The Jury Easily Reaches q verdict-The
Case Against Mrs. Rautxahn.
LEAvENwORrH, Kan, June H.
Charles A. Benson. who has been on
trial for the murder of Mrs Mettman.
is condemned man. Immediately up
on the converting of court yesterday
morning the foreman of the jury an
nounced that a verdict had been agreed
upon. The verdict was that of guilty
of murder in the first degree.
Benson seemed to care not at all. The
shadow of a great trouble was in his
eyes, and deepening lines attested the
consuming anxiety of days. but the
careworn look had marked his face for
days and this fateful elimination of
his trouble did not move him.
There was no disagreement whatever
among the jurors. Five minutes after
they retired Tuesday they were pre-
rendered yesterday. The remotest
possibility of a disagreement was ut
terly destroyed by the cross-eXamina-
ton of Benson. The man of many
names and deeds of blood himself
placed the loop about his neck Hav-
ing been tried in the United States
court instead of the state court the
penalty in Benson's case is hanging and
not life Imprisonment.
What the disposition of the case
against Mrs. Mary Rautzahn will be is
not positively known, but to hear of a
dismissal in the case would neither be
surprising nor startling. There is prac-
tically no evidence in existence outside
of the statement made by herself con-
Meeting her in any way with the crime.

THE BLACK REPUBLIC.
Possible Severance of Diplomatic Relations
With Hayti.

Possible Severance of Diplomatic Relations
With Hayti.
New YORK, June ia special from
Washington to the Herald SAYS the gov
eminent is seriously considering the
question of cutting off all diplomatic
relations with Hayti. The letter writ
ten by Minister Firman to the special
commissioners of the United States in
reply to a request for a lease of the
mole st. Nicholas has been taken up in
Washington.
During the uprising two years ago
Hippolyte sent a commissioner to this
country, who virtually pledged to the
United States the lease of coaling sta
ton and certain commercial privileges
in the event of the United States lend
ing her neral support to Hippolyte.
This the United States did, and it
proved the turning point in the uprising
in the black republic. for shortly after
ward Legitime was deposed.
Recently a commission was sent to
Port au Prince to receive fulfllment
of the pledges. Instead they received
a very irritating reply; in which Hippo
lvte absolutely declined to enter into
any negotiations for lease of the mole
and objected to the continued presence
in Port au Prince of United States men
of war. He completed ignored any OBJ
legation toward the United States.
Minister Douglass will soon arrive in
this country on a leave of absence, and
it is probable that before he returns all
diplomatic intercourse will have ceased.
1t will then lie with Hayti to make
such apologies and reparation as may
| be required

ton Of the area is attributed in
some districts to concerted contrac-

4 MEXICAN Tramp Deliberately Cuts ths
Throat Of = Small Boy and steals HIS
Horse-Tho Wretch Captured.
GARDEN CITY, Kan. June 1.-THE
nine-year-old son of Louis Garnet. .
ranchman living eleven miles west OF
here. was herding cattle on his fathers
ranch when he was suddenly seized by
. Mexican tramp, who stole up behind
him. The fiend cut the boys throat
from ear to ear and then threw him
into an irrigating canal thinking him
dead.
The wretch then took the horse the
boy was riding and started for tho
mountains, going past the home OF the
boy whose father saw and recognized
the horse but did not think nything OF
it at the time.
The boy had only tainted from loss
of blood and soon came to and dragged
himself over half mile to his home.
A posse of farmers Immediately start
ed in pursuit of the tramp and after
an all night chase captured him
near the Colorado line. He was
taken without much resistance and
turned over to the sheriff of this coun-
ty, who was only a short distance be-
hind.
When caught the man was riding the
stolen horse and had a razor in his
pocket which was covered with blood
and also had blood on his shirt and
coat. He is full blood Mexican. is
about five feet high. weighs 40 pounds
and is about IS years old. He claims
not to understand English.
The fiend was taken to Lakin, en-
route to Garden City, and while there
conversed with Mexican and confessed
the crime, but said he did it in self de-
Tense. Great excitement prevails and
the chances are that if the boy dies he
will be lynched.

rollers all set going in the opposite di-

through the rolls again. By reversing
the machinery each time the ingot can

Eggs for the Winter Market.
THE QUESTION Is HOW TO MAKE THE HEN
LAY MORE THAN USUAL

THE QUESTION Is HOW TO MAKE THE HENS
LAY MORE THAN USUAL.
Ib is in winter time that the price of eggs
reach such point that the poultryman
could soon get rich if the hens would only
keep up their summer laying; but as the
pyics is regulated by the laying of the hens,
sach conjunction of good things-high
prices and plenty of eggs-can never be
sxyected. Still the poultryman can en-
deavor to bring about these results as near
as possible. The winter price of eggs will
always be high, and the only question is
how to make the hens lay more than usual.
AT Of the improved methods of caring for
the hens, giving them warm feed, warm
waksr, warm houses. and careful attention
ST through the cold months, have resulted
il inducing the average f,ck to lay more
eggs than formerly. There is still, howev-
or abundant room for Improvements in this
way, and with the thousands of expert
meuts going on annually our stock of hen
knowledge is being vastly added to. But
there is another question worthy of atten-
tion, and that is the manner of shipping
eggs to market. The wide-awake poultry
man will watch the markets, and ship his
eggs to the market where the prices are
she highest, no matter how far distant. 10

egg in paper, and then wrap small piece
OF ercelsior in the bottom of the box, and
sex the wrapped edges carefully. Fasten
