 GilchriSt Case.

Little Rock. Sept. =S.=This is the day when the negro boy, Earl Gill christ, does not hang for murder. The Northern press, and the kind hearted have been hard to convince that the boy is not and now and has not been in danger of the gallows, and the petit tions for pardon and protests against execution have continued to flood the governors office up to the last,

 From Henry Taylor, sheriff. Cleve- land. O.. came an appeal on behalf of 150,000 people. to commute the sen tence. To this and several other telegrams, Gov Donaghey sent the following: No such case before me. The case referred to is before Su- preme Court and may never come be- fore me, at least not earlier than a year hence. Neither the people. the courts, not the governor of my state would permit the hanging of any one. white or black. fifteen years old"
 From P. o. Tangent advance agent of the American Party, Findlay.

RUSH THRFSHFRS 10 WHEAT FIELDS SPECIAL CREW OF MEN GUARD MACHINES AS CAREFULLY AS FAT STEERS ON WAY TO MARKET ARE LOOKED
 AFTER.
4OO.OOO.OOO BUSHELS
Provinces Will Gather 2OO, O,OOO, ,OOW Bushels of Wheat and as Much
 More Oats.

Chicago, Sept. S.-Guarded and watched over as carefully as a train load of fat steers going to market, a special train of fifty big freight cars of harvesting machinery is speeding from Chicago to Winnipeg to help gather in the enormous grain crops of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al- berta, estimated at 200.000.000 bushels of wheat and 2o0,000,00 bushels of oats, barley and flax.
 In the central sections Of these provinces cutting has progressed rap idly and time is of such importance that the trainload of threshing mach ines has been given the right of way over other freight, straight from the factory of NJ. Rumley X Co.,, at La Porte, Indiana, through Chicago to Canada. Special men have been as- signed to accompany the train the en- tire distance. It came from La Porte over the Lake Shore to Chicago. It has left for Duluth over the Chicago X Northwestern, and will go from Du- luth over the Canadian Northern through Fort Frances to Winnipeg. From Winnipeg the machines will be distributed as rapidly as possible. Be- tween twenty and thirty cars will be rushed to Regina in which district cut ting of all unusually big wheat crop has been nearly completed, with not enough threshing outfits to handle it.
 The following estimate of the grain crops of these provinces shows the magnitude of the harvesting and mar keting problem that western Canada is facing The figures are admittedly conservative

TOTAL .... 4os, ,ooo. .ooo bushel

TOTAL .... 409, 100000 bushels
 This will mean a big demand upon the railroads as we'll as upon the re- sources of the farmers to harvest the crop. It will require 100000 cars to
 That these total estimates are not too large is indicated by the first re- ports received from Edmonton in AL berta after cutting was started. Wheat standing six feet high and showing d prospective yield of forty bushels per acre was waiting for the reaper in the Clover Bar District east of Ed

monDn. Prospective oat yields in that district average nearly 100 bush els
 This big crop is due to two causes, a good growing season with ample moisture and rains at the right time, and the great influx of new settlers which has increased the acreage under cultivation by at least million acres over last year.
 J. Bruce Walker, the Commissioner of Immigration at Winnipeg, recently estimated the total immigration into western Canada for this year at 4OO,- 900, which is all increase of S5,000 ov- CT the last fiscal year. Many of these 100000 immigrants settled on the land and immediately began to cultivate it.. The gain in cultivated land in Cen tral Alberta alone amounted to more than 30O,Oo0 acres.
 The bankers of Western Canada are figuring that this years wheat crop alone will bring into the country from $200, 100000 to $235 100000, and the other grains will add another hundred million dollars to that figure.
 This will mean that the western Canadian farmers will have $300,000,- 900 with which to settle their accounts with banks, farm equipment dealers, and retailers Practically all of this money will be put in immediate cir piI1afinn

There is young artist in Wash

being somewhat off in drawing, gener-
ally makes up for his lack OF tech
niQue by spreading color recklessly
and counting on distance for his ef-
feet.
At an anna eur exhibition he once
hung one OF his most extraordinary
performances.

artist had taken to slc the work, Il

but that if far and away the best
stuff you have ever done | congrat-

to glance at tht picture-and turned
very red. The committee had hung
it upside down!
Hurrying to the head of the COM
mittee, he was about to launch into a
loud complaint, when he was inform

fore the picture had been sold for SCI.
