Describing a Railroad.

The Pail Mall Gazette in 1880 asked
its reader; to name the worst railway
in England. And one English kicker
answered thus "Sir-The Southeastern
railway is the very worst railway in
the world. The engines are asthmatic
It's lamps are trimmed by foolish vir'
gins. Its fares are excessive. It's car
riages let in the snow in winter and
are furnaces in summer. Its motto is
unpunctuality. Its principal station is
approached through the neck of bot
tie. 1t ruins the temper, destroys the
digestion and enables one to realize the
horrors of Dante's Inferno am,
sir, yours obediently, the Worm Who
Turns"

Atmospheric Weiqht.

At the sea level, with the barometer
marking 80 inches and the thermom-
eter 81 degrees f., a cubic foot of pure
dry air weighs about 500 grains troy
The weight Of cubic foot of water
vapor under the same conditions is
only $50 grains. When vapor is mixed
with dry air, therefore, the resulting
compound is lghter-that is to say,
camp air Is lighter than dry air. In
stormy weather the air is lighter than
it is in fair weather and not heavier.

smoke hangs, about the surface of the

Precautions Of old Tire Doc+or,.,

Precautions of Old Time Doctors.
1t was formerly the practice among
physicians to carry cane having a
hollow head, the top Of which was
gold, pierced with holes like pepper
box. The top contained a small
amount of aromatic powder or of
snuff, and on entering the house or
room where disease supposed to be
infectious prevailed the doctor would
strike his cane on the floor to agitate
the powder and then apply it to his
nose; hence all the old prints of physi-
clans represent them with canes to
their noses.

AFTERNOON SESSION

M II1aNUUN SLCOfVN
The largest crowd that has yet
been in attendance since the
opening of the now famous Dahl
case, was on hand this afternoon.
The spacious auditorium in
which the sessions are held was
crowded to it's utmost capacity
and bailiffs locked the doors soon
after court convened to maintain
order and keep the room from
overcrowding.
The court denied the motion OF
the defense relative to striking
out the testimony of Kruger
relative to finding a long white
hair on the barrel of his rifle
after leaving same with Fourier
and Wesley.
Kruger called for further
cross-examination by Martin.
When you found hair, did you
look at 1t closely?
Yes, it was a long white hair.
Sure it was not horse hair?
Witness swears it was woman's
hair.
Can you read without specks:
Can't read at all with or with
out specks.
Who did you tell first abou
hair?
Told Wesley and Fournier
also sheriff when Fourier wa:
arrested.
On redirect examination wit
ness said hair was not pure
white, by white meant light
blonde hair.
State rests.
Scrutchin for the defenst
moved to dismiss case, stating
no evidence had been adduced t.
show defendant had killed N. o
Dahl.
BY Martin: Defendant i.
charged with having on the 7tl
day of April, 1904, in town O.
Curing killed N. O. Dahl by
shooting him with a rifle. The
evidence in this case shows tha
defendant did not kill N. O. Dab

is that of F'oote and McGraw

Mr.. Martin continued his ar
gument at some length con
tending there was nothing in thu
evidence brought out to show
that Wesley was guilty of any
thing in connection with the
murder except being accessory
after the fact, in that he had
tried to aid Fourier from being
discovered. Counsel called at
tention to the court that the in
dictment did not charge Wesley
with being an accessory, but
principal. The evidence of Nc
Graw and Foots regarding the
alleged confession, council ad

plea LOT lair anu lmpartlal con-
sideration for his client.
Before proceeding to outline
what the defense would be he
took occasion to thank the jurors
for their patience, and the court
for the impartial manner in which
it had ruled and presided, and
also the o;her officers of the
court for the considerations they
had showed the defense.
Mr.. Scrutchin asked the jury
to give the same careful atten-
ton and consideration to the
evidence of the defense as they
had that of the prosecution, and
not let outside pressure warp
their Judgment, but like the
American eagle rise above it.
Outlining the defense Scrutch-
in said, we are going to show by
evidence the innocense of the de-.
PENDANT. We will show by Jesse
Dade of Blackjack, that Eugene
Caldwell and his wife have not
told the truth. Continu ing coun-
sci pleaded eloquently that the
jurymen exercise their judg.
ment, and according to their oath
give the defendant the benefit of
doubt.
Outlining the defense Scrutch-
in said, we will prove by Mr..
Mcdonald that McGraw lied
when he swore Wesley confessed
to him. We will place H. J Loud
on the stand as expert witness
on bullet wounds, and show that
wounds made in old mans skull
we're not made with Krueger'S
rifle, but with a 303 Savage, and
so on down the line.

witnesses for the defense to the

shooting him in the back.
Allen MtGraw was in Jail here
