MY confession wiz KIN me. Every

dagger thrust The contemplation is
terrible"
Sc sobbed Mrs. Annie N. Bradley,
pale and haggard. as she entered the
court room today leaning on the arm Of
her counsel for the crucial day OF her
trial for the murder Of Senator Arthur
Brown OF Utah.
Today she began the recital OF the
tragic story OF her life, telling Of her
great love for the man she killed. and
going over each painful incident that led
up 10 the shooting.
Courage Deserts Her.
Mrs. Bradley rose almost quic KY
when her name was called. She took the
oath and mounted the steps TO the wit
ness chair. but as she sat and faced the
court room her courage seemed TO desert
ner IN fash. She was deathly white.
and her answers to preliminary ques-
tions were given IN such a low voice
that the court stenographer had 20 re-

Sometimes the sten0grapher. who sat
less than four feet from her, had diff
Guilty in nearing. but it was evident that
Mrs, Bradley could not muster tha
physical strength to speak above a whis-
per. She tried, there was no questica
about that, but the effort proved OF no
avail, and for some minutes IL seemed
that she would not be able to go on.
Max Brown Near By.
Almost on a direct line with Mrs
Bradley sat Max Brown. son Of the
murdered man. The expression on his
face did not change when the name Of
his fathers slayer was called, but from
the moment she took the stand young
Browns eyes never left the defendants g
face. 1t was a steady, searching gaze

In thrall. struggled with her grief.
faItered out her words and prayed
for the ordeal to end.
At the bar. Judge Powers helped
the woman TO tell her story. ID,
reetly in front Of her sat Max
Brown, the dead mans son, his
hands elasped before him, his eyes
always on the woman ia the wit
ness chair. And back Of them all
was sea Of faces, sympathy and
pity written large upon them.
Almost Utter Collapse.
When. after being On the stand for
two weary hours, the noon recess was
taken, Mrs Bradley was near utter col
lapse. and had to be helpei by the
bailif to her cell In the basement or
the building.
The story shs tolc was dramatic
throughout. Part OF . she spoke hardly
above q whisper. Once or twice. as she
spoke OF how the former Senator had
once loved her. a wan smile dawned on
her face. She told Of meeting him and
OF later becoming better acquainted
VITA him. She described how he came
10 her with pTotestations OF her loce
''snany, many times" how he said he
was miserable and wretehed. calling her
the zone bright spot IN his hfe:" and
how. at last. she threw her honor away

Other Things Told Of.

But there were other things she
brought 10 light. She said Brown once
performed a criminal operation upon
her. She described how he on another
occasion gave her a revolver to use as
her protection against his wife. She
told of a midnight conference between
herself, Brown. Mrs. Brown, and others
In an endeavor to straighten out their
sadly tangled affairs. Forced 10 it by heI.
counsel, she told how twice she and
Brown had been arrested for intimacy.
But always. always through the drag
ging hours of her RECITAL. there rang
the dominant note OF how she had loved
the man she killed; and again and again
she told Of how he had sworn to pro-
tect her all her life.
This afternoon when court convened
she took up again the story. coming
nearer and nearer TO the time when the
mans love turned from her; approaching
closer and closer the days OF her agony
and fear and distrust, and Bringing her
story nearly to the dread point of the
day that Brown met his death In the
Raleigh.

Bob I<irlin Worse

Mike Kirlin was in Council
Bluffs yesterday visiting his
Bob, whom he states is
not getting along very we'll.
He will be taken to a specialist
in Omaha tomorrow toSundereo
a course of treatment. Mr..
Kirlin has not been in perfect
health any time since he met
with an accident while firing
on the Sioux City division.
That tomorrow will be cele-
brated in a fitting way all over
the United States, is putting it
mildly. Shooting firecrackers
and sending up fireworks is.
not only the only way OF show
ing our patriotism, but every
American feels that it is good
to be here. We trust that the
celebration in this city may
pass off without any serious
mishap and that everybody will
have a good time.

