Of Kansas City Star as Fun.

h. KANSAS CITY. April a Funer.
al arrangements for William r. Mel
son, editor Of the Star who died this
morning, were being completed by
the family today. Mr.. Nelson had
been unconscious since Thursday
last. Death was due to uTaenic pois.
5oning.
Mr.. Nelson s last conference with
his associates took place in his bed
room the day before he became un-
conscious. It pertained to the neces
sity Of Keeping up the f ght for hon
est elections That is fundamental
for democratic government Z he said.
~ may not be here to see the fight
won. But the Star will f ght on with
all It's resources until the present
rotten system is broken down.
William Rockhill Nelson was:
founder, owner and editor Of the
Kansas City Star. Although he did
not enter the newspaper business un-
til he was nearly 40 years old. he
brought to it such originality, ability
and energy that he built up one OF
the greatest newspapers OF the coun-
try. %
Mr. Nelson was born il Fort
Wayne, Ind, March n, 1871 He
ancestors. His maternal grandfather,
William Rockhill, settled in Indiana
when that state was a wilderness in
1873. and was the first farmer in
America to plant a thousand acres
OF corn. His father. Isaac DeGroh
Nelson, was identified with the up-
building OF the state and took an ac-
tive part in it's poliIicalg1ife.
William Rockhill Nelson was edu-
Gated at NotresDame University At
ter a shorttexperience as youngster
in cotton growing in C GeorEia Just af-
ter the war. he returned to Indiana
and became a general contractor. He
engaged in the building OF roads,
payements and bridges. and was as
sociated in contract for the con
struction of the southern Illinois
state penitentiary. 81,
Intense admiration for the reform
work of Samuel j. Tilden brought
him into contact with that great
Democrat and when only 8 years
paign manager. His interest in politt
ical lead dership made him turn to
newspaper work as the best way to
influence men In the ma SIS. He
bought an interest in the. Fort NTayn+
Sentinel and business reverse de.
termined him to devote all his time
to journalism.
He soon became convinced that the
opportunities IN Fort Wayne were toe
small. and after looking the field
over. he decided on Kansas City as
the most promising city of the coun-
try. He persuaded his Fort Wayne
partner. Samuel T. Morss. to make
the venture with him. They sold
their Fort Wayne Interests, went tc
Kansas City. and started the Evening
Star as a little. four page Afternoon
newspaper. on septemberf.1 8. 1880
Mr.. Morss withdrew from the enter

the call of the Baptist church here,
has written the church that his church

the first week of the March term o.
the Pike county circuit court at the
request of the board of supervisors

March 8, instead of March /, and con
tinue three weeks, which it is though
will afford ample time for him to dis

VEGETABLE OUTLOOK.

Crystal Springs. Miss. Feb. 10 -
Weather conditions the past seven
days would have been quite favorable
for the prospective vegetable crops,
but for having had rain twice. Satur.
day night and Sunday we had very
heavy rains.
On Thursday afternoon and night
this section was again visited by a
rain, so that January's record for
rains every three to five days has been
continued this far in February.
Cabbage plants, as general thing,
are smaller than the usual sizes at
this date, although a portion of them
are as large as usual Owing to the
frequency of rains up to this time, it
is perhaps not unfavorable that the
plants are not large, because of the
delay in transplanting to the fields,
which work has been done to only a
very limited extent. A little tardiness
in setting plants in the fields does not
necessarily mean that the crop will
be late, because the growth, late in
the season, is so much more rapid
than it is at this part of the season.
The little tomato plants are in splen-
did condition. The tendency to Damp
off" noted in last weeks report, has
been entirely checked by the more IA
vorable weather we have had the
greater part of this week. Plants
are up to the usual standard at this
date, and earliest predictions of small
increase in acreage hold good.
Continued rainy weather has inter
fered with the planting of peas, al
though quite an acreage has been
planted and many more will be plant
ed next week if weather permits.
Acreage will be somewhat below the
usual amount.
Weather has been comparatively ia
vorable for strawberries. While it has
not been especially cold, it has not
been warm enough to cause them 20
grow much the past week.

DOUBT ACREAGE REDUCTION

Jackson, Miss, Feb. 10. - There
seems to be a disposition on the
part Of a good many farmers and
editors in the hill counties of Missis
sippi to discredit the promises of tha
delta planters to reduce their acreage
IN cotton materially. and in the event
that impression is not dispelled before
planting time next spring, the chances
are that just about as much cotton
will be planted in Mississippi as last
year. However it is known here that
the delta will decrease it's cotton acre
age materially. Thousands of acres
have already been planted to oats
wheat, clover and alfalfa, and on land
on which cotton grew last year.
