Don't Get Panlcky," He Tells the

Topeka, Aug. S.-"Don't get pan

Cochel of the state agricultural col
lege; Bank Commissioners Sawyer

Kansas Bankers association; for
mer Governor Bailey. president o
the Bankers association; Albert T
Reid and G. C. Wheeler.
"The only legitimate reason
said Governor Hodges, "for the ship
ment of stock cattle out of the stat,
is shortage of stock water. Kansa!
has plenty of food and forage tc
carry all its live stock, even though
not a bushel of corn should be ma
tured. The average acre of corn
this year will furnish sufficient
lroughage to carry a breeding COW
or a mature steer through until
grass, provided the corn is placed
in a silo so that all its nutriment is
available. With wheat straw, it will
go much further.
Experiments made last winter at
the Hays experiment station showed
that twenty pounds of silage, sew
enty pounds of wheat straw and one
pound of cotton seed neal made a
daily. ration that carried the cows
through the winter, and added fifty
pounds to their weight, the prices
are better
: "'For $500 man can put up silo
which will hold 10 tons and at
forty pounds. per steer day that
will feed a lot of cattle during the
winter. The food put into silo is
all food.
Don't sell your stock now on a
falling market but conserve every
ounce of the forage already being
raised Put 1t in the silo carry
your stock, through the winter and
be ready to take advantage of the
better stock market that is bound
tss 10 p,
to follow. Kansas is not badly hurt
now She does need to guard against
the adverse conditions that will fol-
low next year If the stock is rushed
to market at this time.
Reports are coming into this Of
flee of spectators who are prepar-
ing to buy up stock with view of
selling 1t back next year at two
prices. Don't get panicky and play
into their hands"

SAYS BOOTH KILLED HIMSELF
Lincoln's Assassin Escaped, Accord
ing 90 Nels Darling.

John Wilkes bOOth, ACTOR anu a.
sassin of President Lincoln. was
not killed by a soldier on the Gar
rett farm. as is the current belief
according to Nels Darling, Oklahoma
City business man and lecturer. who
spoke at the chautauqua last night,
Mr.. Darling has made a study OF the
life OF the queer assassin and says
he has proofs to substantiate his
statements. He says Booth died
January 10. 1903 in Enid, Ok, q
suicide, after a former attempt up
on his life In Hennessey, Ok.
Mr.. Darling knew Booth in 1896
in Hennessey, Ok, when he went
under the name of D. e. George, a
house painter. And very poor one
he was, according to Mr.. Darling.
"After the surrender at Appomat-
tox 1t was decided that Lincoln must
be assassinated," Mr.. Darling says.
Booth agreed, and by the aid OF
Johnson, who gave the password,
was enabled to escape through the
Union lines over the Potomac. The
man shot on the Garrett farm was
Ruddy, farm hand. Booth arrived
at that farm in making his escape
and asked Ruddy to return through
the woods for some papers he had
lost. Ruddy agreed, but on his re-
turn found that Union troops had
arrived. Booth already had fled on
a horse, though that was not gem
orally known. Ruddy, fearing that
the presence of Booths papers on
him would endanger his life, hid in
a corn crib. The soldiers surround
ed the crib, set 1t afire, and one man,
disobeying orders, shot the man
they believed was Booth. The fire
prevented Identification, as the
mans face was charred 1t was be-
lieved John Wilkes Booth had been
killed.

imagined he was going to die and
confessed his identity to a man

next known in 1895, in Hennessey,
Ok, where he attempted suicide and
confessed to his landlady who he
was. Then he went to other places !
in Oklahoma and finally to Enid,
where his second attempt at self
destruction was successful.
Booth often said he lived hell
on earth and said as he died that
he had learned the terrible mistake
he had made. He had believed the
assassination of Lincoln a patriots

