THE trial in Memphis O

THE trial in Memphis of
Mrs. Georgia Emma Hooks
on the charge of poisoning
her husband, Cerro Gordo
Hooks, is drawing to an end.
The fight is largely between
chemists, who differ as to
whether the arsenic found in
Hooks stomach was taken
as medicine or was in the
EN- balming fluid. Hooks was
given $50, 900 by Mrs. Hooks
to marry her. A previous
husband and son died sudden
ly iand with similar symp-
toms, from whom Mrs. Hooks
inherited about $13O, in
property and insurance.

Read 1t in HIS NeWSnaner.

Geo. Schaub, a well known Ger
man citizen of New Lebanon, Ohio,
is a constant reader of the Dayton
Volkszeitung. He knows that this
paper aims to advertise only the
best in its columns, and when he
saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm adj
vertised therein for lame back, he
did not hesitate in buying bottle
of it for his wife, who for 8 weeks
had suffered with the most terrible
pains in her back and could get no
relief. He says: "After using the
Pain Balm for few days my wife
said to me, Il feel as though born
anew and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbeara-
bic pains had entirely vanished and
she could again take up her house
hold duties" He is very thankful
and hopes that all suffering likewise
will hear of her wonderful recovery.

alfalfa, the sunflower, rye, oats, sor-
ghum, canebrakes, horse beans, bar
ley and the new seed grain plant from
Egypt are all available for fuel only
under one condition. Some cheap and
effective of compression must
be devised. The farmer who wants
to prepare his own fuel is confronted
with a mechanical difficulty. If fuel
were cultivated" however, in large
quantities on the western plains com
preston could be accomplished OF a
large scale at small cost. AS for the
'caloriic power" of vegetable fuel,
Mr.. Atkinson thinks that twenty tons
of cornstalk and leaves would equal
about fourteen tons Of bituminous
coal. This being the case, n may
hope that the chiefs of the agricul-
tural experiment stations will give
Mr.. Atkinson's suggestion something
more than the "derision" which he
d~eferentially anticipates Tor it. If
vegetable fuel is practicable there are
interesting industrial developments
ahead of us.

SEEING THE DIFFERENCE.

Philadelphia Press: The S%paniards
begin to realize the advantage of liv-
ing in a country over which the Unit
ed States flag floats and hundreds of
them who went home to Spain from
Porto Rico when that island became
the property of the United States are
now returning. In the last fiscal year
Sal returned and the number has
been increasing since June. They see
that Porto Rico is prosperous and that
they are better protected there than
when at home in Spain.
Many have also returned to Cuba,
being satisfied that under the Platt
amendment to the Cuban constitution
the United States will not permit
that country to become a home for
revolutions, such as characterized so
many of the former Spanish colonies
on this continent. With stable gov
eminent, and no excessive taxation
such as Spain imposed, both Porto
Rico and Cuba are certain to be pros
porous. Porto Rico is already in that
condition, and Cuba, under a fair
reciprocity treaty with the United
States, would be equally certain of
prosperity if provided with a good
government.
The sugar crop of Porto Rico for
this years is the largest, with n ex
ception, ever produced, and next
years crop will probably be the larg-
est. There has been a considerable
increase in the area Of tobacco cul
ture and progress is marked in al
direction. In 1897, under the Span
iards, there were 53S schools on the
island, whereas there are now nearly
1000. The death rate has greatly de
creased, more land is cultivated, new
roads have been built, exports ant
imports have increased and the
healthy progress and steady advance
ment noted is as attractive to Span
iards as to other nationalities.
In the Philippines the same kind o.
prosperity is springing up, though
Porto Rico has the advantage in the
people who make up her population
and in the closer proximity to thu
United States. But nothing is more
certain in this worlds affairs thai
the future prOsDerity of the Philip
pines as we'll as that of Porto Rico.

SCANDAL IN The CHURCH
SENSATION FOLLOWS ORGANIZING
OF REV. MILES SMYTH.
Was Once a Prominent Priest in Mis-
souri, and Was Known as
Father Dominick.

