THE SEMI-WEEKLY,, ROBESONIAN. Ball Swamp . hurcta. Thursday. J July . Brafcl. rMay v It 1 quite 'certain that a large majority of our farmers are not Retting as go.d resulis from their farming operations aa is possible without lacreaaiutf either labor or expense. Take tor instance mr great crop,COrn. Do the 2.T50.0U0 acres planted in corn produce what they should? Can we not in crease the yield and the net pro lit by better methods? Do we select the seed in the best way? Do you plant the best varieties? Are tfie right kinds and amounts of fertilizers used and applied in the best way? Is our metho of cultivation the best and done at the least expense? Is the crop harvested so as to secure the greatest feed value from it and at the least expense? As long as the average yield for the State remains below fif teen bushels per acre it is certain that the average man still has much to learn about growing corn and it is probable that the best corn grower can also learn something and still improve his kiethods. The purpose of the farmers' institute is to discuss just such q uestions relating to corn culture and similar questions about all other crops and farming opera tions. If the farrxrers of the county. will come out and discuss such questions with a view of in creasing their knowledge and im proving their farming this insti tute may be of untold value to the county- Effect of Worry. Philadelphia Record. 'Worry kills quicker than work," said a down to vfi physi cian. "Worry wears away the flesh by overstraining the nerves, disarranges the digest ive organs, and eventually af fect the whole system. But the general advice not to worry is more easily given than fol lowed. There are so man)' com plications of life affecting a a .man or his family that the ubilttv t uf 0 1 alonor -without worrv i ;i pcs.-i'sioti of the few tiie exceptions.

I . , seierg electric stonn. about 3:80 o'clock ' this ' afternoon' lightning s t fi re to the steeple of the First Methodist church and the steeple aid vestibule were' almost ; com pletely destroyed. ! Water also did considerable damage and the loss will probably reach 12,000. When the bolt of 'lightning struck the hteeple, a number of the people living near the church felt the shock and went to their doorb immediately to investigate. All of course expected to find the steeple cadly torn, but there was no evidence of the work of the bolt for nearly 20 minutes, when people some , distance away noticed a small blaze near the top of the steeple, which was 117 feet high. The alarm was given at once in the neighborhood, but owing to the fact that the 'phone system had been cut out on ac count of the storm, those discov ering the fire were forced to run several block to Che firehouse be fore the company was called. The fire department and citizens who happened to hear the alarm or ee the fire were on the scene in a short time, and the fight to save the main building and the handsome new pipe organ was begun at once. The firemen worked faithfully and, in a short time, three streams were playing on the blaze, which was high in the air. Ladders were run up to the roof of the buildingand while on one of these ladders Mayor Grier and Fi reman Lacy had a very close call. Mr. Lacy was near the top of the ladder and Mr-Grier about half, way, when the screaming of the crowd told them that the steeple was falling. Turning their faces upward, the men on the ladder saw the burn ing timbers falling toward them, and had it not been for their thoughtfulness in swinging on the underside of the ladder both would probably have been in jured. The top of the steeple scaled the ladder over the head of Mr. Lacy. Anogro fireman, John Cham bers became overheated and fainted. By tne excellent work of the 1 firemen the tire was extinguish jod within ri-n hour utter their ar I rival on the scene and the mam theivforf, u phyicmn 'gives the! building was saveu. .The- First udist church was builtaout yv) years figo and was the first of any sizin town in .several years Luckily the congregation now has in course of construction a handsome new church.

With a few repairs the con gregation can continue .to use it until the new one can be comple ted. ijlib advice not to worrv lie us-1 Met 'tiailv .overlooks me nut uiaitoo causes of .worry are not to be removed by the words, even though spoken by a profes1 si onal man". The pri mary cause 1 of old aje is anxiety, ot which i he effects are s 011 noticeable, ; in impaired circulation, a drawn -and pallid countenance, and enfeebled activity. It is a dem onstrated fact that criminals qnd tramps rarely turn gray until very late in life, and this is because thev give themselves literally no care, or rathertreo cognizing none. But an ordi nary man with the usual busi ness and family burdens can no more avoid? worry than he can do vithout'breathiij. : Sjbow In Montana. Butte, Mont, June 26.

