FARMERS SHORT OF HANDS.
Much Trouble Being Experienced in
Gathering Corn.

Farmers on the north side of the Kan
sas river who suffered from the flood
are now unable to secure hands to husk
the corn that was planted and grown
since the flood.
The shortage of men. is effecting the
farmers quite as much as anyone else
Many farmers have offered men three
cents a bushel and their board to husk
corn The usual price is two cents a
bushel without board. The farmers also
offer to furnish the teams and wagons
but men can not be had even at that
price. In fields that were flooded last
June corn will yield so bus. per acre In
fields not flooded the yield will be as
high as so bushels per acre. Farmers
both on the north and south sides of the
river in the valleys and on the upland
say that the yield of corn, except in a
few localities. will be heavy

To those who are familiar with
J. NJ. Barrie's writings and plays,
such as The Little Minister, " in
which Maude Adams scored a big
success; THE Admirable Crich-
ton, in which Charles Wyndham
made a pronounced hit in Eng
land. and 1.-The Sister Of JOSE"
which John Hare is to present
both both in London and in Amer
lea this year, the announcement
that The Professors Love
Story" this playwright's greatest
work, is to be presented here on
Monday, Nov. Is, comes as u
pleasing notice. The comedy will
be interpreted by Harry Beresford
and Il clever company, Mr.. Beres-
ford essaying the role of Professor
Goodwillie, the earnest, lovable,
if forgetful, man of science. who,
imagining he is i'll is induced to
transfer himself from his stuffy
town house to the broad fields and
the free air Of the country side.
OF course the young lady secretary
must accompany him, and while
romping through the fens and
glens and beautiful dales of Bon
ME Scotland he is beset by a dow
ager and several other females
with manageable inclinations,
but he at last discovers that the
little amenuensis is the only one
who has kindled the fires of love
in his being, and he then and
there declares his passion for her
with an ardor that would put
many younger man to blush.
With II theme of this kind much
is to be expected and much will
be given.

An Agreement Reached Between
United States and Colombia ana
Panama Canal Can BE, Bnllt.

Washington, Jan. ga treaty
with Colombia providing for the con-
struction of the Panama canal by
the United States was signed yester-
day in Washington. This deter
mines the location Of the inter-
oceanic canal at that point on the
isthmus and disposes of the Nicara-
qua canal, at least until the Panama

The treaty provides for the payment
by the United States to Colombia Of
100000 in gold and a rental of $780,
600 annually thereafter, after the ex-
piration of nine years. The lease Of a
zone six miles wide for 100 years is
granted. The United States has the
right to send troops to protect its
property in case Colombia cannot
do so.
Colon, Colombia, Jan. 24.-The news
received here that the canal treaty
between the United States and Colom-'
bia had been signed caused much jubil-
alton throughout the isthmus and
hopes are expressed that the United
States will soon begin the completion
of the canal.

A. An early test trial of some of the
cases has been arranged. for. The Of
tenders are divided into three classes
under the several indictments, and
they are held answerable to the law
which prohibits trust considerations
and combinations to regulate trade
and prices. Counts based on the stat
utes against conspiracy to restrain
trade and prohibiting blacklisting are
also included in the bills.
The defense of the men accused will
be that they have done nothing in OPP
position to the provisions of the stat
utes under which they have been
hauled into court, and they will seek
to demonstrate the unconstitutional
ity of the antitrust act if the criminal
courts adjudge them guilty on the evil
dence which was the basis of the true
bills.
