A Discovery That Settles a Much
M00fed Question.

Does wheat turn to cheat, or is
the cheat sown with the wheat: has
long been an open question among
farmers and with agricultural socie-
ties all over the country. 1t has
been much discussed by scientists
and rewards have beeu offered for a
specimen containing both wheat and
"cheat." Last week Mr.. Mariner,
4 prominent farmer of Illinois,
found in his field a matured stalk of
wheat containing in its head perfect
ly formed kernels of wheat and
"cheat" and has notified the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington
of his find, and will lay claim TO tie
rewards offered for such spCc c'mcr.
The fact that there is so much cheat
this year has brought the question
up again, and it Is being discussed
with as much fervor as ever. This
discovery proves conclusively that
the "cheat" is not sown with the
wheat, but that the wheat itself
makes it. We suppose there are
many farmers who Will still refuse
to believe it, however, Vienna

AboQt ADVERTISING.

Does your business pay? Could
you not make it pay better by doing
some advertising in a judicious way?
Some business men are always on
the lookout for new customer and
contriving ways to please and meet
the wants of old ones. The best and
cheapest method to get new custom
ers is by advertising in an enterpris-
ing newspaper.
Advertising don't sell any mans
goods, it only lets the people, the
purchaser, know where to find them.
The newspaper that is read by the
most people is the one in which to
advertise.
There is great deal IN writing an
attractive advertisement. Do you
give your ads your best attention?
Ii you expect to do large busl-
ness on the fact that you know so
many people, you will get left. The
ones you don't know are greatly in
the majority. How are you TO reach
them in the most favorable manner
at the least expense? BY placing
an attractive advertisement in the
newspaper.
Instances have been cited where
large advertisers have gone under.
This was not the fault of the adver.
tIsing, but of the advertises. a man
can lose money specializing in ad-
vertising the same as in wheat. 1t
is in dealing with the article as
staple that results with sure returns.
The newspaper that takes adver-
tising to fill up with caunot prosper.
A newspaper that has its rates too
high cannot sell its space. There Is
normal rate, that is, rate which
the publisher can afford to accept
and make profit and which the ad-
vert;Ser can afford 10 pay and also
make a profit. The profit must be
mutual else one or the other will
quit. We aim TO have our rates
normal. "-Brookfeld Argus.

Special to the Gazette.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 4.-Some
days ago the Associated Press sent out a
dispatch from this city stating that Capt.
Thomas Phelan was in correspondence
with an agent of the government of
Guatemala tor the purpose of raising
men TO go to that country to aid IN the
war with San Salvador. The dispatch
stated that the captain wanted $50 900
placed to his credit in New
York bank when he would raise
5000 men. With considerable difficulty
an interview with the captain and while
he prefaced his remarks with the state
ment that there was nothing to tell yet
in the matter, he showed there was
something on foot. In the CONVERSE
tion he stated he was not at the
head of the movement, but that q major
of the Ninth Massachusetts was the
leader. He said that the statement that
he wanted $50. 900 placed in New York
hank was wholly untrue, as that would
not begin to pay the expenses of recruit
ing that number of men, let alone equip
them. Capt. Phelan is enthusiastic IN
the matter. He says that with 5000 well
armed Americans man could go to
Guatemala and conquer the whole coun-
try and proclaim himself dictator. He
thinks the Indians who do the fighting in
that country would not be able 10 stand
before the Americans in single battle.
and that the struggle would be almost
bloodless as far as the whites was con-
cerned. He refused to show upon what
