have already told you of the murder
Of Prof. Won Stockmar by his rival. Prof.
Marnac of Heidelberg, and of the dis
covery Of the crime by my cousin, Sir
Henry Graden, the well-known scientist
and explorer, who was then my guest at
that university. have described the
steps that led to our following the muir
derer to Lemsdorf, in German Poland.
and the means by which he comprised
the death of the unfortunate Mechersky.
I have, moreover, laid before you the evil
dence that led my cousin to believe that
Marnac was suffering from decisions,
and that his extraordinary crimes were
in revenge for certain harsh criticisms
of book on which he had spent many
years of labor. In my last statement
traced the pursuit down to the station
OF Lemsdorl, where the murderer, flying
from the scene of his revenge upon the
Russian professor, had been turned back
from the railway by Mossel, the lieuten-
ant Of the Heidelberg police, who had
followed us to render assistance. Mossel,
indeed, had waited by Marnaes luggage
for six hours, but the man himself had
failed to appear.
The winters sun, chilled to a dusky
ball. was dipping behind the snow-clad
ridges to the eastward when we scram-
bled back into the sleigh. AZ our tired
horses stumbled through the outskirts of
the stra ggling wooden town, the shadows
rushed across the sky as if flying the pur-
suit of the gale that shrieked amongst
the houses. Night had fallen.
Surely we had him in our hands.
He had not fed by rail. Somewhere
in the town he must .e lurking this

pecting to see him move across the snow
before us like sinking beast Of prey.
We had decided to drive straight to our
own inn, the ''Goldner Adler" where,
as we had discovered, Marnac, under the
name of Wakefield, an English traveller,
had also passed the previous evening.
Little had we thought that the being we
pursued, fresh from the murder Of the
man we had come to save, was sharing
the same roof-tree. Perhaps there might
be news of him at the "Goidner Adler. !"

"You have had a bad drive, gentle
men," said he. 1.-THE wind has been
fierce. and the snow, fear, was heavy.

in eastern fashion, on his heels. The
body of the car was not hung on the
axle In equilibrio. but considerably
forward, so that the weight was
thrown more upon the horses. Its
lightness, however, would prevent this
from being very fatiguing to them, and
this mode Of placing it had the advan-
tage OF rendering the molten more easy
to the driver. To contribute further
to this end, the bottom or floor con-

Pre-Adamite Bone Gave.


Among the wonders Of the world, the
bone caves Of the pre-Adamite period
deserve prominent place. 1t Is to-
this period that the extensive remains
Of Mammifer@ found in the strata Of
the Pampas Of Buenos Ayres. and In
the cayerns which are scattered In such
vast numbers over t continents OF
Europe and America, and even in Aus
tralia, are to be ascribed. OF these
caverns, most extensive one, and
among the first which attracted atten-
ton, Is situated at Baylenreuth, i'm
Franconia, and the engraving which we
here given represents a section Of 1t.
The entrance of this cave, about
seven feet In height, is placed on the
face of perpendicular rock, ana leads
to series of chambers from fifteen
to twenty feet in height, and several
hundred feet in extent. in a deep
chasm. The cavern Is perfectly dark,
and the icieles and pillars Of stalactite
reflected by the torches present high

INDIAN STILL A WARD
st. Louis Court Reverses Decision A
fecting Red Mems Citizenship.

SIOUX CITY, Notwithstanding to de-
cision handed down by the circuit court of ap-
peals at st. Louis, reversing the decision of
Judge Munger of the Nebraska federal court,
an Indian who has received his heirshp FUNDS
American citizen with the privileges and obliga-
tions of any other citizen. The supreme court,
year ago, upheld the defense of boot,
logger who claimed lie had right to sell
liquor to Indians who had received their heir
! ship funds, because they citizens. This had
the effect Of opening all the reservations to
liquor dealers, and the result indiscrim-
inate selling of liquor. In Nebraska, the towns
bordering the reservation forced their sa-
looms to close, simply because the Indians We're
making life hideous. Nebraska counties also
brought suit for taxes the property of such
Indians had received their heirship funds,
and suits brought claims against the
Indians, to obtain about $4,000 in Sioux City
banks which credited to the Indians by
direction of the government. Now the circuit
court has apparently taken issue with the SUI
preme court and the status of the red man
will again be in doubt till the reaches

Figures secured by of the promoters of
interurbans on the possible tonnage Of his road
projected thru q rich Iowa district, show that
the average Iowa farm of 100 acres last year
produced about $4,000 worth of farm products.
The figures secured in confidence and are
regarded accurate. A long list of questions
concerning what planted and what was
the yield put to many farmers. Two hun
dred and five have replied, and from their re-
plies the above conclusion reached.

KANSAS FARMERS
TO FIGHT TRUST
Tillers Of the Soil May Unite to
Combat Menace to Their
Own Products.

Topeka, Kan, March 26.-Kansas
farmers now have another cause for
excitement. Their agitation has grown
out of the organization Of the new
Corn Products trust and the probability
that the trust will try to gain con-
troll of agricultural products. Kansas
farmers have been organized since the
days Of the Farmers Alliance fifteen
years ago, but their organization when
effected did not contemplate opposition
from a trust which should have as
its object the control of the products of
the farms.
The old Farmers Alliance has passed
away, but in its stead there is the
Civic league and the hundreds Of farm
ers' cooperative grain companies. The
object of the Civic league is to cope
with the railroads and the grain ship
ping and buying. Cooperative societies
are organized for the purpose of break
ing up the wheat trusts in Kansas City
and Chicago. James Butler, formerly
president of one of the largest Of the
cooperative societies and now active in
this work, said today:
"The farmers of Kansas are of the
kind that delighted in fighting corpora
tions when the alliance was organized,
and they are ever ready to rise en- masse
and assault a new trust. There are so
many organizations among Kansas
farmers that they would all merge into
one gigantic association for protection
If there is possibility that the Stand
ard Oil company is preparing to make
them trouble.
'sThe Standard had better be as good
as possible to Kansas people for the
next few months; we have legislature
Z coming on which will uproot that trust

against it to the proper Degree
