When I returned, to all appearances, Florence was well and happy. There was nothing to indicate that anything out of the ordinary had occurred If she underwent the experience that is said to have befallen her she did not take me into her confidence. Had she told me what she told the Thaw jury it would not have been necessary for Harry Thaw to kill Stanford White; I would have done it myself"
 The statement reviews in detail the testimony brought out by the prosecu- tion in the trial, Mrs. Holman defend- ing herself from insinuations made as to her neglect of her daughter's mor- als. Of tfo trip to Europe she says it was taken against her wish and that of White. Thaw, she said, had never asked her for permission to marry Evelyn.
 T did not see Florence from the day of the marriage"
 Mrs. Holman denies that Mrs. J. j.. 1 Cain ever heard Thaw offer $10000O or any amount If she, the mother, would gain Evelyn's consent to marry him. Referring to herself, the statement says:
 Two days after the night upon which Harry Thaw shot Stanford White at Madison Square Garden we received this telegram:
 It is most important for you to say absolutely nothing. (signed) F..
 T immediately formed the resolution that I should say nothing to any one 1 pending the outcome of the trial of Harry Thaw, which realized must take place, This is the only communi- cation that has come to me from my ] daughter since the murder. ! T did say nothing. I remained quiet. I have remained silent until now, and l would have kept silent had it not been for the attacks on me made by MT. Delmas in his closing address to 1 the Thaw jury. I made no statement to District Attorney Jerome or to any of his representatives. I have had privileged and private communication with persons whom regarded as per. sonal friends Aside from these I have not commented upon the case. Neither
 did l aid the district attorney in any
 way in preparing his notes for the I prosecution of Harry Thaw Neither
 MT. Jerome, MT. Garvin, or MT. Hart
 ridge came to Pittsburg to see me 1 neither have I seen them here or else l where"

STEER A BIG ONE,

It Weighs Just 1,516 Pounds Dressed.
 The carcass of the largest steer that ever arrived in this city, not excepting the blue ribbon winners which were in this city last fall, is now on exhibition at the local branch of the Armour & Co. on Fair street. This bovine in life was phenomenally large, for according to one, Andrew, a former habitue of western cattle ranches, who came in for look, this animal must have weighed in the neghborhood of 2,500 pounds on the hoof. Whatever he weighed when he was fattening on the ranches in Kansas, he weighed 1,516 when he arrived here dressed Monday. The word of the big fellows arrival passed rapidly among the beef men in the wholesale district along State street and yesterday all of them were taking a look. A view of forequarter of this beast reminds one of the side of brick house, four stories high This must have been the steer that a drummer told this story about at the Garde hotel the other night.
 Said he: Some one was telling me that Topeka was a fine city and I wanted to see something of it while I was passing through a week ago, but COW stood in the way" This man may have had grudge against Tope- ka.
 The average steer when dressed weighs about 700 pounds, so the big fel- low is more than twice the average weight. Last November Armours local branch got some blue ribbon winners at a Kansas show, but these are small compared with this latest arrival, which is said to be the largest ever shipped into New England.

A sale of 300 shares of Lackawanna yesterday at 460, or 13 points down, at tracted some attention, It was thought to represent a forced" transaction, perhaps to raise cash to help out a weak account, or for some other pur- pose. It is some time since there have been any transactions of this magni- tude in Lackawanna.

Canadian Pacific was aggressively strong, with raise of several points. It was probably the result of a driv- ing in of the shorts by the pool. It is some weeks since this stock has been conspicuous. The last instance was during the Easter holidays, when Lon don was closed on the Monday follow ing Easter. That was the day Can adlan Pacific rose to 1S9 3-4. The pre- vious Thursday it had closed around 167.

Colorado Leads In Wheat.

When farmers, touring the state
here for short time, from other
states where wheat 10 one OF the great
crops, see wheat growing on the Colo
radu farms, IL is the signal for them
to tell OF the big yield OF wheat made
by them on their home acres, and how
far II outclasscs any yields made by
Colorldo's acres,
Oftentimes the Colorado farmer
who listens u them, while he knows
that Colorado land will yield more
than the Eastern land, must accept
the statement OF the visiting farmer
As gospel, because he has not figures
10 refute IL.
The Department OF Agriculture has
prepared . statement OF statistics
telling the yield by states Of the differ
ent crops raised in the United STATES
A few facts about the wheat crop of
Colorado, compiled from this volume
by the Colorado State Commercial
Association, prove interesting TO the
Colorado farmer. They are as fol.
lows;
During the year 1906, there were s.
2Gf, ,53s bushels or wheat grown on
25i,355 acres OF land In this state, or
an average yield OF 32.5 bushels per
acre.
The yield in other states for the
same year, according tn the govern
ment statistics, was: Wyoming, 2s. !
bushels; Maine, 2t.s bushels; Ne.
braska, % bushels; Indiana, 20.7 BUSH
els; Ohio, 2o.i bushels; Illinois, 1875
bushels; Wisconsin, 1873 bushels:
South Dakota, l3.4 bushels; North
Dakota, 10 bushels: Minnesota, 1913
bushels.
The average yield OF wheat In 1897
in Colorado was only "a bushels, and
it is due to the careful selection OF
seed suited TO the soil and climatic
conditions that Colorado land NOW
makes the highest average yield OF
any wheat land in the United States.
And wheat is not the only crop in
which Colorado leads.

Here is one way the steel trust
handles things: Blacksmiths used to
buy hurseshoe iron to make their own
shoes during the dull times, and only
buy ready made shoes when they
were rushed. Finally the steel trust
raised the price OF the iron so that it
costs the same as the Ghoes ready for
use. IL ig claimed that an inferior
quality OF iron was used In the horses
shoes than in the iron rods from which
the blacksmith makes the shoes. and
that the home made shoes will out
last the manufactured ones. Black.
smiths cannot get enough for their
work to Justify them 10 making their
own shoes, 20 they buy them ready to
put on. Old time blacksmiths used to
make over old shoes intp new ones,
but few do so now. The old shoes are
sold for twenty cents hundred
pounds. New ones cost $3.50 per cwt.
Two pld shoes are used In making one
new one. Horse shoes weigh from
two to eight pounds pair, according
to the size Of the shoes and the kline
of work the horse does. Shoes for 8
race horse will not weigh a pount

One Turner, who claimed to be a
Santa Fe engineer, and past exalted
ruler OF the Atlanta, Ca, lodge OF
Elks, attempted to do the town up
brown last Friday, but was caught
just as he and his frau we're about to
leave town on Santa Fe passenger
train for greener fields and pastures
new. On the strength Of his being an
Elk he had 20 difficulty In securing un
limited credit, and worked the game
to Q fraz4le-even unto an ELABORATE
dollar lunch for himself wrapped up
in gaily decorated pasteboard box.
He secured credit for about $40 worth
OF liquid refreshments at one of our
thirst parlors, and also arrayed him
self in purple and fine linen, at a
gents furnishing store. His wife was
also inveighed into the easy game,
and for her adornment one OF our dry
goods merchants was induced to part
with an $lS silk skirt and some screen
door hosiery. The way of the trans
gressor, when he is found out, is hard,
and it proved so in this case. The
various creditors got wise to the fact
that they had got huncoed, congregat.
ed in bunch at the depot and decid-
ed to stand and wait, and maybe serve
a few Things when the confidence
man attempted to make his getaway.
When the man and his wife showed
up the bunch of creditors looked
threatening, and the confidence man
decided to square up as far as he
could. He liquidated with all Of the
creditors except the dry goods man.

cJmpense. apd. as the railroad mans
