said Nj. M. f. Carpenter, of Mexico,
Mo-, to a Kansas City paper, who is in
terested In cattle raising in Western
Kansas, and who is u OF the big
feeders in Audrain county, twill make
a good corn crop after all. The heavy
rains that we had down there last
Saturday came In the right time, and
made all the farmers feel good. Early
In the season the corn was backward
and poor, and it was predicted that
there would be less than a half crop.
But the weather became more favor
able recently, and now that we had
the rains everything has changed.
This hot weather is just the thing,
along with rain, to bring it out"

sam B. COOK RACES
T0SAVE INFANT
FAST TRIP FROM MEXICO, MIS-
SOURI,, TO ST. LOUIS
PROVES FUTILE.
GRAHDCHILD'S LIFE is AT STAKE
An Incubator Was the Only Hope,
But Secretary Of State Arrives
With the Dead Baby in
His Arms.


With the infant form of his little
grandchild In his arms, Secretary OF
State Sam B. Cook made a race from
Mexico, Mo-, with death yesterday and
lost. The Secretary Of State hurried
with the little one from its home that
it might receive the protection Of an
incubator, but within n few miles OF
the goal the child died.
The baby was the child Of Mr..
Cooks only married daughter, Fran.
ces, who is the wife Of Cassius Clay
son Of Senator Green Clay, Mexico, Mo.
1t was born yesterday morning at 4
o'clock. The attending physician de-
clared that Its chance Of life was but
slight.
Mrs. Cook suggested that the baby
incubators at the Worlds Fair offePs d
the little n a chance for its life, and
the suggestion was Immediately seized
upon by Its grandparents. Without
delay President M. T. Davis, of the
Missouri Commission, was communi-
Gated with by long-distance telephone,
and all arrangement made for receiv-
ing the little one at the incubator
hospital.
Accompanied by the attending ply
stefan, Mr.. Cook, bearing In his arms
his first grandchild, boarded a train
for St. Louis. On the train the mis-
sion Of Secretary Cook became known
and the train crew made unusual efforts
to carry the train through ahead Of
time.
The train was on the road but three
hours, but to the grandparent and the
physician the time seemed intermln-
able. But q few miles from the Wa
bash depot the little infant, which
nature had denied a fair show, breathed
its last, and when the train pulled in
to the station about 1:30 yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Cook dismounted with
the little ones body.
A portable incubator was on hand at
the station for the baby, and party Of
Mr.. Cooks friends, with several Of the
best known specialists in st. Louis,
were awaiting his arrival.

NEINAND WOUNDED
MYSTERY SURROUNDS SHOOT.
ING OF FORMER MExIcoAs
AT GLASGOW.
REPORT KILLING WAS A MISTAKE
MOT Known Whether Injury Wa.
Self Inflicted or Whether His
Wife Had a Hand In
It-Weinand Not Dis
abled by Injury.

The report Monday night that Joe
Weinand, formerly of this city, wa,
fatally shot by his wife in Glasgow
Mo-, and the second report Tuesda,
morning that Weinand had died, were
erroneous, as learned by an exchange
Of kilograms with Glasgow Tues
day.
Weinand, who formerly lived In this
city, was married to Daisy Leniton,
also from Mexico, a year or SO ago and
1t Is reported that the couple had
trouble at intervals.
A telegram to the LEDGER from w
7. Ruffel, editor Of the Glasgow Mis-.
sourian, says:
Replying to your telegam 1 will say
that there is nothing In the report
that Joe Weinand had been killed
here by his wife.
"Mr. Weinand, In some way, was
very slightly wounded by a pistol shot,
but whether the wound is the result
OF an attack from his wife, an acct
dent or was self inflicted cannot be
learned at this tine.
1.-THE accident is thought to be the
result Of a family row, but both Mr..
and Mrs. Weinand refuse to discuss
the matter, saying it is their own
affair.
