TAFT ENDORSED.
Republican Central Committee
of Ohio Passes Resolution.

Columbus. o.. July 30.-A resolution
endorsing Secretary of War Taft for
the presidency was adopted by the Re
publican state central committee to-
day.
The resolution was adopted by a vote
of Is to Is.
An amendment to the resolution offer
ed by the friends of Secretary Taft and
opposed by the friends of Senator For
aker, and saying in effect that there is
no intention to eliminate Senators For
aker or Dick from politics in Ohio, was
adopted, IL to 10. The resolution en-
dorsing Mr.. Taft for president was as
follows:
I'VE believe that the great majority
of the people of Ohio convinced of the
high character, great ability and dis
tinguished service of Secretary Taft,
endorse his candidacy for the presiden-
cy, and further:
I'VE declare that the Republicans of
Ohio overwhelmingly desire that the
name of William Howard Taft be pre-
scented to the nation as Ohto's candi-
date for president and that the Re-
publicans of other states are invited to
cooperate with the Republicans OF
Ohio to secure his nomination in 1908.

GOOD FOR THE CORN.
Recent Rains Have Made Things
"Pick Up"

James Humphrey, member of the
state tax commission, came in yesterday
from his home at Junction City. and
concerning the outlook for crops said:
Corn is tasseling now, and is looking
splendidly. The late rains have almost
assured the early corn, but it will take
some more rain to pull the late corn
through all right. But we will get more
rain. I never saw the corn look better
than it does now
c. A. Ryker, member of the state
board Of railroad commissioners, who
came in this morning from Hutchinson,
brought a similar report from his part
of the state. He said: cit isn't safe to
say that corn Is all right for it will
take one or two more rains to assure it.
However, it is certainly looking splen-
didly, and is beginning to tassel.'
J. c. Gernea, of Belleville, the secre-
tary of the Republican County Fair as
ISOLATION, says in a report to the state
board of health:
Republic county promises one of the
largest corn crops produced since its or
by early thrashers in this county is 20

crate Preparations.

Colorado Springs, Colo. July 30.-At
the coroner'S inquest held over the re-
mains of Miss Laura Matthews. whose
dead body was found lying in a lane
near Broadmoor Yesterday with bullet
hole in her head, several sensational
facts were developed.
Miss Green, the nurse who has been
Miss Matthews companion while in Col
orado Springs, was the principal wit
ness called.
She admitted having written several
letters to friends of Miss Matthews in
Chicago and elsewhere stating that
Laura had taken her life after making
"a hard battle" 1t developed that these
letters were written before she had been
informed of the finding of Miss Mat
thews' body She explained this by
saying that she had anticipated such an
event.
one of the letters written by Miss
Green sc as follows:
My Dear Tot: Poor little Laura has
ended her hard battle she has tried to
fight. Shot herself tonight. Home soon
and will tell you all. This has been a
severe nervous strain, but must keep up
and make arrangements. Sincerely.
TITLE"
This letter was not addressed but is
supposed to have been intended for
some person in Chicago
Miss Green also testified that several
days ago she and Miss Matthews had
visited a local mortuary and Miss Mat
thews had selected a casket and re-
marked: This is the kind of casket l
wish to be buried in
Miss Green swore that DR.. H. E.
Thomas whose name has been men
toned in the case, was merely good
friend of Miss Matthews and was not
involved in the case in any way.
The witness in ending her testimony
declared positively that Miss Matthews
was not in a delicate condition.

mouth, his black eyes twinkled, said
Treasure Trove, in April, 1888
Usually the soldiers did it for
themselves, but L remember one case
where General Grant did some wash
ing for a soldier" Everybody looked
up in surprise. Much as we had heard
of General Grants old army blouse and
democratic ways among his men, this
idea of his washing for a private was
very novel. There was a chorus of
questions and ordinations.
WAS it really true? Did he wash
for the soldiers? How did it happen?
Tell US about it?" Yes" said the
Colonel ut is really true, and it
happened in this way: 1t was during
our advance upon Corinth; several SOL
diers were talking together one day.
A tall, ung2inly, raw recruit stepped
up to them with a bundle of soiIed
clothes In his hand. DO You know
where 1 can get this washing done p
he asked.
1.-TWO of the group were practical
jokers: a bright thought flashed into
their heads, and. as the SEQUEL shows,
unfortunately found expression. ooh,
yes, we know; just go up there with
your bundle pointing to the head
quarters of General Grant, you will
see a short, stout man describing the
generaD, who does washing. Take
your bundle to him.
1.-The recruit thanked them and
walked off in the direction indicated.
He gained entrance to the headquar.

ROSE ON THE APPLE TREE.
Nature Fake for the Secretary of
Agriculture.

Bradford, VT, July 30.-Residents of
this village are greatly interested in
freak of nature seen on the premises
of Captain P. S. Chamberlain. Horti-
culturists are unable to account for 1t,
although several have advanced the
cries.
In his apple orchard Captain Cham
berlin has a tree of fine greetings now
about the size of bantam's eggs. They
grow in clusters, as well ordered APP
pies do, and are highly priced by their
owner, who has cultivated the tree un-
til the fruit eventually grows to fine
size and f1rmness.
A few mornings ago the captain was
looking over his orchard when he saw
what he took to be a rose blooming on
the very tip of limb on the greening
tree. He could scarcely believe his
eyes, so he got ladder and made a
closer examination. Sure enough, the
rose was there, and just back of 1T
was a cluster OF rose leaves set amid
thorns.
Beside the blooming rose there was
half-developed bud and before it clus-
ter of apples. How the rose seed got
into the tree and whence it came are
the questions bothering the captain and
the neighbors.
