WHY CLARK is HAPPY.
Wheat Prospects in the West the
Incentive.

Judge Ansel R. Clark of Rice coun-
ty, which raised "a million bushels
of wheat in 1904, was in Topeka Wed
nesday attending The meeting of the
advisory board on the state accountant
matter He is jubilant over the out
look for the wheat crop. He said to-
day:
1.-The outlook for wheat in my coun-
ty never was better; the wheat seems
to be in perfect condition, and the
finer to look at than the big fields Of
winter VIII eat. They are rich and
luxuriant, and the present run of COOL
damp weather is bringing them out
in splendid shape"
Judge Clark himself owns a num-
Der of wheat farms, and is naturally
much interested in the development Of
the crop.
The report issued by Secretary Co
burn on April showed that the pres
ent wheat acreage of the state is
5,712000 This does not include 1914
900 acres which have been plowed up
because of dry weather last fall. Many
of the counties of the state on April 8
reported the condition of the crop to
be over 100, and that was before the
splendid run of wheat weather
struck the state with full force.
Cool moist weather at this stage of
the development of the crop gives the
VIII eat plant a chance to send its roots
deep down INTO the edTlns ana get d
good grip on the soil. It also increases
the growth of the foliage at a rapid
rate. With such a start, the wheat is
in better shape to resist adversely
later on. and is prepared to make the
most of all favorable climatic eondi-
tons
When the wheat reaches the stage
where heading is about to begin, sun
shine is desirable. ipterspersed with
some rain. Sunshine is necessary to
drive away rust and mould. But the
cool weather now prevailing through
out the state gives the wheat good
start over all insect enemies. and can
continue for some time longer without
any injury to the crop.
A stafford county paper contains a
little item showing that in 1904 the
county produced 1875 bushels of
wheat for every family of five in the
county. At a price of IS cents
bushel. this would mean an income Of
over $1,000 for every family from
wheat alone This year the indica-
tons are that Stafford county will
break even this wonderful record. The
report of April s showed that the
wheat crop is in good shape there, and
the next report viii very likely in
crease the prospects for immense har-
vests.

HOT ONE FOR CARNEGIE.
Duke Of Manchester Replies to Iron
Masters Comments.

New York, April 27.-The Duke ar
Manchester. who is staying in town a
few days before returning to England.
vas asked if he had noticed Andrew
Carnegie's comparison of dukes and
coachmen in connection with the mar
rage of his niece, Miss Nancy Car
negie, to James HEAVIER, formerly a
groom in the family.
Il was much edited by Mr.. Car
negies announcement that he pre-
ferred a coachman to a duke as a
nephew-in-law." replied the duke.
Perhaps, all things considered. it is
more appropriate. For once [ am able
to compliment Mr.. Carnegie on his
sense of fitness It is, suppose. the
conditions in Great Britain that have
compelled him to attempt to reconcile
a democratic mind with a BODY living
in a feudal castle, surrounded bv more
than feudal luxury.
81 only wonder that he has not ere
now carried out the feudaI idea. of
presiding at common table with his
whole household. For, surely. one
cannot wish ones relatives to marry
a class of people whom one is not will
ing to ask to ones own table. Do not
misunderstood me. Mrs. HEAVIER has
married the man she loves, which is
the only proper and right marriage for
a girl to make, and I believe it is the
kind the lovely and intelligent Amer
lean girl nearly always does make"

them he had been subject to attacks
of kidney trouble for years, in fact,
ever since he left the army. The pains
across the small OF his back were at
times so severe that he could scarcely
walk, could not sit still nor rest at
night. He doctored a great deal but
without obtaining more than tempo

different. They promptly and thor
oughly relieved him of all his suffer-

WILL DODGE THE TAX.
Stock Exchange Has Filed a Charter
in New Jersey.

New York. April Considerable
interest has been created hero by the
incOrp at Trenton of the New
Jersey Stock Exchange While the
new concern admittedly has Tor its
object the evasion of the stock trans
fer tax law just passed by the New
YORK legislature, the identity of the
interests behind the scheme can not
be learned.
The incorporators' names give no
clue as they are merely employees of
a trust company in East Orange. It
is reported, however, that persons
identified with two large financial in
stitutions in New York are prominent
i'm the move in connection with other
New York city and New Jersey
financial men, whose identity will be
disclosed later.
Membership in the exchange will
not, according to present plans, be
confined to representatives Of any
single board in this city, as had been
suggested when the scheme was first
preached. Hence the attitude of the
New York stock exchange is awaited
with considerable interest rs that
body has strenuous rules against its
members having anything to do with
houses trading on certain other ex-
changes and has vigorously enforced
these rules from time to time.
There is nothing in the constitution
of the stock exchange. however, to
prevent its members belonging to an
exchange in another state, even If
there be only a river between the two
boards. Members of both the New
York stock exchange and the Con-
sOlidated stock exchange belong to the
Philadelphia exchange and to the
Chicago board of trade, so the back
ers of the new Jersey exchange be-
change viii not forbid dealings there
by its members.

tive point. It has been learned that he

year the assessment was delayed.
But it is not" came back the an

brothers misdeed. Straightway he went
to the Office of the mayor and told the
tale. Mayor Schmitz wasted no time
but Immediately communicated with
the sheriff and chief of police. Smith
has six days start with his money. The
mayor has formally suspended Smith
from. the Office and appointed James
Mckay, chief bookkeeper to be in tenn
porary charge.
According to May or Schmitz a short
age of 1885,. 600 in the accounts Of Tax
Collector Smith was discovered in
April. 1904. This, the mayor says, was

about $500 900 worth of securities and
then made the shortage good in money.
