Harvey County Making strong Effort
to Secure a Good One.

10 9GElAlG y A1AlA AJAEEs
Newton, Kan. March 10.-For weeks
the county commissioners have been
quietly at work on the plans for the
new court house. The greatest care
is being taken to have the work done
economically and yet thoroughly. AS
far as possible for human agents, the
commissioners are trying to avoid mis-
takes that will in any way make the
cost Of the building unnecessarily high.
They are giving to the building the
same careful attention they would If it
were their own. A large part Of their
time. as we'll as that of the county
clerk, B. 0. Hagen, has been taken up
for the last few months with plans and
correspondence. The most painstaking
service is required of both the commits
siQners and the clerk and the people
are fortunate to have in these positions
men that are sufficiently faithful to
the public interests to give the work
their earnest and conscientious atten-
ton.
An illustration Of the great care be
ing used Is to be found in the safe
/ guards adopted against the pcSsibili-
ties Of the building costing more than
] was originally planned. 1t is stipulated
/ in the contract with the architect that
I he shall not receive any pay for his
! services should tbs commissioners fail

| architect as the probable cost of the
/ work.
The architect has said that each part
of the work should cost so much" and
/ the commissioners are determined Ct
shall cost no more. The provision is
made with all bidders for contracts that
the commissioners reserve the right to
reject any and all bids In case they
exceed the cost figure indicated by the
architect In this way they are MAX
| ing sure there viii be no call for an
additional FIVE, ten, or fifteen thousand

CHARGED WITH BIGAMY.
B. I. Caldwell, Arrested and Taken
Back to Harvey County.

B. I. Caldwell, Arrested and Taken
Back to Harvey County.
Parsons, March 1O.-Sheriff Langpied
Of Harvey county, Kansas, returned
home yesterday evening with Auctioneer
B. I. Caldwell, who is wanted there on
a bigaTny charge. The sheriff was not
able to identity Caldwell personally,
but he had been SO well posted on his
movements after he had left his wife
that he was able to tell him so much
that Caldwell finally admitted that he
was the man wanted.
Caldweirs first wife Is now living at
CherryVale, and three children. They
were living at Severy, Kan, at the
time Caldwell left her, and she moved
to Cherryvale afterwards. Evidently
Caldwell had followed her down here
and had managed to square things with
her, for he had a letter in his pocket
which she had written that would show
that she was ready to let by-gones be
by-gones and let him come back and
support his family.
At the time Caldwell deserted his wife
the Severv papers were full of the story
and one of them went so far as to run
his picture. This was seen by boy
who lives in Parsons, and he told the
officers some time ago that the versa
tile colonel was wanted at SeVery
This started an investigation, and 1t
was later discovered that Caldwell had
gone to Newton. There he met Mrs
g. A. Spencer, a widow, and after a
brief siege, the tender Eeart of the
widow was smitten with his charms,
and she became Mrs. Caldwell No 2
Caldwell married her in June of last
year. but evidently was not pleased
with his new wife for he left her IN
July and shortly afterwards located
herg. The second Mrs. Caldwell Is de-
teRmined to make her bogus husband
nav dearly for deceiving her, and he

INTERNATIONAL HORSE SHOW.
one May Be Held at London in Spring
of 1907.

New York, March 10.-Ofhcers Of
the National Horse Show association
of America and the English Hackney
Horse society are cooperating to es-
tablish in London an international
horse show. The project was first
preached during the last horse show
at Madison Square garden in ,Novern-
Der when English and American
bition in London next May. Owing
to the lack of sufficient time for prepa-
ration this plan was found to be i'm
practicable, but J. T. Hyde, the
ffather of the National" and Henry
F. Euren, secretary of the English
Hackney Horse society, are now work
ing together to carry out the enter
prise IN the spring OF 1907.
Mr.. Hyde states that while nothing
definite has yet been arranged, mat
ters have progressed far enough to
warrant him IN saying that an inter-
national show now seemed assured.

Increase the Cotton Crop.

From the Wall Street journal
Competent judges entirely familiar with
the history and progress of cotton grow
ing. do not hesitate to say that with good
rotative cultivation and the improvements
of the soil by legume crops. it is entirely
practicable to grow two bales of cotton on
each acre. To some people this sounds like
a dream. The average of the whole cotton
belt Is little more than 200 pounds to the
acre. To say that the crop can be In
creased two and half times seems like
romance. But Is It?
The best cotton farmers are either doing
II now or are gradually working their farms
out fail The agricultural schools and the
young men they are training by the thou
sand each year are having demonstrated to
them that they have simply to utilize the
resources at hand to make two bales grow
where. less than a half bale grew before.
One thing that keeps the south from ex-
panding in cotton growing is the want of
field labor. But from various sources we
hear that now the Germans. now the Ital-
ians. are proving their efficiency as cotton
labortrs. Coming from Europe. where they
have been accustomed to intense methods,
we need to be surprised ii they realize this
result OF doubling the product. Every farm
on which this is done becomes proof Of
its possibility in the neighborhood. In this
way the new regime in cotton culture will
Re w'orksd into being. not simply by the

Lettuce and Lettuce Growing.

From the Country Gentleman
1t is fair to call lettuce the queen of the
spring garden. 1t does not reach this pre-
elninence in the minds of all people. but
the reason is that the dainty vegetable is
not appreciated at its full worth. It is
the opinion of the writer that this lack of
appreciation Is chargeable largely to the
fact that many people seem not to know
how to prepare lettuce for the table. A
secondary reason for its failure to reach
due popularity is that many persons con-
tinue to grow unsuitable varieties by i'm
proper methods.
In eating lettuce 1t Is first quite necessary
to have good varieties There Is room for
fair difference of opinion as to what these
varieties are The New England states,
more particularly that section In the neigh
borhood Of Boston. require a lettuce well
headed. The Boston market type is the one
usually preferred. This is a highly selected
form of the old-fashioned Tennsbail lettuce.
1t contains many crisp white leaves on the
inside of a cabbage-like head. and many OF
the -best-intentioned people eat nothing but
this blanched portion. In the central states.
on the other hand, lettuce of the Grand
Rapids type is more highly esteemed. This
lettuce does not form head. but has many
loose. crisp leaves. One of the most extern
siye and famous lettuce growers in the
neighborhood OF Boston recently told the
writer with much emphasis that the FASH
ionable mania for the hard-headed lettuce
| in his neighborhood was driving the best
varieties out of the market. One great rea-
son for the use of hard-headed lettuce Is
that 1t will stand rough handling In the
markets Those who have the opportunity
TO eat good lettuce fresh from the garden,
however, know very well that the hardest
heads are not always the best In fact the
varieties which are most crisp and tender
at the time of cutting are the very ones
which will not bear long shipment or rough
handling by the grocer.
| In the search for good lettuce it should
be noticed further that different varieties
are adapted TO different conditions, and
| that unless proper varieties are selected
for the purpose In view the best results
cannot beSattained, The Boston market let
| tuee reaches Its hest only under 8insss For
