tire court ROOM He has a large vo-
cabulary, and at times is very eloquent,
which along with his biting satire and
convincing manner of delivery makes
it difficult to give an adequate idea of
his speech. After an eloquent introduce
ton, he proceeded to answer very de-
cisiVely some of the arguments made
by the speakers on Monday for the de-
tense. He said there were some things
stated by Messrs. Casebier and Wood
burn which need a slight explanation.
Il fail to understand why" he said, lin
the absence of DR.. Tucker, when he is
not here to reply, that Mr.. CaSebier
should criticise him SO severely Sure
ly not for his quiet and gentlemanly
conduct on the witness stand, nor from
the scholarly way in which he gave
his testimony. Then, if neither of these
is the reason. there must be a personal
grudge as the cause, and I can prove
that the reason is that Mr.. Casebier
must have had a personal grievance"
Mr.. Schaeffer asked the gentlemen
of the jury to give Jackson county
credit for some judgment in the mat
ter, saying that when the body of Mrs.
Klusmire, not IN a coffin nor even prop
erly clothed, was found in ravine, the
people of the community had risen in
horror; that Jackson county had en-
ployed these two skilled physicians,
Drs. Germane and Tucker, and that
they had done merely their duty and
nothing more.
Then referring to the severe criti-
cism of Mr.. Casebier of the county at
tOrney in regard to his going out to the
farm to take the statements of the
members of the family, he said there
had been no special pressure brought
to bear upon these children, their an
SwerS being given in a quiet, natural
way, and that Mr.. Graham had done
nothing more than his duty in making
this investigation.
In scathing terms of satire he de-
nOunced Mr.. CaSebier for assuming that
because I)rS (TRFn0ann nd "a
ce1ved compensate for their services
that it was anything more than right
He said he presumed that it would be
very likely that DIR. Dean would leave
his work in Kansas City and make the
examination in HoltOn, coming down
here later as a witness, all out of pure
gratitude and love for his country
The conclusion of Mr. Schaeffer's
speech was a very forceful appeal for
the jury to consider what kind of a
man the prisoner is, saying that the
defense had repea teddy said that he
was not on trial for his conduct and
his falsehoods; that briefly a man who
would find the body of his wife still
warm, and sit calmly by until the last
spark of life was gone, then when
thoughts came to him of his possible
arrest by the possible arrest by the
StatcheS in any event. fear causes him
to throw the body in the silo, and later
this to be true" Mr.. Schaeffer asked.
would not a man so utterly devoid of
principle and feeling be capable of al
most anything
His speech concluded with an earnest
appeal to the jury to bear in mind that
careful consideration of these facts
was due from them as a duty to their
home. their country and their God.
After the conclusion of the speech
the court adjourned for noon 1t is
thought that the case will go to the
jury tomorrow afternoon.

OLD LETTER RECALLED.
President Roosevelt is Reminded
of One He Once Wrote.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 19.-The ex-
ecutive committee of the southern Cali
fornia section of the National Irriga-
ton association has formulated a tele-
gram of protest which has been sent
to President Roosevelt. The telegram
calls the presidents attention to a re-
port sent out from Washington to the
effect that he would recommend to con-
gress a line of action for the reclama
ton of the arid lands which will have
the effect of intrusting to the states,
instead of the agents of the federal
government, the systematic develop
ment of the plans for irrigation works.
The committee represents that such
policy would be a. serious error and a
deathblow to the national irrigation
movement and to an era of home build
ing on the public domain. The tele-
gram also calls the presidents attention
to his letter of November 16, 1900, to
the National Irrigation congress at Chi
cago, which it is said ''crystallized the
sentiment dominating that convention
that the reclamation of the arid lands
must be kept absolutely within the con-
troll Of the national government

PRINCESS TO BE M. d.
Sophia Banda Dhuleep Singh Enter
Chicago Medical College.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-The Princess So
phia Bamba DhuIeep Singh. daughter of
the late Maharajah Dhuleep Singh of
India, entered the Woman's Medical
college of the Northwestern university
in Lincoln street, Chicago, yesterday,
and attended her first classes as a
freshman medic She recently reached
New York from London and was there
supposed to be en- route to Undergoing
with more or less secrecy because of the
British governments reported opposi-
ton to her visiting the land of her fore
fathers.
The princess, however, says she had
no such intention. She came to Chicago
to carry out long cherished project to
become a physician. According to her
present plans. she viii remain here
four years-the length of the prescribed
course.
Because of trouble with the govern
ment Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, father
of Princess Sophia, was not wanted in
India by British authorities, and was
placed under arrest, it is said, while
voyaging back home and sent to Eng
land, where he was under espionage.
This accounts for the secrecy of the
princess movements and her failure to
visit India as was said to be her de-
sire.

