CORN is SAFE.
8 Secretary Wilson Says Crop Ii the
Finest on Record.

Washington. Sept 13-Secretary Will
son who has returned from a trip
through the west summarized the agri-
cultural conditions in the states he Wis
tied These states. included Nebraska.
Kansas. Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and
Ohio. He said there was a great album
dance of crops generally in that region.
There will be a good corn crop" he
said. Corn now Is substantially out of
the way of frost
1.-THE corn crops in parts Of Kansas,
finest on record. There has been more
hundreds of millions of dollars depend
ing on the ripening OF this crop this
year than the ordinary person has ever
realized. While the crop is a little bit
late any danger of its failure can now be
one. While it may not be record
breaker the quality of the corn is splen-
did and with the exception of the south
ern states, the yield per acre is very
heavy. In the south the drought has
somewhat affected the corn crop.
THE wheat crop of the west this year
is also very fine and what may be con-
sidered as really the most important
crop Of all-the grass crops exceed
ingly good. The census. tells US there
has been a great increase during the
past ten years in the number of cattle
taken together with the fine crop OF
grass, insures lower prices of meat I
don't believe the price of meat, however,
will ever be as low as it has been in
the past for the simple reason that the
American people are more prosperous
meat than ever before. The exceedingly
high prices of meat will be a thing of
the past as soon as the present feeders
get fattened up to beef condition"

where he had dropped the precious tick

the passenger department the number
that the cOmpanys conductors might be
notified and refuse to honor the paste

one who might chance to find it. Having
done his duty the gentleman was
walking down the street when he come
upon some Mexicans standing at the
corner of E and Third streets. They
had bit of paper in their possession
over which they were. holding a council.
Thinking that the article looked famI-
lar, the gentleman from Kansas City
went I'D to the group of sOuthlanders.
and, recognizing the paper as his lost
pass, demanded its return to him. But
right here the trouble began. for the
CholOs refused to surrender the pass.

to present 1t, he is afraid the conductor
will take it I'D and charge him fare. so
he will have to wait before starting

Lyon County Worried Over How
to Care for Insane.
State Asylum Cannot Positively

is FULL TO THE LIMIT.
Four Cases Found in Emporia
in the Last Month.
The Record Alarms Officials
Never Reached Before.

, E,rnnoria- Kas.. Sept. lathe Ca
zette saws: Last Tuesday Sheriff O'Col.-
nor took Lyon county insane patient
TO the state asylum for the insane, anu
at that time the asylum was entirely
full of inmates.It so happened that
the day before the Lyon county pa
tient was taken up one of the men pa
tients ran away from the asylum and
away vacated was the only empty cell
In the house. and the Lyon county pa
tient was placed in the one empty cell.
Probate Judge Mason has not yet
received word from the asylum as to
whether the Mrs. Rashbord. of Read
ing, who was ad1udged insane last
Wednesday can enter the asylum or
not because of the fact that the asy-
intendent of the insane asylum OF To-
peka, was here yesterday and says that
the asylum is filled to the very limit
In case the asylum will be unable to
care for Mrs. Rashbord the county will
have to, for she is insane and is getting
worse every day. In Lyon county TOUR
people in the last five weeks have been
tried in the probate court OF this coun-
ty for insanity and found insane. This
record is almost alarming and never
before in the history of Lyon county
has that record been reached; Mrs;
Rashford, the Reading woman declared
insane last Wednesday, is the mother
of a six-months-old child, and one of
her three children at present is sick
with typhoid fever. At times Mrs. Rash
ford is sane. and was sane when on
trial before Probate Judge Mason
"Wednesday. She was nervous and said
she was conscious of her condition
when she is sane, but during her spells;
of insanity is altogether unconscious of
her actions. Mrs. Rashford's most Pc
culiar action was to attempt suicide by
jumping down in a well. 1t is wonder
that the fall down the well to the water
did not kill the woman. yet she was
but little injured. There was but three
feet of water in the well at the time.
and it was impossible for Mrs. Rashford
to be drowned in that depth of water.
