1 , ‘The Waves if Sia.”
f'Tbe wages of sin is death!”
Last Friday morning at an
early hour Mrs. Walter Allen,
of Wichita Falls, caught her
husband out riding in a carriage
With Lily Wheatley, one of the
“soiled doves” of that pity and
shot and instantly killed the
woman. She did not shoot the
man. Probably her love for the
husband of her choice and the
father ed ber children withheld
tytnd from visiting vengeance
upon him as well as the woman
he was With. A*len and "his wife
ha* been running the 8t. Charles
hotel for several years. She
has assisted him in making eve-
ry thing they have; her care and
prudence have been .the means
of amassing a competency, and
fw^tes- sra. >«&.toabue*s
made money; money which he
was proceeding to spend upon
the scarlet woman, of the town in
violation of all decency and in
fiiihnnrr of his marriage vows.
4The wife was driven to extrem-
ity by jealousy. She did wrong
End for her wrong she will'doubt-
less be prosecuted in the courts
of the OOjmtry; but she will
tiave a world of sympathy in her
--^ trouble, perhaps not so much as
- she would have had if she had
fired one more shot and sent the
erring husband along into the
dim future with the woman of
" his choice. He was probably
more to blame than the woman of
the town, but a woman's love
\ saved, him. It is a pity that the
law is not such that he could be
required to take the place of his
wife at the prisoners dock and
answer for whatever sin has
been committed..
• Capt. and Mrs. McElreath, of
Dallas, are visiting their daugh-
ter, Mrs T.. E. Cannedy. An
other daughter, Mrs. Govan
Roach, of El Reno, Oklahoma,
e with them. Capt. McRl-
called to see os last Fri-
day and iplated a trip, he had
made to this county in 1861.
During the month of August in
that year he carried a dispatch
from Fort Cobb to Fort Belknap.
At that time the Indians were
very numerous iu this country
and it was wo easy Aatter, or

at the station some doubt existed
in the minds of the railway men
principal fcotoL we accepted the
kind invitation of the conductor
to spend the night with him and
the train crew in the passenger
coach. At an early hourT*hors-
day morning were awakened' by
the fireman and bustled out; got
a good breakfast at a boarding
tent near by and set forth to vis-
it the places of interest In the
new city.
The first was the mine^ shaft
No 2. where we fpund Mr. Hardy
the manager and a force of men
taking out'some of the best coal
we have ever seen in this coun-
try. They .amid the vein was
about five /eet in thickness and
Mr. Hardy, who is an expert on
coal says that in bis opinion the
coal will compare favorably for
steam purposes with McAllister
coal... & certainly* looks like it
was as good as any.
A lot of new machinery is on
the ground end as soon as it is
placed a large force of men will
gerto.work. - _ ~
From the mine we went up to
the townsite and looked it over.
We found B. B. Garrett and
work on the
and J. H. Cochran and his son,
Hunger is in charge there and is
getting the stock in place and
ready for the trade. , A force of
men were also busy on the Bow-
man Lumber Co’s shed and we
met their salesman there, a jov
ial, good-natured gentleman
German.name which we
have forgotton.
Joe DeLong assisted by Squire
Hughes, of Eliasville, are erect-
a commodious general merchan-
dise store on “Broadway” street
and right near it a public well
is being sunk by the townsite
company,
Several new buildings are in
course of construction, both
stores and residences and there
were some prospectors on the
grounds.
Newcastle is beautifully situat-
ed and 'welllaidoff. The ground
is just rolling enough to have
excellent drainage and not
enough to wash badly ih heavy
rains. If good water is found,
and they have every reason to
believe it will be good all over
the townsite, and ft will add
greatly to its desirability as a
pise# to live. f 1
Work continues on the railway
and the depot, we were told will
belocated it the loot of Broad

tance from the kfisinsssjrtrt of

In the corn contest, the follow-
ing information w^Il be of help
to all contestants. .A good way
to select the best ears is to go in
the field and gather by handf a
hundred or more of the best ears.
Take jh convenient place, shuck,
and sort out, discarding all in
ferior ears. r Then resort ai
cast out......all ^ the worst ea
until only ten remain. Th
snould not be pfilled until n
the time for the* exhibit or
the stalks have “ thorough!:
dried.
Another good plan'is to, select
as you gather* putting all the.
finest ears in the feed box and
then select from them.
There is just about as much
skill m selecting the best ears
for a corn show as there is in
raising oorn so below we give
the score, which is recognized
by Capt .White as the best and
.contest. Cut this out and save
it to help you select your prize
ears.

1. Length of Ear. The
length of the ear or cob is the
first thing to be taken into con-
sideration for we ' cannot pro-
of the townsite the railway
X
pany have made a largw
which will furnish an ineajhanst-
able supply of water for tits
railway aftd stock purposes
After seeing the “sights’* of
the new city wa accepted VUl
pith Joe DeLong in his %nggy
end went over to Belknap where
we made connection With John
Orrairs mail and exjrQaa, south-
bound* and took dinner .in Gra
ham.
The future of Newcastle* in
our judgement, depends largely
upon the coal. If It is all thftt is
hoped for it Newcastle will be a
duce a large yield of oorn on
short cobs. The variety influ-
ences this point a great deal and
ao first of all we should grow as
large varieties as our section
will permit and if our season is
long enough to allow us to grow
varieties that should give ‘ us
frbtifi eight to ten inch ears, we
should see that every ear meas ,
ures up to the standard. -
2 The circumference1 of the
ear should be in proportion to
length. On measuring the east
at1 one-third the distance from
eadh end the tip end measure-
ment should be at leant three-
foafoe »» great aa the butt end
measurement.
8. Weight of the ear. This
etermine largely the value
_«amp)e. The heavierears
all vani ties placed on
w:
exhibition.
7. Shape of ears. The ear
ears
aliould carry its shape and size
well out to the tip There should
no swelled butt ears passed on.
should be but few Ul shaped
grains on either end of the ear.
One to three rounds shelled off
each end afcmhl bring us to
•where the grains are uniform
and suitabl^tQ be used in the
planter for seed.
9. Shape grain. The
shaped, broad, deep and carry-
ing their size well down to the
cob,
" fjC Color of oobs and grain.
The color should conform with
the variety exhibited.— There
should be no mixing Of colors.
All yellow corn should have red
cobs and all white oorn
white cobs. The St. Charles
White should be made an . ex-
cention to this rule as this va-
riety of white ebrn has uniform-
ly red oobs.
IL-'-i Space between rows.
The space rows should
be small and regular, not wide
and narrow as \& often the case.
12. Proportion of corn to cob.
Ears with very large cobs and
short grains should be discarded.
It matters not how large the
cob may be so that the grain in
size and depth Is in proportion
to the size of the cob.
13. Shape of tips. The tips
should not run down "in size too
grain carries ita size well oot to
the end there should be
: oT gramas at the
top unfit for seed. -
