Plattsmouth school teacher, who was
killed In the Missouri Paciflo railroad
wreck near Fort Crook last Sunday, was

court Saturday, when It settled with Miss
Kanka's family for $t.7D0. The bulk of
the money will go to Miss Kanka's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Anton Kanka, sr.,
of Plattsmouth.
Negotiations for a settlement with the
Kanka family were opened by Francis
A. Brogan, attorney for the Missouri
Pacific, shortly after the wreck. Anton

the wreck victim, secured appointment
as administrator of his sister's estate,
and Immediately demanded $ir.000 dam
ages of the railroad company.

admitting that Miss Kanka met death In
the manner described by her brother's
petition and admitting liability for pe-
cunlary damages, but refusing to admit
liability In a specific sum.

Judgment for $1,700, and Kanka accepted
the offer. The Judgment Immediately was

Oregon Shows Some
Splendid Corn at the
Omaha Land Show
A wonderful exhibit of corn has Just
been received by express at the Willa
mette valley exhibit from one of the
counties In the southern end of the Willa
mette valley. The stalks measure fifteen
feet In height, bearing magnificent ears
of corn. The question as to whether corn
will grow In Oregon seems to be conclu
sively answered, Nebraska farmers gen
erally have the Impression that corn,
anything approaching the product grown
In Missouri valley, cannot be grown in
Oregon because It does rot harden and
there are no hot nights.
While the acreage Is not great, corn Is
being grown In considerable quanuxie
along the river bottoms In Lane, Llnn and
Benton counties, In the central portion or
the valley. Fields of twenty to thirty
acres ars seen more frequently than
formerly. The corn does best when accli
mated seed Is used Red Butcher or
White Dent. It is no longer regarded as
an experiment, but Is a profitable crop.
As high as seventy-five, bushels to tne
acre are being raised.
Corn Is grown for putting the finishing
touches to fattening hogs. It Is an es
pecially profitable crop when grown be
tween the rows of Kngllsn wainvjt trees,
peach trees or apple trees. , 1(
HUGE DRAINAGE MACHINE
-SHOWN AT THE LAND SHOW
Frederic C. Bagcr, representing the F.
C. Austin Drainage Excavator company
of Chicago, has a unique and Interesting
exhibit at the Land show. An exact re
production, on a minute scale, of the
huge drainage excavators which the com
pany manufactures Is shown with many
photographs of the machine at work.
This machine Is a marvelous creation of
steel, the frame being of structural steel
and the sprocket wheels, gears and pin
Ions of cast steel. The machinery Is all
mounted on a roller platform traotlon
so that it can be taken from Vine ditch
to another with little difficulty.
One advantage of the machine Is that
it travels along while at work by Its own
power. When equipped with rolling plat
form traction It runs direct on tne sur
face, and when on wheels the wheels
travel on a special track which Is picked
up from behind by the machine and laid
down as wanted. Tha ditches It digs are
of sloping banks and no work done by It
has been found defective.

Name in1 Milwaukee
The printing of a stpry In The Bee
about little Virginia Pearce, daughter of
Fred Pearce of Omaha, who wears boy's
clothes whenever she gets a chance, has

resembling Virginia in appearance, wears
boy's clothes all summer and milks cows.
C. T. Piatt of Omaha, uncle of the
Milwaukee girl, says she spends the
summer, clad In overalls, on the farm.
Mr. Piatt clipped from a Milwaukee paper
the following article about her:
'Little Janet Pierce, the 13-year-
old daughter of Frederick U Pierce, set
a pace the other day at the dairy show
which It would be hard for soma country
maids to emulate.
'She was standing before the stall where
some fine looking cows comroriamy
chewed their cuds. Frank B. Hopkins was
with her, pointing out the beauties of the
bovlnes, and asked her If she didn't wish
uhe could milk the cows.
" 'I can milk,' she said, at which Joseph
J. Simpson, who was also of the party,
told the little lady that If she could
really milk the cow enough to fill a glass
he would give ber a five-pound box of
candy.
Hhe did It."

