MR.. JONES EXPLAINS.
Says He Isn't Responsible for Top eka
Township Middle.

Mr.. John Jones has an explanation to
make. The following explains the SER
ious muddle in the Topeka township
primary which was not pulled off ac-
cording to Hoyle Saturday afternoon.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
Your account of the Saturdays pri-
mary in Topeka township blames me
with the default in Sutherin precinct.
delivered the poll books and ballots, as
an accommodation, to the township COM
mittee, at this precinct. I do not live or
vote in Sutherin precinct, but in Hart
sock precinct. I was directed to deliver
the Sutherin ballots to either Mr. F.
Washburn or Mr.. c. Hercules. I gave
them in charge of Mr.. Hercules at
Sachs green house, and my responsi
bility ceased right there. Not being a
committeeman nor a member chosen on
the board, and being interested simply
in getting the poll books and ballots to
the precinct because no one came after
them, I do not think your paper should
blame me for the failure to hold a pri-
mary in Sutherin precinct. The failure
in Sutherin must rest with the commit
teemen named above. 1 did all 1 agreed
to do, and what 1 did was volunteer
work and should have been done by
the regularly elected committeeman in
/ that precinct. JOHN JONES.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The situation

IMMENSE
Crops Through hout Grain
Growing Section Of
the Country.

Chicago, Aug. Is. - Nature has
dealt lavishly with the farmers
throughout the grain growing district
of the country despite the heavy rains
of June and July in some localities,
and the drought in others, and as a
general proposition the crops will ex-
coed those of last year and in many
instances prove the largest for a num-
Der of years. Not only is there prom
ise of this being banner year in the
amount of grain harvested, but 1t
comes in the face of high prices -
prices that are two or three times as
large as they were few years ago.
The outlook is such as to bring Joy to
the grain growers everywhere.
Rains during the last day or two
have been of inestimable value in
some parts of the grain country. One
inch of rainfall has insured Kansas
the largest crop of corn in the history
of the state. The corn crops of Mis-
souri,, Nebraska and Ohio have been
likewise benefited. The yield of corn
in Indiana will be phenomenal. In
parts Of South Dakota the frosts have
cut down the harvest of corn some
what.
The weather has been against Min
nesota wheat, and while the whole
yield will be below the average, the
yield per acre will be the largest in
five years. Missouri's crops are all
the best the state has seen The yield
of wheat in Indiana Is SO large as to
create surprise. Illinois and Missouri
will also have splendid crops.
Good promise is given Of an excel
lent oat crop generally.

ort of building and loan associations,
at st. Mary's, this county, another
startling chapter has just been made
public. 1t develops that prominent
citizen who is secretary of building
and loan company is short in his aG-
counts $S,203.73. He at once turned
over nearly $1,000 in cash and securi-
ties for the balance due, but, denying
that the shortage amounted to that
much, asked for the appointment Of
another inspector Accordingly In
spector Weaver, of Cleveland, has been
appointed and is now making thor
ough examination of the books.
A few months ago the same in
spector found shortage of nearly
$4,000 in the accounts of another St.
Mary's building and loan association,
who is also highly esteemed citizen
The secretary turned over securities to
cover the shortage and promptly re-
signed. AS in the other case there is
no hint of dishonesty; carelessness be-
lug obviously the cause.

With Good Effect at East Pal

Stolen.
(Stan Specially

East Palestine, Aug. 15.-The post
office safe here was blown open with
dynamite and robbed of $500 in cash
and about $500 in stamps and money
orders, at 2:30 o'clock this morning.
The work was done by three men, who
drove into town in a rubber tired car
riase. The ground was soft and the
tracks of the wheels could be seen on
a number of the streets. Entrance to
the postoffice was gained by breaking
the lock on the front door of the
building. William Crum, who sleeps
khe rostoffice is located, heard the
explosion and went to the DOR. AS
he stepped out o !e of the men shot at
him, but the bullet struck the side of
the building a short distance from him.
He stepped back into the room, dressed.
and securing a revolver went to tho
postoftice, but the burglars had gonc.
He gave the alarm, and a posse oon-
posed of the chief of police, the post
master and number of citizens start
ed in pursuit, but no trace of the men
could be found. Farmers in the vi.
cinity Of New Waterford say they
heard fast driving during the night
and 1t is supposed the burglars went
north in the direction of that Pare.
1t is thought the men are members
Of sang that is working in this vi
cinity, and who broke open the safe in
the Niles postoffice few days ago,
securing about $1,000.
Late yesterday afternoon the resi-
dence of ]. e. Walton, about one mi,e
west of Winona, was entered in the
absence of the family and the house
ransacked from cellar to garret. Fight
dollars. gold watch and some jewelry
were secured. Mr.. Walton is wealthy
cattle dealer and is known to keep
large sums of money in the house. It
is thought the robbery was committed
by the men who later blew the safe in
the postoffice at East Palestine.
