THE KANSAS WHEAT HARVEST.

Kansas City Journal.-It Is our pain
full duty to announce to eastern college
students and others who contemplate
attending the wheat harvest In Kan
sas that on account of the -unprece-
denied frosts and SHOWS of April 1t Is
likely that the usual bountiful supply
of cherry pies and cherry bounce will
be eliminated from the harvesters'
menu this year, and 1t may be that
strawberry shortcake will have to be
limited to small section per capita.
To compensate for this privation, how
sures an abundance Of nard cider and
(perhaps) brandy peaches, which will
be served ad lib at noon time and after
supper. There will also be plenty of
foaming fresh buttermilk for those
whose temperance scruples preclude
Indulgence in anything stronger. It is
also barely possibly that the dinner
score card will be embellished with
roasted Chinese pheasants, stuffed
with Oklahoma pecans and garnished
with strips of Missouri bacon contain
ing alternate streaks Of lean and fat.
OF course the fried chicken. green
peas, asparagus and custard pies will
adorn the bill of fare as usual wherever
a hospitable Kansas housewife presides
over the commissary department
On the other hand, the late SHOWS
have assured a record breaking wheat
harvest, and abundant work at liberal
wages for all corners. Secretary Co
burn declares that the last snow was q
benediction upon the wheat with
balm in every flake" so that it is rea-
sonable to assume that his former es-
innate of a 90,000,00o bushel crop will
be exceeded by several millions. With
wages of SO a day and board along
the lines in Kansas next month for at
least $4,000 more harvesters.

UNCONSCIOUS FROM GAS
Mr.. and Mrs. Sydney Smith
of Robertsdale Rescued
by Neighbor.
Especial to Lake County Times

Robertsdale. Oct. 16.-Mr. and Mrs.
Sydney Smith had a very narrow es-
cape from death by asphyxiation
caused by escaping gas from the stove
at their home in the East Side yester-
day morning A neighbor calling on
the family in the morning, thought they
had over slept, as she raped several
times receiving no response.
She became alarmed and forced the
door open. and found them both IN
conscious. After trying in vain TO
arouse them, she began to notice the
odor of gas. She quickly summoned
aid and a physician was sent for Both
were in a very serious condition when
he arrived. and after working over
them for some time they were finally
revived and are now out OF danger,
but still quite I'll. Mrs Smith was
formerly Miss Gertrude Kreuter. the
youngest daughter Of John Kreuter of
Indiana boulevard. and is very popular
and well known here.

diana Harbor is simply being dwarfed
and stunted in it's growth by the lack
Of houses and even Gary is going to
have a house problem. and serious
one at that"
TT does not take a very imaginative
person said this observer 10 see that
with the splendid railway facilities
Indiana Harbor has the lure Of thou
sand neat little homes. which might be
purchased same as rent the adver-
tisements read, would attract people to
the city from all over the Calumet
region.
Where the growth OF Indiana Har-
Dor was accentuated." said he. the
growth of the other cities in the Cal
umet region would be slackened for
the citizens with a 100000 building
fund to draw from would be able to
supply an abnormal demand"
THE house problem is one that
should be seriously considered by
capitalists in every part of the Cal
umet region said he, for Hammond
and Gary as we'll as the Indiana Harbor
could reap the same benefits that would
accrue to the citizens of the Harbor
if they could but solve the problem
of raising the money with which to
build homes and business blocks"
| There is no question that ample
security could be provided in hundreds
of cases but there is simply no money
to be found"
In conclusion the Indiana Harbor
business man said, Assuming that my
theories are correct. the city which
first and finally establishes a reputation
as the financial center of this district
will be the city that will have great
prestage over the whole of a region
that is to be the industrial marvel OF
the whole world.

SULTAN INVITES FRENCH
ADD el-aziz Urges Establish
ment Of Morocco Protect
orate-Offers Aid.

