'Across thi Hall.
Across the hall front Mrs. Burton's
room lay her husband, whose condi
tion, like that oi his wife, U regarded
as critical by hospital authorities. Be
tween gasps, and in a voice scarcely
iiudihlc, he asked:"
"How' Rose?" .
"P.ettcr," he was informed.
. "That's good," he gasped. '
- "Do you think you'll live?"
"Hope not."
"Do you think your wife still loves
von?"
"Oh, no! Oh, 1 can't talk, I m
burning up."
A letter from Sirs. Burton's mother,
found bv police yesterday, reads
in part: "Well, jou know how good
a "mother I always was to you even
to the last when I left you both at
the train. Your birthday was the
10th. I had worked hard to get you
a nice birthday supper, but you didn't
come.' Xeither did darling Ray, for
I love both of you dearly. God
knows my pravcr is always on my
lip for vou both, find you know Dad
would "do anything tor you both.
Take mv advice, be good to . Ray.
He dearly loves you and his work
is against, hint now. " '
"Don't Give 'Up Ray."
"Now, clear, oiice again take my
advice and warning. You know
what I me?-i. Don't give up Ray for
love or money; he love you, God
knows I know you are working, but
don't give up Kay for all of. that.
Everybody wants to know wher:
vou are. Don't tell them where you
"are, you know what - they would
think. , r
"Well, dear little daughter, write
me, I will never be the same again.
Be good to Ray and have, a heart.
You know a year ago this time it
would be worse. Take my advice.
Less than an hour before her hus
band tried to kill her. Mrs. Burton,
despite the fact she had just lost her
iob, borrowed 25 cents from Miss
La Tossic thatjier husband might
have food.
' Both May Recover. ..
Police Surgeon F. H. Kinyoun said
vestcrday morning both Mr. and Mrs.
- Burton probably will recover. Nor
will Mrs. Burton be blinded by the
acid which burned vher face, he said.
She expressed the intention of
prosecuting her husband, according

Lincoln. 'May !8.-(By A. I'.)
More than half of the corn crop
wa planted during the first two
week of May and with a general
abundance of moisture the crop
should sprout nicely, although a
shortage in the supply of sub-soil
moisture i reported in some sections,
according to the semi-monthly crop
report issued by the state federal
bureaus of crop estimates. Planting
is slightly advanced over that of last
year, in contrast to spring grains,
which are considerably later than a
year ago, says the report.
Wheat needs more tain in most of
the counties, and some reports in
dicate that wheat is slightly yellow

conditions are reported from other
section.

cents a bushel and most of the farm
ers around Cairo were not anxious
