Women Euanaslists at creston.

Creston, Nov. 20.-Creston is In a
state of religious fever over the
preaching of Mrs. Clara Hazelrigg, of
Topeka, Kas., the first woman preacher
that ever held meetings here. Mrs. Ha-
zelrigg is an educated lady, plain.
forcible and impressive speaker and is
thoroughly familiar with every part of
the Bible. She is assisted in her work
by Miss Graves, of the same place, and
their meetings havd proven so interest
ing that the Christian church, where
they are being held, will hardly accom-
modate the crowds that are increasing
nightly. There have been already thir-
teen additions to the church.

Silver Cit,
George T. Rev, of Silver City, Mills
county, is feeding cattle on a great
scale. For weeks past his feeders have
been coming in here by the hundreds,
it being no uncommon occurrence to
see three or four hundred cattle I'M
loaded here from Nebraska and driven
north thru town, headed for Mr.. Rews
place. He has also been buying hogs
to follow his cattle until he now has
over $500 cattle on feed and about 1000
hogs. Mr.. Rev seems to have faith in
vaccination as preventative of hog
cholera, judging from his having the
bulk of his hogs treated in that way by
Dr. Humphrey, who has made several
trips UP there for that purpose.

AT the recent session of the Iowa
Gamers Association here little bust
ness of general interest was transacted
at the meeting, but there was an in
formal discussion Of the general con-
dition of the canning business. The
last season was not very favorable
one, the crops being late in maturing
and much damage having been done
by frosts. There Will probably be con-
siderable shortage in the supply of
canned corn in consequence of these
uhfavorable conditions. This will en-
able the jobbers to advance the prices
Of such goods, but will be of little ben

of the canning season. incidentally
the shortage may help them in con-

There have been several we'll devel-
oped cases of rabies in Northwood dur
ing the past week. Two calves, the
property of Mrs. A. G. Dahl and Mrs
J. c. Johnson, had to be killed. Both
had refused to eat for several days
and both developed unmistakable
symptoms of rabies. They became
frantic and were restrained with great
difficulty. c. P. Christianson's black
spaniel dog was shot Sunday morning,
after being sick two or three days,
as the animal showed signs of being
afflicted with the disease. Mr.. H. l..

these animals are known to have been
bitten by the dogs that are now be-
| lieved to have had hydrophobia. The
Anchor editor also hears that a farmer
west of town has had some cattle
afflicted with the same disease. The
matter is becoming serious. No one
knows how many animals have been
bitten. The greatest danger is from
dogs and cats. Cattle become frantic
and show disposition to gore people,
but it is easier to avoid them that it
is to keep away from dogs and cats
that have the disease. If the scienti-
fic writer's on the subject are to be
relied on, it will be fully eight months
before the danger is past, even tho no
more animals are bitten.

LOOK FOR An ACQUTIA[
General Belief That John
Wilder Will Not Be Con-

JURY MAY, HOWEVER, DISAGREE
Case Being Argued This Afternoon and
Will Probably Go to Jury This Even
ing-Much Interest centered in the
Trial, and Many Ladies Present
Brief History of the Crime.
Special to Times-Repuhlican.


Hampton, Nov. 20.-The murder case
in which John Wilder, of this Crank
lin) county, is on trial for the killing of
Edgar Dolson will be brought to a
close this evening. The testimony was
concluded this forenoon and the argu-
ments were begun. The closing argu-
ments were made this afternoon and
after the instructions Of Judge Whit
aker the twelve men, in whose hands
rests the fate of John Wilder, will re-
tire for their deliberations.
The general opinion is that the jury
will return a verdict of acqulttai, altno
there is a possibility of it's disagreeing
At any rate, it is not thought py any
one that verdict for either first de-
gree murder or manslaughter will be
returned.
The case has been rushed thru much
more rapidly than was expected When
it began. The state has examined put
six witnesses, and the defense twelve.
Ted Dovey was the principal witness
for the state, having been an eye
witness to the shooting. The defense's
main plea was self-defense, and that
Dolson was getting out of his buggy
for the purpose of assaulting Wider
when the shooting occurred. The
states principal point went to show
that Dolson was in the buggy at the
time of the murder, and wazfshot while
on the seat. The buggy was brought
into court and introduced as evidence,
the shot marks being plainly visible.
Il was in this manner that the state at
tempted to prove that Dolson was In
the rig at the time of the murder, but
the defense contended the shot marks
might show on the vehicle and yet nave
been made after Dolson had gotten out
or was in the act of leaving the buggy.
The states case wasin charge OF Coun-
ty Attorney j. Y. Luke, of this city; j..
II. Scales, of Ackley, and B. II. NAL
lory, also of Hampton. The attorneys
for the defense are Judge W. D. Evans
and e. P. Andrews, of this city.
The murder for which Wilder has
been on trial occurred last June. Wild
en- Dolson and others had been drink
ing, and the trouble grew out OF
quarrel when both were more or less
intoxicated.

eREaoRIs CASE CONTINUED.
Murder Trial at Perry Put Off Till Next
Term.

