RAIN H|NDERS
FARM MEETING
HOWARD'S TALK DELAYED AN
HOUR FOR ATTENDANCE
MORNING PROGRAM Is
OMITTED.

Heavy rains which prevailed in
this section early today greatly re-
duced the attendance at the statewide
farm bureau meeting which was
scheduled to open this morning at
Lake Madison for two-day session.
So few had arrived by 10 O'Clock that
ii was decided to omit the morning
program.
The address which was to be given
by j. r. Howard, national head of
the farm bureau federation and the
principal speaker of the meeting, at
1870 this afternoon, was delayed an
hour in order to give farmers more
time to drive in. Local farm bureau
officials notified all the farmers
living on the 26 rural telephone lines
leading into Madison that the time of
Mr.. Howard's speech was changed, in
hopes that many would make an eff
fort to hear him.
Shortly after his arrival this morn
ing, Mr.. Howard addressed the nor
NAL schoo, students at chapel hour,
and at mon he, together with DR..
Willis u. Johnson, president of the
state college. was an honor guest at
a luncheon given by the local farm
bureau at the lake cafeteria
The banks and practically all bus
iness houses closed their doors at
1880 o'clock to give their employees
chance to hear Mr.. Howard's ad-
dress. Gov. w. H. McMaster, who
was to give short talk this after
noon, had not arrived at o'clock.
If the weather permits the evening
program which includes an address
by DR.. Johnson and several musical
numbers, will be carried out as sched-
uled.

ENDS LIFE WITH
BINDING TW|NE
GRIEF STRICKEN OVER DEATH
OF HUSBAND, WOMAN KILLS
HERSELF.

Corsica, June 9-Mrs. Aka Keun-
ing, living thre miles north of Corsi-
ca, committed suicide by strangling
herself with binding twine. Her
body was found in the basement of
their home.
1t is believed Mrs. Keuning's sui
eide was caused by grief over the
death of her husband, who died two
weeks ago after suffering for some
time with cancer of the stomach.
Mrs. Keuning braided strands of
binding twine together, threw them
over stringer, stepped upon an egg
box, and after adjusting the strands,
evidently kicked the box from under
her. The body was found pitched
forward, the balls of the woman s
feet touching the floor.
A family of eight children survive
Mrs. Keuning. The oldest is IL years
old and the youngest is a nursing
babe.
The Keuning family was in good
circumstances financially and had q
good home. Mrs. Keuning did not
need to worry about financial mat
ters, but it is believed she was tenn
porarily deranged from grief

Are Held Over

No contracts were awarded on the
bids for coal for state institutions at
the joint meeting of the board of
regents and the board of charities
and corrections today. The two
boards met with number of coal
dealers and after discussing the mat
ter it was decided to let the matter
remain open for short time New
bids will be accepted at date to be

awarding coal contracts for the fis
cal year beginning July /. to await
the outcome of the coming strike and
the readjustment of freight rates.
The state institutions use about 12.-
900 tons, according to the bids asked.
The state coal commission submit
ted bid of $225 a ton for Ignite

nounces that the act making approp-
riations for the department OF the in

for the discontinuance.

mineral survey notes, homestead sur
vey notes, maps and records are to
be turned over to Secretary of State
Charles Burkharf, the order states,
or to 'such other officer as may be

Gov. McMaster suggested to the
department some time ago, the order
continues, that the records be ship
ped to the capitol building, where
suitable space would be provided for
them and where they would be care
fully guarded.
The records, while they are TO be
shipped to the secretary of state, are
to be in custody of John T. Coogan,
register of the United States land of
flee at Pierre, until the state by
legislative enactment shall have
made provision for their reception
and safe keeping"
The surveyor office here. regarded
as somewhat of political plum .

sions. but each time influence has
been exerted to prevent its discon.
tinuance.

is expressed that the Currier ranch.

MRS. LIVINGSTONE adored art
AVA Art with a capital A, not the
KIND whose sign-manual is the milk
lng-stoOl or beribboned picture
frame. The family had lived for some
time in shabbygenteel house on
Beacon Hill, ever since. indeed, Mrs
Livingstone had insisted Oh her hus-
bands leaving the town of his birth
and moving to Boston-the center Of
Art taccording to Mrs. Livingstone).
Here she attended the Symphony
concerts ION twenty-five cent tickets),
and prattled knowingly of Mozart and
beethoven; and here she listened to
Patti or Bernhardt from the third bal
cony Of the Boston theatre.
To be sure, she occasionally read
novel or book Of poems trifie less
ancient in character, but never unless
the world had rung with the authors
praises for at least a score of years.
The stamp of Times approval was
absolutely necessary to the aspirant
after Mrs Livingstone's appreciation.
Indeed, there was only one OF the
present-day celebrities who interested
the good lady at all, but that one at
tracted with a power that compen-
stated for any lack In the others.
OF course he was famous-he had
been for thirty years. She called him
the "Inimitable One" and set him up
