In the event of the president enter- taining the invitation it was proposed to place a special motor at the disposal of the presidential party so that a rapid trip to and from Gouncil Bluffs could be made. Previous arrangements, however, prevent the possibility of President Roosevelt pay- ing Council Bluffs a visit at this time, as the following telegram received by Mr Hart last evening will show: WASHINGTON, D.

The personnel of the dem- ocratie state ticket has not attracted even the. enquiries of the curlous and the dem- ocratic state committee has mot taken the trouble to open headquarters or make a move toward having any state campalgn. The weekly democratic newspapers that | have been upholding the Kaneas City plat- |form are generally cither silent In regard |to the work of the state convention in turn- ing down free silver or they are muttering discontent and making half-veiled threats. |The only campalgn the democrats are capable of making at all is in the com- gressional districts and this campaign has | not progressed far enough yet to indicate what may be expected.

Corm Crob Through an Extensive Ter. ritory in Town, South Dakota and Minnesota Seriously Damaged, AI0UX CITY, Ia., Sept. 1%—(Special)~ Much damage has been done by frost to the corn crop in the reglon about this city. The last two nights the thermometer ranged from 26 to 30 degrecs over the country stretching from North Platte and Valentine, Neb., to Huron, 8. D., and cov- ering the five tiers of counties of northern Towa and thence to Moorhead, Minn. Heavy trosts fell over all northwestern Towa. In the valleys of northern lowa, unmatured corn is unquestionably killed. The cold wase not so severe in lowa as in South Da- kota, but to offset this fact, the corn in South Dakota was estimated to Be a week turther advanced than in northwestern Towa. Reports from more than a score of points show that the corn crop was damaged nearly 60 per cent last night. Some places report a loss of not more than 30 per cent, but most accounts indicate much more seri- cus damage. The damage seems to stop at a line about fity miles south of here. It is belleved that fully half of the corn erop in this vicinity is rendered unfit for husk- ing and much of it will be cut and shocked for feeding purposes. MUSCATINE, Ia., Sept. 13.—A heavy frost In the lowlands in this vicinity last night severely damaged all the crops ex- cept corn, which was not injured to any appreciable extent. CRESTON, Ia, Sept. 13.—(Spectal)— There were heavy frosts in Union county Thursday and Friday nights, but there was no material damage to crops save In the extreme low places.

CLINTON, Ta., Sept. 13.—(Special)—An old man of four score years and a buxom widow of 40, and a purse of $2,000, are’ the principal figures of a romance which has just culminated in this city. About two Yyears ago a well-to-do farmer with a fam- 1ly ot grown children, who resides in northern Indlana, arrived in answer to an ad of a “pretty and wealthy widow seeking a hueband.” The correspondence grew more interest- ing as the days passed and September § the prospective groom appeared here and, with his bride to be, went to the office of a notary, when an antenuptial contract was signed, by the terms of which the groom was to pay the bride, Susan Dobson, the sum of $1,000 then and another $1,000 on the day of their marriage. From here they went to Chicago, where Susan pro- posed that the happy would-be groom go after a license, however, asking for the other $1,000. The unsuspecting man read- ily granted the request and went for the license. When he returned the bride-elect had disappeared with the $2,000 and Wood has not heard of her since.
