that Eyth and Mrs. Flack went to-
gcther, though it is not known to a
certainty whether they went to Abb
lene, Enterprise or elsewhere.
Pinkerton detectives have been set 10
work in an effort to find Flack; Gov
ernor Stubbs has offered reward of
$3.50 for his capture. and the Dickinson
county commissioners will meet tomor-
row to offer an additional reward.
The theory has been advanced since
it became known that Mrs. Flack was
in Topeka that she is seeking to obtain
clemency for her husband and that II
there should be assurance of lenlency
in his case, the defaulter might return
and stand trial on the charge that has
been brought against him.

Washington District.

Seattle, Sept 15.-The result of the
Republican primary in the First con-
gressional district is still in doubt, with
the chances favoring William E. Hum
phrey. regular. He has substantial
plurality of the total vote so far re-
ported, but the law provides that un-
less a candidate receives 40 per cent
of the total vote second choice votes
shall be counted. At present he lacks
nearly 100 of attaining 40 per cent
If the second choice provision becomes
effective Humphrey will be overwhelm-
ingly beaten. Thomas p. Revelle, in
surgent, claims the election, saying the
precincts yet to report will help him.

The WORLDS SERIES.
Will Not Begin Before October 16
Says HERMANN.

Cincinnati, Sept 15.-Chairman
Hermann of the national commission
said yesterday he had practically given
up hope of seeing the worlds series
begin before October 16. the day after
the st. Louis Nationals and Chicago
Cubs are scheduled to play the last
game of the season.
Two weeks have passed since the
national commission instructed Presi-
dent Lynch to meet with President
Murphy of the Cubs and President
Robson of st. Louis and attempt to
induce them to arrange their schedule
so that the worlds series could be
started a week earlier Lynch has
made no progress and as several games
which were to have been played by the
Cubs and st. Louis have been post
poned on account of bad weather since
that time, there is hardly a chance of
an arrangement being made which will
permit the worlds series to be played
at an earlier date than the present
schedule will permit.

HE will follow the usual rule in Re-

How 10 Raise Corn

"You farmers try to corn too much
land" ]. H. Miller, superintendent
of farmers institutes, told the farm
erS "You believe one man and
three horses can tend ninety acres Of
corn. You can't do it. Plant fewer
acres, tend it better, use better seed
and grow more corn than ever. Bet
ter fifty acres Of corn at forty bush
els to the acre than ninety acres at
twenty bushels. 1t is more important
to cultivate at the right time than to
cultivate at all. Use two-row cult
vators so you can get through the
corn faster at the right time and you
will add five bushels to the acre.

An Earned Tucrement"

There is part Of the public that
will make cruel jokes on the catastro-
phe to Kansas wheat, baSing their
witticisms on the probability that
Kansas will yet have big crop, and
that the farmers who must replant
their fields will have to put in some
crop that is now selling at high fig
ures. This part Of the public acts as
if the Kansas farmer will look lazily
over bis wheat land, remark casually
and pleasedly that the plant is dead,
and ordain that corn shall grow on
those acres instead. The Kansas
farmer, or any other farmer, for that
matter, doesn't perform his farming
operations by fiat directed to the
forces of nature; he does not sit in
his Office and say "Let there be $40
hogs" and there are $40 hogs ia bis
pens; he does not announce that corn,
or grass, or oats, or alfalfa, or wheat
are going to grow where he wills. He
buys or raises hogs, feeds and care:
for them, markets them, and pocket.
