The berry yield this summer has been unusually good, but the apple crop in Jasper county, as well as the peach crop, will be light, the trees being tired from their great burdens last year. Other crops seem now to be coming on well excepting wheat, which is practically a failure. The hay is turning out an average crop and oato promise to be heavy, and corn, although put Jn a little late this year, is fast coming to the front. It is, however, susceptible to another aebhack if this cool spell is not broken up shortly. Potatoes are thought to hp the best raised here in several years and there seems to be prospects for a big crop throughout the country. As a result the price of potatoes has taken a wonderful drop in the Chicago markets in the past few days, as well as all vegetables whieh have swamped the commission men, and after awhile, it is hoped, tbe news will get out to the country dealers, who are generally slow finding out when prices drop.

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR HOSPITAL HERE.
Long-Felt Want of Commnnit) Hay'be Filled by Local Physician and Chicago Surgeon. A movement of no mean significance is now on foot to start an excellent and up-to-date hospital in Rensselaer. It may be said at the start that this is not an ahsolute certainty but the probabilities point very favorably toward this movement in view of the plans that have bepn thus ‘far developed and the negotiations that are pending. A good hospital here would fill a long-felt want, as the establishment of such has been the desire of the community in general for several years. Local physicians have talked on several occasions of starting' one here but as none seemed especially anxious to risk any money in the venture nothing has ever materialized. The last proposition of this kind to come before the public was talked of a year ago last May. Most all of the physicians in the city looked on it favorably and for some time it looked as though something might he done. As far as talk went- at that time public sentiment fayored municipal ownership of the hospital, which, for obvious reasons, would probably hever have been a success. This new movement, however, is a complete break-away from old lines, and is distinctly a private venture, private because one or two men are promoting it and developing plans on their own account and are going to finance it oht of their own pockets. The site they have in view is the new James T. Randle property south of the Presbyterion church. It was built purposefully for a hotel and rooming house, but With*a few alterations would make an ideal place for a hospital. It is a model of convenience and Is centrally situated. It has a hot water plant and if everything goes well the hospital will start with twelve beds. It is planned to equip this hospital thoroughly with surgical instruments and to leave nothing undone that might contribute to its success. A portion of the building will be set off and devoted to laboratory purposes. Nothing will be spared to .make this modern and convenient and a credit to the town in every respect Although under private management, the hospital will be open to all. Nobody will be barred. Any physician or person who desires may use the building and equipment, and may or may not require the services of those in charge. - A local doctor and a Chicago surgeon of much merit and wide experience, ar4 the men taking hold of this proposition and both are willing to invest their money in It These two men are now In communication with each other and it is not improbable that he will come, provided the hospital facilities are provided. If he i comes he will make Rensselaer his residence and take active management of the hospital. .It is anticipated, should they come to an agreement, that the hospital will be open for business about October Ist. By the latter part of August it will be made known positively what is to be done. In the meantime plans and arrangements will be under development. It is to be hoped that this project is carried out, as a great many people have expressed themselves wishing there was a hospital here. The majority of the people would rather stay here to be operated on, where they are among friends and relatives and the local and home surroundings are more pleasant and conductive to cheerfulness than those of a city. A hospital here at home would undoubtedly receive much outside patronage as many people of the surrounding counties would rather come here than go to Chicago if it were demonstrated that they could receive satisfactory treatment here. • »

Looks as Though the Purtelle Road Still Has Some Life.
It still looks as though the Purtelle electric road had some life even if he has retired froin the active management of it. iPercival Steele, a member of the Gould family, who has been tbe legal adviser of the road since its inception, has written the followingvletter to Dr. J. W. Merry, of Mt. Ayr, in reply to a letter from him: “J. W. Merry, Mt. Dear Sir: Your favor of the 11th inst. in reference to tbe Purtelle matter, duly received: In repty thereto, will state that the matter of building the" road, and the completion thereof is being pushed as rapidly as all «f the circumstances in connection therewith will permit. Some parties are in Indiana .today in connection with the matter, and it is hoped that active operations will commence for the construction of the road before the end of the month. Yours truly, Percival Steele. Chicago, 111., July 12, 1912.” Tt is known here that some railroad men were through here about the date of this letter, but they kept their own counsel, and they are probably the parties referred to by Mr. Pereival.
Prise Fight Pictures A Thing of the Past.
Prize fight moving pictures yesterday hecame„ a thing. a£4he~pa»t- in the United State when the house passed a senate bill prohibiting the transportation of such moving picture films between the various states and territories or from foreign countries. Heavy fines for violation of the proposed law are fixed by the bill. The president, said to be in complete sympathy with the legislation, is expected to affix his signature to the measure. Southern members of congress were especially interested in the j/ropoßed law because of the race feeling stirred up by the exhibition of the JeffrlesJohnson moving pictures in their section of the country.
Youth Rode Bumpers on Monon—Head is Crushed.

Bank Window Broken at Raub But Safe is Untouched.
While no effort was made to open the safe in tbe bank of Raub, some one visited the bank Thursday night and wrecked one of the front windows, using an axe to shatter the glass. There were-indications yesterday morning that some one had been in the bank, but none of the books or papers had been disturbed and there was nothing to indicate that an attempt had been made to open the safe, which conained about $2,000.
