The trial of this remarkable woman
was one of the most memorable in
the history of Kansas. She had ample
means and had retained able counsel.
Col. Hallowell, in his capacity as
United States attorney, represented
the prosecution, as the crime had
been committed in the Indian terri
tory, where there were no local
courts. The government array of
circumstantial evidence was mar
shaded before the jury with much
skill and force by Col Hallowell, and
a display Of correlated facts produced
that would have caused an ordinary
defendant to weaken. But the little
blue-eyed woman remained as calm,
as the discriminating circumstances
were piled up against her, as she had
been from the first. Counsel for the
defense made the best of the some
what meager case they mad, but when
the evidence was all in there was

lawyers Col. Hallowell said to me:
I'VE are up against it. Every man
on that jury knows she is guilty, and
not one of them will vote for convic.

Merchants of Hardin County Form an
Organization for Trade Protection.
Eldora, Sept. IA. - Merchants from
every town and city in Hardin county
were present here and formed a per-
manent organization to protect them
selves against the large catalogue
houses of Chicago. R. L. Green of Peru
was present and told Of the work Of
similar organizations elsewhere The
purpose of the organization is also to
disseminate useful information regard
ing credit to which local parties are
entitled. Such local organization
has been in successful operation for
some time and it is expected that the
expansion to take in the county will
render it's work more valuable. This
county organization includes every
branch of the retail trade; for some
time the hardware men and druggists
have had effective organizations for
mutual protection and it is now pro-
posed to extend the work into all
branches of the trade. There is no
display about the new organization,
but in quiet earnest way it is hoped
to make the effort to restrain patron
age of catalogue houses effective; it
will be the object to discourage all
such trade; home patronage will be
the watchword The officers of the
organization are as follows: F. l..
Spencer, who is in the general mer-
chandise business at Alden, president;
Frank Martin of Ackley, also a gener-
al merchant is vice president; Fred
Mcneil, dealer in clothing and shoes,
at Eldora is secretary and H. P.
Smith of Shipley Smith & Co., of
Iowa Falls, is treasurer.

cEEDs THE PREVIOUS
HIGH RECORDS.
GOVERNMENT REPORT
Figures Issued by Department Of Az
rcuture Are Hish-other Grains
Show Good Increase and Good
Conditions in Farming Districts Are
Assured.

There is to be bumper corn crop
that will exceed all others in past
years. The government crop report
just given out by the department of
agriculture suggests the largest crop
ever raised, 2,625, 100000 bushels. This
is 100,000,000 bushels ahead of the big
crop of 1902, and suggests yield of
31,000,000 bushels more than last
month and 15S,000,000 bushels in ex-
cess of last year. There has seldom
been a year when the changes during
the month of August were so light as
in the past month. The loss in the in
dicated crop of wheat, as compared
with month ago is only 100000
bushels and in oats and barley of g.
100000 bushels each, while rye re-
mainded unchanged. There is to be
the largest aggegrate crop on record
this year as result of the enormous
corn crop, wheat crop above the av-
erage, and yield of oats the second
largest on record. The aggregate of
all grains is 4,36O,00O,OOO bushels or
nearly 300,000,O0O bushels more than
last year and 537,000,000 bushels more
than in 1903. The good feature of this
enormous yield is that it comes at a
time when the bins of the country are
about empty so that there is expected
to be demand for it all before anoth.

is not the charity that temporarily re-

charity that relieves people and

it certain.
