HUSBANDS SAD STORY

Leavenworth, Aug. 26.-The Times
says:
After a hunt of seven years for his
wife and her lover to rebuke their al
legged infidelity with the sternness of
the law, to fulfill a vow and a promise
made at the deathbed of her son and
his; a search which led the wronged
husband from life of rectitude to the
haunts of vice for money with which
to continue the pursuit A. Burie
Hayes of Lebanon, Mo, was rewarded
here last night by the arrest of Jane
Hayes, his wife, and Ed Eifert. her
paramour, on the charge of adultery
! seven years to the day after she left
yer home.
, On the 9Th of November, 1881, A.
B. Hayes and his bride celebrated
their nuptials. They settled on the
comfortable Missouri farm near Lee
banon to spend a life of felicity and
peace A happy family grew up to be
the pride of the pair.
One day Hayes met a promising
youth while on an errand in Schuyler
county and being pleased with his ap-
pearance took him to the Lebanon
farm to work. The young man was
Ed Eifert. He had been employed on
the farm but a few months when
Hayes discharged him and Eifert dis
appeared. Soon after. on August "a,
1900. Mrs. Hayes left home never to
return and apparently without reason
or provocation.
Hayes was reluctantly forced by the
slow accumulation of evidence to be-
lieve that his wife had followed
Eifert. There were a few hours of
anguish and regrets and then the
desperate undying resolve was made
which led Hayes to spend his ALL to
abandon his farm and resort to every
available means, to the sacrifice of
honor almost. to find the woman who
had ruined his life.
The oldest son. Rufus Hayes, left
his home, cutting off all communica-
ton with the unhappy family, to bury
himself in the search for his recreant
mother. The search was unavailing

LETS THEM KNOW
Attorney General Jackson
Prints the Record.
Bill in Chancery" Against the
Harvester Trust.
AN ILLINOIS SUIT
Used for Information in the
Kansas Action.
An Interesting Series of Special
Questions.

Attorney General Jackson has had
printed large number of copies of
the $50 page bill in chancery" filed
| in Illinois by Margaret G. Swift in her
suit against the International Harves-
ter company.
These books are for distribution, and
it is suspected that each county at
torney in the state will get one. This
may be the preliminary step in a new
series of attacks to be delivered by the
county attorneys of the state against
the International Harvester company.
1t is possible that the conference of
county attorneys held here a few
days ago may result in the filing of a
suit against the International Harves-
ter company in every county in the
state.
The suit of Margaret G. Swift
against the International is of particu-
lar interest because in it the charge
was made that the International Har-
vester company had spent $4,000 in
corrupting the Kansas Legislature of
1903 to prevent the passage of the ex-
elusive contract bill The 1903 legis-
lature beat the bill. but the 1907 ses-
sion passed it, though it, was well
known during the last session that the
Harvester people had hired Tom Kelly
as their agent to prevent the passage
of the bill.
Margaret Swift intimated that the
$4,000 fund was handled through
Rossington. Smith & Histed of this
city and that the special agent of the
company was a B. l.. ReeS. The suit
was brought to secure an accounting
of the affairs of the International Har-
veSter company, and a restoration to
the funds of that company of pay
ments illegally made for the purpose
of corrupting legislatures in various
states. Kansas was only one of
dozen states mentioned.
One of the interesting features of
the case was the long series of special
questions propounded by the plaintiff
to Cyrus H. Mccormick. head of the
harvester trust. These questions were
never answered. for the case was set
tied out of court.
Some of these questions relating to
the Kansas situation. were as follows:
did the International Harvester
company, or any officer or agent there
of. to your knowledge, ever expend any
money in any way. manner or form
with a view to or for the purpose of
influencing proposed legislation pend
ing before the legislature of the state
ment of such legislation? If so. what
amount was expended, when and by
whom was the same expended, and to
whom was the same so paid?
did the International Harvester
company of America in the year 1903
have in its employ in the state of Kan
sas an agent by the name of B. L.
Rees?
did the agent of either of said COM
panies by the name of B. L. Rees, or
any other agent or person, during the
year 1908, or at any other time, send
to the International Harvester COM
pany or to any director or officer
thereof. to your knowledge. or did
any director or officer of said COM
pany, to your knowledge. receive
from said Rees. or from any other

Worker Tries to Run the Court.

Kansas City, Aug. 26.-Probate
Judge Van B. Prather and Assistant
Attorney General c.. w. Trickett in

hearing of Mrs. Rosie Zuzich. Judge
Prather discharged her a few days ago

rearrested on another warrant. Judge
Prather again discharged her on a

Wolfe. who attended the hearing, not
to pay any attention to the writ is
sued by the court. Judge Prather
threatened to send Trickett to jail if
he interfered with his orders.
Trickett then said that Judge
Prather could be charged with con-
tempt of the court of common pleas.
This only caused the judge of the
probate court to smile and say that
whenever Trickett was ready to have
him arrested for contempt he was at
liberty to do so. Judge Prather held
that persons could not be held in con-
tempt of court when they did not
know that an injunction was standing
against the building in which they
lived.

The parade contains plenty of cow
boys and calf-girls, soldiers and In
dams. 1t also contains all sizes and
conditions of stage coaches, prairie
schooners, horses, buffalo and other
wild west accessories. The Indians
are the genuine article in full war
regalia and paint. The parade is ably
filled out at the little end with the
best looking and best sounding caliope
seen here in many seasons.
One of the features of the show is
the fake train robbery, which is said
to be so realistic that spectators in
variably grab for their pocketbooks
when the masked bandits, armed with
ancient muskets, pile tout Of the phony

the parade, but make no attempt to
hold up the onlookers. The box office

Little Dash of Excitement at

Pawnee Bills parade is a large one,

weather-beaten enough to look quite
genuine. The eastern section of the

that Mr.. Pawnee- Bill will realize
enough on the parade to meet the ex-

Pawnee Bill saw the animal while
he was at the 101 ranch of Miller
Brothers and was impressed with his
style and beauty and expressed a de-
sire to own him and it is not unlikely
that a deal will be made before the

HANDLING TRUCK.
Some Suggestions For Picking and
Packing Tomatoes.


Peas. beans, cuculnbers and tona
toes will be coming along soon. How
about packages in which to ship them?
II you have not already done So better
lay in a supply at once, suggests
writer in Farm Journal.
The packing sheds-are they in good
shape? And the picking baskets and
boxes for handling cucumbers, toma
toes and the like-are they ready for
use?
Cultivate the tomatoes as long as you
can get through without injury to
vines. If the vines are staked and
tied up. it will pay to keep the culti-
vator going until the season is well ad
vanced, especially If the weather is
dry. Regular shallow cultivation in
dry weather will prolong the season.
increase the size and improve the quail
ity Of the fruit.
At first tomatoes will need picking
only every other day, but as the season
advances it should be done every day.
If they are to be shipped to a distant
market, they should he picked as soon
as the tirst tinge Of red appears. but
don't pick them too green. For ship
ping tomatoes there is no better pack
age than the four basket crate. They
should be- packed so that the fruit In
each case is uniform in size and color.
The ideal thing is twelve tomatoes to
the basket, six In each layer. They
will bear considerable pressure if not
overripe, and the basket should he
full enough SO that the covers will
press firmly on the top layer.
If picked at the right stage and
properly packed. tomatoes will carry
all right a distance Of 300 miles In a
ventilated car Beyond that distance
they should so in a freezer
Don't forget that 1t often requires
more skill successfully to market a
crop than it does to grow 1t. Are you
prepared to narket yours so that you
will get the most out of it?
