TO PRISON FOR IS YEARS,
The Court Passes Sentence Upon Jessie
Morrison at EldOradO, Ran.

Eldorado, Kan, July ,S.-Nliss
Jessie Morrison, who was found guilty
by a Jury last week of second degree
murder for killing Mrs. Olin Castle
with a razor, was sentenced to-day
to twenty five years in the Kansas
penitentiarY. ME laws OF the state
make the punishment for second de,
gree murder between ten years in the
penitentiary and a life sentence. The
Judge uses his discretion, Miss Nor
rison was tried three times. The
jury hung the first time. The second
time the verdict was second degree
manslaughter. Her punishment was
fixed at ten years. She served two
months in prison and then was grant
ed new trial.
As the Judge told Miss Morrison to
stand up and asked her if she had
any legal cause why Judgment should
not be passed upon her profound
silence prevailed in the court room
and the crowd rose to it's feet. Miss
Morrison stood up in front of the
Judge with her back to the crowd,
but refused to say u word. She did
not even look at the Judge. Judge
Altman said: 1T is a sad thing to
find an intelligent woman like you
III this condition, but such is the
case; it is to be regretted by every
body, but have my duty to per
form. | feel sorry for you, and al
though have range of from ten
years to life Imprisonment that | can
give you, and although | would be
justified in giving you a life sentence
| will not. The Judgment of this
court is that you be confined at
close confinement and hard labor in
the state penitentiary at Lansing
for period of twenty-five years and
pay the costs of prosecution. -
Miss Morrison sat down without
saying word or shedding tear
and was cool and self possessed, al
though little pale and trembling.
Jessie Morrison and Clara Wiley
Castle fought with a razor. Mrs.
Castle was cut in her arms, breast
and throat. Miss Morrison also was
cut about the arms and breast. The
quarrel took place in the Castle home
eight days after Miss Wiley had been
married to DIN Castle, with whom
both women had been in love. In a
death bed statement Mrs. Castle said
that Miss Morrison had first attack
ed her, and the theory of the state
has been that Miss Morrison, in a
spirit OF revenge, armed herself with
razor and went to Mrs. Castle's
home intent on killing her.

of 100 days in Jail and a fine of 500

OF his own wife, who claimed that
Mayes had been harrassing her with
his attentions, and the killing took
place at Wagner's home, where
Mayes was trying to gain an inter-

for Mayes' actions. She will have a
separate trial. Division No. 2. which

Dying OF Spanish Fever.

Joplin, Mo, July 5.-Cattle in this
section are dying in great numbers
of what is known us Spanish fever.
The disease is extremely contagious
and is spreading all over the coun-
try, and unless immediate steps are
taken to prevent a further spread
the loss will be considerable. In this
city during the past few days milk
cows have died by the store from the
disease. Bringing infested cattle
here from Arkansas is the cause for
the spread of the malady.
Buyers in Kansas City and other
markets have vuarantined certain
sections OF Arkansas and Texas aud
the result is that large herds of cat
tie from those districts are being
shipped into points in Missouri
those that do not die are, fattened
and marketed as Missouri product.

and Representative Littlefeld, of
Maine, whose knowledge of constitu-

to prepare bill for the regulation
and control of the trusts that will go
before congress with the endorsement
and influence back OF it, The bill will
be submitted at the beginning OF the
next session, but before this is done
the president, Attorney General
Knox and Mr.. Littletield will have
frequent conferences as to the details.
In addition to this proposed action
the president is going to talk upon
the trust question a good deal on the

the fall. He has announced to his
friends that the question is vital
one and that he proposes to push it
vigorously until there is some action
taken by congress.

Don't Marry Man Until
You See Him Sharpen a Pencil

point is high strung and imaginative
and subject to exhuberant flights of
fancy He will always be seeking to
mount upward and accomplish things
in the higher regions of business and
arts, and his wife's greatest trouble
will be to hold him down to earth and
prevent his flying off altogether on a
tangent
The man who sharpens his pencil
all round smoothly and evenly as
though it were planned off in an auto
matte sharpener is systematic and
slow to anger But he is so very un-
deviating from fixed principle that
he would drive woman with a SEN
sitive temperament to distraction in
less than six months.
He who leaves the sharpened wood
as Jagged as saw teeth round the
top has a nasty temper and will want
to quarrel on the slightest provocation.
There are certain women who could
manage that sort of man beautifully.
and if he gets a wife with a calm,
persuasive eye he will in a few min
uteS bee as meek as a lamb.
The man who dOsn't stop to polish
the point of lead once the wood is
cut away has streak of coarsness in
his nature. He who shaves off the
lead till the point is like needle is
refined, delicate and sensitive.

Don't marry man until you have
seen him sharpen pencil. You can
tell by the way he does that whether
he is suited to you Or not. Here are
a few infallible rules for your guild
ance in the matter:
The man who holds the point toward
him and close up against his shirt
front is slow and likes to have secrets.
He is the kind of man when his best
girl finds out that there are "others'
and asks him who they are and what
he means by calling on them, will as
sumo an air of exceeding dignity and
put her off with some evasive answer
which says quite plainly, Eyes, call
ed; but its none of your business who
she is or why did it." A woman with
jealous disposition should look out
for the man who sharpens his pencil
in this manner and shun him.
The man who holds the pencil out
and whites away, careless OF results,
is an impulsive fellow, good-natured
and generous.
He who leaves blunt point is dull
and plodding, and will never amount
10 much. He is really a good-hearted
fellow and hasn't an enemy in the
world He finds his chief pleasure in
the commonplace things of life.
On the other hand. he who Sharpens
his pencil AN inch or more from the
