BIG YlELDs OF CORN.
Some Corn Fields In sherman VIII Make
Forty Bushels Per Acre

some Corn Fields IN Sherman VIII Make
Forty Bushels Per Acre
That Sherman county is going to
record a corn crop this year, the equal
Of which viii be hard-to find IN the
more favored counties toward the
east, there IS no longer any doubt. The
successive rains that have visited west
ern Kansas have in some localities
taken IN certain areas every time, and
in those particular spots the corn crop
has never suffered for want of moisture.
Perhaps the north part of the county
has been the most fortunate this year.
William CaIlow, who was IN town Tues
day, made special mention of the fine
corn that is to be seen around the neigh
borhOod. He reports that Peter Tritch-
berger says that he would have two
thousand bushels of corn from the acre
age he has out this year. Mr.. CallOw
did not say just to the acre the
amount of corn Tritchberger has out,
but It IS perhaps in the neighbOrhOod
OF fifty acres. Counting then 1000
bushels from so acres, that would make
the yield 40 bushels to the acre. Mr..
Callow himself viii have a good crop
of corn, but It failed to get a rain OF
two that blessed some Of his neighbOrs.
Another exceptional instance of a
promised big yield is on the ]. J. Knight
place in the northeast part of this
county. Mr.. Knight, who is the present
= -
made personal inspection OF his corn
crop and says that there is no doubt in
his mind that he will have at least a
thousand bushels from his fifty acre
tract Of coTn-this in the face Of the
fact that at one time the corn was in
jured somewhat by a spell of dry
weather.
One thing that can be truthfuIly said
Of Sherman county is, that she is self
supporting and more. If this county
were isolated from the rest of the world,
its people could live in comfort. They
would have the best -four in the world;
would have Ebetter corn-fed beef than
big John Bull delights in; potatoes,
various kinds of garden truck. apples,
cherries and peaches, would also grace
the tables Of the people, while with a
little extra effort many could be sup
piled with strawberries in early summer.
Kansas people. are intelligent and great
readers of newspapers. About the only
hardship now, If they were cut of from
the outside world in this part of the
country, would be the absence of news
from the far east where the little Jap IS
climbing up the leg Of the big Russian
and putting faces on the enemy.

What VIII the outcome of the Rock
Island-Frisco situation?
That is the question which is being
frequently asked nowadays. It is the
Opionion of conservative, railway men
that the continuation for a short time
longer of the administration of the at
fairs of the Rock Island as they have
been conducted during the past three
years can have but one result-the rev
Olution of the affairs of the company.
The Rock Island system consists up
wards of y, 900 miles of railway. The
lines included Z the system are the
Rock Island lines proper; the Rock Is
land and EI Paso; Rock Island and
Texas; Choctaw; Frisco; st. Louis,
Kansas City and Colorado; the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois, and various other
short small lines
Income of the Rock Island for the
year, as estimated from the monthly
statements, was about as follows:
Isl, 900
Other income 1,350,OOO
Total net-----------------SI3, IO7, 900
Charges and rentals ------- 10. 557 800
Surplus 2, s49, 200
Preferred dividend 1,95O,OO0
This balance amounts to about OF
per cent. on the SS8, 754, 900 of common
stock outstanding.
The surplus after payment of all
charges amounts to 5 per cent. on the
Preferted stock outstanding.
As compared with last year the show
ing is decidedly unfavorable. The
earnings on the common in 1903
amounted to about 6 per cent.
Including the equity of the company
in Frisco stock the value behind Rock

shows about as follows:

The ''Colored Jubilee Singers, two
in number at the opera house Tuesday
and Wednesday nights, under the
management of the LANG Bros, drew
a big crowd the first night, but the
second performance was pretty thinly
attended. It was a second class enter
tainment, and most of the people were
disappointed. Prof. Kennedy as a
singer is almost absolutely without
voice, and his cO-worker, Madame
Silvars, will never interest a musicaliy
cultured people. The stereOPticOn
work was fair. GoOdland people don't
like to be barn stormed' when they
pay for something better.

States bordering OF New York, be-
sides the certainty of his capturing
California and several OF the abso!u-
te.v necessary Western States and
! it IS even considered BY wise poll
ticians, that Mr.. Hearsts chances
would be most excellent, even
though New York should be carried
by the Republican candidate, which
would not be at all likely. But how
ever that might be, there IS no can
didate whose loyalty to true Demo-
cratic principles appeals more
strongly to Southern democrats than
does that of William Randolph
Hearst, and from what we can learn
of Mr.. Hearst's strength in the
South, there seems to be no ques-
ton that he will sweep this section
overwhelmingly. His great papers
have been fighting the battles OF the
South; every important problem
affecting the peoples prosperity
has been dealt with ably, boldly,
and fairly. His Journalistic ability
has long since won for him e nation
al reputation, but just now it is his
Individual worth that is being rec
ognzed and appreciated in the Sub
stantial form of practical politics.
The agitation by the friends OF
Mr.. Hearst is not of recent develop
ment in the South, as he has for
several months been the leading and
favorite candidate for the Presiden-
cy, and this choice springs from the
very heart Of the masses in recognl-
ton of his splendid services in the
cause of Democracy and his fight
against every Republican engine OF
oppression. And the people may
expect an able champion in their
behalf in the nomination Of Mr..
Hearst-one in whom there is no
let up, nosurrender, until the battle
for the people is won.

New York Editor.


ing the name of this or that man as
a suitable or logical Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, and
emphasizing the political expedi-
ency of nominating him at the next
National Democratic Convention,
from all over the country, and es.
pecially in this State, comes the
news that Representative Hearst IS
practically without competitor in
the race for the highest nationa!
honors. But the most encouraging
sign that the Democratic masses are
still true to the first principles Of
true Jefersonian Democracy IS the
fact that the great body of the COM
mon people naturally turn toward
William R. Hearst, the untiriag
'expounder of o!d- ting Jefersouian
doctrine. His democracy is IN
challenged, and his soundness on all
party questions and Oh all the issues
that make for the betterment ofthe
people is acknowledged even by his
!, political enemies; and in every posi-
ton in which he has, been placed
, his political course in the past has
!. been and is now one Of intense
devotion and loyalty to the masses
at large. And it was in recognition
of this devotion and loyalty, in
working for the interest Of all the
!: people the. the great labor vote in
sthe city of New York elected him
to Congress by an overwhelming
majority ov.1 his Republican COM
petitor. Although possessed of
much wealth. Mr.. Hearst, like
Thomas Jefferson, has usedsnot only
his talents and tireless industry in
the cause of the people, but has
expended his wealth, not IN the
promotion of trusts and commercial
grinding of the citizens of this
great country, but rather has he
spent it freely, lavishly in the pro-
stection of the people against the
sencroachment of trusts and every
species of oppression that preyed
npon the substantial prosperity and
happiness of the people. Even now
Mr.. Hearst is fighting the battle of
.our people against criminal trusts,

he is at the same time popular in
the South. His unalloyed patrlo-
tism and love of the people are not
