Peter Wheeler called on US q few

apple crop, through Its very abundance,
hints to him, as II does 70 US all, of hard

murder Of Captain Nash, is now under
going what has come TO be inevitable.
trial BY the public, after the jury Is
through. There are all shades OF opin-
ion, from those Who declare that the
verdict Is a righteous one 10 those who
declare that there was not an iota OF ev-
idence against Bran, except the testi-
mony Of a crazy sailor, himself under
suspicion. Such public review of the
case il not 10 be avoided under existing
conditions. Whether IL Is Of any utility
is different question. The matter is in
the care Of the court, and We may have

which the rights Of accused persons are
guarded in this age OF the word, that
Mate Bran will not be allowed every
possible chance for his life.

Of r. NJ. Picker, Republican, as dis

Mr.. ClarksOn's business has been 50
conducted that he fixes absolute Y the
rate on every piece of property in the

gives the insured part of his com.

though the validity of That law had

was all right. he therefore refused
