Martins Life Romance.
REUNITED TO Hrs FAMILY AFTER MANY
YEARS OF ADVENTURE.

Eleven years ago Charles II. Martin and
Martha Spencer were married in this city.
After their modest wedding the young people
with their joint savings, bought a small farm
near Oberlin and became residents of Lorraine
County. where they lived for n year. Martin
was then attacked with the Western fever in
its most acute form. and selling his farm,
started for the Neosho Valley, Kan, which at
that time was widely advertised as the original
Garden of Eden from which Adam and Eve
were evicted. Mrs. Martin was left in Ohio,
intending to remain until her husband should
locate a farm and send for her.
Martin, when he struck the boundless West
caught the fever in dead earnest, and six
months was dry-docked at Usage City, q viii
lsge short distance south of Topeka, of
which the only metropolitan characteristic is
the name. When first prostrated, the unfor-
tunate man wrote for his wife, but the letter
never reached her, and shortly before his re-
covery he had the satisfaction of receiving
his oSn missive through the dead-letter de-
partment. He wrote again, but received no
response, and when able to travel started for
Ohio again with a lighter purse. He went to
Oberlin and found that his wife, after waiting
vainly for letter from her husband, had gone
to Chester to her aunts. To Chester Martin
proceeded ut once and there was informed
'"a' tie """' h"u ocSuPieu i"t III tue
village cemetery for four months, and that
Mrs. Martin had gone TO Cleveland. The
anxious husband came to this city and adver-
tised and searched, but In vain. Heartbroken
and discouraged, Martin again departed west
ward. He lost what little monev he had re-
naming, and roamed about for two years
aimlessly. The Black Hills excitement caught
him. and he was one of the first TO stake out
claim therein He located several in success
sion, selling them IN turn to newcomers, and
at the end of three years found himself worth
in the neighborhood of $4,000, which he in
vested in n stock ranch in Southern Kansas,

The Corn Smut.

The smut in Indian corn, so noticeable at
this season. is a fungus or minute plant of a
very low order, that feeds upon the juices of
the corn and finally makes itself conspicuou.
by the formation of a vast number of small
dust-like bodies in masses, upon the ears and
other parts of the corn plant This dark,
purple dust is the congregated spores or
seeds of the smut plant, and it is this which
carries the fungus through the
winter. 1t is difficult to deter
mine just how or where the minute
spores effect an entrance into the young grow
ing corn nevertheless it is important that
they should be destroyed. This can be best
done by picking off the smutted parts before
the corn is cut If this work is neglected,
care should be taken to separate all the smut
at the time of husking and burn it; other
wise the spores will germinate the following
year, and contine the pest. Corn smut is in
furious to animals, acting both as a poison
and mechanical irritant For THE reason the
smut should be kept from the feeding stalls.

NJ Estienne French Statistician of high
authority says in effect Never before in
the long time since these reports have
been collected has the harvest in the whole
Northern hemisphere been SO good all
around. We usually had to report de-
ficiency either in Europe or America.
This year there is absolutely none. The
world has over an average harvest in
addition to this a cablegram from London
says: Spain is the only country from
which the reports are unfavorable.
Therefore no material advance in bread
stuffs can be reasonably looked for, but it
will be year of abundant food at moder-
ate prices. and of general prosperity
among all classes in all countries.

The soil of the Red River Valley in
Dakota is, owing to the peculiar geologi-
cal formation of that region, of unsur-
passed and practically inexhaustible fer
tility. The vast prairies of the Red River
Valley are as destitute of stone as they
are of timber, and furrow may be drawn
for many miles without single obstruc-
ton to the plow. No fertilizers are need
ed, as the productiveness of the soil is re-
newed year after year by plowing little
deeper. Even the subsoil, when exposed
to the air and mixed with the surface soil.
produces luxuriant vegetation.
