Wheat In this vicinity has made a greater yield this year, but there is ono phase of the; situation which has never been known before. It Is common practice for farmers to sow wheat in standing corn without first preparing the ground. Experts have talked against this, describing it as wasteful of seed and ground, and one which never turns out profitably. This year there Is a large acreage of such wheat. Last year the corn acreage was large bud farmers sowed as much corn land is If they had planted the usual quantity of wheat. Wheat so planted has turned out as good as tlwj best sown on plowed ground. On the farm ownfed by John Stonebraker a tract of eight acres planted in corn yielded J60 bushels, an average of thirty-three bushels an acre. The quality of the fcrain Is fully the equal of that grown )n 'plowed ground." v

Box 2603, New York C.C1L. BEGIN THEIR WORK Now Busy Laying Out Route For New Road From Griffith into Chicago. OWN TRACKS ARE DESIRED PRESIDENT BRADFORD AT PRES ENT HAS TRAFFIC ARRANGE MENT FOR GETTING TO CHICA GO WHICH HE WILL IMPROVE. After battling obstacles for many years In efforts to secure an entrance Into Chicago the C. C. & L. Railway company has at last set out to continue its line from .Griffith, Ind., to the metropolis of the west A large gang of surveyors in the employ of the company is now engaged in laying out a route, and it is possible that within the next few months the actual work of construction will be under way. Announcement was made some time ago that the company had completed arrangements for tho operation of its trains into Chicago over the Grand Trunk line from Griffith, and that regular through service would be established during the summer. Although this service has been used to a great extent, it is said, that the company seeks to have its own track and will leave no stones unturned until this Is accomplished. Numerous visits of President Bradford over the line, and tho many conferences that he and other prominent officials of the road have held with capitalists and other officials of railway corporations, it is thought were responsible for the company's decision of building the Chicago extension. The distance from Griffith to Chicago Is twenty-nine miles, and the time required to complete the destination of the company's main line would not be more than a few months. Besides securing a through line service to Chicago the company's line would parallel that of the Grand Trunk system from Griffith, whereby it would share considerable competition. Railroad men regard the C. C. & L. as one of the coming roads in the middle west, and, by having tracks to Chicago, would give to the public the most direct route from Cincinnati to the northern terminal. THIEVfS FOLLOW CIRCUS GRAFT WORK AT BLUFFT0N Farmer From Near Nottingham Lost $20 at the Shell Game and Then Was Slugged For Raising a Kick. Bluffton. Ind. July 22, (Spl.) The Van Amburg show, which exhibited here Saturday had a following of gamblers and thieves and several petty robberies were reported. The gambling devices were operated on the show grounds, a quarter of a mile north of town, until 2:45 this after noon, when Marshal Crosbie and Officers Fox and Deam appeared on the scene and brought the gambling to a sudden termination. The approach of the officers had been tipped off. however, and when they arrived all of the tricksters had left their games and taken to their heels. No arrests were made. The heaviest loser in the gambling devices was a farmer living near Nottingham by the name of Leist. He lost $20 by the old-time shell game, and when he made a howl and tried to get his money back he was slugged by tho man operating the game, and came to the city with a black eye. This affair came to the ears of the officers and caused the stopping of the gambling. "' -- ------

