QUESTION IN DOUBT
Early Returns From Wiscon-
sin Primaries Leave Re-
suit in Puzzle.
NOMINATE STATE OFFICERS.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 2.-Early re-
turns from the state primaries leave
the question of Endorsement for United
States senator in doubt. Returns are
coming in slowly, and it is likely that
definite returns will not be obtained
for several days. Friends of United
States Senator Stephenson claim that
he has won an Endorsement.
The republicans cast their votes for
Isaac Stephenson, William H. Hatton,
Samuel A Cook, and F. e. McGovern,
for senator. The democratic candidates
were Neal Brown and Melvin A. Hoyt
State officers for all elective posi-
tions were nominated, and selections
were made for congressional nominees
Returns indicate that the various
parties have nominated state tickets
as follows:
For governor-James o. Davidson
Soldiers Grove, republican,; John A
Aylward, Madison, democrat; Winfred
D. Cox, Milwaukee, prohibitionist; Har
vey Dee Brown, Rachine, social demo
crat.

THE WEATHER PROPHET.
INDIANA-Fair and warmer Thursday.
WAYNE COUNTY FARMERS TO
OFFER PRAYERS FOR RAIN

In the event this week comes to
close without this county being bene-
fitted by a rain storm, prayers for re-
lief from the drought, will be offered
next Sunday in many of the churches
in the country districts. 1t is also
probable that in some of the city
churches prayers for rain will be of
fered.
There has not been drop of rain
fall in this section of the county since
August II, two weeks ago yesterday
and on that date the total precipitation
amounted to only IL of an inch, not
enough. really, to be taken into con-
sideration from farmers standpoint
The total rainfall for the month of
August only amounted to LII inches.
which is more than two inches under
the normal rainfall for each month.
Yesterday the weather was threaten
ing and every man, woman and child
in the county confidently hoped for a
good down pour. but the storm clouds
passed by to the east without giving
the expected relief. The weather man
promises rain in the near future, but
ne can make no definite statement as
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram., 1908-09-02

to the exact time the rain may be ex-
pected.
Farmers in this county are nearly
desperate over the weather conditions
Already one-fourth of the corn crop
has been lost and if the present
drought continues much longer over
half of the crop, the total of which is
valued at approximately $4,000, will
be lost.
Another danger that threatens the
farmer is sudden change in the wealth
er. A cool wave struck this locality
last night and owing to the intensely
hot weather this summer, the farmers
fear an early frost. 1t is estimated
that one-third Of the corn crop of the
county will be out of danger from
frosts by the fifteenth of this month.
The entire corn crop in the lowland
districts of this county will not be out
OF, danger from frost until by the twen-
ty-fifth of this month.
Threatened on one hand by the
drought and on the other by premature
frosts, the condition of the Wayne
county farmer is indeed precarious
cne, hence the prayers that will be Of
fered next Sunday.

Mission and Made a
Capture.
STRANGER WAS WANTED.

A short time ago an aged couple,
Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Houghmeier, ar
rived in this city with their only
worldly possession, an ancient horse.
Thisanimal was traded for horse be-
longing to Henry Hieger. The Hough-
meiers sold the horse they secured
from Hieger for $500 and an ancient
vehicle for 80 cents, then went to
light housekeeping on Sheridan
street.
Last night they had a family quar-
rel, which grew so boisterous that they
were arrested for disturbing the peace
While Chief Bailey was lecturfng the
couple they informed him that a man.
Charles Saylor, was staying at their
house, and that he was wanted at

Rev. David Huntington Propos-
es to Establish Employment
Agency to Find Work for
New York's Unemployed.
WOULD Benefit BOTH
FARMER AND LAB0RER.
Suggests Profit Sharing Sys-
tenn on Field Labor-Estab-
Iishment of Bureau Would
Fill a Want Badly Needed.

The Rev. David C. Huntington, reu.
tor of st. Pauls Episcopal church,
this city. who is spending a vacation
in New York city, in a communication
to the Palladium, recommends that an
employment bureau be opened in
Richmond to benefit, on one hand. the
farmers of Wayne county who need
field hands or would prefer the share
system, and on the other hand the
many unemployed laborers in New
York City, who have had experience
in farm work. He states that such
bureau could be opened in st. Paurs
parish house or any other available
place. The Rev. Huntington would
make arrangements for the establish
ment of such a bureau providing he re-
ceived proper encouragement. His
communication to the Palladium is as
follows:
Since / came to New York last week
to complete my vacation, my ears have
been filled with reports of suffering
and want, not among the shiftless and
lazy, but among the sober and indus
trious poor. Remembering the pros
perity of our great state: the prolific
| farms, the field on field of waving
corn and grain and the too often un-
| needed calls for laborers to harvest the
crops. it occurred to me 1t would be a
good thing if the man needing employ
ment and the man needing laborers
could be brought together.
| Here are the laborers, many OF
| them experienced gardeners trained in
the old country. There Is labor in
demand in Indiana, Illinois and other
western states. There are men in
Wayne county who have made their
money on their farms and who now
wish to live in town and who would
gladly let their farms out on shares.
| Now the practical question l want
to ask is this. II an office was open
ed in st. Pauls parish house or some
other available place, would the good
people of Wayne county who want to
retire from their farms or who need
assistance in moving their crops. make
use of It?
NO one would be recommended
whose character and record was not
of the best. This would be looked
after by the New York end of the
work, and also the transportation.
This movement could start in Rich
mond and extend to the west, giving
moral support TO the homeseekers and
a helping hand to many worthy people
who are willing to get their living in
the most legitimate way, out of the
ground, where God has put it for them.
There is a living for everybody in the
ground and none need be discouraged
and no one starve. All that is neces-
sary is willing hand and an honest
heart
ITO start this proposed movement,
ask those likely to employ farm
hands and the public in general. TO let
me know what they think of the idea.

MESA CITY BUYERS
 OF MEXICAN LANDS
The Successful Excursion of the ln-
 ternationsI Land Company.

From all that can be learned of the latest excursion of Americans to Old Mexico to inspect Mexican lands re- gently thrown open to settlement, the most satisfactory results have follow ed. The excursion was conducted by the Mexico International Land com pany of Kansas City, of which Bishop & Haun of this city are general west ern agents.
 The excursion started from Kansas City and was augmented at various points by parties from sections where the company's project had been given publicity. Quite a number went from Arizona under the escort of MT. Bish- op of this city. the entire excursion party totaling about 125 people. MT Bishop has not returned yet but will be back in a few days.
 It is learned that after the investi- gation the Mesa City contingent in- vested in Mexican lands to the extent of 2,250 acres. That these buyers are satisfied with their investment is quite certain as they looked things over thoroughly and knew just what they were buying. They were very much enthUsed not alone over the marvellous resources of Mexico, but it's pictur- esque scenes and the historic wonders they were permitted to see.
