LOOKS BAD FOR MISS JOHNSON.
The general public expected that Miss
johnson would be admitted to bail. but the
part OF the judges ruling in which 10 stated
her relation to Miss Mitchell in the com
mission of the crime. makes it evident that
the state has In its possession evidence
which has not been made public
which will hold Miss johnson for trial
on the charge of aiding in the murder
instead OF a mere form OF release upon bail
as was sanRuinely expected by her friends.
The part OF the ruling referred TO is as fol-
lows: witnesses Ia this case have been
summoned aud fully examined, and with
cut Reversing the evidence as
presented it is sufficient to
say that the court Is clearly
OF the opinion that proof is evident that
the defendant aided and abetted in the COM

her codefendant are charged-a crime the
most shocking and malignant ever perpe-
trated by woman"

and devotee Of farmers alliance doctrines,
has created great deal Of comment in this

that the farmers of the Dakotas and Mime
sofa have lost $26, 0O0 900 on wheat sold up
to Dec. 8, 1891. of this years crop. He then
proceeds to show the farmers their
folly in not building their own
mills and thereby securing 81 q bushel
for their wheat with a ton of feed
per 100 bushels, together with some min Or
advantages. Any community that can de-
liver $4,000 bushels of " heat, he says, can
thereby keep 50-barrel mill running for a
year, and the mill can be built for $1,000
This, Mr.. johnson says, will secure 81 per
bushel for every bushel of wheat raised by
the shareholders. Mr.. johnson would all
low so cents barrel for the handling Of the
