the capitol conspiracy case, in order
to further illustrate that in paying
for the capitol furniture the state was
made to pay for air space, new ex-
hibits of furniture and photographs
of the rostrums in the senate and
house cloak rooms was offered by
the commonwealth John II. San
derson collected $9O,74S and paid
the subcontractor who made them
$4,000.
Fred II. Potter of the Audit com
pany OF New York, was called to
identify from his inventory of the
capitol furniture his furniture in the
house Of representatives. The testi-
mony developed that in the general
crowding of the capitol with surplus
furniture no system was observed,
no record was kept and as result
some of the sofas cannot be found.
Potter produced an inventory of all
the furniture found in the capitol
and testified that the measurements
were false. The speakers chair from
the house was exhibited. When 1t
was announced that the chair had
been billed at SO feet at $29O per
foot, totaling $671, spectators gave
a prolonged whistle. The chair
measured 81 inches front, 20 inches
deep and 90 inches high. Mr.. Pot
ter said the only possible way of get
ting the number of feet charged for
by Sanderson for the chair was by
computing the contents of box that
would cover it,

How Farmer connor's "Tru.'N Paper"
Relieves an Oklahoma strlneeney.
At n place called Canadian. not far
from Muskogee, Okla, there is an
freshman named j. +, Connor says the
Wichita Beacon. lie Is member OF
The tribe, having married an Indian
woman. IIp has lived there at least
thirty years, and everybody at or near
Canadian knows him He has nine
children, each of whom has 800 acres
Of land. The family has about 1900
acres of ground. and as Mr.. Conner Is
Il fine farmer and has brought UP his
family to be farmers there Is enough
property In sight to inspire confidence

and one son Joined In the note. 1t
was for IS. when hc offered 1t he
found that II was good and the people
eaok 1t readily.
Then he went into the business Of
issuing checks, but In a most novel
form. lie made the check payable to
bearer, but not good If Endorsed. The
signature was not j, L, Conner, but
J, +, Connor's farm, The idea was
that the farm backed the note and not
the man; hence the clause that an In
dorsement would yitiate It by putting
mere mans name on un equality
with the farm.
Another popularity Of the check Is
that II Is payable In cotton, wheat
oats, potatoes, hay, eggs, poultry and,
In short, anything produced on the
farm. II Is also payable IN cashiers
checks or anything that passes for
money except the currency itself.
Now these notes are doing the work
Of currency In Canadian and another
town near there, and every merchant
In both towns accepts them as freely
as lf they We're greenbacks and even
more readily than bank checks from
places farther away,

Iow It Saved Life Of Boy Who De

A pet crow belonging to Carl En-
teldt, Ave years old, son Of Herman En-
feldt of Troy Hills n. j., was the
means Of saving the boys life the other
lay. says special dispatch from Troy
Hills to the New York Tribune.
Enfeldt was working about his barn
when Kaiser. the bird, came flying
from a piece of woods near by. cawing
yociferously. The crow circled about
the farmers head several times and
then few toward the woods again,
Enfeldt considered the birds antics I'M
usual and followed to the point where
the bird was tapping its wings and
making a great commotlon, The
sounds led to a secluded spot, where
the boy lay on the ground, His foot
had caught In vine, and In falling he
had struck his head, intiictlng deep
wound, which bled copiously. A ply
sician after considerable work restored
the lad to consciousness.
Kaiser was found In the woods by
the boy some time ago. The bird had
been wounded In some way. but care
ful nursing soon restored him to health,
and he became family pet, Now the
crow Is more of pet than ever

ELECTRIC BOOTS.
Simple contrivanee For the Comfort OF
Motor Women.


One Of the newest new things for the
motor woman Is pair Of electric
boots. says the New York Press. The
boots are intended, of course, for wear
only In really cold weather Not only
are they lined with fur, but each has
In the hollow between the heel and the
tread tiny electric battery. They
slip on over ordinary shoes, and most
of them extend almost to the knee
Running up the leg Of each electric
boot are wires connecting with safety
electrodes. The wires run through the
sole Of the shoe to the battery.
Pressure OF button at the top Of
each boot starts the current, and In a
Jew minutes genial warmth pervades
III that part Of the anatomy incased in
The device. No matter how wintry the
weather, the electric boot keeps foot
and leg warm, yet not ia a way dan
.erous to health. Moreover, the de-
gree OF warmth can be regulated by
increasing or decreasing the supply Of
electricity. 1t is one Of those devices
so simple that everybody says, How
