A CLEAN BUT DULL
 FARCE.COMEDY
Poor Playwriting and a Tame Star in "DelnOnicO's
 at Six"
Melodranna of Many Crimes at Moros. co's-Old Bills at the Other
 TheaterS.

''Delmonico's at Six" is the title of a comparatively clean and innocuous. but very foolish little farce which was played at the Columbia Theater last night, without either justfying it's exist ence or explaining the stellar ambitions of Miss Marie Jansen. The main idea in the farce is not bad A middle-aged physician tires of the trustfulness of his wife and the peacefulness of his freside and determines to relieve the monotony by making himself out to be a regular devil. This he accomplishes by means of a photograph with bogus inscription on it and a spurious compromising letter Unconsciously he is taking in vain the name and features of a celebrated vaude- vile actress. She learns of the plot and turns up at Delmoncos punctually on the hour of Gas per spurious letter. bent on Yindication and comic vengeance There is nothing electrically novel about the idea, but with a little of the sensa- tional invention that Is denied it by the author 1t might be made to serve for a half hour of harmless fun. In its pres ent shape "Delmonico's at Six is two acts of utter vacancy and one (the last) of belated and mlsdirected hustle. 4 star of ten times the candle power. of Miss Jansen might twinkle in 1t unseen.
 It seems almost inevitable that the comic opera favorltes of New York should take to the road and the center of the stage just so soon as their metropoli- tan vogue begins to wane. Marie Jansen cannot sing any better than many of the little girls at the Tivoli, who are glad to be alive on incomes of S15 a week: her acting is of the defunct comic opera school-mock-heroics and infantile drool She has rather pretty face and prettier legs. ] mention these latter not because I am an especially capable scrutator of such members, but because in their day they have stood for good deal of sensa- tional praise from the New York critics ard because they are strenuously insisted upon in this performance.

Row Over the Possession of District Enrolment
 Records.
BUT LITTLE BLOOD SHED.
Lively Times Are Expected at To- Morrovv's Election in the 18th
 Assembly District

The serenity that has thus far marked the proceedings of the Harney Democrats in preparing for district enrolment was marred last night by personal encoun- ter of the good old campaign variety.
 The scene of the encounter was the rooms of the campaign committee in the Baldwin Hotel, the principals being Larry Buckley and Patrick Hayes, both of the Twenty eighth Assembly District While no great amount of blood was shed the festivities were sufficiently live ly while they lasted to cause a stam- pede from the committee rooms to the corridors and lobby of the hotel
 The trouble was the direct outcome of a factional fight that is being waged In the district named. Hayes representing one side and Buckley the other. Both sides turned out in force last week and registered their names before the enroll ment committee. Everything went along in an orderly and proper manner until the rolls were closed Saturday night It was then that Buckley executed his grand coup. He took possession of the enroll ment and by so doing scored a signal vic date fixed for the election of twenty y-five delegates to serve on the general com mittee from each district. Only those whose names appear on the enrolment sheets will be permitted to vote, there fore 1t will be seen that Buckley'S pos session of the only existing list of en- rolled names Tn the IWenty-e1ghth Dis trict becomes at once a matter of very serious importance to the Hayes faction. Thus 1t was that when the leaders of the two factions met in the rooms of the campaign committee last night those among the initiated at once began to issue war bulletins.
 Hayes began hostilities by calling Buck ley a dog, a compliment that was returned in kind, with a few additional oral gar nishments too emphatic for publication. Hayes returned to the charge, and then Buckley, abandoning diplomacy, swung on his opponent and knocked him against plate-glaSS mirror. Hayes dashed out with his left and smote Buckley under the eye. After that it was give and take until some of the less timid ones, in the interest of harmony" separated the combatants and prevented further dam age to person and property. Buckley still retains possession of the enrolment sheet a fact that promises much for the inter- est attached to to-morOW's election in Senator Braunharts stronghold.
 Last nights meeting of the campaign committee was for the purpose of deter mining how the election officers in the various districts should be appointed It was agreed that the members of the cam paign committee should be authorized to appoint election officers.

Prof. w. NJ. Hays OF the Minnesota

says: No other field crop Is so SUBJ
1ect to local influences. University No.

has met with Indifferent success in
some adjacent ones. It has proven
we'll adapted to some soils, but In
some parts Of Renville county, for ex-
ample, It developed large stalks and
small m ears, and matured late. Thus
We are led to conclude that varieties Of
corn suited to each locality can best be
developed in that locality. Once q
KIND XII OF corn has proven superior in a
ne1ghborhood it should be further de-
Veloped by breeding. Every farmer
who has q superior variety should give
It name; establish a seed corn patch.
each year, and breed it for sale. Corn
can be so easily bred, such rapid i'm
provement can be made. and It is such
an interesting and instructive as well
as profitable side line that farmers
could understand it with profit. This
Is not an in1practicable matter, and
many farmers are doing it in a thor
ough manner. It is more difficult to
breed wheat, timothy or clover. Ad-
ditional profit comes from farmers

chosen and especially bred for his own
conditions. Not only has the we'll
bred corn stronger inherited tendencies
In producing large yields, but the farm
er has added pride in it, which works
for cleaner fields, larger crops and
greater profits. He has greater in
terest in growing variety of corn
which is in part his own creation. II

ne should secure it. It may be neces-
sary to try several, though the num-
Der should be limited. The experiment
station could furnish one or more va
r1et1es, and could give information as
to where others could be found suited
to given locality. The selection OF
foundation variety is the most I'M
portant part of the improvement ana
should not be hastily done. It neces-
sary two to four years should be spent
In seeking and testing new varieties
A peck or more of each new variety
should be secured. The best can be
chosen, by planting each year a few
rows of each kind, the rows eight or
ten rods long, harvesting, weighing and
making notes on the various qualities
of each kind. These small plots will
require only part Of the seed, the re-
mainder of which should be preserved.
Seed from the test plots will be mixed
by growing near each other, and should
not be preserved. When one kind is
found to be superior, and is chosen for
the foundation stock for new variety,
the remaining original seed should be
planted.
