HELD FOR MURDER.
Joe Bean Alleged Murderer of Ephraim
Root, Lodged in Woodstock Jail.

Joe Bean Alleged Murderer of Ephraim
Root, Lodged in woodstock Jail.
At the preliminary hearing of Joe
Bean, the suspect in the Rochester
murder case, held Friday and Saturday,
before Justice G. L. ChafIee at Rochester
sufficient evidence was brought forward
to warrant the holding of Bean for the
grand jury. States Attorney II. II.
Blanchard of Springfield appeared for
the State and E. II. Edgerton of Ro-
chester for the defendant.
A large number of the witnesses called
testified to the former good conduct of
Bean, and notwithstanding the fact that
crcumstantial evidence points to Bean
as the murderer, there are many Ro-
chester people who declare him inno-
cent. Throughout the hearing he main
tanned a nonchalant appearance and
appeared to have no doubt but that he
would ultimately be cleared.
Frank Hubbard at whose house Bean
was found after the murder, testified
and that he was not aware of his having
left it after that time. Against this
evidence Deputy Sheriff Tinkham testi-
fled that measurements taken of the
tracks found leading from the Hubbard
house to the Green saw-mill around the
scene of the crime at the Green barn and
returning to the Hubbard place, and the
measurements made of Beams shoes
were the same. A son of Mr.. Green
testified to having seen Bean peering
through the window of the Green house
while the family and Root, the murdered
man, were at supper. Some sensational
testimony was introduced. 1t was
sworn that Bean was intensely jealous
of Root on account of the attentions of
the latter to Mrs. John Green and had
an interview with her, when, it is al
legged. he complained of the attentions
Root was paying her. Mr.. Green was in
Canada on business, and there was no
one around but his two sons. Bean then
went away.
1t was also testified that burrs similar
to those around Green's barn had been
found in Beans bed.
Bunny" Martell swore that Bean had
offered him $50 to kill Root, bat his
credibility as witness was impeached
by several prominent business men, VIII o
swore that he had big reputation for
untruthfulness.
Bean testified in his own behalf and
accused Deputy Sheriff Tinkham of put
ting the burrs in the bed himself. He
said there were burrs on his pants but he
got them on him around Hubbard's
barn.
The remaining testimony taken had
no direct bearing on the murder, other
than showing the rather mixed relations
of the parties concerned. The testimony
taken, however, was considered suf1i-
cient to warrant holding Bean in custody
and he was taken to Woodstock jail Sat
urday afternoon.
Notwithstanding that a strict search
was made of the vicinity of the crime no
trace could be found of the weapon
which was used.
A despatch from Woodstock says that
Bean seems very downcast and broken
in spirits since being incarcerated in
the county jail, where he was taken
from White River junction Monday
morning. Bean says there is plot;
that other parties made way with Root
and are trying to fasten the crime on
him.

The American Girls Charm.

In an article IN american Women
and American Men" in the December
Smart Set, the Nicomte de Santo
Thyrso writes:
What makes the American girl a
most attractive being is her sclf-con-
fidence, amiability and good temper.
ITO tell the truth | have never met
an American girl of twenty who did
o consider herself fascinating; this
is self-confidence; and for a woman to
believe she is beautiful is halfway to
reveal beauty. In the first place, a
plain woman, who is aware Of her
%plainncss is unhappy. Man is a sell
fish animal. and, despite what novels
say about sad women me the power
Of tears, unhappiness is as repellant
to a healthy mind as disease to a
healthy body. Then, the conscious
plain woman gives up every thought
of pleasing, and, therefore she does
nothing to make herself attractive.
She does not dress in a becoming
way, she does not smile, she does not
try to be attractive. She becomes
sour or dull, or both"

GETS INTO THE TRUST CUES
TON IN MOST VIGOROUS
LANGUAGE.
Former Pastor of tine Methodist
Church In This City P~rophesies
All Sorts Of Things If a Check Is
Not Put Upon the Trusts-Preach-
ing Golden Rule to Rockefeller.

