Chicago.-I. G. Rawn, president of
the Monon railway, was shot through
the heart and instantly killed at his
summer home in Winnetka by a
wouldbe robber. The burglar es-
capped. There is no clew to his iden-
tity.
Servants and women in the house,
aroused by the shot, found Mr.. Rawn
lying in the hallway on his face. The
front door was open. There was no
one in sight
The fact that the murder was com
mitted by burglar was established
by the finding of jimmy marks on the
door, which had been forced open.
The story of the shooting of Mr..
Rawn was told by Ralph G. Coburn. a
LOn-in.law of the victim.
Mrs. Rawn was awakened by
sounds on the first floor of the house,

seems to have ambitions in that direc-
ton. Reports from Tiflis are to the eff
feet that the area sown to cotton this
year Is double that of 1909 In one dis
trlct 400 acres are devoted to the
4tape., That is a tiny fraction of the
total in the United States, but high
prices have stimulated cotton growing
wherever practicable, and the aggre-
gate result may be substantial gain
IN the foreign output.

The latest government report is ad-
ditionally favorable to a big wheat
crop. The returns. as interpreted by
the skilled statistician of the New
York produce exchange, indicate a to-
tai harvest of 702 404, 900 bushels,
against an indication for the same
time last year of 652.35l 900 bushels.
The estimate for 1909 fell below the
actual result, for the total yield last
year was 37,159, 600 bushels. Should
there be similar excess this year there
will be a good chance for record
breaking output

 And in addition to that, many peo- pie from Louisiana and Texas and some from Mississippi and even from Alabama, are coming to this state to spend a part of the heated term.
 While the railroads are not getting the long passenger hauls. hundreds of people are spending the summer in this state who heretofore helped to fill the coffers of hotel keepers and to make demands upon the nat ural resources of other states.
