TWO SMALL

DESTROYED
FIRE IN CABINS OWNED BY ODD
FELLOWS CALLS OUT DE-
PARTMENT.

AT noon yesterday the fire depart
ment was called out by blaze in the
row of cabins on Summit street be-
tween Cross and Mccullough ave-
nues. The fire originated in the
cabin, in which the occupant had
only recently moved in and was pre-
sumably from an oil stove. The de-
partment was on the scene in it's
usual quick manner and soon ex-
tinguished the flames, but not before
they had destroyed one of the build
ings and badly burned another. The
fire was kept from spreading by the
early arrivals at the blaze who COM
pletely overturned one of the build
ings. The destroyed structures were
owned by the Odd Fellows lodge and
the damage is estimated to be be-
tween 5000 and $500, with no in
surance.

FARMERS FACE CORN CRISIS.
Prof. Holden Declares This Years Seed
is Unreliable

Des Moines, Dec 13.-"Iowa corn
growers are facing a crisis for next
year on account of the exceptionally
severe and early frosts which impaired
the seed corn" said Prof. p G.. Hold
en-, father of the seed corn special.
Il don't believe it is necessary for
the farmers of this state to change to
an earlier variety of corn, but more
attention must be paid to seed. If
this frost-bitten seed is planted the
yield viii fail next year far below what
it was this season.
Farmers should plant corn grown
previous to this year if they have any
in their bins. This leftover corn
should also be distributed thruout the
state so that our crop this next year
will be as good if not better than last
year
Internationally the present corn
show is superior to any ever held in
Iowa. I am we'll pleased with the
exposition. Next year, however, we
must arrange programs that will inter-
est the city people and thus bring our
a larger attendance"
Professor Holden declared that the
seed corn this year was poorer than
in any of the seven years in which he
has been in Iowa.

Wayne County Poor House.
Corydon, Dec. 13.-Mrs. Minnie Stew
art, of Dodge City, Kas., found her
mother here after searching in vain for
nearly twenty-five years. Mrs. Emily
Helmick was found near Cambria
twenty two years ago in a wretched
condition, deserted by her husband,
half starved, and with scant clothing.
She was in denented condition and
no one seemed to know where she came
from or who she was, but it has all
ways been supposed that she escaped
from the Clarinda' hospital She was
promptly placed at the county farm,
where she has remained all these
years. She was called aunt Annie"
by the different superintendent and
attendants.
Mrs. Minnie Stewart learned of the
whereabouts of this woman thru cor
respondence with her friend, Miss Mary
Ball, who was assistant superintendent
of the county farm for years. Mrs.
Stewart came to Corydon last week
and drove to the farm to see the won-
an. She recognized and identified her
mother at once and after a few min
utes the old lady called her daughter
by name.
Mrs. Stewart employed an attorney
to secure the aged woman's release,
which he succeeded in doing without
much difficulty
