His brother is a Republican and ths
two often have argued politics togeth-

labor question and the Democrat cit.
ed an instance when the newspapers

Ohio stating that Judge W. H. Taft
presiding as Federal Judge had SEN
fenced Henry Heidi and brother, OF
.Tiltonsville, Ohio, to Jail for six
months on a charge ct contempt with
out giving them trial by jury.
The Republican brother said he did
not believe the story and said It was
only a newspaper lie. The Democrat
disagreed and it was decided to write
to Henry Heidi for the truth. This
they did and here is the reply they
received. The original is at The Times

Mr.. ]. o. Cottrill, Dear sir:-I re-

say that what you saw in the papers
about me and my brother is so and
more too. They put us in jail for six
months for nothing. They would not
let our lawyer produce one word Of
evidence. They heard the evidence
of the company and when our turn
came we were not permitted to say
one word.
Now how can a working man vote

chased a quantity of seed corn in In
diana. In the shipment was q freak
ear which, instead Of the ordinary
cob was composed Of core Of husk
the grains being neatly wrapped upoI

pod.
Mr.. Sconce was impressed with the
novelty of the find and decided to
plant all the kernels found on the
freak ear. To his surprise the ears
produced that fall were found to be
exact productions of the ear, He
has decided to plant more of the corr
next year, and will endeavor to i'm
prove on it. He believes that there
is more to it than freakishness. The
ears produced this year yielded as
much corn as those provided with Q
cob, and the kernels were large and
solid. The ears were well filled, ker
nails even growing among the silk.
The freak ears were placed upon
exhibition at a county fair at Sidwell
last week and attracted much atten
tion. AS a result OF this discovery
the corn cob may disappear.
