dead about fourteen days. The witness did
not find any scar or injury on the skull. and
there was evidence which discarded the
theory that the throat may have been cut.
The face was SO badly mutilated that 1t
would be practically impossible to Identify
the woman. a.
The fact that the doctors examination
disclosed the fact that deceased had been q
very muscular woman. while the witnesses
who had seen a strange woman on the road
declared that she was thin. aroused a doubt
In the minds OF some Of the jurors as to
whether the strange woman was the one
found In the woods.

into the circumstances surrounding the
death of q colored woman whose remains
were discovered in the woods on the prop

mile southwest from this place Monday
afternoon last. reconvened in the Knights
of Pythias Hall here last evening AS the
result Of the three days Investigation Of
the case. Constable John Kicks of Vans

Thursday, October 4. and they were sum-
moned before the jury last evening and
gave testimony that, to the minds Of a num-
Der OF the jurors, was convincing proof that

one whose remains were discovered was
| the same person. Other jurors were not
| satisfied that the description was sufficient

and they wanted to be satisfied as to what
had become of the woman's clothes, and on

colored girl named Nellie Bell, who declared

description given by the other witnesses
and that the woman was going in the direc-

saw her. The constable related how he and

The Young Girl and the Stage.
Ethel Barrymore, in Harper'a Bazaar.


II she is the hundredth one, she has what
seems to be better luck. She gets her
chance. She goes on the stage at salary
Of from SIS to $35 week. She has her
little part. When first went on the stage
at some such salary. actresses had to pro-
vide their own stage costumes-a necessity
now happily obsolete in most companies,
certainly in most metropolitan ones. In one
part where had about two lines to say,
was obliged to wear two smart frocks, one
bicycle suit. A smart bicycle suit, 1t is
superfuous to say, cannot be constructed
by the most skillful lady's maid or seam
stress that ever put needle to cloth; only
an expensive tailor can turn out the gar
ment. The result was that I was mort
gagged, SO to speak. for the entire season to
the tailor and the dressmaker. But now
adays in the good companies things are bet
ter, and the girl who gets her SIS a week
can use 1t on her living expenses alone
always remembering that her salary ceases
at the end of the season.

Labrador Spruce.
From the Outing Magazine.

In the vicinity. of this camp we saw some
of the largest spruce timber that we came
upon in the whole journey across Labrador.
Some of these trees were fully twenty-five
inches In diameter at the butt and perhaps
fifty to sixty feet in height. These large
trees were very scattered. however, and too
most part the trees that we met with were
six to eight. and. occasionally. ten inches
through scrubby and knotted. In Labra-
dor trees worth the cutting are always To-
Gated near streams in sheltered valleys.

CAUCUS LAW CHANGES.

The caucus law will probably have
to 90. 1t has failed to find popular
favor, and there is little prospect that
it will do so, if allowed TO stand
longer. The declaration require
ment is the laws weak feature. al
though as a whole il seems TO be
cumbersome and expensive. Good
citizens balk at being forced TO an
nounee their political preference
months ahead of election, under
penalty of being barred from the
primaries. IL doesn't accord with the
common idea of the secrecy OF the
ballot. Some other method will surely
have TO be devised.
The objects of legal regulation of
caueuses are two. The primaries
should be protected from the corrupt
use of money or other influences that
tend to peryert the true and honest
will OF the voters. Secondly. the
primaries of one party should not be
participated in by voters belonging
to other parties. The first object can
be attained only by straight prohibit
ton. The second presents a difficult
problem, inasmuch as it is not clear
how voters can be properly classified
long enough ahead to admit of the
preparation of voting lists. or even
how it can be done at all without
offending that sense which holds that
it is nobody's business but the voters
with which party he acts.
Perhaps a simple regulation pro-
hibiting a voter from acting in tho
primaries of more than one party
during a single canvass will be as
effective as anything that can be de-
vised. This requirement, if enforced,
would 90 about as far as experience
has shown it is possible to 90 in
the voter as to what eau
cuses he may or may not enter.
We favored the present caucus law
at its passage, as the best one pre-
scented, and it looked promising
enough in prospect, but in operation
it has failed. and should make way
for something better adapted to our
needs. and easier Of execution.

BRYAN'S RAILROAD PLAN.

The startling feature of Mr.. Bryan's
New York speech was his advocacy of
government ownership of railroads.
He does not make belief in this idea a
tenet of Democratic faith yet, but he
strongly urges it as his own personal
judgment, and as he is at present the
virtual equivalent of his party the
chances are that the Democratic plat
form Of 1908 will follow him in this
matter. Mr.. Bryan's plan is to have
the interstate railroads owned by the
federal government and the lines in
oluded wholly within the states owned
by the states. The purpose of this
division, he explains, is to prevent the
heavy Capitalization Of power in the
hands OF the Washington admins
tration
Government ownership Of railroads
is with many a taking idea, but we
think this proposed division between
federal and state governments would
not be received with general favor.
Some states might object to purchas-
ing the railroads within their borders.
and as they could not be compelled to
do so there would be a mixture of gov
eminent, state and private ownership

1t may turn out that Bryan's tour, or
at least his return, was ill-timed. There
can be no complaint over the warmth
OF his reception, or its sincerity for the
moment. But the people are tickle.
Two years hence is a long time. The
Peerless One" may pale ere then,
even as Dewey did, under similar
conditions. After inebriation comes
a reaction. Though Bryan today has
the Democracy at his feet almost to a
man, and even Republicans looking
on wistfully, there is time for the tide
to turn. Two years is a long period
to hold popular favor at fever heat
From the politicians viewpoint, Bry-
ans return should have been timed
for about eighteen months hence.
Then he could have scooped the nomi-
nation with whoop and yell, and
there would have been more prospect
that the current would have run on
fast until election day. However, the
Nebraskan never pretended to know
the art of the politician, and yet has
achieved rather more than ephemeral
fame.

ance all around. If the railroads OF
