WHAT Do THE FARMERS SAY?
We would like to see a column
in a newspaper in this county
devoted to the use of the farm
ers, where they can discuss any
subject of the progress in farm
ing thoroughly. A great many
practical questions that come
up each day in Barton County
that can only be helped by the
practical experiments of the prac-
teal farmers, and their testi-
monial as to how to prepare the
ground, and when to SOW, and
the kind of seed to SOW, and the
various other questions pertain
ing to the verious crops that are
raised in this county, would be
of more value to the people in
general than the farm journals
that are published outside.
FOR INSTANCE, suppose one
week a discussion was had by
various farmers upon the soils,
and what kind of crops they are
fit to grow, and how to prepare
the soil for seeding; the next
thing to take up is the kind of
wheat to SOW, how often seed
wheat should be changed, when
to pillow, when to sod-cut, rota-
ton of the crops and the many
questions that come up in regard
to cattle, horses, butter and
cream. We say that a practical
experience of this kind would
help many along that never had
this experience and save them a
good many dollars.
| WE SAY AGAIN, why not
threw open a column in your
newspaper for the use of the
farmers, and encourage them to
take an active part in discussing
these various vital and import
ant questions. We would like to
see this column right beside our
column advertising, so that
when they read what is best to
do, read what they think is best
to farm with. OF course, we
think we have got as good as
any made when we say to you
that the Kentucky 10 disc drill
sells for $500, the Dowagiae
10 disc for $500; then we sell
the low down Hoosier disc drill,
the King disc drill, and the
Hoosier 10 and II regular disc
drills. The Thomas drill, which
is an Improvement upon all
other drills, they claim. We
would like to have you examine
them and see what you think Of
them. Any who have bought
the Hoosier have not complained
but what it is the best drill on
the market, in make, feed and
durability. We have the John
/ Deere riding and walking listers,
/ and also one or two row disc
c,lltivators.
/ THE HAPPIEST man or wo.
man is the one that feels safe
when riding out. You will al
ways feel safe when you ride in q
Moon, Velie or Deere buggy.
| WE WILL RECEIVE on next
week a very large stock of No
|quette and Velvet carpets, vii
ton and Sereband large and
small rugs. A great many are
using rugs nowadays because
they are cheaper, and it is easier
to clean the room; in fact, you
can clean the room every time
you sweep, if you want to, by
taking up the rug.
NOW WE WOULD just like tic
have you look at our new rings
as we have just got in a large
assortment and, we think, a very
elegant assortment, and prices
to suit all.
| NO MAN, BOY, WOMAN Oh
GIRL need be without an Amer
lean watch, when you can buy
lone of us for 5000, nor need any
woman complain about table
ware when she can get nice SCI
of dishes for $500, $1,000 and
/ $15. 90 of us.

We can learn from the japanese a
thing or two about stabling horses
In Japan horses are backed into their
stalls, then a door is closed at the
head, which has grain and hay rack
conveniently constructed, to which
the nag is secured When needed the
door is swung back and the horse led
forth. No one gets kicked, no ref
use matter is visible to the visitor, and
it seems to be sensible way to con-
struct a place for any horse.

A CAPABLE CROW.
He Has His Faults, But the Town L
Fond of Him.


an Easton Md letter to the Balti-
more American, is the possessor Of
tame crow which is In his way a.
unique chacacter. Dick, as he is
called, notwithstanding his mischiev-
Gus escapades and thieving atrocities,
is a universal favorite throughout the
town, and has hosts of warm friends.
One of his favorite haunts is Spring
Hill cemetery, which he visits daily.
Charles Seymour, the keeper of the
cemetery, is one of his warmest
friends, but is, nevertheless, victim
of his mischievous pranks. He has
stolen from Mr.. Seymour numerous
rules, pencils and other articles. On
one occasion he took pipe from the
pocket of his coat, and on another
gold watch from the pocket of mans
vest, which he had removed from his
person and laid on one of the graves
near by. Dick is also professional
mourner. He attends every funeral
that takes place in Spring Hill, and,
perching himself on the edge of the
open grave, remains there until the
funeral service is ended, or until the
grave is entirely closed, when he wan
ders off to look for mischief.
Another of his favorite places of
visitation is the carriage shops of
James A. Spence, where ''Dick'
Thomas and james Dillon have to
watch him constantly to prevent him
from confscating their paint brushes
and numerous other small articles.
Dick always pays friendly visits to
George M. Wilson's flour mill, but as
yet has relieved Mr.. Wilson of moth
ing more valuable than a lot of bugs
In his wheat, which he was glad to get
rid of.
This crow is to be seen almost every
morning perched somewhere along
Dover street, watching very intently
the work of laying new gas mains, and
seems very much interested in the
work He also visits daily the site
upon which the new national bank
building is being erected, and from
his apparent interest in and close
watchfulness of the work as he struts
around from one part of the building
to the other one would think he was
general superintendent of the con-
struction thereof.
The workmen have orders from the
bank officials not to modest Or injure
him in any way. Recently he went
out to Hickory Ridge farm, two miles
from town, where William Rust re-
sides, went IN the house and picked a
new stiff hat to pieces for that gen
tleman, besides tearing down a win
dow blind and stealing key.
Dick is very sensitive bird, and if
anyone does anything to hurt him
he never forgets 1t and will have moth
ing to do with him or go anywhere
near him. When night begins to
come on Dick will leave what he is
doing and make for his home before

Detectives at office Of american
Finance and Mining Company.

