PLEAD GUILTY; WAS INNOCENT
Remarkable Case Comes to Light in
Russia.

ST. Petersburg.-The extraordinary
case of the Veselis, father and son,
who voluntarily went to penal serVi-
tude and death for crime they never
committed, is agitating society in East
Russia.
Four years ago Trina Veseli. daugh-
ter of n SimbrSll noble, eloped from
her home with Il married official, .Iak-
ovleff. Jakovleff was shortly after
ward put on trial for forging receipts
for government moneys which he had
never paid out. but was acquitted on
technical grounds.
The girls father, driven mad by
the double shame resolved to kill the
pair, and forced his only son, Ste
phen, to agree to help in the execu-
ton.
Accor ding to the plot. father and
son were to visit Jakovleff's lodgings
on a pretended mission of reconciliatio
and drop poison into the glasses of
both Jakovleff and his mistress. The
son, however, relented. The day be-
fore the proposed murder he warned
the intended victims, who promptly
fled from Russia.
Fearing his fathers anger, Stephen
Veseli invented an extraordinary
story. He related how he himself had
killed his sister and her lover, The
bodies, he declared, had been burned.
Veseli believed his son. The towns
people assumed that Jakovleff and
Mile. Veseli had emigrated in order
to escape from humiliating position.
For a year all went well.
Old Veseli fell ill and seemed at
deaths door He recovered almost
miraculously and attributed his saliva
ton to the intention of Providence
that he should atone for his crime. He
confessed the murder. AT the trial,
when the father retailed the whole
plot, the son maintained an absolute
silence. Stephan was sentenced to
ten years. his father to eight years,
penal servitude.
On the island of Saghalien the elder
Veseli was killed by a fellow convict.
His son was sent to the mainland dur
ing the war with Japan and drowned
at Nikolaevsk.
The tragedy was forgotten. But dur
ing the present summer there arrived
at Simbirsk under the name of johann
sen a man and woman who were at
once recognized as the supposed vic
tins of the Veselis' crime. They ad-
mitted their identity. explained that
they had fed to Buenos Ayres and had
heard nothing of their relatives since
they left Russia.
When Trina Veseli heard of the fate
of her father and brother she tainted
and lay insensible twelve hours.

THE PRACTICAL NEW WOMAN.
She Is at Home Anywhere and Can
Manage a Farm.

Num-, Colo.-Coming to Mum two
years ago for the benefit of her health,
Miss Jennie Pettyjohn. an obscure.
though pretty Denver milliner. by ren-
son of her business ability, push and
energy, has become the foremost and
most influential business woman
northern Colorado.
This town of 500 inhabitants. which
was until year and half ago, wide,
barren stretch of prairie. with here
and there u rancher's home to break
the monotouy, owes much to this ener.
getc woman of twenty-eight or thirty
years.
Largely through her efforts many
settlers are reclaiming the desert lands
in that vicinity which promise to be-
come one OF the most productive in
Colorado.
When Miss Pettyjohn first deter
mined to live out of doors as much as
possible in order to benefit her health,
she sele tied the country near Num-.
seventy-two miles from Denver on the
Union Pacific railway, as being eXcep-
tionally desirable because of its few
human habitations and because it pre-
scented an opportunity for development.
Taking up 1GO acres of land. more
than half of which are now under cul-
tivation, she made her start with the
meager savings of several years In the
millinery business. Seeing the posi-
bilities of the country she secured OPP
tions on thousands of acres of land,
and has since held those options while
. I,, vii n
double and treble the price asked
when she first went there.
The beginning of the new irrigation
ditch has meant much to her. as it in
sures her sale of the property at an
excellent profit before the time limit
on the options expire, since the ditch
will be completed by May l, 1908.
Wishing to put her land under cultiva'
ton as soon as possible she has hired
workmen and built many miles OF
fence to protect her own land and
some OF that on option from stray cat
tie, and also to get it in line for inn
provement as soon as possible
Lots in the townsite of Num- have
proved one of the best speculations
for her. She bought several at low
price and has since sold them for four
times what they cost her.
Every time she heard of person
in Denver or elsewhere who wanted
land she has interested them in Weld
county land. particularly about Num-
and has almost invariably succeeded
in getting them to settle in or near
that township. 1t is estimated that in
this way she has secured settlers for
10000 tcres.
All this goes to show that the pres
ent-day new woman" is equally at
home anywhere. In Denver there arc
lady BARRIERS, lawyers. doctors, brokers
and women engaged in other lines OF
business. The experience and success
of Miss Pettyjohn proves that women
as real estate agents. providing they
have the right qualifications, can pros
per as well, If not better, than men en-
gagged in the same line.

