DES MOINES, Aug. 1.—(8pecial)~The entire tax thus far assessed against the independent car lines doing business in fown, the assessment and taxation both being by the state executive council under A new law, amounts to less than $3,000. ‘While this is the total of the taxes claimed to be due the state under assessments thus far entered the fact is that some re- ports of companies are still coming in and the assessment can be etered up later, o8 there is no time limit thereon. At firgt the car companies refused to make reports or to make their business known, and it was only when they had become convinoced that éven though they refused they would still be assessed ahd taxed did they make reo- ports to the state officlals. These reports are not as satisfactory as had been hoped, but they form the basis for a first assess- ment and fixing of a tax levy on which the whole law may be tested if the com- panies ®0 desire. The independent car lines have heretofore escaped taxation en- tirely and have been doing business in Iowa for many years. Under the new law the council assesses them on the number of cars made use of on an average for the doing of business in Iowa. The rate of taxation was fixed at 3.82 per cent, and cn this basis the several companies that have thus far come up for taxation and given in reports have been assessed as follows: Anglo-American Refrigeérator Car line, $5.75; Swift Refrigerator Transportation company, $115.08; Armour car lines, $165.17; AUGUS'I‘ 12, 1903. town bigamist, who was married in this city July 16 to Miss Emma Mitohell of Clemens Grove, was bound over to the grand jury last night.

P. B. Stillman and G. 8, NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS Corn Needs Warm, ¥y Weather to Bring It to Fall Maturity, ‘Weekly bulletin of the Nebraska section of the climate and crop service of the weather bureau for the week ending August 10, 1903: The past week has been %tool, with light showers. The mean dally temperature has averaged 3 degroes below normal. The rainfall has generally been below normal; local showers have occurred, which in a few Instances gave a rainfall exceed- ing an inch, but generally the rainfall was iess than half an inch. Harvesting is about completed in norther: countles and threshing is just commencing. The heavy rains of last week, together ‘with the showers of this week, have caused stacking and threshing to progress rather slowly In eastern counties, but in western counties with lighter raintail the progress has -been rapld. Barley 1s ylelding well. The yleld of rye and spring wheat continue disappointing. Oats also are ylelding rather less than expected, but are a fair to good crop in most districts. Fraying is general, with an excellent crop. Bugar beets are growing well. Corn has grown well, but theytémperature has been too low for very rapld growth; early corn is earing well; late corn generally is tasseling and silking, while some very late flelds have not tasseled yet. The acreage of late corn is large, and corn now needs warm, sunny weather. Fall plowing has begun in many | localities, with sofl in excellent condition. | Towa Crop Condition. H ‘Weekly bulletin of the Iowa section of the climate and crop service of the weather bureau for the week ending August 10, 1903: The temperature of the last week was | nearly normal, but the nights were unsea- sonably cool. The rainfall was ample in all sections, and some heavy and damaging local storms occurred in the north central and northeast districts. In the larger part of the state conditions were favorable for field work four or five days during the week. Falr progress has | n made in threshing and stacking small grain. Reports as to yleld of wheat and oats are generally unsatisfactory, both as to the welght and measure of the output. The condition of the grain, however, is very much better than the average of last year. The corn crop has made as much growth as was possible under abnormal conditions, the soll being generally wet and cold and the temperature of the air unseasonably in- termittent. Some portion of the early planted corn on dry and warm land has reached the roasting stage, while the bulk of the crop is straggling in the rear, and much of it unpromising. There is great need of a long period of warm, dry, ripen- ing weather to make a go-d yleld aven of the most advanced portion of the crop. The hay crop bids fair to break recent records as to bulk and quality, The pastures are fine, and the meadows are bearing a heavy burden of aftermath. The minor fleld crops and apples are doing fairly well. Weather Bureau Bulletin. WASHINGTON, Aug. iL—The Weather bureau weekly crop bulletin says: Corn is making favorable progress in the central and western portlon of the corn beit, but in the upper Ohlo and middle At- lantic states the outlook is less promising, ‘While the improvement has been generally decided in the states of the Missourf and Mississipp! valleys, in the more northerly portions of these states the crop is in need of warmth. Rains have checked somewhat the prog- ress of the spring wheat harvest, which, however, is now general throughout the, spring wheat region. Harvest is advancing rapidly in Ore[on‘ and will soon begin in Washington, { Oat harvest is nearly finished, except in New York, where it has just begun. The reports generally indicate that flelds are Turrill are the Incorporators. The Shelby Independent Telephone com- pany gave notice of Increase of capital stock from $10,000 to $50,000. May Camp in Maseatine, The camp of the Fifty-fourth regiment, Towa National Guard, will likely be held in Muscatine, as that city desires the camp, and Burlington Is also asking for it.

The Fifty- third goes into camp on Thursday of this week at Cedar Falls and will remain there one week. The Rock Island raliroad has filed with the county officials in Madison county a reliuquishment of its claims on the special tax voted in ald of the Cherry raflroad proposition. After the company bought off Mr. Cherry the taxes could not be col- lected withont construction of the line and @s the survey has already been abandoned, the relinquishment was filed.
