UndOne by Boast.

Apprehension of the trio in Indiana
was brought about through the boast
fulness of Marx, which also caused
his own undoing. While under the in
fiuence of liquor, he displayed a mag
aZine revolver of the kind known to
have been used by, the car barn muir
derers. He asserted that the police
would never take him alive.
This came to the notice of Capt.
Schuettler. Detectives Quinn and
Blaul were detailed to arrest Marx.
They found him Nov. 30 in a saloon.
When about to take him into custody,
Marx shot and killed Quinn and tried
to shoot Blaul and escape. but was
wounded and captured.
Several days later Marx. angered at
the failure of his companions to carry
ont n prearranged plan to dynamite
the police station in which he was
confined and secure his release. con-
fessed to the murders at the street
railway barn and implicated Neider-
meier and Van Dine. Marx told of other
desperate crimes they had committed,
and involved ROeski. Until this adj
mission, identity of the perpetrators
had remained a mystery.
Thursday evening, Nov. PC, less than
n week after the confession of Marx,
word was received that three men,
the description of the car
barn bandits. were in hiding near
Clark. Ind. Seven policemen went i'm
mediately to the town. arriving there
Friday morning. They were met by
Henry F. Richards, who reported the !
clew, and who had secretly traced the !
trio To a ''dugout" in the sand dunes |
where they were living.
With Richards as n guide the police, !
armed with rifles and revolvers and led ]
by Defective John III. Sheehan. waited |

Shredded Corn Stalks.

A Tribune reader in Sioux County,
Iowa, writes as follows:
''Do you consider shredded fodder
better to feed than whole stalks and
how should the stalks be handled to
make good shredded fodder?"
We have fed shredded or cut corn
stalk fodder for number of years
in our farm work and prefer it to
feeding the whole stalks. for the rea-
son that the whole fodder feeding
causes waste Of feed, is inconven-
lent to handle and makes no end of
trouble when it gets to the manure
heap. Then when fodder is cut or
shredded it is eaten more closely by
the stock and takes up less room in
the barn. In feeding value, good
shredded fodder is worth about as
much as timothy hay, ton for ton.
Shocks of corn should be left stand
ing in the field until we'll dried out.
Haul the fodder in when it is dry
and shred only when the atmosphere
is free from excessive moisture.
A few hours work with the shredder
or corn cutter will make enough feed
to last several days. If our sub
scriber has considerable amount of
corn stalks to feed this winter, we
would advise him by all means to
purchase a shredder. In our ex-
perience, we have found that one of
these machines paid for itself many
times over during the first season it
was used.-Farmer's Tribune.

Tariff Made Trusts.

The tariff question is business
proposition that concerns every man,
woman and child for it taxes the
average home $40 a year, or more
than one-tenth of the average fam
ily's total income. There is an aver
age of one and one-eigth tenths earn
ers in the average home. These
contribute thirty days labor each,
or fifty four days labor year to the
tarilf-tax collectors. If this $llO
went as honest taxes to our govern
ment to meet necessary expenditures,
no fault could be found though the
tax would be considered extremely
high. But only very small part of
this $llO can be classed as legiti-
mate taxes. By far the greater part
goes to million and billion dollar
tariff trusts and monopolies, which
thrive as never before in this coun-
try. These greedy trusts levy
tribute of $94 year upon the aver
age home while the government col
lects an average OF about Sl5 a year
in tariff taxes; the collection last
year amounted to $3.49 per capita,
or $l6.42 per family Of Al persons.
Do the heads Of these 100000
families, the voters knowingly and
willingly donate $94 year to the
hundreds of trusts? DO they love
these trusts more than they love
their wives and children? If not,
why should they vote to give this
S94 to trusts that do not need it
rather than to keep the S94 for
their families, who do need it? An
extra $94 year would mean much
to the average family in the way of
better food, clothing and education.
A vote for the democratic party
means vote to dispense with this
additional tax.-Waverly Democrat

his expenses going to and from
Washington and other places for
which he never would accept any re-
muneration. The dai,ymen must
not look for any such support again,
they have no right to accept it.
To-day we are a legally organized
body with a full board of officers,
formed for the express purpose of
looking after these matters, and it
stands the dairymen in hand to give
the matter their earnest attention.
All the cooperative creameries should
see to it that the matter is brought
up at their creamery meetings and
thoroughly discussed. If the Ma
tional Dairy Union has shown by its
past record that it is entitled to the
confidence and support of the dairy
men, see that it gets it in substan-
tlal manner; pass a resolution COM
mending our cause. We need your
moral as we'll as your financial sup
port. We must show to the country
a united front on this question and
willingness and determination to
fight to the bitter end in support of
a just law for our protection.

