LEvEE IN PRISON.
Nan Patterson Receives Newspaper
Men in the Tonbs.

New York. April 29.-Nan Patterson
received a number of newspaper men in
the prison today and talked with them
freely regarding her case. The inter
view was arranged by her counsel, but
none of them was present at the meet
ing. During the talk she sat beside her
sister just outside the door of their cell.
Miss Patterson said she was thoroughly
in accord with the decision Of her
counsel not to put in a defense. She
praised the courage Of Mr.. Levy, her
chief counsel in daring to submit the
case to the jury on the prosecutions
evidence. I am not at all afraid Of
anything that Midget has said on the
stand" she said as she placed her hand
on her sisters arm. ITO me Mr.. Rands 5
action was more amusing than serious;
knowing as I do that he offered Midget
her freedom if she would testify as he
nervous when one WIS so badgered as
was Julia Although he tried very hard
he did not do me any harm, at least
that is what 1 think.
But did you ever see anything so
shameful, she continued, "as his
offer to my sister of her freedom if
she would promise to testify against
me?"
The sisters then embraced. and then
Nan said to her sister, Don't you
think the same way. Midget?" You
bet I do" replied her sister. "They
could not make me say anything that
would hurt you, Nan Anyhow, there
is nothing I could say that would hurt
you"
Miss Patterson continued: What do
you think of Mr. Eand's showing the
letter I wrote to Leslie Coggins. That
letter is the one letter that every girl
at least once in her life writes was
not on good terms with Caesar Young
at that time. I was practically engaged
to MI Coggins. He professed to love
me very much, but now ] feel sure he
was playing me false. Mr.. COggins
came to see me last summer in my cell
here in the prison. He gave me $50. He
told me how sorry he was for me and
ne said, remember his words: Nan,
now you see what a mistake you have
made by not marrying me.
Il believe now 4gat all the time ne
was calling on me he was acting in the
interest Of Millen."
Just then Mr.. Patterson came in
and both of the women embraced him
and Mrs. Smith said: Here's a letter
from the folks at home" Then Nan
showed him a picture, the original of
a drawing. It showed Miss Patterson
seated, reading some letters. Instead
of being behind bars she was covered
with a bower OF roses. The drawing
was by a woman and back of the
sketch was written these words:
May this transformation take
place quickly"
Nan turned to the reporters and
said: "I feel sure that that picture
will come out true"

Il have not found L.eavenwoTth an
especially promising field for our work

cutor and attorney for the enforcement
of the prohibition law and he has been
very successful all over the state. There
is considerable talk that he viii come

He has recently taken charge OF the
work of closing up the joints Of Tonga

Santa Fe officials Meet Oil Men to
Fix Rates.

Kansas City, Mo, April 29.-The Of
ficers of the Kansas OIL Producers as
sociation and the Chautauqua Oil Pro-
ducers' association met in executive
session with J. E. German, general
traffic manager and J. r. Koontz, gem
eral freight agent of the Santa F'e rail-
way here. The purpose of the meet
ing was to hear the answer of the rail-
way company to the request of the oil
men, made some time ago, for certain
interstate rates on crude oil in tank
cars.
1T is wrong to suppose" said Mr..
German, that the Santa F'e railway is
not deeply interested in the develop
ment of the Kansas field and that it
will not do everything within reason to
further its interests. We intend to see
If it is not possible to give them every
thing they ask for in the meeting today

asked for have been granted -

We finished off with pie The landlord
didn't commit himself by giving it any
particular name. He just set it before
us as xxx pie, and left US to select a name
to please. I had just dubbed mine mince
pie when the Chicago man broke out. He
had found sticks and stones and bones
and feathers and broken dominoes in his
and he swore by the beard of his father
that he wouldn't call it lemon pie if he
died for it. I tried to talk to him about
the interstate railroad commission. and
bobbed from that to the Panama canal
and the love feast between OdeI and PIatt
but he stood right up on his hind legs and
into his own coffin.
I saw the landlord disappear by side
door, and I took out my pad and began
to write an obituary notice.
Five minutes later, as 1 followed the
kicker out Of doors, he was seized by an
indignant and humiliated crowd and hung
to a blackjack tree. I must say that they
hanged him as gently as they could and
yet take the feelings of the landlord into
consideration, and that the spot selected
for his planting Y as chosen with a view
to proyer drainage and aesthetic sur
roundings.
The coroner's jury didn't detain us In
deed, the jury was making up its verdict
as the kicker was kicking, and when he
had ceased to take any farther interest
in the stews and beans and pies of New
Mexico the coroner advanced and pinned
a placard to the tenderfOot's breast. It
read: Died of heart disease

Tornado.

Signs and Roofs Went Flying
Through the Air.

Laredo, Tex, April 2s.-via Bermuda,
Tex--This city was last night visited
by a terrific tornado. The loss of life
is estimated at between 20 and Is per
sons, and the damage to property is
large.
The storm began after midnight. Rain
fell in torrents accompanied by heavy
hail. The wind began blowing at hurri-
cane velocity and roofs and signs began
to fly through the air. The wind
wrought havoc with houses telegraph
poles, shade trees and everything that
came within it's path.
The huts occupied by the poorer
classes were first levelled to the
ground and as the wind increased in
force the more substantially construct
ed buildings were unroofed and in
many instances demolished. The
lightning flashed vividly and con-
tinuously. adding to the fears of the
people. The storm lasted about an
hour and subsided almost as quickly
as it came.

These figures are stirring up health
officials all over the country.
However, here are some additional
census facts that throw new light on
the increase:
In 1850 the census reported deaths

Bright's Disease.
In 1880 of the 37.549 deaths that
year from Kidney Disease, over half

These figures disclose that the dis
tressing increase in Bright's Disease is
not so much due to the sudden de-
velopment of the disease as to the fact
that what we have in the past called
Kidney Disease is in about nine-tenths
of all cases Bright's Disease, and the
deaths are now so reported.

for grazing purposes. Thus the indi-
vidual who draws a homestead will
be doubly lucky, for not only will
he have 100 acres of as fine agricul-
tural land as there is in the West, but
he also will have the privilege of using
a vast acreage of grazing ground
which cannot be irrigated, but which
is rich in succuIent grasses and which
has been used as pony range by
the Crows for generations. The main
canal to frrigate the homesteads will
be taken from the Big Horn, and the
supply of water is inexhaustible. The
proceeds of the sale of the land will
be used by the Crows to benefit their

good results.
Peppers like a rich moist soil.
\ soil that has been previously
well fortified with stable
manure for other crops will
grow good peppers. 200 pounds
of phosphoric acid added to such
soils will pay we'll. Avoid the
use of too much nitrogen, as
there is danger OF too much

fruit.
