Centerville, Iowa, Oct. 18.-Former
Gov. Drake is suffering greatly from
his injuries, but his general condition
is somewhat improved. DR.. Sawyer
said he had no cause for immediate
alarm, but feared that confinement in
bed would aggravate the diabetical
trouble of his patient. The pain in his
side was increased greatly, but the
doctor says it is incident to the case.
The healing process has commenced,
but owing to the governors weak con.
dition, will be slow. He is incased in
cast and cannot move without great
pain. Two ribs are broken off and
one nearly so, besides other bruises.
His appetite has been better, and
though very i'll, he is hopeful and
cheerful.

CHAMPION HARVESTER
WON NOVEL PRIZE
Farmers Daughter Became
Bride of the Ma N Who Saved
the Crop.

Wichita, Kan, June 1S.-Farmer
James Woolsey has succeeded in hav-
ing his 500-acre wheat field cut before
the yellow grain grew musty. But 1t
cost him his daughter. He gave her
as a prize to the young harvester do
ing the greatest amount of work in a
specified time. Willis Roadway, a
young mechanic from Illinois, won,
and he and Anna Woolsey were mar
ried at Pratt yesterday.
The Woolsey farm is one of the
largest in Pratt county. and the
scarcity of harvest workers in that
section weighed heavily upon the
farmers mind. His wheat grew dead
ripe, and there was no one to help
him cut it. Then he devised plan to
offer as bride to the hardest worker
his 19-year-old daughter. She was as
dutiful as good looking. The men
came by the score. She was given the
privilege of rejecting any of the con-.
testants she personally disliked, and
many were thus ruled out.
The contest was spirited. 1t lasted
three days, during which time Rod
way, working 10 hours day, cut 100
acres and wore out three good teams
