For the third time Mr. Bryan has
Teen defeated for President and it is
needless to say that the democratic
party can not win with him as its ex-

the most brilliant statesman of the age.

will never be president, but many
meritorious reforms be advocates and
stands for will eventually find their
way into the scrolls of political plat
forms, and some other leader will thus
garner the sheaves that should have
been won by the peerless Nebraskan.

Present wastes in lumber production
are enormous. Take the case of yel.
low pine, which now heads the list in
the volume of annual cut. In 1907 it
is estimated that only one half of all
the yellow pine cut during the season
was used, and that the other half,
amounting to 100000 cords, was
wasted. Such waste is typical. Mr..
r. A. Long, in his address on "Forest
Conservation at the Conference of
Governors last spring. pointed out that
20 per cent of the yellow pine was
simply left in the woods-a waste
which represents the timber growing
on 100000 acres.

To Contest Guinness VIII.

Attorney e. M. Laid went to Laporte,
Ind, Saturday to take action to contest
the will of Belle Guinness. the murderess,
on behalf of Swanhilda Guinness, the
child OF Peter Guinness, the woman's Sec
ond husband. The Chill was taken
away from the murder house after the
killing of Mr. Guinness, by the girls I'M
Gle, who feared the woman would take
the life OF the daughter after he became
convinced OF the Staying of his brother.
The relatives of all the identified vic
TINS of the house are preparing to bring
action against the estate to obtain judg
ment for blood money.
Mr.. Ladd returned Monday evening
bringing with him number OF photo
graphs of the Guinness premises taken
during the search for the remains OF
murdered people and has some interest
ing stories to tell concerning the tragedy
that shocked the whole country few
weeks ago. He interviewed the sheriff,
probate Judge and some of the leading
lawyers Of Laporte and gathered what
information he could relating to the
proposed disposal of the property of the
Guinness estate which aggregates about
$4,000 Several claims have already
been filed by relatives of the supposed
murdered victims, and the prospects are
that much litigation will follow. It will
be remembers that will executed by
Mrs. Guinness some time before the
burning of her home and the death of
herself and children in which her entire
property was bequeathed to Chicago
orphan asylum, despite the fact that her
children were her legal heirs. If the
claimants to this property should now
succeed in breaking the will, then the
Guinness child represented by Mr.. Ladd
would be the nearest heir.

FireIess cooker Works.

The practical value of the freless
cooker for household use is demonstrate
ed in a bulletin on "The Fireless Cook
err" in the new university extension
series. In it Miss Ellen A. Huntington
of the house economics department re-
reports the results of numerous
experiments conducted to test the
practicability of the hay box for house
hold uses. Many different forms OF the
fireless cooker were tried with variety
of foods.
A good cooker is made with small lab
or and little cost by lining four-gallon
galvanized iron pail with an inch all
around of mineral wool (four or five
pounds), covered with cheesecloth. An
asbestos plate holds it down in the bot
tom and an iron hoop fastens it at the
top. The cover is padded in the same
way, and the inside pals have fiat tin
covers, and an asbestos pad to fill the
space between the two pals.

Cottage Grove Girl Wins First Prize.

It took five tests OF 200 words alto
gether to decide the annual spelling con-
test at the high school Saturday afternoon
for the three prizes offered last year by
Robe Dow to the best three spoilers
among the district school pupils of the
First Superintendent's district of this
county On the first test of 100 words,
three little girls, Lois Slagg of Albion
Prairie, Genevieve Cunning of Cottage
Grove, and Hannah Karlslyst of Dunn,
spelled every word correctly, but on the
next test of Is words, Lois missed one
word. A third trial and yet another
took place without word being missed
by either of the two others, but finally
on the fifth test in which Supt. Ames
pronounced % geographical names, Miss
Genevieve secured the coveted first
prize, missing six words of the list, while
Hannah Karlslyst, apparently one of the
smallest of those who participated in the
contest, failed on eight words. The first
prize is $40 in. gold, the second SIS, and
the third So so. In all. Ill pupils, mostly
girls, participated, representing about
every school in Supt. Ames' district

Blow to Cream Combination.

The railroad rate commission have adj
justed the rates on milk and cream, in
cidentally accomplishing greater result
than would be disclosed at first glance.
Formerly the rates on milk and cream
were alike and under this protection in
Chicago, Omaha and other large cities
butter manufacturers have been able to
have cream shipped to them so cheaply
that the small cheese and butter factory
OF the country was often compelled to
dispose OF its product at ruinous prices.
The baneful result of the equal rate
did not become apparent until nearly
one-half OF the state of Iowa was in the
hands of these cream centralizing firms.
Cream was shipped to Chicago, for ex-
ample, at the same rate as milk was re-
ceived at some half way station, for the
centralizers enjoyed tariff that varied
only every few hundred miles. Cream
is more valuable and many times richer
than milk and under the same rate as
the country milk factory enjoyed was
quickly made into butter at such small
cost that gradually the small town fac
tory was being forced out of existance.

WOMAN SAYS SHE SHOT MAN WITH GUN
 AIMED AT HERSELF
Special Jury May Be Called To Try Two Females
 For Murder.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.-It is ex- pected there will be a special trial of the case of Mrs. Katherine Beisel, charged with the murder of her brother-in-law, J. Clayton Erb. The dead mans widow is also in jail, though no charge has been lodged. The testimony at the inquest tonight shows that Erb had been beaten before he was shot. A deep cut in the head was made by a vase hurled at him.
 According to the constable who ar rested Mrs. Beise1, sne said: 'I shot Captain Erb. I am sorry for it, but l could not help it. He pointed re- yolver at me and took it away from him and shot him"
 The trouble which preceded the shooting was due to a legal paper served upon Mrs. Beisel to keep oil the Erb premises.
