The intense heat yesterday morning was followed by light showers before noon, but the latter were 'not cooling. Toward four o'clock heavy clouds began to assemble in the western sky and at 5 p.

m. or shortly after there was a rainfall which let loose something more than an inch of refreshing water before it ceased. Farmers in this section state that the rain was a God-send, as the corn was already beginning to suffer from the heat and dry atmosphere. Wheat is about all thrashed and oats is nearly all in the shock, so that there was little to suffer from the heavy rain. The only drawback was that the rain was accompanied by a high wind, and as the latter did not cease during the drenching, many fields of early corn were laid flat and quite a number of fruit and ornamental trees were blown down.

A large but worthless apple tree, except for shade, was broken Gown in Albert Rundle's yard, and near it one of the old maples, on the terrace was also destroyed. While the wind assumed quite a velocity, there was no twist or whirl, or the damage would have been greater. At the Zeigler observator the mercury had ascended to 95 just before the storm broke.

There is Nothing Better Than a Movable Colony One. For a tarmer's house know of nothing that will give better satisfaction than a movable colony house, such as is used at Macdonald College, a photo and plan of Front View. Front View. which accompanies. This house is 8 x12 feet.

floor built on two skids and accommodates 25 hens and 3 males in the winter and half as many more during the summer. A team of horses can draw it to any part of the farm that may be desired. This gives fresh ground to the hens, and feed that might otherwise go to waste, can be made use of. For farm use the studding need not be so high, and the house can be built of available material. A loose board ceiling over which is placed straw provides for the absorption of moisture and even in A Plan of Interior.

the coldest days, hens are quite comfortable. A farmer can add to his equipment one house at a time, and gradually work up to the desired C. Elford. Color of Shell and Quality. It is sometimes said that the color of the shell of an egg indicates the richness of the yolk, but in the absence of positive proof we should say that the color of the shell in no way affects the quality of the egg.

One breed of hens will lay eggs with white shells, while others will lay eggs with all degrees of shades, from the light tint to the darkest brown, and we have yet to find any person who could distinguish the kind from the flavor. It is true that all markets have their preference, some demanding the white and others the dark, but this is due merely to a matter of choice and not because the people think one better than the other. of course, food, in a measure, may, and doubtless will, affect the richness of the egg. but the color of the shell will not indicate this. Supply the kind your market prefers and your profits will be larger.

Water for the Chicks. Take an ordinary baking pan and have the tinsmith rivet on an "ear" on one side for nailing to a tree. Have him also make a hole in the bottom in one corner, that the water can be let out every day and the pan be kept clean. Nail the pan to a tree about twelve inches from the ground, so the chicks can drink without getting into it with their feet. The birds will soon discover that it is a fine place from which to get a drink on hot days.

Sometimes they find, too, that it is a convenient place for a bath, and this of course makes the water dirty. But it is not much trouble to refill the pan with clean water, and this should be done two or three times a day. Chickens and birds require a great deal of water, and they often suffer for lack of it. Don't neglect them. Guinea Fowls.

The flesh of guineas is generally dark colored, tender, juicy and in flavor equal to the ring-neck English pheasant. Many think it more palatable, for the flavor is not 80 pronounced, and there is considerably more of it. The flesh of the white guinea is light in color, and if they are crossed with the pearl variety the meat of the latter will become nearly as light. Two Yards for Chickens. Where possible, it is advisable to have two yards, one on the north side I of the house for a warm weather run, and the other on the south side.

Ground frequently becomes "fowl sick" from long use. It is necessary, when this condition prevails to plow up the ground and it in some crop. By this means, the earth becomes clear of poisonous droppings. Ford In every State of the Unionyou'll find Fords outnumbering any other car three to one.

Phone 35 JUDGE COCHRAN GRANTS CHANGE TRIAL TO BE IN LOGAN COUNTY Change of Venue Granted In The Case of The State vs Carl Judge W. Cochran called court for the closing of the adjourned June term Monday, the principal business to be transacted was that of action on the proposed change of venue in the Person murder case.

The change was allowed, and Lincoln was the place selected in which the case will be tried. In granting this change Judge Cochran stated that he had served' as judge of this circuit seventeen years, and this was the first instance in which he had -allowed a case to go out of the circuit. The attorneys for the defense had secured 512 affidavits favoring the change, while the state's attorney had 476 in rebuttal. Action was quickly taken, the court not taking the time to hear lengthy arguments pro and con, but giving his decision under one of the most recent court rulings, that of the Pfanschmidt case at Quincy. In selecting the pipace at which the case should be tried, both attorneys for the defense were in favor of either Bloomington or Decatur, State's Attorney Williams objecting to both of these cities from the fact that Attorney Comerford had made labor addresses in both.

