l noted with satisfaction the large
patches of wheat. 1 am convinced the
culture of wheat and alfalfa will event
ually share honors with the corn in
Kansas"
The area of Shawnee county is $751;
120 acres. OF this 234.772 acres are in
cultivation, including 110,S34 acres that
are used for the culture of hay and
prairie grass. The remainder, 122, 34S
acres is unfenced and includes prairie
and timber land
According to reports received at the
office of Secretary Coburn of the state
board of agriculture the acreage of the
crop harvested this summer in Shawnee
county is as follows:
Winter wheat, 1852 acres.
Spring wheat, Is acres.
Alfalfa, 2.371 acres.
Corn, los, 1922 acres.
Il estimate that at least $1,000 acres
are sown to winter wheat now said
Major Anderson. THUS it may be seen
that the acreage is vastly increased -

State Auditor Cole and Assistant

jority of 500, whereas three years ago
the combined fusion vote was 300 more

the Republican candidate, was elected
in 1898 for the reason that there was a
three-c ornered fight, but if the contest
had been between the Republicans and
the other two parties combined the fu-
sionists would have won by a majority
of 900. This year the Democrats and
Populists combined and had the Repub-
licans badly scared, but when the votes

reelection, had 500 majority.

The trial OF John Robinson on the
charge OF stabbing John Kennedy at
the Knerr brothers ranch on Coyote
creek, with intent to do him serious II
notfatal injury, was called before the
district court on Monday and Tues
day.
The venire was exhausted before a
Jury could be empanelled and a
special venire was ordered by the
court. the jury being completed at :
O'Clock on Monday afternoon as fol-
lows:
7. L. Harmon, Fred IL. Bean, jos.
Diezieger, of Lewistown; Peter Nor
ris. S. z. Snider and Frank Showal-
ter. OF Gilt Edge; W. II. Clark, Samuel
Cox, J. o. Helsing, OF Cottonwood;
A. NJ. Matthews, OF Stanford, and g.
W. Belcher.
The witnesses for the prosecution
were ms follows: John Kennedy, oe
Lock, John Shelton, Jake Knerr,
George Knerr, Raleigh Knerr, Jesse
Wood, Doctor Gaylord Mccoy and
James Lyon.
County Attorney Belden had charge
oftheprosecution, while Frank Smith
conducted the defense.
John Kennedy, as the principal wit
ness for the state, said that he had
been working on the knerr brothers
ranch for eleven months and had
known John Robinsonior that tlength
of time; that on the day the stabbing
occurred, Robinson, j ohm shelton, Joe
Lock and himself were engaged set
ting posts Oh Wolfcreek. During tie
day Robinson complained of being
sick and Kennedy said he told him
that he had better take Locks team
and go to the house, andfurthermore
told him to use some whisky which
he kennedy had there. He did not
see Robinson again until supper time,
at which time he came down while
the witness was eating supper and
asked him "why he had been telling
lies to Jake Knerr about him to cause
him to fire him?" He told Robinson
that he had not told Jake Knerr any
more than he had told him, where
upon Robinson dared him to get up
from the table and hit him. The wit
ness said that he arose from the table
and struck Robinson on the mouth,
at which Robinson cllnched him and
they struggled around the room.
Kennedy said he thought that he
was struck in the stomach first, but
did not realize that knife was being
used until he began to feel sick. He
then called for someone to take the
knife, at the same time catching Rob-
inson by the wrist. Robinson then
asked him il he was willing to quit,
and the witness said that he told him
yes. as he was getting very weak.
When Robinson let go Kennedy said
he leaned up against the wall and
raised up his sweater and saw that
his entrails were hanging out. Rob-
inson said he would put them back II
Kennedy could stand 1t, at the same
time, the witness said, someone told
him to lay down, which he did, and
did not remember seeing Robinson
sgain.
On being cross-examined the wit
ness said that Robinson had told him
that evening that one OF them must
die. On being asked how many
wounds he received he said that he
had eight, and on request showed the
wound in his abdomen to the jury.
He stated that the stabbing took

Tie Ere sident and lie South.

The Atlanta Constitution, in q lengthy
article upon the attitude of the President
toward the South, and especially with re-
gard to the negro, says.
Full of hope have been some Of the
Presidents declarations, and ready as we
may be to indoTse all that he may do in
removing present evils, we should not let
expectancy mislcad us. 1t is true the
President went outside of his party to
md suitable material for the Alabama
judgestip, but in that case he was handi-
capped by the fact that in that State Re-
pubiicans of judicial prominence We're few
and inr between. 1t is true that the
President has gone farther and declared
that he would appoint no man to respon-
sible office who could not command the
approval of the people interested, and in
a general way this rule would exclude the
negro. But the situation in the South is
too serious TO be settled by mere infer
cnce. So far the President has said moth
ing to assure us that we will have no re-
currence OF the negro shadow. His init
nations have been very good but it
takes a good deal more than intinlation
to justify a serious response. There is
not a Democrat in the land but would be
rejoiced to see Republicanism throw off
it's attitude Of sectionalism, because a
sectional party is ever a cause of irrita-
ton to any country. With both political
parties nationalized there might be a trial
of strength as to nrncinles.
'But-the President has not as yet
spoken the word,''
