It Is Not to Be a Celebration Of the Days That Have Past, But Rather the Days That Are to Come. SCIENCE OF THE FARM WILL BE ILLUSTRATED
King Corn Will Be the Predominating Exhibit, But Every Other Kind of Cereal Will Receive Attention. ARTICLE 1. (Hearst News Service.) Omaha, Nov. 27. In Chicago in '93, the world celebrated the anniversary of the discovery of America; in St. Louis, the Louisiant purchase was the reason why; in Portland it was thu trail to empire blazed by Lewis and Clark; in Jamestown it was the first settlement on these wide-flung shores of ours. Every exposition that baa been held since Philadelphia's centennial, has been in celebration of some thing big that has gone before. But In Omaha next month from December 6 to December 18 an exposition will open which will celebrate the future. It is not to be for the day that was, but for the day that is to be It will mark the formal opening of n new era in agriculture in which the man who tills the soil will hold the same place in the commercial world an the manufacturer, who has developed the mechanical arts. Is Result of Years. The exposition at Omaha will show wnat science nas accompusneu ia j nu rturing farm crops. It will also show the noasibilities in a graphic way, and disseminate among 200.000 farmers the knowledge that the government and twenty-five states have gained by years of hard experimental work to improve farm crops and Increase ths yields. Known as the "National Corn Exposition,' 'the two weeks' show at Omaha is broader than the name "corn" usually implies. It is used by the exposition in a continental sense, meaning all grains and grasses. The National Corn Exposition shows the best of every cereal; the best of every forage crop grown in America; the exhibits being brought together to compete for prizes amounting to $T0,000, and a score of gold and silver trophies worth from $500 to $1,500 each. These are offered for such exhibits as the best ten ears of corn in the world: the best single ear; another for th? best peck of oats, while another goes for the best sample of barley. These individual exhibits made by farmers from almost every state in the union, by school children who are studying agricultural science in the country schools, and by owners of vast tracks of wheat and hay lands, will form but an incidental part of the National Corn Exposition. Possibilities Shown. The real exposition shows the results of the. spending of millions of dollars by the government and the states in building up the practice and science of agriculture. They show the infinite possibilities of increasing the yield per acre and the profit per worker. llie ruiiirs Hive ciera iiuj miu a man s hand and Is intelligently directed. - - 1(1 Aln.:A3.. i n v.nn'c The government Is installing an exhibit which will show that its Department of Agriculture, working with the states, has been able to secure varie ties and suggest methods of handling the lands of the United States, which Increase the production a billion dollars annually.

SWINDLERS WORK A WEALTHY WOMAN Arrest of Two Alleged Crooks Yesterday Reveals a Strange Story. THEY SECURED $15,000 PROMISED THEIR VICTIM THEY WOULD SECURE A DIVORCE FOR HER THROUGH THE POWERS OF WOMAN MEDIUM. (American News Service) New York, Nov. 27. Arrested on th? complaint of Mrs. Mary Brandes, wife of a rich hotel keeper, Delia Goff, thirty-eight years old, a nurse, and Jacob Lemensorf, were arraigned today on charges of having swindled her out of more than $15,000. According to the story told by Mrs. Brandes when she made the complaint, the swindling started on Dec. 11, 19Ki, when she employed the Goff woman as nurse. Mrs. Brandes, who was not living with her husband, had rooms in the Madison apartments at 30th street and Madison avenue. She had told the Goff woman that she was anxious to get a divorce or legal separation from her husband and the woman told her she knew a Mrs. Barker, a medium, who could arrange the matter for her. She said that Mrs. Barker was an expert in arranging divorce cases and also in making marriages, citing one case of one of ths wealthiest men in the city having married an actress through her aid. On Dec. 11. lfXXi, Mrs. Brandes declares she drew $11,000 from the Fifth National bank and gave $10,000 to the Goff woman, which she, in turn was to give to the Barker woman, and that was to pay all expenses for the divorce The nurse then left Mrs. Brandes and several months later told her that Mrs. Barker had died. Then the Goff woman, according to Mrs. Brandes, brought Lemensdorf into the case and the two told her that they would arrange the divorce themselves. From then until a short tims ago, Mrs. Brandes charges the two have been blackmailing her, threatening to make trouble for her by means of revelations.
ADVERTISE JUDICIOUSLY Last Sunday the Palladium made a proposition to pay the expense of an examination of its circulation, this examination to be made by a committee of Richmond merchants or by an experienced circulation auditor. This proposition was made with the hope that the Richmond merchants were interested in knowing just where their advertising money was going to. A merchant would not think of buying his merchandise without first seeing a sample. Then, why should he spend his money for advertising without knowing just how much circulation a newspaper has? The Palladium has over 5,600 circulation and it claims to have from 1,000 to 1,500 more circulation than any other newspaper in Richmond or the Sixth Congressional district. The Palladium , would like to prove this to the Richmond merchants. Will the merchants help the Palladium? It is to the interest of the merchants.

