lwARNINo 10 FARMERs

Our farmers last year lost
thousands of dollars through The
ruin Of vast quantities of wheat,
corn, oats, cotton, etc, for lack
of proper means of storage, as
the railroads were unable to
move the crops when gathered.
Almost exactly the same con-
ditions will obtain this season,
and the transportation compa-
nies have already issued the note
Of warning. The railway com
panies have exerted every effort
to secure adequate motive power
and rolling stock, but in the case
of locomotives the orders placed
at the factories are a year ahead
CT the output. With this condi-
ton the demand is increasing and
the roads are powerless to meet
it.
1t is therefore up to the farmer
to look somewhat to his own in
terests. This can be done by
preparing proper storage for his
products SO that they will not be
ruined by the elements in case
of delay in getting them to the
markets.
Last year in Oklahoma and In
dian Territory millions Of dollars
worth of corn and wheat, for
lack Of storage facilities, was
piled upon the ground and per-
mitted torot This can be avoided
by the construction of proper
bins and granaries for storage Of
the current years crops.
In many respects this is yet a
new country and conditions are
somewhat crude, but there is no
philosophy that will excuse a
repetition Of the Amazing waste
of wealth that was experienced
lost season for lack of prepared
ness.
Such storage facilities, while
somewhat expensive, are trifng
in cost in comparison to the loss
that will accrue in case of neg
lect Every farmer should ar
range to construct the necessary
dry corn cribs and wheat bins,
and he should do it at once.

More fake reformers and hypo-
critics have been exposed and
held up to deserved censure and
blighting derision during the past
two years in the United States
than in any twenty years of ITS
previous history. The San Fran

BEATEN TO DEATH BY BOOTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. "A terri
BILE murder was discovered this after
noon when the body Of Claude Young
nude and fearfuly mGtilated, was
found in a room Of a lodging house on
40 East Street. Beaten to death by his
own heavy miners half-boots and lit
orally blood soaked, the corpse lay on
the floor. Young was IS years Of age
and carried a card showing him to
be a member of the Western FEEDER
alton Of Miners He came from Tono-
pah Nevada, three months ago, and
worked in San Francisco as an cleo
trician. No clue has been found, but
from the fact that money was found
in his clothes, robbery is not thought
to be the motive. Apparently the
man had been dead six hours when dis
covered. The room bears evidence Of
a terrible struggle, though the body
was not found until this afternoon and
the noise could not have been very
considerable.

PASTOR RESIGNS.

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 2.--Rev. Geo
Clark COX, rector Of Calvary Church Of
this city, last night resigned. His ac-
tion is due to the recent letter Of
Bishop Boyd Vincent in which the
latter condemns the utterances Of Mr..
Cox ne hereical. After the appearance
Of the letter Of the bishop Mr.. Cox's
supporters advised him to resign.
The cox case came to public notice
through an open letter from the cler-
gyman to Bishop Vincent. which was
published in the Living Church. in
which Mr.. Cox avowed his disbelief
IN the immaculate conception, bodily
resurrection and other vital doctrines
Of the church. Shortly afterward, an
information against Mr.. Cox charging
him with heresy, was filed with the
standing committee OF the diocese.
Upon the failure OF the committee
to find Mr.. Cox liable for trial, the
bishop wrote to the church chronicle,
expressing his opinion on the matter.

verdict read by Judge Smell after thu
jury in the case Of Chester Thompson
charged with the murder Of Judge Geo
Meade Emory. in Seattl e,July Z, 1906
had considered the evidence less thar
three hours.
A large attendance was present II

the reading Of the verdict. The usua
handshaking and congratulations fol.
lowed. The boy remained in the Gus,

sition is made of him by the court
His face was impassive as he was led
from the court room.
After his remarkable effort of the
previous two days, Judge Will H
Thompson, who late last night had tot
tered babbling from the court room
was somewhat recovered this morn
ing, and was in the court room to wit
ness the finish of the trial.
The trial practically terminated at
10 o'clock last night in perhaps the
most dramatic and remarkable scene
ever enacted in a Western courtroom
When the aged father of the accused
with arms aloft, made his final Sob
bing appeal to the jury, there was but
one person in the room not in tears
and seemingly lacking all interest in
the oceedings-Chester Thompson.
Judge, jurors and spectators made
no effort to restrain their emotion and
the situation became intensely painful
when Judge Thompson lost control of
himself and in tones of anguish walled
81 have lost my Chester. have lost
my boy, my boy, my little boy. God
Almighty, l have lost him."
For a full minute he stood swaying
like a drunken man and closed his re-
markable argument in a subdued, low
voice as follows;
May God Almighty enable you to
do your duty and may he enable you
TO do it now
The uplifted hands dropped. With
a sob that reached all parts of the
courtroom he fell into his chair and
his head sank into his hands. There
he sat until his weeping sons each
took an arm and led him away.

Harry Thaw Impatient for Re-
New of His Trial.
CHANGES IN JURY P0SSABLE
May Mackenzie, Close Companion of
Prisoners Wife, May Be First
Witness-Defense Is Prepared
to Submit Case Monday.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2.-His trial hav-
ing been adjourned from yesterday un-
til Monday, Harry K. Thaw sat i'm
patiently in his cell in the Tombs to-
day, regetting that some arrangement
could not have been made to avoid the
week end truce in his battle for life
and liberty. Thaw's attorneys were
busy all day rounding out the mass Of
testimony which the defense will sub
nit to the jury. They will be ready
to proceed Monday, but were inclined
today to doubt that Jerome will find
1t possible to introduce all the direct
testimony which the state has to Of
fer in two hours and half Of the
Monday morning session as he yester-
day declared. 1t is reported that May
Mackenzie, Mrs. Thaw's constant COM
panion, will be one of the first wit
nesses for the prosecution, which
hopes to prove by her that Thaw made
threats against the life Of Stanford
White. Miss Mackenzie was sub
poenaed Immediately after the tragedy.
The report could not be confirmed to-
day. Thaws counsel today denied that
Thaw had decided to take the stand
in his own behalf. Such an event is
possible, but decision in the mat
ter has not been reached. Rumors of
possible changes in the jury continue
to circulate and when the trial is re-
sumed Monday Jerome may spring a
surprise. Thaw is pleased with the
jury and unless extraordinary press
ure is brought to bear it is not likely
that the defense will consent to fur
ther changes.

been learned here that Wilbur F.
Steele, a juror on the Thaw murder
trial, has been a long time friend Of
the Thaw family and was for years

PRICE FIVE CENTS

according to secret action taken yes
terday afternoon by the student body.
Yesterday was the most exciting day
the school ever had. A special meet
ing Of the college body was called at
2:20 p. m. by President Coleman, and
the announcement made that c. Bel
knap had been suspended. Then the
president warned the students not to
side with the "lawbreakers," but to
be good or there would be trouble.
The student body went into execu-
tive session and asked President Cole
man, the president Of the faculty, and
the presIdin gelder, DR.. Rowland, also
a trustee, to leave the room. All but
Coleman went. He stayed for a time,
but the debate grew too warm, and ne
escaped, remarking as he went:
I'm going because / want to, not
because I have to-"
During the student conference Bel
knap apologized to the students and
later to the faculty, and the suspen-
sion sentence was removed. The stu
dents then resolved to force an apol-
ogy from Professor Bach, who was
chief cause of the trouble, or to resign
in a body. Bach refused, refuses and
will refuse, and the faculty and stu
dents are at a deadlock. The semes-
ter Is near an end and the expressed
sentiment among the students seems
TO be to take their credits and go else
where, unless Bach makes reparation.
