CLOVER SEED


While it is true that in some Sec
tons of Christian county, the corn
crop is very short, yet many farm
ers say they will have a good crop.
This applies to the sections where
the farmers had frequent showers.
The clover seed crop is said to be
the largest ever produced in the
county, over 100 per cent, some
farmers say. Clover seed are now
selling at from $3.50 to $3.50 per
bushel. With this bumper crop to
dispose of at good prices many of
the farmers will be able to recover
their losses sustained by the short
age of the corn crop.

Panama Ditch Digging Running
Ahead of Schedule
Time.
PASSAGE OF SMALL VESSELS
Soon. One Month More Of
Cleaning Up and RemOv-
Tracks.

Washington, Sept. 8.-Completion
of dry excavation on the Panama
canal Saturday, just ten days ahead
of schedule time, advanced the
work on the great waterway almost
to the final stage. Much digging
and cleaning out remains to be done
in Culebra Cut and along the route,
but this will be accomplished by
mammoth dredges floating on the
surface of the canal.
An army of men will be busy dur
ing the next four weeks removing
steam shovels and other equipment
and material, including thirty-six
miles of railroad track, from the
nine-mile channel in Culebra cut be
tween Gamboa dixie and Pedro Mig
uel locks. This is preparatory to
turning water into the channel from
Gatun lake on the Atlantic side on
October 5, five days in advance of
the date for dynamiting Gamboa
dixie, and although the five day per-
iod hardly will suffice to fill the
channel to one third the canal level,
enough will be let in to act as a
a cushion against the explosion when
the dixie S destroyed.
Small vessels probably will be able
to pass through the canal from end
to end by Oct 10, and the waterway
should be ready for shipping proper
early in December.

Engineers in charge of the eXca-

Paul Meinig, of Savannah, Takes
Life After Two Attempts.

Savannah, Ca, Oct. 12.-Paul
Meinig. a painter, to-day committed
suicide by hanging after making two
Intellectual attempts to win death by
other methods. Meinig first severed
the artery in his right leg with a
razor. Later he severed his right
hand at the wrist. Afterward he
hanged himself to a beam in an out
house. His body was discovered by
his nine-year-old son. Evidence at
the coroner's inquest to-day indicated
that he was temporarily deranged.

PIPES COLD AIR FROM WELL
Oklahoma House Cooled by Rush OF
Wind From Underground Stream.

One of the most remarkable wells
in Oklahoma is owned by j. c. Nc
Spadden. at Tahlequah, Okla. This
we'll not only furnishes an abundance
of pure water, almost ice cold in the
summer time, but affords a supply
Of chilled air which keeps the Nc
Spadden home cooler on the hottest
day than any summer resort within
a thousand miles.
When the we'll was sunk it was for
a cistern. When about 80 feet deep
the bottom broke through revealing
a sort OF cavern, in which there was
a tremendous flow Of cold water.
The we'll was sunk years ago, and
the water has remained at the same
level ever since.
One may open the coves of this
we'll and his hat Will be lifted from
his head by rush of air from the
we'll. Unlike most underground
streams, this one changes tempera-
ture in the water, getting much cold
er, and ice five inches thick has been
known to form in the we'll.
Mr.. McSpadden sealed the top of
the we'll with a concrete cap and
placed pipes in it. Through one of
these he draws his water supply.
Through the others he draws sup
ply of cold air that is piped through
every room of his siX-room cottage.
These pipes reduce the temperature
many degrees even on the hottest
days.-Muskogee correspondent Kan

in our power to wipe out the wrong
that is being done. The poor peo-

sharks as you, and we trust that
YOUR sentence will be notice to you
and all your kind that the courts
have found way to put stop to
usury.

money. In passing sentence the
Court has only to consider the facts
and the surrounding circumstances of
this case. A poor man earning a
salary of $40 week needs money
and goes to this defendants office
for q small loan. He gets it, but
for $40 he must pay over 200 per
cent interest. This is the worse case

LOAN SHARK KING" IN JAIL
Pending an Appeal, He is Put in a
TombS Cell.

New York, Oct. 11.-Daniel H. Toll
man, known as the Loan Shark
King" who had offices in siXty-three
Canadian and American cities, with
main offices in New York was con-
victed yesterday before Justices Zell-
er, Russell and Forker, in Special
Sessions, of lending money at usu-
rious interest. He was sentenced to
serve six months in the penitentiary.
Frequently Tolman has been ar
rested and he was convicted in an
other State, but hitherto in New York
he has escaped conviction. He has
done so by hiding his operations be-
hind women, whom he has hired to
conduct his offices and be the scape-
goats in case of prosecution.
His present conviction comes at
time. when according to his own
statement, he has retired from the
business. His retirement followed
the warning given by Judge Gnichtel
in Trenton, n. j., who last August
fined the loan shark $1,000 follow
ing a plea of guilty and placed him
on three years probation with the
warning that if in that time he loaned
money at an illegal rate he would
be recalled back and sent to jail.
Arrested in His Office.
Tolman came to New York the next
day and as soon as he reached his
office at No. Sc Pine street he was
arrested in connection with the
charge on which he was convicted
yesterday. A few days later he made
the announcement that he had sold
his business and was going to re-
tire
He came to court accompanied by
Allen Caruthers his counsel. He took
the stand smiling, benevolent look
ing old man with gray mustache, gray
hair and the stoutness that comes
from comfortable living, and explain
ed that he was not in the business
of lending money, but that he was a
buyer of commercial paper. .
AS he heard the crushing words.
Six months in the penitentiary, the
color fled from his face. His coun-
sci announced that he would appeal
at once, but in the meantime Tolman
is in the Tombs
Justice Zeller, in passing sentence,
said.
