Fargo, N. D., Aug. 5.-The large
court room was packed this Afternoon,
fully 1000 persons attending to hear
the plea of Attorney Nye. Mr.. Hill
dreth closed his magnificent plea for
the defendant at 3 o'clock, and MI.
Nye Immediately began the closing ar
gument for the state. He compliment
ed the court and the patience shown
by the jury and then proceeded with
one of the most able arguments ever
delivered in Cass county. Ills deliv-
cry is dispassionate. deliberate and
forcible, and the telling effect is evil
dent on the jury. Court adjourned at
$50 and Mr.. Nye will complete his ar
gument in the morning, probably TAX
ing up two hours more. The case will
be submitted about noon.
Fargo, N. D., Special, Aug. 6.-The
jury in the wife murder case of Myron
II. Kent returned u verdict Of guilty,
with the death penalty, at Ills this
evening, after being out v hours.
Defendants attorney served notice Of
q motion for a new trial.
Frank NJ. Nye, for the prosecution,
concluded his argument at 3 o'clock
this afternoon, making n of the best
efforts of his life. Judge Mcconnell,
in an hours talk, gave a fair and i'm
partial charge to the jury, which re-
tired at 4:15. Judge Grosscup, of the
United States district court, Chicago,
occupied a seat on the bench with
Judge Mcconnell to-day. Grosscup is
we'll acquainted with Kent as Pan
coast, and knew his family in Ohio.
Moorhead, Mimi, Special, Aug. O.
The verdict of the jury in the Kent
s was a surprise to the community.
To those who have followed the case
and heard all the testimony, it is con-
trary to their belief, and the feeling
here is against the verdict.
Argument for Stay of Proceedings.
Fargo, N. D.. Aug. Judge McGon-
mel this afternoon heard the argu-
ments Of the defense in the Kent case
for a stay of proceedings until a copy
Of the record could be secured and the
bill Of exceptions prepared prepara-
tory to q motion for q new trial. MI
Hildreth further requested that, in
view Of the fact that the defendant
was penniless, the record be furnished
at the expense of the state. The court
reversed the ruling in both instances
until after a hearing for an arrest of
judgment, which is to be had at 2
o'clock tomorrow. It is generally con-
sidered here, in view of the ruling of
Judge Mcconnell in the Wendlund
murder case, that a reasonable stay
will he granted and the state ordered
to furnish a copy of the record. 1t is
granted a new trial his sentence WIN
be committed to life Imprisonment by
Gov. Allen.

her boys should be amused has invent
ed the following for her three restless
little ones: She had carpenter make

The Toiict Table,

The pincushion no longer reisns SUI
preme on the fashionable woman's toll
ct table In these days it occupies 4
subordinate position. 1t is small, also,
to make room for the innumerable little
odd boxes which are there in all the
glory Of dainty Dresden china gleam-
ing gold and enamel or silver. In fact,
the latest pincushions are nothing more
than n well-stuffed small square of
satin. edged with Il narrow border OF
jeweled gallOon. The top Of the cush-
ion is covered with Il square of sheer
linen. finished with band of Honiton
lace insertion. This cover Is made to
fit within the ieweled trimming of the
cushion, and when sOiled it is easily
Numbered. If the other appointments
of the toilet table are in lowered Ores
den china then a pretty idea is to have
the pincushiOn cover of linen embr0id-
cred in a small floral design matching
the china.

There are about 5000 women grad

5000 of this number are unmarried.
These latter are engaged in almost ev-
