studied and learned In order to take
the best advantage of an emergency
like drouth Of the present kind,
aud II cannot be denied that tho
experiment stations and agricultural
colleges arc doing good work along
those lines. Our farmers should avail
themselves Of the assistance they
afford. Agriculture involves as
much science 40 any other trade or
profession In which mankind can
engage, and one cannot acquire too
much knowledge OF tho principles
involved In successfully tilling the
soil.
Now to return to tho main lues-
ton, there Is no doubt that the situ.
alton Is represented to be much
worse than II really Is. A few dis
couragcd people may possibly leave
the country; but others moro far
sighted and thoughtful will take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to buy
land at q lower price than at any
other time. Land values will nstur-
ally slightly deproclate temporarily
under present circumstances. But
there can DO no doubt 40 to the final
outcome. Tancy county Is now OH
the verge Of most successful improve

OF number of substantial people
who will move here this fall to mako
this county their homo. There arc
also prospects that tho mineral re-
sources of Tancy will soon begin to
be developed TO a greater extent
than ever before; and VIC arc safo In
saying that there will soon be =
greater impetus than ever In all
branches Of Taney county industry,
including farming, mining, stock
raising and fruit raising.

TANEY TAXES NO BACK SEAT
When II Comes to Q Question Of Sur,i,.
Ing o Drouth or Similar Natural
Calamity.

10 every one OF us, this Is q peril
nent question:: "Whst will be the
effect OF the drouth on Taney coun-
TYP No Que doubts that 1t will re-
suit In serious loss TO many of our
citizens and its effects will be felt to
como extent by all; but in this re-
spect Tancy county fares no worse
than adjoining counties or even COM
munities in other states. We have
heard statements from eye.witncsscs
who have recently Travelled through
the country north, west and south Of
Us and they agree in saying that the
effects Of tho drouth are more appar-
cnt In other places than IN Tancy
county. Some of the Springfield
papers have recently published wall
ing articles about the drouih aud
even 20 SO far us to represent the
situation as being worse In TAney
county than elsewhere. They would
have their readers believe that the
country here is one vast cindcr.
They say:
"Thc covere' S'!go from Tancv
county continue to pass through the
city, conveying the drouth refugees
out Of the country. Many of these
people have no particular destina-
ton in mind. They are hunting
green corn fields aud will stop whcr-
ever stock feed and breadstuil can
bc found"
Even admitting the above TO be
true, 1t shows that there are a few
people in every locality who are
liable to become panicky and act on
the impulse Of the moment, without
thinking what will be the final out
come. Ten chances to one those
same refugees, after travelling sewers al
hundred miles, will find themselves
In u worse country than tho one they
left, and they will be In worse cir
culnstanccs than when they started
Oh their journey. Those people who
depend almost entirely on Provi-
dence to bring them u meagcr living
and have such poor skill in tilling
the soil, that the first intimatiOn of n
drouth Is fatal to their success, are
not u serious loss to any community
aud their places will be taken by
those who have the intelligence and
enterprise TO make the soil bring
forth at least the means for scanty
subsistence, even in a drOuth like
this. Al the present time there arc
fields of growing corn IN Tancy coun.
~ that will produce good yield
through the help of tho recent
showers, and some portions would
have made corn, even II there had
not been another drop of rain this

Unions Will Spend Money to Find the
Bill Thief.
BY Associated Press:
Denver, June 19.-Conferences of
labor haders are being held in this
city to investigate the reported; theft
from tie official files of what is known
as the employers liability bill," pass
ed by the last legislature in the inter-
est of wage earners.
"If it is true that the record of the
passage of the employers liability
law has been stolen from the Official
journal of the senate and it cannot
be recovered, the law is invalid. There
are decisions in our courts that cover
practically similar cases."
That is the statement made by Lieu-
tenant-Governor Coates of Colorado.
Il do not yet know officially that
the portion of the bill has been stolen.
but l shall investigate. If the bill,
or a portion of it, has been stolen it
has been done deliberately and with
the sole intent of invalidating the law.
When the bill was pending it was bit
terly fought. Every effort was made
to defeat it. The duplicate copies will
do us no good. The courts will accept
only the original.
II do not suspect any person or per-
sons in this work. do not know
whether the part of the record alleg-
ed to be missing disappeared after it
was given to the secretary of state or
before. l am, however, inclined to be-
lieve that the portion was stolen be-
fore it reached the secretary of state.
This theft comes as stunning
blow to the working people of Colora-
do. It was the one law that the work
ing people wanted passed and the one
for which the friends of labor made
their hardest fight. Four years ago a
portion of the record of the passage
of the scrip bill was stolen and that
bill was invalidated.
At conference held in the offices of
the State Federation of Labor Presi-
dent Garman declared that If the bill
is declared to be void by reason of
the theft, organized labor in the state
would expend hundreds of dollars in
finding and convicting the guilty per.
sons.

Again Comes Up. PIeadings to Save

BY Associated Press:
Buffalo, June 19.-The second plea
for the life of Roland B. Molineaux
claimed by the law for the mysterious
murder by mailed poison of Mrs. Kath-
crime J. Adams in New York in De-
cember, 1898, began before the court
of appeals. Chief Judge Parker and
Associate Judges Vann, Bartlett, Gray,
O'Brien, Haight and Werner will de.
eide the appeal and the respective ar
guments are in the hands Of specially
retained counsel. John G. Milburn
represents the defendant and former
United States Senator David B. Hill
speaks for the people.
The printed record of the case is the
largest ever submitted in the state in
a criminal case and upon it's consider
alton during the interim between now
and the fall session of the court rests
the decision. The oral argument sub
mitting the briefs will be concluded
by tomorrow afternoon. The officers
of the court, fearing the annoyance
of a large crowd, locked the outer
doors of the supreme court room and
admitted the privileged few by pri-
vate entrance. General Molineaux.
the aged father of the defendant. and
David l. Carvalho, the handwriting ex-
pert, were present.
Judge Parker asked counsel il an
extension beyond the two hours usu.
ally allotted to an argument was de-
sired. Mr.. Milburn said he would prob
ably require four hours. Mr.. Hill nod.
ded his approval and so it was agreed
that each side should have four hours.
Mr.. Milburn began his adress for
the defendant with a brief statement
of the charge and nature of the ap-
peal, following it with what he called
sketch of the chief personnel in the
case. He sketched the training of
young Molineaux as an expert paint
| and color manufacturer and In turn
told of his connection with the Knick-
erbocker and New York athletic clubs:
his marriage to Blanche Cheesebor-
ough and his relations with Harry
Cornish, manager of the Knickerbock-
er Athletic club.
Mr.. Milburn passed ON to the re-
ceipt Of bottle purporting to contain
medicine and Mrs. Adams death after
taking dose Of the supposed ffiedi-
cine, and contended that the pr0sectt.
ton had failed to connect the accused
with the sending Of the bottle through
the mails.
