The testimony given by Julia Hor-

Stewart, as a climax to other testi-
mOny introduced. carefully leading up
to a point where these things should
be presented TO the jury on Friday,
was sensational to a degree. 1t showed

Miss Stewart recited the story as given
her by the defendant without a falter,
choosing her words with care, and ut
taring them with the precision of a
trained elocutionist. The testimony
Of the witnesses for the defense was all
in support of the theory of insanity.

The OSKALOOSA HERALD was ore
of the earliest and best educators in
Mahaska county for upon the found
alton laid by it's teachings have been
builded the superstructures of much
of the best man and womanhood of
the county.

Phillips in the Semi Centennial mum
Der that she had taught her children
the alphabet from the copies of THE
HERALD pasted against the wall of
the log cabin of he pioneer days
Mr.. Hays states that if Mrs. Phillips
would say that it was her second
born that first learned his a B C's
from THE HERALD he would divide
honors with her in that matter for
he taught his son Summer Hays his
alphabet from the selfsame paper in
those days of long ago.
There were others who received
the ground work of their education
from the current issues of THE HER.
AID but we have not yet heard of
any who can ante date tho teachings
