HIS WIFE UNFAlTHFUL.
Cause Of the Harrington Tragedy as
Given by VIII Arnold.

HeringtOn, Kan, March Mr..
VIII Arnold of this city. who is accused
of numbering his wife and then cutting
his own throat almost to a fatal point,
Is slightly improved today and the
physicians think he win recover. He
made this statement today: my
brother at whose home I am staying
is a railroad conductor with a run out
of this place I was out of work at
Rock Island and I and my wife came
here about a week ago hoping to secure
employment but had found nothing up
TO the time of the tragedy Monday.
by brother went out on his run in the
morning as usual and something that my
wife said led up to a dispute in which
we fused over an old quarrel that she
had been untrue to me In Illinois.
''She took the matter bitterly to heart
and I'm a moment of desperation seized a
razor and cut her throat so severely that
she died in a short time
Overcome by remOrse, I attempted to
commit suicide by the same means but
the cutting hurt so that lost my nerve,
and did not make fatal wounds.
THE public knew nothing of the matter
until my brother returned from his run
IN the evening.
Arnold IS in charge of an officer, but
has not been taken to prison.
NO arrangements have been made for
the inquest or the funeral OF Mrs. Arm
old, as yet.

OLD NORTH BURNED.
Wesleyan University sustaifs a Heavy
Loss by Fire.

Middletown, Conn, March Wesleyan
university sustained a severe loss by
fire today when Old North college con
tanning $50 rooms, was practically 5e-
stroyed. The fire, which started in the
attic. burned so rapidly that little was
saved. The loss is placed at $50 600,
covered by insurance. The burned build
ing was erected In 1897, and formed the
nucleus of the present college group and
was of great historic interest at Wcs-

POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Judge Madison Put on Record as
F'avOring Rate Regulation.

Judge z. H. Madison, candidate for
congress in the Seventh district. made
a speech at Lyons a few days ago. He
happened to be in town at the same
time a meeting of the civic league was
being held. The civic league people
thought it would be good time to put
Madison on record concerning the rail-
road proposition, and called upon him
for speech. The Lyons Republican
gives this account of 1t:
Judge Madison made an exception
ally strong speech, showing from a
legal standpoint why railroads were
subject to control He believed IN a
regulation that would regulate; that
Roosevelt was right in his stand; that
people should not be backward in up
holding him: that if every farmer
would write Roosevelt their senator
and their representative they would be
surprised at the good it might DO; that
the Hepburn bill without amendments
that would cripple it should be passed:
that If the present congress did not do
this that an educational campaign
should be immediately begun to affect
the next congress; he believed that
Senator Long would be found at all
times voting for effective rate legisla-
ton, carrying out the wishes of the
people of Kansas. The judge pleaded
for the enforcement of our present
laws against rebates and discrimina-
lions, and not to stop the fight at the
enactment Of the laws, but insist upon
their strict enforcement. His speech
made a good impression upon the audi
ence."
Ford county Republicans in their
convention Wednesday gave Judge
Madison the sixth instructed delega-
ton. So far six conventions have been
held and he has made a clean sweep.
Ford county delegates elected to the
congressional convention are. A. Rus
sell, NJ W. Sutton, Virgil Walker, J. F.

To be told by maker or retailer that
the food is pure is not satisfactory.
Candy may contain pure" white clay
or pure" dyes and yet be very harm
full Syrups may contain pure" glu-

We hear a good deal of complaint against the quite general practice which road supervisors have when working on the highway with road graders of leaving an incline at either side of the road so steep that it is practically i'm possible to use a mower in cutting the weeds adjacent thereto. Were the work so done that the slope toward the fence from the bottom of the ditch degrees there would be no ground for the complaint as made. and the mat ter of keeping the highway looking neat and shipshape would be immense ly simplified.

AIDS THE FARMERS.

As showing still another service which the department of agriculture has rendered to the business interests of the country, we note In a recent bull letin that, solely due to the introduction of better methods of collecting turpen- tine. there has been an Increase of 40 per cent in the output, amounting to SI,000,000, while the long leaf pine for ests of the southern states, from which the American supply of turpentine Is largely obtained have at the same time been saved from annihilation. The cost to the department of the service rem derad in this instance was S14,O00. This is one of many cases which go to prove that of all the money that Is being expended by the federal govern ment in any of its departments there Is none which Is fetching larger re- turn on the investment than that dis bursed by the department of agricul- ture. For this reason pressure should be brought to bear on our congressman to make appropriations for this branch of the government work as generous as possible.

