st Peter Herald, June l.
While this office has not decided to
open up a matrimonial bureau it has

which follow in that line. A part of
the staff has enjoyed the delights of
being Ineligible to the councils OF the
N. E. Y. B. for il couple of years while
another part has been cropping along the
paths of solitude. AS procrastiilasiou

take up temporary residence at the

WHEAT A FAILURE
The People in Western Kansas In
Bad Way.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 3.-Reports from
the western third of Kansas are very
discouraging, and show the wheat crop
III that section to be total failure.
There will be very little wheat raised
west OF the center of the state, and
unless the conditions Immediately
change there will be no corn raised. In
many counties there has not been any
RAIN for more than a year. with the eX-
ception of light showers. The people of
that section are lily prepared 10 with
stand another crop failure. hundreds
of farmers are without means to buy
provisions to tide them over another
year, and the prospects of another fail.
ure will force many to leave the coun-
try. State Senator Wilcockson, of Logan
county. said today that the people of
that region would have to leave and
abandon the pralries for stock ranches
if the crops failed again this year. The
people have held on with the hope that
the climatic conditions would change.
but they can remain no longer, and will
be forced to leave before another cold
winter comes. Thousands of farmers
have lost all they possessed by remain
ing in Western Kansas waiting for
crop. Year after year they have seen
their corn and wheat Wlthtred by the
hot winds, while they have been COM
PEELED to dispose of all their surplus
stock to get money to buy bread and
seed. Througho it all that section a
large acreage of wheat was Sown last
fall. but there will not be enough har-
vest9d to teed the people of one county,

25 cents for the Wednesday and Satur-
day matinees-a good reserved seat on

cents. The advance sale indicates a

BIRD PROTECrIoN.

Secretary of Agriculture Morton will
not soon be forgotten by his fellow citi-
zens, particularly the farmers. Like
all positive men, he has advanced some
opinions that have not proven popular
in all quarters; yet there can hardly be
found thoughtful, practical men, among
the farmers or in other pursuits, who
greatly disagree with him. He was the
founder of A-bor day. many years ago,
when only private citizen, though an
editor and agricultural writer. The
adoption of this custom is monument
to the life and good will of him from
whom it never will be disassociated.
c. A. Babcock, superintendent of the
public schools at Oil City, Pa, has
called out from the secretary of agri.
culture characteristic letter upon bird
protection. Mr.. Babcock suggested as
means a general holiday to be known
as Bird day. Mr.. Morton cordially ap-
proves OF the idea. for the reason that
such movement cannot fail to promote
the development of healthy public
sentiment toward the native bros favor
able to their protection and increase.
MIR. Morton himself is not in favor of
the encouragement of the Importation
of foreign species, nor does he believe
that the American people will generally
desire that such thing be done. Tn
some portions of the country the EXPERT
ence with the imported English sparrow
will stand for an object lesson against
such an error.
Writing to Mr.. Babcock, Mr.. Morton
said: cit is a melancholy fact that
among the enemies of our birds two of
the most destructive and relentless are
our women and our boys. The love of
feather ornamentation so thoughtIessly
persisted in by thousands of women.
and the mania for collecting eggs and
killing birds so deeply rooted in our
boys, are legacies of barbarism inher-
tied from our savage ancestry. The
number of beautiful and useful birds

DEMOCRATS OBSERVE, TIE
LAW

On the principle that the better the
day the worse the deed the Pioneer
Press on yesterday agaln came tn the
support or its lawless Republican
bre,hreu who seek to capture the As
sembiy.
The GOODNESS with which the p. T.
complains because the Democrats pro-
pose to organize the Assembly tomorrnw
is refreS ing in the extreme. Like the
Dispatch, it regrets that the Democrats
do not go into court for rights which
have not yet been put in jeopardy.
The abSurdity and unreasonableness
of such a request is clear.
The Democrats simply deny that a
Republican city committee and the As
seinbly can properly and legally deter
termine the constitutionality of the city
charter.
AS the city charter stands the Demo-
Gratis have elected majority OF the new
Assembly. Not even Republicans dis
pute this proposition.
The present Republican Assembly.
having no more authority in the prem
iSes than town meeting or mob, de-
clare the charter unconstitutional and
void. and on that declaration announce
that the Republicans have elected a
majority of the Assembly.
Ile Democrats deny the right of the
Assembly to assume judicial powers. and
propose to proceed under the charter.
And because the Democrats do not go
into court to prove that the charter is
constitutional, the p. P. says they are
revolutionary.
AS no legal tribunal has pronounced
the charter unconstitutional.w why should
the Democrats go into court?
Ii any one disputes the constitution
ality of a law, he can invoke the courts
to his aid if he so desires.
But it happens the Democrats make
no such dispute. There will be but one
Assembly. and it will be duly organized
by the Democrats tomorrow. This. in
keeping with the charter.
Those who care to dispute the right
to do this can 20 into court and see
about it.
The Republican worry is because they
we're originally SO silly as to suppose
that the Democrats would accept their
Interpretation of the charter. They
now see that they have no ground to
stand on without legal decision.

