WHAT IT COSTS.

The statement filed by United
States Senator Stephenson of Wiscon-
sin shows he spent 100000 to win
a denomination at the primaries. A
great deal of argument" is evidently
necessary in Wisconsin politics.

GREATEST DISPLAY IS NOW ON
IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA.
A Grand Prize of $3.50 an Ear for
Ten Ears Is Offered. Mexico
Offers Valuable Premium.

OMAHA, Neb.-King Corn is
reigning supreme in Omaha this
week at a great national exposition
devoted principally to showing In
dian maize and its products. The big
buildings devoted to the national
corn show are filled up with ex-
hibits.
The opening day was devoted es-
pecially to receiving and entertain
ing the governors of the corn
states" and most of these gentle
men had something to say. The
states which particularly figure as
corn raisers are Iowa, Illinois, Ne
braska, Missouri and Kansas, though
various others produce large guam
titles of the grain. The governors
of these states have gifted tongues,
and they spoke with moving elo-
quence of the virtues and value Of
corn.
All Worthy the Honor.
And corn is worthy of the honor
given it. As the greatest of Ameri-
can cereals it holds an unapproach-
able place in the agriculture of the
country, and is becoming more and
more favorably known throughout
the world. The national corn expo
sition serves a most useful purpose
in advertising the leading American
food article. There are numerous
interesting features this year, in
Guiding many of novel character
as well as those connected with the
main purpose of exploiting corn.
There will be a fraternal day, when
prizes will be offered to the organ
izations making the finest and largest
display, the most proficient in drill
and the like, and an "old country
day." which will be given up to the
swedes, Norwegians, Germans, Dutch,
Poles, Bohemians and others who

DEATH OF MAJOR HELM.

Was One Of SheIlman's Best-KnOWn
and Most Respected Citizens.
Major N. L. Helm died at his home
in Shellman last Tuesday afternoon.
He had suffered intensely for sew
eral weeks, and all that medical skill
could do was rendered, but only in
vain. Mr.. Helm was one of She'll
mans most prominent and highly re-
spected citizens, and was liked by all
who knew him for his good deeds
and clever traits of character. He
was an honored member of the Ma
sonic lodge.

OLD MEXICO IS
CATCHING ON.

The republic of Mexico is now pre-
pairing to follow the example of the
United states ia the reclamation Of
the arid lands and as the San Fran
cisco CAN says. the wonder is that
something of the sort was not done
there long ago. because this is really
matter of larger concern for Mex.
leo than for the country on this side
of the line. Early this month the con-
gress of Mexico took the first step in
this undertaking by appropriating
s25. 1000, 900 to be expended for subsl-
lNdies on irrigation projects. The area
of arid land in Mexico is immense. 1t
! includes practically the whole coun-
| try. except where it lies in the tropics
or on the coast. How much OF the dry
region is susceptible of irrigation is
not definitely known. but undoubtedly
Is extent is vast.
1t is believed that this appropria-
don and the policy it involves will
attract large investments of American
capital. The law. besides providing
the money, makes liberal concessions
of another kind in favor of those who
come under its scope. For instance
the government is empowered to
grant, for a term of ten years, free
importation of agricultural nipple
ments, cattle for breeding purposes
materials, seeds and othe things that
might be considered germane to the
industry Export duties on the pro
ducts of irrigated lands may be re
mitted for a term of years. and, in
fact. every means is used to promote
the extensions of this form OF indus
try.
The sociological interest of this
movement will lie in its evolution
whether as a system of small proprie
tors, mostly working their own farms

If the republicans mean what they
say about desiring the IMMEDIATE
admission of Arizona as separate
state in the union there is no reason
why this should not be done in time
for the completion of the preliminary
work so that the new state may have
two senators and congressman
ready to take their seats when the
sixty-first congress meets for its first
regular session year from next De
eember. The, Arizona statehood bin
is already among the bills introduced
in the sixtieth congress and it could
be called up and passed before the
holidays of the present year If the re
publican majority would agree to it.

likewise. Then she got suspicious,
gave up her position and took a train
for Florence. Upon arriving there
she discovered the human ghouls who
had fed upon her had left the town
the week prior. Her title was a fake.
She had no land.
She appealed to the authorities, but
they did nothing for her and, at last,
she drifted down to Watertown, where
she secured a position in the
Kampeskia hotel at SIS a month

his board for bell-hopping. She had
saved her money and now she was
bound for Elgin, H., where a friend
had promised to help her until she
could get on her feet again.