A dispatch from Owosso.. Mich. to
the Detroit Journal gives a synopsis
of a sermon delivered at Owosso this
week by Rev. J. p. Warner. formerly
: pastor of the Methodist church of this
city:
Rev. J.. p. Warner. of the NJ. Z.
church, preaching from the golden rule
text last night prophesied ruin for the
nation if a check is not put on the
trusts. He stated in words more en-
phatic than customary from the pull
pit, that men like Morgan. Carnegie
and Rockefeller are doing more to
bring on socialism than hundreds of
active socialists could do.
Il verify believe said Rev. Warner,
that in due time the people will rise
in legal power and right and take from
the combinations the very enterprises
they are constructing. This will be
compulsory sale and purchase. In
stead Of this being socialism. may it
not rather prevent socialism,"
Speaking of John d. ROckefeller's
gifts to Chicago university, Rev. Var
ner said:
1T looks as if the church had been
untrue to Mr.. Rockefeller. in that it
has received his gift of millions in
stead of preaching to him the golden
rule pointing to the Judgment day.
The university has received millions
from him. all of which has been gained
in defiance of the law of Jesus Christ.
When the divinity school received Mr..
Rockefeller's money. made by under
selling poor men. the money was made
out of the ruin of honest tradesmen:
the money was made by crowding
them out of business and raising the
price Of oil, which he will not allow an
other man to sell. | tell you, when
they take this money to train young
men to preach the gospel it is danger
GUS to the best interests of the church
of God"

KITCHENER HARD ON FAILURES.
Commanders Sternness the Secret Of
His Getting Work Done.

His Getting Work Done.
The gift of overcoming apparently
i%nsuperable difficulties which the Sir
dar's officers possessed in such a
marked degree was very largely due to
the unbending severity with which he
treated all failures. whether high or
low were responsible for them. A
thing was ordered; it had to be done,
and consequently it was done; no ex-
cuses prevailed for an instant. So
when an officer lost a Nile steamer
through the stupidity Of a subordinate
he was a ruined man: when the wires
failed to connect X. with his base at a
critical moment, the young officer in
charge lost all the fruits of his long
and meritorious labors. If no chief
ever acknowledged more fully and gen.
erously good york we'll done. no n
also was ever more unforsiving of fail
ure, to nc matter what cause the fail
ure might be due. Once III the hot

MGR | in~cautiously reported that D.
had got sunstroke and therefore could
not execute ONE order. "Sunstroke!."
X. replied: what the devil Ices he
mean by having sunstroke;" send him
down to Cairo at once" However, D.
being a friend of mine, l wired to warn
him that he was under a delusion and
quite well, and the order was carried
out, and nothing more heard of the
matter, while poor d. lived to get him

A RECORD POTATO PRICE.
Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars Paid foI
One Ton Of Seed.
DICK HOUTON,
The Night Hawk.

go ~
The potato when well grown still
maintains its Importance as a money
maker. The latest record price for 9
new potato has created a sensation In
agricultural circles. and no wonder.
for n specialist nas paid the raiser
OF it $500 for One ton of seed. 1t Is
named the Northern Star, comes from
Scotland. and is evidently one of the
mos prolific potatoes grown. On April
L. last % pounds of seed were planted,
with the result that they ave a yield
OF Is hundredweight of good, salable
tubers. From IL pounds of seed 149
pounds or IN average of II pounds per
root, were obtained. One of these
roots actually produced 141H pounds.
From another single plant G5 potatoes
were grown. weighing 10 pounds. 1t
Is said that the potato is hardy, and
that the haulm rcsists blight better
than any other variety. There can be
nc doubt that potato growers who
raise the tuber on skilled or scientific
liEes can still depend upon making as
much money from the potato as from
any other crop that can be raised. The
new potato will be distributed from
Lincolnshire, which county. by the
way, has during recent years becoma
famous for seed potatoe culture. At
anything like the present value North.
ern Star will yield a good income to
any man growing it on an acre of land.