Tangier, Oct 15.-An Morocco Is
plunged into a state of indignation
against the sultan by report from
semi official sources that the ruler has
frankly invited the French to establish
a protectorate over his empire and its
100000 subjects.
This invitation is declared to have
been extended during the recent con-
ference between Abd-el-Aziz and NJ
Regnault, the French minister. The
sultan is reported to have expressed
his Willingness for an immediate mill
tary occupation of all the seaports by
troops of the republic, and to have as
of arms to maintain itself against any
European power, especially Germany,
which might object.
This promise was conditional, 1t Is
said, upon the French agreeing to put
down the rebellion of tribesmen headed
by Muley Hahd, the sultan's brother.
Means Armed Resistance.
The Importance of the new declara-
ton of Abd-el-Aziz cannot be over
estimated. According to diplomat is
here 1t means not only European in
tervention, probably with a reconsid-
Grafton of the terms OF the Algeciras
convention, but the immediate and
thorough armed resistance of the ma
tives, who are now wrought to the
highest pitch OF excitement by the be-
lief that the monarch is delivering him
self completely into the hands of the
French.
Beyond the sultan's newly announced
policy the most dtsquieting feature OF
the situation is the practical certainty
that an attempt is now imminent to i'm
pose foreign military police upon the
various seaports Of Morocco, which
will also meet with the fierce resist
ance of the natives.
A detachment of 500 government
cavalry, was brought here today from
Camp Aindaliah, fifteen miles south OF
Tanpier The soldiers are destined tc
be sent to Mogador, where they viii
oppose the rebel forces which are mo-
bilizing in that vicinity.

TRIAL IS TO END TODAY
Florence Gray, Accused of
Killing Frank Brown,
Knows Fate Tonight.
Especial to Lske County r4mes.)

LaPorte, Ind, Oct 16.-Before the
shadows today have fallen Florence
Gray, once a resident of Hammond, will
know her fate. A jury will have de-
cided that she acted in self defense in
the killing of Frank Brown, of Three
Oaks, Mich, or that the killing of her
supposed lover was unjustif1able. The
state completed the introduction Of
evidence yesterday morning. The time
of the court yesterday afternoon was
occupied with the evidence OF the de-
Tense. Attorney People, for the de-
Tense, stated that he would Justify the
killing of Frank Brown and evidence
was offered to sustain this theory.
Florence Gray, jauntily dressed and
with perfect composure, took the stand
and said that the day Brown was at
her house he carried on his person a
razor and a revolver, that he made
threats that day that he would kill
her in the delirium of passion, and that
when she fred the fatal shot he was ad-
vancing up the stairs toward her with
the evident purpose, as she believed, of
killing her. She then fired the fatal
shot. The defense proved by a witness
named Wolfe, that he heard Miss Gary
cry for help when he drove past her
house.

FRANZ JOSEF GAINING
Physicians Announce De
crease in Catarrh and
Fever-Is Out of Bed.

Vienna, Oct 15.-The condition late
tonight of Emperor Francis Joseph
shows no improvement The fever has
returned to a moderate extent, but in
spite of this his majesty remains in
good spirits and today he expressed a
desire for physical exercise.
The doctors made their regular ex-
animation of the patient this evening,
after which the following statement
was given out:
The general condition OF the emper-
or is favorable. The catarrh and the
fever are decreasing.
Arrangements are being made to heat
two galleries in the Schoenbunn palace
in order that he may there take his
walks under similar conditions of
temperature as obtained in his led
room. A hammock will be swung in
the bedroom in order that his majesty
may rest at intervals should he ex-
perlence fatigue. 1t is expected that
this experience will afford relief to the
hacking cough. This phase of the ill
ness OF the emperor has abated but
little and it occasions him severe head
aches.
The semi official communications ap-
pear optimistic in the matter OF the
progress of the malady. but they add
that the condition of the patient is
stationary. The minister of finance to-
day declared at the opening of the
bourse that his majesty's illness was
pursuing a satisfactory course and il
would therefore seem evident that nc
immediate danger is feared.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir tt
the throne. called to inquire regarding
the emperor's health. He remained a
the palace for half an hour, but did no
see his majesty.
