TILE JURY COULD NOT AGREE.
Anderson Assault Case Is Still on the
Docket.

After several hours of elaboration,
the jury in the case of state against
Anderson, charged with criminal as
sault, agreed to disagree. The argu-
ments in the case were closed at IL
o'clock Wednesday, and the jury talk
ed 1t over for an hour before noon.
The court then permitted the jury to
go out to lunch. Returning at 1870
o'clock the jury resumed delibera-
lions, and it was nearly o'clock
when it reported that it could not
agree. The court insisted on another
hours effort, but the jury was still
uanble to get together, and was dis
charged.
Ed ]. Anderson, a Iaborer living in
Oakland, was charged with an assault
upon his 13-year-old stepdaughter,
VERNE Ellison. The case was pushed
by the child's mother, Anderson's wife,
several instances. The child told a
straight story, but the defendant came
near proving an alibi. Anderson claims
that the charges were the result of
spite on the part of his wife, and an
effort was made to show that she was
angry because of his interference in an
alleged Irritation with an Oakland
preacher.
Anderson has been in Jail awaiting
trial since July, and unless he can fur
nish bond, will remain until the Janu-
airy term.
This was the last criminal case OF
any Importance set for this term OF

he called upon Mr.. Kenna in Chicago
or not I do not know.
Yours respectfully,
A A HURD.
Mr.. stubbs pennies Soliciting.

w. R. Stubs arrived in Topeka this
morning from Mulvane, Kan, where
he spoke last night. He Joined the
Hughes train here, and viii be with
it to Pittsburg, where he is to speak
Friday evening
Concerning the Democratic circuI-
ar in regard to campaign contribu-
lions from railroad companies, Mr..
Stubs said:
81 never received a dollar from the
Missouri Pacific railway either in the
boss buster campaign or after l be-
came chairman of the state commit
tee. The Missouri Pacific offered me
money for use of the committee, but
refused to accept it.
"As chairman of the state commit
tee 1 did accept $1,000 from each of
the three railroads-Union Pacific,
Santa Fe and Rock Island. That there
is no secret about that is shown by
the fact that I told of having received
such contributions, in signed state
ment printed in the newspapers more
than a year ago.
"In regard to those $1,000 contribu-
tons. I will say that they were made
absolutely without any strings to
them. and without any solicitation on
my part Either Mr.. LOOMS or Howell
Jones-I just now forget which
came to me and said that the rail-
road companies were willing to con-
Tribute TO the campaign A0IAO, IL incl
contributions would be acceptable.
| told them that they might contribute
| if they wished on exactly the same ba-
sis that others contributed and on this
basis the three roads contributed their
| 200 each. 1 did not solicit any of
these contributions. They were made
voluntarily and Internationally.
This circular which the Democrats
are sending out is merely an example
of the kind of work which they are
| doing in this campaign. They are
| depending upon campaign OF mis-
representation and Justification. They
realize that they are beaten If they
can not make people believe some
sort of slanderous stories. Their only
| hope Is to kick up lot of dust sc
that the real issues of the contest
will be obscured. I don't believe they
can make that sort of a campaign
win do not believe that the peo-
pie of Kansas will allow themselves to
| be deceived"
| Concerning the outlook for the
coming election, Mr.. Stubs said:
1.-The Republican state ticket will
be elected from top to bottom, Tar
will carry the state, and will be elected
president, and we will have strong
| Republican legislature. 1 think it Is
! going to be a landslide to the Repub-
| lican ticket in Kansas. l can't see
| any other explanation for conditions
| as 1 find them.
This talk of the Democrats tina
they are going to be able to elect {
Democratic legislature and beat Jo'
/ Bristow is preposterous. They can
| beat one side of Joe Bristow. I know
of hundreds of Democrats who arr
going to vote for Republican member
of the legislature just on the issue be
tween Bristow and Farrelly. The.
don't want a man like Farrelly a.
their representative in the United
States senate"

JACQUES
THE JACQUES.

