Palmer Proves
His Innocence

In Jail for seven weeks. his name
not asked. Thomas Palmer yesterday
escaped by a narrow margin being
bound over to the superior court for
larceny, of which he was not guilty,
and which the real author of which
he has proven is not himself.
On Sunday night October II, Har-
ry McCleary went out to the farm of
Rheinold Harras. to spend the night
with Henry Wood, who was employed
there. He remained but a short time,
however, and then disappeared, and at
the same time a horse, saddle and
bride disappeared also.
McCleary went to the lodging house
of Mrs Wallace, over the Johnson
feed mill, at the corner of Third and
Rose, and there asked if he could leave
the saddle. He was told that there
was little room, but as he had been
there before, Mrs. Wallace said she
would make room. He then borrowed
so cents of the woman to get a bed
that night. He said he was going to
ride, in the relay race at the fair and
had no place to leave the saddle.
The next morning he said he had
given up riding at the fair and asked
for the saddle, saying that he would
sell it and then repay the money. He
was accompanied by Palmer, who
did not know him any further than
that he says he had met him but the
afternoon before.
The saddle was sold for Sc and
the payments were, made on the in
stallment plan, McCleary getting two.
one of $3.50 and another of $1.50.
Palmer got the third, 81. But he
claimes he knew nothing of the sad
die being stolen. However his identity
became mixed with that of the real
thief and he was locked up and regis
tered in the Jail as McCleary.
When his hearing came yesterday
afternoon. Constable Peterson went
over to the Jail and brought him into
court. He ascertained at once that
his name is not McCleary but Thomas
Palmer. Palmer protested his innO-
cence in court and said he could
prove by the woman who kept the
boarding house that he neither took
the saddle there nor carried it away,
but that he merely accompanied Nc
Cleary when he went after it. Asked
the location of the boarding house, he
was unable to give it; but said he
could go to it, if given a chance. Upon
his pleading he was finally allowed to
go up town with Constable Peterson
and the two found the lodging house.
Mrs. Wallace corrobOrated his story,
saying he had not brought the saddle
there and had only accompanied the
man who took it away. At. the trial
this morning, she appeared in court
and told the same story. and Palmer
was discharged, after seven weeks of

possible will be put forth this winter to
secure just as large a general appro-
priation as possible. There is no
election ahead now and for that rea-
son there will be no need of fearing
that the people will cry extravaganza.
The bill is going to be big one, if the
information that knowing ones have
given is correct, and judging from the
present prospects every stream in the
country is going to become navigable
before the next session of congress
is over.
Another noticeable feature in con-
nection with the approaching session
is that a very large number Of men
democrats and republicans alike
failed of denomination and these are
going to put in some good work for
their people before they give up their
seats. There are many cases on record
where men have been ide-tracked for
a time and later returned to congress,
and some of those who failed to be
reelected take that view of the situa-
tion Instead of giving up and saying
there's no use as they will soon be out
anyway, the majority of the unfortu-
nate fellows are looking at the matter
optimistically and hoping that in the
ever changing political game they
may come to the front For that reason
they are going to exert themselves
more than ever to make good during
their last days.

will Consider
Appointments

For the purpose of threshing out the
question of appointive officers, the
city council will meet this evening
in adjourned session, the regular meet
ing of Tuesday being postponed out OF
respect to NJ NJ. Hart, father of City
Clerk 7. D. S. Hart, who died Tuesday
morning. The matter of appointive
officers was laid over from the pre-
vious meeting, and was made the spec
ial order of business for this ses-
sion. -
AS far as can be learned there Will
be no changes made in any of tne OIL
GERS. although it is rumored that one
or two of the city dads have rea' or
fancied grievances and will endeaVor
to start something. A number OF mem
hers of the council, however. have ex-
pressed the opinion that no changes
will he made. and that the present in
cumbents of the various offices VIII
be continued in service.

REPORTS on the condition of winter
sown wheat all over the United States
up to December first say that the crop
in the nation now rates at
10. as against 80 for the same season
last year. whereas it is a generally
recognized fact that fall-sown grain
in this part Of the country is better
than has ever been known here.
The plant is we'll up, has a srrong,
healthy growth, with few, if any, weeds,
and the recent rains which came just
as needed have resulted in giving the
fields an appearance that makes the
heart of every farmer glad.

experienced here since the crop of
1ooe was harvested. Club is quoted
at so IL cents, and prospects are for
a large crop next year, with a con-
tinuance of present prices Reports
from the great wheat belt of Eureka
Flat are unanimous in the statement
that never before in the history of
wheat growing on the lighter lands
have conditions been more favorable
for a big growth prior to the cold
weather, and those farmers who have
large tracts seeded to wheat are con-
fident that damage by frost will this
wear be exceptionally light, because
of the fact that the grain has at
tanned such a splendid growth, and
has advanced beyonu the tender per-
iod. when even a slight frost will do
considerable damage.
Weeds are fewer than has been the
rule on the Flat in many years past
and fields which were formerly al
most over-run with them are now said

ers attribute this to the rains which
fell in time to give the grain the
needed start, but did not come in time
for the weed. A number of wheat
growers of the Flat who have expert
enced more or less hard luck from
different sources for the past two
years, are banking heavily on the 1905
crop putting them all to the good, and
as result business is good, and there

hearing today and entered the last
stages of cross examination by Frank

memoranda purporting to show the
gradual increase of capital of the
Standard Oil company of California,

Kellogg asked about the affairs of
the California company and inquired
particularly about the contract with.
the Barnsdale Oil company, which
Kellogg said has shown a loan of ST.
$4,000 to the head of that concern
Archbold said he made a search but
was unable to find copy of the con-
tract. Kellogg then said that the

the Pitsburg bank and could be pro-
duced if necessary. He asked Arch
bold to produce the original.

Among those responsible for the
assertion that the coming congress
will not take up the subject OF tarlf1

as one having authority. Nor does ne
believe that the congressional none
tary commission, of which he Is
member. will soon be ready to ADVISE
any radica, changes in the nations

Speaking of immediate tariff re-
vision Senator Hale said: "Once in
while you will hear such a sugges-
ton, but it is clearly out of the ques-
ton and it will not be undertaken
And. it is safe to say that there Will
not be any radical changes when the
much talked Of revision is made.
Recent events have made it certain
that there viii be no slaughtering OF
interests. 1t IS clear that the country
does not expect nor court such a
course, and congress will not enter
upon it."
The senator expects the extra ses-
sion to be called very soon after March
: He does not count upon any I'M

OF the appropriation bills during the

The reason for this is that the sea-
