lar Review at Betheny, France.
Paris, Sept. 23.-The car of Russia
left French soil at Pagny-Sur-Mo-
selle late Saturday night, after bid
ding farewell to President Loubet at
the station at Betheny. All those re-
sponsible for mis- safety breatned a
sigh of relief, for it has been most
anxious time. The extraordinary
vigilance exercised resulted, however,
in his stay in France from first to
last passing without the slightest
untoward incident.
The salient feature of the visit was
its military character. The car
came to see the French army, and he
has been seen himself by but lew
persons except soldiers. His gen
eral demeanor created the most IA
vorable impression among all who
came in contact with Linn. He was
in constant good humor, and evident
.ly took pleasure in showing sdt1sfac-
'tion that he was among all classes,
and that he appreciated the efforts
made to render the visit agreeable
in every way.
President Loubet did not conceal
his happiness, and he was evidently
highly gratifed at the success of the
visit.
i The car watched Saturday mill
,tary spectacle with manifest inter
est, which possibly prompted the
emphasis which he laid upon the
sword "allies' when he pronounced
it in reply to the coast at the lunch
icon. He uttered the word with
studied distinctness, and paused a
moment as if to allow the full sig
'nifcance of his statement to be
understood.
Betheny, France, Sept 2s.--The
.czar, the czarina and President
Loubet Saturday reviewed 100000
troops on the plain of Betheny. They
marched past from 1o:45 till 1920,
terminating in a magnificent charge
of 10000 cavalry. The spectacle was
very imposing, as the infantry went
by $50 file. deep, with fixed bayonets.

Banks at Shellsburs, Hardy and st. Jos
eph Successfully Dynamited.
Fort Dodge, Sept. 21.-Banll rob
bers dynamited banks at the towns
of Hardy and ST. Joe, about twenty
miles from this city. AT the former
they entered a hardware store, where
tools were taken to do the work.
They entered the back door of the
bank, ''fixed" the burglar alarm and
then blew the door from the safe.
The cashier had taken home with him
$4,000 in currency and the robbers
secured only $3.50. ST. Joe is sixteen
miles from Hardy and they drove to
that town, where they dynamited the
bank and got $1,1o0. Bloodhounds
from this city have been sent to ST.
Joe, where they will be put on the
robbers trail. The explosion at
Hardy was heard at about midnight
and the drive must have been rapid
one to ST. Joe.
Shellsburg, Sept 21.-The robbery
of the bank here was one of the bold
est on record. People were awak-
ened by the first discharge of dyna-
mite at 2:30, but no one made an in
vestigation. A second report half
hour later aroused all and a half hun
bred citizens We're on the scene in
time to see four burglars emerge
from the bank. Two held the crowd
at bay while their companions car
ried the booty. They marched to the
depot, boarded a handcar and escaped
without a shot being fired. They
abandoned their handcar at Linn
Junction and presumably hid in the
woods. They secured s2,7OO in cash.

THE CZOLGosZ TRIAL.
Plea of Insanity Abandoned-Plea
of Guilty Refused.


Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 24.-Leon f..
Czolgosz was placed ON trial yester.
day morning, charged with the muir
der of President William Mckinley.
He entered plea of guilty." which
was subsequently changed to mot
guilty" by direction of the court
All the events of the day indicated
that the trial will be short. Court
convened at 10 o'clock and within two
hours eight jurors had been secured.
Iechnicalities were not raised by
examining counsel, but it was sig
nlticant that every man who said he
had not formed an opinion on the
case was excused by the district at
torney. Those who acknowledged
that they had formed an opinion or
stated that they were prejudiced, but
admitted thar their opinion could
be changed by evidence, We're ac-
cepted by both sides.
The presentation of the govern
ment's case began shortly before 3
O'Clock, when Assistant District At
.torney Halter began with much de-
liberation to address the jury. He
spoke very briefly.
DIR. Herman Mynter's testimony
was of Importance inasmuch as it
brought out the fact that the reason
why the fatal bullet had not been
located at the autopsy was because
of the unwillingness of the presi
dents relatives to have the body
further mutilated by their instru-
ments. DR.. Mynter and DR.. Mann,
who followed him, both testified that
the primary cause of death was the
gun shot wound in the stomach. One
effect of this wound, they said, was
to cause the gangrene to form in
the pancreas, and the spot of pois-
oned tissue was as large as a silver
dollar. DR.. Harvey Gaylord testified
similarly.
Buffalo, Sept a4-The most impor.
tant development in the Czolgosz
case yesterday was the announce.
. ment that no poison had been found
on the bullets of the revolver with
which the anarchist assassinated
President Mckinley. Chemical and
ARCHAEOLOGICAL examinations were
made and both revealed the fact that
no poison was used by the murderer.

in part as follows:

"You must have great many" sug-

A National Question.

The constantly increasing enthusi-
asm in the western arid States over the
results and possibilities of irrigation
is happy omen for the whole country
Hundreds of square miles Of territory,
before desolate, have been brought I'M
der cultivation in this way. Cultivated
country means demand for farm i'm
plements, and large increase of popu-
lation. Increase of population means
demand for the necessities of life
Many necessities and most of the lux
uries Of life, and a large part of the
agricultural machinery of the country
are made east Of the Mississippi river.
Hence irrigation means growing flood
Of eastern supplies to western markets.
Again irrigation means wonderful pro-
duction; hundreds of carloads of high
priced fruits, ready for shipment each
year, from tracts that were poor sheep
pastures before. The east wants these
carloads of fruit; Europe wants them,
and across the country for thousands
of miles the railroads carry them
Hence irrigation means two long lu-
crative hauls of freight, the supplies
| west and the products east, and the
dividends of thousands OF stockhold-
ers in the east and west alike reap the
benefits. There are many other bene-
! fits from irrigation, but these are
enough. Irrigation is not a sectional
matter; it is a great national question
