Springfield, H., Aug. 22.-The au-
thorities began today h task of over
coming the handicap on their efforts
to fix responsibility for the recent riot,
caused by the failure OF the %coroner's
inquest TO hold any one responsible for
the death of Scott Burton, the negro
lynched last Friday night. The open
verdict Of tn. ~coroner's jury was a blow
to the hopes of officials who saw in it
confirmation of the suspicion that wit
nesses TO the riotiRg would fail TO rec
'ognize leaders Of the mob when called
upon 10 testify in the public proceed
ings.
The grand jury's investigation was
continued today, but there is consider
ably less enthusiasm regarding it's
work than IA displayed two days ago.
Feeling of Anxiety.
The departure of all except two regi-
ments caused a renewal of threats
there would be something doing after
the soldiers leave This feeling is re-
ifected in anxiety manifested in all cir
icles Of the city.
In fact, a renewal OF the rioting is ex-
pected momcntarily. The negroes espe-
cially are afraid. Once the mob gets
started again, no power in the state
can prevent serious disorders.
Only the Seventh regiment OF infant
~ and eight troops OF state cavalry are
on active. duty today. The Second,
Fifth and Third regimental organiza-
tons broke camp this morning. reduc-
ing the military force to a thousand
men. The force may be reduced still
further tomorrow. Immediate return
TO normal conditions car be accomp-
lished by the withdrawal of the troops
from the streets.
This morning was almost devoid OF
alarms. Some firing was heard in the
outlying sections of the city. but ner-
vous militiamen were responsible for
it. One sentry challenged the shadow
of q t.ee stirred by the wind and shot
when, il refused TO halt. Another fired
four times at a pile of refuse which
failed to keep moving"
Work was resumed today at the Tux
horn mine, shut down because of the
refusal OF whites and negroes TO work
together. Orders of the officials of the
miners union were responsible for this.
The First cavalry has been ordered
10 leave Springfield tomorrow. Only
the Seventh infantry will remain here
on guard duty.

Perkins was concerned there was no
occasion for anything but the accept
ance Of the trust imposed upon him by
the entire party without dissenting
voice. with spirit of broadness and
fairness. He should have risen to
the same spirit of unanimlty in his
acceptance as the delegates did in
his election. In this he lamentably
failed. Great as he is. capable and
eloquent as he may be. he has on
numerous occasions shown himself
both sorry loser and an arrogant
winner. Mr.. Perkins declares that
we are governed by the dead and he
seems to be bent on qualifying, polit-
ically. for a place in governmental
circles.

had license to be. Iowa could not
have been more unanimous. and the

settles the nomination for President.
William H. Taft will be nominated
at the Chicago convention. Mr..
Court Boyd who had been in Iowa for
some time aided much in paving the
a way for Taft victory and Mr.. Ellis
made q splendid impression on all who
met him. The Taft endorsement was

son restraining the plaintiff from
prosecuting the case further in the
district court After hearing both
sides of the case on the first day of
the term Judge Mcpherson decided
that the action as to the Standard Oil
company should remain in his court.

BUY SEED CORN AT HOME.

DO oCCO w RN AL uOMC.
The condition of much of the seed
corn to be planted in Iowa this year
is bad. This is speciality true in
the northern half of the state.
Many will find it necessary to buy
seed and being unable to secure it
near home will send away and pur-
chase it wherever seed is advertised.
In most cases this will lead to dis
appointment. for corn grown from
seed brought in from q distance,
especially from the south, will yield
considerably less than that from home
grown seed and will also fail to ma
ture as we'll.
This department wishes to urge up
on those buying seed to secure that
which has heen grown IN their own
county for number of years. A large
number of experiments conducted in
different parts of the state during the
past three years have shown very
conclusively that corn grown from
even good seed brought in from a
distance. yields less than an apparent
ly poorer quality of corn raised in
that locality. They have also shown
that imported seed will not mature
as we'll as the home grown seed.
If someone in the neighborhood has
we'll matured corn which was harvest
ed early it will be safer to select the
best ears from the crib, test six or
more kernels from each ear and save
for seed only those from which six
kernels grow strong than to send
away for seed which is not suited to
that locality.
Many inquiries as to where seed
may be purchased have already been
received. Judging from past exper-
fence the greatest demands will come
about corn planting time, when many
will awake to the realization that
they have no seed corn and do not
know where to get any.
wish that those having more seed
than they need. which will grow
we'll and mature in their locality,
to write to the undersigned and make
it known. stating the name of the
variety. whether it is early. and the
price per bushel. so that less FORUM
ate people can be directed to someone
in their own section of the State for
seed.
wish to draw attention again to
the great need of testing six or more
kernels from every ear of seed to be
planted in Iowa this year.
