Gives Good Results for Maturing 6ses
Production In state.
Ames. April 22.--During the past
year there has been much difference
Of opinion among stockmen concern
ing the feeding value Of soft corn
caused by the early September frost
OF 1902. Early last October Professors
Kennedy and Holden Of the Iowa Agri'
cultural college issued report show
Ing the chemical analysis OF soft corn
and discussing the feeding value OF the
same. They claimed that on dry
matter basis 1t was equal to mature
corn for feeding purposes. On &C.
count of the large amount OF moisture
present more would have to be fed TO
get good results At that time the
animal husbandry department COM
menced q practical feeding experiment
to test the same. Sixteen steers OF
uniform breeding and quality were di.
vided into two lots Of eight each. One
was fed on mature corn grown IN l9OO
and the other on the soft corn OF 1902.
These steers were fed six months and
marketed on April 16 in Chicago.
Each lot was sold separately, but the
buyers could not see any difference,
thus they both brought the same price,
$5.25, within Is cents Of the top OF
dull, slow market. The results of the
slaughter test showed the soft corn
lot to kill out CO.'S per cent dressed
meat. The mature corn lot 60 per cent
dressed meat. The gains made by the
lots we're practically the same and the
number Of pounds Of corn required tc
produce one pound Of gain was al
most the same, being slightly in favor
Of the mature corn. Valulng the ma
ture corn at SIS cents per bushel and
the soft corn at 80 cents per bushel
there was = difference Of almost 3
cents per pound in the cost OF produc
ing of one pound of gain in favor OF
the cattle fed on soft corn. Full de
tails of this experiment will be issued
In bulletin form at an early date.

son of Mr.. and Mrs. L.. H. Evans, re-
siding at 81 East Twelfth street, the
third victim of pneumonia aggravated
by poison taken into the system
through eating canned peaches, died
yesterday. Earl, aged S years, was the
first to succumb to the fatal disease.
Eva Pauline, followed four days later
and Harry, the baby. was the last. Mrs.
Evans, mother of the dead children,
Is herself in a precarious condition
and not expected to live. Pneumonia
is given out by.the attending physician
as responsible for the deaths though
it is admitted the poison is indirectly
responsible.
The entire family was affected by
the poison eaten last Tuesday night,
one week ago today. When Earl, the
first one died, it was thought his
death was Cue to pneumonia from
which he was suffering. An autopsy
was held and the stomach is now In
the hands of the coroner for analysis.
If there is sufficient poison found to
cause death doubt as to the exact and
direct cause Of the death will no longer
exist -"

Attorneys association.
U. G. Whitney, county attorney OF

which is to make q report at the

citation, to be held probably In June
In Des Moines. with reference to q
new law concerning pardons, paroles
and remissions OF fines and penalties.
Mr.. Whitney is in favor of the CLASH
fication of the men who are convicted
Of crimes In way that will keep the
person who is not criminal at heart
from coming in contact with the nat
ural, hardened criminal, who has
neither instinct nor ambition 70 do

The special committee mentioned
was appointed at the meeting OF the
association held last year. 1t was
named at the suggestion OF Governor
Cummins, who came before the coun-
~ attorneys especially to ask that
they take some action to secure the
enactment of law which would pro-
vide better system of pardons, pa
roles and fine remissions for the state
han that in vogue under the present
laws. The county attorneys ap-
pointed w. H. Killpack, Of Council
Bluffs; w. L. Smith, of Onawa, and
Mr. Whitney to take the matter in
hand, and after thorough investiga-
ton to submit recommendations to
the 1903 meeting Of the association.
Mr.. Whitney has been gathering
data from various criminal .institu.
tons in the country and procuring
copies Of the, pardon and parole laws
Of other states. He has just written
letter to the governor of Indiana for
q copy Of the parole law of that state,
1t being understood that Indiana main
tains two separate prisons for its
criminals. The Michigan City prison
is maintained for the long term men,
usually hardened criminals, as well as
those sentenced to be hung. while the
Jacksonville prison. formerly PEN
itentlary for men of all classes, is
now maintained as reformatory
only. To the latter prison the men
convicted for short terms and for the
first time are sent If their conduct
justifies they are paroled in a little
while. with the unexpired terms sus.
pended over them.
The committee of the county attor-
ueys' association will probably have a
meeting some time in the near
future.

70 STRIKE HossAck CASE.
Warren County Woman viii Never
Be Tried AGAIN.

Indianola, April 21.-The Hossack
case will not be tried again. It is
now on the criminal court docket Of
Madison county, to which county it
was taken on change from Warren. 1t
will be dismissed because Warren
county is unwilling to stand any fur
Their expense in the prosecution. The
case has already cost this county
about $4,000, and there seems to be
no probability of conviction. Mrs.
Hossack was tried and convicted OF
murder in the first degree on account
of the mysterious death Of her hus-
band and she was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. But the case had been
badly tried and the record was full Of
errors and the supreme court could
not do otherwise than send it back for
a new trial. 1t was taken to Madison
county on account of the prejudice ex-
listing in Warren county. The trial at
Winterset, which ended in a hung
jury, was very expensive for Warren
county. A large number Of witnesses
were sent to Winterset and the ex-
county attorney and other lawyers
were hired to assist in the prosecu-
ton. Last week the board of super
visors of Warren county adopted a
resolution directing that the county
attorney of Madison county be not
given any further assistance in the
case and cutting of the employment
Of the Warren county lawyers, who
alone are sufficiently familiar with the
case to make q strong prosecution of
it. The resolution also asked County
Attorney Cooper of Madison to dis
miss the case and make no further
expense to Warren county. There will
be no alternative for him. and Mrs.
Hossack will be at the next term Of
court declared free and her bondsmen
will be released. F..
