The beautiful star that has been
shining so splendidly for the past
two months in the western horizon
during the early evenings is the
planet Venus. 1t grows brighter
with its ascent. 1t is said that Ve-
aus never shines in the western no.
rlzon more than three hours after
sunset o appears in the eastern
horizon more than three hours before
sunrise. Any star or planet, no
matter how brilliant, which sets lat
er or rises earlier cannot be Venus.
1t will be evening star until July
9th, and from hat time until the end
of the year will be morning star.

would pay the bills.
They said they would take her to his
house and the physician started on
ahead. The men placed the girl again in
the buggy and started away with her.

Drape at the State Hospital for the In
sane on July 3lst did not draw much Of a
crowd to- the County Court House.
Just before the noon recess the state
rested its case In chief.
IL is a bold line OF defence that counsel
for Mclaughlin have chosen. Mr..
Cushing in opening TO the jury said the
defence would show that Elwell l.. Low
ell and not Mclaughlin was responsible
for the death OF Drape.
Lowell is the nurse who was with Drape
before Mclaughlin on the morning of
the tragedy He is also the one whose
testimony has been most damaging TO
Mclaughlin.
IL is admitted by the state and all con-

expressions Of genuine Subtraction be-
cause Col. Goff has announced that he is
ready to accept nomination, If IL is the

That Col. GpT, II nominated will poll

Republican. and is and always has been
a sound money man, thereby being I'm
