SEED CORN AT $40 A BUsHEL.

Iowa Farmers in Spirited Bidding
at an Auction.
O'Brien county, Ohio, farmers
need not go to the Iowa Corn Show
at Des Moines or the National Corn
Show at Omaha in order to secure
big prices for good seed corn. At
the Thomas Rankin public sale in
Dale township, about four miles
from Primghar, five bushels of last
years seed corn sold quickly at $40
per bushel, it all being purchased by
George Scott, farmer of the same
township, at that price, he paying
an even $50 for the lot, after some
spirited competition from his neigh
bors.
The bad fall and early severe win
ter weather has made the gathering
of suitable seed corn difficult, and
many farmers express the fear that
there will be shortage of good seed
next spring, hence this unusual high
price at public sale

The Herald Says They Are Admitted
ly on the Increase in Albany.
Blind tigers and gambling were
subjects that were given long and
earnest consideration at meeting of
the board of police commissioners
yesterday afternoon
Mayor N. f. Tiff, ex-ofTicio chair
man of the commission, brought the
subject up, and the discussion that
ensued was lengthy and earnest. All
the members of the board were pres
ent as follows: p n Booker, Dan
Brosnan, A. c. Plonsky, S. w. Smith
and E. r. West
1t was admitted by members of
the commission that the blind tiger
and gambling evils show all outward
evidence of being on the increase in
Albany but it was also admitted
that offenders of this character are
difficult to apprehend. Also, it was
asserted, it is difficult to secure con-
victions in blind tiger cases even
when arrests are made of the most

FEARFUL NAMES FOR SOME
OF THE ODD HUMAN FEARS
Agoaphoba Afraid
CIansrophoba Keep Away Spaces.

New kinds of ailments are discov-
cred every other day-doubtless the
ailment itself has been in existence
always, but it is for the first time
clearly defined if not exactly anal
yzed. In an article in the DietetiC
and Hygienic Review odd Kinds OF
Human Fear" are discussed, and
among them "agoraphobia" the
fear of open places (literally, mar
ket places), and "clanstrophobia, y
the fear of closed places.
Agoraphobia is supposed to be an
inheritance from our arboreal an
cestors, who only felt quite safe
when far aloft in the swaying tops
of the trees; and clanstrophobia
seems to be due to a reasonless in
tuition that if one enters a narrow
space death by suffocation must fol-
low.
Another odd sort of fear is ALI
urophobia," the fear of cats, and
with regard to this pet aversion of
many persons it is said:
Some Have Cat Asthma.
There are plenty of people who
have that fear; those who have cat
asthma; who have fear on seeing
cats without excessive emotion in
consequence; who are perturbed

An incident During Service at Ok
ford Church Topic For Talk.

OXFORD, Ga.-Dr. James E.
Dickey, president of Emory College,
is lover of good music. He likes
to join with his congregation in sing
ing good, old-fashioned, familiar
hymns, provided they are sung to
the good, old-fashioned, familiar
tunes; but when the choir sets the
words of hymn he learned to love
when a boy to a new-fangled tune,
full of runs that can't be followed
by the ordinary singer of hymns the
doctor fails to appreciate the operate
performances. Nothing strange
about that, is there? Most any man
who isn't musician often wishes
that some tunes had never been writ
ten, but DR.. Dickey doesn't stop
there. He closes his Bible and
hymnal, stops the choir, and opens
up singing school, or at least he
did at the oxford church Sunday
morning.
The opening hymn had been sung
according to the preachers liking;
the opening prayer had been offered,
and the only thing needed before the
sermon was another hymn in which
all could join. DR.. Dickey an
nounced the number and said it was
to be sung by the familiar tune"
Promptly the organ began grinding
out strains that sounded like the
prelude to grand opera. The doc
tor sat down; the choir tried to
sing; the congregation giggled. DR..
Dickey squirmed about in his chair
through several stanzas, but he
couldn't go it all, so sprang up and
silenced the choir. He asked them
to try it to another tune, and they
started again. This time you could
tell it was church music, but the
choir did the singing. The presi-
dent shook his head, and endured it
patiently until the song was finished.
He had once led the singing for over
a hundred ladies at a state conven-
ton of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, and he knew that he
could lead his home congregation
So, Lets try Rock of Ages, FL" he
said, and began it, and the congre-
cation enthusiastically sang the
hymn through
Then followed one of DR.. Dickey's
magnificent sermons.

MACON MEN ARE ACQUITTED
BANNON AND WACHTEL TRIED
IN EXCHANGE BANK CASE.
Charged That Overdraft Was Fraud

MiIledgeviIle to Testify.


Plan. C. NJ. Orr Brought From
MiIledgeville to Testify.
MACON, Ga-The trial of Charles
p. Bannon and Alex Wachtel
charged with embezzling $4,000
from. the Exchange Bank, after last
ing two days was ended here tonight
by the return of a verdict of not
guilty at IL o'clock.
Bannon and Wachtel were jointly
charged with ENLIGHTENMENT of funds
from the defunct Exchange Bank.
1t was charged that Bannon, who was
assistant cashier and bookkeeper of
a portion of the individual ledger
accounts, connived with Wachtel to
overdraw the latter's account to the
extent of approximately $4,000.
In his statement Bannon explained
that he allowed Wachtel to over
draw, as he did many others, and
that he had no intention of wrong
doing, although he violated the rules
of the bank. The defendants con-
tended they were promised that no
prosecution would result if restitu-
ton were made to the receivers.
They paid back $4,000 of the al
legged overdraft.
1t was the effort of the state to
bring out that the accounts of the
Exchange Bank, particularly the
Wachtel account, had been manipu-
lated and falsifed, and that the
Wachtel account had been improp
erly used and kept by Bannon. The
state endeavored to prove that Ban
non had made false entries on the
Wachtel and another account, there
by running up an overdraft of over
100000 and at the same time con-
cealing it.
A. J. Haltiwanger and S. G. Coop
er, expert accountants, testified as
to the alleged false entries and ma
nipulation of the Wachtel account, |
and explained to the jury the meth
od by which the overdrafts and |
shortages were concealed. The ac-
count was shown in a series of books |
extending over nearly four years.
The accountants testified that Ban |
non, who kept the accounts from L !
to z, would give Wachtel false credit
on the book, frequently doing this |
by prefxing, for instance, a Il" to
an actual deposit of $500. The cred
it was thus made $1,000. 1t was
shown that check drawn by Wach- !
tel usually followed an entry of this
character. The entries several times !
ran as high as $4,000 and as small
as $3.50, according to the witnesses.
This verdict brings to an end the, |
prosecution of cases growing out of !

Clifford M. Orr, the cashier, was con-
victed of embeZzlement, and is now
serving a sentence of seven years. |

guilty of declaring false dividends, !
and his case is now pending before
the supreme court.
Orr was brought from Milledge-
vile to appear as a witness for the
state, and Cabaniss was also pres
ent in the same capacity. Orr was
secluded in the solicitors Office all
of yesterday, no one but officials of
the court and attorneys being al
lowed to see him.
