county poor farm, near McClelland, has
been begun. Already samples of corn Sc
cured from about seventy five farmers in
different sections of Pottawattamie county
have been planted. The work of gather
ing the seed and planting is being done by
a representative of the Agricultural En-
tension department of the Iowa State col
lege at Ames.
In addition to the general experimental
field. a breeding plot has been planted,
the purpose of which Is to demonstrate
what can he done in breeding corn. In
order to do this a careful record is kept
OF each ear used for seed.
O.. II. Barritt. superintendent of the
county poor farm, is in charge of the ex-
pertinent station, as he was last year. The
farmers, Mr. Barritt states, are, If any
thing. taking a greater interest in the
work of the experiment station this year
than they did last season.

Mrs. Hester Cordrey, OF Delmar, Del,

vigorous advice to girls of the present

of the Comstock properties. There had
been rumors of impending changes and

gree prepared for the shock

Hall has been made consulting engi-
neer for the pumping association and

of Franklin Leonard Sr.. one of the
powers of the Sutro tunnel company.
There has been also rearrange-
ment at the Yellow Jacket and Crown
Point properties z. S. Sturges will
become general manager. taking the
place of James H. Kinkaid, who will
act hereafter as superintendent.
The shakeup has come about through
the desire of E. A. sturges. The Penn

PARIS, June 5.-Mary Garden lies
tonight in dark room, unable to bear
the slightest may of light Not only
are her eyes affected. but her whole
nervous system is so completely disar-
ranged that it will probably be long
time before she appears again on the
stage. Her illness, as well as the cause
of it. has been kept profound secret.
Shortly after her arrival in Paris
Miss Garden stained her hair with some
new mixture, warranted to give the
hair a golden color. with CLEANS of red
The process was slow one. and ne
cessitated number of applications.
This in turn brought about slow poison
ing.
Evidently the chemicals in the hair
dye were of an unusually searching
character, for after few applications
Miss Garden found that her optic nerves
were affected.
She did not, however. attribute this
to the use of the hair dye. but to some
constitutional disturbance. and contin-
ued the use of the application. The
result was most disasterous. and to-
night Miss Garden lies with bandaged
eyes in a room from which every ray of
light is excluded
