SENATOR BROWNS CAREER.
Seems to Have Led a Very Active
Life in the Matrimonial Line.

Former Senator Arthur G. Brown
of Utah, who is to be buried at Salt
Lake City this week, because OF the
good aim of a woman scOrned, seems
to have led very active career in
the matrimonial line, The senator
must have enjoyed the reputation OF
being a gay boy" among those who
knew him, if his record for intrigues
counted for anything.
At the time Mrs. Anna M. Bradley
shot him in Washington, he appears
to have been playing upon her affec-
lions and at the same time to have
/ been basking in the smiles of Mrs.
Annie Adams, the mother OF Maud
| Adams, the actress, who says she and
/ the senator were to have been mar
| ried on Jan. |.
Mr.. Brown had a checkered mat
rimonial career, which in outline
was as follows:
Married wife No. l at Kalamazoo,
Mich, early in the seventies. De
serted her after their second child
was born for Ida Cameron, when
she was clerk in a news stand. Mrs.
Brown, who now lives in Columbus,
O., secured a divorce.
In 1879 went to Utah. Miss Cam
eron followed and a year later they
were married. In 1905 the second
Mrs Brown died, her life wrecked
through the attentions of the senator
to Mrs. Anna Madison Bradley, with
whom he had been friendly since
1896
A few months later he became en-
gagged to Mrs. Bradley, of whose two
children he was the father.
At about the same time he became
engaged to Mrs Annie Adams, He
was to marry her Jan. 1.
His first wife once shot at him be-
cause of his attentions to Miss Cam
eron.
Judging from this record, the eX-
member of the most dignified legis-
lative body in the world must have
expected just what was finally hand
ed him.

Japan is making extraordinary
strides in adding to her navy. She

She went into the war with nineteen
vessels of this class. In addition to
this she has launched several heavy

HOW THE CORN CROP CAN Be DOUBLED
Some Good Suggestions by the Agricultural Department
at Washington to Southern Farmers, Who Rase
Less Corn Than Any Other Section

terial, also soaked in water, is laid
over them carefully, and the whole
covered with a piece of glass or oil
cloth and set aside for few days
for the seed to terminate. This they
will do at the temperature ordinarily
found near the stove or furnace of
farmhouse, alternating between 90
and IS degrees, but care should be
taken that the temperature does not
fall much below IS degrees, for if
it does the reliability of the test will
be maintained, but not Overdone;
observation and good judgment will
guide the eXperimenter in this
In three or four days the kernels
will begin to sprout, but the final
deductions should not be drawn un-
til the six or seventh day, when the
shoots or stems are an inch to an
inch and a half long. Here is the
rule: If all six kernels from any
one ear show good, strong, healthy
sprouts keep that ear for seed; 9th
erwise reject it, Any ears that yield
dead kernels or kernels which sprout
feebly, should not be used for plant
ing. The ears showing perfect ger
mination are now to be butted and
tipped-that is, the kernels of the
butt and tip are to be shelled off and
discarded-and the full, perfect
grains stored in dry place against
planting time.
The testing of seed corn in this
way is not difficult, and really forms
La philosophical experiment of no
mean interest. But apart from this,
it has a practical value which a lit
tie calculation will make quite clear
Corn, in the principal corn-growing
states, is usually planted in hills
three and a half feet apart each way,
or 1856 hills to the acre. A yield
of one ear per hill, each ear weigh
ing a little less than a pound and
about nine inches in length, would
give fifty bushels of shelled corn to
the acre Recall, now, that even this
years enormous crop averages only
a little over thirty bushels to the
acre, and in some of the states bare
ly half of that, and the immense ben
eft to be derived from better stand
of better corn is at once apparent
1t costs as much time and labor to
prepare the land for, and to culti-
Vate a poor stand as a good one. If
the stand can be improved and the
average yield increased 10 or 5 per
cent. certainly no argument is need
ed to prove the desirability of any
practice that will conduce to such
results. 1t is not claimed that seed
selection alone will at once accom-
plish this much, but it will unques-
tionabIy help towards it.

If it is diseased the disease will faint

and so spread disease throughout the

SKUNK HARVEST IN MAINE
A PROFITABLE AND GROWING
INDUSTRY IN THAT STATE.
Farmers Are Now Eagerly But Con-
tinuOusly Gathering One of
Names Golden Crops.

