CREsCO. Ia. May 2S.-(specia l.)-Unless
the defense can put up a stronger story
than already sprung Mrs. Sofia Kruger
will be convicted of murder of her husband,
Gustav on the night Of April 10, in the
opinion of the county attorney. Mrs.
Kruger's stories of her husbands disap-
p%earance nave differed. She said he had
probably drowned himself, then that he had
gone visiting and a third tale was that he
had visited a relative, and she left the
impression that he might have been killed
by caving in of n we'll. Mrs. Kruger has
kept quiet since her arrest. and her coun-
sci appear confident of clearing her. Kru-
gers body was found in the river. One
story is that he had gone fishing and was
drowned. but the officers found blood on
the floor. stove and furniture. Kruger's
k u showed several holes and fractures,
and 1t is surmised by the state thai his
wife killed him with a pick, hauled his
body to the river and tied rocks to IT. as
weights were found on It by the men who
dragged the river. Preliminary examina-
ton resulted in binding over Mrs. Kruger
to the grand jury, which meets June o.

HAPPY AND PRosPERoUs.

The farmer may not be any happier than he was. He was always the hap py farmer. But he is more prosperous and useful than ever. To the prOduc- ton and exportatlon of American agri- cultural products is due our great bal- ance of trade. The increase in exports of farm products in the half century ending 1901 was $50 per cent, the total for 1903 being $STS.OOO,0OO. During the last fourteen years the balance of trade in favor Of farm products has aggre- gated s4,S06. 100000, while on all other products it was against us 10 the ex- tent of $s65, 100000. The farmers, there fore, not only cancelled this big obliga- tion, but placed the enormous sum of s3, ,94O, ,OO0, 900 to the credit of the United States if the books of international trade were balanced.
 Secretary Wilson justly claims, then, that the farmers have paid the foreign bondhoIders. And they have also paid many other creditors, and taken good care of their families.

4 CURIOUS REMISDER

This is fine, Christian country, and it is doing many of the heather much good. It will surprise many who know how good and how Christian country it is to read that cannibals existed in it as late as 1875, yet the Tonkawas are charged by other tribes and by persons who have been long in the government service with being man-eaters even as late as that date. It is claimed that among the many tribes which inhabited this country since it's discovery by the whites the Tonkawas are the only tribe that have had this charge lodged against them. As a, result, it is alleged that the Tonkawas were always so hated by the other tribes as to be shun- ned on all occasions, and even to this

THE IAH,s DELAY.

The laws delay in New York is at traeting some of the attention it ought to. The other day Comptroller Grout testified before the commission which is Investigating the matter that the average annual expense of condemna- ton proceedings for the last five years had been more by upward of s2O0, 900 than the cost of the maintenance of the entire judicial establishments of New York and Kings counties. This cost is outside of the cost of the property con- demned. In the last five years it has cost $5,934,39 to obtain the condemna- tion of property valued at s47,156, ,510. There is great dilatoriness in conduct ing the business. MT. J. Noble Hayes submitted report which had been prepared by himself with the efficient cooperation of Ambassador Choate, showing that twenty-three English judges actually tried and determined in the several divisions of the court an average of $500 cases a year for the years 1900 and 1901, which is more than twice the total number of law and equity cases tried in New York and Kings in both years. Justice Gaynor of Brooklyn advocated longer court hours and change in the law to prevent ap- peals on questions of fact which had been decided by judges or juries in the lower courts. He said: Litigation could be readily reduced if there were a speedy determination of the causes presented and the trials made fnal.'
 There are few places, even including good old Connecticut, where the law isn't slower than cold molasses. Of course it shouldn't be so hurried as to be made undignihed, but it should cer- tainly be pushed little.

day the hatred is said to exist against the few remaining Tonkawas. Matt Durr, the aged white man who has liv- ed among the Oklahoma Indians for many years, and, as the Daily Oklaho- man declares, is acquainted with their customs, traditions and languages more than any other white man in the South- west, says of the Tonkawas of to-day: Every one of the fifty descendants of the Tonkawas is summed and despised by the members of other tribes. The remnants of the eaters, who de- voured thousands of other redskins, all ways hunt for a friend, which they se1- dom find. The ancient Tonkawas were the Ishmaelites of the red race, and their fifty still living descendants are actually hated by other Indians for the human flesh-eating committed by their ancestors.
 It is cheering that there are no canni- bals in the country to-day. There are, however, many people here who eat wrong.

FORTUNATE MEXICO.

We haven't benevolently assimilated Mexico yet, but we are benef1cently as- simiIatfng it in a business way. There are now 1,117 American companies, firms and individual capitalists resi- dent in Mexico. They are the heads of the biggest business concerns and en- terprises in that country. They are building the railroads, opening the mines, cutting down the forests, run ming the larger plantations and ranches, operating factories and foundries, and are the owners or builders of electric light and power plants, telephone and telegraph systems, water works and various municipal improvements. Com mercial travellers of American concerns cover Mexico like they do the states and territories of the union, and as a result they have distanced their Euro pean rivals. Five hundred million dol lars in gold is the amount in round fig ures of American capital which our state department estimates is now in vested in Mexico, and the flow of our money in that direction has just begun. We buy 80 per cent. of her produce, and Mexico takes from us 50 per cent. of all her imports.
 Fortunate Mexico. By and by per- haps she will ask to be even more own ed and beloved by the United States than she is going to be in a business
