HAGERSTOWN IS A SURE BOOM TOWN Richmond's Small Neighbor Growing and Many Houses Being Built. A BIG DEMAND FOR HOMES THE MUNICIPAL LIGHT PLANT HAS PROVED A BIG SUCCESS AND NEW GUSHER WELL GIVES PLENTY OF GAS. Palladium Special) Hagerstown, Ind., Jan. 31. Hagerstown is still experiencing a good-sized boom in the improvement line. Contractors of this place and nearby towns are being beseiged by those who want to make extensive improvements to their properties and others who are anxious to have buildings erected in the spring. It is said, by parties who are in a position to know, that at least a dozen contracts for Louses, which have already been let, will go up as soon as the weather permits. There are a few choice lots in the town that can not be bought for "love or money," but outside of these there will be no more room inside the corporation. Several tracts of land adjoining the town, if laid out into lots would make nice homes and would rent easily. It is not a hard matter to keep the houses rented now and a great many men with families could jret employment here but will not risk it until there are desirable residences for them to occupy. Farmers Are Affected. The fever for improvement is catching a good hold on the farmers Jn the vicinity. Mr. D. D. Dilling, living west of town will erect two modern cottages which will make lovely suburban homes. If these prove profitable other land owners may try the plan. Both of Mr. Dilling's houses tire already rented as are also the right new houses of the Hagerstown Improvement association, which are jiot yet completed. Electric lights are being installed in fill the new properties. The electric light plant of the corporation, which was completed, a little ever a year ago, is now a decided success. Abundant gas supply is being furnished by the I.,. I. C. company to operate the plant. The machinery purchased for the riant is modern and of the best. The town board was fortunate in securing a competent superintendent who thoroughly understands how to master all sorts of electric facilities. Get a Gusher Well.

KERMIT ROOSEVELT IS A CRACK WITH RIFLE

Kermit Koosevelt. son of former President Theodore Roosevelt, now in Africa, hnnting with hi's father. While there have been many reports coming from the far East attesting the prowess of the elder Roosevelt, it remains for W. X. McMillan of Kansas City, who entertained the Roosevelts at his African place recently, to declare that Col. Roosevelt is only a fair shot, but tha Kermit is a crackerjack. Mr. McMillan says that not only is Kermit a better shot than his father, but that Col. Roosevelt acknowledges the fact to everybody but Kermit. A Canadian Cad Swears Away the Good Name of Society Leader. HER CONTEMPT IS SHOWN (Palladium Special) Los Angeles, Jan. 31. As she gazed with astonished eyes upon A. Leonard Phillips, who had traveled thousands of miles to make an alleged confession of his amour with her, Mrs. Laura Frances Chapman, who is being sued for divorce by her husband, Harry C. Chapman, turned from the witness with an expression of horror and disgust and half hysterically whispered: "Shooting is too good for such a man; otherwise 1 would shoot him." Mrs. Chapman was formerly a society woman of Winnipeg, Canada. Her husband was a substantial merchant there, but some time ago moved to Los Angeles and brought suit for divorce, Naming Phillips, who is also a Canadian. Mrs. Chapman came here to fight the case, claiming that she was innocent of wrong doing. Phillips followed from Winnipeg and appeared as the chief witness in support of the husband's petition for a decree. On the witness stand he admitted that he had previously sworn that his acquaintance with Mrs. Chapman was of an innocent character. But, he said he had sworn to a falsehood. The truth, he added, was that he had been a frequent visitor to the Chapman house in Winnipeg, and had been in the habit of leaving through the bac k door when the husband entered the house. He gave a detailed statement of his alleged relations with the woman, in which he made no attempt to shield her. Phillips explained that he had been j assured that if he lost his position as a traveling salesman for a Winnipeg business house because of his coming to Los Angeles to testify against a woman ho would be given employment by the Standard Oil company in Winnipeg. Attorneys for Mrs. Chapman have intimated they may accuse Phillips of perjury in that his testimony does not coincide with his affidavit. "COMPLICATION OF DISEASES." How often one hears this expression. It means a condition in which no one disease fully develops, but symptoms of various disorders are present. Poisoned, impure blood would explain the cause in nine out of ten such cases. It matters not if the blood be poisoned by inoculation, or by the failure of one or more of the important glands of the body to perform their duties, a powerful alterative or blood purifier, is necessary to cleanse it, and in so doing removes the cause. Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is the most thorough and powerful alterative or blood purifier ever known, a fact which is firmly established, and sup ported by testimony of hundreds of; grateful people. It is harmless as it j is effective, and sold at one dollar a j bottle at all drug stores. j A Star That Winks. There is in the constellation Pearoa a little variable star that may reasonably be said to wink. Two or three times in the course of a single night this curious star can be seen to fade and then to brighten like a signal light. For about two and three-quarter hours it becomes fainter and fainter. Then comes a change, and at the end of two and three-quarter hours more it is as bright as at the beginning. "Unfortunately it can be seen only with a telescope. Yet it ranks as a sun. Harper's Weekly.

