A Rural Court Scene.


A couple applied to rural justice OF
the peace for total divorce. The JUS

a whisper:

"You can't do It," replied the bailif,

JOHN c. HUBINGER.
Remarkable Career OF . Wen-Known
Western Capitalist, Manufac4-
urer and Phtlanthropist.

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John G. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without a peer. AS
manufactures, as an enterprising cap
italist and as philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but ~ years of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born In New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on a number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
By inclination and force of circum-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture Of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course Of
time he became the head Of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstakinp study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made a

Extin rufshed.

A young and newly-married couple
were entertaining their friends. and
among the guests was one whose con-
tinued rudeness made him extremely
Objectionable to the rest of the COM
pany. His conduct, although most un-
bearable, was put up with for some
time, until at supper he held up on his
fork a piece of meat which had been
served to him, and in vein Of intended
humor, he looked round and remarked:

If the reader took the time and trou-

peka the simple question given below,
he would obtain the one answer. If he
would read the statements now being

answer it would surprise him to note
that they number so many. AS many
more could be, and may be, published,

our claim:

attacks of pain across the small of my

wATsoN's SUMMARY.
Kinsley Man Tells About Western
Kansas Crops

KANSAS drops
In a letter to a Topeka friend, George
w Watson of Kinsley. better known as
Colonel UnderfiOw,'' writes as follows:
1.-The only thing new to report on
weather and crops this week is that we
have had exceedingly dry and exceed
ingly hot weather, including hot winds
and no rain. The great bulk of feed
crops was cut and 20 per cent has not
been threshed. This is especially true
as to sorghum. It was badly damaged
and has fallen down and will not be
good, but there will be plenty of feed
for all the stock we now have here or
all that will be brought in.
'ThreShing is progressing and the
grain has dried out and is in much bet
ter shape than we thought We are
we'll pleased at the way the grain is
turning out as compared with what the
appearances at harvest would indicate
and it is really averaging better this
year than it did last, but of course
there is not nearly so much wheat.
Corn was practically matured before
the hot winds came and it is a first
class crop.
1T is too dry to get ground ready for
fall wheat, but there is plenty of time
yet for that and for fall seeding. I do
not believe that there will be much
increase, if any, and there may be
some falling off in the number of acres
planted in the southwest thirty coun-
ties of Kansas this year. The cause

court to remember with reference to
those notes that all Gen. DeIoye could
say was that it was not impossible that
Dreyfus might have possessed them.
This was all he could say when it was
a question of high treason.
NJ. Demange added: You will find
this phrase in the mouth of a witness
entitled to your entire respect and it
is upon the strength of such a state
ment that Dreyfus is to be proved
guilty. I viii not attempt to obtain
much light on the documents, but since
theories have been promulgated I will
suggest one. I will seek to show that
you must put aside even the technical
effort of the prosecution. I viii seek
to combat the circumstantial evidence
it has invoked