If a stock company at the Jacques eyer made a tenstrike the present aggregation has done so with David Higgins big success "Piney Ridge this week. The hot weather and the rain has been no obstacle to those who have heard of the splen- did production that the company is making. The management has gone to great lengths to secure the right to present the play and the patron age more than justifies the effort for the performances have been excep- tionally well attended. Many per sons imagine that "Piney Ridge" is an ordinary melodrama and that there is nothing but heart throbs in it. It is first order play with the happiest combination of seriousness and comedy play lover could wish for. There is a quaint quizzical humor in the lines and characters from Jack Rose as played by David Hartford to the fat negro of Thomas Williams and if there is a teGr it is quickly followed by series of pure laughs. Tomorrow afternoon there will be a carnation matinee and re- ception at which the patrons will be presented to the members Of the company. Polls popular prices pre- vail.

stitution and the courts; after being wheedled and lattered and luncheon ed to turn square about and promise the 2,O00,000 votes of the American Federation of labor to Bryan! Not having the Oyster Bay vocabulary, words fail us to characterize such a display. It is fiat lese majeste, rising to treason, and reaching a climax in refusing to be fooled. To add to the injury, MT Gompers does not even wait to learn MT Tafts views about labor injunctions, which the dispatches from Hot Springs have been telling us were to be of a sort to please every trades union, but cooly assumes in advance that they will be unsatisfactory. Thus does labor, warmed in the bosom of the square deal, sink its fangs into it's benefactor The result must be to give the president a much lower view of the labor vote, which he has striyen so sedulously to annex. He may even be able to come over to the saner opinion that the larger part of that vote would be democratic anyhow, and that the portion which Gompers can deliver will be, judged by past performances, pitt fully small. But the element of personal ingratitude remains the same, and we may be sure that the shores of Long Island sound will echo with outcries louder than Lear's over the sharper than a serpent's tooth.-New York Evening Post.

WILL PLANT TREES.
A Farmer Whose Crop Will Be All
 Timber.

In every state of the union there
 are many tracts of so-called agricul- tural land. which, owing to their
 hilly character, poor soil, or numer-
 ous boulders. are not suitable for farming. The owners of such tracts lare often at loss to know what to do with them
 Without question, the best use to
 which land of this kind can be put is 1 to plant 1t with trees. One of the fun Idamental principles of forest econom ! ics is, that soil which is not good enough to make the growing of cereal Icrops profitable should be devoted to 1 the production Of wood crops. This does nol mean that trees grow better On poor soil than on fertile soil They will, or course, grow better on fertile soil But. in proportion to the mon Icy invested, better returns are se- cured from trees planted on the less valuable land.
 Most of the cone-bearing trees, and many hal dwoods as well, will thrive i'll sofl Of medium fertility. All trees. however, do not thrive on poor sandy ridges, or on hillsides where i the soil is thin. Black walnut, hardy lcatalpa, and white oak, for their best
 development, require deep, fertile soil, we'll watered and we'll drained, and it is not advisable to plant them where these requirements are not met.
 An Ohio farmer is solving the prob lem of what to do with the worn-out farm. He owns an old homestead of sixty acres, which he is desirous of keeping in the family He does not live on the place, however, and farm ling has been a losing proposition He has, therefore. decided to plant the Ienti,e tract with trees. He has al- ready planted 35,000 Norway spruce, set three and one-half feet apart each way, on an area of about eleven acres. These trees will be cut, as they become large enough, for Christ
 mas trees.
 Chestnut seedlings will be planted in the spaces left by the removal of
 the spruce and it is expected that they will begin to come in bearing when the last spruce is cut. In addi-
 tion to the spruce, hardy catalpa, black locust, elm, boxelder and syca- more have been planted It is plan ned to put the entire sixty acres in
 forest within five or six years. The
 owner is wise in planting several
 kinds of trees instead of confning
 himself to one species His forest will be producing six or seven kinds .of lumber, chestnuts and Christmas trees at the same time.

Life in a BInk-house.

The bunk-house, the home flor the rudderless wrecks who drift" is vividly described by Alexander IT, vine in the August McClure's. Of a place not far from Chatham square, where he made his headquarters, he said:
 The entrance to it was a slit in the front block--a long, deep, nar- row alley, then, as now, indescriba- bly filthy. Over the iron gate at the tentrance was the name of the house and the price of some of the beds The lower floors were filled with ten and twelve-cent bed cots: the upper floors were bunk dormitories. 4 bunk is strip of canvas. For seven cents night the lodger gained ad- mission to the dormitory. One there he might stretch himself on the bunk. or he might take advantage of the floor. .#s
 The covering on the ten-cent bed was changed once month: if man wanted toilet accommodations, he paid for them elsewhere This place never had bath. nor wash basin.
 "A ten or twelve cent guest had a wardrobe: it was seldom used, but it was there. At the head of each cot stood this tall, narrow receptacle for the clothing and the valuables of the guests, but in the old days wise guests slept in their clothes. have known of unsuspecting wayfarers who deposited their belongings in the wardrobe, locked 1t. and hid the key under the pillow. and next morning had to wrap themselves in newspapers or in a borrowed sheet until they could reach a iank-st ore. The key was safe. but the wardrobe and contents had disappeared.
