ILLINOIS FOR ROOSEVELT; WON IN THE PRIMARIES.

Champ Clark Gat the Democratic Delegates—Deneen For Governor —‘Dunne His Opponent Theodore Roosevelt swept Illinois in the presidential preferential primaries Tuesday. Apparently he received about, "two votes to one for Taft. LaFollette did not figure very strong. Roosevelt carried practically every county and will get all but two and possibly, all of tbe delegates, in Illinois. This will give him 56 or 58 ‘delegates from thst state. Champ Clark, of Missouri, gave the learned Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, an even worst beating, getting about three votes to the latter’s one, and all of the delegates. Charles S. Deneen was renominated for governor by a plurality estimated at 70,000. He defeated Wayman, Small, Yates and others. Edward F. Dunne, former mayor of Chicago, received the democratic nomination, defeating Alshuler, Caldwell, and Dixon.

Anticipates Much Seed-Corn Difficulty—Local Test Made.

The Orange Judd Farmer and other agricultural journals have been sounding a seed corn warning during recent weeks. The above named publication says: The seed corn situation is frightful. It has not been so bad for twenty years. It is exceedingly doubtful whether seed corn for the next year’s crop at this time was ever in as poor condition. Much of the corn was late, heavy rains during September, October and November prevented drying out on the stalk and even where the seed corn was husked early and placed in drying sheds, the large humidity in the atmosphere prevented thorough curing.” *The article goes on to state that the early cold weather froze the coni and destroyed the germinating power before the corn dried.. In lowa, the article states, only a small pei* cent of the best corn will be fit for planting. A prominent farmdr in Douglas county, 111., after making a thorough test of seed corn intended for the market, reports that only 60 per cent is fit for planting. The writer takes a very pessimistic view of the situation and figures that much labor will be lost In planting corn that will not germinate. B. W. Ellsworth, of Barkley township, recently made a test of crib corn, taking ears from different parts of the crib. He says that he did not find a grain that was fertile. With the corn that had boon hung -up tor seed he found It about all right, but he figures that people who go to their cribs to .get their seed corn are going to have a lot of trouble. y'._ / ' The Orange Judd Farmer insists that all farmers*’should test their seed and do it without delay. The following . method is recommended: .

“Take six kernels from different parts of every ear, place them in a germinating box, either homemade or purchased, and place in a compara T ively warm location until the corn begins to sprout. The ears that start quickly and grow vigorously are the ones to keep for seed. Be exceedingly careful about this, as it may mean all the difference between profit and kiss in your farming operations next year.”

PROPOSES TO PUT MATCH FACTORY ON ITS FEET.

Hugo Kohn, Chicago Capitalist, Has Entered into Agreement to Invest Large Sum In Factory. Hugo Kohn, the Chicago capitalist who was here two weeks ago to look over the match factory plant and proposition with a view to investing in it, was here again today, Wednesday. He has entered into a contract with Mr. Sterling by which he agrees to invest $32,500 as soon as the present debts of the concern are paid. The contract also makes Mr. Kohn the general manager and treasurer of the United States Match Co. Mr. Kohn has canvassed the proposition very thoroughly and has, proven that he is a man capable of handling the business affairs of the company. He hopes to have several local stockholders associated with him and the opportunity is offered to buy preferred stock with a guaranteed dividend or common stock at $65 for each SIOO Mr. Kohn has been busy investigating the match manufacturing business since he was here before and he has decided that the investment offers a probability of an annual earning of from 14 to 25 per cent If the stock can not be sold to local parties it will probably be sold in Chicago but Mr. Kohn would much sooner have it in the hands of local parties. As soon as the present outstanding accounts are adjusted Mr. Kohn will take active control of the Situation and complete the factory and start it in operation. He presents the factory in a very favorable light and deserves the encouragement of all in getting it started up.

Will Secure Artificial Leg For Henry Nevill.

A paper was started Tuesday afternoon to secure money with which to procure an artificial leg for Henry Nevill, whose misfortune in the loss of his right leg a few weeks ago has unfitted him for the class of labor he formerly performed. The paper was liberally signed, practically every person asked contributing to the cause and more than half the SIOO required was raised the first afternoon. The amount was increased this morning to about $65 and it will not be difficult to procure the balance. Those who care to contribute to the worthy effort can leave their money with The Republican or see the solicitor on the street. A number in town have not yet been seen. S. F. Wood, who was here from Detroit, who sold an artificial leg to John Beecher, of Jordan township, will "supply this teg, and made a cast of the foot while here and took it home with him. Mr. Wood also took an order from Wesley Faylor for an artificial hand. Mr. Faylor lost his hand in a com shredder last fall.

SUPERINTENDENT WARREN TO BECOME MANUFACTURER.

Head of Public. Schools For Past Seven Yean WDI ’Resign to Ran Tile Factory. Superintendent I. N. Warren, of the Rensselaer schools, has notified the school board that he will withdraw as the head of the schools at the close of the, present term, in order to engage in business for himself. This comes as a sequal to an investment he made Monday of this week, when he purchased of John Reed and S. C. Irwin the old Alter tile mill, two miles north of Rensselaer. It is his intention to take charge of the mill as soon as school is out and to manufacture and sell tile. Superintendent Warren informed a reporter tor The Rpeublican, who called upon him at the school building, that he had two or three motives in leaving school work for other business. He said: “I realize that for my own sake as well as for the good of the schools that I can not . always remain here. Changes are occasionally necessary at the bead of educational institutions and as I have been here for seven years, I believe the time has come when I may turn the work over to other, hands. While I would ba able to secure employment at the head of other schools in other places, I do not care to do so because of local investments which I have made and attachments which I have for Rensselaer, in the way of relatives and friends and because it is my home town. I believe I will be able to make more money in the tile business than I was able to make teaching school and I wanted to get into some business where my sons could find employment. Superintedent Warren graduated from the Rensselaer high school in 1891, and after completing his education at college engaged in teaching school. He was principal of the Laporte schools four years and of the Ft. Lor.ge, lowa, schools for three years. He succeeded Superintendent W. H. Sanders as the superintendent of the schools here, returning to his old home town seven years ago. His school work here has been extremely successful and it is certain that the schools were never in a better condition than they are this year. His excellent qualities as a citizen have also served to make his residence here one of great benefit and while there will be general regret that he has decided to give up his school work, there will be pleasure in knowing that he will continue his residence here. The school board is already looking for a snitabie man to succeed Mr. Warren and have a man or two in view whom they would like to secure. They are not in a position, however, at this time-to give out any information.
