Mrs. Medea Robinson, the daughter OF
a prominent Martinsville family, still

the proceeds of which she paid the ex-
penses of her former husband thru the
Indiana Medical College. The forgeries

questioned that the forged papers had
been passed to secure money for Robin-

large in any instance, but the checks
had been presented frequently, and the
proceeds consequently footed up well.
Mrs. Robinson is a graduate of Indi-

t,eir graduation they became engaged
and later were married. She is about
81 years of age, of striking appearance

Iowa Said to Be in No Danger of Inva-

Columbia, Mo-, May 9.-F,rom present
indications there seems to be unneces-
sary alarm prevailing in Missouri con-
corning the seventeen-year locust. 1t
Is not generally understood that the To-
Gusts, or ''cicadas," as they are scien-
tifically known, ppear in different sec
lions at different periods, and that
there is no such thing as a general ap-
pearance thruout the country. Recent
reports from the east say that the sew
enteen-year locust will appear this
year, and 1t has been taken for granted
that the entire country will be infested
with the pests. The fact is that the in
sect invasion will NOT extend any far
Their west than Illinois, and that. the
fruit growers and nurserymen in the
western states need have no fear Of the
pest this year.. There will be no locusts
in Iowa or Missouri, until 1905, after
which they will appear frequently until
1914.
In view Of the fact that so much is
now being said about the locust pest,
and that there is so much misunder-
standing. Professor j. N. Stadmon, Of
the department of entomology of the
Missouri University, made a special
statement on the subject yesterday.
mo locusts will appear in Missouri
and Iowa." said Professor Stedman.
until 1905, in 1912, in 1918 and In 1914.
There are two varieties of the insects,
the seventeen-year locust and the thir-
locusts. They are exactly the
same In all respects, except that they
appear at different intervals. A peculi-
arity Of the locusts Is that the time of
their appearance NAV be Judged with
exact precision, and we never fail in
predicting the dates"

Australia Strikes a Blew at the British
imperial Federation.

imperial Federation.
London, May 9.-Disappointment
~pervades the advancing school OF Eng
lish imperialism because Of the exclu-
sively nationalist tone of the speech
made by Hon. Edmond Barton. premier
Of Australia, at Melbourne, Monday. MI.
Barton is interpreted as proclaiming
the intention of Australia to remain
outside Mr.. Chamberlain's scheme for
Imperial defense, which requires Iarg-
er colonial contributions to- the royal
navy. This scheme embodies the most
cherished ideas of the imperialists OF
England, and the government is deter
mined to take advantage of the confer
ience Of colonial premiers that Will be
held at the time Of the coronation to
urge its adoption.
The London imperial federation COM
mittee has been striving for several
years to educate the colonies into a
generous conception of their obligations
to the empire, and consequently hears
with poignant regret the premier
statesman of Australia callously dis
missing the claim of imperial defense in
favor Of the idea Of Australian defense.
This, according to the federationists,
strikes across the principle Of fedora
ton at right angles, and suggests that
Australia is willing TO promote the
cause Of Imperialism only as d as 1t
comedies with the material interests of
Australia.
Naval strategists condemn Mr.. Bar
TONS idea of a more or less stationary
fleet for the protection of the Austral-
ian coasts as ~strategically unsound
from the standpoint of Australian IN
terests. They say that The fate Of the
colony in the Pacific may be decided
in the Mediterranean OF the English
channel. since there is no such thing Is
local defense at sea- ~
Liberal sentiment is strongly OPP
posed to the application of undue pres
sure by the government to overcome the
wish Of the colonies, should such wish
develop, to preserve their naval and
military independence. They think that
Mr.. Barton and other colonial states
men would be certain to condemn any
arrangement for central naval military
control, which would make 1t possible
for the motherland to Involve the coll
onies in a war of which they might
not approve.

FEARS DISASTER TO FARMERS.
Missouri Cattle Raiser Protests Against
Beef Trust Agitation.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 9.-"All Of this
agitation against the s~o-called beef
trust Or the packers combine is re-
sulting in ruin to the farmers, the pro-
ducers of beef" said Col. George M.
Casey at the Midland hotel yesterday.
Col. Casey lives in Clinton, Mo. He is
one Of the heaviest cattle feeders and
ranchmen in the west. He markets
10000 cattle a year.
THE high price of beef Is not due
to n trust or combine of any nature"
said Mr.. Casey. ut is due to the
drought. Every n knows that as a
consequence of the shortage in feed the
price of it went up to more than double
what it was a year ago, n every n
ought to know that if the price of cat
tie feed is so much higher the price of
beef is bound to be correspondingly
higher. But it seems that every one
does not know it, and so an agitation
has begun against a supposed beef trust
and in the east there is a widespread
boycott started by sensational newspa-
pers and politicians against the meat
sellers, and so many thousands of peo-
pie have stopped eating beef because Of
this boycott, that the packers in Kansas
City say the demand has fallen off, ana
as a consequence the price of cattle
have fallen and disaster stares the cat
tie producer in the face
Even here in Missouri the politicians
have taken up the agitation and are
