TO JAIL

The hearing in the Habeas Corpu.
proceedings instituted TO secure tEt
release of Elmer ,ssHalderman charged
with assault and attempt to rob in
connection with the holdup at the
hotel of w. H. n. Walker OH the even.
ing of July 3, 1905, took place in the
! Court House Monday eve before Judge
Staples, of Monroe county. The hear
ing was conducted very expeditiously,
aud occupied but little more than &c
minutes. The writ. however. was
dismissed and the defendant was Ie.
manded to the custody of the Sheriff.
A good deal of interest ccntered in
the proceedings and large crowd as,
sembled in the Court room. The first
witness called was W. H. n. Walker,
the owner of the hotel that was inyad-
ed on the evening of July 3rd, He re-
lated the incidents of the hold-up as
printed in these columns at the time,
explaining that while he recognized
Barrett, whose mask he pulled off, he
was not sure as to the identity of the
other man.
The next witness was Richard Nc
Oormick. 1t was upon his testimony
that the most interest centCrnd, as it
was he who identified Halder man. Nc
Cormiok briefly related what he knew
concerning the holdup. lie was i'll
Kemmer's s hotel, he said. when Mr..
Walkers son came running in with the
news that his father was leld up aud
the hotel was being robbed. He ran
out and along with Harry Waite and
Sam Haas, was making his way TO
Walkers hotel when they were met
by two men each having revOIve T
who held them up and demanded to
know what they wanted. One of the
men he recognized as Barr, tt and the
other as Halderman. Mccormick and
his companions halted for moment
while Barrett and the man with him
ran down the alley by Walkers hotel
Mccormick was not at all doubtful
in the matter He emphatically stated
that he recognized Halderman in the
man who stood by the side Of Barrett
when the latter drew the revolver and
a moment later ran down the alley
with Barrett. The mask which the
fellow wore in the hotel had then
dropped from his face and rested on
his shoulders. In this belief he could
not be shaken in cross examination
and repeated that he was positive that
the man was Halderman.
Arthur Walker also testified. He
told n story that was exciting enough
in its detail but il lack ed any evidence
that would fasten the crime on Hald
erman, for while his father succeeded
III pulling the mask from the face of
one of the men the other kept his
countenance concealed.
The Court was briefly address by
District Attorney Ralph Kisner. who
claimed that prima facie case had
been made out. He was briefly fol.

Attn point did the proceedings lag.
The Court recalled Richard McOor-
mick and asked him few questions
as to the location of Walkers hotel in
it's relation to the alley and then la
conically said:
Il think We will hold this man.
The court then proceeded to make
the order formally. He asked Halder-
man whether he could procure bail,
and finding that he could not he dl-
rected that he be remanded to the Gus
tody of the Sheriff to be produced at
Court for trial on September 25th.

BIACARONT WHEAT.

Macaroni wheat as brought from Rms
STA is a spring wheat. and Kansas farm
ers are accustomed to the winter varie-
ties, the kind that can be sown in the
fall and used for pasturage all winter
without being killed by the cold
weather. Macaroni wheat is great
drOuth-resister. and for that reason it is
extremely valuable for the westerly
plains where the rainfall is somewhat
uncertain. Tt is also a great producer in
years that are not too wet.
The agricultural experts at the Man
haitian experiment station are now try
ing to breed it into winter wheat
which will increase its value to the
western Kansas farmer. One variety
has been found that has passed through
two winters without winter-kilIing. and
it is hoped that it may be made so
hardy that it viii stand the severest

Is NEW YORK POPUITsTTC9

A few years ago New York and the
east generally could not say harsh
enough things about Kansas because
Kansas was "PoDulistic." The state
was pictured as a region of wfld-eyed
heretics and cranks who were only wait
ing for an opportunity to destroy and
despoh the wealthy. And it was all
because Kansas was registering a pro-
test against greed and oppression.
Now it is New York's turn. Kansas
is no longer pouring it's wealth into
New York to pay interest and principal
on mortgages. and New York is begin
ming to be afraid OK the big fnanciers,
and the vote in New York last week was
an indication of their fear.
The seed of alarm because of the
money power" has reached the east, and
now it is Kansas turn to scott. The
difference is that Kansas won't abuse
the east as the. east abused Kansas.
because Kansas knows how it goes;
but Kansas and the west will act con-
servatively to keep the east from go
ing too far.
In discussing the growth of Socialistic
ideas in the country, the New York
World says: "A great wave of discon-
tent is sweeping over the country which
is manifesting itself in the form of So
cialistic remedies for political and eco
nOmic evils. The great corporations are
largely responsible for the radiealism
that is rampant everywhere.
The real leaders in this movement are
not the organs and the Hearsts and the
DUNES and the Johnsons and the

Armours, the Morgans, the Swifts. the

Ten years ago Pingree was de-
nounced as an anarchist. Today Pin

The Presidents Railway Fares.

The letter of a correspondent in the
current Harper's Weekly says that
while it may be true that the "advertis-
ing advantage" derived from President
Roosevelt's travelling over a railroad
affords compensation for fares, what
right has a company to sacrifice its
stockholders money in this manner.
The writer says also that the advertis-
ing value must be very vague and
sentimental, whereas it is the business
of railway operators to be guided by
strictly commercial spirit. The answer
of the editor is:
There is nothing vague or senti-
mental about it. The railway com
pany collects thousands of dollars
from passengers who travel to hear
the president speak. Indeed, the spirit
is so thoroughly commercial that there
is very keen rivalry among the corpo-
rations for the privilege of transport
ing the presidential party. Wholly
characteristic of Mr.. Roosevelt, by
the way. when he thought he ought
perhaps to pay his own fare, was his
decision that doing SO would be silly.
He was quite right. of course.

on. A man works all his life and thinks
he has done a wonderful thing if, with

young fellow or other and pretends she
thinks him charming. and he makes her
a peeress on the spot.''-Harper's Week
