DOOMS WOMAN
VERDICT OF GUILTY IN MURDER
TRIAL OF MRS. MYERS OF
KANSAS CITY.

Liberty. Mo-, June 12-Blood-gu
of the most atrocious character was
fixed upon Mrs. Agnes Myers of Kan
sas City by jury which rendered its
verdict Sunday after an all-night ses-
sion. The verdict which closes one
of the most CHASTITY murder cases ever
tried In this state, means that the
woman will be hanged.
No obstacle of popular sympathy or
of chivalrous sentiment stands be-
tween her and the fatal moose, for the
crime Of which she has been convicted
is SO black that it repels the pity usual
ly accorded her sex. With her para
mour, she came upon her own husband
sleeping, and butchered him in his
bedroom. The blame cannot be
heaped upon the shoulders of the man,
for it was the woman's cunning that
laid the plot, and the woman's hands
tnat were blood-stained when the
struggles of the victim had ended.

My wife and used coffee regularly

occasionally for supper-always the

could find a place on our table.
In the spring Of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
cit seemed to come from coffee
drinking, but we could not decide.
3 :" In the following July, however, she
vomiting. I was away from home fill
ing an appointment, at the time, and
on my return l found her very low;
she had literally vomited herself al
most to death, and it took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
ssI lad also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
relieved it, each time, by a resort tc
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use of coffee was al
the bottom Of our troubles, and SO we
tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms Of
disease disappeared, and during tn,

ROGERS IS OPTIMISTIC
SAYS CORRESPONDENTS DATA
INDICATES THAT WHEAT CROP
. WILL BE A BIG ONE. 80

G. D. Rogers, secretary of the Mime
apolis Chamber of Cimmerce, thinks the
wheat crop will be big one, and in the
Minneapolis Market Record says:
The Market Record has received re-
ports from correspondents turnout Min
nesota and North and South Dakota.
From a careful compilation Of them it
appears that the present indicated
wheat yield is 16 bushels per acre in
North Dakota, 147k bushels in South Da-
kota and Is bushels in Minnesota. Fa-
vorable weather from now until after the
grain is secured would tend tot improve
present prospects, while unfavorable
weather would, of course, have the OPP
posite effect. The reports are from men
who are in the grain busfness-millers
grain buyers, etc. We publish them with
out comment other than in saying that
the estimated yields, based ON the gov
eminent figures of acreage. indicate the
possibility of crop Of about 100000 00
bushels for Minnesota and the two Da-
kotas this year. - e4
