1t is said that out of the 1900 farm
ers in Kansas 5000 are women, and
mostly American women, too, with
nearly the same proportion in Okla
homa 1t is with them as with the
men, some of them work almost daily
in the fields and others depend more
upon hired help whom they oversee
and direct The great interest in farm
ing taken by the young women in
some of the younger states is mani
tested by their presence at dairy
schools, meetings of dairy, horticul-

even stock breeding associations. and
some of them are among the most
successful farmers, either in mixed
farming or specialties, that can be
found.

Murder and Suicide.

A sad tragedy occurred about nine
miles south of Charlton Sunday night,
when VIM. futile q young farmer about
% years of age shot his wife and then
killed himself.
The facts az near as can be learned
are as follows: futile, who is man of
about % years of age, and his wife have
never gotten along very we'll, and about
six months ago separation took place.
Some time since they came together
again but Mrs. Tuftle threatened to
leave him on account of his drinking.
Sunday the couple drove out to visit
some friends, remaining until night.
Some time during the night futile
drove up to his brother Walters and
shot his wife and wanted him to shoot
him (Tuttle). Thinking it nothing but
drunken freak he told him to 60 home
and behave himself. He drove of and
about o'clock they heard shot. On
investigation futile and his wife were
both found in the buggy dead.
1t appears that after calling at his
brothers. futile drove home, unhitched
the horses and turned them loose in the
yard, seated himself in the bottom of
the buggy at his wife's feet and shot
himself. He had previously shot his
wife, who was found sitting upright in
the seat, leaning against the back.
The neighbors were notified and
messenger sent for the coroner, the
bodies, however, being left as found un-
til he arrived at o'clock p. m.
The couple have no family, their only
child having died some months ago.

Crop Bulletin.

The average daily excess of tempera-
ture during the past week was five to
eight degrees. The drought was quite
effectually broken by refreshing showers
fairly we'll distributed, on the 18th and
18th, which will be very beneficial to
late corn and all lnmatured crops.
The hot weather caused some damage to
pastures. potatoes and late corn planted
on sandy or thin soil; but the great bulk
of the corn crop Of this state, which is
planted on rich and well drained lands,
has been greatly benefited by this
period of ripening weather, following,
as it did, the unusually heavy rains OF
July.
Reports from all sections indicate
that the bulk Of the corn crop is now
well advanced toward maturity, and
with seasonable weather the early
planted portion will be safe from harm
by frost from the LIST to the 10th Of
September. Practically the whole crop
will be in condition to withstand any
thing short q 6ar> freezing weather by
lSeptember 18th to 2Oth. NGch 81 !
will be in condition to cut by September
LIST.

Binning agreed to quit and pay costs so
the case was stopped which is better for

to quit he said stop it if you can, and
Crees made him stop. When he came
before the mayor he told him it was
time to stop these rackets. He said
that he was expecting rackets as long as
he lived.
There are people who want law and
order but they want all the law applied
on other men while they are always out
of order. They want peace but it must
be of their dictation. They want pro-
gress, but with them at the head of the
column. They want prosperity but all
for themselves. They believe in liberty
for themselves but want to force others
as their own sweet will sees fit. They
believe in rights only for themselves
aud the other fellow be damned. They
believe in hell but they want to make it
for the other fellow. They even believe
in religion but not in the kind Christ
taught, for he said, whatsoever that
ye would men should do unto you do
you even SO unto them" They want
the kind that will allow them to pre-.
tend on Sunday and disturb the preach
er in the midst OF his service in the
week, or that which will not compel
them -to-pay their washer woman until
forced by the law, or one by which they
can smuggle up their property and de-
fraud their creditors or swear there are
heavy chains and porcher where there are
none, besides do many other things
contrary to the code of honor. In
short there is no crime they will not
commit to accomplish their purpose or
to please their own caprlce.
