WHAT THE LEGISLATURE IS DO
INC

lN0
II Up to the present there has
been introduced in the two
houses twenty-six bills provid.
ing for regulation or bearing on
railroads in some way.
| The bills to the front at pres
ent are the antl-p pass bill, which
has passed the senate, and has
had it's first and second readings
in the house and is now in pos
session of the house com m mittee e
for consideration. This went
through the senate with the
emergency clause attached, and
while the house members in op.
position to this claim to be or.
ganized to strike off that clause,
it is believed that it will go thro'
and become effective at once.
An attempt will be made to
amend it in the house to allow
contracts for newspaper mileage
in the law.
The two cent rate bill as it has
been called, has been favora bly,
| reported in both houses, but &C.
tion will not be taken until after
the railroads have been given a
hearing Wednesday night. This
bill provides for 500 two thou
sand mile books at two cents a
mile straight, with a rate of two
and half cents on trip ticke is.
TIE employers liability. or fel.
low servant act has passed in
both houses on different bills
and will be enacted into law.
This bill taking from the rail
roads or any employing com.
pany the right of the plea Of
ctntributory negligence on the
part of the employee in a suit for
damages for personal injuries.
Next in order is She reciprocal
demurrage bill, which places q
fms of q dollar day per car on
Hroad com panies for failure to
furnish cars to shippers after
twenty four hours from the time
expiration after the order, aud of
any shipper who detains a car
more than twenty four hours af.
ter receiving the same shall be
liable for the demurrage charg- |
es of one dollar per day for the
time he so retains the car.
Other bills which have been in
troduced, are to limit the work
ing time of railroad employees to
not to exceed sixteen consequi-
tive hours, with rest period of
not less than eight hours before
going on duty again.
Repeating that.provision of the
code which exempts railroads
from payment of damages in
cases Of injury to passengers
who ride upon platforms or in
cars.

corn, and soon win be ready tt
make final selection of ears. Il
will therefore be in order to cal
attention to some of the import
ant characteristics of good seed
ears. In the first place, a seed
ear should be of proper length.
What may be the proper length
will depend upon the variety and
upon the section OF the country
in which it is to be grown.
The important thing to bear
in mind in this connection is to
have the size of the ears adapted
to the climatic conditions under
which the corn is to be grown.
The circumference of an ear OF
corn should be equal to three.
fourths its length. Its shape
should be cylindrical with full
middle. retaining the size well
towards the ends. An ear
should not taper too much to-
ward the tip, nor should the butt
be large and corase. A taper.
ing ear indicates low vitality.
One with q large butt has been
produced on O thick shank and
the thick shanks are not desir.
able for rapid husking. The
but should be we'll flied and the
rows should be continuous and
straight from butt to tip. The
cob should not be large but rath
er medium In size. Its color
is also of Importance. Yellow
years with white cobs, or white
ears with red cobs should be dis
carded. no matter how good they
may be in other respects. This
is placing . good deal of import
ance upon an apparently unim.
portant point, but we
must remember that the color of.
the cob indicates 10 some extent
the breeding OF the corn. When
the color OF the cob is out OF har-
mony with the color Of the grain
we are dealing with a mixed and
not a pure or even well bred va.
riety. Mixed seed is very un
desirable, because the crop re.
sulting therefrom may not ripen
evenly.
As stated before, the rows of
kernrls should be straight and |
run from end to end on the ear. |
This indicates purity of breed.
ing and as rule means large
percentage of corn to cob. The
burrows between the rows should
not be too open, neither should
hey crowd each other, as that
prevents the corn from drying
readily. Wide burrows, Of
course are Objectionable: they
end to lower the yield, and they
llso indicate that the variety is
'unning out.
The individual kernels must
be carefully examined. They
hould be deep with the edges
,early parallel, and they should

The oat market was spasmodic. The

Pittsburg, Nov. 12-'T will convict
Harry Thaw OF the murder of Stan
ford White. l am not fugitive from
justice nor have ever been. / was

ready to give myself UP and will go
to Now York with the first official

qualified declaration made today by
Ida Vera Simonton, the young wom-
an who fed America and went to the
jungles Of Africa to keep from testi-
flying when the young pittsburg mil
lionaire was first placed on trial for
staying the famous architect.
She witnessed many OF the thrill
ing incidents In Europe In the lives
OF Harry Thaw, Evelyn Nesbit and
the chorus girls mother. but when
she was wanted to take the witness
stand against her quondam friend.
she suddenly disappeared from Pitts
burg and was next heard from near
Johannesburg. Miss Simonton re-
turned to her old home today and
Immediately announced that she
would be on hand when the second

cember.
MY testimony" she said, will
favor Mrs. Holman, the former Mrs
Nesbit, who is and always was my
good friend. And you may say this"
she said to the Evening Journal cor
respondent: my testimony on the
witness stand will give the case
new aspect I will fix Harry Thaw
for good when my story is heard"
The young woman was In London
when Mrs. Holman said she had
been deserted by her daughter and
Thaw and left to starve.
when l arrived in London" Miss
Slmonton explained, II found Mrs.
Holman destitute and without a
friend in Europe. I found Harry and
Evelyn had deserted the girls moth
er without a moments notice. and
were enjoying themselves in the gay
capital"
It was shown during the Thaw trial
that District Attorney Jerome ex-
pected important testimony from this
but she said she fed America
before he could secure service on her.

UNKNOWN MAN
Found Dead Near New PhiIadelphIs.
Description Of the Body.

New Philadelphia, Nov 1.-THE
badly decomposed remains OF an un.
known man were found near Tuscara-
was. They were in such condition as
to prohibit post mortem and after re-
viewing them and taking testimony in
the case. Coroner Romig pronounced
death due TO unknown causes" The
identity OF the man will probably
never be disclosed, as there was found
on his person no papers. with the ex.
ception OF small clipping containing
the name OF lawyer at Carthage. o.
Coroner Romig is of the opinion that
death was due to either heart failure,
exposure or starvation, for no marks
of violence were to be found upon
him.
The unknown was about Ave feet
eleven In height. His hair and beard
were almost snowy white and though
his features were disflgured by decom'
position. there remained discernable
traces OF strong personality. The
little finger OF his right hard was
missing and the thres other fingers
were partially gone. which was evil
dence that he had at sometime been
employed in shops of some kind. He
had the appearance OF being about rs
years OF age.

to meet the approval of the two boards
is the methoi OF killing the CANNES
by the use OF gas. The dog will be put
Into an air tight compartment and
gas then turned on. This method is
in use In many cities and Is said to be
the most humane way yet discovered
of killing the dogs.
The pound here will be commodious

house and the old market house. In
IL are compartments for the captured
dogs. The place has a cement floor.
and brick walls on three sides and II
has a wooden front.

successful course OF this feet Of bat
tIeships will be an object lesson TO the
world and it will demonstrate TO every
nation, whether of the far east or OF
Europe, that the United States has a
navy which can be counted on in case
of emergency; it will do more toward
preserving peace between this country
and all other powers than all the anti
war and arbitration resolutions that
could be adopted in international
peace conferences for the next CEN

Whatever the chief purpose for this
