The farmer must be as much of BUSH
ness man as the man who runs alarge
wholesale establishment, and he cannot
get away from methods employed by the
successful men in other lines of business.
The most notable lacking on the farm
which is present in all business houses,
is system. The farmer may have a def
mite routine of work, but should have
system of bookkeeping and take into
account every item of profit and loss.
He will'thus be able to eliminate from yea
to year his improbable crops and let
them be grown by the farmer that can
make profit out of them. Such a sys-
tenn would add millions every year to
the profits of our farms.-Ex.

Southwest Offers Best Oppor-
tunities for Securing
Homes.

Many farmers in the northern
and eastern states are selling their
high priced lands and locating in
the southwest. Many who have
been unable to own their homes in
the older country are buying land
in the new country.
Unusual opportunities exist along
the lines of the Missouri Pacific
Iron Mountain Route. The rich,
alluvial, delta lands and river bot
toms lands of Southeast Missouri,
Eastern Arkansas, Louisiana and
Texas, capable of producing 90
bushels of corn, a bale of cotton,
4 to tons of alfalfa, 50 bushels of
potatoes, and other grains, vege-
tables and hay crops, can be bought
for $3.50 to $500 per acre. When
cleared and slightly improved will
rent for $4.00to 5000 per acre cash.
Uplands more rolling, lighter soil,
adapted to fruit growing-peaches,
pears, plums, grapes, berries-also
melons, tomatoes and other veges
tables, can be bought for $500 to
$1,000 per acre in unimproved state.
Many places with small clearings
and some Improvements can be
bought very cheap.
This if fine stock country. No
long winter feeding. Free range,
pure water, mild climate. A healthy
growing country, with great
future.
Write for map and descriptive
literature on Missouri, Arkansas,
Louisiana, Texas, Kansas or Indian
Territory. Very cheap rates on

ACCUSE MEXICAN
OF INCENOIAR|SM
Roomlng House Proprietor Says Man
Probably Used Fire to Cover
Up Tracks of
Theft

With bed clothing in his hands, few
feet from a burning coal oil lamp
Ramon Cos, Mexican, was arrested by
Patrolman Jack Murphy late last night
at the Hoffman house, 419 North Main
street, and taken to the central station,
where he was booked on suspicion, the
supposition being that the man had set
fire to the building.
When the alarm was turned in Pa
trolman Murphy and Acting Sergeant
Mcdowell ran to the third floor of the
building where the flames were seen,
and in the room adjoining the one
where the fire was burning Cos stood
with clothing in his hands, and was at
tempting to gather up some small
things in the room.
After the fire was out the man was
brought to the central station, but did
not admit having started the fire or
having attempted to steal anything
from the building.
The proprietor of the lodging house
said the Mexican did not have a room
in the building, and the suppostion is
that the man was in the building,
where he had probably stolen some
things of value, and had set fire to the
room to cover up any trace of theft.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, June 11.-Death and dis
ease have laid their hands on the
graduating festivities of the senior class
of the Northwestern university.
Two members have died within a
short time. one is dying, two Others
have been sent away with nervous
prostration and twenty-seven are Sc
verely ILL.,
Some of the conspicuous instances of
the misfortune of the senior class of
1876 persons show: oliver S. Hubbard,
president of the class, died a short
time ago from typhoid fever; Miss
Emma, Theodore Patten, one of the
most popular co-eds and daughter of
the acting president, died a week ago
from blood poisoning.
r. Hojo, Japanese students who won

have devoted themselves to their work
in the last few months with such seri-
BUSINESS that their health has failed.

KERN RIVER IS
AGAIN BOOMING
If Present Floods Continue Bakers.
field Citizens Fear That Large
Property Losses Will
Result
BY Associated Press.


BAKERSFIELD, June 1.-THE Kern
river is booming again. At noon today
the measurement at the canyon showed
six feet ten and a half inches. which
is only three and a half inches below
the high water mark of May.
At o'clock the water was station
ary and a further rise is not antici-
pated until tomorrow, when the effect
of today's heat upon the snow will
again send the measurement upward.
Saturday the rise was one-fourth of
an inch an hour and Sunday there
was a decline for a few hours; then
the increase began again and by night
fall the water at Jewett lane was a
little lower than it was on that dan
gerous Saturday night in May when
Bakersfield was in such a precarious
position.
If the rise continues tomorrow as
it has for the past forty-eight hours
the volume of water is likely to ex-
ceed that at the highest flood period
in May, and the town will again be
in serious danger. The flood now is at
tributed to the melting of the snow
in the higher altitude, reports from
Kernville being to the effect that the
weather is very warm there.

