CHOPPED OFF HIS HEAD.
THAT IS WHAT LORD BACON DID
TO WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.

Or at Any Rate DR.. Owen Finds Record
of Such Tragedy in the Cipher Part
of tho Bard of Avon's Playa Sensa-
ton in Literature.
DR.. o. W. Owen, of Detroit, is about to
startle the literary world by publishing a
cipher which proves to him that not only
was Shakespeare babbling actor who
could not write line, but that he was an
ignorant tool in the hands of Bacon, who
was compelled finally to murder him cut of
his head and bury it by itself at a certain
crossroads, because William tried to ex-
tort money from him upon threat that
he would expose the authorship of the
plays to the queen.
This SCATTERING of the shrine at which
Shakespearian students have worshiped
for two centuries may be considered sort
of literary earthquake. For four years,
day and night, DR.. Owen has been study
ing the Bacon cipher. He secured every
scrap of Baconian literature procurable,
until his library resembles the side of a
second hand book store. There are valua-
bic old documents from London, transla-
tons and originals Of Bacon's five great
works, and editions after editions of the
twenty-six plays and stories attributed to
his poor stool pigeon" as the doctor
styles the great English dramatist.
Hour after hour has Owen pored over
these pages, first getting a clew that there
was cipher, and then content to do moth
ing save delve and dig, bound, as he says,
that Bacon should not beat him and for

ways been more or less interested in farm
ing in this county. yesterday informed the
EAGLE man that he has recently covered q
portion of this county by team, and he
asserts In the most positive manner that
the present crop prospect in Sedgwick

never been excelled at this season OF the
year, of all the many years that he mas re-
sided in southern Kansas. There are to-
day in Sedgwick county miles of wheat
and corn by the thousands of acres. The
wheat harvest in this county will begin in
about ten days, and the yield will fully
realize the expectations of the friends of
this county. Mr.. Corwin speaks especially
of the oat crop, which ten days ago was in
poor condition, the late rains will make
this crop good one. Sedgwick county
will raise large crop Of fruit Corn all
over the county, while a trife late. is in

Raising Chickens on 3 Root

I once knew a man here in New York
who used to raise chickens on the top Of
his house. Everybody laughed at the idea
OF his being able to make it a success, but
l have bought eggs and chickens from him
many and many time, so | know that he
did. He built a railing Of slats all about
the edge of the roof so the chickens could
not fy over. He had plenty Of fresh earth
on the floor, and in one corner coop where
the roosts aud the nests were, and in an
other corner an awning was stretched for
shade.-NeS York World

Il IS curious fact that water pipes nm

explanation made for this interesting
phenomenon Is thai after q cold wave a

had and could procure The weather was
cloudy and damp, but no hail was en-
