MEETING OF THE HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY

According to announcement thu
Horticultural Society met last Satur
day afternoon in the north side schOo
room. The meeting was called to or
der by President Kelsey and after the
usual preliminary exercises election o.
officers for ensuing year was held re.
sulting as follows: President, Robt
Cook Vice-President, c. c. Kelsey
Secretary and Treasurer, B. F. Pan.
coast.
Following the election of officers
Mrs. Groesbeck read very well pre-
pared and interesting paper OF Flori-
culture, which we would be glad to
publish in full if our space permitted.
A large part of the paper was devot-
ed to an earnest seconding of the REG
IsTER's plea to farmers to "fix up their
front yards" and give long suffering
wives and daughters chance to raise
some flowers. We wish the address
might be read by every farmer in the
county. Mr.. F. M. Jones, our straw
berry man, read a short paper on
''Small Fruits" com batting the pOpu-
lar notion that they were hard to raise
and urging their more general cultiva-
ton. Perhaps the most interesting
paper read before the meeting was
that by Mr.. Pancoast, giving brief
account of what he saw at the New
Orleans Exposition. He thinks that
Kansas can easily beat the world on
apples, and in comparison with the Or
anges, lemons, figs and sugar that make
up most of the export product of the
southern states, the corn, wheat, cat
tie and hogs of Kansas are greatly to
be preferred.
After the reading of these papers an
awarding committee consisting of Mes
srs. Mcclure, Shelter and Allison
was appointed to pass upon the merits
of the apples upon exhibition. Com
petitors for the premiums offered were
as follows: Ed. Cain, Carlyle, Willow,
Janet; H. Winchester, Carlyle, Marb,
Russell, Janett, unknown; Mrs. Tozer,
lola, York Imperial, Winesap, mixed
plate; J. R. Berry, Geneva, Timber
twig; Mr.. Chase, lola, Gilpin. The
awarded the first premium
to the York Imperial. Mrs. Tozer, and
the second to the Willow, Ed. Cain.
On motion Mr.. Richardson was APP
pointed to take charge of the fruit on
till the May meeting, to
still further test its keeping qualities.
discussions on various hor-
ticultural topics were INDUCED in, after
which the following programme for
the May meeting was adopted /:
Roses" Mrs. s. J. Crow; variety of
Apples, Peaches and Pears Suitable
for small Orchard" d. B. d. Smeltz-
er; Popular Education in Horticult-
lre," Prof. A. S. DIN.

r,neu tne room OF the murdered man Is
entered by the police all is found in confusion.
Drawers are pulled out, cabinets opened or
broken into, as if some one had rummaged
through them in haste; yet portable articles
of great intrinsic value, such as jewels and
money, have been left Behind. This is the
obscure point of the case; but the difficulty
here tells as forcibly against any theory of
the crime as against the theory that Girard
is the guilty person. There is one explanation
that may or may not be deemed satisfactory.
Mental excitement, accentuated by the horror
that follows crime, will account for the most
eccentric behavior. The murderer, completely
unnerved, almost out Of his senses for the
time, may have gone on overturning every
thing and yet taking nothing; or, if he took
up the spoils of blood to remove them, the
thought that they might lead to detection
may have made him lay them down again.
There is sufficient evidence as to the tumult
of mind in which Girard passed the day sub
sequent to the murder.
'sThis is my theory Of the crime, based on
the evidence taken at the preliminary inquiry.

His voice failed him; ahand-clasp said what
each of us had to say. This was the one mo-
ment during our whole interview that Raoul
showed the slightest want of composure. He
recovered himself Immediately.
Soon after had to go, the duration OF my
visit being limited by the prison rules.
''Be patient, my FRIEND" I said to him;
"what has to be done will take time, and the
time will seem doubly long to you. I do not
say be brave, for you are brave; but say,
be patient"
Il will be patient" he said. Looking back
as the warder closed the door, saw his eyes
fixed wistfully upon me; the bolts fell, and
had left my friend in his prison.
After leaving the house of detention I went
straight to the Palace of Justice, to see the
advocate Sapinaud and retain him for RaouPs
defense. Sapinaud was an intimate friend
of mine, and knew Raou1 well also He was

@. You are the intimate friend of the &C
,used, Raoul Girard?
A. For the last four We ars we have been
inseparable.
@. You frequently Fived together, and
were doing SO at the time of this murdera
A. That is SO.
q. 4ou were accusr med to discuss YOUR
private affairs quite r,ely togethera
A. With perfect freedom
@. You were aware, that your friend Girard
had an uncle in Palis-Joseph Meissner, the
money-lender?
A. I was aware that Girard had an uncle
in Paris, but did not know his name, or IN
Iced anything about him, except that he was
rich and misery. We never talked of him
the subject was distasteful to Girard, and I
avoided it.
Q. On the night of Monday, the 9th, YOU
were along with Girard at the Cafe de la
Sources
A. Yes.
@. What was the subject of your CONVEX
sation therea
A. We talked, among other matters, of our
present want Of means and the difficulty of
raising money.
Q. Wes the name of Girard's uncle men
toned in the course of that conversation
A. No.
Q. Was any allusion made to him that
evening?
A. Yes; I suggested that perhaps this rich
uncle Of Girards might lend him some
money.
@. How was that suggestion received BY
Girards
A. He said that it was quite useless to look
for any thing from that quarter
Q. Did Girard, in your hearing, express
any feeling Of ill-will toward his uncle9
A. He expressed his STRONG disgust at the
old mans avarice.
Q. Did he give utterance to any word or
words expressing personal hatred enmity9
A. 1t was impossible for Raoul to have a
friendly feeling toward his uncle, after the
treatment he had received from him.
@. That is a negative statement. Did he
express in words what you call an absence of
friendly feelng?-did he threaten his uncles
A. Certainly not.
@. Did he apply to his uncle any epithet
that might be called unfriendlys
A. Given after pause remember that
he called his uncle sscur;;" an epithet. I
thought, well chosen.
