Two Mems Ways.

While former President Roose-
vet has been slaughter'rS big
game in Africa, giving good adj
vice to the natives and their rul-
ers and incidentally keeping IN
the limelight of the news, former
Vice-President Fairbanks has
been quietly travelling around the
world, and when last heard from
was enjoying himself in Pekin.
Were it not for an occasional
short cable dispatch, few would
know he was out of the country.
There is all the difference in the
world between the strenuous and
the simple life. and the foreign
travels of these two men give a
very forcible illustration OF it.
Both are evidently enjoying them
selves, but they are certainly do
ing it in very different way

KILLED BY
FALLING LIMB
DAVID STALEY LOSES HIS
LIFE IN WOODS NORTH
OF INWOOD.
Skull Was Crushed by Large
Limb Falling While Men Were
Saving Logs.

\ tragic accident occurred on
the farm OF David Staley, 3 1-2
miles northwest OF Inwood, and
8 miles from this city, at 200
o clock Tuesday afternoon
when the owner of the farm was
struck by falling limb from a
tree, and died fifteen minutes lat
er, from a crushed skull.
In company with his son
George Staley, and two sons-in-
law, Ed Harsch, who resides on
the farm, and DR.. Edison of
Bourbon, and an employee, Mr..
Donehee, David Staley was en-
gagged in Telling and cutting logs
in a wood, about half mile west
OF the residence. They had felled
"a large tree, and were at work
saving it up, when the accident
occurred. \ large limb. fifteen
feet long and six inches thick,
had broken from the fallen tree,
and became lodged in another
tree about forty-hve feet from
the ground. One of the party saw
the suspended limb, working
loose, and shouted to the men to
leap. Ed Harsh leaped back, saw
ing his own life, only to see the
form of his father-in-law crushed
to the ground by the massive
limb. When the body was taken
from under the limb, the back OF
the skull was found crushed. He
was unconscious and was carried
to the house, where he expired
fifteen minutes later without re-
ming consciousness.
David Staley was 50 years of
re on Feb. 18th last. He is sur
vived by his wife and three child
rem. who are, Mrs. Bertha Edison
Bourbon, Mrs. Mary Harsh re-
siding on the farm where the &C
cident occurred, and one son
George Staley. The funeral will
be held Friday afternoon at 80

Cross Dog-No Mail.

Owners of dogs may be depriv-

livery of their mail. II dogs are
little too frolicsome or show a
disposition to be unfriendly with
the letter carrier, he may take his
postmaster into his confidence

GOVERNOR AGAINST
LONG PRISON TERM
PENALTY FOR BURGLARY
TOO SEVERE AND ASK
FOR CHANGE IN LAW.
Says Ten Years is all Right for
Professional, but too Much
for First Offense.

Governor Marshall is of the
opinion that the new law which
provides a ten-year prison term
for burglary in this state is too
stringent, and will seek to have
1t amended at the next session OF
the Legislature.
Il am of the opinion, said the
Governor yesterday, that such a
sey ere penalty is not justifiaole.
| 10 not countenance burglary.
For the professional a heavy SEN

such cases ought to be LEFT to the

of having a fixed statutory penal

ought to be permitted to deal

made a mistake and fell by the
wayside as we'll as the profes-
sional burglar"
Favors Publishing Petitions.
The Governor believes that pc
titions for pardon or parole be-
fore the State Board of Pardons
in behalf of persons convicted of
the more serious crimes should
be published, and he has taken
up that question with the pardon
board with view OF having the
plan adopted. The Governor told
members of the board that he be-
lieves that communities are in
danger of being imposed upon by
the methods which have prevail
ed in dealing with such petitions.
The Governors plan is to give to
the newspapers of the state the
names OF the persons for whom
application for parole or pardon
is made in order that interested
persons may know what is going
on. The pardon board may adopt
this policy.
The Governor will recommend
to the next Legislature that the
law creating the pardon board be
amended 80 the board shall be
required to publish notice of petit
tons for paroles or pardons.

No Suicide on a Full Stomach.

