NEXT YEARS SEED CORN.

There has not been a season in the past ten years when the corn crop in the northern section of the corn belt has been so uniformly belated as 1t Is this fall. The most favorable weath- CT up to or past the middle of October Is going to be needed to put even d goodly per cent of the crop out of the way of the frost. IL view of this sit uation, it will be a sensible thing for the farmer who plans to raise corn next year to begin to lay plans right away in the matter of providing him. self with necessary seed corn. If he can find corn mature enough in his own fields, he should secure enough of that; if not, he should make ar- engagements with his neighbor to se cure some of his and should take pre- cautions to see that it is properly dried and stored before winter sets in There is going to be a deal of scram bling next spring for seed corn, and he will be wise who has so attended to the matter that he doesn't get caught in the press. The corn should be hung up in a well ventilated place out of doors until dry, and then stored , in q warm and dry cellar or in the garret ovef the kitchen where the mice cannot get at it.
 American women fall far behind their old world sisters when it comes to taking outdoor work and exercise, a fact that is doubtless responsible foS the former having poorer digestions and more sluggish livers. The trouble does not seem to be that American women do not have enough to do so much as that they do not have enough work or recreation which takes them out of doors into the sunshine and fresh air.

STARTING THE BOY RIGHT.

The writer employed a couple of cigarette suckers the other day in the harvesting of a big apple crop simply because better help could not be had. The boys seemed to be bumming their way from town to town and had to draw their pay at the end of the first night in order to get a square meal and a place to sleep. Their work was of a listless and desultory kind. We could but think the next morning, when 1t was learned that they had lit out for the next town, that in all probability these same boys would thirty years hence be in the same old rut, only more confirmed in it, and blaming both their heredity and their environment be- cause they had not made a greater suc- cess in life. When a boy starts out this way and does not experience an awakening he is doomed by law as irrevocable as that of the Medes and Persians to be merely a dozy piece of driftwood on the current of life, of no service to himself and a source of danger to those who come his way.

A friend who has a good sized drove of hogs has this season allowed them to run in his large orchard. AS a re suit of this policy the windfall apples were sgobbled up as soon as they fell, and along with them the worms which were caught while pupating and thus prevented from distributing a fresh mess of eggs over the orchard as full fledged codling moths. A careful sys- tenn of spraying coupled with this hog treatment Is calculated to just about fix the apple worm nuisance.

The windbreak for orchard or gar den Is not only valuable for the serv- ice 1t actually renders In preventing damage from heavy winds, but during the heated term of the summer 1t serves to prevent the rapid evapora- tion of moisture from the soil, which would otherwise take place. During the past season the presence of a heavy belt of timber on the south and west of the writer's orchard has been worth hundreds of dollars in prevent ing loss through the failing of fruit and of material value In preventing rapid evaporation of moisture.
 There is probably no one form of pastime or enjoyment that can con- tribute more real enjoyment to the home life than music in vocal or fn- strumental form. 1t is true that in neither line may musical education be developed so one would become eX- pert or care to appear in public, but If the members of the family who pos sess any ear for music will do the best they can very satisfactory results can be secured. There is a wealth of Instrumental music as well as numer- ous old and much loved hymns and popular melodies the singing of which will add materially to the harmony and happiness of the family life.

BRIEF STORM DOES
 DAMAGE TO TUCSON

TUCSON, Aug. 15.-A storm which was of short duration, but which did great damage while it lasted swept over the city last evening about 5 o'clock. The storm was preceded by a slight rain fall and sharp display of lightning, which struck ora of the big poles of the electric light con- pany on Meyer street, knocking it down and causing five wires carrying more than 200 voltage, to fall in the street. As soon as the power house could be notified all power on both currents was shut off until the wires could be disconnected.
 A heavy wind followed the rain and it was only by the smallest mar gin that a boy named Vasquez es- caped death. He was leading a pair of mules down Mesilla street, when a tin roof which coered the Fl Paso store, on the corner of Meyer and Congress street, fell upon him.
 Almost by a miracle the boy es- caped death but one of the mules which he was leading was instantly killed, while the other escaped injury.
 The boy was struck in the face by a flying piece of timber and sus- tained a broken nose. He was ren- dered unconscious but quickly recoy-

 me recently that they would be obliged to build a tide water line at once. The expense. of building and operating such a road could not be as much as their freight charges are now. He told me they now had on the road 34 trains loaded with coke from Pittsburg alone.
 "Our boys should get busy and see that they build over from Benson to connect with the Port Lobos road which believe will be built. The Chamber of Commerce should send an emissary to Bisbee to talk it over with Walter Dougfaa { believe it can be done if our people work 1t right. I am going to stop off at Fl Paso on my return trip to look into the matter on my own responsibility.

INDIAN MURDERED BY
 WIFE AND RIVAL
Papago BrutaIIy Murdered and Tribe Is Incensed--
 Fate in Story.

According to the Star news reached Tucson of a horrible murder near AJo camp, An Indian, whose name was said to be Juan Ortega, was married according to the Papago ceremony. The faitbless squaw aided in the mur- der
 It is the supposition at Ajo that Ortega was hit on the head while asleep in the vicinity in which he lived with his squaw and then while he was unconscious the wicheup. was set on fire and Ortega was burned to death.
 The charred remains of the Indian were found by a miner as he was coming into Ajo from a nearby prop erty, He immediately informed the camp of his discovery and a posse was formed which gave pursuit to the murderous lover and the squaw.
 With the aid of Papago railers they followed the guilty couple down the country across the international line into Mexico where they gave up the search without capturing the cou- pie.
 The crime has greatly stirred up the Papagoes, who are known as the most peacelul ana lHuustEious iHuidHs in the territory, and they have already communicated with their tribesmen who live in Sonora. It is expected that the murderer and the faithless squaw will be captured probably across the line and then they will be dealt with according to the Indian custom in that country which decrees that murderers shall be lassoed and dragged to death at the heels of a horse.

| That Made milwaukee, ar

chell proved his master almost from the
first
With memories of the battle at Gold
field. in which Joe Cans defeated Battling
Nelson, just year ago today fresh In the
minds of the western pugilistic followers,
a great crowd gathered to see the mill.
The fact that ketchell and Thomas had
drawn in their twenty-round bout before.
when Ketchell floored Thomas twice, added
to the general interest and a great fight
was expected.
Ketchen had Spider" Kelly as his chief
adviser. Kelly was assisted by Jack Leroy,
Joe Richardson and Johnny Frayne. In
Thomas corner were Harry Foley, Tom
OLeary and Ell. Carter Thomas was
favorite at odds of 10 to g.
1t was 80. New York time. when the
men entered the ring. Both declared them
selves fit to go the scheduled forty-five
rounds
The instant they faced each other Ket-
chell took the aggressive. but Thomas was
equally as willing to fight. They ham,
mered each other for thirteen rounds, with
ketchell having a slight advantage.
Thomas evened up matters by forcing Ket-
chell in the fourteenth round.
In the fifteenth Ketchell smashed Thomas
with lefts and rights to the face, and the
round Thomas groggy and tired. He
went down under a terrific swing and was
saved by the gong.
To the surprise of ALL Thomas came
back strong again and in the nineteenth
round opened up Ketchelrs eye. The
twenty-first anu twenty-fourth rounds were
Thomas. From then on Thomas weak
ened perceptibly and was unable to make
his clevernesc count.