Murder Trial at Perry Put OFT Till Next
Term.
Special to Times Republican.
Perry, Nov. 2O.--The trial of the
Greek, Gregoris, for the murder of
George Colomoskos will not be heard
at this term of court. All preparations
had been made for a hot legal fight,
over forty witnesses had been subp9-
naed and many people had planned to
go from here to hear the closing argu-
,ments of the lawyers in the case.
1t was not decided until Tuesday
afternoon that the case would not be
tried. In justice to the defense. whose
life and liberty are in jeopardy, the case
could not now be tried.
Dispositions favorable to the defense
were expected from important witness
es in Chicago, Fond du Lac. Omaha and
Lincoln, and these will fail to get here
in time for the original date of the trial.
One of the desired dispositions was
from the man who made the belt which
was found on Gregoris when he was
arrested, and which has been claimed
to have been taken from the body OF
the dead man. The defense can prove
that the belt belonged to Gregoris, but
it must have the testimony which could
not now be had.
The defense also claims to have dis
covered some new evidence which will
largely account for the money Jim Gre
goris had at the time Of his arrest and
which will do away with the alleged
motive he is said to have had for the
doing away of Colomoskos.
The continuance of the case to the
January term will cause Mr.. Nichols to
retire from the case. He has taken a
deep interest in his unfortunate client
and was preparing to make the effort OF
his life to clear the man whom he be-
lieves to be innocent. and no one Is
more disappointed in not being able to
try the case now than is Mr.. Nichols.
jim Gregoris will continue In jail
until the next term of court.

MORE LAND FOR ENTRY.
House Committee Reports Favorably
on Bill.

Washington, April 26.-The house
committee on Indian affairs authorizes
favorable report to be made to the
house on the bill of Stephens of Tex
as, providing for the opening to set.
tlement of 100000 acres of land in the
kowa, Comanche and Apache reser.
walton in Oklahoma territory. This
area represents the 100000 acres set
apart for grazing land under the act
of June 6, 1900, which authority, the
bill contends, was soon misconstrued
by the secretary of the interior as to
lead him to embrace desirable agri-
cultural lands fronting on the Red riv-
er, which have been leased to four
stockmen.
The bill directs that these lands
shall be opened to settlement by proc
lamation of the President within three
months from it's passage and be dis
posed of under the general provisions
of the homestead law and under the
rules and regulations adopted for the
opening of the Comanche reservation
heretofore, under the act of June G.,
1900. The lands are to be sold at
$1.25 per acre, and entries may be
committed after fourteen months of
residence and improvement.

him of the postoffice funds which he
defended at the risk of much damage
to himself He received six blows on
the head and is seriously injured.
There is no clue to his assailant but
is supposed to have, been some one IA
miliar with his habits.
Mr.. Fulton was on his way home
from the postoffice about 9 o'clock
with the funds belonging to the post
office in his possession. While going
through an alley and within few feet

head with a sand bag He grappled
with his assailant AMI put UP des-
perate fight. He called for help and
the robber ran. Mr.. Fulton could not

fact that there is no safe in the post
office and that the postmaster carries
the yaluables belonging to the govern
ment with him.

Death Rate Of Miners.

The death rate of the mining classes
Of the United States is said to be three
times greater than that Of Belgium, the
figures for that country being l.05 per
1900, and for America 3.29 per 1000. The
causes are not easy To group, though it
il reasonably surmised that as we use
the more machinery and drive matters
with more speed, we are more careless
and less consideratc Of hazards. In the
year 1900 some I,50O,OOO persons were
employed in the mining industries Of the
world at large. Great Britain and its
dependencies employed 100000 and
about $5OO,OOO miners were ut work in
American mines. The minority in this
case had ~ large II turnout Of coal as has
had the greater number. The difference
may be credited to several causes, but
the inference remains nnchnllengcd that
though We are the more mechanical in
our methods, we are liable to be less care
