murder of Michael NJ Mccarthy, the
wealthy farmer, who is believed to have
been shot, his body hacked to pieces
and then burned on a bonfire, was ar

He then informed the judge that he
had no means with which to pay an at

Spencer. Unless the defense wins III its
demand for delay or change of venue
the case will be tried here next Monday.
Curious to see the man accused, the

spectators, more than one-half of whom
were women.
Kabat earlier had asked for clothes
to make good appearance before the

Government Charged Fraud in Securing
Grants-Supreme Court Upholds De-
cision of Appeals Tribunal.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 3
United States Senator Clark of Montana
today won the case against him in the
supreme court of the United States in
which the government sought to have
cancelled patents to II 400 acres of pub
lie lands in Montana, which were alleged
TO have been fraudulently secured.
The opinion IN the case was delivered
by Justice Holmes ana upheld the de-
cision of the circuit court of appeals for
the ninth circuit. Justices Harlan and
Brown dissented.
Senator Clark had entered into a con-
tract to purchase the land before the
patents were granted and that he had
known or had had good reason to know,
that the proceeding was fraudulent.
The government charged that Clark
was not a bona fide purchaser: but the
lower courts took the contrary view.
holding that the issuance of patents had
the effect of converting his purchase OF
an equity into a purchase of title. The
printed record IN the case covered 1000
pages.
This was a civil proceeding instituted
OF Montana to secure the cancellation. of
elghty-tWo patents to land issued under
the timber and stone act. The charge
made by the government in it's bill of
complaint was that the patents were
fraudulently secured. and it was further
set forth that about eighty of the pat
entees are now under Indictment in the
Montana courts

Filings in Teeth.

MANITOWOC, Wis, March 81 Spe-

ward J. Morgan, the Oshkosh lumber
man who disappeared here January S,
was taken from Lake Michigan this
morning. The discovery was made by
Charles McDowner, who will claim the
$50 reward.
The body was floating outside the pier
near the interurban line north of the
city. 1t is possible that Morgan fell
from a car while on his way to Two
Rivers, as the line runs within three
feet of the lake.
The fact that the clothing on the body
is torn and disarranged aroused the sus-
picion that Morgan met with foul play
An inquest will be held at 2 o'clock this
afternoon. The body was but little de-
composed. Tt was identified by the gold
filings in his teeth by Thomas Higgins
friend.
Morgan was 33 years old and came
here December %. He was last heard

How Bees Make Wax

When wax is needed a certain number
OF self-elected citizens gorge with honey
and hang up in chains or curtains, each
bee clinging by her front feet to. the hind
feet of the one above her. like Japanese
acrobats, and there they remain, some
times for two days, until the wax scales
appear pushed out from every pocket.
IT is not hard to understand that. since
honey is needed for the manufacture Of
wax, a bee after filling with the raw
material would: produce much more wax
by keeping quiet than by using any of
the gorge honey for energy in moving,
about and working. But the necessity
of holding hands" while this work goes
on must ever remain to us another oc-
cult evidence of the close relations. in the

A PERFECT HAND.
How It's Appearance Became Famil-
lar to the Public.

How Its Appearance Became Fam1A-
lar to the Public.
The story of how probably the most
came known to the people is rather In
teresting.
As the story goes the possessor Of the
hand was with some friends in photo
grapher's one day and while talking,
held up piece of candy. The pose Of
the hand with it's perfect contour and
faultless shape attracted the attention
Of the artist who proposed to photo
graph it. The result was a beautiful
picture kept in the family until one
day, after reading a letter from some
one inquiring as to who wrote the Pos
tum and Grape Nuts advertisements,
Mr. Post said to his wife, eve receive
SO many inquiries of this kind, that it
is evident some people are curious to
know, suppose we let the advertising
department have that picture of your
hand to print and name it "A Help
ing Hand" Mrs. Post has assisted
him in preparation of some of the
most famous advertisements
There was a natural shrinking from
the publicity, but with an agreement
that no name would accompany the
picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
of extending welcoming hand to the
friends Of Postum and Grape-Nuts, SO
the picture appeared on the back COW
crs of many of the January and Febru-
airy magazines and became known to
millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
it as probably the most perfect hand
in the world.
The advertising department OF the
Postum co. did not seem able TO resist
the temptation to enlist the curiosity
Of the public, by refraining from Civ
ing the name of the owner when the
picture appeared, but stated that the
name would be given later in one of
the newspaper announcements. thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the Forthcoming advertise
Eents to learn the name of the owner.
This combination Of art and COM
MERGE and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration OF
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life of large man
ufacturers, whose names become house
hold words through extensive and con
tinuous announcements in newspapers
