LOSS IS MADE GOOD.

II will he remembered thai two
months ago the postomce at East Mo-
line was robbed of 5000 in stamps and
money while j. \. Brunk was in
charge of the office. The ease was
looked into by the authorities. and il
was decided that Mr.. Bruuk would
have to stand good for the loss,
which he did.
Deputy Sheriff Heider took Il blood
hound up with him to help him in the
case, but the dog would not go out
side of the postoffice, SO the fugitive
could not be traced up.
According to some of the general
talk i'm the village Mr.. Brunk has
gone to Alaska. The party who own
ed the farm where he lived asked him
to pay UP, but when lie went to see
him again Mr.. Brunk had left town.
The paying of the rent then fell ON
Mrs. skinner, who was on his bonds.

Is the following from Chairman
Searle: mo state in the union has
greater cause for pride in the part
Fshe took in the dark days of the war
Iof the rebellion than Illinois The
contribution of her ilIustrious sons,
Lincoln, Grant and Logan to the
cause of Liberty and Union would
of itself be sufficient cause for her
pride. But in addition. she more
than shared with her sister states in
the terrible sacrifice of her brave
sons, both officers and men. 1t has
now been .thirty-seven years since
the close of that memorable strug-
gle; many of it's veterans have passed
away. No community in Illinois but
deems il a high honor To entertain
their fast diminishing number. That
honor has this year fallen to the lot
of our city. no spot i'm all the grand
Mississippi Valley region surpasses
this in attractiveness to the visitor
and especially To the old soldier.
Here. nesting i'm the broad valley on
either side of the majestic Father cf
Waters. lie the three beautiful cities
of Rock Island. Moline and DaVcn-
port, with nearly one hundred thous-
and population. These busy com
mcrcial cities. beautiful. modern and
prosperous. have sprung. as by magic.
from the campgrOunds Of the famous
'tribc of Black Hawk Indians, who 50
appreciated the beauty and value of
the spot that. under the leadership
of their old chief Black Hawk. they
made their last stand against advanc-
ing civilization. Here also, ON
beautiful island OF thousand acres.
lying between the cities, is the great
government arsenal equipped by
Uncle Sam at the cost of many mill
lions. To fit out his boys in blue with
the Announcements of war; and dur
ing war times the site of a large
military prison for confederate
prisoners of war. But space is lack
ing to enumeratc or sufficiently re-
cite the beauties of the place or even
its most conspicuous points of inter
est. Suffice it to say that you
couldn't find more beautiful or
pleasant place TO visit. Our citizens
are proud of the honor of acting as
hosts of the occasion and in their
public spirit they are making every
preparation to give every visitor "a
grand good time. Arrangements are
not yet sufficiently complete to adj
wise you of the different provisions
made for your entertainments; but
we guaraDtee you will he as we'll en-
tertained as YOU ever were in all your
life. As is customary on such occa-
sions. part of the entertainment will
consist i'm camp fires For this pur-
pose two or three large halls have
been secured; but arrangements have
not progressed far enough to allot
the speakers to the several halls, nor
To arrange the programs at the diff
fcrent halls exactly as they viii he.
But enough has been done in that re-
gard so that a general outline of the
program can be furnished so that our
guests, invited to speak. may know
about when and in what order they
will he called on.

Seed corn is tested by selecting
from different parts of the supply of
corn 100 cars of average size and APP
pcarancc. Take out one kernel for
testing from near the middle of each
ear, making 100 kernels in all. If the
seed corn is shelled pick out from
different parts of the bin 100 kernels.
Fill an ordinary dinner plate with
sand and pour water on the sand I'M
til it runs off the plate. Shake the
sand down firm and level in the plate
and run Off the extra water not re-
tanned by the sand. Stick the kernels
selected for testing point down in
the sand, 100 kernels To The plate.
Sprinkle a little dry sand over the
wet sand. turn second smaller plate
over the first to prevent the too rapid
evaporation of the moisture. and set
i'm a warm place. under the stove or
i'm warm room. The temperature
of the ordinary living room is warm
enough to Spruut the seed.
Precautions to Follow
The following precautions arc suE-
gcsted:
I. If the sand becomes dry sprinkle
warm water lnot too hot To hold the
hand in) over il until the sand is
thoroughly moistened.
=. Wait until the kernels are push
ed out of the sand by the young
plants. DO not dig them up until the
end of ten days.
,. Use as fine sand as can be pro-
cured. II will hold the moisture
longer than coarse sand; hence will
furnish more favorable conditions for
termination.
At fhe end of six days % per cent
out of the tested kernels should have
sprouted. II } per cent of the kernels
fail To sprout it indicates poor vital
ity. Such seed should not he planted,
as the result will be weak plants, an
uneven stand and Il poor yield.
