GIRL is SET FREE.
Miss Jordine of Bloomington, ILL.,, Is
Released from Custody.

Miss Jordine of bloomington, ILL.,, Is
Released from Custody.
At Bloomington, H., Maud Jordine
was found not guilty of the terrible
charge of numbering her baby sister.
When Justice A. B. Heineman freed the
17-year-old prisoner, after hearing
which lasted less than two hours, the
mystery surrounding the death of the
little one became as deep as ever.
Last week Maud Jordine returned
home from a neighbor's early in the even
ing and left her 2-year-old sister Mabel
to sleep while she went back to her
friends for an hour. When Miss Jordine
came home the baby was missing. The
next afternoon the body of the infant.
frightfully mutilated, was found in a
pasture a mile away. The first theory
advanced was that some insane person
OF tramp had abducted the little girl
and murdered her.
Tuesday Maud Jordine was arrested
on the charge of murder by Detective ].
z. Butler.
When the result was announced But
Ter was hissed, while there were cheers
and congratulations for the fair prisoner
ISere was some fear expressed that over
excited friends of the girl might offer
personal violence to the officer, but for
tunatels nothing of the kind took place
He took his defeat coolly and said that
he was just as thoroughly satisfied as
ever that his course was right, and if
the witnesses had told on the stand what
they had told him and others previously
to the hearing the outcome would have
been different.
The State presented twenty-four Wit
nesses, although not all were placed on
the stand. The evidence presented was
calculated to show that Maud had ex-
pressed her loathing of the task of caring
for the baby and that she did not intend
to keep up this sort of work always.

CAR BARS JEW PLEA.
Russia Declines to Receive Protest
from RonseveIt1s Hands

Russia Declines to Receive Protest
from RooseveIt's Hands.
Russia has declined to receive the Jew7
ish petition concerning the Kisheneff
massacre and will not consider it il pre-
scented. Secretary Hay late Thursday af-
ternoon received advice to this effect
from Mr.. Riddle, the United States
charge d'affairas at st. Petersburg.
1t is believed in official circles that
this ends the incident Mr. Riddle In bis
dispatch to Secretary Hay said he visited
the foreign Office and inquired whether
the Russian government would receive
petition from a large number of Ameri-
can citizens in relation to the Kisheneff
massacre. The reply, which was couch
ed in diplomatic language, was a firm re-
fusal to either receive or consider" the
petition.
Unless President Roosevelt should d.
rect otherwise, this ends the Kisheneff
petition incident. The view of the au-
thorities in Washington is that no fur
Their action in the matter should be taken.
While few officials believed that Russia
would consent to receive the petition, the
opinion almost was general that it would
not do SO. Therefore the announcement
of Russia's decision has caused no sur
prise. A few were inclined to believe
that the Gar would accept the docu-
ment on account of its respectful tone
and from desire not to offend the Amer
lean government by declining to do so.

Ample Tree Rorers.

There are several borers of the apple
tree-the fiat-headed, which bores un-
der the bark and sometimes in the
wood; the round-headed, which bores
into the tree, remaining in the larval
state three years, and the twig borer,
which enters just above the bud. Dig
out the borers with a sharp knife or
probe into the bores for them with a
sharp-pointed wire. Scrub the trees
and apply early in June and July
whale oil soap Cor soapsudsl. with a
little carbollc acid added Burn all
twigs attacked. The soapsuds keeps
the moths off. The digging out of the
round-headed and flat-headed borers
must be done effectively. The borers
are about an inch long. A sharp wire
kills them in the tubes made by them.

Ten acres of small fruits will often
make a man more truly prosperous
than ten times as much land in wheat
or corn. He may not be worth as
much in actual capital invested, but
he will be getting larger net income
and doing it with less severe toll. The
small farm well titled, whether it be
in fruits, dairy, vegetables, etc, is al
most always the most satisfactory.
The principal capital needed to start
such farm is level head and knowl-
edge of the business.

-Four persons were injured, one fatally,
N battle between horse traders and the
authorities of the town of Eddyville,

traders, was shot in the abdomen. Town
Marshal John McHugh was shot in the
arm, and the wound is serious. Harvey
Pea was shot in the breast, and his col

ars. His wife was shot in the ankle
Officer McHugh attempted to arrest
the traders, who were camped near the
town. They had been making more or
less trouble and were thought to have
been implicated in minor thefts which
had been going on for some time They
lived in covered wagons, being itinerants,
and followed the business of trading
horses. When the marshal attempted to
arrest them they resisted. More than
dozen shots were fired by each side be-
fore they gave in, and then only when
