It says: "Rush Park and the kite track, once the pride of our people, presents a forlorn ap pearance. With the departure of the Druien horses last week the last barn and stall was emptied of its equine oc cupants, and a sense of solitude as op pressive as that which inspired the lament of DeFoe's hero greets the chance visitor whom curiosity may prompt to pass the portalB beneath whose overhanging arch has resounded, the Impatient tread of Interested thous ands. A luxuriant weed growth im prudently disputes the right-of-way with those who would once more circle the famous kite, and a mournful def lation everywhere pervades the scene." The Republican Caucus. The Delaware township republican caucus waB held last Friday evening in the Court House. The interest in the proceedings was manifest by the large crowd present which filled the court room to its utmoBt capacity. M. F. Le Roy acted as chairman and called the meeting to order. The first business was the choosing of a delegate at large to represent Delaware town Bbip in the county convention. Two delegates, L. J. Ga'.es and J. B, Ruther ford, aspired to this honor. D. 11. Young arose, and said In order that there Bhould be no misunderstanding, he wished to state that in case Mr. Gates was chosen he would cast hie vote for Mr. Baker for representative. W. 11. Norris said in addition to what Mr. Young had said that in case Mr. Ruth erford waB the choice of the caucus, he would cast his Vote for Mr. Dunham.

Seth Brown was chosen by acclam ation as a candidate for the office of ton nship trustee and Frank SiaB unanimously chosen township mitteeman for the enBuing year. was com- The caucus then adjourned and the caucuses of the various voting precincs of the township assembled in different parts of the building. Delaware township outside Manches ter, 2nd ward Manchester, and 3rd ward, Manchester, selected delegates to the county convention who would support the candidacy of G. A. Dun ham for representative. In the first ward honors were not bo easy. A spirited contest arose over the selection of delegates and the "bloody first" treated the onlookers to its proverbial scrap. The Baker and Dunham fac tions were about equally divided. The ward is entitled to six delegates and the caucus proceeded to present candi dates for selection in separate order. Two names were placed in nomination for the firet delegate, B. W. Jewel, who represented the Baker contingent and C. E. Smith, a supporter of Mr. Dun ham. The result of the count was 31 to 32 in favor of Mr. Jewel. In a like manner J. W. Barker was chosen in preference to A. A. Morse. At juncture the point was raised that there were parties supporting the Baker can didates who had no lawful right to a vote and in consequence of this the supporters of Mr. Dunham withdrew and Belected delegates to go before the county convention and ask to be seat ed as the regular delegates. The delegates chosen by the regular caucus were J. W. Barker, B. W. Jewel, Jesse Barker, W. A. Abbott, J. H. Barnes and A. King. The bolting caucus selected the fol lowing delegates C. E. Smith, A. Sef strom, Fred Durey, D. H. Finch, A. L. Beardslee and Geo. Dubois. At the convention held on the day following, the delegates chosen at the Young or Baker caucus were thrown overboard and those selected at the bolters or Dunham caucus were admit ted to seats in the convention with ail the rights and privileges of duly elected delegates. •^'7»«.rs.wfrr ROYAL dlBSeUITEiytouRE Stella Klaus Norva Burton Earl Tabor Alice Irmschor Mary Dunlap James Cavaoau^li Heury Kramer Wilbur Kilo Nelllo Toters Jeonle Wings C.

CLIMATE AND GROP flULLETIN Ofthe Iowa Weather and Orop Service for Week Ending Monday, July 31,1890. DES MOINES, IOWA, August 1, 189U. The temperature during the past week was variable, ranging from five degree* above to ten below the normal but be ing generally dry the weather condi tions were about all that could be de sired for rapid progress in haying and harvest operations. In the southern section the bulk of small grain is in shock or stack, and threshing is in pro as. In the northern and central sections the work of cutting grain is well advanced, and in extensive districts it is nearly completed. A few more days of good weather will be sufficient to Becure the late sown fields of spring wheat and oats in fine condition. Early reports of threshers show variable results, but the yield of oats is generally fair to good. The rainfall of the week was very light except in a few scattered localities, and many reports indicate that corn, potatoes and pastures are in need of more moisture but no material injury has been done, and the condition of corn has steadily improved throughout the month of July. With a moderate supply of moisture and seasonable temperature in the coming month the output of the corn crop is likely to be fairly satisfactory. It is a week to ten days late compared with last year, but with seasonable temperature in Septem ber there will be ample time to mature the crop. DELHI.
