A Lincoln special says: The corn yield

to 90 bushels per acre and is considered

the work of some of the huskers. Near
Fairbury H. A Day made Il bet with
Louis Loubin that he could husk 6J
bushels of corn in ten hours. He won
easily, as he husked 10 bushels in the al
lotted time. Ben Fisher. q young Bohe-
milan farmer near Barneston. Neb., wag-
cred that he could huSk 100 bushels of
corn in one day. His opponent dropped
out OF the race at ; o'clock in the after
noon, when Fisher had completed 143
bushels. Fisher declares that he could
have husked 10 bushels had he worked
until sunset. Harley Herald, of Chester,
claims to be the champion corn husker of
his county. He husked and cribbed for
David Duey 1900 bushels III twenty-one
days. In one day he husked 1876 bushels.

MRS. ROGERS HANGED
YOUNG WOMAN PAYS PENALTY
FOR HER CRIME.
Condemned Woman Appeared to Be
Calmer Than Any Person in the
Party That Witnessed the Execu-
ton at Windsor.

Mrs. Rogers was hanged at Windsor,
VT, Friday afternoon. The drop fell at
lib. Mrs. Rogers was officially pro-
nounced dead by the prison officials at
1:271a.
Only comparatively few persons wit
messed. the hanging, the number being re-
stricted to those permitted to attend by
fhe laws of Vermont.
Mrs. Rogers maintained her composure
to the last and mounted the gallows with
a steady step, although a deathly pallor
overspEead her countenance. Hardly a
muscle quivered as Deputy Sheriff Spaf-
ford pronounced the fatal words, 81 now
proceed to execute the sentence Of the
law, and may God have mercy on your
SOUL" When the words had been pro-
nounced the deputy sprung the trap and
the drop fell.
There were no sensational incidents in
connection with the hanging.
Although the woman was not officially
pronounced dead until fourteen minutes
and thirty seconds after the trap was
sprung, she evidently suffered no pain.
Her neck was broken at the second GER
vical vertebrate and she lost consciousness
instantly the drop fell. \ few feeble,
conyulsive movements Of her pinioned
hands were the only evidences that vital
ity had survived the first shock.
The drop fell at 1:13 o'clock p. m. and
Mrs. Rogers was pronounced dead by
the attendant physician at 1:271la o'clock.
The woman's feet barely touched the floor
Tor an instant, but the deputies on the
platform Of the scaffold Immediately
frightened the rope and raised the uncon-
scious form a couple of inches.
Up to within three hours of her death
that she would not be executed. 1t was
shortly after 10 o'clock Friday morning
when she was informed that Gov. Bell
had denied her q third reprieve, the final
effort for which was made by Mrs. Rog-
ers' attorneys.
At LOG the death march was begun.
Down three fights of stairs from Mrs.
Rogers cell in the central section Of the
prison the procession wendell its way.
Through the great guard room and into
the west wing, where the gallows had
been erected, down another fight of steps,
across a short space of brick floor and
the foot of the scaffold was reached.
Holding her head high, Mrs. Rogers
never faltered for al instant as her eyes
rested on the scaffold. Unaided she
mounted the steps, walked on to the trap
and then seated herself in a chair. A
moment later she rose, having declined an
sffer by the authorities to make state
ment