CANNING OF SWEET CORN.

A recent ride of a hundred miles through the territory south of where the writer lives showed numerous sweet corn canning factories just be- ginning their annual campaign. Many of these canneries have a capacity of two or three million cans In a period of six weeks; hence one can imagine that they are busy places when going at full blast. A factory of medium capacity will take the product of be- tween coo and 500 acres. The corn Is snapped in the fields, which are not usually over twenty acres In size, and taken In as large loads as the team can carry to the factory, where a force of people Is engaged In husking the green ears and riddlng them of the silks In some of the factories even the husklng Is done by machinery. From this point on all the work pos sible is done by machinery. The husks are run through an elevator, the refuse being carried off by the farmers fur nlshing the corn. who find 1t is eagerly eaten by the farm animals and particu- larly if there Is shortage of other green food.

DRY FARMING,

The Campbell system of dry farm ing. which was first tried In the semi arid portions of North Dakota and about which much has appeared in newspapers and magazines within the past year or two. Is doing great things for many portions of the western states, where with q rainfall of but ten or twelve inches per annum bump er crops of corn, wheat, beats and oth- er crops can be grown. This system of crop culture Is based on the conserva- ton of practically all of the moisture in the soil through a dust or surface mulch. and under 1t as high as forty bushels of corn to the acre have been grown In North Dakota, fifty bushels of wheat per acre in western Nebras- ka. while better than twenty tons of beets have been produced in Colorado. While this method of crop culture has little value in those portions of the country where there Is an abundant rainfall, 1t does have a tremendous import in all territory where there is fertility in the soil, but an annual rain fall of less than twenty inches.

SAVING THE CORN FODDER.

While the selling price of hay has in the past, as rule. largely de- termined the value of corn fodder. the time Is at hand when. regardless of the price of hay. such system of handling the corn crop should be adopted as will put an end to the enormous waste which is annually witnessed In practi- cally all of the corn belt west If the Mississippi river. \ more careful and sensible handling of the stalk and leaves of this important cereal plant will mean the addition of many acres to the farm area. The hitherto wasteful methods which have prevailed In this respect have without doubt been due to the existence of large farms, rela lively cheap land and that system of handling the crops which marketed the products of the soil In the shape of the grain itself rather than in the more condensed form of butter. pork and beef. However, with land values steadily increasing and more and more time being devoted to dairying and stock raising. condition has arisen which practically compels more thrift and care in the handling of this most important farm crop.

A CORN SUCKER TEST.

Experiments conducted by the Ne braska experiment station furnish in- teresting data relative to the tendency of corn to sucker. It was found that where there was but one stalk to the hill there were fifteen suckers July 12 in every 100 hills and 195 on Oct. 1. With three stalks in the hill there were eighty-six on the for>er date out of the same number of hills and forty five at the latter date. With five stalks there were fify-seven suckers at the time of first inspection and only three out of 100 hills in October. Where the stand of corn was light. 1t was found that the yield was increased seventeen bushels per acre on suckers alone.

VENTILATION OF BARNS.

One of the great defects these days in all large barns and many small ones which are built is the lack of good ventllatIng facilities. This Is partly due to ignorance and partly to indiffer- ence and partly to lack of good plan ming. This question is claiming the at- tention of some of the best architects of the day. No matter how we'll a barn may be equipped or how perfect the sanitary conditions. 1t will not be a success until ventilation Is under proper control. Many of the largest barns are built with the express pur- pose of raising blooded stock, and the prevalence of tuberculosis among the herds Is thought In many cases to originate from bad air.

Some interesting experiments are now being tried along the line of vac cinating fruit trees with a solution of sulphate of iron with a view to increas- ing their longevity. It has been found that the root system of such trees plays out sooner than that above ground, and an application of the chemical men tioned tends to arrest decay and dis solution of the roots and thus prolongs the life of the tree While the expert ments made are in a sense only ten tative, they give promise of being of definite and practical value.
