During the night of October II some of
Mulai Hafig's men made a third raid
on the custom house at Mazagan and
seized 100000 cartridges, and on the fol-
lowing night they made a fourth raid on
the same place and captured 100000 more

that he guarantees the protection of all

gan to return to Morocco City and re-
sumo their business there, and ordering
his representatives to furnish them with
everything necessary to enable them to
make the return trip to the capital of the

trolling certain Moorish sects which are

ering party proceeding yesterday from

said, result in the resumption of HOSTILE
ties on the part of the French troops COM
manded by General Drude.
The Importance of the disturbance in
the southern part of the empire is proved
by the departure from here today of the
French squadron. The war ships are run
ming south under full steam. They were

Both Mr.. and Mrs. Jordan testified yes

taken a second dose of poison after his
visit to the Jordan house on Wednes-
day.

Mr.. Jordan. 1T was impossible for her
to have obtained poison. When l took
the bottle of poison from her | gave il

There was no other poison in the house.
except bottle of carbolic acid, which
we bought when there was diphtheria in
the family"
Mrs. Jordan. when asked about the
poison, said: when my husband gave
me the bottle | took it outside and emp
tied ii. After emptying it l rinsed the
bottle with warm water. so that not
drop OF the poison remained in II. There
was no other poison in the house, ex-
cept the bottle of carbolic acid, and even

Wilcox Changes Front.

DR.. C. F. Wilcox was allowed to tes-
tify during an interruption in Jordans
statement. He admitted that he was
called to the Jordan house on Wednesday
afternoon, about twenty hours before the
girls death.
He felt sure that the girl was out of
danger when he left her. and that her
death was due to a second dose of poison,
taken after he went away.
Thursday afternoon, he said, he again
visited the dying girl, leaving her about
fifteen minutes before her death.
DR. Wilcox, who on Friday told pic
turesque stories to a group of newspaper
reporters concerning a mental malady
which made Miss Jordan lead two distinct
existences, had a different tale for the
coroner's jury.
After the inquest DR.. Wilcox was ques-
toned by a Herald reporter concerning
his change of front DIR. Wilcox admitted
that he had told the story of the girls
dual personality substantially as reported,
but that he had used medical phrases in
stead of reportorial English. He said he
had not denied the facts. but the phras-
ing.
Miss Jordan was a victim of form
of epilepsy" said DIR. Wilcox, 'and sur
fered attacks from which she emerged

Mrs. haroid's Letter.
1t was delivered at the JorAln house,
SSS Wall street. after Miss Jordans death
and had apparently been written while
the girl was dying. 1t was as follows:

meant for you to get back. Lille. your
mother treated me awfully cool over the
phone. She acts as If you and she were

anything / could for you, as you know,
and have never done one thing to get you
TO do wrong.
Lille, feel terrible about this, as
don't want you TO be mad at me. You
have no cause to be. l told your mother
was coming up TO see you, and she
gave me to understand she did not want
me to, which made me feel quite bad.
Il received letter from Will with

Father Deeply Affected.
Conrad Jordan, father of the dead girl,
repeated on the witness stand the story
as told in his statement in Sundays Her
aid, giving the names of the principal
actors in the extraordinary case When
asked why his daughter had been buried
so quickly after her death. the funeral
having taken place the day after she
died. he said:
1.-The undertaken told me that it would
be necessary to embalm the body if we
kept the body longer than one day. 1
did not feel that | could afford this ex-
pense. That was the only reason"
The strain of retelling the terrible story
of his daughters death affected Mr.. Jor-
dan deeply. He was able to maintain his
cOmpOsure upon the stand, but when Mrs.
Jordan was called TO testify and several
times broke into tears, he rose from his
chair and left the room. pacing the cor
ridor outside as he fought with his emo
ton.
Mrs. Jordan was reluctant to go into
the details of some of the confessions of
the dead girl. When it came to describing
what Miss Jordan declared had happened
at the Harold house she buried her face
in her hands and yielded to a tempest
OF teaIs. When informed that ii was
her duty to tell the full story, she obeyed,
making brave effort to regain her COM
posture. She seemed so weak, however,
that her husband got her a glass of water
hands, jordan exclaimed:
Il wish l had that man here"
He seemed stirred to the point Of des
peration.

