DR.. johnson Gives Further Assurance of .
Great Corn Crop.

DR.. Johnson was seen again yester-
day about weather and corp conditions
and he said: The prospects for an i'm
mense harvest hereabouts never were
better in the world, and fortunately the
acreage Of corn is very large. That is
fortunate in two ways: First, because
ground that would have yielded only a
moderate wheat crop was plowed up
and put in corn which now promises a
large crop of high priced cereal: and
second, because we now have only a
very small acreage of wheat stubble TO
be heated by the rays of the sun on the
unshaded sandy soil and thereby cause
hot winds.
"Hot winds" said the doctor. "are
purely local and contrary to current be-
lief do not come from New Mexico or
Texas.
IF you want proof OF that here II IS:
Hot winds here blow from about 10 or
II a. m, at the very earliest, to sunset,
at the latest. The velocity is fifteen TO
twenty-five miles per hour. An average
uniform rate say of twenty miles per
hour. Surprising that a hot wind were
to start from Texas-even the nearest
point OF Texas-300 miles away, il
would be fifteen hours reaching here.
To arrive by noon it must have started
at 10 o'clock the night before. Now
everybody knows that hot wind does
not start at 10 p. m, neither does ii
blow for fifteen hours at a stretch. On
an average il blows about four hours.
So that we may be sure hot winds are
comparatively of local origin. and their
first effects are local. The first reports
Of injury to Kansas corn last year
were that 1t had been Somewhat spot
ted by hot winds One might almost
say that every county of sandy soil,
with any considerable proportion I'M
shaded, is responsible for its own hot
winds.
1.-The first hot wind here. last year,
was July %. There had been before

Yesterday DR.. 81. John received q
message from Augusta that F. Will
Jams OF this city was run over by a
Frisco train al that place and both
legs evered.
A reporter called at the home Of
the victims father F. O. Williams at
AL North Mosley avenue TO ascertain
the facts and the poor man had just
received a message saying that his
boy had died from his injuries.
II was a sad home. More than a
dozen OF the colored women OF the
neighborhood had gathered there to
soothe the family, but instead OF dry
ing the tears of the mother and sisters
they Joined in with them and when
the reporter left all Of them were crying
Mr.. Williams had just gone out 10
make arrangements TO have the body
brought home and hence no details
could be aScertained- The women at
the house said that Mr.. Williams had
no details 10 give as he had none him
self, nothing but the mere fact of the
death being stated in the message re-
ceived
The young man had been with rela-
tives at Parsons and was coming home.
Whether he was riding on a passenger
or on freight train is not known, but
as the accident occurred about noon 1t
is supposed that he was on the passen-
ger.
The remains will be brough: to this
city this morning for burial.
The deceased was about seventeen
years of age and was we'll known
1t is said that the body was horrt.
bly, mangled by the wheels of the cars
and that death resulted shortly after
the accident.

Then / go into court and swear that
I did not sell the goods, and my custo-
mer swears that he did not buy any
goods of me. Now it may be in case
of that kind that a conviction could not
be had.
But in a case where a man is known
to be an honest officer, I think his evil
dence ought to outweigh that OF a man
known to be a violator of the law.

man in the city who wanted the joints
closed to sign a petition to that effect.
This was a time for action instead Of
for talking. When he wanted TO go on
dress parade, he would follow McClel-
len, but when he wanted to fight, he
would follow Grant.
He closed in an eloquent appeal in
which he Supposed Abraham Lincoln
saying the law could not be enforced,
and referring to the voice of patriotism
and the cry Of the oppressed slave.

mingle with the cOlored people and at
tempt to secure some of the original
songs. This work is not new to him as
he has made a study of ii. Some time
ago while in Atlanta, Ga, he heard a
peculiar, wierd melody from the lips Of
an old colored aunty, so years of age.
Ii was singularly fascinating in time
and note and Mr.. Smith spent hours
with the old lady getting the tune,
which he transcribed and now has in
his possession. Later he will use il for
a theme and develop ii into some thing
more important than a mere song. He
said to reporter yesterday that he sat
and listened to the old colored lady sing
that song for hours. The tune. while
very pretty, consists of only eight
measures. To this the old aunty had
adjusted eighty stanZas Of her own
composition and she insisted on sing
ing them all to Mr.. Smith.
He has no doubt that the time Is I'M
adjusted eighty stanZaS of her own con-
known 10 the musical world and will at
tract attention when he puts il out. He
Also thinks that ne undisturbed dis
tricts of the south are full OF these
wierd native creations and that, being
colored man, he can mingle with the
people there and secure some of the
themes which are 50 much coveted by
the musicians in the east but which to
a large extent they have not been able
TO secure and preserve.

TO FREE BY MUSIC
WICHITA COMPOSER WILL WRITE A
PIECE FOR WALLER'S FREEDOM.
\. Clark Smith, the Colored Musician of
Wichita Has Novel Idea to Help Awake
the State Department on the Necessity
of Making the French Come to Time,
and Ambition Which is to Preserve the
Native Negro Melodies of the South
His Latest Waltz.

Working upon the theory that music
may have il select in diplomatic cir
Giles as we'll as speeches. n. Clark
Smith, the colored composer of Wich-
ita. is going to John Walters relief with
composition.
He is now at work on this creation.
and he means 10 give ii thorough
musical perfection, which supplement-
airy 10 lively theme will probably in
sure it great popularity. AS soon as
IL is finished copies OF it will be sent 10
the organizations over the country that
are trying TO effect John Walters re-
lease from the Chateua diff.
The colored people Of the whole coun-
try are greatly interested in Walters
case and anxious to cooperate in Sc
curing his freedom. If Mr.. Smith can
do his share he will be satisfied. All
that is necessary to secure Walters re-
lease is to stir up the state department
at Washington. An organization at To-
peka in Walters behalf has as yet ac
complished nothing in that line. The
National Afro-American Press associa-
ton has also taken steps towards Sc
curing his freedom but with little sue
cess. So it may remain with Mr..
Smith to reach Secretary Olney's ears
through a concord of sweet sounds.
n. Clark Smith is a unique man in his
way. He has written a number of
pretty melodies, waltzes and marches.
His Frederick Douglass march was
very successful and is now in IT'S third
edition. His latest skit is THE Peer
less Princess Waltz" which he COM
pleted yesterday. II is dedicated to IN.
NJ. Mudock and the citizens of Wich-
tia 1t is a very harmonious creation
with a simple but charming melody
running through II. and was pro-
nounced by several local authorities,
who gathered to hear il, to be superb.
However, ". Clark Smiths ambition
is not to write waltZes. II is a broader
aspiration than that. Mr.. Smith would
like to preserve the native negro har-
monies of the south. Dvorak, the Pole,
declares that for sweet, wierd music no
people can excel the negroes in their
creations in southern United States.
Many musicians have attempted to pre-
serve these native creations Of the
southern negro, but few have been able
to sift the more modern interpretations
from the original pieces. and have given
up the task. At the same time the old
negro songs are losing their original
forms and are being supplanted by
modern songs.
Mr.. Smith, along this line. has an
idea. He is going south some day to