the supreme court, INDUCED In by cx-
Governor Mickey In his closing mes
sage TO the legislature regarding the
matter of the BARLEY bond litigation
IL is significant fact, however, that
even the doughty ex-governor has new
cr had the hardihood to claim that the
decisions OF the supreme court in
those cases are not right ns matter
of law, or are not fully supported by
sound precedent Nor does the oppo-
sltlon now make any such claim.
Those opposed to Judge sedgwlck
seem to want a Judge elected this fan
who is pledged to determine certain
class of cases, not according to law
and precedent, but in response to pub
ne clamor and whom the state hap
pens TO be n party to a suit before
him. to decide for the commonwealth
without regard to law or precedent.
In other words, they would have a
Judge who would take IT upon himself
to correct the errors, mistakes and
omissions of the legal department OF
the state and disregard the law and
the well settled practice of the courts
altogether.
Such judge would not only be a
disgrace to the state, but menace tC
the lives, liberty and property of al
persons who might have occasion tc
engage in litigation or be so unfortu
nate as to be compelled to resort tc
the courts for n protection Of theiI
rights.
Instead of being condemned for the
result of the BARLEY bond case, Judge
Sedgwick should be commended fol
his fairness and courage In treating
the state the same as any other party
litigant, All any party Is entitled to is
an honest, fearless declaration of the
law, whether such party be the state
corporation or an individual.
The attempt of the opposition tC
create the false impression that Judge
Sedgwlck wrote the opinions in those
cases or that the decisions are wrong
in any particular and to thus defea
his denomination, shows the dire eX
tremity to which his opponents are
driven. Such unfair methods SHOULD
be promptly and severely condemned
by the fair minded electors of all pc
litical parties.

tural development. There is real need
for forest growth. BY careful selection
Of the species, the choice Of suitable
sites, and proper management Of plan
tatons, enough forest can be grown
to exercise n marked effect upon farm
development and TO supply wood for
most domestic purposes. The object
of the circular is to show just what 1t
Is practicable to undertake in the way
OF such plantations. Planting may be
done for any one of three chief pur-
poses-protoclon, wood supply and
shade
A wlndbroak consists Of one or two
rows Of trees which form forest condi-
tons and serve a protective purpose.
Any species which is adapted to the
region may be used for windbroaks.
Where oycrgrccus will succeed, how
ever, they are more desirable, since
they afford better winter protection
than dociduous trees. A windbreat
consisting of a single row should be
composed Of a densely growing species
with branches close to the ground
The main use of windbrealls is to
shelter an orchard or a residence site,
to prevent hot winds from scorching
field crops, and to conserve soil mois-
ture within the protected area. They
may also be planted in open pastures
for the protection of stock. Incident
ally, the windbreak may furnish use
full material, but it must be placed
where 1t will afford the most effective
protection, without much reference to
the character of the soil.
Wherever agriculture is practiced in
the plains region, the farmer will find
it profitable to devote a few acres of
good land to trees. 1t is true that
some time must elapse before the
plantation will become productive, but
by the choice of rapid growing species
and by close spacing, the trimmings
which will be necessary In few years
will provide material suitable for fuel
stakes and the like.
The choice of species for this pur
pose is naturally very limited and will
depend somewhat on the location
Trees that grow rapidly and at the
same time produce wood of good quail
ity are best If they also sprout from
the stumps, the forest may be made
permanent with a little care.
The circular contains suggestions as
to the choice Of species, with notes or
their requirements, and directions fol
planting and care.

CREAM RATES.

Out of the cream rate investigation
which has been taken up at Lincoln
by the state railway commission,
comes the fact that the creamery in
dustry of the large city is thriving
off the life-blood of the country cream
cry, through railroad rate discrimin-
ations. Here is an opportunity for
the state railway commission to live
up to its pledges by giving square
deal" to the small-town creamery along
with the centralized institution of the
population center.
We are told for instance that where
Iowa has 600 small town creameries,
Nebraska has but twenty. And this
number of twenty is all that has man.
aged to survive out of 200 that for.
merly operated in the state. Where
the small creameries have had their
life squeezed out, however, creameries
in the cities have prospered to such ar
extent that today stock in one of the
big creameries is as good an invest
ment as a Nebraskan could we'll look
for.
Here in Norfolk the matter comes
home to us with particular force from
the fact that creamery which was
operated here years ago was moved
to Omaha and has now, by virture o
determinations shown 1t, become ont
of the mammoth industries of tn,
state. 1t has only been of recen
months that the creamery industr!
had courage to revive in this city ant
start over again.
The present investigation at Lncoll

wages as 1t is today. He points to the
fact that in Cincinnati 10000 more
men could find employment than are
available He points to the high pric-
es being received by the American
farmer for his products and the gener-
al unprecedented prosperity the coun-
try over. His doctrine will be "the
full dinner pail" and "let well enough
alone" as against a policy of tamper-
ing with the tariff. And he threatens
to carry the fight into the republican
state convention which alone, he
claims, has power to authoritatively
endorse for the presidency
From now until the Ohio convention
.of republicans, regardless Of the CEN
tral committee endorsement the fight
may be expected to continue.
