A DEAD WOMAN'S EYES:
Photography Shows an Impression of
Her Murderer on the Retina.

Her Murderer on the Retina-
JAMESTOWN, n. Y, Dec. 22.-Photo-
graphic scienc e may have given the
first tangible clue to the identity of
the murderer of Mrs. Shearman and
Mrs. Davis. Several have been the
subjects and clues folio wed up, with.
out success, but yesterday the i'm
preston of the murderer was found
on the retina of Mrs. Shearman's eye.
The photograph was taken by
Fred d. Marsh, a local photog-
rapher, and to him is due the
credit of having originated the idea
of examining the organ. The exist
ence of the impression of the muir
derer on the eye vas first discovered
by means of Il powerful microscope.
Unfortunately the features of the.
man could not be seen, as the view
obtained shows only the back and a
very little of the side. An apparently
big man is presented, with bushy
whiskers and wearing a long over
coat. The trousers appear to be
badly wrinkled. The coroner has
taken out both of the eyes of the muir
dered woman and another photograph
will be taken by a skilled pho
tographer. No impression was dis
coverable on Mrs. Davis ewes

Nebraska Dairy Interests.

The first session of the tenth annual
meeting of the Nebraska Dairymen's
association convened in Lincoln on the
18th. The address of welcome was de-
livered by Chancellor James II. Can
field. The response was by Hon. d. p.
Ashburn.
In the opening of his report the sec
rotary called attention to the fact that
the passing year had witnessed the
most disastrous crop failure in the his
tory of the state, a failure so complete
in many counties that on hundreds and
thousands of well titled Nebraska farms
they did not raise a bushel of grain and
not a ton of hay. On these farms live
stock had almost ceased to have a
value, the dairy COW alone remained,
she being the only one who, in a crisis
like the present, will pay for her keep
ing and something beside.
The subject of oleo was touched Upon
and that article vigorously denounced.
1t was termed the greatest enemy of
the dairy industry. Of the SO, 1914, SCI
pounds of butter manufactured in this
state in 1891, 27,S1S,07 or 50 per cent
were made on the farms. These farm
er dairymen are met in greater num-
:bers at farmers institutes than at any
other meetings of like nature, and
there was no question that much good
had been done the dairy industry in
this state in localities where such in
stitutes had been held.
Right, justice and a due regard for
the health of the people demanded GER
tain legislation at the hands of the in
coming members of the state legisla-
ture. Nebraska has no law relating to
the sale of impure or adulterated milk
worthy the name. Omaha has attemp-
ted by municipal regulation to prevent
the sale of impure milk, but a visit to
the office of the official charged with
the enforcement of the ordinance
showed that over so per cent of the
samples were from milk which had
been adulterated either by a removal
of a portion of the butter fat or by the
addition of water. The receipts of the
association for the year had been ST.
3S5. 90; expenditures, $1,517.41, leaving
a balance of S7O7. CO.
The attendance this year is the larg-
est in the history of the association.
