ADVERSELY CAME:
HIS WIFE LEFT
SAD CONDITION OF POOR MAN
AND FAMILY.
Invalid Father and Children Deserted
in Hour Of Need, The Mother Taking
One Child With Her-Landlord Had
Threatened to Turn Them Out When
Relief Came ..,

Crowded into small sleeping room
and kitchen on Eighth street S six
months baby, sick boy Of ten and an
invalid father We're found by the Sal
walton Army. The family was abso-
lutely destitute and the landlord had
given notice that the rent must be paid
or they must move. Three days ago the
wife deserted the children and hershus-
band, taking her three'year.olda daugh-
ter. c*a9g
s'It is the worst case of restitution
I have ever investigated, said Captain
Miller, head Of the relief department, to-
day. EThe room was unspeakably
dirty and there was little or no furni-
ture except abed and bunk and a
small heater used as a cook stove. The
little boy is sick in bed and the baby, a
pretty little blue-yed tot, was in a pitt
able condition. Since the mother has
left, the baby has been fed on any milk
that could be procured and just as it
came from the grocer, cold"
The case is an example Of a family
that has been used to prosperity and
is unable to cope with adversely. The
expert blacksmith. Until his health
| broke down he never allowed his wife
| to work. When his strength gave out
she refused to help, and when he strag-
gled home after hard days work,
| the neighbors say, she would send him
back for groceries, and then he would
prepare the supper. A 12-year-old son
was sent to work on farm.
The army believes that a home can
| be found for the baby. A doctor is
| being paid to attend the boy and ar
rangements are being made for the
father. They have already received
some aid from the Associated Charities

'CONNORS Lied
BEFORE HE DIED
WOULDN'T TELL TRUTH ABOUT
HIS SHOOTING.
Colored Minstrel Said That Revolver
Was Fired by Livers, Another Player:
Also That It Was an Accident-Any-
how, There's No Way Of Furnishing
Any One Now.

There will be no inquest in the case
OF Richard Connors, colored, a member
of the Williams and Walker theatrical
company, who died at the city hospital
yesterday.
There will be no Indictment or any
accusation of murder If Connors
death was caused by revolver shot
fired by John Livers, fellow actor,
the murderer will be allowed to 90 un-,
punished, since, under the circumstances,
a conviction would be impossible.
| Clrcumstantial evidence seems to
point to Livers as the man responsible
for Connors' death, and last Tuesday
the wounded man said to Assistant
County Attorney John Bernhagen that
Livers shot him. He also told Theo.
dore Hays, manager Of the Biiou; DR..
r. ID. Towers, who first attended him,
and Miss Gibbs, nurse, that his fellow
performer fired the shot. He said that
he and Livers had dispute; that Liv-
both men rushed for the weapon, but
that Livers got it and fired what proved
to be the fatal shot. .s .-..
These statements are offset by a num-
Der of others that Connors made pre-
viously to the effect that Livers did
not shoot him.
| Even if the later statements were I'M
contradicted they would not be admis-
sible as evidence against 4Livers, since
they were not in the form of a legal
ante-mortem statement. When they
were made the patient did not expect
to die, and, not being made in the pres
ence Of the accused, they would only be
self-serving declarations and not
proper testimony. ~ " a.
Even if other evidence could be found
the defendant would be hard to get.
He is in Pittsburg with the troupe and
the witnesses are now all out of the
state and could not be brought back
under the law that witnesses are not
extraditable.

Talk of Rusted Wheat for Seeding
P1IrnoSea

Before a lineup Of half a regiment,
and to the accom- animent of a brass
band, the good-seed special on the Mil
waukee that left Minneapolis Monday
morning, pulled in yesterday at Web
ster, s. D. Interest in the special had
grown to the bursting point, and when
the party of good-seed advocates had
disembarked, the crowd let out a
mighty yell the band d. blew off and tive
marched upon the courthouse, where, in
the midst Of enthusiasm almost equal
to that Of presidential campaign: the
meeting was held.
Good-seed doctrine was handed out
verbally and in the printed form, Tues
day, at Wheaton, Graceville, Ortonville,
Wilmot and Milbank. Sixteen hundred
farmers attended these meetings.. AT
Summit, Britton, Andover and at Cogs.

Rusted-Wheat Seed.
The question Of using the rustet
wheat grows an interest, and the recent
story in The Journal Of success
full experiments in sowing the rustec
seed on the Dalrymple farms In North
Dakota, has brought it even more
prominently to the front.
Dean W. M. Liggett Of the state az
ricultural college urges great carr
in the use of this rusted wheat fo1
seed, where the wheat is light in weight
Grain men believe this is good advice
The indiscriminate use Of rusted wheat
has never been advocated, and in the
experiments recently made, the seeC
was obtained by use of tanning mill
That rusted seed will terminate is set
tied beyond doubt. That it is advisable
to- sow such wheat is by no means Ger
tain. ' .5
In 1873 the crop on the Oliver Dial
rymple farm, in Minnesota, was badly
| affected by rust, and the next crop wal
| put in from the old wheat. No rus
developed, and a good crop was raised
in 1879. This is not conclusive ar
gument, however, in favor of usin,
rusted wheat for seed. ~

Senator A. D. Stephens Of Crookston

This would permit the state to conduct
an extensive system of drainage and dis

stands, is a bar to that sort Of business,
as it requires all proceeds from the sale

persons as soon as they die and then
send a letter and pair Of spectacles
by mail to the address of the dead per-
son. The letter says that the specta-
cles have been forwarded as per order
and the bill is, 81. The sentiment of
the situation Immediately appeals to the

the spectacles as a memento Of the
dead, something ordered and never
worn. The package is paid for and
kept as a remembrance. The specta-
cles are worth about IS cents. -
