Magician Kellar. who is announced 10 appear at Polls Friday evening, Is too we'll and favorably known to need much in way of commendation to theater-goers of this city, but a word about his new illusions, which as given in former years, were admit tedly the most perplexing and mysti- flying examples of the necromancer's art ever offered here He has made q life study of Oriental occ,Atism, and this season advances still further into that weird field. He disdains the use of darkened stage, and will not use covers, curtains. screens, traps, wires or other similar subterfuges, resorted to by amateurs and performers of questionable degree. Of course, the result he obtains is brought about by purely natural and mechanical means, but how he applies the means to the end is Kellar's secret. Prices p, 30, 90, 75 and $1.

INDIAN GIRL INSANE?
Slayer of Winship Infant May
 Go to Matteawan.
LOVED HER CHILD VICTIM DEARLY
Jennie Burch Said to Re Daughter of stanton Field. Son of, a Rich Farmer-Mystery In Her
 Birth.

VI rIebO. son or A hlcn | Farmer-Mystery In Her l Birth. | CARMEL. x. r., March 27-At the trial of little Jennie Ruth Burch. the child who is in danger of the electric chair for the self confessed murder of i the infant son of her benefactor. two important features were developed. | First, it was hinted by counsel for the defense that the father of the little prisoner, who sits sullen and defiant | in court, is a New York business man. son of one of Putnam county's richest farmers; second, it was said n des- perate fight for the acquttal of the girl would be made on the ground of emotional insanity.
 Though it has been said that an un- derstandlng had been reached between counsel on both sides for Justice Mills to obtain the commitment of the frail prisoner to Matteawan as the best pos sible means of serving justice. Demp- sey, her counsel, says he is working for an aDSOlute acqulttal.
 The most important witness examin- ed was Mrs. Christina Winship. mother of the dead child. Two days after the poisoning. she testified, Jennie told her as they stood beside the coffin of the child that she had set fire to the barn and. terrified by the suspicion that the family knew of her guilt. decided to commit suicide. Because of her love for the baby and not wishing to leave 1t behind she also decided to kill it. Mrs. Winship said that the girl had given Wilbur a peach, a portion of which he ate, and that then Jennie, too. had eaten some of it. Just pre- vious to giving 1t to the child Jennie was greatly excited. "She had white ring around her mouth and very. very red cheeks" she said. After eating the peach the baby was seized with convulsions and died within an hour. Jennie also became i'll.
 On cross examination Attorney Dempsey asked Mrs. Winship:
 ''Did you tell Jennie the mystery of her birthy'
 "Yes," replied Mrs. Winsbip. be cause thought the neighbors might throw it up to the girl
 Did you mention that Stanton Field was supposed to he her father?'
 "I may have done so.' the witness said; 'I don't remember
 Stanton Field is the son of Isaac Field, one of the richest farmers in Putnam county. .Jennie's mother is said to have worked in the Field home before Jennie was born.
 The defense plans to end its case to- day. Attorney Dempsey will attempt to show that the girl was insane when she killed the child.
 Dr. Granger. an alienist. who has been retained by the defense. will tes- tify that the girl was undoubtedly in- sane when she killed the child. but is sane today.

FoRAKER FOR PRESIDENT.
Ohio Senator Does Not Concede Taft
 ns Choice of State.

ns Choice of State.
 WASHINGTON. March 27.-Senator Foraker of Ohio in a statement issued last night announces that he will short ly ask the Ohio Republican state com mittee to call primary for the pur- pose of ascertaining the preferences of the Republican party in the state as to the succession to the United States senatorship and the presidency.
 That Senator Foraker does not con cede that Secretary Taft will be Ohio's choice for the presidential nomination next year is made plain by statement issued by the senator.
 The announcement of State Superin- tendent of Insurance Arthur I. Vorys that he will support Secretary Taft for the presidential nomination led Sena- tor Foraker 1t is believed, to issue the statement outlining his position MT. Foraker does not say that he will be a candidate to succeed Roosevelt but it is generally understood among his friends in Washington that at a later date he will formally announce his candidacy and that if the primary cleo tion is called in Ohio he will enter into the fight to secure the indorsement of his own state.
 Senator Foraker said:
 'It seems to me premature to be now discussing what is so far ahead. How ever. in view of the interviews and announcements of one kind and an other that are appearing in the news papers. l feel that I may with pro- priety say that I do not want any po- litical honors from the Republicans of Ohio without their hearty approval"

With the stomach that is affected by chronic indigestion, the thinness- of the dyspeptic sufferer is the result of insufficient nourishment. The. practical. sensible remedy for such a condition is to give the stomach di- gestive assistance rather than dose it with physic and try to stimulate 1t with drugs. For this purpose there IS nothing superior to Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tablets.
 Mrs Edward Hayes, 139 Hill street, Waterbury, Conn. says: q read in the I local papers about the good Dr Rich ards Dyspepsia Tablets had done some of my friends here in Water bury and so l bought a bottle at Apothecaries hall. These tablets cured me of bad case of indigestion in three weeks time. think 1t is the best medicine I ever used. was unable to digest my food and I would be seized with nervous spells that would last for hours took all sorts .of medicines. some of which seemed to aggravate the trouble. Two bot ties of Dr Richards Dyspepsia Tab. lets made me as we'll as ever and I attribute my recovery to this excel- lent medicine and nothing else.'

DISTRICT COURT CASES
Williams Gets SIS Verdict: Two Yer
diets Directed for c. & NJ. w.
| From, 'ThurSdav's Daily


About five o'clock yesterday afternoon
the jury that tried the damage suit
of Daniel L. Williams of Cambria
against the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad, brought in verdict of $75 for
the plaintiff. Williams sued to recover
5000, claiming that his land was dam
aged by being flooded as a result of
some improvements the company made
on it's roadbed.
This morning Judge Cray directed
verdicts for the defendant in both the
suits brought against the same COM
pany for the killing of some horses.
These suits were brought by Louis
Swanson and William Johnson, both of
Judson township, who asked 1915 in
the aggregate. The verdict was directed
for the company on the ground that the
horses were trespassing on the COM
pany's property.
After this, the court laid the civil cal
endar aside, and took up the trial of
famous and sensational Semple case
from Willow Creek. The work of Sc
curing jurors to try the accused man
began at two o'clock this afternoon.

TALK on DRAINAGE.
Mark L. WiIdes Gives His Ideas on
This Subject.
From Mondays Daily.

|
Hon. Mark L. Wildes, well known
Blue Earth county former, was in from
his farm near Lake Vita day or two
ago and says he read with much interest
the article published in The Free Press
a few days ago relating to the numer-
GUS drainage bitches in this and other
counties filling the rivers and causing
high water. He does not agree with
this theory and says: "We have had
wet seasons and dry seasons. This year
too much water has fallen. The draining
of the lakes is great curse to the
farmers of this and other counties, as
the water in them conserves the heat
in the summer and cools the atmosphere
The numerous lakes in Minnesota ac-
counts for the healthful climate we
have. The wheat and other crops are
usually better around the lakes, on ac-
count of the cool air from them in the
summer.
"The ditching of marshes and mead
ows ought to be done to afford pastur-
age and hay. These lands are valuable
when drained. The same amount of
water falls whether there are bitches or
not. With bitches the water passes off
quicker but does not heighten the rivers
any more than if there were no bitches.
Ditching has nothing whatever to do
with the rise in the river"
Mr.. Wildes has been resident of
Blue Earth county for many years and
is close student of moisture and gem
eral farm conditions. He predicts a
good crop this year.
