SAYS He is Guilty.

Shortly after midnight John Junk
ms, a negro confined in jail here charg-
cd with the murder of Clara Rosen
confessed that he killed the woman at
Ottumwa He stated, according to the
officials, that he was alone when the
crime was committed and that he had
no accomplices. The confession was
made to Sheriff Griffin.
Junkins said he had trailed Miss Ro-
sen to the home of her sister the night
Of the murder, where he watched her
until she emerged an hour later and
then crushed her skull with a stone
which he picked up. The negro de-
clares he did not assault the girl
only robbed her of her purse and dia'
mond.
.Junkins was not taken to Fit. Madi-
sor. as at first stated by the police, for
the purpose of preventing a possible
lynching. Junkins told where tae
stolen iewelry could be found, and
a searc.l in the home off Frank Weav'
er of Ottumwa, today revealed the
girls purse and other stolen trink
cts in the attic. Junkins will be
brought to Des Moines early today
Sunday for safe keeping. Junkins
declared that Weaver was not
party to the attack

WHERE FALL FLOWING FAILS.
Not Every Soil Is Suited to Breaking
Ground Before Winter.


Much has been said through the col
umns of the Prairie Farmer about the
conservation of moisture and fertility
of the soil, writes a Rock county
(Neb) correspondent. Two things
you have recommended and urged
more than all others, namely, fall
blowing and the preservation of the
humus in the soil by the addition OF
stable manure. The methods used
and urged are undoubtedly practical
in large part of the west; but in thi!
particular section, where we have {
light, sandy soil, light rainfall, an(
are subject to prolonged windstorms,
the question is more complicated, OF
rather has different complications.
Seven out of every eight of th<
fields in this county would be ruined
in three or four years if they were
10 be plowed in the fall and narrowed
smooth and left exposed to the winter
and early spring winds. l know o.
many old fields that will not grow
enough weeds to cover them, and IL
many instances are adjoining fieldi
! that have produced more grain ant
have been in cultivation for more
years, that are still producing from
20 to 80 bushels of corn and in som,
cases as high as 40 bushels.
The difference is all due to tn
fact that the one has been repeatedly
left exposed to the sun and wind
while the other has been protected by
the stubble, the stalks or weeds, otter
through no forethought of the owner
| have seen pieces Of good lant
| plowed, planted to corn, carefully cul
tfvated, the crop gathered and the
4 stock turned In to work the stalks
down, and as result the wind ha.
/ been busily carrying off the very
cream of the soil on every windy da,
through the fall, winter and spring til
planting time, when the operation
would be repeated.
With good wild hay at two tt
three dollars per ton, no one can af
ford to cut up his corn or pasture the
/ frozen stalks. They are worth too
! much more as protection to the pre-
cious soil.

Of the awful crime. Mrs Parks. who
had seen Junl1ins in the Rosen

STAINED hat was brought out. For
three hours every art known to the
ro'ice was tried on Junkins and he re.
manned as silent as the tomb. The
