The Dearness of Butter.

One of the most eminent authorities on
consumption, DR.. Hughes Bennett. of
London, made the remark that The main
causes of consumption are the dearness
of butter and the abundance of pastry
cooks" It is evident from this that the
doctor believed that the poor and under
fed are unable to obtain sufficient fat,
while the digestion of the wealthy class
is upset by their rich pastries SO that they
do not assimilate the proper amount of
We must have fat in some form cheap
enough for the poor and easy enough for
the enfeebled digestion of the rich. Cod
liver oil in its crude condition is both too
difficult. and too unpleasant for any one
but in the form of Scott's Emulsion. as
manufactured by Scott & Bovine. it is
not only easy to digest and pleasant to
take. but acts as a medicine in purifying
the blood, as well as the very best kind
of fat forming food.

THE STREET CARS.
Location of Power Plant Not Yet
Determined.

There has been considerable gossip
heard on the street during the past
few days concerning the new street
railway. Mr.. Winter was seen yester-
day concerning some of the reports
in circulation and in reply to the
question ''have the barns and power
houses been located YETI" he replied
that they had not. "It is not likely
said Mr.. Winter THAT the houses will
be located on the property now owned
by the company on High avenue for
obvious reasons. 1t is more probable
that we will have the barns and the
power light and heat plant near one
of the railroads on account of the
easier conveyipgo of fuel. We cannot
have the plant nearer than five blocks
of the square on account of an article
of the ordinance which states that
our freight cars cannot come nearer
the square than Eve blocks. There
has been nothing done yet concern
ing the location of the plant and the
barns and there will not be for some
time. Mr.. Peatman and myself will
go east in January and until that
time there will be little or nothing
DONE"

neys in the ease on both sides had
made the most effective and eloquent
pleas ever heard in Keokuk county.
Byron Preston, ex-county attorney
Of Mahaska county, in his closing ar
gument spoke from $3.50 until 8

his earnest appeal to the jury for a
verdict for the state with a bewilder-
ed expression. She breathedi a long
sigh of relief when he finished. He
denounced the defense as an after
thought only-said it was the last
hope and they were driven to. it-and
that there was no evidence to show
that Charles Kuhn was insane and
that he committed suicide and at
tempted to murder his wife.
They remained out until this morn
ing, when they announced that they
we're ready to report. At s o'clock
the Judge and attorneys were pres
emit and the verdict, at above stated,
was read.
The crime for which Mrs. Kuhn is
now sentenced to life imprisonment
ocsurred between. Delta and What
Cheer early in September. While
she and her husband, Charles Kuhn,
were driving home from What Cheer
he drank beer containing strychnine,
frOm the effects of which he died in
q few hours. Before his death he
accused his wife of placing the pois-
on in the beer and the evidence con-
viReed the jury that she vas guilty.