A bulletin lately put out by the department at Washington tells of a farmer of Pawnee couuty. Neb., who has made an unusual success in the farming of a vary unpromising twenty acre tract. The owner came from Switzerland ten jears ago, worked out until he saved $275. when be bought the tract in question for $12.50 an acre, and it was conceded to be the poorest land in the neighborhood, covered with brush and small trees.' lie cleaned it up and developed It along intensive lines until today be has it all paid for, a neat bouse on it, with stone basement baru and other outbuildings, and has been offered $2,500 for it He has lately made three pleasure trips to Colorado and spent three months of last year la Switzerland. His annual net revenue from this small tract averages $1,000. The methods which the owner follows are of especial i u teres t. The land is kept busy from spring until fall. At the last cultivation of potatoes corn Is planted between the rows. In this way a full crop of potatoes Is secured and a fair crop of corn. As high as TOO bushels of potatoes and seventyfive bushels of corn to the acre have been grown in this way. The corn usually has to be hoed once, but the potato vines so nearly cover the ground that not much working of the corn is required. By the time the corn needs the ground the potatoes are ripe, while the corn is in the shock before it is time to dig the potatoes. Sometimes part of the potato patches are sown with millet or sorghum before the last cultivation, this making a good crop of feed and not hurting the potatoes. The onion patches also grow corn and melons. In the orchard, which comprises eight acres, small fruits, potatoes and truck are raised. The farm is situated seven miles from a town of 2,500 people, and the reader will see at a glance that this must mean low prices and heavy expense In hauling. What he might do with the same tract or one of ten acres located within two miles of a city of 25.000 it would not be difficult to forecast. In shaking of his work the owner pays: "I think I have found a remedy for hard times. Any man can pick up ten or twenty aem.

A PRESSING QUESTION. If reports which are being circulated In different sections of the corn belt are to be credited the cold snap of Oct. 12 and 13, which damaged the apple crop from Colorado eastward and as far south as central Missouri and ruined hundreds of thousands of bushels of potatoes In ths Dakotas. In Minnesota and Wisconsin, very aertously impaired the vitality of much of the corn still In the ticld at the time. In some dainties in the corn belt It" ls stated by those In a position to know that it lit doubtful if there was a bushel of sound seed corn left after the freoee. If thla is the case here and there it Is quite likely that like damage has bee n done over a considerable area of the corn belt In which the freeze referred to was heavy. It goes without sayiug. too, that if such damage has bCLn done the best time to determine it extent Is now and not three or lour months hence. It Is dead sure that seed com which Is worthless now is not going to improve any as the winter advances. The advantage of early testing will be tbet if there an a few fields in which the corn was sufficiently dried out to escape damnve the owner can gather at once from these seed for himself and his neighters who may be unfortunate. It 14 quite likely that there will be foreigu orders to fill If a fellow's corn tests O. K. Seed of good tyv and strpng vitality will be a prl-ne essential in the growing of next year's crop, and the securing of a supply of it is a matter that should be looked Into at once. A GAMBLING PROPOSITION. Th?re in ju;t enough of the gambling instinct in a fellow so that aftr he has attended a big corn show where all kinds of whopping, even rowrd ears have been on exhibition, so much larger and finer types than that com which be has grown In his own fieii In the north part of the corn belt, lie bos an Itching to try to raise the sane big corn, when the chances are ten to one that be will not reach a proper maturity In the short growing wrn'n where he lives. This tendency Is one of the very few 111 effects of a corn how. yet It Is one that every corn ahow director, every experiment station Instructor and every agricultural paper should dwell on persistently. f trictly speaking, school tlma comes but ones.

While tbe brown Swiss breed of cattle do not equal anj of the four leadins dairy breeds In milk and butter production, they still are ma kins a very satisfactory showing for dairy purposes. Tney are not only docile and easily bandied, but poaanas large frames and beefy quarters. Four vt these cows owned by the Michigan Agricultural college showed a milk yield for the past year ranging from pounds of milk producing 4o? pounds of butter to Iti.liS pounds of milk giviug 457 ounds of butter. In view of the killing freeze tn tha fore part of October tha corn belt farmer in Keclious where the freeze was heavy lias no more Important task in band during tue next few weeks tbau tbat of looking up and testing bis supply of seed corn for nest year. Maybe enough corn cau be secured from shocks In held which were cut before the freeze, yet ther are many who will have to send to a distance fot seed which will germinate. In any event the job of securing seed of good vitality should not be postponed until next March or April, wben the scramble for seed will be fierce and when a lot of tail enders are going to get left. Perhaps the largest authenticated yield of corn ever recorded was tbat produced by John So ud berg, president of the Iowa Corn ti rowers' association, the past season, the amount being 153 bushels and 55 ounds from a single acre, or Just five times the average annual yield. A justice of the peace made affidavit that be personally measured the acre of ground and weighed the coru. The patcb from wblcb the corn was taken was an acre and half In extent aud produced in all 224 bushels. The owner saya it took seven years to get such a yield, the result being In part due to proper care of tbe soil and thick planting and as largely to continual selection and breeding up of the seed corn.

The Illinois state board ef health has lately issued an order which provides that all cows in the state must be subjected to tbe tuberculin test and those found affected branded with a letter T" upon the right ear. The enforcement of this regulation. It ls thought, will put a stop to tbe traffic in tnbercnlous cows snd tbe sal of milk from them an offense which ls punishable with a heavy fine. Only those animals which are provided with an Inspection and health certificate countersigned by the state veterinarian may be kept to tarnish a milk supply. In the past tbe diseased cows have been sold to onscrupalotss dairymen aud the polluted, germ laden milk peddled for the consumption of little children.
