NEW CORN AND COB RECORD
Missouri Farmers Who Will Shell
Their Corn Before Selling 1t.

Missouri Farmers Who Will Shell
Their Corn Before Selling 1t.
According to good authorities, the
highest average amount of corn to the
cob that can be raised is about SO per
cent corn and II per cent cob. But the
high authorities had not heard from
Missouri when they figured up their
average, and two Cooper county farm
ers have recently made it look like 80
cents, says the Kansas City Journal.
w. J. Mcfarland of near Boonvi,le
recently weighed seventy pounds OF
corn in the ear. He then shelled the
corn and weighed corn and cobs seps
rately. The corn weighed sixty-f four
and one-half pounds and the cobs five
and one-half pounds, making 90 II per
cent corn and Z CT per cent cob. The
corn was exhibited at the Boonville
corn show. r. B. Johnston of ClarE's
Fork, who made display at the Boon
vile show Of thirty nine pounds of
corn, found after Smelling it that his
corn weighed thirty-four and ona-half
pounds and his cobs four and one-half
pounds-that is, he raised SO G-13 per
cent corn to IL 7-13 per cent cob.
In almost all the states of the Union
seventy pounds Of corn on the cob is
considered bushel and fifty-six pounds
off the cob. 1t would pay men WHO
raise such corn as do Messrs. McFar
land and Johnston to shell their corn
before selling it.

Catbirds and Black Snake.

A writer in the Scientific American
says: 81 witnessed a pair of catbirds
making bold defense against black
snake bent on devouring the contents
inclined to disregard the distressed
birds as they fought to drive it away,
but the blows Of their wings and bills
became SO annoying that the thief had
to seek refuge in fight. On reaching
the roots of the tree, from which the
river had washed the dirt, the snake
started to climb, only to be driven be-
meath them and then out to an old
stump, under which the baff1ed and
beaten reptile took refuge

THE FIRE CROWD.
q Rule 1T Likes Big Blaze and
Crashing Walls.

t'There is one curious thing connect
j with fires," said thoughtful man,
and that is the fact that while the
reman is always a hero in the public
stimate and while men and women
AVE all kinds of admiration for these
brave fellows they yet want to see
them get the worst of it in the fight
against the flames. 1t is an interesting
TACT that the average man and woman
are not at all anxious to see the firemen
get the fire under control. They would
much rather see the flames spread I'M
til the affair developed into an inn
mense confag grafton. Mind you, the
trait is not at all vicious. There is no
malice in it. 1t is simply the love Of
excitement and adventure, things that
are so deep rooted in human nature
that we may not control them at Will.
Besides, we want to develop our he
rOeS to the limit. We want our fire
men to fight good fight against long
odds and under great difficulties. We
cannot quarrel with this feeling in the
human makeup After all, it is what
one may call the poetry of human ma
ture, and without it this old system of
ours would be dull and prosaic indeed.
OF course, you will always find a few
persons around a fire who are directly
concerned in the fight the firemen are
making. They want to see the flames
put out In the case of some of the
spectators it means bread and meat
1t means the loss of a position or may
Oe the loss of home. But l was speak
ing of the vast majority of men and
women who gather to witness fire.
The fire is the thing with them. They
want to see a big blaze and hear the
crash of the walls and all that sort of
thing. Did you ever take the trouble
to analyze a fire crowd? In the first
place an alarm of fire will draw a
crowd quicker than anything in the
world. Whenever the bells begin to
clang and the engines go rushing down
the street you will see men, women and
children rushing this way and that in
order to see as much as may be seen
Of the fire and fire fighters. The hour
of day or night does not make so much
difference. The crowd will get there
in some way and for some reason,
though the great majority Of the per-
sons have no sort of interest other than
idle curiosity. Once on hand, they
want to see good fire, and that's why
I say they want to see the flames get
the best of the firemen They will go
away and talk about what game fight
the fire laddies made Human nature
is curious thing, is it not?'-New Or

The Useful Banana.

Immense fortunes have been made
out of the banana business. Revenues
do not accrue alone from the sale of the
fruit, for the leaves are used for pack
ing, the wax found on the underside
Of the leaves Is valuable article Of
commerce, Manila hemp is made from
the stems, and of this hemp are made
mats, plated work and lace handker-
chiefs of the finest texture. Moreover,
the banana is ground into banana -four.
The island of Jamaica and the West
Indies generally yield great crops Of
this useful fruit.

