Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place and
indispenable in the kitchen and for cooking
and washing purposes, but 1t was never in
tended for a medicine, and people who use 1t
as such will some day regret it.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, a habit
which thousands Of people practice almost
daily and one which is fraught with danger;
moreover the soda only gives temporary relief
and in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse
The soda acts as a mechanical irritlnt to
the walls of the stomach and bowels, and

SENSATIONAL CASE TRIED At yonK.
Lee Given Hearing on n Serious



YORK, Neb.. Dec -(Special)-The Lee
trial is on and the district court room is
the Mecca of York people. The case opened
yesterday, when the first public statement
was made by Lee in answering mot guilty"
TO the charge of assaulting Aaron Biosel
with the intent to kill him for the sake OF
realizing on a $4,000 insurance policy on
Bissell'5 life, held by Lee.
The prominence of the accused and the
sensational plot in connection with the
charge promise to make an extremely in
teresting case, one which may also prove
decidedly sensational. W. l.. Lee il alleged
to have made two separate attempts on
Bissells life, one by hurting a rock at him
from ambush, when Bis9sll was going home,
the other by plotting to ditch the Burlington
flyer for the sake of killing Bissell who
was passenger on that train. The first
attempt is the one with which Lee is form
ally charged.
Great trouble has been experienced in get
ting jury, but at a late hour this morn
ing twelve men were secured. The remain
der of the morning wa9 devoted to pre-
lminaries.
Mr. Harlan, the main prosecuting attorney.
made a motion to introduce two more wit
nesses for the prosecution. After a lengthy
legal wrangle the judge granted the motion.
From the statement OF the case to tdc jury
by the defense, it is inferred that an attempt
VIII be made to prove an alabi by Lees at
torneyo
a. Bissell wao the first witness placed on
the stand by the prosecution this afternoon.
He told of the attempt made upon his life
upon the night of September Is, when the
rock was hurled at him from ambush In
stead OF striking him in the head, as evil
IDENTIFY was intended. the stone struck his
arm and no injury beyond a bruise was done.
N. NJ. George was placed upon the stand.
George is the insurance agent who wrote the
policies for Lee. He says Lee held three, one
on his own life and one upon Bia5ell's and
on Forrest Smith, a young man in his en-
ploy. George says that in a conversation
with Lea the latter asked him If the policy
would be paid should the insured person be
killed by being waylaid.
Messplay was next called. He is the prin-
cipal witness and the one who was implicated
in the alleged plot to wreck the train. Mess
play tells that Lee offered him $1,000 to help
do the job, and that he also told him Of

Horticultural society opened today and viii
continue three days. There are about $50
leading horticultursts present, representing
Iowa and neighboring states. The most
important matter taken up was the inau-
guration of a movement to secure co-opera-
tion of other western fruit raisers with
those of Iowa in efforts to secure a better
market for western fruits. 1t was shown
that crops of fruits have been so large that
the home market will not absorb them
prohtaby, and the proposal is to nave
agents go abroad and secure for the west
ern part OF the patronage which European
countries have given to fruit growers OF
the eastern states for a number of years
Reports from all over the state indicated

years to fruit trees and bushes in the state

the past season was the largest ever raised,

TENDERNESS

Not unto every heart is Gods good gift
Of simple tenderness allowed: we meet
With love in many fashions when we lift
First to our lfe's waters, bitter-sweet.
Love comes upon us with resistless power
OF curbless passion, and with head
strong will:
shower,
Or calmly flows, a rapid stream. and
still
1t comes with the blessedness unto the
heart
That welcomes it Alright, or-bitter
fate!--
1t wrings the bosom with so fierce a
smart
And then. ah mel When love has ceased
to bless,
Our broken hearts cry out for tenderness.
We long for tenderness like that which
hung
About US, lying on our mothers breast:
A selfish feeling. that no pen or tongue
Can praise Alright, since silence sings
its best;
A love, as far removed from passions s
heat
AS from the chiliness of it's dying fire;
A love to lean on when the failing feet
Begin to totter. and the eyes to tire.
In youths bright heydey hottest love we
seek,
The reddest rose we grasp-but when it
dies,
God grant that later blossoms. violets

What the Country Needs,

The falling off in rural population, as
shown in the last census, is mostly
within the first half of the decade.
There has long been tendency from
the farm to the cities, but it is at last
checked, and we believe that the popu-
lation of country towns Is now smaller
than 1t is ever likely to be again. All
that is needed is to secure better roads,
thus connecting these rural towns with
their neighboring cities and with the
world at large. There is already the
beginning of a movement of the
wealthy toward the country. With bet
ter means of communication between
town and city, this movement will be
sure to increase and give to farm lands
in Massa chusetts greater value than
they have had for many years.

MINNESOTA MOUND BUILDERS.

Evidences of Their Work In the Valley
of the Zumbro River.
On the north side Of the Zumbro val
hundreds of mounds built by the
mound builders in prehistoric ages.
Some are in perfect condition, while
others are partially or entirely destroy
ed. They extend from the point of
terrace formation or beach back over a
half mile toward the west, and from
the south side of the terrace toward
the north nearly the same distance,
forming a sort of circle. This ter
race seems to have been at one time
the bank Of the river.
The largest mounds are along the
brow of the terrace and on the out
skirts Of the village or group of
mounds. Back Of the group Of large
mounds is one which is of the usual
round shape, but having curved arm
or wing on either side, suggesting the
form of bird. Next back of these
runs long embankment broken at In
tervals, formerly three or four feet
high, but now partially destroyed. This
is now covered by grove of oak. Scat
tered on the concave side Of the circle
Of mounds, especially near the point
of the terrace, are hundreds of smaller
mounds arranged more or less regu-
larly and thirty to fifty feet apart A
large part of the site Is now occupied
by growing crops and the smaller
mounds have nearly all been leveled
by cultivation. Many are of entirely
different material from the soil around
them. The soil Of the terrace is very
sandy loan, while many Of the mounds
are made of stiff clay which is not
found in the neighborhood.
The original use Of these mounds
was probably for dwellings. This the
ory is advanced by the fact that not
long ago, while excavating a mound
for the cellar of the store Of Dunfries,
charred limestone was found six feet
below the surface, evidently the re-
mains Of fireplace. and suggesting the
theory that these were partly subterra-
mean dwellings and the comparatively
small size of the remains above ground
strengthens the conclusion.-Minne-
