Mary's important Testimony.

Justice Brewer, of the United States
supreme court is said to be the author
of this story: A witness testified in
a certain case that a person named
Mary was present when a particular
conversation took place and the ques-
ton was asked: What did Mary
say?' This was objected to and after
some discussion the Judge ruled out
the question. An exception to this
decision was Immediately taken and
on appeal the higher court reversed
the verdict and ordered a new trial
on the ground that the question
should have been answered.
At the second trial the same inquiry
was propounded and elected the infor-
nation that Mary said nothing"

MYSTERY AROUND DIAMONDS.
Chicago Woman Claims Jewels Of Rich
Milwaukee Woman.

Chicago Around q glittering array
OF diamonds, which were found upon
the arm and hand OF Mrs c, Y. Ro-
madka, wife of a Milwaukeean, and
which caused her arrest, there Is WOW
en- a mystery which the detectives OF
Chicago have so far found impene-
trable.
Arrested In one of the downtown
restaurants, Mrs ROmaCka spent a
day in the Harrison street annex. and
IN the court Of the police station. she
declared the jewels were given to her
by n man named Ralph Smith. She
said she did not know his address, his

her child were In the house. Mr. Beck
is the proprietor Of the Baltimore Inn.
Mrs Romadka was arrested while at a
table In the College inn She was
with n personal friend Of Mr. Beck.
This line of coincidence was made
more strange when II was stated by
Detective Lieut. Larkin that Mr. Beck
had attempted to stop the proceedings
against the woman and that Mrs RO-
madka had been invited to the Beck
residence Saturday night
Mrs Beck explains that the Jewels

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Ou
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Misunderstanding to report Is
sued by Secretary John NJ. True OF the
state board Of agriculture. few farm
crops in Wisconsin this season are TO
be equal in yield and quality to the
average Of the last few years. The
yield of oats and barley as shown
by threshing was says Secretary
True in his report, "a disappointment
TO those who had judged the probable
production from appearances OF crops
in the field. Not only is the yield
light, but oats, especially, are of poor
quality Barley, while better than
oats, is not equal in grade to the
crop of the last two years. Wheat
and rye show an average well up TO
that of the last five years The corn
crop improved rapidly during the
month Of August, and was well ad-
vanced at the time of the first frost,
about the middle of September The
weather during the month of Septem-
Der was not calculated to mature the
crop, and indications are that about
10 per cent Of the crop will not be
fully ripened, The potato crop has
been seriously damaged in yield by
blight, and in many locations, subse-
quent rot. Upon light soils the quail
ity is reported as good. Undoubtedly
the crop as a whole will be as profit
able for the farmer as though the
yield were much larger and the price
! correspondingly decreased. Tobacco
grew rapidly during the last few
weeks prior to harvest, and IS one
crop that is better than it was eX-
| pected to be. Our estimate of yield
! per acre is left over for the November
| report In localities where largely
| raised sugar beets, cabbage and beans
! are reported as a good crop. Pas
| lures are remarkably good for the sea
I son and farm stock feeding upon grass
| is in good condition. Our next report
Will deal with the yield per acre quail
/ ity and price of the several farm
/ crops. Our correspondents report an
! estimated yield per acre as follows;
/ Wheat, IS bushels; rye, II bushels;
! barley, % bushels oats, % bushels;

| crops whose yield has not yet been
| determined is given as follows: Corn,
