KLUSMIRE JURY.
Fifty Men Were on Hand at

Sheriff and Deputies Secured
the Country.

Eight Children on Hand to At
tend Trial.

Oskaloosa, Kas., Nov. THE Klus-
mire trial secured a fresh start this af-
ternoon after a full days layoff to get
jurors. Sheriff Newell had six deputies
out over the county all night rounding
up the one hundred jurors drawn on the
special venire. Perhaps a dozen of
them had appeared when it came time
to open court this morning.
Juror Ernest Croud has gone to his
home in Union township to the bedside
of his wife, and this added to the de-
lay.
By noon fifty jurymen had come in.
and the case was taken up at 1:5O
o'clock where it left off yesterday. The
state went on with it's questioning OF
the jurymen. The attorneys think
they ought to get jury this afternoon
and get the case fairly started before
the day is out
Klusmire's appearance is about the
same as usual. He has clean bed IN
the county Jail, which is a two-by -four
affair. 1t is only a steel cage in a stone
house, and the whole affair is no larger
than a five-room cottage.
Klusmire has a clean bed because ne
demanded it. When he was brought
over from Topeka he objected to the
one in his cell, and Sheriff Newell fur
nished a complete new outfit of bed and
blanket.
Klusmire shares this with John Ham
lin, youth who is waiting trial for
assault with intent to kill a companion
named John Metzgar. Hamlin was
arrested while working at the Santa F'e
shops in Topeka
Klusmire is troubled with rheuma-
tism. He complains of the dampness in
his cell, caused by water dripping down
from the heating boiler which is on the
floor above.
He had another grievance this morn
ing. He didn't get any supper last
night. Being a prisoner of means. and
revolting against the prison fare ne
ordered a supper from the hotel But
the busy sheriff and deputies forgot all
about him in the rush to get jurors, and
Klusmire went hungry to bed.
The rheumatics are not troubling me
now" he said today. Yesterday L

morning they are gone. just feel sick
at my stomach because I did not get
my supper last night"
The eight Klusmire children are all
here. They are quartered at private
residence to avoid the gaze of the curl
Gus. May, Carrie, John and Frank, the
four older children, are on the roster Of
witnesses.

AN OFFER TO SELL.
Panama Canal Co., is at Last in
Position to Make a Bargain.

Washington, Nov. president Hulen
of the Panama Canal company finally
has submitted to Admiral Walker, the
head of the Isthmian canal commission,
a proposition on behalf OF his company
for the acquisition of all its rights by the
United States government. The Pana-
ma company has been restrained up to
this moment from submitting a direct
proposition owing to a clause in the
concession, which it holds from the gov
ernment of Colombia, which prescribes
forfeiture Of the concession penalty
for the making of an effort by the COM
pany to transfer its rights to another
government.
The companys agents therefore have
been obliged to act with extreme eau
ton in making overtures but in some
way the Colombian government has
been induced to wink at this technical
violation of the concession. Its terms
are not yet disclosed and it is probable
that they will not be until the Isthmian
canal commission publishes its report
1t is understood, however, that they are
considerably more favorable to this gov
ernment than were the figures made to
the president three years ago.

MARINES LAND.
French Admiral Takes Possess
sion of Turkish Ports.

Paris, Nov. z, $40 p. ma dispatch
from Admiral Caillard has just been
received, announcing that he landed
marines on the island of Mitylene this
morning and occupied the customs at
Midilli, without resistance.
The French government has received
satisfactory replies from all the powers,
without exception, to its note explain
ing the measures taken against Turkey
An excellent impression has been Gre
ated in official circles by the tone of
the response of the United States,
which is couched in most. friendly
terms.
PORTE YIELDS STILL FURTHER.
Constantinople, Nov. THE porte has
yielded still further to the French de-
mands and has notified NJ Bapste, coun-
cillor of the French embassy, that au-
thority is granted France to rebuild, or
repair sixteen churches, converts and
other institutions situate in different
villas.
TELEGRAPH WIRES CUT.
Paris, Nov. 7-Oficial advices received
here says that the Turkish officials
have cut the telegraph line between
Mitylene and Constantinople. Thus Ad-
miral Caillard was unable to commune
cate directly with M. Bapste, councillor
of the French legation at Constantinople
and was obliged to file all dispatches at
the island of SYRIA
The French government is fairly salts
fed with the progress already achieved
in the dispute by the naval demonstra-
tions. The sultan has promised to settle
all monetary claims, and has offered
guarantees which fall little short of
those demanded. France, however, will
insist upon full guarantees. and also on
the surrender of Turkey in the matter
of treaty rights, before evacuation Of
Mitylene.
No international complications are
anticipated in regard to the powers re-
spOnSe to Frances note and no trouble
is expected ON the island itself.

lowing this Laura Bullion said to Chief
Desmond:
Il have known the prisoner whom you

we have lived in various cities and have
gone under different names in every
city that we visited
Before that she lived with Bill Car
yer, a train robber, who. she said, was
killed in Sonora, Tex, April 2 last.
Laura Bullion Went to Fort Worth
from her home in Douglas, Ariz., to
meet Longbaugh, who was introduced
to her by Bill Cheney, another member
of the gang. She added:
HE had plenty of money, and never
asked him any questions as to where he
got it, He gave me the money that
was in my possession when I was
arrested. / don't know where he got it,
don't know anything about that Wag-
ner robbery

says: ''Reports of dividends actually
paid show that mining is the most pro-
ftable of all industries. Under the
great Improvements recently made in
both air and electric drills and the re-
duction of the cost of treating the ore
by chemical processes, the large divi-
dends already paid will be greatly in
creased. The waste dumps thrown
away at the mines and mills few years
ago are now frequently treated at large