Spokane, Dec. ia sensation fol
lowed the ordaining of the Rev. Miles
Smyth into the Episcopal ministry on
Sunday morning. The preacher was
formerly a priest of the Catholic
church. 1t has developed that he was
once known as Father Dominick Wag-
ner, and was an inmate of the Bene-
dictine monastery at Conception, Mo-,
and was prosecuted at St. Joseph,
Mo.
According to a report from st. Jo-
seph, he was prosecuted for the Sc
duction of a 1~6-year-old girl, Maud
Steidel, whom he married and din
vorced, and who is nov a nurse in the
training school of the Sacred Heart
hospital, a local Catholic institution.
Mr.. Smyth denies the seduction
charge and says he was prosecuted
for embezzlement, and that the case
was thrown out of court. Smyth says
he is being prosecuted by the Catho-
lies because he married. The Epis-
copal clergy has ordered an investi-
CATION and the entire priesthood and
clergy of this section have been
wrought up by the sensational devel-
opments.

When the government shall finally
decide that the time has arrived to be-
gin actual construction On some of
the storage systems now in contem-
plation as a part of the scheme evolv-
ing to reclaim the arid regions, the
hustling men down in the extreme
southeastern corner of Montana may
invite Uncle Sam to send one of his
boys out that way to see what a lit
tie old fashioned sense, backed by
muscle and determination can occom-
plish. Instead of waiting for the ne5u-
lous time when national irrigation
may be undertaken there, they got
"a move on" peeled their coats and
after a few preliminary remarks about
the niggarrliness of nature began to
throw up dams and soon had the sat
sifaction of seeing gulches and coulies
tening, Foregoing water. The rains
and melting SHOWS of the spring keep
their reservoirs filled and they can
irrigate to the hearts content, while
their livestock can now indulge in the
hitherto unknown luxury of drinking
whenever thirsty. Then as a means OF
causing an acceptable addition to the
| rather plain fare of a ranch and max
ing a pleasing break in a daily menu

bacon, the reservoirs also answer an
other excellent purpose. Think OF
the myriads' of ducks and other
aquatic fowls that will be tempted tC

be depended upon to see that all dc

A VEGETABLE FUEL.

. Chicago Tribune: Mr.. Edward
Atkinson is one of the most adventur-
Gus and interchangeable of intellectual
explorers. The intellectual world con
tains few recesses into which he has
not penetrated. From fireproof wood
h turns lightly away to the use of
tubs as ovens in farm houses; from
that he hurries off to the status of
subject populations, and from that he
fits to the diffusion of light On plants
through glass. Just now he is trying
to find out whether a farmer cannot
raise his own fuel 'by devoting about
one acre in a hundred of his posses
sions to that purpose for the supply
of one family"
Anthracite COAL" he says, "is be-
coming a luxury. In about two genera
tons it will be exhausted" There is
no way of replenishing the supply.
There is just SO much and no nor
"Why, then" asks Mr.. Atkinson in a
letter to the chiefs of the agricultural
experiment stations, SHOULD we not
try at once to discover some substi-
tute?"
Consider the corr crop. The ratio
of dry stalk, leaf and corncob is about
one and one-half tons to the ton of
shelled corn. The amount of fuel,
therefore, in the present corn crop
is owe 100,0 600, 900 tons. Consider
now the whole grain crop, including
corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, etc.
The total amount of potential fuel in
volved is between $50, 00O, 900 and 2O0,.
100000 tons. Further, there are
plants, like alfalfa and the sunflower,
which produce heavy fuel growths.
Sorghum, however, is OF all fuel
plants the one which Mr.. Atkinson
regards as most promising. Sorghum,
compressed into logs in a partially
green stage" and seasoned as green
wood is seasoned, holds out great pos
sibilities of future usefulness. Be.
sides, there is a new seed grain plant
from Egypt which grows rapidly in
the semi-arid parts of this country.
Could not this plant be used as fuel,
and have we not here the means OF
turning the semi,arid west to &C
count?
Whatever plant is used, the problem
is essentially the same. Corn, wheat
