Canton, O.. April THE jury which
is 10 decide the fate of Mrs. Annie T..
George. accused of the murder of Geo.
ID. Saxton, was completed at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon, and before
court adjourned Prosecuting Attorney
Pomerene had stated to the twelve
men who had qualified an outline OF
what he expects The witnesses for the
State TO prove.
Briefly summarized. this is that on
the evening of the tragedy and Short
ly before it occurred, Saxton rode TO
the Althouse house on bicycle, and
Mrs. George about the same time went
to point near there ON a street car.
The assassin, and he says this will be
proven to be Mrs. George. fired two
shots and walked away; there was a
cry as if for help. She returned and
fired two more shots. then leaned over
the PROSTATE body. found him dying
and disappeared in the darkness He
claims Mrs. Georges fingers were
blackened with burned powder when
arrested, and that she had not onixj
threatened to kill Saxton but had long
planned how to do it. and that she had
outlined her plans to another party.
He also says that he cares not what
relations are shown to have existed be-'
tween the two, that they were not suehl
as to have justified tho crime on the
evening of October 6, 1896. In connec-)
ton with these relations. he referredl
TO the accused as an adventures. pure
and simple. j
Mr.. Welty intimated that the state
ment for the defense would be some-
what lengthy, and 1t was deferred un-
til morning.

The Indian corn propaganda at the
Paris exposition and the conventions
recently held in the west in the inter-
est of corn producers have brought out
the fact that over twenty important
products are now manufactured from
corn. One of the most important
products is distilled spirits, the de-
mand for which has increased greatly
since the invention of smokeless pow
der, in the manufacture of which the
spirits are largely used. Among the
other products made from corn are:
Mixing glucose, crystal glucose, grape
sugar, anhydrous grape sugar, special
sugar, pearl starch, powdered starch.
refined grits, flourine dextrine, British
gum, graduated gum, gum paste, corn
oil, corn-oil cake, rubber substitute,
gluten feed. chop feed, gluten meal and
corn germ. With the present cconom-
ical methods of manufacture not a par
ticle Of the corn is wasted. There is
no refuse.-California Vineyardist.

Is not lack of energy or exercise that has

1t is neglect of the stomach.

MEK{uEN ADVANCE
BOERS BLOCK THE ADVANCE OF
BRITISH FORCES TO KIM
BERLEY.
Methuen's Army Halted on One Side of
Modder River Awaiting Reinforce
ments, While on the Other Side
the Beers Are Lined Up-Intense
Anxiety in London.

London, Dec. 1.-Such indications as
have come through respecting the bat
tie of Moddcr river have increased the
anxiety of the public for a full list OF
casualties and a detailed account of
the action which Lord Methuen des-
cribed as "one of the hardest in the an
nails of the British army"
Fragmentary and incomplete as it is
at present the list of killed and wound
ed, it is feared, may be the most appal-
ling of the war. One colonel, North
colt. of Lord Methuen's staff, and one
lieutenant colonel, Stopford. of the
Coldstream guards were killed, while
among the wounded were Major Count
Gleichen, Lieutenant VisCOunt Ache
son, a son of the Earl of Gosford, Lieu
tenant E. II. Lyon, the brother of the
Earl Of Beauchamp and that noble
mans heir presumptive. General Me-
thuen himself received a slight wound
in the thigh. OF the casualties among
rank and file no, word is forthcoming.
There is no news Of a further ad-
vance of Methuen's column. It is
thought that he has halted for a day
to bring up fresh ammunition and re-
Inducements. AS soon as they arrive
he may be trusted to continue his in
domitable advance in spite of the
wound he has received. In the mean
time the enemy may have been able
to bring up fresh commands and very
possibly another obstinate battle will
have to be fought before Kimberley is
reached.
Before Methuen's advance can be
continued it is clear that the Modder
river will have to be bridged. To re-
pair the railway will be difficult with
the resources at Lord Methuen's com
mand, and the passing troops across
pontoon bridges will necessarily be a
matter of time.
Military experts say that more men
are clearly needed in all directions.
General Methuen's column is still very
weak.
In Natal General Clery's relief force
is o considered any too large, while
Generals French and Gatacre have on
ly small detachments with which to
operate in a most difficult country. A
fifth division is urgently needed and a
sixth may have to follow.
Lord Wolseley announced last night
that the war office had come to a de-
cision to call out another division Of
10000 men of all arms for South Afri-
ca. This is the seventh division mo-
bilized since the beginning of the war.
Ladysmith was all right on Saturday
last and the British relief force is now
concentrated at Frere. The Beers are
in full retreat toward Colenso.
A great Boer stand will undoubtedly
be made at the Tugela river and a bat
tie may be expected at any moment.
The British force which is available
is about $4,000 men and the Beers
might put 10000 men in line. Mafe-
king was safe on Friday last.