JOHNSON ISLAND.
A Tip or Two Regarding It's His
tory.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 3.-Johnson's
island. the prize for which Hawaiian
advices intimate the provisional govern
ment and England are striving in an
ocean race between the steamer LII and
H. NJ. S. Champion, has been the SUBJ
ject of considerable discussion in the
past two years. The island was dis
covered in 1920 by II. NJ. 5. CORVALLIS,
and named after the captain of that
ship. 1t was examined in 1859 by Lieut..
Brooke, of the United States schooner
Fenimore Cooper. Ii is situated 1914
n, 1880 W. 1t is described as being
lagoon island, with reef of quadri!at-
eral form.
BALTIMORE. June 3.-Eictor Smith,
attorney, claims that should the Eng
lish cruiser reach johnson or NecSer
island first and raise the British flag,
trouble Is liable TO ensue. He says that
an i merican discovered the island or
reef i'll 1856; that question of owIer-
ship between Hawaii and the United
States was decided by the United States
supreme court in favor of the United
States. and that i: is now owned by Su
American phosphate company.

BULLET-PROOF COATS.
Maxim Doesn't Think Much of
Doves Invention.

LONDON, June 3.-Herr Dove. the in
ventor of the so-called bullet-proof
coat. has written letter to the Times
offering TO forfeit the purchase money
to any one vino buys his cuirass if it
contains either iron or steel. He de-
clares that his invention is for sale at a
price much under the 100000 men
toned in the newspapers. Mr.. Maxim.
whose "invention" of a bullet-proof
material was tested few days ago, has
written to tbs papers stating that his
first letter declaring that he could in
six hours invent bullet-proof material
superior to Herr DOVES was merely a
Joke. He still claims, however, that ne
has produced a lighter shield. which'is
just as effective as Doves. Mr.. Maxim
declares the whole subject of bullet
proof clothing is farce. Prepared
Steel he says. is the best substance in
the world for stopping bullets. He
adds that lie has sufficient evidence 10
convince him that Doves cuirass con-
taiuS hard plate.

awoke feeling of resentment against
the Irish people that has not yet been
overcome. While no one suspected that
the majority of the Irish approved the
crime, there was a conviction that dan
gerous men were too conspicuous in the
movement, and the natural reaction fol.
lowed.
AS already remarked there are proba-
bly, few grains of truth in Tynan's
story-just enough to create interest in
1t and sell the book. But its manifest
prejudice against and desire to injure
the leaders of the Parnellite party,
whom we have every reason to regard
as governed by the pureSt motives. give
US good reason to douDtits every state
ment. 1t will awaken a passing ex-
element and provoke many disputes,
but will eventually take its place among
the works Of tiction-and the most
pernlciouS fiction at that-where it be-
longs.

Tonight the William Morris comnan

Tonight the William Morris company
will inaugurate their summer season at
the Grand with "RosedaIe.
MIR. William Morris will be seen in
the part of Elliot Gray The compound
of jaunty comedy and elegant persi-
fage and suppressed heroism that is
reached in the character of Elliot
Gray goes to make it one of the best
leading roles in the range of modern
drama, and it is difficult to imagine a
better exponent for the part than Mr..
Morris, whose appearance and style
fit the part faultlessly. Mr.. Norris
should, and doubtless will add in this
impersonation another success to his
already brilliant career.
There has been considerable interest
evidenced from social poiut of view in
the opening of this company. Judging
from the number of society people who
have signalized their coming by the
purchase of seats, the curtain tonight
will rise on one OF the most representa-
tive audiences ever seen in this theater.

GREAT CROA, OUTLOOK.
Travelling Man Who Has Been in
Dakota Talks,

II have never seen better prospects
for good crops in South Dakota than
there is this year." said b. E. Stone, a
travelling man for a st. Paul firm, last
night. "The fact is that the reports
given in the daily papers are not always
reliable as to the condition Of the crops,
as reports are sometimes sent to lntiu-
ence the markets. No one is better
fitted to judge of the general condition
of the crops in his territory than the
commercial man, as it is his business to
watch closely what the farmers are
doing, as his success depends upon
their success or failure.
1.-The farmers in South Dakota are
not dependent this year nearly so much
on wheat as they have been in the past.
Only about IS per cent of the usual
acreage has been put IN Corn, barley
and flax are raised extensively, and all
look we'll. About the only thing 10 be
feared now is that a drouth may set in
later. bu; great many farmers have
faith in the lawmakers to help them
out in case rain is needed"
