TRIAL OF THE PACKERS
 PROGRESSING SLOWLY
Only Three Jurors at the End of the
 Second Day.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-Three jurors, two of whom are carpenters and one a real estate dealer from the interior of the state, have been accepted by both the government and the defendant packers lawyers in the "beef trust" case now at bar before Judge Humphreys. Con siderable difficulty in securing compe- tent men is being met with, and during the days examination of veniremen clashes between opposing counsel were frequent. When court adjourned to- n ght each side had exhausted three Of their seven peremptory challenges.
 It developed today that Commission CT of Corporations Garfield and his chief assistant, Dr. E. A. Durand, have practically become witnesses for the defense inasmuch as MT. Garfield has been served with a subpoena duces te- cum, issued at the instance of the de- fense, to produce every book, paper, record, or report he has now or did have, and be ready to testify concern ing it. By this it is declared the de- fense will endeavor to show that Gar field mas sworn statements in his po- session which were made by the pack CTS during GSrfield's Investigation of the business methods of the beef trust and that in view of this fact the packers have gained immunity from criminal prosecution.

When asked about the decision of the court of appeals refusing an order to open the ballot boxes, he said that that was only one of the many aven- ues along which his counsel were working.
 A'The contest is by no means over," said MT. Hearst "One line of action is closed to us, but there are others where the contest will progress rapidly. Per sonally I would almost venture to hope that I might lose as I am not in the position of a man seeking an office for itself. I know that the duties would be confining and arduous and that I should have to give a great deal of attention to the work. My position is that of a citizen fighting for the rights of those who voted for him upon definite platform that they want to see upheld. I did not seek the nomi- nation, but under the circumstances or election, of which you know, l shall carry on the fight with all the re- sources at my command"

Farmers h0!-COrn.

Say, can't Won join with us and
send sample of your hest ten ears
of corn to the contest to be held at
Ames, January to 10? The contest
is gotten up by the farmers and fov
J the farmers. We are all planning to
send some corn to this contest. And
we know that we would win more pre-
miums and more II onev just to keep
is not what is desired. Much more
good would be done if several hun
dred farmers would each send their
best sample in, and make the exhibit
from this district the very best that
could be. One that would excel not
only anything from the western
portion of the state but the southern
as we'll, which would be possible this
year more than any other year for
some time past, for corn is better ac-
cordingly in the mort. ern than in the
southern part of the state. You get
your corn back, and if you enter
according TO the rules, you will have
MANY opportunities to win premiums.
Three two-row corn plows, besides
manv other usual farm utensils =
planters, single row plows, ETC., are
given away. Also one hundred and
fifty. five premiums in silver. And in
many counties the leading banks give
$50 or $50 directly to the farmer
for the best corn from their county.
If you wish the rules or further
information write at once to D. l..
Pascal, Dewitt, Iowa. Or if we could
help you we would be glad to do it.
If by freight, send your sample in to
the Agronomy Department, Ames,
Iowa, by, say, Dec. 26, wrapping corn
extra we'll. Get your friends to send
corn in with you and lesson your
freight or express. Do not stop be-
cause you do not think your corn is
good enough, but let us go in together
and make it lively in this contest for
the farmers from other parts of the
state. J. W. Campbell, G. f. Buck
