PROHIBITION BILL VETOED.
Governor Patterson, of Tennessee
Refuses to Sign Measure.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 19.-Gover-
nor Patterson this afternoon filed
with the clerk of the senate a mes
sage vetoing the Statewide prohibi-
ton bill, which last week was passed
by both houses of the legislature.
The Governors action followed ad-
journment of the senate, after it had
passed, on third reading by vote OF
20 to 13, the prohibiting the manu-
facture in Tennessee of Intoxicating
liquors.
The veto message will be read to
the senate tomorrow, morning, when
it must be sustained or the bill pass
ed over the. executive protest. On
original passage the vote was 20 to
13. Opponents, claim tonight that
they can count on a change of three
senators to their side, and that the
fourth member on whose vote the
fate of the measure depends, is wa
vering.
In his veto measure, Governor Pat
terson charges that such legislation
is against the Democratic platform,
and the doctrine of self-government;; !;
that it sets aside the recorded will of
the people; that experience has
taught that no arbitrary law was
ever obeyed, and it's enactment
brings no settlement of the question;
that it . destroys property, reduces
State revenues, increases taxation,
takes money from the people to send
it elsewhere, foments discord, i'm
pairs the dignity of the common
wealth, fosters hypocrisy and invites
evasion and deceit in the people.

Killed Himself in Church.

Savannah, Ca. Jan. 22.-In pos
ture of prayer in St. Patrick's church
here, and with a bullet hole through
the temple, the dead body of Otto
Schueitzer, of Philadelphia, was
found to-day, several hours after the
fatal shot was fired.
Two notes were found, .one be-
queathing 81 for est. Anthony"s
bread" and another expressing regret
vaguely that he 'had permitted him
self to have any i'll feeling. -
Schueitzer had been here but day,
reaching the city aboard a steamer
from Philadelphia early this morn
ing.
The shot that killed him was not
heard by any one, traffic in the street
in front of the church drowning the
report. When found the pistol the
man had used was lying beside his
knees as he knelt in 4 pew.

This is the news which comes from

The reason for it lies in the fact that
the voters are not generally registered.

This question of adopting or rejecting
the commission system of government
is as important a one as the people OF
this city have ever been called upon TO
decide. On it there should be as full
an expression of opinion on the part

be unsatisfactory to have the PROPOSE

What is wanted is a full vote on this
question and that can only be made
possible by a full registration. There
should be enough civic pride among
each and every voter in Topeka to make
that registr alton complete.

CORN AND DRoUTH.

The fertilization of corn by the pol
len is, of course, we'll known to be
absolutely essential to the production
of a corn crop, and it is coming to
be understood that the worst effect
of drouth upon corn is that If it oc-
ours at the wrong tine-or the right
time, whichever way one looks at it
the pollen in the tasse1s on the stalks
will be so dried as to be of no value.
This year there has been partial de-
struction of the corn crop over large
areas in Kansas and Oklahoma, and
someone has suggested that this loss
might have been prevented by the
simple device of skipping every tenth
row at the regular time of planting,
and planting it two weeks later. In
case the weather turns SO intensely
hot as to destroy the pollen in the
tassels, these later stalks are almost
certain to tassel out and fertilize the
entire field. 1t appears that this prac-
tice has already been adopted by
few Kansas farmers with satisfactory
results.-Manchester Union.
