COTTON SEED THIS YEAR.

New crop cotton seed is opening
up bravely. In Jackson, Miss, it al
ready commands over $40 a ton, and
the tendeEcyi is upwards. This makes
the seed worth from 80 to 35 cents a
bushel, and again illustrates the
point that the cotton crop may yet
be profitable on Account of the seed
it yields alone. An acre that yields a
bale of lint produces 1000 pounds of
seed, OF about 33 bushels, which is
worth at present prices something
over $40. Scarcely any northern
wheat field yields a greater return.
1t is not clear as yet whether the
prevailing high prices are due to a
lack of seed, or to the competition
of the new mills is considerable, and
they must have seed, although pres
ent prices of seed products scarcely
warrant present seed prices.
Each new Oil mill seeks first of all
to drive the trust out of its own i'm
mediate section, and in order to do
this it bids up the price of seed, and
the trusts agents readily respond
with a higher bid, and in this way
the price of seed in Mississippi has
been advanced to so, and even a
trife more. About twenty new oil
mills are ready for operation in that
State, and in all other parts Of the
cotton belt the number of mills has
been greatly increased. The industry
is a big one, and as it has the world
as a market there does not seem to
be much danger of a serious glut in
seed products.

SHOT HIS LOVER DEAD.
Fatal Ending of Lovers Quarrel
Victor Roland Dying of
SeIf-Inficted Wounds
at Hospital.

Chicago, Sept. 1O.-As a result Of
a lovers quarrel, Victor Roland
O'Shea, a young lawyer just admit
ted to the bar, shot and killed his
b~ethrothed, Emily Hoganson, hore
to-day, tried to kill the girls mother
and then turned the weapon upon
himself and tried to commit suicide.
He was removed to the Norwegian
Hospital in such serious condition
that he will die.
Last night the young couple quar-
relied. Early this morning O'Shea
visited the Hoganson home with a
view to a reconciliation. The alter
cation was resumed and reached
such a height that Mrs. Hoganson
interferred. O'Shea resented this
action and fired at both women. The
shot fired at Mrs. Hoganson went
wild.

Port Barros, Guatemala, Nov. ga
Refugees who have arrived here this week
from Western Guatemala report a terri
BILE state of affairs as result Of the
eruption of Santa Maria volcano. The
country for a radius of 80 miles has
been made desolate waste and every
vestige OF life destroyed. The loss of life
is estimated at over 1000, the great ma
jority Of the victims being Indians.
Ten Indian villages, each with popula
ton of from so to 5000, were wiped out,
the rude huts being buried beneath tons Of
volcanic debris. All of the coffee plan
tatons in the volcanic zone are ruined
and their owners left penniess. The
greatest distress prevails throughout the
central and western portions Of the re-
public, and even on the eastern coast the
effects are felt in the scarcity of none,
and the rise in the exchange.
Even in Guatemala City the inhabitants
are suffering Tor food The government
is unable to relieve the distress and suf-
fering people are on the verge of revo-
luton. The only thing needed to start
an uprising is the appearance Of leader.

Chance Verdict Before Mdne and No Decision Then Probable
Men Will McGe Has UncorE
Now Calmly Awaits Verdict Life Death

Hypothetical questions were fired at the
physicians by the attorneys. They were
answered, OF course, as hypothetical qucs-
tions are. The nature of the questions
usually suggested the answer and 1t was
much more difficult for one who heard
them to remember the nature OF the ques-
iion than the substance Of the answer.
Judge Napton in his charge made
lucid and intelligent summary of the case,
pointing out to the jury their manifest
( duty, the testimony which should have
most weight in returning verdict and
the circumstances and incidents intro
dueed which should have no particular
bearing OH the case. His address was en-
tirely impartial and served to give the
jurors clear view Of the laws require

Argument by counsel occupied much of
the time of last evenings session. Attor-

for the defense. Mr.. Trppct reviewed the
I stimony and the circumstances logically
in an effort TO show that many acts of the
man were plainly those of ono suffering

The final plea for McGeary was made
by Attorney Wines, and it certainly was
a mastery effort. In his calm, deliberate
style. the Butte attorney followed the
story of the tragedy. Logically, earnestly
and iorcibly Judge Wines related the
main incidents in the actions Of the de-