ADMITS ROBBING
HIS BENEFACTOR
WAITER coNFESSES BEING AN
MIGRATE
Takes Friends Money After Being
Fed and Housed - Now In
Jail Charged With Grand
Larceny

After he had been befriended and
given money by j. A. Sharps, a waiter
by the name of r. r. Grover is said
to have stolen $50 from his benefactor.
The man was arrested early yesterday
afternoon by Detectives Mckenzie and
Mcnamara and at the central sta
ton admitted that he had taken the
money from his roommate.
Three weeks ago Sparks met this
waiter and at that time it is said
Grover was out of money and had no
place to sleep. Sparks felt sorry for
the young fellow and asked him to
share a room at 759 Wall street.
June 10 Sparks missed $50 and the ac-
tions of the waiter aroused his sus-
picions, so he asked the police to look
into the affair When Grover was ar
rested he deposited $55 in coin in the
rear of the closet at the rooming house.
This money was found by detectives
today and when the man was told the
money had been found he broke down
and admitted the theft.
The charge against the man is grand
larceny.

WOMAN CHARGES
SERIOUS OFFENSE
SAYS HUSBAND THREATENED
TO MURDER HER
Detectives Arrest Accused Man After
Hard struggIe-OffIcer Assert
Prisoner Is an HabituaI Abb
sinthe Drinker

Charged with having threatened to
kill his wife, Howard Metcalf was ar
rested after hard struggle early yes
terday evening at his residence, 2123
Sunset boulevard. The man was
brought to the city Jail, where he was
held, charged with threats to kill and
murder his wife.
Three days ago Metcalf is said to
have criminally assaulted his wife, Sc
riously injuring her arm, and at that
time he is said to have threatened to
kill the woman.
Thinking her life endangered she
swore out a complaint and a warrant
was issued for Metcalf's arrest. Detec-
tives Mckenzie and Mcnamara were
detailed to arrest the man and left the
central station shortly after o'clock.
When they arrived at the home of the
Metcalfs they saw the man leave the
house, running toward a next door
neighbor. The officers followed and
the man returned to his own home,
where he attempted to hide in the cell
lar. When Mcnamara told the man to
throw up his hands, the officers say,
the man attempted to reach for his hip
pocket, then the Officers rushed on him,
knocking him to the ground and hand
cutting him after a struggle.
At the central station Metcalf ap-
peared to be a meek sort of a prisoner,
and officers said the man was an
absinthe habitue. Bail was fixed at
$1,000, and Metcalf being unable to fur
nish that amount languished in the Jail
over night
When seen late last night Mrs. Met
calf said: my husband is of an erratic
disposition. He has treated me cruelty
for some time. The last time he nearly
broke my arm and at that time he said
he would kill me. / then swore out the
complaint for his arrest.
THE only reason know for his treat
ing me so is because he thought l
would get divorce from him. We have
been married six years, and our mar
ried life has not been happy. My hus-
band Is a brakeman"

PASSENGERS TAKE WILD RIDE
San Francisco Car Jumps Track and
overturns-Three Seriously
Injured
BY Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, June 11.-An cleo
tric car on the Haight street line broke
away from the control of the motorman
this afternoon, ran down the Masonic
avenue grade at frightful rate of
speed and finally overturned at Page
street, injuring three of the six pas
Sengers.
The car was stopped by running into
a hydrant which was broken off at
the sidewalk, sending great stream
of water into the air.
The injured are Miss Agnes Cannon
and Miss Rose Crosby and w. f. FL
lott. They were riding in the interior
of the car, and after some difficulty
they were removed from their perilous
position and removed to the Park
emergency hospital.
There it was found that they had
sustained severe contusions and lacera-
tionS.
A man and two boys who were riding
on the outside of the car and the mo-
torman and conductor escaped injury
by jumping just before the car was
overturned.