Tenants Of No 112 Wall-st. were astonished By a.
disturbance yesterday caused by the sudden lhNd-
sion of three detectives from Police HeaoQuaI
,nese officers demanded of the janitor the Key OF
the rooms once occupied by the American Finance
and Mining Company, a defunct 'get-rich-qulcN
scheme. The jantor refused to comply, ana Ihei'
without ado, the detectives scdleu tue me-
escape, smashed a window and entered the rooms.
They at once seized the ledgers of the concern ana
were preparing to carry them off. when the sturdy
ianitor returned % the scene, accompanied by d
policeman The policeman however afteF one glance
at the front Office men, displayed no 1urther III
terest and the detectives carried away their booty
In triumph The party consisted of Detective Ser
geants McConville Clark and Peabody, all of whom
are at present searching for w. H. Meyer, the
missing treasurer of the American Finance ana
Mining Company.
The pursuit OF Meyer, who is known to the police
under the name of Schaffer, has been going on
throughout the week, but trace of him has been
obtained. Fernando Baltes, who was president Oh
5eoree w Ieyentrtt who agrees to produce him
when is wanted by the District Attorney 5 once,
sf t6e fine ~ Morris simonds was murdered in
Chicago. on the night Of April IS he had letters
from this CITY, one of which bore the siBnalGIte
uted to Meyer the missing treasurer, who denied
sending it. Smonds, 1t was learned atteFwaId, yd6
went TO Chicago business for several sel-ricI- sei
quick concerns among them the American
that he tried to dispose OF So0VVO OF lne!
in Chicago. Simonds's body was found in the base
orally believed that he had been beaten to death;
The Investigations of the Chicago police revealed
that Simonds had registered at local hotel under
the name of E. NJ. Summers, under which name amen ne
addressed by the correspondent VINO -SISLleu
w H. NJ" It commonly believed that
Simonds had been disposed of by certain getLrleh-
quick people because they regarded the knowledge
he possessed of their affairs as too intimate for
their own safety. There was no doubt that Slmonds
was murdered.
The fact that the concern for which he then
worked has been exposed and driven out Of bust
ness, and that the officers fugittves from JUS
tice, furnishes additional interest in this unsolVed
mystery

DROWNS IN THE HUDSON
Launch of p. O. Bauer Turns
Turtle Companions SaUed.

Paul O. Bauer forty years old. an advertising
agent who had offices at No. 33 Union Square
West and lived at the River View Apartments,
No. 1908 Broadway, was drowned yesterday in
the Hudson River off One-hundred- -and-forty
third-st. His body was not recovered.
About two months ago Mr.. Bauer joined the
Audubon Yacht Club, and three weeks ago pur-
chased the 25-foot naphtha launch Columbia,
with the intention of making a trip up the
Hudson in the near future. From the first
Bauer had trouble with the engine, and yes
terday he took out with him Adolph Wilson, of
No. $40 East One hundred and thirty -ninth-st,
an engineer to try to discover just what was
the trouble with the machinery. Accompanying
them was also William Harris, colored bellboy
from the River View.
Short cruises up and down the river were
made. the launch working fairly we'll AT
length however the machinery again went
wrong. and Wilson told Mr Bauer, who was
steering, to take the boat in close to the shore.
While attempting to follow the suggestion MT
Bauer steered the launch under the oVerhans
of a scow which was moored at what is known
as the stone pier, at One-hundred- and forty
third-st The launch had a canvas sun avn
ing. and this superstructure caught the over
hang of the and caused the launch to turn
turtle The three occupants were thrown into
the river and the launch toated bottom SIDE up
Both Wilson and the cOlOred boy were able TO
swim, and kept themselves af1oat without dl11-
GUILTY Bauer could not swim, but he might have
stood good chance of escaping II ne had faIlen
into the water clear of the launch. In some
manner he became entangled in 1t and was
drowned.
After Wilson and Harris had been pulled out
of the water the launch righted, bailed out
and towed to the Audubon Yacht Club anchor
age near by. The members Of the club began a
search for the body, which they continued untl
late at night, without success. Mr. Bauer ieft
