The marriage OF certain Chahute
girl along about the middle of Deem
Der, will be somewhat of shock to
an unsuspecting public, not, however,
simply because of the marriage, but
for the reason that she will be giving

most important business houses.
| The Chanute band seems to be a
thing of the past. Why town the
size of Chanute cantor won't-sup'
port good band Is something hard to

the blbulous predictions of their re-
cent leaders. Let's have band If we
have to hire Kelley graduate to

Amyx & McAndrew, oil men, pro-

located in the east front Of the TIMES

to this office, with money to spend,
will please pass hurriedly through the
front compartment and first consult
with those in the rear. This is asked
simply as matter Of precaution on
our part, and warning to those who
may be unacquaInted with the sit

Vacant lots are in great demand

person with a little ready money
would put up about fifty or sixty
moderate dwellings he could have
them all filled within week and
have plenty of money to buy up all

Perhaps you have noticed that we
have cleaned up little-that is, we
have cleaned our office windows. And
this inexpensive improvement to our

harbored with reluctance for three or
four years, and which has at times al.
most caused US to abandon the TINES

have been removed, and the light OF
day flows in in one continuous and un-

the TINES office is situated in a most

A well known property owner intimat-
ed yesterday that there are not half a
dozen desirable houses to rent in the en-
tire city. He added; IF at least twenty
five new houses are not built in Danville
within the coming year, the problem will
become serious and rents will jump to
abnormal figures. Recent events how
ever do not tend to induce capitalists to
invest their money in building houses,
owing to the advance in building ma
terials, etc. Where we spent a dollar a
few years ago we now spend $40,
and altogether with the increased taxa

CONVENTION IN
SECRET SESSION
TIE Outcome Of the Mine Workers Con-
vent!on at Shanok!n Still II
ccubt.

The Convention of the United Mine
Shamokin yesterday morning with $50
delegates present. President Mitchell
presided. Rules for governing the CON
vention were adopted, after which the
various committees presented their re-
ports.
A communication was received from
President John Reese of the Iowa organ
ization of miners assuring them of SYM
pathy and wishing the anthracite min
ers success.
A communication was received from
Lattimer miners, crippled in the riot
at that place, asking for assistance. A
collection was accordingly taken up for
their benefit which amounted to $66.12.
On motion the firemen of District No
/ who are desirous of affiliating with
the United Mine Workers, were admit
ted to the convention.
District No. under President Thomas
D. Nichols, whose delegates are gener-
ally supposed to favor strike, seem to
hold the balance of power. 1t is the
largest of the districts and lacks only SO
votes of having as many as the other
two districts, and 8, combined.
Nichols is very much disappointed
over the refusal of the operators to meet
the miners and has taken a radical
stand for increased concessions, demand
ing among other things that miners be
paid by weight instead of by wagon as
at present.
During the forenoon the convention
went into executive session and re
mained behind closed doors during the
day President Mitchell is in posses
sion of letters from the presidents of the
coal mining and carrying companies
written in reply to the request for a
joint conference. These letters, it is
understood, form the subject of discus
sion in the secret session.
Things have an ominous appearance
and although peace is hoped for strike
is very much feared.

One Of the picturesque English COro-
nation ceremonies which have been
discontinued is that of lifting the king
In the old days the monarch always
slept at the palace of Westminster on
the night before the coronation. The
regalia, which are still. technically
speaking. in the dean and chapter Of
Westminster were brought by them to
Westminster hall in preparation for
the ceremony. These We're arranged
on long table, the crown, the scepter,
the spurs, and so on. The king when
he descended from the palace to West
minister hall was lifted by his mobiles
on to a marble chair
The lifting of the king into this chair
was a survival of the old Saxon custom
of carrying the king on his Shield. The
custom survived up to the time Of the
coronation Of George " When the
monarch was seated in the chair. he
at once directed by pointing his finger
which Of his mobiles should carry the
various parts of the regalia 10 the alb
bey, and the procession began.-Lon-

Points About Building - Best Corn
and How to Grow 1t For SiIngc.
In answer to a correspondent John
Gould says in Ohio Farmer: 1t is not
imperative that the contents of 4 SilO
be lowered two inches per day. 1t
would be difficult in many instances to
force a certain number of cattle to eat
that much. We have never found any
trouble where one inch daily is fed. To
divide n ten by seventeen foot silo into
two pits would make them very small,
and the friction on the walls would
make it difficult to get the silage very
compact. You would only have 10
surface feet OF silage, and 225 is not
considered a very great surface to feed
from. We would advise against parti-
ton. Plank with groovcd edges set In
''ceat runs" against the walls makes a
very good partition.
Better make your silO corners round
cd by mailing narrow boards across the
corners and round them in to a depth
of four inches and cut up in the cor
ncrs with the narrow lining or ceiling
and have no joints or semicorners. IL
you do set up beveled plank in the cor
ners, fill in behind them with thin Ce-
ment mortar; otherwise you will have
an air shaft in the corners to let air
into your silage.
Use narrow Georgia pine flooring to
cell up your silO, two and three-quarter
inch widths. Nail well, and while
painting the grooves might help some
II will prove Of little worth if the floor
ing is well put on and draw nailed.
The manhole doors, two by two feet,
cut so as to have the jambs come on
the girths, made snug fitting, opening
on the inside, are as satisfactory as
any.
| think the small kerneled Virginia
white corn is the best Of all the varie-
ties grown in northern Ohio. 1t grows
strongly and ears prOfusely, natures
for the silo by Sept 20 and carries a
great amount Of sugar, about four
times as much as sweet corn. We
much prefer planting corn for silage in
drills three and a half feet apart and q
kernel each six inches in the row. A
grain drill can be used with success,
but it does not come up so evenly, in as
perfect rows and does not cultivate as
nicely as the straight planter rOwg.
For silage corn prepare the ground
two weeks or more before planting.
Work it deep and make it mellow.
Harrow every few days to kill weeds
before planting. Plant two inches
deep. Harrow or use the weeder until
the corn is five or six inches high, and
cultivate very shallow and allow the
unbroken roots to grow as near the
surface as possible. The drier the
weather the oftener the shallow, fine,
level culture should be given to the
crop.

made of one inch boards, just far
enough from the barn so that a wagon
can be driven between. The alfalfa
hay is put into the barn through these
doors, and when wanted for stock a
wide shoot is used, reaching from the
barn door to the rack. By these means
the hay is conducted from the barn to
the rack without loss. These shoots
are removable and can be taken out
when the barn is being filled or for
any other reason. The work of feed
ing the stock is also greatly lessened,
as it consists simply in throwing the
hay into the shoot and allowing it to
slide down into the rack.
