Jefferson City, Mo-, Oct. 29.-Graiu In.
spector Jasper n. Burks and Chief Deputy
Inspector Colonel J. NJ. O'Shea will hold
a meeting with the railroad commissioners
tomorrow for the purpose of making final
arrangements for the enforcement of the
grain inspection law on and after Novem-

made in the deputy inspectors and clerks.
About twenty men will be employed at
the start.
A change was made in the criminal cost
law by the legislature, which has escaped
attention. In the trial of state cases, where
The punishment is less than q penitentisry
ofense, the state is required to pay the cost
in case of conviction. This particularly
affects only such cases of conviction Of
minors, who are sentced to reformatory in
stitutions. 1t does not, however, relieve
counties from the cost of keeping such
minors after conviction.

Do not give her money, IS that wouldibe
stolen from her, but see that she is regu.

fellow, who sought notoriety as
a border rough. Though a man of family,
he had been living with the Humes
woman. One day he refused 10 call on
her, but instead went TO see female
named Claude Lewis. This Infatuated the
Humes woman, and, putting a pistol in
her bosom, she declared she was going 10
kill Brown. and asked the Lewis woman
to accompany her. Arriving at the saloon,
Immediately on getting sight of Brown she
pulled the pistol. He ran behind the
stove and threw up his hands. At this mo-
ment she shot, the ball passing through
his heart, resulting in instant death. On
the trial the woman set up half-hearted
plea of selfdefense and again alleged
momentary insanity. She had $1,000
worth of diamonds when her trial began,
which went for lawyers fees, and to-day
she gave the Warden $50 to keep for her,
saying it was all she had left. Her real
name she refuses 10 diyulge.

railroad company, May 6 last began in the
criminal court tEis morning. But two
witnesses were examined, w. J. Hilton,
treasurer of the road and j. p. Cummings,
local freight agent of the Hannibal COM
pany. The question of Kent's conviction

Kent alleges he paid the $1,000 upon pre-
sentation Of a warrant that turned out to
be forgery. Kent is also charged with
attempting to have a draft for 5000
cashed on the day he paid out the 5000.
Mr.. Hilton testified as to the discovery of
the forgery and KeLt's explanation of il.
A strong point in Kent's favor was the les
timony of Mr.. Cummings that the defend
ants books, on examination, balanced TO a

J. SUBSTITUTE FOR GOLD.
Remarkably Rare Metal Found
In Cornwall.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
In a mine at Cornwall. in England,
there has been discovered lode of the
rare and precious metal uranium,
which has hitherto been found only
in small pockets or patches, and in
two or three widely separated locali-
ties. So rare is it that a century ago
its existence Wis unknown. Two of
the most important oxides of uranium
are already used, the one in the
production of costly black por-
celain and the dark tints of
msjolica ware, the other in glass and
porcelain manufacture, to produce
healtbful golden and greenish colors,
and in conjunction with other miner
ais, opalescent hues. The chloride of
uranium is also coming into use as q
substitute for gold in Photographic
work. With PLATINUM and copper
the metal forms two fine alloys, each
resembling gold, and offers a substi-
tute for gold in electroplated ware.
On account of its high electrical resis-
lance it is also likely to be largely
used in electric installations. Its
rarity and high price have hitherto in
terfered with its use in these latter
ways, but the discovery in Cornwall
will no doubt lead 10 Its general in
