Mr. Schultz was formerly commissioner of Wyandotte county and served as a police commissioner under the old Metropolitan, police law.

He was also a member of the old Wyandotte city council, years ago. Until three years ago, when ho retired, he was in the groc-iy business. He was born in Schlesweg Holstein in Northern Germany. He leaves a widow, three sons aud a daughter, all of Kansas City, Kas. The sons are: Henry A.

Since January 1, 1905, according to reports made by the letter carriers of the city, 1,047 new buildings nave been erected within the city limits. Build ing has also been active in tha territory lying outside of the city limits, in wh it'll 200 or 300 will be erected during the year. It is estimated that in the city alone not less than 1.S00 buildings will be completed by the close of the year, at a cost exceeding two million dollars. This unusual activity in building indicates a rapid increase in popuKtion and that the city is now growing at a rate of not less than 10,000 a year. There is no boom on.

Both the increase on building and in population aro the outcome of a natural expansion of the city alone all lines of busies. The erection of new packing and of manufacturing plants in general, adding us they have thousands to the working force of the city, has created a remand for houses. As these fill up, they create a demand for business houses, and in tms way the city's growth is forwarded. Vith increase of population tins city is beginning to assume more of a met ropolitan appearance than it has at any time in the past. It is fast shedding the swaddling clothes which hampered it, as a suburb of Kansas City, and is asserting its in dependence as a seperate and distinct metropolis.

A year or two hence, if the spirit that is now manifesting itself holds out, the old order of things will have completely passed, away and Kansas City, Kansas, will take its place on the map, not only as the first city in Kansas, but as a strong competitor iu every line of business and of effort of the city on the Missouri side of the state line. Three Years Off for Heat. James H. Pou, of counsel for Rey mond D. Bynum, of Raleigh, who Mon day was sentenced to fifteen years I The corn crop of the United Stater for this fruitful year is expected tc aggregate about 2,500,000,000 bushels the cash value of which is estimated at $1,000,000,000.

Absolute accuracj either in ante-harvest calculations oij in a post harvest summing up of thi3 cr any other great crop is obviously impossible; but the official, figure: may be accepted as a close enough ap proach to facts for all practicable pur much nearer to absolute truth that most of the statistics on which the government, operating through tht Census bureau and the Labor bureau expends a good deal of money and vast amount of labor. Some of the problems attacked by official statis ticians are simply impossible of solu-1 tion by any means that could be devis ed others, are not soluble by an available means or means that could be provided withdut enormous cost But the difficulty attending the collec tion cf accurate figures as to the corr crop is not greater than that of com prehending and appreciating all the uses to which this king of cereals is applied. Many and varied as are the forms in which it is directly consumed as foot1 by mankind, such use of it account! for but a small fraction of the tota use in creating food supply. The crop that goes into the making of beef pork and mutton, and the numberless by-products of slaughtered cattle, hog-' and sheep, would probably foot up a- almost half of the annual production Next to that, we suspect, stands tht utilization of corn for animal power ir the shape of horses, mules and oxen Then comes the distillery, with its demand for millions of bushels, probably more bushels than, according to a so cial philosopher in Southern Illinois are "wasted for bread;" and last, bui perhaps, not least, is the corn that it converted into milk, and thence intc butter and cheese. People in all sta tions in life, all sorts and conditions of men, from tiny babyhood to the clos ing scene, are using corn every day Millions use its prioducis without thinking of or caring for their source Of all the cereals, and of all food crops, corn ts the most useful to this nation.

Great as is the value of wheat and hard as it might be to dispense with it, its loss would be a far less de- plorabble calamity than the absence of corn. Washington Post. Very Earnest Officeseeker. Very soon after the inauguration of Governor Seward of New York, Vivus W. Smith, the Whig leader of Onon daga county, wrote an earnest letter to Thurlow Weed requesting him to use all of his influence with the gov ernor to have a certain man appointed Indian agent for the Onlondaga In dians.

Now Thurlow Weed knew the man to be a trouble maker, quarrelsome, vindictive, a party machine disturber; and Governor Seward also had an unfavorable impression of him. As the result of a conference, at the sugges tion of the governor, a letter was writ ten by Mr. Weed, asking that someone else be named for the place. This brought Vivus W. Smith to Albany, as had been anticipated, and he took Mr.

Weed to task for questioning his in dorsement, or delaying the appoint ment, and finally Mr. Weed said, substantially: "Of course if you insist upon it, this appointment will have to be made, but you must know that he is a trouble maker." "Nobody knows that so well as I do," was the answer. "Then give me some reason which I may give to the governor, for making this objectionable appointment." "I don't want to give any reason, other than my individual indorsement and urgent recommendation." "But, it seems to me that you ought to be willing to give the governor some good reason with wjiich to answer the storm of criticism which must follow the appointment." "Well, that's Just what I don't want to do. I don't want anybody to know why I made this recommendation." "Well, tell me. and I will tell the governor, and it will go no further." Weed, you know that, there are two parties among Onondagas the Christians and the pagans.

Now my man is known to be a little inclined toward the Christians. The pagans have heard this, and they -ave agreed amons themselves to kill him or an? olner agent that sides with the Chris tian faction. Now my man Vants to go, and his friends want him to go, and Lis enemies want him to go, and if he soes he. will probably make no more trouble for us, and besides "He won't" bo annolnted." inter runt ed Thurlow Weed; and.he wasn't.

The word fish has passed througir many varied forms since It was ptecil In the old Latin tongue, and the same Is true of shark and skate, which Ir the same language was carsharus and squatus. Trout was originally tructa which in turn is lost in a very old Greek word, meaning eat or gnaw Perch harks back to the Latin Perca and the Romans got it from the Greek among whom it meant spotted, But fa I back of their time we find pricnl it Sanskrit with tne same meaning.
