NO SENSATION YESTERDAY.
The Coughlin Trial Develops Nothing
New or of Interest.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-THE usual push
ing mob fought its way toward tle
doors of the court yesterday.
Although the days proceedings in the
Coughlin trial presented nothing of
unusual interest, the public desire to
see and hear the scenes and sayings of
the celebrated case was as keen rs it
was on the great days of the trial.
The days work opened with Stephen
Colleran on the stand for cross-exam-
ination by the defense Colleran, in
his testimony yesterday, endeavored
to show that Burke was in the city
after the detectives had claimed to
have located him in Winnipeg, but on
the examination by Mr. Bottum the
witness was made to involve himself
in n serious contradiction. He was
very much confused in his dates.
Frank Seaman. the next witness intro
duced gave testimony showing the
intimate relations existing between
Martin Burke and Cooney, the Fox.
The cross-cxamination was unimpor-
tant.
1t is now asserted that Coughlin will
take the stand in his own behalf be-
fore the conclusion Of the trial.

Dan Coughlin's Defense Likely to Begin

CHICAGO, Jan. l2.-lt is probable
that the state will close its presenta-
ton of evidence in the Coughlin case
by Saturday noon. While this is the
present purpose of Mr.. Bottum and Mr.

it may be necessary to take up Il day
or so of next week. Mclaughlin has
not yet been heard from, but he

However, the prosecution has

the doctor drive away from his house
the night of the murder. Nothing new
was elected. Mrs. Conklin, at whose
residence DR.. Cronin lived ut the time
of the murder, testified at the after

sisted merely of unimportant details

PREPARE FOR A RAID.
Notorious Gang OF Outlaws About Ia
Resume business.


GUTHRIE, o. T., Jan. 13.-Thc Dali
ton gang of outlaws is undoubtedly
preparing to make wholesale raid
upon some of the banks of the terri
tory towns or rob some heavily loaded
train on the Santa Fc or Rock
Island road. Four times within a
week they have made n public
appearance near towns in the Cherokee
strip, only to again disappear for day
and rcappear at some other point.
They openly raided the postoiiice store
at GARRISON to secure supplies, and
have compelled many farmers to feed
them and their horses. There are a
dozen or fourteen in the gang, all
heavily armed, and as all trains now
carry strong guard and most of the
towns have an extra force of officers
on guard. a terrible battle may be
looked for.

KENT.

Kent needs to adopt the town system in her schools. It can be done and money, as we'll as stthe wear and tear" of human patience, be saved. What is more to the purpose, better ser- vice can be rendered, especially in the smaller districts. Some districts use their money wisely and well, but there are districts which seem to strive to see how small amount of schooling they can give for the money. and barely come within the requirements of the law. Such districts should remember that by far the largest part of the school money comes from two or three districts in the town and unless it is used as it should be, they will be heard from.

 George Segar lost a fine colt short time ago by being cut on barbed wire fence. There ought to be a law abolish ing the use of this horrible stuff, espec- tally on line fences. We are not certain but that there is. It is certainly against the law to place it on the highway and in certain other positions. We feel sure the time is near when nobody will use it, if he can find anything else.
 We saw sight the other day that would cause many a boy to weep. A whole box of pigeons, most of them young, consigned to Buck & Darling of Bridgeport, and doubtless soon to be converted into pigeon pie. This is a new industry for Kent, whether profitable or not, we are unable to say.

DEATH OF MRS ANNA BARKER.

Rev Otis w. Barker, pastor of the Con- gregational church, was called away to Brooklyn on the very sad errand of at- tending the funeral of his mother. Mrs Barker died at her summer home at Stone Church, Genesee county, N. I., not far from the city of Rochester, Thursday evening, July l9. For many months she had been a great sufferer from an acute disease; at times her suf- ferings were intense, and death at last came as a sweet release to a beautiful soul from it's shattered home. Through all her hours of pain Mrs Barker bore herself calmly her hopefulness was re- markable, in her keenest pain her face seldom lost it's sweet smile. Out of her sufferings came some of her most cheer that they were led to think that brighter days were coming. Only few days be- fore the end came, she sat down at the piano and sweetly sang, as the shadows of day that was done were falling round her, her well-loved hymn:
 "Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
 Thy sovereign will denies,
 Accepted at Thy throne of grace,
 Let this petition rise."
 It was unique fact that the clergy man who ofiiciated at the funeral should have been one of the boys who played about that very home with her boys many years before. The thought ex- pressed at this time we'll sums up the life: ''It was word spoken in a wicked world, an expression of the will of God. !" Though Mrs Barker was born in Rich- mond, Va, she came to the North in her childhood, and Brooklyn, N. Y., has al- most continuously been her home there- fore it was appropriate that she should rest at last in beautiful Greenwood, near the city's whirl and roar yet in the midst of perfect peace.

SAVE THE FILMS.

Everyone is interested in saving the grand old elms that border our Street, and here is simple remedy for the ter rible pest of worms, which have nearly ruined them, this year, which at least should be looked into. A gentleman tells us that he has heard that in Janu- ary, if an inch and one-half hole is made clear into the heart of the elm and this hole is filled with pulverized sulphur and sealed up with grating wax, the worms will leave the tree alone. It is reported that the treatment has worked we'll out in Pennsylvania, and if it is a cure, 1t should be widely known, for it is inexpensive and easily applied.
