of last summer, when heat and wind
combined for few weeks and in some
counties of the state practically de-
stroyed the growing corn. AS that crop
furnishes the principal staple on which
the Nebraskan relies, its failure is a
serious matter and winter finds the res

entire western region which was

A strange case involving the influence
of hypnotism has just been tried at
Wellington, Kansas. One Tom Mac
Donald, farm hand, confessed the
murder of Thomas Patton at Conway
Springs, and there was no question but
his confession was true. The jury, how
ever, brought in verdict of not guilty.
The theory upon which the defence was
made and the verdict of acquittal ar
rived at was that Macdonald was un Ter
hypnotic influence when he killed Pat
ton, and that the influence was that
produced by the operation of the strong
er mind of Anderson Gray. Gray was
MacDonald's employer, and he is now
under sentence of death for his share
in the murder. Patton was witness
against Gray in an important law suit.
Gray, the defence maintained by his
superior will power, forced Macdonald
to lie in wait for Patton and shoot him.
Gray is man of commanding presence
and dictatorial manner.

The Cattle Commissioners of Massa-
chusetts who have undertaken to exter-
inmate tuberculous cattle in that state
are encountering very vigorous oppo-
sition from the farmers who claim that
the commissioners are destroying per-
fectly healthy cattle the commission
ers in order to detect the diseased cattle
are using what is known as the tuber-
culin test. This fest consists in adj
ministering to the suspected COW prep
aration known as tubercul1n, ana
watching it's effects. If certain symp-
toms follow, notably high fever, it is
assumed that the animal is diseased and
it is forthwith killed, the owner being
paid considerably less than what the
market value of the animal if healthy,
would haye.been. The farmers complain
OF rather some of them do, that the test
is humbug, that frequently symp-
toms supposed to indicate disease follow
when as matter of fact NO disease is
present, and that as a result they are
robbed by the state. Scientific men on
the contrary hold that the tuberculln
test is almost infallible, that it is
exceedingly valuable because it detects
the disease long before the ordinary
symptoms show themselves and that its
use protects the community against dis
eased meat and milk. 1t would seem
that experience would soon show
whether the farmers Or the scientists are
right, and that the former could afford
to wait awhile before undertaking to
prevent the use of the tuberculin test.
If it be humbug it can't be long GER
tainly before its wortblessness is demon.

RUST VERDICT.

The verdict Of guilty in The case
of the state VS.. John Welter was.
fully warranted by the evidence,
and the murderous wretch will
spend the balance Of his days In
state prison. Although the evi.
dence was necessarily all circum-
stantial, as there was no witness
present, the chain Of events were
so closely connected, that together
they convinced the jury that Wei
ter committed the crime. The:
facts were shown that Welter was
the last man seen with Kosanke
on the evening Of Dec. 1; that soon
after they were seen together We'll
ter was about the saloons of the
city spending peculiar money that
had been saved by Kosanke; Wei
ter spent more money than he
could account for, even accepting
his claim that Kosanke gave him
the coins; he offered for sale in
two disreputable resorts Kosanke's
watch; blood was found on his
clothing and under his finger nails;
he knew that Kosanke expected a
considerable sum of money that
day. Those facts were all shown
and convinced the jury that he was
guilty.
Juries do not like to hang men
on circumstantial evidence, and
their recommendation Of mercy
had the effect Of securing COM
mutation of the sentence to life
imprisonment. The Judge so SEN
fenced him, and the verdict and
sentence meet public approval.
The case was ably tried on both
sides, County Attorney Lyon pre-:
senting the states evidence so as
to closely link ali the parts
of the many circumstances into
a chain of proof that left no rea-
sonable doubt Of the truth Of the
charge against the prisoner. His
plea was an able one, and his con-
duct of the case reflects great
credit upon him.
I'm J. H. Rhodes and D. F. Cal:
houn the prisoner had as able
counsel as ever appeared before
this. court, tut no efforts could
break down the effect Of the con-
vincing evidence against heir
client. Mr.. Rhodes never made a
better plea than was the one in
which he presented his side Of the
case to the jury, but his case was
lost because the evidence as 4
whole would not sustain his claims

therefore enlarged it to 10 page

good general news reports, large

will certainly be gratifying to

will add to the previous excellent

will now be as superior in the gen.