Two villages went to law in regard to
boundaries. The defeated village, Chern-

having vainly appealed to the senate, peti-

was denied. Shortly afterward a govern
mental officer found the village in TN
usual turmoil He asked what was the
matter.
I'VE have met to take steps to appeal
from the czar," the village elders replied
"How can you appeal against the czar?"
the astonshed officer asked. "There is
nothing higher than the czar except God"
he continued.
"Yes, there is" they eagerly answered.
There is new court which the czar him
self set up"
In proof of their assertion they produced

ROSEBUD COUNTY SHERIFF

NO EFFORT TO PROVE THAT
M'GEARY is NOT GUILTY

In many respects the trial has been
noted one. From the beginning it was
evident that there would be no attempt
on the part of the attorneys for the de-
fense to prove that the killing of Evans
was not done by McGeary. The declara
ton of the prisoner after the shooting
and the statement of the dying man, to-
gether with the fact that there were sew
eral eye-witnesses to the tragedy, made il
impossible to deny that the accused man
was the assailant
Neither was there any opportunity to
prove that the shooting was the result Of
an accident; many circumstances con-
nected with the affair disproved the posi-
bility of this theory. The fact was APP
parent and the attorneys who put up such
an excellent fight for the prisoner did not
deny it, that McGeary had killed Evans !;
killed him without giving him an oppor.
tunity to defend himself, and afterwards
attempted to justify his act OH the ground
OF persecution.
There remained but one defense-in-

COUNTY ATTORNEY DUFFY
SUMMED UP ALL POINTS

County Attorney Duffy closed for the
state. He tiouted the theory OF insanity,
pointed to many Of the accused mans ac-
tions, which he said, il was impossible to
consider irrational and made many strong
points during the course OF his remarks.
He dwelt upon the motive. II was re-
vcnge, the county attorney said. He re-
fcrred TO the statement of the accused
and to the remarks he made subsequent 20
the tragedy from which he deduccd the
motive of the prisoner. The county at
torney made an excellent effort to con-
vince the jury that the accused man was
guilty OF murder, prcmcdiatcd and foul.
Those who have followed the case
closely could not help noticing the ex-
cellent spirit in which the trial has been
conducted on both sides. With a courte-
ous able aud dgnifed gentleman presid-
ing in the person Of Judge Napton, with
the counsel on both sides refrainng from
any of the bitterness which trial OF this
nature so often cngenders, il was oil the
whole fair and impartial investigation,
conducted in a manner that did credit TO
all connected with it.

Nothing unusual or sensational hap
pened at the commissioners room at the
courthouse today, where the board Of can
vassers are working hard trying to find out
who to deliver the certificates of election
to.
So far as several OF the county officers
are concerned it is anybody's fight yet, and
while all of them make claims the real fact
is that there are yet six precincts to hear
from, containing IA votes, from which no
returns, official or unofficial, have been re-
ceived.
These precincts are Rocker, with 10
votes; Graham's Ranch, with IS votes
Browns Gulch, with IS votes Feeley, with
I3 votes; Ralston, with 20 votes, and Fish
Creek, with 8 votes.
With the exception of Feeley the official
returns are sealed up and in the hands of
the clerk of the county, but there is no
information as to how the vote went for
the different candidates. The fusionists

M'GEARY IMACTl0N WAS OF
GOOD USE TO HIS LAWYERS

In this effort they were ably supple
mented both by the action or rather mac
ton of the prisoner vale in court and the
testimony he gave in his own behalf
There were numerous reasons to believe
that McGeary was insane. There were
other reasons equally good to lead the OBJ
server to suppose that he was feigning
with remarkable cunning and intelli-
gence. Expert testimony there was plenty
and some that was not expert. For the
prisoner, many who had known him but
short time, testified that they believed he
was insane, while the state put two wit
nesses on the stand who had no profes-
sional ability but who, from seeing the man
twice previous to the trial few minutes
at each time, were willing to give their
private opinion Of the accused mans
mental condition.
there we're, however on both sides
well-known physicians, with more or less
experiences in diseases of the mind. Their
testimony, like most expert testimony and
like the majority of evidence of that ma
ture, left the hearer in greater doubt than
ever. Two reputable physicians, Drs. Dom
nelly and Norcross, testified that Nc
Geary was insane. Two equally reliable
physicians, Drs. Warren and Cheerin, gave
il as their opinion that he was not insane.