Clemens (Mark Twain),' Whitelaw lieid, the American ambassador, Prince Arthur, of Connaught,i Prime Minister Sir Henry. Camp Dell-Bannerman; Ad m Iral ; Lord Beesford and August E. Rodin, president of the International So ciety of Fine Arts, are among the distinguished : men who will re ceiva degrees from Oxford Uni versity during: the historical cele bration . which , commenced to day. The notable event of the week will be the installation of Lord Cuzon into the chancellor ship. Thousands of alumni are gathering V here to-day to aid in celebrating the historical life of the institution, which extends back to the earliest days of En glish history. By means of elab orate pageants tbeevents and ep isodes of Oxford life from 783 to the present day will be illustra ted. The degrees, will be con ferred Wednesday. Mark Twain has spent a busy week since his arrival here, the numberless receptions and ban quets planned in his honor being sufficient to keep him busy for months to come. Of all Ameri cans, the genial humorist stands next to Roosevelt in the esteem of the British people, and it is a question if the president himself would receive a more flattering reception. Mr. Clemens will re ceive the degree of doctor of lit erature from Oxford although he states that he does not intend to doctor literature, considering its case hopeless. The humorist spends two hours every day on his autobiography, which . will not be published until he is dead. His decision in this matter. Mr. Clemens says, is not due to mod esty, but rather to a desire to keep a whole skin. . "Caustic, fiendish and develish"is a phrase he uses in describing;., the work, and declares"itwill make certain people sit up and take" notice.' - -. - : -,V' c ' Twenty-loar Parrots Die fa a Flgnt. From the New York Mimes. Ambrosio Clarijo, a young Cu ban dealer in snakes'and birds, particularly ' talking -' pdrrots, whose New York office is at' 2-fi and 249 West twenty-fifth street, had much trouble on the Ward Line pier, at the foot of "Wall street, yesterday afternoon. The custom-house permit, necessary ; beforo Clarijo could remove Hot) i talking parrots, 92 snakes, and about 40 hmall alligators from the pier, was missing, and the parrots, cooped up in little cages, fought among themselves, while the alligators and snakes' gave every evidence of ill health due to the change from Cuban wilds to the confinement of the pier in closure- - " , -. At 3 o'clock yesterday after noon t there was a f . pile of twenty-four dead parrots on the pier, and additions were being made every half hour or so as the infuriated parrots fought in the cages. Clarijo begged - the ' cus toms officers for permission to remove the birds and reptiles, but the officials were powerless to aid him without a permit, though parrots, alligators, and snakes, are admitted free of duty. The fighting of the birds could be heard all over the pier, the air fairly resounding with their ant gry cries. 1 will mail you free, to prove merit, samn'es of my Dr. Snoop's Restorative, and mr book on either Dyspepsia,'. The Heart, or the Kidneys. Address me, Df Snoop, Racine, Wis. Troubles of the Stomach, Heart or Kidneys, are merely symptoms of a deeper ailment Don t make the common error of treating symp toms only. Symptom treatment is treat ing the result of your ailment,' and not the cause. Weak Stomach nerves the inside nerves means Stomach weakness, always. And the Heart, and Kidneys as well, have their controlling or inside nerves. Weaken these nerves, and you inevitably have weak vital organs. Here is where Dr. Shoop's Restorative ; has made its fame. No k other remedy even claims to treat the'mside nerves,' Also for bloating, biliousness, bad breath pr complexion, use Dr. bnoop't Restorative, Write wefor satnole and Tree Book. Dr. Shoop, Racine.

On , ac count of the number of prisoners in jail to be tried,' it a appears that It will take all the week to - clear the jail, so Mr. Sinclair was here yesterday and in a conference with Judge Webbr who was hold ing court, the, Sheriff, Clerk of the Court and the Bar, it was de cided that the ' cases of ' all per sons where . true bills have al ready been fontd and defendants are ont on bond, will becontinued at the coming term and the wit nesses for the State in those ca ses need not attend court, but defendants will have to appear and renew their bonds. Wit nesses for the state and the de fendants in all cases that have been bound over by Justice ; of the Peace since the last term of the criminal court will have to at tend court. All witnesses for the state who are subpoenaed : to ap pear before the grand-jury will have to attend. This is written with the hope that It may save ' the witnesses some trouble and expense of at tending-court in those cases where the bills' have already been found and' the parties are out on bond. , : . Respectfully, ,W. H. Humphrey, Clerk Superior Court . Are They Falling Down ? Ohsrlolt Ohrouto! ' The railroads seem to be giv ing way in the fight against the two-cent fare law A meeting of the presidents of all the prin cipal "Western railroads was held in Chicago a few days ago. .The attorneys for the railroads advised the presidents that "while the attorneys pre dicted that the courts would declare : the laws unconstitu- tional because the rate of two cents !.y a ; mile is unreason bly low and practically confiscato ry, and also - because the laws deprive the railroads of their rights of equity, the general view taken by the presidents was that with the public eenti ment so stronclv in favor ot a two-cent fare and the inability of the railroads to reduce inter State rates to two cents a mile in certain States, and to main tain a basis of three cents a mile in adjoining States, and for all inter-State trips, it would be folly to fight the Illi nois law and ,to continue the litigation which has been be gun in other States." This is an intimation that we may soon hear of the calling off of suits. Little Girl Playing; Tag Is Killed ' By Nail. 1 ' Mount Sterling, 111., June 29.
