Newton. Feb. e5.-W. ]. Bryan and
his Thousand dollar heifer" may yet
be heard from in the trial of the Jack
son case which is still engaging the
attention of the court here. 1t is in
timated by the defense that Mr.. Bryan
will be here to testify for Mr.. jackson.
Oct. 90 1901. Mr.. Bryan spoke in this
city and was afterward driven to the
Harrah farm where he was presented
with fine heifer from Mr.. Harrah's
herd Jackson and his wife were guests
of Hurrahs at the time and 1t will be
the purpose of the defense to show
that Mr.. Bryan overheard the CONVEX
sation. or a part of 1t. in which 1t is
claimed by the state that Mr.. Jackson
made false representations of his
financial condition to the Harrahs.
On the other hand Mr.. Harrah pro-
fesses to be hoping that Mr.. Bryan
will be present, as the state would
profit by his testimony to greater de-
gree than would the defense. 1t IS
hardly probable. however. that Mr..

THE RUSSO-JAP WAR
w. n. FETZER DELIVERS AN IN.
TEREsTING PAPER ON CON.
TRovERsY in FAR EAST.
Stirring Discussion Follows the Paper
At the Meeting of the Brotherhood
of ST. Paul, Held at the Home of
II. I. Waterman-The Paper.

That the meeting of the Brotherhood
of st. Paul held last evening at the
home Of H. L. Waterman, 232 East
Fifth street, at which an eloquent pa
per on the Russo-Japanese war was
delivered, was the most interesting
one held thus far this season, was
plainly evidenced by the stirring dis,
cussions which followed the reading OF
the paper.
w. H. Fetzer delivered the paper in
very excellent manner. He told OF
his idea of the war in the far east, de-
Tending Russia because of its Christi
anity and because of it's friendship to
this country when in need. The paper
was decidedly against the Japanese
and therefore the unusual heated dis,
cussion. The paper was exceptionally
interesting owing to its appropriate
ness at the present time.
The Program.
Preceding the reading of the paper
on the Russo-Japanese war, a short
musical program was given. Miss Al
bertha Scheiwe gave violin
solo, Frank Daggett rendered vocal
asio. and Miss Sigma Hoaglund sang
solo. DR.. A. e. Craig deliver.
ed short prayer and the reports OF
the various committees were read.
Following the discussion of the paper,
dainty refreshments were served by
Mrs. Waterman.
The Paper.
Mr.. Fetzer's paper is given as fol
lows:
"My Friends:

pliment of an invitation from your
