Jerr OFFERED TO CONFESS.
Would implicate Others In Feud MUIR
ders in Rreathitt County.

wv
Cynthiana. KY. Sept. 19.-Tesu-
monv was begun Thursday In the case
against Curtis Jet for killing Town
Marshal Cockrell at Jackson. NY,
over a year ago. In the case against
Jett and White here last month Cap
tain p. J. Even was the only eye wit
ness that Commonwealth Attorney
Byrd was able to introduce. but.Thurs-
day he introduced four eye Witnesses
whose testimony treated so much COM
ment as to make the situation sensa-
tional at night.
The feature of the afternoon was
the testimony of John Patrick. who
was compelled to leave Breathitt
county because from his law Office
across the street from the courthouse
at Jackson he had witnessed the shoot
ing of Cockrell and saw what happen
ed after the shooting Of Marcum. But
the most sensational developments
were outside of the courtroom. Mrs.
Hagins. the mother of Curtis Jet.
made open o%vertures. not only to the
attorneys for the commonwealth. but
also to Thomas Cockrell. a brother Of
the victim. After her conference
with these persons during the noon re-
cess, she continued them during the
afternoon and evening with Daniel
Hurst. the father Of Mrs. Marcum.
Judge John Patrick. Attorney w. w.
Waugh and others. asking them to in
tercede for her SON.
According to the best information
from those who were in the conference.
Curtis Jett offered through his mother
to make a confession duplicating 9th
ers in the feud murders in Breathitt
county. but he insists on saving his
uncles. and for this reason the com.
monwealth would not accept his over
lures.

Opinion in Gov. eartIett's Town.

Cooperstown Courier: Senator May
nard, in response to a letter from Gov.
White asking him as to his opinion of
a special session of the legislature,
wrote the governor that if he could
get from a sufficient num-
Der of the members to go to Bismarck
and transact the business that the
emergency calls for, he would be in
favor of the session, but he is not in
favor of going up to Bismarck and
then have it develop into a free-for-
all. We do not know how the other
members feel about it. We are of the
opinion, however, that a big majority
of the people of the state are against
a special session.

Chicago, Sept. 19.-Navigation on
the Great Lakes is to be made safer

MORE PROSPERITY IN STORE.

Estimates based on the govern
ment's crop report place the country's
products of farm and plantation this
year at about s., zoo, 900 900, says the
st. Louis Globe Democrat. Very near
~ half of this big amount will be con-
tributed by four staples. Corn will
account for $1,144,950 900, wheat $685.
$40, 900, oats. 1867, 9O1 $50 and cotton
1928, 100000. Hay will furnish an ad-
dition to this total of 1851 900 900, po-
tatoes 1892, 900 900, rye $4,000 900,
buckwheat $4,000, 900. barley $57,OOO,-
900, and the minor agricultural pro-
ducts many millions more. Making all
reasonable allowances for possible
damage to the corn and some of the
other late crops, the noun of money
which will come into the hands of the
farmers and planters of the country
in 1903 is in the neighborhood of S.
900, 00o, 900.
Notwithstanding the pessimistic re
ports earlier in the season, the agri-
cultural yield of 1903 will be very
nearly the highest yet touched in
money value. AS a large part of the
country's prosperity must always be
based on the yield of its farms and
plantations, this exhibit is decidedly
encouraging. The tillers of the sol
are sure of a large reward for their
labors in 1903. and when this takes
place the condition of the country in
general is usually favorable. The
story which is told by the record OF
the farms and plantations, too, stands
a chance to be supplemented by thai
which will be related by the country's
mines and factories. The gold ant
silver production. except as it may bt
affected by the strikes in the Cripple
Creek district. Is sure to be neal tn,

Bismarck and Mandan results in some
disappointments. OF course.
A few years ago a few enterprising
citizens of Bismarck conceived the
idea of securing a new military post
to take the place of old Fort Lincoln.
The records of the war department in
Washington will show that Bismarck
was after the military post and had
it we'll under way before Mandan
knew a thing about it. 1t was then
that the good people Of the enterpris-
ing burg across the stream urged upon
the war department that at or near

The post was located in Bismarck. So
much for the military post.

report of a special inspector on the
Bismarck site was on file in Washing
ton before Mandan had the least
thought of an Indian school or had
made any effort to secure the insti-
tuition. The enterprising people of
our sister city then put up a great cry
and attempted to steal the school from
misunderstanding dangerously near
it-but Bismarck having certain well
defined ideas about rights of posses
sion and discovery" proceeded to pro
tect itself, and, with the Mandan COZ

WAGE SCALE UP TO HILL.
Great Northern President Will Pass
on Demands.

ST. Paul. Sept. 19.-The differences
between the Great Northern and its
engineers and firemen over a new
wage scale will be settled personally by
President James J. Hill. Negotiations
with General Superintendent Slade
and General Manager Ward have
ceased and it is stated officially that
nothing more will be done until Presi-
dent Hill is ready to confer directly
with the men.
The conferences between the o n
solidated grievance committee and
the management of the road, which
continued for nearly three weeks. re-
suited in framing demands which were
presented and discussed. II is under
stood that these are now clearly out
lined and that all that remains is for
President Hill to say whether they
will be granted or rejected. 1t is not
considered probable that there will be
an immediate decision.
