BURTON FILES
A PLEA IN BAR
Demurrer to the Indictment Was
0yerruled.
TRIAL SET FOR MONDAY
LOOPHOLE FOR ESCAPE YET
REMAINS.

ut LOUIS, Mo. Nov. 15.-United
States Circuit Judge Van Devan-
ter today overruled the demurrer
filed yesterday TO the Indictment OF
United States Senator Burton of Kan
sas.
The trial OF Senator Burton. on the
charge of having used his influence
before the postoffice department in be-
half of the Rialto Grain & Securities
company of st. Louis to prevent the
issuance of a fraud order against the
company, is set for next Monday.
Points Raised.
The demurrer Overruled by Judge
Van DeVanter was based on two counts
i'm the indictment and set forth the con-
tention that Senator Burton had re-
ceiYed compensation for services from
a concern against which charges were
pending was vague in that il did not
specify the exact nature of the pro-
ceedings said to be pending. The sec
ond objection raised in the demurrer
was that il was not specifically stated
in the Indictment that Senator Burton
knew of the proceedings against the
company by the pOstOfiice department
when, it was alleged, he received COM
pensation.
Objections oVerruled.
As to the first objection in the de-
murrer, Judge Van Devanter said:
1T seems to me that the fact charged
was that a proceeding was pending.
This same point was raised on the pre-
vious indictment. and since then i
have made a very close study of this
feature of the case. and il seems TO
me that the proceeding is sufficiently
described in the Indictment IL il im-
material how that proceeding came tn
be pending. 1t is material only that a
proceeding was pending"
AS TO the second objection, Judge
Van DeVanter said:
II am strongly persuaded that one
could not receive compensation under
these circumstances without knowing
that proceedings were under way or
We're about to be begun"
Indictment Well Drawn.
Concluding his opinion, he said:
las TO the indictment in this case. I
am of the opinion that the district at
torney could not well have prepared an
Indictment more in accord with the
requirements of the statute"
Attorneys representing Senator Bur
ton this afternoon filed a plea in bar
to prosecution under this indictment.
This plea is based on the verdict in the
| trial of Senator Burton almost two
years ago, which found him guilty on
certain charges in the indictment and
not guilty on other charges. He was
found not guilty of having received
4 compensation from an officer of the
Rialto company The plea IN bar sets
forth that having previously been ac-
quilted on this specific charge he cam
/ not a second time be placed in jeopardy
for the same Offense.
Arguments viii be heard before Judge
Van DeVanter tomorrow morning.

scAREs AWAY THE RATS.
How Ingenious Woman Insures Safety
in the Mornino.

How Ingenious Woman Insures Safety
in the Morning.
An Augusta hotel is more or less in
tested with rats, and naturally the
rats have a love for the department
where the food is prepared. The help
is largely feminine, and while none of
them has any fellow feeling for the
rodents, there is one who stands in
mortal fear of them.
She, with the others, occupies
rooms on the floor above, and one of
the hardest hours of the day is when
she gets up in the morning and makes
her way to the kitchen. She had rath-
er meet old Nick himself than a rat,
and she also feels that she is liable
on going downstairs, to meet one on
every step. Therefore, in order to
prevent anything of the kind. she has
provided a means of averting it that
is simple, yet effective.
On her trunk, within reach of the
bed, she keeps ten or twelve tin lard
pail covers and when in the morning
she has donned her raiment she care
fully opens the door of her room and
taking cover, lets it go down the
stairs. The rattle of the tin on the
stairs gives her courage, and with
the other covers in her hand she
starts down the stairs. When she has
descended two or three stairs she lets
go another cover and makes another
advance. This goes on until she has
reached the foot of the stairs, when,
after opening the kitchen door very
carefully, she throws the remaining
covers across the floor or up against
the range.
By this time she has convinced her
self that not rat is left in the kitch-
en-, and with a sigh of relief she be-
gins her days work.-Kennebec Jour
nal.

lore doing that, however, it might be
well to fill privately a wine glass with
clear lime water and hold it up to the
light for the company to see, telling
them that it is the Fluid of Fortune
When your victim seats himself
at the table with you, say something
like this:
THE crystal water will tell you the
truth. Take this straw and blow
through it in the water as if you
were blowing bubbles, for, after ALL
fortune is but a bubble. If you are to
be prosperous in life the water will
change to milk, proving that you will
live in a land flowing milk and honey
In the course of minute or two
the water will become apalescent, and
then as white as milk, to the wonder
of your subject. Caution to keep his
secret. and then you call for the next
subject.
Jour first subject turned to milk, re-
oil the wineglass from the bottle
md have another glass by you filled
With pure water. This time let your
subject choose between the glasses.
If he chooses the plain water, turn
aside his suspicion by saying:
You must dip your fingers in this
glass; before touching the magic
straws."
Then give him the glass with the
lime water in it and let him blow into
1t through the straw, when the result
will be the same as at first. The eff
feet would be better if you perform
some sort of nocus-pocus over the
glass, such as waving your hands or
,ronouncing strange words or even an
ucantation.
IL you don't care to tell fortunes
with the lime water, you can use it
to perform little feet of magic. Tell
the company that you will turn the
water into milk merely by blowing
into it, and not one Of them will guess
how you do it.

Fortune-TeIIino Trick.

To prepare the fluid with which
you are to tell the fortunes of your
friends you must put some quicklime
into quart bottle and then fill the
bottle with cold water. Shake it well
every now and then, and at the end
of the day set it away where it will
not be touched during the night
The next morning pour off the
water into another bottle, leaving the
sediment in the first one. And now,
having provided yourself with some
clean straws, such as are used in
drinking lemonade. you are ready to
begin your fortune telling.
AS fortune tellers should not be
exposed to the public gaze while they
are engaged with their Victims you
should take your seat at a table be-
hind a screen, and invite them, one
at time, to consult you there. Be