FOR MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
EAST MAIN STREET FRIENDS MINISTER THINKS PUBLIC OWNERSHIP WOULD SOLVE WASTE OF COMPETITION. In his fcennou last night at the East Main street Friends church, the Rev. Alfred T. Ware 'took a decided stand for labor unions and their work, with the the exception of few of what he termed their deficiencies The Rev. Mr. Ware has been dealing with the teachings of Jesus Christ and modern day rVerns, in a series of Sunday night lectures, and in his lecture last night, he lauded the great accomplishments the labor unions have made since their organization He spoke of the thres great sys tems that has governed the world since the beginning of history, they being the slavery, feudal and waga systems. He dwelt at great length on the latter and showed how before the organization of labor unions, that the laborers were unprotected against organized capital and the great influx of cheap foreign labor, and how after they were organized the laborers condition bettered. He also pointed out the deficiencies of the labor unions. He said that as they were at present organizd, many men were not able to meet their re quirements and would therefore be thrust in the most undesirable localities, at meager wages, . that they might earn their livelihood. Rev. Ware spoke of the great waste that was going on in the present day of competition in business. He said that many lives were lost each year. in different kinds of business, that) was largely due to competition and this would have to be done away with if the industrial world would suc ceed as it should. He favored munici pal ownership of public utilities that this waste might be done away with. n his closing remarks Rev. Ware spoke of how the teachings of Jesus Christ should govern the laboring ac tivities of the world, and of how the labor unions &nd the churches should join hands In the battle for the protection of the men on 'whose shoulders the world's activities rest. There were probably one thousand people in the audience last night. Rev. Ware will speak next Sunday night on "Capital and Labor." TRIES TO VISIT WIFIE LANDS IN JAIL AGAIN Earl Huntington Gets Out of the County Bastile Just Long Enough To Get Arrested Will Likely Get A Long Sentence. "Whose that a knockln' at the door below" were the words that greeted Earl Huntington Saturday night and which, incidentally caused his arrest later. Huntington, who was arrested a week ago Saturday night on a peace' warrant sworn out by his mother and who was later released on his promse that he would behave, went tripp ing up to his father-in-law s John Campbell's 1534 Main and began to beat on the door. His wife stuck her head out of the window and upon seeing that it was Earl and that he had a 'bunn" with him, she called father. Father talked to Earl but Earl wouldn't listen and insisted on being let in. The result was that Mr. Campbell dressed and went down to Police Headquarters. Earl stayed at the house until the patrol wagon got there and without even so much as a word of rebuke to ratner-in-iaw got in. It was stated the last time that Earl was "up" that his next appearance would cause something serious to happen to him, and it is likely that he will be given several days in the work house to map out a plan of his future conduct. SOLDIERS GOING THROUGH A Company of United States InrTitry Will Pass Through Today on Way to Indianapolis.

IT 13 LEARNED THAT CZAR BEFORE DISSOLVING DOUMA HAD THE ASSURANCE OF SUPPORT FROM GERMANY. ' .
Publishers Press London. July 23. Signs that the' autocracy has staked everything in' its present stand against the Russian people multiply. After a year of freedom that Russian censorship again exists, is meage and doctored despatches eloquently testify. It .Is stated that the Russian Liberal and Democratic papers printed their last issues yesterday. Today policeman stood guard over their idle presses. Advices indicate that the object of the censorship is to keep the peasants in ignorance until the military forces of the empire have been centrated with stargetic points. St. Petersburg is under martial law. The Tauredo Palace, where Russian parliamentary liberty briefly reigned, la under military guard. The deputies have not dispersed. They appear stupefied at the suddenness of the blow. Many of them promised their' constituents after their election that they would secure liberty If they would not return at all. It is probable that the grand ducal party will be onlv too glad to keep them in St. Petersburg, for if they are dispersed throughout the country they would almost certainly become leaders of revolt. Army Caused it All. What .precipitated to the crisis Is said to be the growing disaffection In the army. The Czar was advised that the troops are still loyal, but that every day they became less loyal and that If tho Douma continued unchecked for another month the army could no longer be depended upon. On the other hand military, lenders advised the Czar that if he would at once dissolve Parliament they could suppifss by force, any revolt which might follow. Everything, It is believed, depends upon the loyalty of the troops, upon whether this loyalty can.be maintained in the face of the incessant activity of the revolutionaries. Peasants May Not Learn. If the censorship Is efficient It ma7 be a week or two before the majority of the peasants learn what has been done for the Petersburg. But as soon as this information reaches all parts of Russian a general revolt Uf regarded as evident. The first of August, It is predicted, will see Russia In a state of civil war. Not since Charles I, and Louis XVI staked their thrones against the liberties of their people, say public men here.' has there been a similar crisis in the world's history. Support of Emperor. It is reported that the Czar, before deciding on the dismissal of the Douma, received a cipher despatch from Emperor Willlarf of Germany. What its contents were, are of course, unknown, but It was generally believed that it contained assurances of at least moral support In dealing with, the malcontents. Fender Family to Reune.
