question. The states attorney objected
to the evidence of he children on account
OF their age, but the Judge decided to let
them tell their stories, and the jury could
give ii such weight as they saw fit.
Assistant Chief Runge WAS called, and
corroborated the testimony of Coroner
Nelson as regards the finding of the.
lamp and it's condition.
Mrs. Nancy Pickett, mother of the ac-
cused went on the stand and testified
as to the part she took in the sad affair
on that night. Her story agreed in the
main with what had already been sworn
to by others. During the croSs-examina-
ton. however, the fact was brought out
that several years ago Pickett eloped with
young girl sixteen years DID, leaving
his wife: he was captured in Iowa, and
put in Jail. The length of time which
he was incarcerated was not brought out.
This evidence, coming from one of the
witnesses for the defense, is somewhat
damaging, as 1t helps to establish a me-:
tive for the murder of his wife, and also
tends to show that they had net always
lived in the most pleasant relations as
the defense has tried to prove.
During Mrs. Pickett's testimony the
fact was brought out that her daughter
in-law was subject to fainting spells, and
but few days prior to her death she had
a fainting spell at the home OF one OF
her neighbors.
The court adjourned with Mrs Pickett
still on the stand.

1t is the first rift in the Democratic
cloud that has been visible for several
years, and it is inviting even to Demo-
Gratis who laid store by the free silver
song through two National campaigns.
Any influential member of the minority

that the tariff question Is going to 'tp,St
the Democratic party back into politics. -
1t is pointed out that the second resolution
in the New York group does not offer
much on which the Democratic party
might build. It declares for just and
generous treatment of Porto Rico and
Cuba, and bespeaks for them the largest
practicable liberty of commerce with the
United States In opposing the ship sub

the third resolution, the Democrats get
on ground that is occupied by large

would have valuable issue, but unless
all signs fail the Western representatives

tional trouble for themselves by permit

Naturally there is disposition among
Western Democrats to object to the New

ported by the special committee that now
has them under consideration. Whatever

THE WAFER IS Low.
Mills and street Car System Com
PEELED to Use Steam.

Mills and Street Car System Com
PEELED to Use Steam.
The stage of water in the Mississippi
river has never been as low as at the
present time. This affects all the mills
but one in the milling district, and it
also affects the Twin City Rapid Transit
company, which depends largely on the
water power below the falls to run the
cars OH the Interurban line between the
two cities.
All of the mills are using part steam,
something that has not been done at this
season OF the year for long time. The
street railway company has had to put
in operation its power houses that have
not been doing duty except on special oc-
casions, for a number of years.
The condition is a serious one and en-
tails a great loss both to the millerS and
the street car people. Not only is it
great loss to the street car system, but
it will also have q serious effect on the
travelling public, as the matter of putting
on additional cars to accommodate the
increased patronage during the cold
weather, may have to be abandoned, as
the company, for the time being, may
not be able to put on these cars on ac-
count of lack of power TO operate them.
No reason can be assigned for the pres
ent low stage OF water, except it is the
accumulation of anchor ice up stream
which always affects the flow, until the
river is entirely frozen over, and then
the stream W again resume it's natural
state and insure a better stage

WITNESS SAYS HE MUST HAVE
THROWN a LIGHTED
LAMP
PICKETT WAS AN ELoPER
He Ran Away With Il sixtcen-Year-
Girl, Was Captured in Iowa
and Then Incar-
cefated.

A dark mystery is the Pickett case. The
defense is introducing testimony that
makes the situation all the more puzzling.
People living in the same fiat are put
upon the stand, and their testimony in
a measure cortradicts that which was
Offered by the state.
The defense resumed this morn
ing with Mrs. Walsh on the stand.
She said that the first noise she heard
wa like the roaring of fire; it was not
Il scuffiing noise. She rushed to the WIN
dow, and saw the reflection OF fire in
the Pickett bathroom. She sad that She
hear,l Pickett say that he tried 10 save
his wife, but he could not do so as the
flesh from her foot came off as he tried to
pull her out. She said as far as she
knew the Picketts had alwa.-,s been
happy and contented couple.
Mrs. Lille Beach, who lived on the
third floor of the fiat, gave testimony
which tended in a measure to impeach
that of the states principal witness. Mrs.
Nelson, as she heard Mrs. Nelson say to
the neighbors that Pickett must have
thrown a burning lamp at his wife while
they were quarreiing, and it was in that
Ttcy her clothing caught fire ana inflicted
the fatal burns. The next day she said
she visited Mrs. Nelson with Mrs. Pickett
ST., and the story she told at that time
was entirely at variance with the one she
told on the. witness stand as regards 10
the fire and it's cause.
EX-Coroner Nelson said that he had
been called in the case and arrived. there
while the body was still in the bathroom.
He said there was a. broken lamp in the
bathroom, the bowl of the lamp was
broken off the standard, and the burner
was off, and bore the appearance of an
explosion. He was asked why ne did not
hold an inquest over the remains. and
said that from all the evidence obtainable
it appeared to him to be a ease ef ac-
cidentaI death He had, howeysI. heard
ruinors of foul play: but was untcbie to
locate anybody who was willing to give
any evidence along that line, and as there
was nothing but hearsay he decided that
an inquest was not necessary.
Found Nothing discriminating.
Detective King was detailed on the case
at the time, and endeavored to unravel
some of the foul play" runfors that
were floating around. but after two hours
of conversation with the people in the
nelghborhoed, could not get hold of any
thing upon which to base a claim of muir
der, or even suspect a murder. He SO
reported the matter to the chief of police,
hut such report, which was in writing,
so Mr.. King says, cannot be found.
The two little children, Hazel, seven.
and Reuben, nine, were sworn, and gave
their testimony. which went to show
