ing guilty and receiving sentence,
Dist. Atty. Brown explaining to them
the fact that they could save two or
more months of confinement, than by
waiting to plead at the regular Octo-
Der term. They decided to
wait and gave as an excuse that they
did not want any more hard labor at
Waupun in hot weather than was
necessary. This refusal to plead was
a surprise to the officers but nothing
was thought of it. Now it IS plainly
TO be seen why this respite was taken.
The discovery of the sawed bars at
such an opportune time was most
fortunate and it is unnecessary to
state that the prisoners are now kept
in close bonds.

ABOUT THE CORN CROP.
New Cause of Alarm Becoming Mani
fest with Growth of the Ear.

While the ram of two weeks ago
was thought to have improved TO a
large extent. and undoubtedly did
improve somewhat the prospects for
a corn crop in this vicinity, another
discouraging phase OF the situation is
now becoming apparent.
Many fields in which good growth
of stalk has been made and in which,
to all appearances, the ears are as
large as thev should be at this season
prove very disappointing when a
closer examination is made. Many
of the cobs, when laid bare, are found
to contain only few scattered grains
which will be of no value whatever as
feed. This has been caused by lack
of fertilization brought about by the
destruction of the tassel or blossom
of the plant by the heat at a time
when its development was vital. The
shoot came on as usual and the silk
hung from the head of the cob, but
the pollen was not forthcoming and
the crop was ruined.
Where the blight of the blossom
has prevented the growth of the
grain in one portion of the field It is
altogether likely that the whole field is
similarly affected, for under normal
conditions the distribution of the pol
len is very even in the same field. OF
course the fodder value of the plant
will, if anything, be increased because
it will retain the matter that would
otherwise 60 to the grain.

TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE ARE EXPECTED
Lancaster Making ARRANGEMENTS to Enter
tain Largest Delegation Of Visitors
Ever Within Her Gates

One week from today Lancaster
will surrender to the Modern Wood
men and the occasion will be one that
will 90 down in history as outriyal-
ling anything of its kind ever at
tempted in Grant county.
When Sylvan Camp took upon its
shoulders the Herculean task Of en-
tertaining for day the TWENTY-FIVE
or more Woodmen camps Of Grant
county along with the accompanying
host OF visitors it was an undertak-
ing OF no small proportions. A sum
OF money amounting to $500 or over
was required in addition to consider
able hard labor and careful manage
ment. With will the boys took
mold Q. the matter and by most per-
sistent efforts and painstaking en-
beavers met all barriers successfully.
Committees having in charge the
various affairs report most crafty
ing results. 1t is impossible to out
line the program in full-indeed
there isn't space in the Herald to tell
about all the good things in store for
the jolly Woodmen, their families and
friends. Each Woodman is to be
provided with a badge that will take
him anywhere and if he doesn't have
gala day its his own fault and his
expenses will be refunded.
Ample accommodation are to be
provided for all who come. In the.
first place the excursion train to be
placed at disposition of visitors who
come by rail is something convenient
allowing one to arrive early in the
day and remain in the evening until
the ceremonies are complete. The
rate is very low, being II fare for
round trip from Galena to Lancaster
and all points intervening. The train
departs from Galena at a. N. and
arrives at Lancaster at 8 a. m. Leaves
Lancaster at 9 P. m.
The principal address of the day
will be delivered by p. Monroe Smock
OF Wayerly, Ia speaker of more
than ordinary note Short remarks
will be made by number of lesser
lights ami music will float on the air
without interruption all day. The
bowery dance, the spectacular parade.
the program Of sports, etc, are all
features that will prove n whole show
in themselves and the best of ii all is
everything is free to you. Court

Woodmen and no restraint will be
met with in having an unlimited
amount of wholesome fun.

Some time ago one Of our leading

tack of ''lonesomeness for her beau,
not having seen him for two days
and as he was some miles away she
could not see him personally and her
only salvation was to call him up on
the Farmers line. This she did and
the conversation which ensued was as
follows:

asked.
Yes dear. How are you this even

"Oh, am getting along nicely but

which will make them happy forever

The financial public has become ac
customed to unfavorable annual re-
ports of Industrial companies. In re-
gard to the American Bicycle Com
pany, there was, moreover, no expecta-
tion of favorable results. The show
ing made by that corporation for the
year ending August l serves, how-
ever, to indicate how completely the
BOOM which few years ago reign
ed in the bicycle manufacturing trade
has collapsed. The company in ques-
tion was a combination of bicycle
manufacturing plants formed at a
time wien the craze in that connec-
tion had by no means subsided and
when high prices for the product en-
abled the promoters of the enterprise
to capitalize it at extravagantly high
figures. The figures of the statement
show that during the year just ended
the net profits were but $3.50, 900, as
against 1856. 200 in the ten months
ending Aust 1, 1900, while the sur
plus of the company is given as $685.

In times of prosperity the matter
of investment is one of Importance;
railroads and industrials are attrac-
tive, but have their disadvantages;
as business becomes slack, their profit
producing power is necessarily cur
tailed, therefore the shrewdest and
most influential business men of the
world have turned their attention to
mining, the source of nearly all
wealth, for persons who have been
ensla,ed to the idea that the only
safe proposition was 5 per cent or
6 per cent security now realize that
many millions of interest have been
lost to them through needing the ad-
vice of those interested in cheap
money, and that among the banking
institutions of the West Is and 20
per cent per annum is not considered
hazardous western profit or ex-
cessive dividend on the great major
ity of our gilt-edged mining secur-
tiles; and, further, the richest men
in the world are mining kings many
of whom have grown powerful
through the proper application OF
originally a moderate capital, and it
is proven that while millions of dollars
have been lost in railroads, farm
mortgages, Eastern industrials and
building associations, the American
mining industry steadily advances,
making enormous profits for its sup
porters, building great states and
cities, and points with pride to the
American possession of 253 mines that
have paid in dividends over 1852, 000,
600, and courts "a comparison with
