the communities where these exhi-
bits have been held for the past few
years are very enthusiastic over
them.
In those places the farmers come
every day for week and listen to
the lectures, in addition to the one
day exhibit.
AS will be readily understood the
object of the exhibit is to get the
farmers to raising better grains and
in a more scientific manner. The
pure bred seed grains furnished by
the Agricultural School produce a.
bout so per cent more crop per acre
than the common varieties, and be
ing bred especially for this climate,
they always mature before frost.
Every exhibitor at the contest, whe
Their prize winner or not, will be
given some of this seed free, and
next year there will be special prizes
for pure bred grains.
Prof. Moore. the head of The State
School. will judge the exhibits and
address he meeting in the afternoon.
He has the reputation of saying moro
in one hour to interest a farmer than
any other speaker in the country can
in all day.
The full premium list viii be pub
lished next week.

THE WISDOM
SIN RIVER
Who Owns 1t?

The attorney'fOr the riparian claim
ants has informed us that he has no
thing further to say on. this ques
ton. So under the rules of debate
1 may sum up the discussion, anG
confine my comments to such matters
as already appear on the record.
In your issue of October 18th when
this river was acting wild, l asked
the question, who Owns This
Stream?'', and mentioned the fact
that this question is pending before
our supreme court and would soon
be settled; and on the assumption
that both the public and the riparian
claimants have each some interests
and rights in that river, l expressed
the hope that these interests and
rights would be divided and defined
by the court in such way as Ito re
suit in the greatest good to the great
est number" and that the question
would never stay settled until settled
on these lines"
One of the attorneys for the ripar-
ian claimants who seems over anx-
ious to serve his clients in court
and out of court, without waiting for
the court to speak, appears in your
issue of October 10th, and decides
the case, and answers my question
by telling us that his clients own it,
and that 1.-The state has not now and
never had any title"
In your issue of October 18th /
called his attention to the fact that
the United States by the provisions
of the ordinance of 1887 declared this
and other streams in the North West
Territory forever free to the inhabi-
tants of said territory, to the citizens
of the United States and to the states
to be formed out of the said terri
tory. And that afterwards this river
was surveyed and its boundaries
fixed at high water mark by a line
called the ''neander line" that the
subdivisions of the sections next to
the said boundary line of the river
were called ''Iots" and their area
computed on the assumption that the
''meander line was one of the bouq-
daries of such lots, and these lots
were afterwards sold and paid for
by the acre, and the patents under
which his clients now claim title,
specify the number of acres convey
ed in the sale of each of said lots.
But his clients now claim more
acres than are specified in their pa
tents, and that too, without having
paid any consideration for what they
claim beyond the meander line. They
now claim all the unsurveyed islands
between the meander line and the
center of the main channel; they claim
the bed of the stream and the water
that flows over it!
In answer to this claim l asked
the attorney for these lot owners to
tell us:

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear There
is only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the EustaChian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbllng sound or imperfect hearing and
when 1t is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused bv
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition OF the mucous surfaces

STEVENS CASE
DISMISSED

The hearing of Guy Stevens which
has been going on in Judge Pomain-
ville's court was called Wednesday
morning at ten thirty o'clock, w. E.
Wheelan appearing for the defend
ant and Charles E. Briere, district
attorney, appearing for the state. Guy
Stevens was put on the stand and
stated that he did not go by Foley g
saloon on Thursday evening, Sept.
28th, but that he did pass there a
bout $50 on Wednesday evening,
Sept 9th, and saw some women in
the hall way and thought he heard
his name mentioned, but could not
state positively, he was dressed in a
blue serge suit, had on white collar
and shirt, fixes day as Wednesday
because it was the day the COW caus-
ed trouble on the bridge. The defend
ant moved he be discharged from Gus
tody. The District Attorney stated
to the court that he personally though
that there was sufficient evidence to
bind the defendant over to the cir
cult court, still in view of the con
flicting evidence, he thought the in
terests of Wood county would be bet
ter protected by dismissal at this
time with the right to start over a.
gain in case new evidence developed
later. The defendants motion was
granted by the court and the defen-
dant discharged from custody.
Contrary to the popular understand
ing, this is a hearing and not trial
and the taking of evidence is not put
ting the defendant in jeopardy, or
in other words, should new evidnece
develope later against any person,
a new warrant could issue

One Of the most significant features
of the Progressive campaign is the
Roadway it is making in the east. In
the popular mind insurgency is asso-
ciated with such states az Nebraska
Iowa and Kansas. The fact of the
matter is that there is no state in
the Union where the Progressive mo7
ment is growing as fast as in the
state Of Pennsylvania. Several La
Toilette Clubs have already been or
ganized in that state and more are il
the process of organization Hun
dreds of letters are received at the

them originate in Pennsylvania than
