DIR. GODDARD's TRIAL.
A Case Similar to the Schlegel One
Comes Up at Kansas City.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 26.-Dr. Jeffer-
son D. Goddard has been placed on trial
here for the murder of Frederick j.
jackson at the Woodland hotel on the
night of April 2 last. Mrs. Jackson had
previously been arrested for completely
in the crime, but the subsequent grand
jury failed to indict her and she was re-
leased.
DR.. Goddard managed a drug store
owned by Mrs. Jackson, who also was
proprietress of an extensive laundry busi-
ness. Jackson called on his wife on the
evening of the murder at her private
apartments to persuade her from spend
ing more money on Goddard He met
Goddard there and the two quarreled.
Jackson drew a revolver but his daugh-
ter disarmed him, and two hours later,
while Jackson was unarmed, Goddard shot
and killed him. Mrs. Jackson's lawyer
is one of the attorneys for the defense.
and since Goddards arrest she and her
two daughters have sided with him. Com
ing as it does on the heels of the sensa-
tionaI trial of John Schlegel for the muir
der of DR.. Berger, the Goddard case is
attracting great attention. In both
cases the doctors were charged with

IN NICARAGUA'S PRISON.
An American Citizen Inoarcerated
Without a Trial.

Managua, Nicaragua, Oct. 26.-John Au-
gustine, an American citizen. was arrest
ed at San Carlos, at the mouth of the
San Juan river, on September "a, by or
der of President zelaya's brother, and
without any pretense of a trial was i'm
prtsoned in the penitentiary. He former
ly was United States consul at BIueffelds
and is at present in charge of the navi-
cation company's steamers on the San
Juan river.
About October 3 Mr.. Augustine succeed
ed in sending word of his imprisonment
to the United States consul at Managua
who, it is claimed, informed the prisoner
that he could do nothing for him, citing
it is alleged, the instance of two tramps
from the United States who had been ar
rested several months ago for cause and
who were shipped out of the country.
However, about October the fact of
Mr.. Augustines Imprisonment became
known to United States Minister Baker,
who wrote to President Zelaya with the
result that the prisoner was allowed to
leave the penitentiary on parole, with or
ders not to leave the city of Managua.
The facts in the case seem to be that
the government of Nicaragua, several
days previous to the arrest of Mr.. Angus
tine, had forcibly taken possession of the
steamers of the navigation company and
was running them to suit itself. On Sep
tember % Mr.. Augustine was ordered by
a government official to direct the move
ments of the boats, apparently for the
purpose of getting the company to feed
and pay the offers and men on board.
This he refused to do unless the boats
were turned over to the company, and he
received orders from the latter to COM
ply with the governments demands. IN
der these circumstances, Mr.. Augustine
cd he n
commanding at Fort San Carlos to tele-
graph to the company for instructions.
But, instead, it is asserted, this officer
telegraphed something to his superior Of
fcer, which caused the order for the ar
rest of Mr.. Augustine to be issued,
whether he is a citizen of the United
States or not"

Raleigh, N. c.. Oct. 26.-The peniten-

SHE PLOTTED THE MINERs.
An Old Indian Woman Takes Them to
the Lost Placer Diggings.

Victoria, B. C.. Oct. 26.-Nine years ago
two pioneer miners, Gid Hathaway and
John Robinson, started from Germanson
creek, in Omineca district to prospect the
national lake and river country The
next year their skeletons were found side
by side, they having been evidently re-
turning when overtaken by death. Heavy
shot gold was found in their clothing and
it was learned at Fort Macleod that thew
had paid coarse gold for supplies there
remarking that there was plenty more
where that came from. Where they To-
Gated the treasure remained a mystery
until this season, although several lives
have been lost in the futile endeavor to
rediscover the lost creek
Last year seven of the old timers got
together-J. J. May. Captain Black, VII
liam Kenton, John Lyons, Harry Good
ALL Hugh Grant and Ezra Evans-and
agreed that one more move should be
made. So a well equipped expedition was
last June dispatched into the Omineca
wilderness, starting from Manson creek
and piloted by an Indian woman who re-
membered Hathaway and thought she
knew the country they had been working
in. The path she selected was in the
territory of the Stikeen river, little known
to the Omineca Indians No objection was
made by them to the invasion of their
country, and the stream was eventually
reached where Hathaway and Robinson
had been working.
Abundant indications of their opera
tions were found, besides a cabin par

" of an Abandoned Railroad

New Haven. Oct. 26.-Farmers along
the line of the abandoned Meriden, Wat
erbury & Connecticut River railroad have
been victimized by a tramp under pecu-
liar circumstances. He stopped at nearly
every house along the road and told this
story:
MY employer, Judge Robertson, sent
me from his New Haven office to close
up the affairs of the railroad. As the
land through which the railroad runs re-
verts to the persons who owned it prior
to the tracks being laid, Judge Robertson
is disposing of all passenger stations,
pumping stations. tanks, railroad ties, etc.
The judge is anxious to sell off these en-
cumbrances as soon as possible, so that
the land can be titled once more in all its

WAKING THEM UP.

William Il. Curtis, the Chicago
Records Washington correspondent,
gives his paper the following informa-
lioL:
There has been consultation among
the leaders Of religious organizations in
the East within the last few weeks con-
corning the adoption of measures to re-
sist the missionary movement of the
MormoDs In this section Of the country,
and particularly in the South. II is as
serted by those who claim 10 have accur-
ate Information that there are now in the
field between $500 and 400 Mormon
missionaries, and that their propaganda
has been carried on 30 actively and sue
cessfully that there are churches of that
sect in all but nine states and territories
OF the Union. IN order to avoid obser-
walton the work Is carried ON from head
quarters in Brooklyn and Chattanooga,
instead of Salt Lake City. And II is said
that in both these cities are not only
committees OF able men directing affairs,
but printing Offices and other agencies
for missionary work. a Mormon
Church has recently been organized in
the District of Columbia. and over in
Maryland and Virginia, almost within
sight of the Capitol, are several flourish
ing missionary stations. The most ex-
Mormon missionaries arc said to be
swarming INTO Virginia, North Carolina,
Tennessee and Georgia. Formerly tho
practice OF the Church was to COLOMBO its
converts in Utah, but the old plan seems
to have been changed, and wherever its
agents drive stake they remain to cul-
tivato the ground. While polygamy is
not preached or practiced in these eastern
colonies, 1t still remains an article OF
iaithi in tho canons OF the Church.
No wonder the "leaders OF religious
organizations" are worried at such
vitality and energy on the part OF the
Motmgns in this age Of growing un.
belief aud spiritual Indifference; but
why they should feel called upon to
"Teslsl" this active missionary move
ment. 1t might puzzle the Records
correspondent to tell. 1t ought to be
interesting to his readers for him to
ascertain just what the Aforesaid "re.
ngious leaders" offer by way OF ex.
PLANTATION, also a hint as to what par.
ticular form their resistance lie going
to assume.

dence that spriugtime is here, al
though the temperature and hail indi-
Gated that winter had not got a great

which rain and hall poured down for
a time was quite characteristic OF a

kind are sufliciency in the way

Farther than this, however, the way
such storms persist In coming leads to
tho fear that there will be season OF
delayed spring work, both on the
part OF man and In nature, that Will
not be Conducive to bountiiul crops,
even In this part OF the country. A
