DR.. Church said In response to a ques.
ton regarding Dowie's mental con-

A noted suit with which several
tragedies have been connected and
which has been dragging through the
courts for Is years has finally come 70
an end at Cincinnati.
The case stands az q novelty In Ohio
litigation. Old Ohio names figure In 1t
ell through. but death ended the conto-
vspsy for all the original parties to the
suit before the end came In court
The case was that Of Susie Van Bibber
and her husband Andrew against the
heirs Of Gen. Duncan Macarthur, one
time governor OF Ohio and It's repre-
sentative in the United States senate.
He died In 1889, the richest man, or
one of the few richest men, in the state
at that time, his possessions including
100 broad-acred farms. scattered
through % counties Susie Van Bibber
was q granddaughter Of Gen. Macarthur.
1t took years for the settling up Of
this more than feudal domain, but II
was finally parceled out among the chill
dren and grandchildren, with the ex-
ception of a large farm In Scioto county.
The Distribution Of this was disputed
by Mrs. Van Bibber. She and her hus-
band considered they were not receiv-
ing their share In the Scioto lands.
They brought suit against the other
heirs, both for a share in the lands and
for $4,000 as compensation for the ex-
clusion from the land during some
years
The suit was fled in the United States
court In Cincinnati In April, 1879. The
Van Bibbers' attorneys we're Rufus
King and his partners. Mr.. Thompson
and Lawrence Maxwell, w.. the latter
at the time being the junior member
Of the firm.
Tom Ambrose. who later gave noted
name to local history, was then clerk Of
the United States courts.
The proceedings in the court were
fought with vigor and determination by
both sides, as the disputed lands COM
prised a very valuable part Of Scioto
county. Reports. references. examlna-
tons, ETC.. dragged out through many
years.
The Judge Of the court died and two
others succeeded him.
Rufus King died, and years still later
his associate. Mr.. Thompson. passed
away.
Mra Van Bibber was shot to death by
her husband. being mistaken by him
for burglar In their residence on Price
Hill, Cincinnati. some Is years ago. He
was held for murder. but never tried.
1t becoming evident that the tragic az
fair was due clearly TO mistake.
Last year Van Bibber himself blew
out his brains at Chicago. He had been
living there and was believed demented
over his misfortunes.

One "Captain Of Industry.

Newspaper dispatches from Reno,
Nevada, say that Mrs. william Ellis
Corey, vile Of the president Of the
steel trust, has fled a petition for d.
vorce on the ground Of desertion.
The couple we're married In 1883, and
Mrs. Corey charges that her husband
deserted her in May, 1905.
Corey was one Of those high mind.
ed gentlemen who In 1896 were great
ly alarmed lest the honor Of the ma
tion be soiled. II memory Is not at
fault Schwab, Corey's predecessor as
president OF the steel +rust, lost his
position because he dallied at the
gaming table. When, something
more than q year ago, II was an
nounced that Corey had deserted bis
wife, the newspaper dispatches said
that he would be forced from his
position. Then came intimations
that Corey would not submit to dis
cipline at the hands Of bis superiors.
At one time We we're toli shat Mr..
Carnegie, who builds libraries for the
edifcation of bis countrymen and
for the perpetuation Of the Carnegie
name, was so indignant because Of
Corey's conduct that he had bluntly
told the steel trust president that he
must return to his family or surren'
der bis position. But later Mr.. Car
negie gave q party to the employees
OF the steel trust and the dispatches
said that William Ellis Corey, the
president Of the great corporation
and the wife deserter, held
the "seat OF honor" at Mr.. Carnegie'e
side.
There were rumors that Corey had
made threats to his steel trust asso.
ciates that II they undertook to dis
cipline him, he would retaliate. Some
powerful influence seems to have kept
him In his position. Can II be that
the members OF the steel trust regard
gambling az Q more serious offenst
than wife desertion? Or can II b.
that Corey knows more Of the secrets
Of the steel trust that Schwab knew
Maybe the explanation Il that

NEVER BURN CORN STALKS,
Equivalent to Burning Money and
Means the Loss Of Nitrogen
of Great Value.
WRITTEN sos FARM PROGRESS.

WRITTEN SOh AKIN fhouhEre.
A man who rakes and burns corn
stalks wastes at least $50 worth Of
nitrogen for every day that he works,
to say nothing OF other profits that
could be derived from sowing this
valuable material, and the loss ofthe
beneficial effects Of the humus that
might be added to the soil by cutting
the stalks and blowing them under.
Yet IL is an ucsusl fact that many
farmers do not seem to understand
that cornstslks are valuable. After
the corn is harvested they seem to
think that they have reaped the re-
varl OF their labor, and after per.
haps using a very small proportion
OF the stalks for fodder, rake up the
remainder and burn them. While
the value OF the stalks cannot, OF
course, be in any way compared with
the actual value OF the corn, itshould
be considered In estimating the value
Of the crop.
A ton OF corn fodder contains 50
worth OF nitrogen, figured at prices
charged for It in commercial iertilix-
ers. When Is is burned the nitrogen
escapes into the air and can never be
returned except In a small way by
leguminous plants. The loss Of
humus Is the same as the loss OF dol
lars to the farmer.
Humus not only adds nitrogen,
but It keeps the soil In mellow condi.
ton, which makes tillage easy, also
permits water to percolate into the
soil more rapidly and prevents pud.
ding in rainy weather. One OF the
surest indications OF q difficulty in
humus is a soft, sticky condition OF
the top soil in rainy weather, accom-.
panied by a hard baked condition In
dry weather. Humus also increases
the capacity Of the soil to absorb
and retain moisture, thus aiding
much to secure the presence OF that
large supply Of water that isso neces'
sary to crop production.
The restoration OF humus to soils
IL the cheapest and best method OF
rsplenishing diminished nitrogen
supply, which 1t is needless to Say is
one Of the first essentials to success
full crops.
II, therefore, seems difficult to IN.
derstand how any farmer with even
q slight knowledge OF the compost
ton OF soils can deliberately set fire
to q pile OF cornstelks. In so doing
he is adopting the only method by
which the stalks can be rendered
valueless. We're they even permitted
to remain in pile they would be Of
some value, but to destroy them by
fire is equivalent to burning money.
Let US repeat that q ton OF corn iod.
der contains SO worth Of nitrogen.
