The southeastern fourth Of the state
of Iowa has largely substituted bar
ley for oats as a rotation crop in con-
nection with clover and corn. 1t Is
found that barley is less liable to
blight, ripens earlier, is far better
crop to seed down with and where a
crop of 80 or 40 bushels can be grown
is every way more satisfactory crop
than oats.

We noticed a field of rape the other
day containing about three acres, into
which had been turned 40 shotes and
about 80 sheep. The rape was IS

burned up pasture lot adjoining it
seemed as if both hogs and sheep had
truck very soft snap. Why not more
of just such fields?

If you have ~ cows, it will pay to
look up the farm separator proposition.
In doing it, however, regard must be
had as to the disposal of your cream.
If one of the members of cooperative
creamery working under the creamery
separator plan, it may be best to let
the farm separator alone until such
time as it can be generally used by the
patrons of such creamery. But if you
are selling cream to gathered cream
creamery, or make your own butter, or
supply milk and cream for town Gus
toners, there is not the least doubt as
to the economy of the farm separator

has made the holding of such land very

will have to be made from the cult

VERDICT RENDERED.
Christian Schweisberger Gets
$3.50 From the Electrical
Company.

The Jury in the appropriation case
of the Stark Electric railway against
Christian Schweisberger to appropriate
right of way through the farm of de-
fendant, returned a verdict Friday
evening of $3.50 in favor of Schweis-
berber. The farm lies adjacent to
Crystal park addition to the city of
Canton. and is consequently consider ed
more valuable than farm lands, hence
the jury allowed $3.50 for the LA acres
taken and 5000 for damages to the bal
ance of the land. One reason why the
damages were made higher is that part
of a good orchard will be destroyed
fourteen fruit trees being in the line
of the right of way. Attorney Kreich-
baum represented the defendant and
Webber & Turner the plaintiff com
pany. The verdict is considered sat-
isfactory one.

Women Attack Carriage
With Non-UnIon Men.
EFFORT TO STOP IT
Rotten Eggs and Stones We're
Thrown, While Men Were
Being Taken to
Star Mill.

Pittsburg, Aug. 30.--Women took
hand in the strike of the steel work
ers yesterday and attacked the car.
riage that was hauling non-union men
.C the Star tin plate works. They
threw rotten egs and stones at the
men, hurting them from windows Of
houses in Twelfth street, leading TO
the mills, and after several attacks
the driver of the carriage was in
duced by the strikers to quit work.
The officials of the plant then
placed a member of the coal and iron
police on the seat of the carriage and
he escorted the mentor the rest Of
the day.
The attack on the non-union men
and the carriage by the women Is re-
garded as an indication Of the ugly
feeling brewing in the neighborhood
CT the Star mills, and the police have
Leen called upon to give special at
tention there. When the officers were
hastily summoned last night the wo-
men and those engaged in throwing
the eggs and stones disappeared.
The strikers pickets about the Star
plant were in no way connected with
The assault on the carriage, and did
all they could to stop 1t, but without
avail. The strikers say they will not
quit their efforts to prevent this meth
cd OF warfare and If 1t Is possible
they will stop further demonstrations
Many strike breakers were about
The city yesterday afternoon. Some
Of them had been taken in charge by
strikers representatives and had been
paid money to leave the city Before
going. however, they were again ap-
preached by the officials Of the COM
pany and induced to reconsider their
action. Some of the men who were
about to desert decided to return to
the mills and then offered back the
money they had received from the
Amalgamatedassoci It was re.
fused at first, but was finally taken.

ABEASCORPUS
Samuel Bowers Will Try
to Secure Release
FROM DURANGO VILE
Claimed He Was Forcibly and
UnIawfuiIy Brought Into
the State BY Sheriff
Zaiser.

Samuel Bowers, who was brought to
Canton by Sheriff Zaiser from Indiana
on a charge of non-support, and placed
in the county Jail, is making an effort
to secure his release through habeas
corpus proceedings. Saturday morning
his attorneys, John II. Sponseller and
James Sterling, filed petition in COM
mon pleas court asking that writ of
habeas corpus be issued by the court.
The matter was presented to Judge
Ralph s. Amber, who allowed writ
that will authorize taking Bowers from
Jail and into court for hearing Satur-
day afternoon at o'clock, when the
case will be heard
UPON IT'S MERITS.
The petition sets forth the fact that
warrant was issued from Justice Bow
mans court, and that the sheriff arrest
ed the prisoner at Danville, Ind. 1t is
alleged that he was unlawfully and
forcibly returned to the state and that
his restraint in durance is illegal.
The grounds upon which the mans
release will be asked are those publish
ed Friday, that Bowers came with the
sheriff upon misrepresentation, not
knowing that the governor of that
state, or his agents, had refused to re-
cognize the requisition papers from
Ohio. Sheriff Zaiser, 1t is claimed,
while
NOT MISUNDERSTANDING
the matter as to the facts, led Bowers
to believe that he had not yet seen the
governor, and that trouble and ex-
pense could be avoided If he were to
come back to Ohio without that for
mality. The sheriff had not seen the
governor, but had seen his secretary
and the attorney general, who told him
that as desertion was not a penal Of
fense in that state they could not au-
thorize his arrest.
1t is thought that even If Bowers
does not secure his release he may be
able to arrange to give bond. Should
the writ be allowed, the probability Ia
that he would Immediately be rearrest-
ed upon his release.
It is said that when Sheriff Zaiser
searched Bowers, after his arrest, he
found upon him papers to show that
he had between five and six thousand
dollars in bank. He is said to have
! offered his wife $1,000 to settle the
case, but she refused to accept it, as
she claims that she put $4,000 in the
farm that he sold and never drew a
cent out.
