EVENT
Mr. and Mrs. John Devlin of MonU
Celebrate their Silver Jubilee.-
On Sunday, July 25, Mr. and Mrs.
John Devlin of Monti were happily re
minded that they had arrived at the
twenty-sixth mile stone of their mar
ried career, and tho event was well
brought home to them by a joyful sur
prise which had been prearranged by
their mauy frleuds.
At nine o'clock they assisted at an
anniversary Nuptial High Mass which
by special induit was said for them,
their beloved, pastor, Father O'Don
nell celebrating. The nuptial bless
ing whlc.li, standing on ttye altar
twenty six years before, was renewed
and prayers were offerd up that
God may continue to bless their un
ion by a long, prosperous and a vir
tuous life.
The church was beautifully decor
ated and the numerous candles which
adorned the edifice added much to
the solemnity of the occasion.
But not even yet did they know
all that was prepared for the event
ful day. When Mr. and Mrs. Devlin
returned to their pleasant country
home after the 11 o'clock Congrega
tional Mass at which they also as
sisted they found it transformed into
a veritable picnic resort where near
ly four hundred friends and relatives
with bounteous baskets and refresh
ments had asembled to join with the
happy couple and family in celebrat
ing their silver jubilee. Father
O'Donnell, who dined at the sumptu
ous repast after fitting words of con
gratulations, presented them in be
half of iill asse nli'i"l with an elabor
ate silver tea set and' three hand
some chairs, slight tokens of the
esteem with which the estimable cou
ple are regarded..
The-afternoon and evening wore
spent in delicate feastings, In pleas
ant recreations and In social chats.
When the time for departure urrlved
all bade the esteemed couple a hearty
good bye hoping that they would live
to see their 'Golden Jubilee'. That
"Jack's" receptive character respond
ed to the good wishes of all, and
that his genial wife appreciated the
same, go without mention. Rightful
ly Indeed do they merit our best
wishes.—A Guest.

SEEK HOMES IN MONTANA
J. A. Strickland, traveling Immigra
tion agent for the Chicago, Milwau
kee & St. Paul railway, Was at home
last week from Lavina, Montana,
where he had escorted a party of
liomeseekers through a portion of the
state in. which the railroad company
which he represents is interested.
"People are pleased and express
their satisfaction regarding farming
conditions near Lavina," said Mr.
Strickland while talking to a report
er. "The crops are looking fine. Rain
has been abundant and the rich and
fertile land 1s proving the statements
made by real estate men in regard
to opportunities to be realized In
Montana.
"The Milwaukee is running.- pas
senger and freight trains on perfect
schedules as far as Missoula, and
through service to the coast Is soon
to -be Inaugurated. The extension in
cludes 17 miles of bridges, one of
which cost a million dollars. Its sup
porting pillars are sunk 90 feet Into
the water, and reach 60 feet above
Its level. Tunnels are frequent, the
company having In mind a perfection
of route and an emllnatlon, as far as
possible, of heavy grades. Money
has not been spared In making the
overland line an exception to its
system throughout the middle west
ern states."
iMr. Strickland leaves this week for
Montana for another, trip., expecting
to remain several weeks.

RECEIVES NEW MAGAZINE.
The Midland Municipalities is the
name "of a publication edited by
Frank G. Pierce of Marshalltown, sec
retary of the League of Iowa Munici
palities, which is being received by
members of city councils which have
joined the league. Inquiries address
ed to the secretaries by mayors, city
clerks, aldermen or city attorneys are
answered either by Mr. Pierce or the
legal department. One matter of in
terest, arising from a recent enact
ment of the legislature regarding the
publication of proceedings of city
council meetings, has been given at
tention in a recent Issue of the mag
azine, and the secretary holds that
any council has the right to withhold
such proceeding entirely, or have it
published In one or more papers,
post a written synopsis of same
some public place.
TRADE HOLDS ITS OWN
Denlers- In fruits and vegetables
express themselves as enjoying a sat
isfactory business this season. Small
fruits are higher in price than a year
ago, and this fact prevents as large
sales as were enjoyed last season
The peaches being shipped- in from
the south and west are exceptionally
good, and cherries, raspberries and
other fruits are likewise well devel
oped. Trade is -^holding its own
against the extremely warm weather
which the state is experiencing at
present. Corn is doing wonders and
the hay crop will be enormous. The
farmers are busy and are attending
strictly to business. The streets
about town evidence that, ou account
of a scarcity of out-of-town visitors.
REMODELING THEATRE.
An unobstructed view of Jhe cur
tain is now afforded the patrons of
the electric theatre since the man
agement has built a raised platform
which gradually slopes toward the
front of the room, and upon which
the chairs will be placed. Messrs,
-McCormick & Thorpe have also add
ed electric light fixtures in the
theatre and intend to re-decorate the
exterior of the building. The latest
motion pictureg made are secured and
shown at the Idle Hour, and the
entertainment still affords much plea
sure to the patrons of the theatre,

WEATHER
SPEAKS TO
CROPS JULY
The following is a summary of
th% weather and condition of crops
during the month of July.
GENERAL, SUMMARY.
The average temperature for th.
month was only a fruition of a de
gree above the normal but the rainfal
was considerably-above the averajj
for Juno. Tiie first week was model
ateiy warm, there being a daily es
cess of abuut three degrees, but on
the 8th the temperature was liu'.eh
•lower and it remained below normal
until the lilth. jhe lowest tempera-:
ture ocured generally on the ISth but
no frost was reported from th.
northern stations as tiiere \was on
June 15. 1 DOS. From the 20th to th?
close of the month the temperature
was considerably above the norma!,
the maximum occurring at many sta
tions on the 30th.
There was an excess of rainfall in
all districts of the state but there
were a few comparatively small areas'
where a slight deficiency was report-'
ed, the most notable one being along
the .Mississippi river from Seott
county coutlnvard to Des Moines'
county. The heaviest rainfall was
over Union and Uie adjacent coun
ties where tho monthly amounts rang
ed from S.OO inches to over £00
inches. It was also heavy over the
Missouri divide and the extreme
northwestern county. Showers oc
curred at some station in the 3tatc
on every day of the month
the 10th. And yet there
were on an
average, 12 clear days. Thunder and
llghtniug accompanied most of the
showers but wind squalls and severe
hail storms were, not as frequent as
usual. The frequent and excessive
rains caused high water In all rivers
and creeks, especially In the western
districts. The flat and bottom lands!
wero flooded two or three times and
a large acreage of corn was finally
abandoned after being replanted once
or twice. The surplus moisture also
interfered with the cultivation cf
corn on ground not thoroughly drain-'
ed an:l amny lields are quite foul
With all the adverse conditions corn
on uplands and well drained fields,
and these comprise nearly !0 per
cent, of tho total corn acreage, has
made very satisfactory progress con
sidering its late start and much of
It is up to the standard for this sea
son of the year and the fields were
generally cle,.n. Where the fbkls
I'.avo not received proper cultivation
the corn is short and uneven and it
depends on future weather as to
whether or not it mattnes. The con
dition of small grain, grass, potatoes
and gardentruck has improved during
the month, but there lias been a de
cline in the condition of fruit.
ADAMS GOES TO SIOUX CITY.
Cecil L. Adams has resigned his po
sition as secretary to Capt. J. F.'
Merry, jicneial Immigration agent c.l'
