EBERHART
WILL SPEAK
MINNESOTA CHIEF EXECUTIVE
TO ATTEND.
CORN AND GRAIN SHOW
TO BE HELD AT MITCHELL JANU-
AIRY II TO %, 1910.

In 1906 the first State Corn Show
was held at Mitchell, S. d. Since that
time there have been two others
one at Mitchell and n at Sioux
Falls. From January 18th to 22nd,
1910, will be held in the city of
Mitchell, the fourth State Corn Show.
The past shows have been given
over entirely to the exhibiting and
study of corn. At the last meeting
of the association it was decided that
srain should be added and that the
name of the association from
on should be South Dakota Corn &
Grain Growers Association.
South Dakota is coming to- be a
great corn state, but it is also a great
grain state as well. and it hardly
seems right that the two lines Of work
should be separated in a state as
Young as the state of South Dakota.
IN combining the corn and gain in
forests in this one association it is
not the intention Of those vitality in
crested to cut down in any way the
interest attached to corn, but merely
to make the association more state
vide in character. There are GER
tain sections of our state that raise
very fine grain, but in which the rails
ing of corn is to a CERTAIN extent fol-
lowed with a question mark.
Those in cha~ge wish to make this
next show the best one hat has ever
been held in the state. The corn crop
the past season has been magnificent
and there is nc reason why We
should not have some very fine ex-
hibits at this show. The oats and
wheat have also been very good, but
as much cannot be said of the barley
but it is hoped that some portions of
the state can show nice exhibits of
this crop. Premiums are also offered
OH clover seed, timothy and alfalfa
in order to stimulate interest In the
grasses and clovers.
The seed corn situation In the
state this year Is very critical because
of the hard freeze coming so

"Ah!" Giovanni stroked his lips
doubtfully. ut is not like the signor
to plunge blindly into adventures like
this"
1.-THE very word, blindly. I go blind
folded, AMIGO. What do you think OF
that?'
"Blindfolded?" Giovanni was horri-
fed. 1T is a trap he cried. They
will as~sassinate you. No; you shall
not go! In Rome. at the carnivals, it
Is an old game. They will rob YOU"
Take the number Of the cab as l
get In. If anything should happen,
give the number to the police"
Giovanni, with a sharp movement Of
the hands, expressed his resignation
to the worst. He knew the futility Of
arguing with his master. But he fol
lowed him down to the hall and tied on
the bandage himself. He was honest
about 1t, too. for Hillard could see moth
ing. Then the messenger boy took him
by the hand and led him to the car
rage. AS the two were climbing in
Giovanni spoke rapidly in his native
tongue.
"There is no number on the car

The carriage rolled off toward the
club, where the dinner, hot and smok-
ing, was taken on.

early In the season without the corn
being in shape for this freeze. On
this account 1t is pointed out that
the corn school which is held In con-
n~ection with the show, should be at.
tended by every corn grower and
everyone interested in seed corn. For
this reason more than any other. ac-
cording to those at the head of the
show, 1t is important that one know
something about the selecting and
testing Of his seed so as to get the
best results. The school will be in
charge of Prof. Willis of the State
College. Prof. Willis will be assisted
by corn men both from within the
state and from without. Those who
have been in this work will be called
upon to give special talks along these
lines. 1t is planned that everything
in connection with the show and
school shall be educational in value
and 1t is urged hat no farmer can
spend four or five days to better adj
vantage than at the State Corn Show
and corn school. Not only will the
farmers be able to get this instruc-
ton from the experts, but they will
have occasion to brush up against the
best corn growers that the state Of
South Dakota produces and will thus
have an opportunity to exchange ideas
on the growing, breeding and selec-
ton of corn.
1t is expected that Gov. Eberhart
Of Minnesota will address the meet
ing on n Of the days. Prof. Cross
ley, Of Ames, will be in attendance
at the show two days and will ad-
dress the meeting several times du-
ring the time he Is pres mt. 1t is
expected that Prof. Holden, the "a
corn expert Of Iowa, will ad-
dress the meeting at one time, though
it has not yet been definitely arrang-
ed for.
Outside Of the exhibition and the
school, the premiums hat are Of
fered on the best corn are worth con
sidering. Premiums all the way
from s1.00 to $500 each are list
ed to- be offered for the best corn
exhibited in the various classes and
districts of the state. Just because
n may be in a northern district
where large orn is not produced,
does not mean that he does not have
an opportunity to compete, for tie
state is divided into districts so that
everyone has an opportunity to take
some of the premiumc.
Farmers interested ere urged to
send for a premium list, look it over
and then make their plans to attend
the school and send their best corn
to be exhibited at the show. They
should get the premium list at once
and look over the rules governing the
exhibits so they will not make any
mistakes and get their exhibits in too
late to be properly entered. Program
and premium list will be furnished
upon application to the SECRETARY

Southern Pacific

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Failure of denial

schnitt, representing the Southern Pa
clfic; Captain Payson, president of the
Northwestern Pacific, and myself. said
President Ripley of the Santa F'e in an
interview today.
did you agree that the extension
shall be made?" Mr.. Ripley was asked
"That 1 do not care to answer. The
whole thing will become known In
time"
HAS the matter been referred to the
various boards of directors?"
Speaking for my own road, no; but
it will be next week.
Mr. Kruttschnitt, through his con-
fidential clerk, sent word the matter
had not been settled.
'It is not the custom of railroads to
announce such plans in advance" Mr.
Kruttschnitt said.
He made no specific reply as to the
attitude of the conferees.
The extension would tap section Of

Officers and Bites Off
Detectives Finger

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 2.-Barri-
caded in his home at 314 Monroe street,
defying the entrance of the police,
John Glinderman, supposed to be in
sane, murdered his wife about $50
this morning by choking her to death.
Then he put up a desperate fight with
officers before he was arrested
The report that an insane man was
in the house armed with two revolvers
had brought a force of police to the
place and soon a large crowd gathered.
Glinderman threatened to kill the first
man who entered and he held the Off
GERS at bay for fifteen or twenty
minutes.
Not knowing that any one was in
the house with him. the officers hesi-
tated to enter until it was reported
his wife was in the house. Then a
rush was made against the door and
the officers after a desperate struggle,
overpowered the man, but not until
after he had nearly bitten off the fin
ger of Detective Weir and kicked and
scratched the other officers.
Mrs. Glinderman was then dis
covered lying in a bedroom, with
marks on her throat showing that she
had been choked to death.
Glinderman was formerly an inmate
