Que OF tha fSest tributes to the coun-
try Newspaper that has ever been ron
dersd was contained in = recent address
by Senator Chancey NJ Depew before
the New York Press Association. Mr..
Depev said: .
~ pay my respects to and express my
admiration for the country editor. His
lines are not cast in the Places of great
and profitable organs Of tho metropolis,
whose proata are reconed often by the
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars every
year. Bat the country editor lives in
and is part Of his community. His virtue
is net 80 nach in what he prints as what
he refuses to print. He cosdd easily des-
troy the peace Of the eonmnnity by ad-
hitting to his paper the scandal and
gossip OF the neighbors, but he stand q
censor and guardian Of public morals
ana know of no conditions under which
the public Il appealed to in certain
measure where the utterance Is SO free
from criticism as the general tone Of tht
country newspaper"

to b assured of results Is through

times the results 1t would il spent
in advertising in a daily news
paper. Why?
4 Because the daifys rates are
usually from twice to four times

4 Because tho daily is the paper

y Because the columns Of the

extola them.
Z Because the ciH editor is a

ers, while the country editor is
} one Of his eommunity-he mixes
and mingles with his readers and

Trial Again POSTPONED.

New York, April 1.-THE trial of
Nan Patterson was again adjourned this
loorning until tomorrow, pending GER
tain injunction proceedings brought by
counsel of J. Morgan Smith to secure a
re urn of The Smith letters seized by AS
sistant Attorney Garyan while out in
Cincinnati. The prosecution has dis
covered a new witness, who will be call
ed during the trial. The witness is Mrs.
Thomas Burns, who assisted Mrs. Will
liam Luse, sister of Mrs. Young, in
housework It came to the ears of
counsel for the defense that Mrs. Burns
was present the night before the shoot
ing IT the Luse's home aud Young was
intoxicated, and while 10 that condition
drew a revolver in spirit of bravado.
Mrs. Burns was questioned about the
affair, and her story quickly made her a
witness Tor the State. She said that
Young was dining at the Luse home the
night before the shooting, and that he
seemed very nervous Mrs. Burns said
that Mllin, the racing partner of Young,
asked hin what was the matter, and
Young replied "nothing Finally Millin
said. "You want to look out for that
girl, Caesar She is dangerous " Mrs.
Burns said that Young made some an
swer, whereupon Mrs. Young said that
if any one harmed her husband she
would take the revenge in her own
hands. The District Attorney heard Of
the circumstance and will call Mrs.
Burns to testify.
The postponement OF the case until
tomorrow brought out the fact that the
j. Morgan Smith letters seized in Gin
cinnati are considered by the District
Attorney to be convincing evidence of
the Flora fora girls guilt

The Taggart Divorce Case.

Wooster. Ohio, April 1.-THE di-
vorce case of Major Elmore F. Taggart, Of
the United States army, against Mrs.
Grace Viola Culver Taggart, will come
up for trial here this week. The case
has furnished army society with much
gossip. When Taggart filed a petition
for divorce he made the complaint that
Mrs. Taggart was unfit to care for their
two little boys that she had been guilty
OF gross neglect of her marital duties,
and intimated that she had been indis-
Greet with other men, but mentioned no
names.
Mrs. Taggart in her answer and cross
petition charged cruelty, said that he
had on one occasion broken her jaw,
that he was drunk at the time the deed
was committed, and that he was guilty
of infdelity. Major Taggart has just
filed an amended petition and answer.
After charging that Mrs. Taggsrt is ad-
dicted to cigarettes and inioxicants, he
SAYS that IN one occasion she and the
wife of brother officer and other wo-
men engaged in contest to -see who
could drink the most liquor. He says
that she coDspired with an army
colony and had him (raggarD arrested
and charged with acute alcoholism. He
charges his wife with infdelity and gives
the names of several officers of promi-
nence with whom he says she was un-
duly intimate. Mrs. Taggart denies all
of Taggart's allegations, and says that
she has word from two of the officers
Taggart accuses ofwrong-doing that they
will be present when the case comes up
for trial to give evidence 10 her behalf.
Mrs. Taggart has been living here some
months with her two little boys