An Atchison (Kansas) physi-
clan says the best antidote fnr
suicide is something good to eat.
No person, he argues, will think
of killing himself while masticat-
ing something palatable. The
danger in this prescription lies in
the after-effects. If the food
which is honey to the mouth be-
comes NORWOOD in the stomach
in other words, if it be innutri-
tious and injurious to the health
it may even promote suicide by
developing a diseased condition
OF both mind and body, to which
death might seem a relief.-Eas-

VALUABLE HORSE DIES

TIE horse had been driven out to West Emo
by one Of the collectors of the furniture firm.
Upon reaching a point in Reeds alley where ne
had some collecting to do, the collector left The
horse united in the street and entered severa,
houses to collect rent. While he was gone the
horse wandered off into a vacant lot to Craze
on the high grass, and in walking around the
lot the horse stepped into the uncovered well
and went down. The we'll was oDscured trou1
view by the tall grass that had grown over the
opening.
The animal was one of the most highly priced
owned by the furniture firm. He had JUS
been purchased for $500 and was considered al
unusually good horse for the purpose for w1icn
he was bought
Immediately after falling into the we'll siren
uous efforts were made to pull the horse out.
When it was seen that the animal could not o.

animal could then be pulled out

more or less during the summer, but is
cultivated commercially, as a rule, during
the winter months This crop'fs not diff
cult to grow after one understands the
business. It is important to secure good
spawn and give care and attention to the
work. 1t is a clean crop except for the
preparation of the bed. While many have
failed in mushroom growing, there is no
secret about the business, as many mag
inc. Mushrooms are generally propagat-
ed from what are known as spawn. The
English product comes in the shape Of
bricks which are broken up into small
pieces and planted. The French or Flake
spawn is already broken ready for plant
ing when purchased. The spawn is kept
in stock by all seedsmen and a good quail
ity of the same should not be difficult to
purchase, the price varying from 10 to II
or more cents per pound in small lots
Mushrooms may be grown out of doors
and in cellars and stables as well. Any
place where there is a dry bottom on
which to set the beds will answer, provid-
ed a moderate and uniform temperature
can be maintained. The crop should be
protected from excessive rain or winds
and drouth While absolute darkness is
not necessary, exposure to sunlight is I'M
desirable. When a cellar is selected the
windows and doors should therefore be
closed UP. In an unheated cellar the beds
should be built on the floor and should be

crops developing more completely be-
fore cold weather sets In and furnish
larger amount Of pasturage in the fall
At the same time, 1t would give the
vetch a longer period of growth and en-
able it to gather more nitrogen from
the air. These are some very material
advantages which would follow the early
seeding of this crop.
In some experiments made to determine
the best rate Of seeding vetch when plant
ed by itself as good results were obtained
from one-half as from three-fourths or
one bushel of seed. Where vetch was
seeded on a 5O-acre plat by itself at the
rate of one bushel per acre, the yield was
at the rate OF $3.50 pounds Of cured hay
per acre. When one bushel of vetch was
seeded with a bushel and half of Gull
berson winter oats the yield was at the
rate of 3,sls.5 pounds OF cured hay per
acre. AS large yields. however. were OBJ
tanned under field conditions as are here
indicated from the use or 20 to 80 pounds
OF vetch seed, but these figures have
been quoted to show just what results
were secured upon definite areas of land
At least from one and a half to two tons
OF hay can be secured from oats and
vetch when grown under anything like
favorable conditions.
TIE facts set forth bear testimony to
the very excellent qualities of vetch as a
winter cover crop for pastuTage and hay
making purposes. That the soil may be
materially improved by the growth Of
this crop all will agree who have seen it
tried. That il may be made the source
Of a much needed supply of excellent hay
has been clearly demonstrated. It is to
be hoped. therefore. that. in view OF it's
many excellent qualifications the vetch
will be much more extensively used on
our farms in the near future than IT has
been in the past, for in this way, and this
way alone, the needed food for the main
tenance OF live stock can be secured and
the enormous losses which soil erosion in
fiicts upon us in a measure controlled.
