The Dutch painters of the seven

They used their eyes and painted VIVA,

While most modern painters ntcrprc,
how The scene has affected themselves,
the Dutch looked at it AIS something
entirely outside themselves.
Otherwise the Dutch landscapes pre-
sent us pictures of pleasant work

that follow after the labors Of the day
never a hint of disturbance. though
war and rumors of war were constant
instead. the perpetual suggestion oi
prosperous peace and thrifty comfort

busy humanity. Not only is nature

''Corn is injured by the dry
weather. is the dolorous report
from Vermont to Kansas. That
talk will soon be over. In rea-
sonable measure hot weather
is the best thing that can hap
pen to corn. 1t develops and
ripens the grain at this time of
year. A few weeks ago cotton
was a despairingly short crop.
Now in Texas the rains have
come and that state thinks that
it may have 100000 bales, or e
third of the country's total. The
3,O00,00O,O0O bushel corn crop
will be found before frost. -

Mr.. BDorman's talk before the
Hamilton Chautauqua on Sun
day: Yesterdays crowds at
the Hamilton Chautauqua were
the largest since the opening,
and during the day and even
ing several thousand visitors
were en- the grounds, the cay
being an ideal one for an affair
of its kind and the grounds
cool and pleasant.
Many persons from the sur
rounding country drove to
Wild Cat Park, the Chautau-
qua ground; the interurban
carried several hundred from
this city; and a like number
from Warsaw. At 2::30 Hon.
H. M. Boorman of Atlantic, la.
delivered his famous lecture on
The Trial of Jesus" which was
listened to with intense inter
est.
This lecture has been deli, .
cred in all parts of the country
and has met with universal
favor.
1t not only touches the sub.
ject in a legal sense but also
discussed those features of the
trial that bring out social in1lu-
ences of the time, which were
such potent influences in deter
The result.
The speaker was clear in his
thought, incisive in his logic,
and forceful in his argument.
Those who heard MIR. Boor-
man yesterday heard a great
theme discussed in a masterful
way and the hour was a delight
full and educational one for his
listeners.
In a later issue of the same
paper devotes over a column to
of Mr.. Boorman's lee
ture, giving a complete sum-
mary of the thought, and end.
ing in this way.
Mr.. Boorman held the unflag-
ging attention Of his audience
to the last sentence of his ad-
dress. Praise for the splendid
presentation of his subject was
heard and others who
among them the ministers who
heard him and others who are
students and thinkers. 1t may
be readily understood why MIR.
Boorman has received common
dations and personally favor

reputation. Mr.. Boorman will

Leon Ling was not true. The story he
told yesterday was branded as false

dragged contradictory after conrtadic.
tory story from the Chinaman has
been practically without result.
Today the Chinaman says he did not
see Elsie killed, but saw her body af-
ter the killing. He says Ling came to
his room and said Elsie was dead ar
dying, asking Ching to help him dis.
pose OF the body. He then went to
Ling's room and saw the body on the
bed. Her face was discolored and her
mouth was covered with a bloody
handkerchief. He still denies that he
saw rope about the girls neck He
saw Leon prepare the runx tor ,he
body, but left the room before the
body was placed in the receptacle,
When he returned Leon was gone.
