THE USE OF SIN IN THE WORLn
The Theosophlsts say That Through
Il We Reap Experience and uh'-

New York, Aug. 5.--Mrs. Annie Bes.
ant the visiting exponent Of Th'o-
sophy says she has solved the
riddle that psrplexed Job and drove
omar to divorce barren reason and
wed the iocund daughter Of the grape.
The presence Of sin and suffering in
the world. she told her auditors, is TO
be explained by the hypothesis OF re-
incarnation, > part Of the cult she
teaches. Neither Of the other two
theories Of life into which she divided
the creeds and PHILOSOPHERS Of tho
World-the orthodox theory and tic
scientific or evolutionary-accounte

Sin and suffering, said Mrs. Besant,
are experience, and give increased
spiritual power for the next incarna-
ton. We 60 on sowing sin and reap
ing experience until we attain ulti-
mate perfection.
As evidence Of reinearnation In the
world about uS, Mrs. Besant instaneed
the vague memories intuitions OF
immortality"-of little children and
the common phenomenon Of a sudden
unexplained attraction one often feels
for a total stranger. That stranger,
said Mrs. Besant, had been a friend IN
a previous common reincarnation.

JUDGE GLlRKSON
pIsAPPEARED FROM Hle HOME
KENosHA, WIS., JULY a
EIohteen Years Ago He Wander
ed Away and Was Found Then
IN same NelehboFhood.

Keuosha. Wis, Aug. 7.-Judge
Joseph r. Clarkson, who disappeared
from his home here on July II was
foupd al sabula, Iowa, BY John Burns,
one OF his close friends who has been
searching for him since he left Keno
sha. Judge Clarkson In company with
Burns took q train and II Is expected
that he will arrive here to-day. Tine
telegram telling Of the finding Of the
man was brief and gave no details o.
his wanderings for the last three
weeks.
It was only few miles from sabuls
that Judge Clarkson was found IL
years ago when he disappeared from
Omaha under circumstances similar
TO the present case. After returning
home Judge Clarkson could re
member nothing Of the weeks during
which he was walking about the ccun
try. One OF the strange features Of
the case Is the influence which caused
him to retrace the steps which ht
took on the occasion of his first disap
pearance.
When found Judge Clarkson wa
busily engaged in cutting buttons ant
he had been so employed since July
30. He suddenly came to his senses
when informed that he was Judge
Clarkson and said that he was HAPPY
that he had been found.
Perhaps the most puzzling TACT o
Judge Clarkson's case is the fact al
he states it, that while suffering from
lack OF memory Of his true identity
he had an incessant desire to d
manual labor. 1t was that same un
accountable desire that held him i
years ago when he was found WORKING

GREATEST KANSAS CORN CROP
Never In the History Of the sunflower
state Have Prospects Been
Better.

Toueka, Aug. 7.-Kansas never had
such prospects for corn crop IN her
history. The probable yield staggers
the statisticians. The acreage this
year is 1880, 2S7, or over 100000 acres
more than last year. The crop IS y
better condition at this time than i
was in 1889, the year the bumper CROP
Of 27S 1000, 900 bushels was produced.
James r. Koontz the crop man fol
the Santa Re, is now gathering up
6Rures on the coming crop. He VIII
soon be able to give out his estimate
while he has not gone far enough 70
quote figures, he says that crop con
ditions never were SO favorable.
The Rock Island crop man says the
people in the corn belt will raise SC
much corn they won't know where to
pile It. An average Of 40 bushels an
acre is predicted by some OF the
big millers Of the state. This would
make crop Of over 100000, 900 bush
els. The lowest prediction made BY
any Of the crop experts is 2is,OOO,OO(
and the highest is S25,OOo,OOO.

at Donna, Mr. Hannum said that
fifty-four teams were put to work
there Monday About 5000 yards
of dirt work are to be done and he
hopes to have it completed in the
next thirty days. A great improve
ment on this system will be the re-
placing of the five wooden fumes
that were more or less damaged by
the flood by inverted siphOns. Over
1000 feet of A gauge, 90 inch cor
Tugated pipe, feet in diameter Will
be used in these SiphonS which are
from 100 to 300 feet in length each.
At the river pumping plant, where
there are , Sc inch pumps, only one
of which has been used, and one
boiler. Mr. Hannum said, the ca
pacity is being doubled by the install
IatiOn of a new 150-hOrse power
boiler, while at the second lift, a
24-inch Morris pump, a 200 horse
power engine and $50 horse pow
er tubular boiler are now being put
in, more than doubling the pres
ent capacity of this plant. North of
the railroad, Mr.. Hannum said. lat
terals are being extended to the La
Blanca tract of 10000 acres, which
they are under contract to water,
Bids are now being received for