BABY 1RAMPLED
upon BY HORSE

Grand Forks, N. D., Sept. 25.-
Louis, the 3-year-old son Of Mr..
and Mrs. S. Hellar Of 1926 First ave-
nue. south, was seriously, If not fatal
ly injured at d late hour yesterday
afternoon by being bitten and tram
pied upon by a horse, belonging to
Charles Ginsberg, a local junk dealer.
The child, according to the story of
his father, had been riding with his
older brother upon a bicycle and had
just Deer let down by the brother and
was about to run to his father.
The horse, which Mr.. Heller claims
is a vicious animal, grabbed the baby
with its teeth and threw him under
his front feet and trampled upon him,
intiicting several cuts and bruises and
stepping ON the child's abdomen.
While the condition of the boy cannot
be determined at this time because Of
the administration of chlorOfOrm by
the attending physician to relieve the
intense suffering, it is believed that
the baby will recover, unless internal
injuries develop.
The horse had been left standing in
front of the Hellar residence by Mr..
Ginsberg, who lives at AS Oak street
and was making a business trip about
the city, buying junk.
Mr.. Hellar Is a timer at one of the
local shops and has made his home in

PARTRIDGE FROM POCKET OF
BUSINESS MAN.

GWinn, Mich, Sept. 25.-Game War
the possessOr of a cocker spaniel puppy
that is proving of great aid in ferret
ing out violations of the game laws.
The latest achievement Of the dog was
to bring about the arrest Of w. l..
Marble of Gladstons q manufacturer
of sporting goods.
Leisner and Game Warden John
Rough of Negaunee were tramping
along the road to Willett lake in Ma
sonville township, Delta county, when
they came up Mr.. Marble m his son,
F.. w. Marble of Gladstone, who were
driving in a carriage from camp at the
lake, where they had spent several
days. The officers inquired concerning
the location Of various camps in the
vicinity and were about to proceed
when Leisner's puppy jumped upon the
carriage and showing its nose into Mr..
Marbles coat pocket, pulled out a
partridge.
Mr.. Marble was ordered to appear in
court in Escanaba. Upon reaching the
lake the wardens found the heads Of
five more p~artridges at the place where
the Marbles had been camping.
On h same trip the Wardens Wis
tied Long lake in Alger county, where
Leisner's dog assisted in bringing the
Wheeler club Of Chicago to book. The
club is composed Of five men, who have
been regular visitors there and have a
large permanent camp. The wardens
found venison steak on the table. The
charge of having venison in his posses
sion out of season was preferred
against Ellis H. Wheeler, who assum
ed all responsibility. The remains OF
many partridges were seen astrewn
about.
While the wardens were inside the
camp Mr.. Leisner's dog, investigating
outside the building, found a large
piece of venison wrapped in mosquito
netting, hidden under a log. Mr.. Wheel

A Way to Woo Sleep.

The following method Is described
as one which is almost certain to WOO
slumber with success. On going to bed
you assume a comfortable attitude in
which every muscle is relaxed but not
the attitude in which you are accus-
toned to go to sleep, though m
thing resembling 1t. Every movement,
coughing, yawning, are strictly re-
pressed, especially the desire to turn
over. The same attitude Is maintained
without change, constantly resisting
the longing to move or turn over.
AS a rule, by the end of Is or 20
minutes Of this persistent maintenance
OF the same attitude yOu will find your-
self growing very drowsy and just as
the desire to turn over becomes abso-
lutely uncomfortable, you turn with
the least possible effort, and assume
the position in which you habitually
go to sleep and natural sleep follows
at once This method, 1T Is asserted,
seldom fails and should be given a
thorough trial, at least before resort
ing to a drug to bring sleep.

First Map Made About $50 8. c.

Anaximander. a pupil of Thales,
about $50 B.. c.. sketched the first map.
1t was in the form of a disk. Democ-

with a wider range of knowledge, drew
"a new map, giving the world an OBJ
long form, showing extensions east
and west, rather than north and south.
The first application Of astronomy to
geography was made by Pytheas of
Marseilles, about 326 B. G., he having
made the first observation Of latitude.
Hipparchus OF Nicaca, 162 B. c., first
determined latitude and longitude.
.Marinus Of Tyre, about $50 B. C., was
the first to make use of Hipparchus'
teachings In representing the countries
of the world. Claudius Ptolemy of
Potassium, Egypt, about 1872 "A. D., was
in reality the first scientific mar max
err. Notwithstanding errors In bound
aries and locations the method was
correct. The Romans contributed moth
ing to map making. No Improvement
was made In 1t from the time Of
sPfolemy until the thirteenth century,
when a map appeared In Italy which
was constructed with the aid of q
