A REMARKABLE INVENTION.
a Professor Claims to Have Discovered How
to Ascertain the Mental Traits
of People.

Des Moines, Ia, July 22.-"What a
man is good for is an important ques-
ton to almost everyone" said Prof
Carl E. Seashore, of the University
of Iowa, inventor of the psycher
gograph, an instrument which de.
tects and records the mental traits
of people. Prof. Seashore thus de-
scribes it: 81 have in this machine
an instrument that will be of great
value in aiding employers in testing
the capacity of those who apply for
work. I can tell what scholar is the
brightest, what pupil is the earnest
plodder, what one is quick, but unre
liable. In short the psychergograph
will test the power of the individual
and compare the capacity of many
persons to do certain kinds of work
specified, to associate ideas, to de-
velop mental working power with
age and to perform many other men
tai acts and services"

FEEDING LEAVES TO CATTLE
Scarcity Of Water In Northeastern Missouri
Said to Be Working Great Hardships
ON Farmers and Live Stock.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 21.-E. o. Arm
strong, a prominent stockman of Mis-
souri,, arrived IN St. Paul and con-
ferred with the general freight de-
partment of the Omaha railway with
a view of arranging for the shipment
of trainloads of stock from his country
to the grass district of northern Wis
consin. He told some pitiful tales of
the conditions in his neighborhood,
where, he said, water is SO scarce as
to command high price. He related
one instance where farmer owning
125 head of cattle paid a neighbor,
who was fortunate enough to have a
pond, $40 for watering his stock once.
Other farmers, he said, are cutting
down trees that their stock may eat
the leaves.
The stock raisers find it cheaper to
ship the cattle to northern Wiscon-
sin, where thousands of acres of clover
and timothy grass land is going to
waste and where water is very album
dant.

REGISTRATION FOR HOMES.
The Total Number for Ell Reno and Law
ton Fo0ts Up 81 ,590-No Fear About
STRANDED HOmeseekers.

Ell Reno, Ok, July 2o.-When the
registration booths closed last night
02,599 homeseekers had been given
slips emitting them to a chance in
the drawing. Yesterdays figures for
Ell Reno were 1889, making a total
of 7O,497, while 1,447 persons regis
tered at Lawton, bringing the total
for that place up to 22,102.
The officials and business men of
FL Reno are not exercised any over
the probability of the city being
overrun with stranded homeseekers
after the drawing is over. ''This
crowd is not made up of boomers or
paupers," said Dennis Flynn. "Those
who really want homes and fail to
get them in the lottery will lease
public or Indian lands and stay with
us. Oklahoma will gain 10000 popu-
lation by this opening"
The suit to enioin the government
from opening the iowa-Comanche
country will likely be fled at Ell Reno
to-day.

Hillman. q newspaper correspondent.
was wrecked by dynamite Thursday
night. Hillman is charged with be-
ing the correspondent who wrote the
story telling of a frog that ate dyna-
mite, exploded, and killed or serious
" injured the three children of Geo.
McCurry. The trouble with the story
was that McCurry was single, had no
children, dynamite or frog. Some
friends of McCurry's decided to hoist
Hillman by his own petard. Thurs
day night q quantity of dynamite
was placed under the correspondents
house with the intention of giving
the writer a taste of higher journal
ism. Hillman, however, was away
from home. The explosion lifted the
roof off the house and tore great
gaps in the walls. Hillman denies he
wrote the frog story and has ap-
pealed to the police to find the men
