GEORGETOWN, KY, Oct. 1.-THE
defense In the Youtsey trial closed It's
case late this afternoon and the COM
monwealth began Its rebuttnl test-
mony, which will likely be concluded at
noon tomorrow.
Youtsay's condition was materially
Improved to-day, though he still re-
mains in q stupor most OF the time.
The fcature OF the day was the tts-
tlmony OF Colonel Nelson. one OF Yout-
sey's attorneys. who denied that he had
told Arthur Goebel and Colonel Camp
hell that "Youtsey knew enough to
hang Governor Taylor" but he admit. :.
ted that he did say his client (Youtsey)
knew something that would be very
beneficial to the commonwealth In its
prosecution OF Taylor"
The defense got in some strong tes-
timony to-day squarely contrad!ctins
the states witnesses.
George Howard testified that he wns
the same Howard who was recently
tried and convicted for the murder OF
William Goebel: that he never saw
Youtscy In his lie TO know him: never
had any talk at any time with him. nor
did he accompany him to any place or
room anywhere ut any time: that he
was not In Caleb Powers office on
the morning OF January 30. or In any
other room In that building OH that
morning.

q Splendid Audience. Y
Special Dispatch 10 the Intelligcncor.
NEW CUMBERLAND. W. Va, Oct
l7.-Last night Will be one long remem-
bered in New Cumberland. Judge Ro-
meo H. Freer. was here and addressed a
splendid audience, composed OF the very
best people in the town and county, The
court house was filled until standing
room was at a premium and the corrl-
dor was filled out to the stairs.
In fact the crowd was only measured
by the capacity OF the court house.
Judge John A. Campbell was chair
man and made some hapy hits In intro
ducing the speaker. A. W. Brown, Of
the Independent, was secretary.
A Perfect Ovation.
When Judge Freer was presented to
the audience a perfect ovation was CIV
en- him, and this very hearty express
sion Of good feeling put the Judge In
his best frame OF mind. He spoke for
an hour and twenty minutes with such
enthusiasm and vigor as he can when
In the right mood. He caught his au-
dience In the beginning and when he
was closing cries from every part Of the
house came for him to ''go on, go on"
His appeal to the young men to cast
their votes with the party OF progress
and his telling points along this line
were not only timely. but met with a
reception that will be responsive when
the time comes.
In fact, 1t would be impossible to find
any part of his speech that was not nc
ceptable to the audience.
Lined Up the Republicans.
Judge Freer not only made friends
here, but he lined up the Republicans
In q way that means votes for the tick
ct. His appeal to the patriotism of
the people was like an electric shock to
n magazine Of explosives. Taking the
meeting all In all, the Republicans
could not be better satisfied than they
are to-day.
Preparations are now In progress to
work up crowd for the Roosevelt
meeting at Wheeling Tomorrow Han
cock county will be represented by
big crowd.

How Eggs Are Secured.

AS rule, the greatest profit in
raising chickens comes from the eggs,
and whether our chickens are roost-
ing in q comfortable house or in q
lesfless tree, it is well for us to rec
ogniz5 truth that is very generally
overlooked, namely, that the hen that
shivers during the night is not like
ly to ley on the following day. TIVE
objections will probably be offered to
this proposition. The first will come
from those who will say that their
neighbours hens roasted in trees and
laid as many eggs as anybody's; and
the second will take the form of a
statement that hen that is ready to
lay will do so without regard to wind
or weather. 1t is not well to question
anv statement that man makes con-
corning his mothers coffee, biscuits,
butter, pies or hens.
1t is true that many generations of
hens have roasted in trees, Matched in
the weeds and brought up their broods
IL the t!e!ds, b.. the msn %hc n:der-
takes to raise chickens for profit will
find it an uphill business If he starts
in that way. 1t is generally believed
that egg formation takes place main
ly at night. Let us suppose there are
twenty fertilized cells in the egg sac
of a healthy hen. Under favorable
conditions she will probably lay
twenty eggs within twenty-five OF
thirty days, but if exposed to the
weather she may not average an egg
week. During long cold spell
some years ago kept small flock OF
hens in fairly warm house, gave
them tepid water to drink, warm food
grain, ETC., and had fresh eggs every
day. Leaving the door open for one
night would have checked heir lay
ing for an indefinite time.-Journa
OF Agriculture.