ARGUED BEFORE COMMISSION

Joseph, Bloax City, Kan

Arguments relative to the protests filed
with the Interstate Commerce commis
sion against the various railroads by the
live stock markets of Missouri river
cities began Saturday morning In the
United States district court room in ths
federal building, with Special Examiner
F. W. Mackley presiding.
Efforts on the part of the railroads to
cancel a freight rate for live stock which
has been In effect for many years and
which has heretofore been satisfactory,
and to substitute in Its stead one which
Is 33 per cent higher, led to an organised
protest from the live stock markets of
Omaha, Bouth Omaha, Kansas City, BL
Joseph and Hioux City, who assert that
the increased rate proposed by the rail
roads Is an attempt to add to their reve
nues at the expense of ths public. The
live stock men were unanimous In their
appeals for ths retention of the old rate
on cattle and feeder sheep, which Is 25
per cent less than the rate on fat stock.
Representatives from St. Joseph, Bloux
City, St. Paul, Omaha and Kansas City,
together with shlppors from Illinois, Iowa,
Bouth Dakota and Missouri wers present
to testify agalnHt 4 lie proposed new rate.
The increased freight rate which was
to go into effect has been ordered sus
pended until the close of the investigation,
which will be some time In December.
The Inquiry was continued In Omaha
throughout the day, and Monday morning
will be continued In Kansas City. From
Kansas City the Investigation will pro
ceed to Bloux City, and then to St. Paul,
in order to get In touch with local con
ditions.
Stockmen say that If the proposed in
crease Is allowed to stand, It will havs
the effect of raising the price ol meat
to the consumer who buys at retail.

Searchers Unable to
Find Axe Murderer
ELLSWORTH, Kan., Aug. Sl.-Prlvate
detectives snd county officers who have
been' Searching since lust Monday for
the man who murdered the five mem
bers of the Showman family, say to
night the outlook for the capture of the
slayer is gloomy. They believe the mur
derer has left the vicinity.
Every report save one, that ths man
detained at Nowklrk, Okl., resembles
Charles Marxyek, who Is under suspicion,
has been Investigated and no light shed
on the mystery. An officer who knows
Marxyek was sent to Newklrk tonight
to attempt Identification.
For a time today officers thought they
had John Smith, the mysterious man
who left bloody clothes at the Baker
house here on the night of the murders
and who was found by a coroner's Jury
to be responsible for the killing. At
Kanopolls today John Smltherman, a
laboring man from Junction City, was
arrested by local officers. However,
Sheriff John Harbea of Junction City
came here tonight and practically con
vinced the authorities that Smltherman
had nothing to do with the Showman
case.
A private detective today found finger
prints on a bucket In which the murderer
washed his hands before leaving the
Showman house. A message has been
sent to Lansing prison requesting copies
of the finger prints of Marsyek.
DENVER. Oct. 20.-That Charles
Marsyek, sought as a suspect in ths
Ellsworth. Kan., quintuple murder case,
was In Denver a week prior to ,the sex
tuple murder ol the Wayne and Burnham
famlllos In Colorado Springs September
IT, was the statement made to police of
ficials todsy by Patrolman Louis Kratke.
According to Kratke, Marsyek, whom he
knew as a boy, hailed him on ths street
here about September 10, Kratke being
unable to remember the exact date.
Kratke's statement conflicts with ths
assertions of Marsyek's relatives here
that letters had been received from
Marsyek In Alaska so reoently as to
make it impossible for him to have re
turned In time to havs committed ths
crimes.
Attorneys General
Oppose Tobacco Plan
NEW YORIC, Oct. 21.-After thoroughly
studying the plan of disintegration filed
by the American Tobacco company with
the judges of the United States circuit
court, the attorneys general of Virginia,
North Carolina and Bouth Carolina, who
have been In conference here on ths mat
ter for three days, reached the conclu
sion today that ths schema proposed
will offer no relief to tobacco growers
of this country. They furthermore ex
press the belief that should this plan
be adopted the victory of ths govern
