his grandfather, owing to the absence of his
father. who was supposed to be dead and
year ago man presented himself at the
home of Mrs. Barney, claiming to be the
father of her departed husband and asked
the privilege of sharing in a few of the com
forts of the home OF his departed son. After
some hesitancy his request was granted with

OF his identity. During the last six or eight
months he has been getting overbearing. and
often tried to make trouble between Mrs.
Barney and her neighbors, and has had sew

but condescended to divide the proceeds if
Mrs. Barney would sell the same This Mrs.
Barney refused to do, preferring to take her
chances with the law. During her absence

The Indiana Election Scandal.

There will be three election indie tments
ready for the United States grand jury to
pass upon when it resumes it's sitting at In
dianapolis. 1t is thought, however, that the
evidence relative to the charges against Col.
w W. Dudley is not far enough advanced to
warrant any definite action against him at
that time. The original letter in which, it is
alleged, the advice to bride appears hasn't
been produced. At the outset of
this investigation several Democrats,
notably Judge Claypool Judge Ayres
and John W. Murphy, appealed to the
committee of one hundred to take the matter
up. The officers OF the committee expressed
willingness and readiness to do So but in
sisted on having the evidence the gentleman
named had secured presented to Them but
the Democrats declined to put Others in pos
session of what they had. Since the grand
jury investigation began the committee has
been several times solicited to commence the
gathering of evidence at point reached by
the Others who have been pursuing it, but
at each renewal of the request
the committee has insisted that the first evil
dence it must have is the letter. Mr.. Murphy
went to Capt Ritter attorney of the com
mittee, and urged that he give his assistance

captain that if he would bring me the letter

Rings an Evidence of Age in Trees.

s.
Mr.. R. W. Furras, an agent of the
United States forestry department.
who has devoted much study to rings
in timber as indicating the age of
trees, has reached the following con-
clusion: Concentric or annual rings,
which were once accepted as good
legal evidence, fail, except where eli
mate, soil, temperature, humidity
and all other surroundings are regu-
lar and well balanced. Otherwise
they are mere guesswork. The only
region, within his knowledge, where
either ring or measurements were re-
liable indications are the secluded,
even and regularly tempered valleys
Of the southern Pacific coast. An
nual measurements of white elm, cat
alpa, soft, maple, sycamore, pig hick-
DRY, cottonwood, chestnut, box elder,
honey locust, coffee tree, burr and
white oak, black walnut, Usage or
ange, white pine, red cedar, mulberry
and yellow willow nineteen species)
made in southeastern Nebraska show
that an annual growth is very irreg-
ular, sometimes scarcely perceptible,
and again quite large and this he
attributes to the difference in seasons.
AS trees increase in age inner rings
decrease in size, sometimes almost
disappearing. Diminished rate in
growth after certain age is a rule.
