KILLER COUNTY RETURNS.

Better late than never" is d
quotation that is ever ringing in
our ears when We start out after
an item that takes ten or more dly>
TO chase it down.
The late presidential and con-
gressional election in this county
passed of just 10 days or more, ag,
the 3rd, and yesterday was the first
time we even laid eyes on the re-
turns. This was caused by the fact
that it took three commissioners,
L. A. Byrne, j. N. Crenshaw and
Ben Foreman to be present to
count the votes, and one of the
commissioners being out of town
on business, caused a delay in the
count.
We have secured the official count
at last, and now give it publicity as
a matter of public record, and not
as an item of news:

no election was held there. This
box votes 80 or a 100, and the fran

Some 200 votes were thrown
out on account of being impro-
perly scratched l,779 votes were
counted and the 200 votes thrown
out makes a total of 1879. Dillard

county election added together
makes 1870 votes, and the late

The Cuban insurrectionists are de.
termlned that the planter shall not
grind his sugar cane while the war il
on, and if he attempts to do it his
plantation is to be burned. The idea
is to paralyze trade, show the power
they WELD, and perhaps secure the
Intervention of a strong power, Under
any circumstances it means ruin to
most of the planters, whose crops are
now ripe for cutting and very conf
bustible.
But the interesting part is the meth
cd the Cubans are said to have adopt.
ed, which is distinctly novel. A small
piece of phosphorus coated with wax
Is fastened to u snakes tail, and the
creature let loose to make lis way
among he cane. The sun melts the
wax and ignites the phosphorus, and
the business is done. Military protec-
ton or other efforts are claimed to be
unavailing in the face of such for
midable foe.-Popular Science News.

ofCaptain Cox on a scoW from West
Florence to Acme, distance Of three
miles. The house was moved about
500 yards down an abrupt incline and
successfully placed on the scow on Sat
urday evening previous, and on Mon-
day morning, the tide being high
enough to float it, the steamer Lillian
towed scow and house to Acme.

John W. Coots, attorney.at-law, In o
letter dated at Platte City, Missouri,
March I, and addressed to Secretary
Of State Kincaid at Salem, Or, says:
zone Thomas Jones, late Of Platte
county, Missouri, died at this place
about five years ago, aged lOi years,
and left several hundred dollars for his
son, William s. J mes, in his last will
William s. Jones was here about ten
years ago, but returned to Oregon,
where he had been residing for many
years. He has not been heard from
since his return TO Oregon, and there
has been no one to claim the money.
1t is still safe and will be paid to him
or his children, If he left any, upon
proof Of his o. their i'd nifty. All the
required legal publications have been
made in vain; but as such publications
are usually nude in papers OF local cir
culation, they were not calculated to
reach him or his heirs In Oregon.
Thomas Jones was q soldier and u peu-
sioner of the war Of 1919. If you will
kindly give this matter to the press of

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Attempted Murder.

At an early hour Sunday morning
John Peninger made murderous as
sault upon James G.. Elliott, at the
front entrance of the hotel in Central
Point Jackson county,. A dance had
been In progress during the night in
the hall al the hotel and had Just
broken up and the participants were
in the act of leaving the building and
when young Elliott, who had just
come down stairs, started to go out of
the door, Peninger put his left hand
on Elliott's shoulder and without
word Of warning plunged dagger in
to his breast. There were several per-
SONS standing near, among whom was
the town marshal, und as soon as he
realized what had taken place he ar
rested Peninger, but in doing so was
obliged to call for assistance, as PEN
inger's friends soon gathered around
him and had not assistance. arrived
the arrest would have been prevented.
As it was, Barton Patrick, who the
marshal claimed Was the leader pre-
venting him from arresting Peninger,
was arrested as all accessory to the
crime.
The knife used by Peninger was a
two-edged dagger with three and
one-half inch blade and it entered the
breast at the juncture of the sixth rib,
and must have ranged downward. AS
soon as possible DR.. Patterson was
called and rendered medical aid, and
by daylight the patient was consider
ably improved, and has gained rapidly
since and is now out of all danger.
, Peninger was arranged before Jus.
tice Jacobs and waived examination
and was held without bail to await the
action Of the grand jury. Patrick also
appeared before Justice Jacobs and had
his hearing postponed until Monday,
at which time he was discharged by
motion of Deputy Prosecuting Attor-
ney A. N. Soliss. VIM. NJ. Colvig APP
peared as Patrick's attorney,
1t was rumored that the crime was
carefully planned, and that s. P. Con-
roy, travelling salesman, had heard
the plans laid, but when placed On the
stand could not identify the prisoners,
and his testimony was not admitted.
Elliott came to this valley about two
years ago from Canada, and worked
for Peninger's father, David Peninger,
until last August, when the yong
men got into dispute and Peninger
attempted to stab E lott with pocket
knife, and succeeded in cutting cash
six inches long across his abdomen.
Elliott has since worked near Toto. He
is well respected young man, twenty
years of age and has no relatives in
this country.
Peninger's plea will be insanity, He
has been subject to eplleptlc fits fol
eleven years past and this, it il
claimed has greatly affected his mind
His father has been a resident of Jack
son county since '52, and is a wei
respected citizen, and his many friends
very much regret the action of his son

SEVERAL amusing stories are told
of the slim audiences which greeted
Sir Edwin Arnold in some of our
Western cities, +. w. Box, in n
y. Commercial AdrertiSer, tells how
it remained for Omaha to give the
author of "The Light of Asia" the
SlimmcSt of all.
Sir Edwin had travelled all night
from Minneapolis 90 Omaha, and ex-
pected great things of the people of
the latter city. He had been greeted
by respectable-sized audience in
Minneapolis, but in some way or
other the famous author had pictured
Omaha to himself rs an enormous
metropolis whose citizens would
flock to hear him.
Upon reaching the hotel early in
the morning, Sir Edwin said to the
manager when he called upon him:
"l suppose We'll do well here,
won't we?"
Well, don't know" said the
manager, in rather creStfallen way.
" l have just been to the place where
the ticket sale has been going on for 10
days, but the rush has not been very
great"
"Oh, WE'LL" replied Sir Edwin,
encouragingly, cit can't help having
been tolerably large. How many
seats have been sold?"
Well, since you ask, Sir Edwin,
so pointedly, l will tell you; we've
sold just one seat, and the buyer is
now waiting down stairs to see you"

ICE FROM ELECTRICITY.--Ice
from electricity was one of the prom
ises recently extended by one of the
electric companies Of the United
States to a number of specially in
vited guests. Electric heating and
cooking, electric forging and electric
piano playing were all down on the
list of attractions offered, but the
making of ice in an electrical way
seem likely to be of preeminent inter
est. True, it was after all the regu-
lar matter-of- fact process, carried out
with one ofthe well-knoWn makes of
ammonia compression machines, but
the latter, instead of being driven by
a steam engine in the usual way, was
connected with an electric motor
which furnished the necessary power.
1t simply afforded another illustra-
ton OF the rapidly extending field of
electric motor applications, and GER
tainly demonstrated the making of
ice by electricity, though, perhaps,
somewhat differently than may have
been expected by those who attended
the exhibition.
