FOR A BIG COIN SHOW.
One VIII Be Arranged by the Com
nletcia1 Club.

That there will be a corn show this
fall in the Auditorium which will eclipse
all previous efforts is an assured fact
inasmuch as the Commercial club is
back of the affair and have arranged
to pay the expense of the ten prize win
ners to the annual corn week at the
Stat, Agricultural college at Manhattan
during the first week of January.
The four farmers Institutes of the
county are also lending their encour-
agement to the farmer boys of the
county. Instead of cash and merchan-
disc prizes such as have been awarded
in the past, the prize winners will have
a week at Manhattan with all of their
expenses paid. The corn show in To-
peka will be held in the Auditorium
some time in the fall after corn picking
time.
At the time of the show an entertain
ment of some kind will be given and
small admission charge made which will
be used to assist in paying the expenses
of the prize winners to Manhattan.
Circulars defining the rules of the con-
test and containing other information
relative to corn growing are being pre-
pared by F. A. Kiene, Jr. These will be
printed by the Commercial club and a
copy sent to every farmer in the coun
ty with a view of inducing the farmer
boys to enter the contest.

PUERTO CORTtZ FALLS
The News of Nicaraguan Victory Is
Brought in by Steamer.

Mobile, Ala, April s.-A steamer
which has just arrived here brings the
news that Puerto Cortez has fallen.
Advices just received say that Ceiba
Honduras. is also in the hands of the
Nicaraguars.
Washington, April S.-While official
information of the capture of Puerto
Cortez, Honduras, by Nicaraguan troops
has not reached the state department,
a cablegram was received today from
Frederick NJ. Ryder. consul at San
Juan Del Norte, Nicaragua, saying that
advices had been received there that
troops were advancing along the Hon
durean coast from Trujillo. The cable
gram failed to say whether the troops
were marching toward Puerto Cortez,
but it is understood here that the dis
patch had reference to the Nioaraguan
army and that it was advancing from
Trujillo, which already was in the hands
of the Nicaraguans, to Puerto Cortez.
This makes it probable that the cap
ture of Puerto Cortez was by the Mic
araguan army, especially as American
gunboats off the coast of Honduras
would likely prevent a bonbardment of
the town by the Nicaraguan navy.
Ambassador Creek and Minister Corea
of Nicarag Ia had brief conference to-
day with Assistant Secretary Bacon at
the state department concerning the
Central American situation.

FOR THE CLUB HOUSE.
Commercial Club Lends Project Its
Moral Support.

At meeting of the board of directors
of the Commercial Club held this morn
ing a resolution was adopted endorsing
the project of the Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs to raise funds for the pur-
chase of the property on the corner of
9Th and Topeka avenues to be used as
a club house. There is a small church
as we'll as a residence on the property
which is held at $500.
1t is the plan of the club women of
the city to sell 1000 shares of stock at
$1,000 each which will give them bal
ance of 81, 500 for improvements after
the the property has been purchased
The option on the property expires this
evening and the ladies will make pay
ment on the purchase price today. 1t
had been planned to dispose of some Of
the shares among the business men of
the city but some opposition has been
met and it was for his reason that the
Commercial Club was asked to endorse
it.
The Commercial Club also went on re-
cord as favoring a state fair and will
circulate petitions among the tax pay
ers of the county asking the board OF
county commissioners to reconsider
their action in which they refused to
make a levy of two mills for that pur-
pose as authorized by the legislature
last winter. The directors of the Com
mercial Club feel that state fair will
mean much towards the prosperity of
the city and that the levy asked for will
not materially increase the taxes of the
county.
They will ask the commissioners to
make levy of two mills for this year
and next which will raise something
like $685. 900 each year. This money is to
be invested in permanent buildings on
the fair gre :nds and when the legisla-
ture meets two years hence it will be
asked to make an appropriation OF a
like sum.

GLUE THAT DIDN'T MATERIALIzE
Country Boys Find BIackened Dollar
That Wasn't Part of Loot

The attention of Sheriff Wilkerson
was called Sunday to something which
promised to be a slight clue to the
Fitzgerald & Iannan safe robbery.
Two country boys, living north of the
city were driving to town in a buggy,
when they saw a dollar in the road,
near Soldier creek.
Wishing to divide the find evenly
they took the coin to a store and ask
ed for half dollars in change. The
storekeeper noticed that the coin was
blackeneds as by powder, and turned it
over to the sheriff. Mr.. Gannan,
whose safe was blown by robbers last
week, says that the condition of the
cash drawer ri1ed by the robbers
shows that none of the powder came
in contact with the money stolen. so
the stray dollar found north of the
city is not part of the collection.

in teaspoonful doses after
meals and at bedtime:
Fluid Extract Dandelion,

This mixture is said to

GARDENING FOR AMATEURS.

The sun kills almost as many plants
in winter as the cold. After the ground
is frozen the roots should be shaded
so that the alternate thawing and
freezing will not affect them. Well
rOtted, fine chip dirt makes an excel
lent mulching for pansies and pinks.
After making a little mound around
the base of a pansy bed the foliage
should be let fall back to its natural
position. A little loose brush or woody
litter that will not smother the plants
will serve as ample protection against
the wind. This should be left on from
the time frost falls until the grass be-
gins to sprout in the spring. Ptnks
will give out an early bloom if they
are treated in the same way.
1t is interesting to know how certain
flowers got their names. Many were
named after individuals. For instance,
fuchsias were so called because they
were discovered by Leonard Fuchs.
Dahlias were named for Andrew Dahl,
who brought them from Peru. The
camelia was so called for a mission
airy named Kamel, who brought some
magnificent specimens of the flower
to France from Japan. He called it
the rose of Japan. but his friends
changed it to camelia Magnolias were
named in honor of Prof. Magnol de
Montpelier. who first brought the
beautiful trees to France from America
and Asia. Because they tremble with
The Latin word to wash is 1avare and
lavender received it's name because the
Romans put the flowers into the water
when they washed to perfume their
hands.
The best results with sweet peas
comes from planting in double rows
about six inches apart and four inches
deep, putting them in three inches
apart Support should be provided
early, preferably at time of sowing, as
the ground is then soft and it will be
more firm than it can be after the soil
hardens. Poultry netting is the very
best support though If this can not be
afforded even brush wifi suffice.
Keep the soil worked light and mel
low, but avoid working it up into
ridges. If it is necessary to water in
time of drouth do 1t thoroughly and
then hide the watering can for a week.

Instinct In Plants.

Climbing plants have two opposing
methods Of describing spiral growth.
The plants that turn to the right in
the northern hemisphere reverse this
trend in the southern hemisphere, and
therefore, for the sake of consistency,
it may be preferable to describe the
two kinds Of spiral tendency as re-
spectively "clockwise" and counter
clockwise," which latter can be short
ened to "counterwise." The honey
suckle and the hop turn "clockwise,"
while the convolvulus and the scarlet
runner bean Irvine "counterwise." Ex-
periments made by growing scarlet run
ner beans in OPAQUE cylinders, to dis
cover whether the deviation of the
twist was innate or merely from the
direction of the light, disclosed the
fact that the plant possesses an inclna-
tion resembling the instinct of animals,
of proceeding in a given direction, and
resents any attempt to force 1t other
wise.
