while on the way to Jail, which, when
put together. was found to be a note
from someone in Colorado asking a

j. H. Miller who smashed the door
in a house he had rented Of Mrs. Han
nah Olsen, afterward assaulting her,
was fined S25, in lieu of which he went
to Jail. The plaintiff and her little
daughter, Vera. testified for the prose-
cution that Miller and his wife went
into Mrs. Olsen's kitchen, beating her
and following the assault with wordy
abuse and a side blow at the little girl
with a poker. All this the Millers de-
MED. the defendant stating that Mrs.
Olsen dared him to kick in the door,
after which they had some words and
he pushed" her over.
Miller was exceedingly wrought up
over his conviction and threatened to
appeal But as the appeal bond was
fixed at $50 and Miller could not even
furnish the amount of the fine, he will
probably reconsider the matter.
Mrs. Marshall, proprietress of the

rob and murder the old soldiers in
the 'Klondike' and will not convict
the jointkeepers who make these
crimes possible. In this condition Of
affairs by what method can Gov.
Stanley proceed to clear up the Klon-
dixie? A jury is the ultimate arbiter
Of crimes and punishments in this
country and the verdict of jury will
not rise higher than the moral sense
of the community in which they live.
Certainly county attorney would
not be subject to removal simply be-
cause he could not obtain verdicts Of
guilty from local juries. If this is
the condition, it is not time that the
state treat Leavenworth county as q
foreign community and cease to
shower donors upon her? Leaven-
worth county now has two United
States senators, Judge Of the United
States Supreme court, the United
States Circuit judge for the district
of Kansas, the Federal Penitentiary,
Soldiers Home, State Penitentiary
and United States Military Post and
Cavalry School. If an new institu-
ton is to be located in Kansas, let
the people see to it that lit is located
in a law-abiding and law-enforcing
community" Mr.. Humphrey is
right. Leaven worth county should
either accept civilization or quit ask

Some Republican and numerous
Populist papers in this section have
been demanding Of Congressman
Calderhead that he get in his work to
have regiments organized at Fort
Riley. OF course they did not stop
to consider or ask whether or not he
had already done so. Yet it tran
spires that months ago he went to
the war department, made such a re-
quest and received a promise Of such
favor. Since that time the Thirty
eighth U. 5. infantry has been order
ed to be organized at Fort Riley.
There are two United States senator's,
two United States Judges Of exalted
honor and renown, Congressman
Curtis and Bailey, both seeking OPP
portunlty to break their own and
each others necks for Leavenworth,
yet Riley has regiment to organize.

mands Of his constituents. Will the
the Democratic and Populist papers

We learn from the dispatches that
ex.Congressman W. D. Vincent, Pop
ulist, of Clay county, proposes to
make one more race for congress.
While in Topeka he gave out to some
of his friends that he wanted to be
vindicated, and thought the party
should nominate him once more.
Breidenthal wants Vincent to stay
out Of the congressional fight in the
Fifth and help him for governor. In
payment Breidenthal, il nominated
and elected, will make Vincent
warden Of the penitentiary. 1t is
understood also that Col. Little wants
to take hand as congressional nomi-
nee and would prefer that Vincent
stay out. Nothing would give the
Fifth district Republicans more pleas
ure than to have Mr.. Vincent run
again. After he had served the dis.
trict two years he was turned down
by large majority and it is not Of
record that anything has happened
since to warrant the belief that there
is crying demand for him now.
Our advice is to allow Vincent a
chance to seek ''vindication.n

Colonel Bryan's Jeffersonianism is
capable Of twists which in a less emil

trine might be assailed as rankest
Federal heresy. In recent speech at
Omaha he is quoted as saying: "The
Federal government, and the Federal
government alone, can extinguish
trusts, because it alone can lay its
hands upon the states and compel
them to enforce the law" Such a
proposition must set the Sage Of
Monticello to wondering on what
strange shoulders his political mantle
has fall in these melancholy days Of
party degeneracy.

Oh then what Joy to think at will,

Amid field new shorn,
And see all round on sun-llt slopes
The piled-up stacks Of corn;
And send the fancy wandering DER
All pleasant harvest-aeld Of yore.

The quivering OF the leaves,
And good old Jacob and hisuhouse
Binding the yellow sheaves;
And at this very hour seem
TO be with Joseph in his dream.
The sun-bathed quiet Of the hills,
The fields Of Galilee
That eighteen hundred years ago
We're full Of corn, see;
And the dear Savior takes His way
Mid ripe ears on the Sabbath day.
Oh, golden fields Of bending corn,
How beautiful they SEEM
The reaper-folk, the plled-up sheaves,
To me are like a dream.
The sunshine and the very air
Seem OF old time, and take me there.

About the Corn.

Do you know how many varieties
OF corn there are? Bulletin No. 81
of United States Department Of Agri-
culture gives some information on the
the subject Five hundred and eight
varieties are enumerated, and these
are divided into six groups: ~. The
"Pod Corns" are peculiar in having
each grain on the cob enclosed in
husk of its own. The whole ear is
also surrounded by husks. Darwin
thought that possibly this was the
earliest type of maize, from which all
others are descended Other natural.
lists regard it as freak. This variety
tends to produce much foliage, and
would make valuable forage plant.
(2). There are twenty-five varieties
of "pop corn" In these the starch is
very compact in small horny grains.
When heated to high temperature,
the moisture in the horn like starch
expands and explodes the grain, turn
ing it inside out. (S). The "hint
corns" are mostly eight-rowed. There
are So kinds. Many of them mature
in ninety-fve to one hundred and ff-
teen days. They are suitable for cold
climates, and are grown in the north
erp states and Canada, even as far
north as "a degrees latitude. Gay. The
most extensively grown varieties are
the "dent corns," numbering 1928 var
ieties. They take their name from
the indentation or "dent," which APP
pears at the end Of the grain on
ripening. The color is mostly
yellow and white, sometimes
red and black. (5E The "soft
corns" are so called because they
are entirely free from the compact,
horn-like texture Of the previous var
ties and the starch is all of a white
houry nature like the softer part to-
ward the tip Of grain Of dent corn.
This was grown by the Indians in
both North and South America.
There are twenty.seven varieties, the
best known, perhaps, being the "Blue
Squaw" corn. (6). The "sweet
corhs" are mostly grown in the
northern states, as they do better
there than in the south. The ker.
nels wrinkle much on drying. Sixty
three varieties are recognized and
mostly grown to be eaten green and
for canning. Corn varies in height
from IS inches for "Golden Tom
Thumb" to 80 feet for some varieties
grown in the West India islands.
Tennessee appears to hold the record
