one for farm work. 1t began with light rain
Monday, turning to- snow. which continued
Tuesday, and in the eastern section of the
state developed into a severe storm, drifts
Of snow from one to six feet high being left

This practically put an end to seeding for
the week from the James river valley east
ward, except in favored localities, on high,
sandy soil. In the northern portion. where
the force of the storm was not so severe,
seeding has been delayed by cold weather,
tho ground freezing at night. In some sec
tons in the extreme southeastern portion OF
the state wheat seeding Is finished. but as a
general thing it is little more than started,

Christian Science Lecture.

The calm serenity born of conf
dence and faith was the character
istic of Edward \. Kimball's lecture
last night (Friday. November 81, at
the opera house, which appealed par
ticularly to his audience. He was so
obviously honest, so absolutely sin
cere, that these qualities alone,
apart from the intense interest and
logic of his arguments, would have
held the rapt attention of his hear
ers.
The opera house was filled last
night with as cosmopolitan an audi
ence as was ever seen in the city.
Ministers were there, and college pro-
fessors, business and professional
men, club women and society women
and women prominent in political
and municipal affairs. They were all
there and they listened with closest
interest while the gentleman on the
stage set forth in simple language
and unassuming manner the tenets
of the faith that teaches that thought
rules the world.
Mr.. Kimball is regarded as most
capable exponent of Christian Sci
ence. He is a member of the Chris
tian Science Board of Bectureship of
the First Church of Christ, Scientist,
of Boston, and is now on a lecturing
tour of the country.-Colorado Tele-

nois theatre Thursday evening at s

.Some folks let the snow pile mp
till its done showing and there is n
hard ridge in the middle of the side
walk where a path mas been broken
and then they sally out and shovel
away. OF course they cant remove
the packed snow and so it stays for
people To slide both ways upon. If
it was only let entirely alone one
could manage to get some sCrt of n

never knows where he is going to

DENIED THAT THE POET
OF SPOTLESS TOWN is DEAD

Now Chicago claims the honor of.
being the place of residence of the
poet of Spotless Town. Moreover, it
declares that he is not dead, but still
lives and produces poetry after his
kind by the bale, as per order.
If the late "Reddy" Roach. Trinity
college man, composer of Greek
verse, street car conductor and rail-
way porter-as the Boston CORE
spondents aver-ever wrote the
Spotless Town rhymes, he must have
done it in his mind, says the Chicago
Tribune. "Reddy' Roach may never
have claimed the glory of it, but his
friends seem to have done so. The
person who really wrote the songs is
alive and well. and lives in Chicago.
On the eleventh floor of the Home
insurance building. in secluded cor
ner of the offices of the National Bis
cult company, sits modest young
man who wears the name of J. h.
Fraser. He is a Chicagoan, gradu-
ate of Cornell university, and his age
is % years. 1t was Mr.. Fraser who
created the famous street ear comics.
Mr.. Fraser, who has had almost as
many experiences as the Trinity col
lege claimant, says that Spotless
Town became known to the world as
the direct result of a plate of pork
and beans i'm a New York restaurant.
''You see. ] was just out of Cor
nell" admitted Mr.. Fraser. while a
volley of questions sought to pierce
his modesty. 81 started for New

posters for window advertisements.
For that | received three squares

\ it. That's the whole story.
This was in October of 1899. Spot

! from one end of the country to the
other. Then the biscuit company
by tempting offers secured Mr. Fras-
er as assistant advertising manager.
Mr.. Fraser was born in Chicago.

Why are so many men aiIing? Why
do they continuously take treatment
for their private ills and yet never
get well? In the majority of cases
it is because they secure only ordi-
nary treatment. 1t is because they
go to the general practitioner, who
lacks the teachings of experience in
special cases, or what is still worse
for them, they go to the self-styIed
specialist whose speciality en-
braces, as their announcements i'm
ply, every known disease. 1t is be-
cause they come in contact with too
many belts, specifics, free samples,
or similar devices. That such treat
ment does not nor can not cure di-
senses and weaknesses peculiar to
men is well known to all who have
tried it.

Varicocle, tricture, Blood Poison,
Impotency or allied troubles require

Plenty OF Old Corn.

The New York Times in comment
ing on the corn furry says it "may
accomplished it purposes in the win
ming of a few relatively small bets as
to the price of corp at given time;
but one result which probably was
not expected was the revelation that
the shortage of corn as the result of
last years drought has not reached
the famine point. The incident show
ed that there were $4,000, 900 bushels
of corn within less than halt a days
transportation of Chicago; also that
there are some $4,000, 900 bushels in
Iowa, 25, 900, 600 in Nebraska, and in
determinate but very considerable
quantities in Indiana. Ohio, Kentucky,
Missouri and elsewhere. Estimates
of crops are necessarily unreliable, but
an incident like the corn ''corner"
brings to light the vast stOrehouses of
food products that are unmarked all
over this vast land. The supply of
grain in the hands Of the farmers can
only be guessed at, and efforts to un-
earth it in time of quiet is like find
ing property for purposes Of taxation.

Central Indiana was on Thursday
swept by one of the most severe rain
and electrical storms of the year. Two
persons were killed by lightning, half
dozen were injured and property
and growing crops were damaged to
the extent of thousands of dollars.
The storm was very severe in Tippe-
canoe, Cass, Kosciusko, Miami and
Fulton counties.
A bridge on the L. E. & w. rail-
road near Peru was swept away by
high water and a section of the G. r.
g. M. tracks near Converse was wash
ed out. Many buildings were unroOf-
ed by the wind and in the storm
swept section growing corn is laid to

Friday. His father was the first SET
tier there in l1S43. Aaron was then
six years old and for almost sixty
years that place has been his home.
When he settled there Plymouth and
Warsaw were the nearest post Offices,
and when they started to Plymouth
to mill they took an are and a log
chain with them for a road had to be
made part of the way.
Mr.. Hancock says the incest farms
in Tippecanoe township and the finest
farms now between Tippecan0e and

with trees, underbrush and water,
and the boys of today would scarcely
think it possible to make fine farms