WALKING IS GOOD And Cruel Terre Haute Men v Refuse to Send Money To the Runaways. LOVED ACROBATIC TEAM AND THE GIDDY "BETTER HALVES" BLEW WITH THEM FOR CHICAGO AND NOW THEY ARE BROKE AND VERY SORRY. (American News Service) Terre Haute, Ind., Nov. 27. When Emil Apler today received a letter from Captain Wood of the Chicago detective department that his wife was in that city without funds and wanted money forwarded that she might return home, Apler, instead of sending the money, went to see a lawyer and chief of detives Fasig. He wanted to know if he could ignore the request and not be hauled up for failure to support or something like that. They told him to send word to Chicago that walking was good and that she could walk toward Terre Haute so far as he was concerned. Then his lawyer filed suit for divorce. Following this, Apler hunted up Roy France, whom he had never met, but whose wife and Mrs. Apler were great friends, and who was reported to have left the city at the same time last Tuesday that Mrs. Apler went away. Hubbies Get Together. By comparing notes the husband3 learned that the two women had been infatuated last week with William Lennot and William Marcel, an acrobatic team at a vaudeville house, and that the women had left town with them. Both women took all the ready cash their husbands had, each obtaining it to pay for household needs and other things. The word from Chicago is that when their money was gone, the acrobats vaulted out of sight. Apler recalls that last Saturday, after a celebration of the first anniversary of their wedding, Mrs. Apler suggested the party go to the thea terthat she got front seats, and that there were indications she knew the acrobate. The acrobats said their home was In Akron, Ohio. They went to Lafayette first from Terre Haute and Apler followed them to that city 'but learned they had gone on to Chij cago. RECOVERS A MEDAL (American News Service) Chicago, Nov. 27. Alderman George F. Harding has recovered a gold med al that was stolen from him when a student in Harvard University 21 years ago.

It Is Convinced That Hawley,
The Railroad King, Is About To Buy That Road From the Rock Island. HE ALSO PURCHASED THE VIRGINIA ROAD H. I. Miller, President of the C. & E. I., Now in the City, Denied Any Knowledge of Alleged Buy Out. (American News Service) New York, Nov. 27. Wall Street is quite convinced that Edwin Hawley, the new railroad king, is about to purchase from the Rock Island system the St. Louis and San Francisco lines. comprising 6,530 miles of railroad and that B. F. Yoakum, long identified with the Rock Island, will leave the system and join Hawley. Hawley also has obtained an option on the Virginian railroad, according to a report from Washington. The Virginian road was built by the late H. H. Rogers. The Hawley combination is being put together with Standard Oil backing and Wall Street be lieves the report is a reasonable one. With the Frisco and the Virginian roads Hawley would be in charge of a railroad system ranking about fourth in the United States. The first murmur of the deal which is now under way, came to the financial district with the purchase by Hawley and Yoakum a short time ago of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Wall Street heard at that time that Yoakum and his associates, the big four of the Rock Island Dan G. Reid Judge W. H Moore and T. 1L Mooxa. were not In accord. There is believed to be much more in the situation than the sale of the Frisco. Rumors, reports and conjee tures concerning the Lehigh Valley and Wabash, that has been agitating speculators and stock market for weeks and months past, have been traced to the direct connection with affairs of the Frisco sale. Hawley's name, with the names of George Gould and Yoakum have been linked ' in many connections in these stories. H. I. MILLER MUTE. Says He Knows Nothing of Big Rail road Deal. That negotiations are under way for the division of the Rock Island system was neither affirmed nor denied by H. I. Miller, president of two divisions of the Frisco System, which is a part of the Rock Island. He was seen at the home of his father John F, Miller, last evening. It is reported that if the negotia tions are successful the St. Louis & San Francisco, with its dependent lines, a total mileage of 6,530, and the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, with a mileage of 8,048, will be operated and managed thereafter independent of each other. Mr. Miller is one of the most bril liant of the Richmond School of Rail way officials. He is now the presl dent of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois and the Evansville & Terre Haute railway companies. These rail ways are parts of the Frisco system. OFFICER WAS MOVED (American News Service) Chicago, Nov. 27. Amother's plea to see her daughter before she dies has touched the heart of Lieut.

An investigation was at once made, revealing the fact that the shot was fired from ambush. Not Hunting Mishap. "That it was an ambush was corro borated by four or five gentlemen of the neighborhood. There is no hunt ing as there is no game in the neigh borhood. It was In an open field with only a single hedge of trees, m the field is an empty house in which any one could conceal himself." In answer to an inquiry as to whom he suspected, Chaloner replied: "There are new rich people from the North who have shown, enmity towards me. I have sworn out a war rant for Mr. Bernard S. Horne and his chauffeur."