Justice Brewer, of the United States
supreme court is said to be the author
of this story: A witness testified in
a certain case that a person named
Mary was present when particular
conversation took place and the ques-
ton was asked: "What did Mary
say?" This was objected to and after
some discussion the Judge ruled out
the question. An exception to this
decision was Immediately taken and
on appeal the higher court reversed
the verdict and ordered a new trial
on the ground that the question
should have been answered.
At the second trial the same inquiry
was propounded and ELECTED the infor-
nation that MARY said nothing"

A Ventilation Test.

1t is very hard to make an impress
sion on those people who defend their
possessions on all occasions. A lady
was explaining to a visitor the many
advantages of concrete hollow-block
construction, of which the walls of
her new home were built.
"The air spaces in the walls afford
insulation against heat in summer and
cold in winter" she explained. BE
sides, such walls afford ventilation
and insure more healthful house"
The visitor reflected a moment, and
replied:
Our frame house must be quite as
we'll built. Every night we lock the
cat in the cellar, and have to let her
out of the attic in the morning.

TRANSFORMATIONS.
Curious Results When Coffee Drinking
Is Abandoned.

It is almost as hard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use of coffee as it is
for whisky or tobacco fiend to break
off, except that the coffee user eau
quit coffee and take up Postum with
out any feeling of a loss of the morn
ing beverage, for when Postum is we'll
boiled and served with cream, it is
really better in point of flavor than
most of the coffee served nowadays,
and to the taste of the connoisseur it
is like the flavor of fine, mild Java.
A great transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee is left off and
Postum used, for the reason that the
poison to the Observation-Disclosures

taken liquid food that contains the
most powerful elements of nourish-

BRYAN FINDS
RUNNING MATE
LEWIS sTuYvESAkT CHAMBER
OF NEW YORK is PICKED.
JOHNSON DOWN AN D OUT
POLITICAL POT is BEG INNING TO
BOIL IN EARNEST.

New York.-That William Jennings
Bryan and Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler
will head the Democratic ticket as can
didates for President and vice presi'
dent, in the next national campaign,
is an assured fact, from the New York
standpoint.
This forecast is based upon recent
occurrences One. the formal state
ment made by Governor John Johnson
of Minnesota that he is not and has
not been n candidate for the nomina-
ton for president, and his declaration
that he knows that William j. Bryan
is, and has been. candidate for the
presidency for the past three months.
With Johnson, his most formidable
rival, out of the way, the nomination
of Bryan, in the eyes of the leaders
here, is assured. That he will have
the support of Tammany Hall and
therefore will get the vote of New
York state in the convention is also
assured.
The victory of Charles F. Murphy as
leader of Tammany Hall in the Demo
cratic primaries means that Murphy
and his friends will be able to control
the vote of New York state in the next
national convention.
This means, 1t is pointed out. that
Murphy and his combination will be
in position to demand some recoSni-
ton when the nominations are made.
and that these leaders will demand
something substantial is certain. They
are now booming and will probably
continue to boom Lewis Stuyvesant
Chanler of New York, who was the
first Democrat TO carry the state in
years, for President, but their real
purpose, however, is to secure his
nomination for vice president. In Or
der to gain this end, if for no other,
Murphy will support Bryan for the
nomination, for he realizes that the
latter will have much to say on this
question.
Tammany's Game.
The Murphyites are particularly
anxious to secure the Chanler nom
nation, for with him as vice president
they expect to carry the state of New
York again for their candidate for gov
ernor and perhaps secure Demo
cratic Legislature.
! The latter is the objective point
for with the state government in their
hands the Democratic political leaders
who have been out of Office for many
years will be able to rehabilitate theiI
machine. The latter is still sadly in
need of repairs, especially as the last
campaign with its distraction over
William Randolph Hearst proved q
great strain on the ancient concern.
What Hearst expects to do and wha'
attitude he will assume toward onI
| or the other of the two national par
| ties is not yet quite clear. The an
nounced intention of the independence
| league to go it alone in the next cam
paign, on the heels of the published
statement from Mr.. Hearst that undel
no circumstances would he be agar
candidate for President, has con
founded the politicians in both parties
As General Grosvenor of Ohio. has cor
rectly estimated. Hearst still holds tht
balance of power in the Empire state
and therefore, as well as because o.
his influence in other localities, he
must be reckoncd with.

Starch were used. In order to get the
