MILLION DOLLAR CORN CROP.
Allen County's Yield This Year VIII
Bring That Sum.

lola. Kan, Aug. 1O.-There has
never been such a prospect for a corn
crop in Allen county as is now shown
by the green fields which are scattered
throughout the county. The season
has been almost perfect There has
been an absence of wind, the calm
ness being very unusual. The rains
have been timely and abundant, rather
exceeding the demand in the early
season and causing grass and weeds
to smother some fields that were low.
1t has been a warm, moist, growing
season and the upIands have produced
fields that rival the best the bottom
farms have ever turned out. Today
the corn stands at close to 100 per
cent in grading and it requires but a
little more favorable weather to break
Allen county records.
Last year the acreage planted to
corn in this county was 7O,32O As
Stunning that there is an equal amount
of corn out this year. and it is easily
possible that there is a larger acre
age, as the wheat acreage is reported
to be less, and one-can realize what it
means-70, 800 acres sof corn yielding
40 bushels to the acre-means a total
total crop of 2.812, 500 bushels. Corn
is now quoted pretty high but at 40
cents a bushe1, a price recently paid
here, that crop would mean $1,125, 100
to Allen county farmers.

MAN FELL FROM SECOND STORY
WorIman's Arms Broken and His
Skull Fractured

Leavenworth. Kan, Aug. 10.-While
moving mill rollers William Atkinson,
a Iaborer at the Great Western ma
chine shop, was thrown from the door
in the second story of the shops to the
loading platform, breaking both arms,
fracturing his skull and injuring him
internally. His injuries may prove
fatal.
Atkinson had been assigned to move
mill rollers from the second story to
the elevator shaft, then lowered and
loaded into the freight car for ship
ment. When he raised the truck on
which he was wheeling a 900 pound
roller to almost vertical position the
lower end of the roller slipped from
the truck to the floor while the upper
end fell against the truck held by
Atkinson. The impact was too great
for Atkinson at an unguarded moment
and threw him backwards out of the
door and fifteen feet down to the rail-
road platform on the north side of the
Great Western shops.

and if it would be advisable to pillow it
up, or leave it as it is before putting
on the new layer of rock and crown.
The road expert will also be sent
samples of stone from the various
quarries and he will determine the fit
ness of same for the road. Many of
the quarries have a very soft quality
of stone that would not be well adapt
ed for road work.
Mr.. Ziegler stated that the road ex-
pert would be one of the best invest
ments that the state had if the people
in the various counties took advantage
of the offering and used him as they
should. He has the reputation of be-
ing one of the best men in his line of
business and can tell how to build and
take care of a road.

hats AND COATS OFF IN CHURCH
Women Resent First Order But Men
Approve of Both.


Junction City, Kan, Aug 10
Rev. Clarence Williams, pastor of the
First Methodist church, created a di-
vision in church service by requesting
the ladies of his congregation to re-
move their hats. Notwithstanding the
preachers diplomatic assertion that
he admired the modern peach basket
style of millinery, and merely request
ed the removal of the samples before
who might want to see as we'll as hear,
the fair culprits showed distinct signs
of pOuting.
Perceiving that his popularity was
in danger, Mr.. Williams decided upon
a counter move, and sprung a surprise
at the evening service by requesting
the gentlemen present to remove their
coats.
Distinct approval shone in every
male countenance and a scramble to
comply with the suggestion followed
For the remainder of the evening
every man in the audience looked as
comfortable as a lavish display of
negligee shirt could make him. And
now, while the ladies are still pouty
and disposed to criticise the preach
er's up-to- date methods, it is needless
to say that the gentlemen are for him
to a man.
''I will not remove my own coat.

NEW ROAD m FAR EAST.
Work Has Commenced on the An.
tung- Mukden Road in Korea.

tung-M ukden Road in Korea.
Tokyo, Aug. 10.-There is no sign
of any disturbance anywhere along
the line of the Antung- Mukden rail-
road, reconstruction of which has
been begun by the japanese govern
ment.
1t Is believed that Japan's action in
beginning the work at this time is
taken in full confidence that China
will not have recourse to anything
approaching warlike measures.
The Japanese government believes
the Chinese authorities are fully
aware of the gravity of the con-
sequences that would follow forcible
resistance to the Japanese plans.
The press of Japan is generally sup
porting the government. 1t is
significant that some papers, not
usually friendly to the government,
are supporting its present action.
It was reported today that Japan
has received advices from Pekin in
which the objections of the Chinese
government to the reconstruction of
the Antung-Mukden railroad and its
conversion into a standard gauge line
are completely withdrawn.

The League was formed this week,
the following officers being chosen:
President, A. H. Mccormick; vice
president, W. II. Anderson; secretary.

of government is wanted by the ma
jority OF the citizens.

will be done, Secretary Shout explains
so the comm issiOners can be kept
in line" Attorneys will be employed
to look after matters of interest to