Sullivan, being the home of Judge Cochran, was eliminated. The court finally selected Lincoln, as being the point that would be the least expensive to the county, and also one to which the witnesses could go in the morning and return home in the evening. Before settling on the place for trial Judge Cochran requested the attorneys to get together and agree on the place, but Mr. Comerford answered that he would not under any consideration enter into a conference with the state's attorney of DeWitt county, while the latter said he would never agree to a parley with the attorney from Chicago, which left the selection with the court. There was quite a heated discussion in regard to a threatening letter which attorney Miller had received, but the court stated that Mr.

Miller should go into details in regard to the missive with the state's attorney, as Mr. Comerford had met with failure in that direction. The defendant, Person, was in the court room, and seemed to take a deep interest in the proceedings. Court sets at Lincoln the third Monday in September, and the defendant will be at liberty until that time. The circuit clerk was instructed by the court to send all papers, having any bearing on the case to the circuit clerk of Logan county.

The matter of the proper bond in the civil suit brought against him by the administrator of. the estate of Antone Musser was brought up by Comerford but no disposition was made. Mr. Comerford returned to Chicago Monday night. A FAMILY OF JUDGES From the following it would appear that the mental capacity for serving as court judge runs in the blood.

Judge Homer W. Hall, of Bloomington has a personal interest in the judges who have served recently or who are serving on the bench of the Sixth judicial circuit. Judge Solon Philbrick of Champaign, who died recently, was a cousin and Judge William K. Whitfield of Decatur, recently named by Gov. Dunne to the position left vacant by the death of Judge W.

C. Johns, is also a cousin. AGED MOTHER IS AT REST Was among the Oldest Residents of De Witt County--Aged Eighty and Five Years. BUCKS Another of the good old pioneer mothers, who made the world better for having lived in it, has passed to her reward, and there is rejoicing in "the land that is fairer than this." Her years of suffering closed with the beginning of an eternity of painless rest Mrs. Mary Jane McKinney died at her home on West Washington street yesterday afternoon She had been in failing health several years and for seven years.

she has been helpless. She has been seriously ill for two months. Her loss will be keenly felt as she had many friends. Mary Jane Smith was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, June 6, 1829, and was 85 years old. She was married to John McKinney in September 1849, and to them were born seven children, five of whom survive.

The surviving children are: John H. and W. of Clinton; Alonze of McLean county; Howard, of Barnett township and Miss Ida McKinney at home. She is also survived by sixteen grandchildren and eight greatgrandchildren. Mr.

and Mrs. McKinney moved to Illinois in 1863, locating in McLean county. Early in the seventies they moved to Barnett township 12 tars county, where they. resided until the husband's death when she removed to Clinton. The funeral will be at the residence at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon, conducted by Rev.

R. V. Callaway. Burial in Woodlawn cemetery. INTERURBAN MADE HEYWORTH That the interurban road through Heyworth has practically "made" that town is now conceded by a large majority of the residents.

Some years ago, when the interurban idea was broached, there were objectors--as are to be found in every town. Today after the Illinois Traction System has been in operation for a number of years, the Heyworth pepople would feel lost without it. There were some who maintained that the traction line, with a car every hour or two, would carry trade from home, but business men say that business has never been better, the town has prospered and people outside know that Heyworth is fon the map." are fourteen trains daily each way out of Heyworth. There is always someone to get on and some one to get off. This shows that the road is patronized.

The Illinois Central with its lax passenger service sometimes barely stops in Heyworth. for the people ride the interurban almost wholly unless they are going to points beyond Bloomington or Decatur. The Heyworth people now have electric lights--far more than was expected ten years ago. The advantages are appreciated and boosted today, whereas eight years ago, when the project was mentioned there were arguments on the other side. Up-todate travel is making the town a hustling spot on the map -Pantagraph.

The Pantagraph as truthfully said that the wide- awake merchants of Hey worth have had much to do in "making Heyworth." They are liberal advertisers. They patronize the Heyworth paper well. They do not ignore the home paper, the one that boost3 Heyworth and put their ads in other papers. They are for Heyworth first. Miss Ila V.

Moore of this city and Clarence V. Helmick of Farmer City were married in Bloomington last Saturday, Both are well known and prominent young people in their respective neighborhoods..
