Corn Stolen.

Last week some honest" crca-
ture borrowed couple OF bushels
Of unshelled corn from the corn
crib of the st. Wenccslaus Recto-
ry, but forgot 10 leave his calling
card. Evidently this creature who
shuns Daylight was very hungry
TO resort 10 such food. Ergo. If
he will call again lin propria per-
soma" he may get some hay fer
stimulation and if caught, several
years in the pen" for commemo-
ration. The town authorities have
the perpetrator spotted and could
point at him with their indcxcr.
Why steps to his arrest have not
been taken lies in the fact that no
enc seen him or caught him in
the act, and IN this case it would
be hard matter 10 drag him INTO
court before a Justice. Neverth,
less, the town authorities are de-
cidcd TO interfere and put n dras-
tic. but effective, stop to this
scandalizing of the whole town
If not, Hungry Jack" will be
promptly tarred and feathered
and will be ordered TO leave town
Immediately.

HOW TO HOLD A HUSBAND.

The best known guide to married happi
ness is to hold the husband as you won the
lover--by c~heerfulness of disposition, pa
thence and keeping your youthful looks.
OF course a great many women are handi-
capped by those ills to which women are
heir. The constantly recurring troubles
which afiict her are apt to- cause a sour
disposition, nervousness and a beclouded
mind.
DIR. R.V. Pierce, the specialist in wornan's
diseases, of Buffalo, N. ", after a long ex.
perience in treating such diseases, found
that certain roots and herbs made into
a liquid extract, would help the majority
Of cases. This he called DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription. Thousands of women
nave testified to Its merits, and it is put
up in shape TO be easily procured and
is sold by all medicine dealers. This is
a potent tonic for the womauly system.
So much faith has DR.. Pierce in its merits
thai he offers $500 reward for any case of
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, P~rolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which he cannot
cure. All he asks is a fair and reasonable
trial of his means Of cure.
Mrs. T. Doian, of Madrid, Perkins Co, Nebr.,
writes Ell was cured of painful periods by the
use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and
his Compound Extract of Smart-Weed. think
DR., Pierce's medicines the best in the world

women strong, sick women well. Accept

wonders for weak women.

IF it is true that, by cutting the
corn Immediately after the first dam
aging frost, the greater part Of the
corn will be matured from the stalk,
it means a great deal to our farmers
in a short season An instance of
this occurred last fall near Lake
Henry. Two brothers ARE farming
side by side; the soil in each corn
field had been titled the same mum
Der Of years, the laud was on the
same level and had the same slope,
the corn was planted at the same
time and with seed from the same
field, purchased by both at the same
time, and the two crops had equal
attention during the growing season..
The first killing frost caught both
fields before the ears had matured.
One went into his field with a corn
binder and had his crop in the shock
three days after the frost. This man
has good corn, nearly all of it hard
and sound and fit to crib to stand
for years, while the one who left the
corn standing in the field had moth.
ing but soft corn. Others say they
have seen corn saved by immediate
cutting after the first killing frost.
This writer knows nothing about it
from personal experience, but, if it
be true that cutting at once after
the first killing frost will save the
ordinary field ofcorn that only lacks
a few days of mat uring, it will be
worth an i~ncalculable sum to the
farmers in this section. However
short the season may be, our corn
usua lly lacks only a few days Of
reaching full maturity and sneh q
method, il il is true, would insure a
reasonably fair corn crop every year.
Certain it is that by cutting the corr
there is at least a half, il not two
thirds, of the fod Ter saved TO the
farmer, besides giving him a chan ce
to haul the corn to the barn and husk
it under cover at his leisure during
the winter mouths The matter is
worthy Of attention aud Investigation
by those In Interested in corn.

KENTUCKY
MAY ADD
DIAMONDS
To Her Other Products Of
Fast Horses and Fair
Women

New York, Sept. 13.-David Draper
an expert diamond prospector, who has
visited this country in the interest OF
an English syndicate, is in this city at
present, investigating the situation of
the American market in diamonds and
other precious stones. He has just re-
turned from a prospecting tour which
took him through Kentucky and sew.
eral other districts in the South. He
made a careful inspection Of the dis.
trict between Ison and Creeches creeks,
Elliott county, KY, and says that sur
face borings showed that stratum Of
Kimberlite is close to the surface. Kim.
berlite is the diamond bearing stratum
which has yielded such enormous wealth
Of diamonds in South Africa. There
are, in his opinion, also strong indica.
tions of garnets, filmenite, olivine, dop.
side and mica. In his preliminary sur.
face work he did not find any diamonds,
but he is inclined to believe that there
may be diamond bearing deposits in
that district.
Mr.. Draper does not consider IL at All
strange that no diamonds have, so far,
been found in that district, as the sur.
face Is covered with a thick growth Of
vegetation. He points to the fact that
many Of the mines in the Transvaal
were discovered only after twenty-five
years Of prospecting, although it was
evident to mining experts that dia.
monds existed there. In his opinion
there is no reason why the deposits in
Kentucky should not bear just as large
and fine gems as those in South Africa
and says that the cost Of mining would |
be a great deal cheaper in Kentucky |
than in South Africa. A yield Of only
1--WE carats per load would be suihcient
10 make diamond mining in Kentucky
paying.
Mr., Draper expects to meet the mem.
oers Of the syndicate in London about
.wo weeks hence and will probably ad.
rise them to have expensive borings
md Investigations made by competent
diamond prospectors. He thinks Il
yould cost about 100000 to explore
he district and that II would require
bout two years time to complete the
work.
