Effects of Dryness and Heat.

Dry seeds will not terminate, no mat
ter how favorable the other conditions
may be. This fact gives an easy meth
cd of preserving seed from one year TO
another. Thorough drying by exposure
either to the sun and wind or 10 arti-
fetal heat is the surest possible method
of saving seed. Seeds thus prepared
are not attacked by fungous diseases,
they do not ferment or sour. and are
not injuriously affected by extreme
cold.
Seeds are greatly Influenced by
changes of temperature. This is true of
both terminating and dormant seeds.
The latter are not materially affected
by ordinary changes of temperature If
they are dry. Even a small per cent
of moisture renders all seeds much
more susceptible to injury from cold.
The seed of Indian corn is often of
weak vitality, due TO injury from cold
before drying.
The larger seeds Will Withstand q

degrees Fahrenheit will kill most farm
and garden seeds if continued for ten or
fifteen minutes. The vitality of all
cereal seeds is destroyed If subjected to

The, express companies have raised

of the new charges took effect on
August ! while the others take effect
with the beginning of the present
month. Practically all of the COM

change made. In the past all empty
beer kegs or cases and ice cream
tubs were shipped back to the ship
per with no additional charge. Now
1t will cost the sender fifteen cents

for five cents additional and now the
charge will be ten cents for each bas-

Monterey Mexico, September g.
General Reyes, Governor of Nuevo
Leon is on his way back from Ga.
lena, and is expected here before
morning. He will present his res
ignation as Governor on his arri.
val.
His absence from Monterey during
the fire and flo'od is regarded as un-
fortunate. He is a man Of action
and had he been here to take charge
OF relief measures hewo nj dhavt
strengthened himself with the people
in all probability. Mrs. Reyes has
worked hard to relieve the dis

The best opinion is that the con-
nection of Reyes name with the
alleged movement against the gov
ernment is due to the zeal of his
friends rather than to any action
of mis- own.

STRUCK IN THE CHEEK
BY A STRAY BULLET
Lewis Morrill, Has a Pecul.
lar Experience
Twenty-Five Callbrc Ball Strikes Him
While Crossing Pearl Street I'm this
City.

To be struck by a bullet coming
out of space with great force was
the peculiar experience of Lewis Nor
rill, as he was returning home at
the noon hour today.
Mr.. Morrill, was crossing Pearl
street on the north side of Belle
fountain avenue when he felt the i'm
pact. A number Of small boys were
playing ball nearby, and at first he
thought he had been struck by q
ball. The wound however, at the
base of the left cheek bled pro-
fusely and it was soon evident that
the missile had been fired from a
weapon. From the size of the wound
the bullet must have been a twenty
two, and that it did not come from
very great distance was certain
from its force. DR.. James A. McMur.
ray was hastily summoned and prob
ed for the bullet, which he be-
lieves will have to be located by X
rays.
The accident should prove a les
son to those thoughtless enough to
shoot dangerous weapons within the
city limits. The offender has narrowly
escaped sacrificing the life of a fell
bowman, the wound being danger
ously near the jugular vein. An ex-
ample will be made OF the guilty
party II he is apprehended. im

The Marion and Bucyrus

CONTESTS VERY INTERESTING

The Ellks Attend to Business and
Arrange for the Picnic on Next
Thursday - Local Lodge News
Which Is No Secret.

The American Insurance Unions OF
Marion and Bucyrus held a joint pic
mic in the Shearer grove. ten miles
north of Marion, Thursday About
one hundred members of the local
lodge and sixty-fve of the Bucyrus
order, were in attendance. The affair
proved a most delightful one and was
probably the most successful outing
In the history of the Marion lodge.
The Marion delegation left for the
grove on the 10 o'clock interurban
car. There were many features dur
ing the day. Among the most interest
ing was a baseball game between Ma
rjon and Bucyrus. Through the su-
perb pitching of Theodore Stafford
the Marionites won the contest by
the score of nine to eight.
An informal program of speeches
was held. Mrs. Tyro and Mrs. Swank
OF Bucyrus gave interesting readings.
Mayor Louis Scherff of this city gave
an enthusiastic address. A quartette
from Bupyrus rendered several pleas
ing selections. A mock wedding in
which the groom was from Marion
and the bride from Bucyrus, prove%
humorous feature. There were cake
walks, saving wood contests, racing
contests of various kinds and there
was surely something doing all the
time.
The picnic broke up early in the
evening and Marion people returned
home on the 6 o'clock car.