Michigan Experiment Station Bulletin
on Seed Corn.

The Michigan Experiment Station
has tested many ears of seed corn in
the spring OF 1907. The per cent of
ears with low termination is so large
as to warrant the printing of caution
TO farmers against planting untested
seed. The best that can be done at
present in the way of seed testing
is to take five kernels from different
parts of the ear and plant them in a
square WHICH can be recognized as
belonging 10 that ear. Shallow boxes
full,| an inch~deep are~filled with sand
and divided into squares an inch and
half by an inch and half, using
twine stretched across the top of the
box to mark the divisions. Keep the
soil wet and warm. Allow as many
kernels as will to germinate, then
grow for three or four days to COM
pare the vigor. Reject all ears which
do not show an even growth of the
young plants and termination of
at least four out of five kernels tested
a trial was made on the college
farm of several varieties of corn to
determine their relative yields on
plots of equal size. The varieties
with the yields of corn and Of stalks

Four New Trains.

1t is announced that the Grand
Trunk flyers will be put on next Sun
day, April 2S, and that there will be
four of them, making twelve passen-
ger trains daily, instead OF two fly
ers, as formerly.
The two 'flers that were on last
summer, eastbound shortly after 9
a. m, and westbound about 7 p. m,
will be supplemented by a west
bound train passing through Owosso
at about 10 o'clock, just before the
regular westbound, and an eastbound
train at 7:3o in the evening, connect
ing with the steamboats, in Detroit.
The ID. & NJ branch of the Grand
Trunk has always been a good pas
5enger road, and from all evidences,
especially the above, the officials must
figure that it is better than ever.

Ear
Corn

Where ears OF corn were separately
shclled and the product of each ear
planted in single row until the
shelled corn from los ears had been
planted in 10S rows, great varieties
in yield were observed. The same
number of hills were planted in each
row. The highest yield was 267 lbs,
of which 232 lbs. were merchantable
ears. One of the smallest yields was
l57 lbs, of which 102 lbs. were mer-
chantable ears. Note that one ear
shellcd gave seed which yielded less
than half as much merchantable corn
as did All equal number of hills plant
ed with the kernels from another car
and yet there were no outward char
acteristics to determine by inspection
which ear would be most productive
Thirty-six seed ears from the three
highest yielding rows were compared
with Is seed ears from the three

BURTON FARMERS CLUB.

On Thursday, April 4, the Burton
Farmers Club held pleasant meet
ing at the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. G.
T. Mason, and although the weather
threatened storm, nearly all the
members were present.
A social time was enjoyed until
dinner was disposed of, after which
the usual opening exercises were held,
and then the questions were taken up
and discussed in lively manner.
Some of the members are in favor
Of paying the road tax in money, and
have the work done by some one
who knows how 10 do it right. AS it
IS done now the roads are in bad
shape. Some Of the pathmasters go
on the roads in the fall and plow them
up and scrape the dirt into the center
of the road, then they leave it with
out even leveling it or rolling it. The
rains come on and the sugar beet
raisers draw heavy loads over it until
il is regular quagmire.
II is to ride over In the spring, when
It thaws out the roads are almost inn
passable. Some of the members
think the old way good enough, as it
saves a little money in their pockets,
and they can get along some way, if
they have to cut up the sod clear to
the fences.
There was quite discussion on
hat 4
Shakesperian plays or not. &. Some
were decidedly against it; thought it
would lead young people astray.
Others thought it all right, and
even reminded the strict ones that
the scriptures were put on the stage,
and that the most sacred scene of the
Bible was acted out at Oberamergau
once in every ten years, the actors
being trained from children to act
these scenes.
