A NEW TRIAL ORDERED
In the Celebrated Hillmon Life Insur-

In the Celebrated Hillmo n Life Insur-
 ance Case.
 WASHINGTON, May 16. - The Mutual Life, New York Life and Connecticut Life Insurance companies to-day succeeded in securing an order from the supreme court for @ new trial in the somewhat celebrated Hilimon life insurance case.
 This is @ case of alleged attempt to swindle the insurance companies out of a large amount of money by palming off the body of one man for that of another man on whose life there were large policies Hillmon had policies aggregating $25, 900 on his life in the three companies named and when his death was announced not a great while after the issuance of the policies the companies became suspicious of fraud and refused to pay the amount of the policies to Ssllie E. Hillmon. Death, it was asserted, resulted through an accident at Crooked Creek, Kan. Af- ter the coroner's inquest the insurance companies succeeded in having the body exhumed and contested the suit brought by Mrs. Hillom, setting up the claim that the body was that of a man named Wal ters. Photographs were submitted to the court of Hillmon and of the corpse. The lower court gave judgment for Mrs. Hill mon and this judgment was to-day re- versed on the ground of errors at the trial, particularly the exclusion of certain evil dence

SACRIFICES TO THE MCKINNEY GOD
For thousands of years the Egyptians
thought that the annual overflow of the
Nile, which mesnt prosperity. was caus-
ell by riyer-god who admired beauty
When the Nile was few hours late in
getting full banks, the Egyptians used to
throw beautiful maiden into the river
to propitlate the riyer-god. The river
gods name may have been Tariff, for all
we know, aud the family of Mckinley
may have furnished the priest who al
ways dumped the poor Offering of beauty
into the stream. Ii has been discovered
since the Egyptians used to propitiate
the river-god that ordinary rains at the
source OF the Nile raise and always rails
ed that river to the fertilizilg point,
wherefore, it is deducible that the maid
on sacrifices were useless unless they
caused the clouds in Central Africa to
get together more promptly. In these
modern days, when the manufacturing
Nile does not rise satisfactorily, this high
priests Of economies sacrifice few
thousand farms every year to the tariff
Tiver-g0d. Some time it will be found
out that the river OF prosperity has no
river-god, but that nature regulates its
heights just the same whether or not
farms are thrown into its nav by the
high priests Of the Mckinley tribe or any
other tribe. It may be incidently re.
marked that the farms, like the Egyp-
tian maiden, that are offered as sacrifices
will not return to gladden. those from
whom they are taken.

Governor MCKINNEY. as usual, says the
Omaha World-Herald, lays great stress
upon the home market theory. He ex-
tolls its virtues-and then skaters it to
atoms. He tells The farmers what a
blessing il is to hayea big factory for Il
neighbor; how il creates ii demand for
his produce; and how the demand increas-
es the price; how it makes more skilled
iaborers, increases the consumers and
lessons the number of producers. Aud

by weeping over the sad conditions of the
English farmers. IL there is anything
in the home market theory the farmers
of England should be the most pros
porous people on earth. They have
factories innumerabie at their very doors
and transportation cuts no figure i'll the
problem. English farners cannot raise
ons-tenth enough produce to feed the
Britons, and yet Governor MCKINLEY
would have the American farmer believe
that theory which will not work in
England can be made to work in Aneri-
ca by taxing the masses.

like the majority Of the prohibitionists
it is in favor OF a minority rule when it
comes to matters of this kind. Original
ly the prohibitionists made the plea TO
the conservative class of voters that they
should be fair and give the people an
opportunity to express themselves for or
against constitutional prohibition, and
as their argument had much in it to on
FIRST thought to commend, their prayers
were granted. But it will be found now
that after five years trial these same
fanatics are not willing that the people
shall express their approval or disap-
proval of state prohibition. They are
not built that way. They never are.
