by sawing off the bars of the window with tools passed into them by parties on the outside. They made good their escape and all efforts to locate them seewed fruitless.

Fleming it will be remembered, was the man who held and robbed Han? Mainsfield on east Front street on the night of March 16th, and Curtis was one of the men connected with the robbery of the Downs hotel It seems now however, that tlie two went from here directly west to Nebraska, and there got into trouble and the fact that the officials here heard nothing of them, was due to the other fact that they were in durance vile out there and are now doing time in the Nebraska penitentiary. At least Fleming is, and the supposition is that Curtis is the other man. When Sheriff McArthur was in attendance at the convention at Council Bluffs he met a sheriff from Nebraska. Mr. McArtlinr had the photos of Fleming in his pocket and the Nebraska officers identified it as one the men referred to above The two men entered and burglarized a jewelry store oat there soon after their escape from bere and were taught and sentenced to state's prison, one for 4 and the other for years.

Fleming received the 8 years sentence- Sheriff McArthur has as yet not received confirmation of the belief tiat other man is Curtis, but is expecting a picture of the two men at any time. It will be a source of relief to the local officials to kaw that these iwo are well taken care of- Cbartes G. retaraod froai OCTKajC aSHl OTOQfrnt in a a5ce b-ilcb of contracts watfc him. them wjn one lor the roofing of-clae jrcw addKwa the for old at aaober roofiaf of addition to tae afce of Mercy Des aad Mill aaotHer WAS for at Grand?

C. of Iowa Make a Very Showing This Seawa. The Iowa Crop bulletin has the following to say concerning the weather the past week and its effect on tbe growing crops: The past week averaged slightly cooler than usual- The rainfall variable and generally light; but in a few localities heavy showers occurred. At Thursman, Fremont county, tbe fall on the 6th and 7th amounted to 9.70 inches, causing heavy damage ots. the bottom lands.

The cooler weather was favorablet for small grain crops, checking thei tendency to rust; and the conditions; were generally favorable for work in the harvest fields. Haying is well advanced in all districts, with heavy yield generally secured in good Winter wheat and rye are mostly in shock, and threshing operations are about to begin. Spring wheat and oats are filling well and early sown fields are nearly ready for the harvest. Allowing for all damage by lodging ani rust, these crops are likely to bring about an average yield. The July report of -county and township correspondents has been tabulated, showing the following average condition of staple crops for the state: Winter wheat, 97 -per cent; spring what, 99; corn 102; cats, 98; rye, 97; barley, 100; millet, flax, 98; broom cron, 93; potatoes, 102; sweet potatoes, 97; sorghum, 99; meadows, 108; pastures, 105; apples, 79; pears, 71; plums, 70; peaches, 88; grapes, 9U.

One year ago the same Correspondents reported the average condition at much lower figures, as follows: wheat, 61 per corn, 76; oats, 87; flax, 88; millt 82; -potatoes. 92; sweet potatoes, 92; sorghum. S5; apples, S4; plums, 72; grapes, 80; timothy and clover, 89. ABOAttD THE JMACHIAS. Two Davenport (Boys Members of Moline Reserves on Gunboat.

The following letter has been received, telling of two Davenport patriotic boys experiences aboard one of Uncle Sam's gunboats: Key West, -July 3, 1898. We, Ed 'Powers and J. Ctiddy, of Davenport, are here as members of the Moline Naval Reserves. When 4:30 o'clock comes in the morning, the first thing one bears is-the bugle mas, then the boat swain will sing out: "Scrub and wash clothes." Say, you ought to see the boys oil their knees. It is a sight Then comes "Scrub the decks," then breakfast.

It is fine--hardtack and coffee. Some times we don't get hardtack and we only get four anyway. ter lunch, as we call it, comes quarters. Then we drill, thea dinner of meat and we are in port. Whea we go to sea salt horse takes the place of meat, and hardtack instead of -bread.

War is easy, and sailor life too, to talk about, but its different to come and live it. Yet live and learn, that is ship we are on is the best boat at sea. She has 18 guns, six 4- pounders, six pounders, and six little a til ing guns. We were on the receiving ship Lancaster first. Then we got on the Qfachias.

It was the first ship that hoisted the American colors on i. Hurrah for Ensign Willard. to convey troops down to Santiago. We expect to leave today. There is no yellow fever as yet, and everybody is well.

There are nearly 75 prizes in here. The Machias got them. She got more than any ship. The rainy season is here. We sleep on the top and you ought to see them get when it rains.

Yours truly. E. J. POWERS. J.