A Mnamnn.n pclusion,

Dean Pigou tells the following story
Of brilliant man who lost his mind
temporarily through oyerwork and was
confined In IN English asylum: "His
delusion was that his stomach was full
to repletion of rats. There was no
room for anything else Hood said to
me, Go and talk with him and lead
up to the subject of rnts.' l found
him, rs is very common, perfectly sane
on every subject but this. After some
conversation said to him, feigning not
to know who he was: You seem to be a
very well informed man. Have you
given your attention to natural history,
because l notice that the question is
being discussed rs to whether the spe-
cies of the genus rat called the Norwe-
giun still eXistsp Instantly he replied,
oh, certainly and unbuttoning his
dress, said, Every known species of
rat, sir, is here in my stomach and,
localizing the rat with his finger, said:
Here in this part of my stomach is a
Norwegian rat. You can assure your
friends that us long as am alive no
species can die Under the kind and
humane treatment Of Bethlehem he
was soon at work again and had, of
eourse, no recollection Of his delusion."

The Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Here is court which in its politi-
cal decisions does not follow what
one of the United States senators
has euphoniously called ''its convic-
tions." Instead, it follows legal
maxims and keeps its political con-
victions for their proper use in the
polling booth.
The decision which made LaFol-
lette the regular republican nomi-
nee for governor was reached by a
vote of three to one. At least two
Of the three judges who voted in
favor Of LaFollette are united by
long personal association with his
enemies.
Judge Winslow was for many
years law partner of Senator
Quarles. Judge Dodge was appoint
ed to his place in the court by Mr..
Scofeld, who is now the stalwart
candidate for governor Both Judge
Winslow and Judge Dodge, while
they could not be accused by their
bitterest enemies of interference in
politics, have contracted such close
friendships with the champions OF
the stalwart faction that they are
universally regarded as stalwart
sympathizers. But, though they
may sympathize personally, they
do not sympathize professionally.
Their decision in the LaFollette
case went directly athwart the inter-
ests of the men with whom they
have been intimate most of their
adult lives.
Judge Marshall, who concurred
with Judge Winslow and Judge
Dodge, is, as far as the newspaper
correspondents know, neutral. He
is not classified by his sympathiee
with either the stalwarts or the half
breeds. But Judge Siebecker, re-
lated to Governor LaFollette by
marriage, might have been expected
to vote with him. Instead, he die
not vote at all.
In days when court decisions art
often accurately predicted by a study
of previous political affiliations, i
is rebuke to the cynical that in ont
of the most momentous political de
cisions of recent years, the Wiscon
sin Supreme Court should hav,
shown itself so far above all consid
erations except those of law. Judg
Cassody, it is true, who was the onl,
Judge holding against LaFollette
is stalwart. But when his breth
rem behaved SO disinterestedly, tn
assumption is that he also is remov
ed from party motives, and his rec
ord bears out that assumption.
1t is fortunate that the law in til
LaFollette case happened to be sucl
that the Supreme judges of tn
state could give the country S
striking an instance of the subme1
gence Of personal and political bia
in legal truth. Chicago Tribune.

Prof. James Brice of England,
author of "The American Common
wealth, has begun a series of lee
lures before the Columbia law school.
In the first of these lectures, he
praised the American law schools,
saying: mo part of your system of
education here in the United States
strikes visitors more forcibly than
the efficient means provided for the
education OF lawyers. Your schools
are much better than any in Eng
land and that is because the Ameri-
cans realize that there is science
of law"
