FROM FIELD AND BARN
Some Unusual Records Scored BY
Products Of Mahaska.

A Plymouth Rock hen belonging to
Warren Kalbach, having noticed with
interest the announcements of amaz-
ing accomplishments of her sister
birds, got busy last week and pro-
duced some monstrous eggs. Her
efforts were intended as a boost for
the Herald's special Trade Edition"
which was published Saturday, but
the newsrof her achievement was re-
ported too late to, be insertedAin that
paper. One of her eggs is on exhibit
ton in the Herald window and will
show for itself the result of the hen S
enterprise.
Floyd Branson, living just north OF
the city, claims the distinction of hav-
ing sold the most valuable load of
corn SO far this season. Last week
he sold load of hand-picked corn to
Taylor Faulkner at 60 cents per bush
ell. So far we have not heard of any
corn that has brought better price.
Another unusual record at least has
been scored by sow belonging to S.
V. Reynolds, which deserves honor
able mention at this time. Encour-
aged by the warm weather with which
we have been favored of late, she de-
cided to take advantage of the sum-

THE MAKING OF A CITY.
Various Improvements In Progress
In ALI Directions.

Frank Glaze and Edward Haynes
are completing notable improvements
at their grocery store on High avenue
west. The arrangement OF the inter-
Tor of the store has been improved
and simplified to a great extent. The
proprietors evidently believe in the
concentration idea and have placed
the grocery stock in the two west
rooms OF the big store. The queens
ware and crockery and notion depart
ments have likewise been centralized
and are brought into more advantage
Gus position in the east room and in
a portion of the center room. Shelly
ing has been rearranged and modified
and big Improvement has been made
in spapering. The store mas six
ty foot frontage and has more display
space than any other store in the city.
The whole change makes a neat inn
provement and the proprietors are re-
ceiving many compliments upon the
handsome appearance of the store
g%R
The arrival of another piece of ma
terial has admitted of additional pro-
gress ON the improvements at the
Frankel building on South Market
street The new windows are being
enclosed preparatory to receiving the
large plate glass mirrors at their back.
The windows will be about the finest
thing of the kind to be seen anywhere
in this city, and one. might search
many larger cities without finding
their equal.
The entrance will be flush" with
the sidewalk and new tile floor will
have a gentle elevation to the floor OF
the store, doing away with the step
that now encumbers the entry Much
necessary material is still missing
and progress is accomplished with
difficulty.
Mrs. Anna Pine has been making
improvements to her properties about
the city, costing about five hundred
dollars and enhancing the value of her
places by more than that amount. A
place on College avenue has had alter
atoms and additions made together
with painting inside and out at a
cost of over three hundred dollars.
The property of the lady on North
Market street also received attention
to a considerable extent and greatly

BAN ON EXCLUSION
OF THE JAP PANESE,
PRESIDENT POLICY

President Roosevelt will veto any
Japanese exclusion legislation that Con-
gress may pass.
This IS a strong statement. but it
was made with the best authority to-
day, and it is declared Congress will only
have to enact the legislation to see It
vetoed. The President viii veto the
legislation in the interest Of interna-
tional c0mity. and his friends declare
this viii be in conformity with his atti-
tude through the wrangle between San
Francisco and Tokyo.
Whether this assurance has been ex-
tended 10 the Tokyo government Is not
Known, but IL is believed that Tokyo
has not yet been promised so much
That the President Is determined 10
take this course has been stated by
people who know the exact attitude OF
the Administration.
Secretary Root has received a 1900
word cablegram from Ambassador
o Brien at Tokyo, giving very salts
factory assurances Of the willingness OF
Japan to enforce that governments
regulations against emigration of coolies
70 the United States. There has been
some charge of bad faith IN issuing
certificates too freely, which were used
by coolies; but Mr.. O'Brien has been
convinced OF the good intentions Of the
Tokyo authorities TO Tigidly enforce the
ulch II 1uluAe anu prevent laDOFeFS
coming here or to Hawaii. However,
the Japanese government is decidedly
unwilling to have any anti-Japaness
legislation passed by Congress, because
II would iniure Japan's pride and hurt
her before the world.
JSpen stipulates that the free access
of students, merchants, and profess
stonal people 10 this country shall not
be prevented, or hedged> about by diff
hcult regulations: but beyond that she
Is satisfied to see that other japanese
classes do not come here.
The assurances received from the To-
kyo authorities by Ambassador O'Brien,
il IS stated, are so entirely satisfactory
as to have convinced this Government
that exclusion legislation not only
would accomplish no useful purpose OF
keeping japanese out but would be ut
terly unnecessary, and would create
very had feeling between the two coun.
tries. Accordingly, it is stated, the
State Department will authorize Mr..
o Brten to inform Tokyo that while the
President may not be able 10 prevent
exclusion legislation passing, he win
veto it II It passes. in view of his entire
satisfaction with Japans assurances.

IN STRANGE WAY
WHILE SHOPPING

While standing by the elevator in a
Seventh street department store, Miss
Helen Benton. living al 1927 Fifteenth

mysteT1ously this morning. The young
lady believes that the purse was stolen
from her. declaring that she sSw 1t

ute before she lost it, and yet g'lss un-
able 70 find il later.
The police authorities have been noti-
fled Of the loss, and are making strenu-
Gus efforts 70 recover the purse. The
pocketbook contained $l62 In change
and q check for S57, payable 10 her
father, who is a local surveyor
Mise BentOn's story Of tho affair is:
Il Was standing Ey the elevator shaft
when I suddenly noticed that my purse.
which had had hanging from my wrist
for an hour. was gone Hardly min
ute elapsed between the last time I
saw the purse and the time discovered
II was missing

counters at which 1 had previously stop
ped and made inquiries as 10 the purse.
No one who had seen me had noticed
the pOcketbOOk. I cannot imagine how
I lost IL unless some person cut the
strap and made away with it. IL was
perfectly secure. / had examined il
only Il foW moments before missed

How the purse could have vanished IN
so short space Of time is a mystery.
