the class OF men he draws around

OUAILS AS TRIAL NEARS.
Waterloo Grand Jury Takes Up Case
of Slayer of William Brandt,
Trial VIII be Pushed.

Waterloo, ILL.,, oept. 29.-The trial of
sational feature of the September ses-
sion of the circuit court, which opened
here Monday. Hoffman, is the man
who recently shot and killed his father
in-law, William Brandt, and made a
sensational escape, being captured aft
erward near Belleville while asleep
from exhaustion. The grand jury is
considering his case.
Hoffman, kil1ed Brandt on the even
ing of September s last. He went to
the Brandt home and met his father
in-law as he came to the door to an
swer his knock, with threat to shoot.
ooh, you've got gun!" exclaimed
Brandt, but guess you're not going
to shoot me"
Hoffman, did not answer, but raised
the gun and fired. The entire charge
took effect in Brandt's chest, and he
died instantly in his wife's arms. Hoff-
mann's desperate attempt to escape at
tracted the attention of the country,
but he was captured within week by
Sheriff Thomas Ruch, who now has
charge of the prisoner.
Hoffman, is kept in solitude in a
cell at the county Jail. He is very bit
ter and morose, and gives the jailers
considerable worry. He declines to see
anyone, and has apparently made no
preparations for his defense, but gets
more fidgety as his trial approaches.

SIR THOMAS FAST IMPROVING.

Chicago, Sept 29.-Sir Thomas Lip

Chicago two weeks ago with an affec-
tion that developed into appendicitis,
was able to receive visitors Monday.
Among other things he said:
Il am as desirous as ever of lifting
the cup. If I cam find a designer who
can build a winning yacht l will give
him warm grasp Of the hand.
"Herreshoff has no equal in the de-
signing of fast yachts.
II shall keep Shamrock HI. in New

Shamrocks, though have had the
most expensive collection of Sham

"It would be the best thing in the
world for yachting in the United States
to have the cup go to England. 1t
would stimulate yachting here and re-
suit in class of boats for utility as
we'll as speed.
"I don't think we could hold the cup
more than one year.
There is not the least truth in any
rumor regarding my possible mar
riage."

he was entertained at luncheon by Col.

FARMERS TRUST STRONG
A National Concern to Regulate
Marketing Of Farm Products.
The Organizers Plan the EstabIish-
nent OF Elevators, warehouses
and other Facilities.

St Paul, Mimi, Sept. 29:--Farmers Of
Minnesota will do little trust form
ing themselves on October 6, when
they will meet at the capitol to ANAL
gamate the various farmers organiza-
tions into the Farmers National Co
Operative Exchange Co., national
concern to regulate the marketing OF
the farm products of the United States
and backed by the mere trifle of about
$4,000, 900 in capital and 100000 mem
bers. At the coming convention the or
ganization work inaugurated recently
in Chicago will be extended to Mime
sofa and plans laid for the handling OF
Minnesota agricultural products by the
farmers trust.
The cooperative company is the re-
suit of the amalgamation of the Con-
sumers' and Producers union, char
tered in Tennessee; the American So
ciety of Equity and the National Co
Operative Exchange Co. These organ
izations have a membership of about
100000 farmers.
The organizers plan the establish
ment OF elevators, warehouses;, stock
yards and other facilities, and control
the volumes of farm products seeking
a market. 1t is proposed to regulate
the visible supply" and to hold II
back during times when prices are low.
VIII Maintain Prices.
1t believes that the organization
will maintain a steady level of good
prices for agricultural products by
adapting the supply to the condition OF
the market The organization does
away with the middle men and will
deal directly with consumers. 1t will
make an effort to prevent the accumu-
lation of large supplies in public ware
houses, resulting in depression Of
prices.

seven candIdates.

So far as can be sacertained, there
are now seven candidates in the race
for clerk Of the Supreme Court, and
more to hear from. The successful
candidate will have to get both a
majority Of the popular vote and a
majority Of the electoral vote in or
der to win. This will, of course, be
next to impossible, with field full
of candidates, and the race will be
thrown into the house Of representa-
tives for final settlement. Where
mo candidate receives both of these
majorities the house of representa-
tiyes must elect clerk from between
the two candidates receiving the
highest number of votes. The cam
didates now in the field are George

Omaha, Neb., Sept. 29.-Rt. Rev.
Bishop Richard Scanned, of the Omaha
diocese of the Catholic church. Monday
made a statement in reply to that Of
President Lynch of the Typographical
union, who defended it's Catholic mem
bers who have taken the obligations
of that union. Bishop Scanned said:
my attitude in this matter has been
misunderstood, if not misrepresented.
The typographical union has not been
condemned in this diocese. nor have
its members been refused the sacra-
ments. A reporter came TO my resi-
dence recently, showed me newspaper
clipping containing an oath said to
have been taken by the members of
the typographical union, and asked my
opinion regarding it. | told him, in
substance, that the oath in its natural
and obvious sense could not be lawful
ly taken by any Catholic. That was
may whole action in the matter. My
opinion regarding the wording of the
obligation is unchanged"

HorrlbIe and Fatal Aeeldent.

. L. H. Ackart, trainmaster of the
Southern railroad, met with horri-
BILE death at Greenwood last week.
He jumped off the caboose of a
freight train while it was taking a
side track, and in some manner got
his left leg caught under the wheels
Of the car, and the limb was terribly
crushed, necessitating amputation
just below the knee. Mr.. Ackart
lost much blood, and the shock
proved too much for him and he
died the next morning. He was

champlon cotton Plekers.

James and Clifton, the Is and IT.
year-old sons of J. J. Cooper, a pros
porous farmer living near Lawrence,
in Newton county, made a remark
able record one day last week for
speed in picking cotton. They had
been making a pretty good showing
in gathering the feecy staple and the
other day their father told them he
would make them a present of SIS if
the two would pick 700 pounds in
one day. The boys went to the patch
about daylight to begin their task.
By noon Clifton had picked 312
pounds and James 308, and they in
formed their father that they be-
lieved they could make it a thousand
by night, whereupon they were told
by the father that if they did he
would double the prize. After rest
ing forty minutes for dinner they re-
turned to their work and at $50
o'clock p. M, when the cotton was
weighed, it was found they had
picked 1,100 pounds, one getting
548 and the other $50 pounds.

The pension obligations Of the Unit
ed States, SO far as civil war veterans
are concerned, has passed over the di-
vide. Its ascent was gradual, but death
will see to it that it's descent will be
almost precipitate. Anyhow, the per
capita assessment is four cents less
for the payment of pensions this year
than it was last. This is not particu-
larly encouraging, in view of the fact
that the roll of honor can only be re-
duced by the passing of the soul of
some old hero from this world to the
next
