FORCE To TRIAL
States Attorney Graham Re
solved to Compel Rehearing
of Mrs. Mckinney.
JUDGE GEST MAY PRESIDE
Expected to Come Up April 9-De
fendant Still in Chicago San
itarium.

Aledo, March lit is learned on re-
liable authority that the Mrs. Mary
Mckinney cruelty case is again 10 be
tried in the Mercer county circuit
court. II is expected that it will be the
first case on the criminal docket which
will be opened Monday, April 8.
Despite the setting aside of the
iury's verdict by Judge Emery C..
Graves, States Attorney w. J. Gra-
ham has practically decided to force
another trial While the general sen
timent following the reversal of the
jury's verdict was that the case would
never again come to trial, States All
torney Graham adheres to his decision
then announced to make another at
tempt to punish the woman whom he
alleges to be sane and the willful tor
turer of Stella Grady.
Judge Gest Bench.
The present expectation is that Judge
Gest will try the case. 1t is very i'm
probable that Judge Graves would
again consent to hear the trial.
The reopening of the case will
mean an expense of from one to two
thousand dollars to the county. Much
is expected in the efforts TO
get jurymen. While there was consid-
cradle discussion of a change of venue
being taken to some other county, this
does not now appear probable.
There are a great many in the
who openly proclaim that
the case should be dropped. They up
hold Judge Graves in his contention
that Mrs. Mckinney was insane and
is now insane.
still at Asylum.
Mrs. Mckinney is still at the Sanger
Brown asylum in Chicago, and reports |
of her condition state that she is about |
the same as when in Aledo during the |
trial.

OVER ARMY RANK BILL
First Fiibustering of Session INDUCED
In by Friends of Corbin and
Macarthur.
Vigilance Lapsed.

Washington. March IL For an in
stant in the house yesterday there was
lapse in the vigilance of those who
had been on guard to prevent the leg
islation which would take away the
rank of lieutenant general in the army,
and the chances of Generals Corbin
and Macarthur for promition. Prince
of Illinois, whose bill abolishng the
grade in question is III the regular or
der of business under the call of COM
mittees, slipped into the legislative
breach.
Call to Arms.
There was an immediate call to arms
on both sides and for three hours
friends of the generals fiilibustered
against the bill The net result was
that the previous question is ordered
on the bill. and an amendment is
pending, having been offered by Gros-
venor of Ohio, which extends the time
of the operation of the bill so as to
allow the pro-nition of the two officers
named.
On this amendment the house was
voting, but without a quorum, when
was had until Monday,
when the vote will be completed. At
present it stands rs ayes and S3 nays
on the previous amendment

AIR PHONE KICKS
Chicago Business Men Talk Pro
and Con on Renewal of
Franchise.
OLD ExTORTIONS RELATED
Council Committee Adjourns Without
Taking Action - company's
Friends Interested.

Chicago, March IL Subscribers of
the Chicago Telephone company yes
terday told the council committee on
gas. oil, and electric light what they
| thought of the fiat rate, measured
service. and the company's request for
a renewal of its 20-year franchise.
The first part of the meeting was
taken up almost entirely by friends of
the telephone company, all of whom
were opposed to fiat rate Members
of the Retail Druggists association
talked in favor of the nickel telephone.
Their argument was based wholly on
their belief that a measured rate ar
rangement is preferable for public
phones-a point hardly at issue.
Other Side Heard.
Later on the opponents of the system
urged by the company had their in
nings. The company was informed of
the eXtortiop practiced on the public
through the 10-cent telephones in ho-
tells and other places. 1t was brought
out that the druggists derived consid-
cradle income from the Slot telephones.
The committee adjourned the meet
ing without taking any action. 1t |
merely was to secure an expression of
public sentiment, and it looked like a |
drawn battle TO some of the aldermen. |
They said that part of the testimony in !
behalf of the company might not have |
been disinterested, as among those |
who spoke were business men who have
been furnishing supplies to the com
pany.
Urged Renewal.
Business men from South Chicago.
Pullman. Normalj Park, Austin, and
other suburbs urged the committee to
renew the franchise at the terms of
fered by the company. They admitted
that they had been robbed in the past.
but they asked for consideration of
the new rate, which the company had
been forced to grant neighborhood ex-
changes

Private letters as we'll as news
paper correspondents tell the
same wonderful story about the
mineral deposits near Ely, says
the New York Mining Topics,
and the prospect that the camp
will develop into one of the great
est of copper producers are great,
even when the eXaggerations of
the enthusiastic are fully dis
counted. The money exchanges
in the transfers Of Ely mining
property during the month of
March were so large that The
WHITE PINE NEwR, the local
newspaper, claims that they ex-
ceed those Of the rest of Nevada
six times over.
The gold values in the Ely cop
per are very low, averaging only
about two peunyWeights to the
ton bout 10 cents Worth-but
the magnitude Of the ore deposit
is SO vast that the total gold
values in sight to-day are regard
ed as astonishing.
As result OF the wide pub
licity which the camp has re-
ceiyed, the town is full of
strangers, and every stage arriv-
ing is loaded 20 its full capacity

Owing, it is said, to interfer'

considerable freight Tor Ely,
which had accumulated on the
sdings near Currie' S Ranch, has
been turned back to the main

There is no disposition on the

the way for the early completion
