Good Reports from scott County.

Geo. W. Owen, in writing to
the Walnut Creek Milling Com.
pany from Scott City. says that
he has examined a number of
wheat fields in that locality, AID
that while there are some bugs,
they are very few, land that the far
mers have also found this same
condition. He says there are no
parasites in the fields. but that
there are plenty of lady bugs.
He further says the wheat is
small, but looks good, and the
people in that locality feel good
over their prospects for an abun-
dSnt yield.

The MAY report of the the I

The May report of the the De-
.partment of Agriculture. made
. public soon after noon in Wash.
Layton FRIDAY. showed a loss of
; over 3H million acres of wi inter
wheat from the area sown last fall
and the condition of the remain
ing area was given as 1929 per
! cent compared with 1919 a month
ago and 81 a year ago. By the
usual way of figuring this was
accepted as indicating a winter
wheat crop of 407 million bus
esl. or IS million. bushels less than
sthe crop of 1905.
In view of the fact that the
spring wheat also is certain to
be short on account of the late
season in the Northwest. the re-
port caused great excitement in
the speculative wheat market.
July wheat in Chicago advanced
: rapidly to 1914 cents, nearly 8
cents over yesterdays close.
In the Kanass City market
there was an advance of 8 cents in
the July price. to 81 cents.
The loss in winter wheat area is
chiefly due to damage by green
bugs in Texas and Oklahoma and
winter killing in the central
states. Seventy per cent of the
Texas area, or nearly 100000
acres, and IS per cent of the
sOklahoms area. or 100000 acres.
were reported as abandoned.
This loss is due almost entirely t o
the rayages of green bugs. Ohio
lost 10 per cent. or $50. 900 acres.
and Indiana Is per cent. or 32O.-
600 acres, by winter killing. The
loss in Kansas was 5 per cent, or
2Ss.00O acres. Losses in most
other states we're small.

DORA MCDONALD A WRECK.
Has Mislaid $4,000 Worth o
Valuable Securities.

CHICAGO, November 9-At a time
when she needs money badly in her fight
for life. Mrs. Dora Mcdonald, charged
with the murder of Webster Guerin. has
forgotten the hiding place of $4,000
worth of bonds given her by her late hus-
band. Michael c. Mcdonald.
This proof of the woman's mental aber-
ration. cited by her counsel. Col J. Ham,
ilton Lewis. was sufficient to induce Judge
Brentano Thursday to permit her case to
go over until the December term of
court.
The condition Of my client is pitiable."
said Col. Lewis. she cannot tax con-
nectedly of the events connected with or
following the shooting. 1 have tried to
talk to her fifty times that I might be
ready for trial. but have not been able
to get a coherent story.
What could be more convincing that
her insanity is real than that she Is I'M
able to tell me where she has hidden
valuable bonds? Her inability to produc.
these bonds has delayed the settlement
Of her husbands estate She has spoken
to me frequently of these lost bonds. and
I have done everything in my power I'M
successfully to bring her back to some
remembrance Of where she placed them.
She does not know the exact value OF the
bonds but 1 suppose 1t Is around $3.50
These bonds are of the Lake Street Ele-
waited road and other West Side property
in which Mcdonald was interested"

ran away from their homes. Young Kuntz
and his companion appeared at Fmlico
and were arrested by Detective ODon-

a few dollars on q race or two.
While the boys were charged with the
larceny of two gold watches and $500
the charge was merely a technical one.
for the alderman. when they had been
turned over to his care, tossed them some
money and told them to get something to
eat and meet him at detective headquar-

Mr. Kuntz explained that he was
great admirer of horsefiesh. and that his
son took after him. Pazinskt he declared
was an exercise boy in hts employ at one
time and had the making of a jockey. In
explanation Of hts sons running away,
Alderman Kuntz said the lad cared more
for horses than he did for school. A let

fact that the lad studied the racetrack

he had only taken $500 instead of $500.
and he had $40 when arrested The do

Strengthened out quickly. and nearly every
one who met the alderman buttonholed
him and talked politics.
Although once a hard worker in the
cause of municipal ownership, Alderman

mer Mayor Dunno. he said. was a splen-

did not make a strong stand for any
thing. For fifteen years Mr.. Kuntz had
been an alderman, and he has been hon

voters he represents. While still an alder
man he ran for Congress and was beaten
by sixty-sx votes, despite the fact that
he was ill and unable to take part in the
campaign after having made a fight for

The first fall meeting of the Emmanuel
Christian Brotherhood of the Emmanuel

-vening. After a number of musical selec-
lions and a short business session. the
brotherhood was addressed by II. b. F.

Commissioners of the District of Column
bia. upon the history of Washington. and
upon its conclusion a unanimous vote of
thanks was extended to Mr. Macfarland

exercises a collation. was served by the
retiring officers of the brotherhood
Percy S Foster. president; E. P. Dickin-
son. vice president; w c. White secre-
tary. and ]. H. w. Marriott. treasurer
The organization is similar to the Mems
Club In many of the churches. with the
added feature of mems Bible class
taught by the pastor, Rev. George Ellis
worth WhitehOuSe, each Sunday morning
at $50 O'Clock. The plans of work are
very broad. and the character of the or
ganization admits of men. regardless of
any church utilization. In Mr.. White
house former pastorate in Moncton, New
brunswick there was a brotherhood of
over four hundred men, and from present
indications there will be such a body of
men In Emmanuel Church as soon as the
proposed new structure is completed and
sufficient accommodations obtained.
The new officers, recently elected for
he ensuing term, are: w. E. Richardson.
