FERROUS Crime. -.
New Ulm, Mimi, Nov. s.-Dr. L. A
Gebhard, young dentist, was found
brutally murdered, lying in pools of
blood in his Office about 10 p. m.
A blood stained hammer and a knife
were found near him; furniture was
smashed and blood was sprinllled all
over the room, indicating a terrible
struggle. The safe was open, but moth
ing seemed to have been taken.
Noise was heard in the room by 9TH
ers in the building, but it was attrib-
uted to the moving of furniture. A
visitor to DR.. Gebhard's Office found
him.
The murderer was evidently fright
ened away, for his escape had been
made by jumping through screen
window.
The mystery surrounding the affair
is further increased by the high stand
ing, popularity and success of the muir
dered man.

Use HOMEGROWN SEED.

One weakness of the farmer is to
get his seed away from home. 1t Is
perfectly proper to test new varieties
and to try seeds grown away from
home in n different SOIL But 1t is too
great q risk to plant the entire crop
from imported seed. Many new crops
do we'll when they become accustomed
to the soil and climate, yet when first
introduced they make somewhat
feeble growth. The Southern cowpea
is gradually moving northward. The
sweet potato, sorghum cane and others
of our most useful plants are natives
of other climes and are excellent eX-
amples of the plastic nature Of plants
when grown under varying conditions,
and of their peculiar habit of fitting
themselves to shorter summer. The
winter oat and crimson clover are
rather new crops that bid fair to be-
come acquainted and contented with
Northern climate.
The seed corn should come from 4
neighbOring farm, Where 1t has been
carefully grown and cared for. Its
habits and its record as a yielder are
known. If seed corn is to come from
home, usually tn Northern-grown IL
more satisfactory, because it is almost
sure to mature its grain before frost.
Southern seed spends much time and
energy in growing stalk and foliage.
Should the frost appear little early
an immature crop is harvested. The
Northern seed may grow little ahead
of the season. but the grain is mature
and every year the growing plant slow
ly fits itself to the longer growing sea-
son.-Indianapolis News.

ject and bad 5000 copies circulated in

his own li.tle daughters feet unbound,

ing the practice, and caused it to be
circulated. The missionaries give
constant aid and encouragement to
the movement, and at a meeting in
the chapel Of the American MethOdists

Of jewels and art objects. A furious

Der managed to smash the watchman's

ings. His name is Mare Richard, but

WOMEN IN POLITICS.
Startling Assertions Made Regarding
Fraudulent Voting.

The caustic criticisms evoked by Ger.
tain recent disclosures of the fraudu'
lent voting among women In Colorado
called out, as was to have been expect
ed, many replies from the advocates or
the ballot for women, some of them
having held high places In the several
organizations Of women favoring the
measure.
There is in some of these replies
curiously indignant tone that reminds
one OF the plea Of the chorus singer
against the conductors reproof for
dragging the time, that he was "only
one beat behind" The apologists seem
to think the frauds ought to be for
given because men have been guilty
Of bigger ones.
One apologist complains that critics
seem to think that the frauds are "of
ordinary occurrence II any precinct"
whereas they were mainly In districts
where the majority Of the women are

spcctiblc." She seems unconscious also

1t is matter CT open assertion in
Colorado that women who would be by

the places where "thcso women live,

panied them to tie polls and then re-
turned them to their dwelling places.