INDIGNANT AMERICAN PRELATES BLAME CARDINAL FOR OR. DER FROM ROME FORBID DING COLLEGIATE COURSES IN CATH
 OlIC UNIVER-
 SiTY.

Washington. Friday.-A remarkable order just received from Rome, which forbids the opening of collegiate courses at the Catholic University, is being discussed by the trustees of that institution. The meeting at which the collegiate courses were decided upon was called by Cardinal Gibbons. who
 is chancellor. and was attended by Archbishops Ryan, of Philadelphia, , Farley of New York, Riordan of San Francisco. Ireland of St. Paul, and , Bishops Spalding of Peoria, Macs of Mgr O'Connell. the rector of the uni versity. The order from Rome places i the trustees in an awkward position because by their direction the rector
 and faculty had prepared schedule of studies to be offered next year. and , had embodied these in a pamphlet. ot
 which thousands of copies already had been distributed.
 At the University it is freely stated
 that the project has received its death blow, and this direct interference of
 the Vatican with purely American af-
 fairs has aroused a spirit of resent
 ment, even among the most consery-
 alive prelates. There is free criti- cism of the cardinal secretary of state.
 Merry Del Val, who is a Spaniard, and
 ever since the war with Spain has been
 bitter enemy of everything Ameri- can. Several times he has attacked
 Mgr Ireland and indirectly placed Car
 dinal Gibbons in an embarrassing po-
 sition.
 Cardinal Satolli's visit to this coun- try will add fuel to the fire. for it is known that he comes to carry out
 certain policies recommended to the
 new pontiff by Cardinal Merry Del Val. Those who are well informed predict the upheaval will result in the church in the United States obtaining what 1t always has desired-a cardinal in the curia to look after it's interests
 The hierarchy will take steps to make
 this demand, showing the utter confu- sion and loss to religion if things con
 tinue in the present way. namely. when prelates known to be hostile to Amer
 ican interests, as Cardinals Merry Del Val and Satolli are supposed to be. are placed in charge of the American af- fairs

 Douglas, Friday.-Another victim of caEelessness in boarding a train lies cold and stiff in the undertaking par lors here today in the person of Philip Jordan, who died at the Hctel Queen this morning at 3:15 from a fractured skull sustained while trying to catch Q freight on the curve west of Playas at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 Jordan, in company with a compan- ion named c. B. Fanchon, was beating his way over the road in search of work. The two had been at Hachita several days, and yesterday morning started for Paradise on a report that employment could be found there in the mining camp. They were ditched by the crew at Playas, however. They stayed there until yesterday after noon, when the freight in charge of Conductor Kendrick came along. It was while engaged in boarding this train for Rodeo that the deceased met his death
 According to the story told by Fan chon they tried to catch the train On the curve a mile and a half west of the station. The freight came along at the rate of twenty miles an hour, faster than Jordan calculated, and when he caught the ladder on the side Of box car he was swung off his feet and thrown head forward. striking the big bolt under the boxing He would save fallen under the wheels had il

Rangers Capture
 Mexican RuStIer
RANGER BROOKS GETS THE PART NER OF ALVoRD AND STILES. IS A CATTLE AND HORSE THIEF cONFEsSES
 TO STRING OF
 CRIMES.

Yesterday Captain Thomas Ryn- ming. of the rangers, was in town after coming in from a long trip through the San Pedro valley.
 He said that the Mexican who mad been with Alvord and Stiles after their jail break is now prisoner.
 The Mexican has for years been gathering a big bunch of horses and cattle by the ''rustling" method.
 Ranger Brooks made the capture near Patagonia, and identified the last bunch of horses, and one COW, which the horse thief had stolen. When the hombre saw that it was all up with him he confessed to a string of crimes of horse stealing that was a surprise even to the old time officer who captured him.
 Thinking to protect himself the Mexican gave Lieut.. Brooks the pow CT Of attorney. and turned over to him all the stolen stock he had in his pos session. telling where he did the rustling, and gave the brands and and owners names of the stolen stock. This confession puts in the hands of the officers evidence which will send the rustler over the read for some time, and removes from the country one of the most dangerous Mexicans in Southern Arizona The rangers deserve great credit for rounding up this notorious thief, and he will prcSa- bly, get his" when he gets into court.
