LITTLE FOR
MRS. BURDICK.
(continued from First Page.l

Continued from First Page-)
PatroIman Meyer told of meeting the
lone woman near the Burdick home at
10 o'clock a. m. on the morning of the
murder He would not be able to iden-
tify the woman if he met her again
THE DOMESTIC TESTIF1ES-
Katie Koenig, a domestic in the Bur
dick family, told in detail of the events
of the evening. beginning with the ar
rival Of Mr.. 53urdick with a cocktall
bottle which she had not seen since ne
took it into the kitchen: of her having
last seen Burdick in the hallway about
$3.50 O'cloc,zs that she retired about $3.50
and heard no unusual noises during the
ing up to the time Margaret Murray
the other domestic, called on Dr. Marcy
by telephone
She had not heard a quarrel in the
Rouse and did not know that the rela-
tons between BurdiCk and Mrs BUD
dick were strained until after the muir
der. She knew Mrs. Burdick went -
Atlantic City. but she did not consider
that strange.
Gentlemen callers were rare at the
Burdick house. Nobody had ever had
a quarrel with Burdick al the door. A
Mr.. Peacock, accompanied by woman
had called two weeks before the murder
and Burdick and Marion had gone out
with them. Mr. and Mrs Burdiclz were
on good terms up to the time she left
and the witness had never noticed any
thing unpleasant between them.
Attorney Hartzell brought out the in
teresting fact that the gas in the hall
and in the den was lighted by an cleo
trio appliance. By pressing the button
the gas could be lighted. BY pressing
another button it was extinguished. On
the night after the murder it was founc
that the electrical arrangement in the
den would not work. An investigation
showed that someone had turned off the
gas in the den instead of extinguishins
it by means of the button.
The attorneys purpose in bringing out
this fact was to show that whoever was
IN the house on the night of the murder
was not familiar with the electric az
rangement for turning out the gas.

A man once got dun through the
postoffice and it made him mad. He
went to see the editor about it and the
editor showed him some duns he had
received himself, one for the ink, one
for the paper, one for the plates and
several others. "Now," said the patient
editor, II don't get mad when these
come; knew / owed these and relied
on you and others, who owe me, to come
in and pay me SO l could pay them,
You see we all depend on someone. "
The mad subscriber saw the force OF the
argument and said he was sorry that he
had let the bill run SO long and paid
three years in advance. Wonder il
there is any more men like this ore

Gently visited the distractions in the
Columbia river, between The Dalles and
Cello, has decided to abandon the
Harts plan for opening theriver at that
point, and in lieu thereof will prepare
plans and estimates for a continuous
ship canal from the foot Of the dalles
rapids to the head Of Cello falls. The
Hsrts plan contemplated the construc-
tion OF submerged dam in the Colum-
bia, with view to draining out Five
Mile rapids. The river was then to be
opened around other distractions by
means of two or three short canals. The
engineers visited the scene Of the pro-
posed improvement, and, after studying
the natural conditions and surroundings,
concluded by unanimous vote that the
dam proposition was altogether imprac-
ticable.

and mistakes. Another controlling fac
tor was that Hermann would be able to
get share of administration spoils for
his district, while a democrat would
have no right TO ask favors of the gov
eminent. Thus our extreme party poll
tics leads to the elevation OF unfit men
to the high places and prevents the ft
man from taking any part in the shap-
ing OF public affairs. Still We prize our
politics very highly and seem willing to
pay several prices to have the public
service abused and plundered."

The bond of sympathy for suffering
humanity was exemplified by the action
OF Athena citizens taken in mass meet
ing Tuesday morning. The giving Of
the Fourth Of July fund to assist the

1t Is step well taken; inasmuch as it
does not seem compatible with good
citizenship that hilarity should abound
when SO much sorrow exists in near

TRADE IN WHEAT ONLY FAIR,
THOUGH NEWS IS BULLISH.
CLOSE is EASIER AT A FRAC-
TIONAL DECLINE.
Corn Is Extremely Dull and Mar
ket Featureless-Oats Pit
Almost Deserted.

Chicago. Jan. 12-There was only a fair
trade in wheat to-day. and although the
news in general was bullish. the close was
easier, Nav being h0asc over. May corn
was 1sGAc lower. while oats closed Nc
higher. Provisions were strong. the May
delivery closing from 10c to ac higher.
WHEAT.
Wheat was rather unsettled. and. In spite
of bullish news, which caused a firmer feel
ing early in the day. the tendency was
toward lower prices Influenced largely by a
report that a considerable amount OF wheat
was being worked foe shipment to France
was an early bull factor: as were the small
receipts and heavy rains in Argentina.
There was also a good cash demand. and re-
ports of a heavy export business at the sea-
board helped prices late in the day. May
and quickly sold up to 1612c. Selling by pit
traders caused a decline to 15&Q15:sc, when
there was an advance to l67sc. Cnloading
by longs brought about another break and
the price went down to l5as1loAc. with the
close 1AGesc lower at 75a.a15.sc. There was
an increase in TIE visible supply of SIs.Ooo
bu., compared with q decrease a year ago OF
10000 blu. The amount on passage showed an
increase of 2. ls4.G1c bu. Clearances OF wheat
and -four were equal to $4,000 blu: Primary
receipts were $4,000 bu.. against 1.O62.0O blu.

receipts of 80 cars. none OF contract grace,

of 800 cars. against s67 cars last week. and
1.0l6 cars a year ago.
CORN.
The trading in corn was extremely duii
and the market was featureless. with prices
barely steady. A good cash demand was
the main Strengthening influence. although
a fair export demand also favored the Dull
! side. The weather was favorable Tor the
movement, but the receipts were only MOO
| crate, due to the car situation. The weak
| ness in wheat late in the day was a de-
pressing factor and caused an easy tone at
the close. May being 1sIAc lower at 43ssc,
after selling between $3.50 and 43fsc. Local
| receipts were S74 cars. with two of con-
| tract grade.
| OATS.
The oats pit was almost deserted and
very little trading was done, but in spite
of the extreme dizziness the market was
firm. A good cash demand. together with
buying by a prominent long. was the CHIEF
supporting influence. The close was firm
with May Nc higher at 34&c. after selling
between 34asc and 342dS47sc. Local re-
ceiptS were fair at 210 cars.