WILL DO 1T FOR 100000.
Wisconsin Man Would Exterminate
Kansas Prairie DOGS.

A Wisconsin man wants the job of
discriminating all the prairie dogs in
Kansas. His name is w. d. Cornell,
and he offers to do a thorough job for
the modest sum of 500, 900 cash, and he
will let committee of Kansas people
be the judge of how thoroughly the
work is done. In a letter to Secretary
of State Clark he says:
4 will guarantee to exterminate the
prairie dogs of your state for 100000,
said sum to be paid to me in cash when
twenty-five of your reliable citizens, Sc
lected by the state, shall by majority
vote report that the pest is no longer
a menace to your agricultural inter-
ests.''
Mr.. Cornell lives at Fond du Lac, but
he does not state what experience he
has had in the slaughter of prairie dogs.
He may possibly be the Fond du Lac
official dog catcher, but if so his expe-
rience in dog catching will not do him
much good when he goes up against a
prairie dog city of million or two.

AGAINST SUNDAY PAPERS.
Rev. Charles M. Sheldon Says They
Unfit Mind For Church.

you don't give me a fair chance"
said Charles M. Sheldon to his congre-
cation last Sunday morning. you get
up in the morning, fill your minds full
of the Sunday morning newspaper and
then come here to church. You are
busy thinking of other things, and you
are not in a proper frame of mind to
hear religious teachings"
Mr.. Sheldon was speaking of the way
the average Christian spends Sunday
He made a strong argument against
some very common methods of putting
condemned reading Sunday newspa-
pers.
How can you expect to be in a good
state of mind to appreciate and enjoy
a church service when you have filed
your mind beforehand by reading the
Sunday morning paper?" queried Mr..
Sheldon. You read it for an hour, or
two hours, before coming to church,
and after church you eat a big dinner,
and read the Sunday paper for another
hour, maybe. 1t is not the kind of stuff
that should be read on Sunday. real
ize that what is wrong for one man to
do on Sunday would not be wrong for
another man. The question of how a
person shall spend Sunday depends
largely on his employment during the
week 1t might be better for some peo-
pie to simply rest all the day. But 1
am sure of one thing. That is that ev-
cry person, no matter how situated, can
do some good thing on Sunday If
nothing more. you can write an en-
courag ing letter to some person who is
in trouble. Everyone ought to make 1T
point to do at least one good deed on
Sunday

rel
Mr.. Casebeir made a very eloquent
appeal for the jury to take the story of
the defendant, giving it its full value;
he said that in every particular since
his arrest the defendant had adhered
to the same identical story. Further,
that the state made great point of the
defendants deceiving his children; of
the fact that he had told so many times
that his wife had gone to Texas; later,
that she had hung herself.
But, said Mr. Casebeir, you are not
trying this man for deceit What moved
him to do such thing?" After referring
TO the denial of St. Peter, he inquired
of the jury what might have been the
cause of this deceit
Resuming, he said: Fear 1t has
done what patriotism could never do;
it has done what bravery could never
do and it has done what love could new
er do. Thus was the cause of false
hoods from a man who has the respect
of the entire community in which he
lives and who is known by all his neigh
bors to be truthful
Mr. WOODBURY., of the firm of Crane,
Woodburn & Roke, Holton, Kan, spoke
on the side of the defense.
His remarks, while not marked by the
elOquence, pathos and oratory which
distinguished the speech of Mr.. Case
Delr, were gwen IN a 1ree easy way,
the speaker part of the time leaning
carelessly against the table around
which the lawyers were sitting
In speaking of the motive which might
have actuated the prisoner in doing
such deed he asserted that the state
had failed to prove that there was any.

M'KINLEY DEATH MASK.
A Cast Made From 1t Has Just Been
COMPLETED.

Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. 19.-After two
months a cast from the death mask of
President Mckinley, taken on the morn
ing of his death, was finished today.
The mask has been carefully guarded,
being kept in safety deposit vault
when not in the hands of Edward La
Pauch, an expert mask maker from
Hartford Conn. The mask is the prop
erty of the federal government. Next
week it will be taken to Washington
where for time it will be shown to the
public at the Smithsonian institution.
1t was the express order of the gov
eminent that no photograph of the mask
should be taken. 1t is said to be one of
the most perfect ever taken of notable
person. The mask differs from those of
Napoleon or others in that instead of
merely including the face, it portrays
actica1ly the entire head. The plaster
itself weighs tMenty-fiXe pounds.