''Despise not the humble skunk,
my son, neither seek closely to make
his acquaintance; for, truly, power

packages. Advice of a Father.
1t is skunk killing time in Maine,
as we'll as the time when the pretty
little black and white animals roam
abroad, by night and by day, seeking
what they may devour, in order to
lay on a good coating of fat before
they den up for their long winter
sleep
1t is estimated that from 100, 900
to 100000 skunks are killed in
Maine every year. More than 25,
900 gallons of skunk oil are pro-
duced in Maine every year. This is
esteemed a sovereign remedy for
rheumatism, while it has other uses
in medicine. There is a constant
demand for the fluid and the price
has gone up dollar a gallon inside
of year. Then the skin is a valua-
bic commodity. 1t is used for the
foundation of many furs, and many
a fair lady who faunts in her seal
skin cloak would be Mortified if she
were to learn that the greater part
of the garment never saw a seal,
Z but came from the back of a pretty
little skunk.
The most valuable skins for this
purpose are those of the darker ami
mails. A pure black skunk skin has
market price of between one and
two dollars. Ordinary striped skins
are worth from % to so cents, while
those in which the stripe is not prom
inently marked are worth from so
to Is cents. The striped skins are
! dyed and blended with other varieties
of fur to make coats, boas and trim
mings, while the black skins form
nine-tenths of the muffs in the fash

The woods are now filled with
men and boys hunting for the fra

when the animals roam abroad in
great numbers. Many farmers boy
earns enough money in this way in
a few nights to pay for his winter
| clOthes-and even more When one
considers that the average skunk will
yield quart of skunk oil, which
sells for 90 a gallon wholesale, and
that his pelt may be worth from 25
cents to 50, it can be seen that he
is truly a walking gold mine, and
many farmers have gone into the
business of raising them with as
much success as keeping poultry.

COTTON DEAL is HELD VALID
Jury Returns Verdict in Favor of
Brokers. GeOrgians VIII Have
to Pay Losses.

A case involving the legality of
cotton contracts according to the
rules of the New York cotton ex-
change has resulted in a verdict for
the plaintiffs in the federal court at
Valdosta, the defendants being P. D.
Phillips, of Eldorado, Ga, in a case
for $3.50, and G.. E. Phillips for
$2,730. Suit was brought by Bailey
& Graham, cotton brokers, and mem
bers of the New York cotton eX-
change, for margins which the de-
PENDANTS refused to pay, though they
had given their drafts for the
amount, but had instructed the
banks not to pay them. The de-
PENDANTS claimed that the contracts
were merely a deal in futures and
were illegal because they were gamb-
ling The plaintiff claimed that act
ual delivery of cotton was con-
templated and tickets were exhibited
showing that they contracted for the
given number of bales of cotton from
dealers on the exchange. The case
consumed the greater part of three
days. The court held that a mere
deal in margins was gambling and
that plaintiffs could not recover, but
that a deal where delivery was con-
by one of the parties was
a legal transaction and the defend
ants would be liable for the amount
claimed, with interest at per cent.
and cost added. This is what the
jury gave the plaintiffs. The de-
PENDANTS are prominent naval stores

Compulsory Education.

Even in colonial times law of the
general court of Massachusetts decreed
that in every town the selectmen
should prosecute those who refused to
train their children in learning and
labor" and a fine of 20 shillings was
imposed upon those who neglected to
teach their children so much learning
as may enable them perfectly to read
the English tongue" But it was not
until the nineteenth century that state
laws with specific penalties were
enacted. In Massachusetts truant
law was passed in 1850, and COM
pulsory law in 1852, requiring mini
mum of II weeks attendance on school
each year for children between the
ages of eight and fourteen. To-day in
Massachusetts child is required to at

Many Big S s.

does not believe in Education
and we will show you a mon.
strocity, and that is why the
party has roasted and par boil
ed the Democrats for more than
twenty years.
If the rank and file OF the Re-
publican party had have under
stood the true situation, tleIe
would not have been a qudrrPl
between the two parties ov, r
1.-The books, nor over the school
funds, nor their source.
The Democratic party thrc ugh
its system of taxation for schooi
purposes, in the year 1905, prin
cipally from corporation sources
in the city of st. Louis, collect
ed in round numbers 443, 900. In
the apportionment the city re-
ceived 100000 less than she
paid to the school fund for
1906.
That 100000 went to the
poorer dis riots of the state,
and yet the Republican party
and press spends it's time mis-
representing the Democrats.
Now let US see how a porto q
Of that fund is expended:

she gain or lose by the Demo

an answer remember, it was the
