THE RIPPER"

Mr. Layer was an arrival from
Lebeau last night, having walked
the intervening 90 miles. he
claims he was the victim of a
highway robher during the trip
who relieved him of his pocket
book containing some Sl10. He
says that at point about 9 miles
north of the Little Cheyen bridge
he laid down tor a few minutes
rest: that he fell asleep, and on
awaking, which he declares was i'm
about l5 minutes, he found a cut
in his pants pocket thru which the
thief bad filched his pocketbook.
He thinks a clump of bushes a
short distance away afforded hid
ing place for the bold pirate.
Our county sheriff chad orter,
come over and see about this. as
there is extreme danger of others
getting robbed too by this skillful
highWayman.

We do not think any excuse cap.
be offered by our farmers now for
neglecting arboriculture. A large
percent of the failures of the past
were undoubtedly due to two rea-
sons viz: the untitled soil and the
Importation of roots and young
trees that were both unacclimated
and damaged or dried up on arriv-
al SO much that they were really
not fit to plant.
Now, water and the titled ground
are far plenticr than they were i'm
those old days of drouth, prairie
fires and gumbo or harapan; but it
seems to us that the right system
for forest and grove planting has
not been found; that once discov-
cred, there would be no farmer
but who would experience Joy and
delight as we'll as profit in having
q timber belt.
Firstly, it seems to us that the
hedge-row is the proper beginning
of timber belt.
Secondly, ash, boxelder and elm
seed are to be had along the Old
Muddy in the fall for the picking,
besides cottonwood and willow
cuttings in the spring. Here is
your acclimated seed. Why not
pick them by the wholesale and
drill them in WHERE THEY
ARE TO STAY like you would

come up, and you proceed to thin

KAFFTR CORN LOOKING GOOD.
Withstood Drouth on Upland Better
Than Other Crops.

Wichita, Kan. Aug. 1.-Kaffir corn
probably viii be much more popular
crop for the upland farmers in this
vicinity in the future than it has been
in former years. Farmers from the
upland east of the city say that kaf-
fir corn has not been affected by the
dry weather. AS a drouth resisting
crop there has been no staple crop
planted in the vicinity of Wichita this
year which can compare with kafir
corn.
Rains which fell during the dry
period this summer were scattered
thunder showers which drenched some
localities of small area, and missed
other tracts altogether. Even in the
spots where there was the least rain
the kafir corn promises to make a
good crop.
In the river valley ssoout Wichita
ordinary corn, with the exception of
fields which were planted very early
promises as good a crop as could be
desired. but on the uplards much OF
the Indian corn has suffered. Even
in this section, however, kaffir corn
| is looking as well as ever. and the
farmers are counting on big crop.

Prisoner From Kearney County Seeks
Discharge From Pen Hospital.

Lakin, Kan, Aug. The Clark
case from Kearney county. the case
that was similar to the Thaw case, in
volving paranoia. and the first case in
which the court applied the new Grim
inal insane hospital law has been re-
opened.
George W. Clark is asking release
from the hospital for the insane at
Leavenworth-a branch of the state
penitentiary under present arrange
ment-alleging that he has been
cured"
In substantiation Of his claim,
Clark's attorneys present a certificate
from the physicians, ana insist that
this shall be sufficient.
Judge Thompson refused to accept
this as sufficient, stating there must
be further proof that Clark would
not be dangerous to the public The
state resists the effort to release the
patient prisoner
Clark who killed Ezra Carter near
Hartland last November, was tried at
Lakin last winter, and IN sentencing
him, Judge Thompson called atten-
ton to the new law for the criminal
insane. and sentenced him according
ly. Claiming the new law could not
be retroactive. and that that was
what the courts decision amounted to

worth hospital: and now seek his re-
