In addition to the above the follow ing information was obtained from the coroner: Viz, that the room in the attic where pr, Wolff suggests that the murderer lay in wait for Mir Ed wards was first opened by tho police after Mir. Edwards death, and was found to be barricaded by boxes of furniture. Tho floor of the room was covered with dust, showing that nothing had been disturbed there for many years.

This theory presents no inherent inn probability and explains all the facts as observed.
 The other theory is that of Dr. Wolff that the murderer lay in wait in the attic, that he scratched his fin ger on the door latch, that blood drop ped from this on to the attic stairs. that for some unexplained reason no more blood appeared until Mir. Ed wards was reached when 1t was so great as to stain Mir Edwards beard neck. chest and combination suit soaking in from the under side of this; that Mir Edwards was shot by the murderer in his bed; that for some unknown reason the wound through MT.

GOLFERS BOOSTS CORN SHOW
Gives Editorial Comment to the Ma
tionaI Exposition to he Held
I'm Omaha.

Old King Corn gets a merry old boost
in the editorial pages of Golfers for the
current week. The National Corn EXPOSE
ton in fact is called to the attention of
readers of the weekly in vigorous words
from the pen of Norman HapgcS1. = may
be added that advocacy of an exposition
in the editorial columns of Golfers is not
an usual thing and the benefit to the ex-
position will be all the greater for this
reason.
The paragraph spoken OF is as follows:
The Pascal ear reproduced above was
sold for $50. The grand sweepstakes ear
of corn at the National Corn exposition AT
Chicago last year sold for $3.50. To the farmer
the difference between good seed and bad

Trade last June, 4,332-more than half

should be ashamed of this. The American
oat crop has so degenerated that the break

tional Corn exposition, to be held at
Omaha, December 9-19. will give a $500
prize for the best bushel of corn-seventy
ears-and a $40 prize for the best twenty
ears. Good seed is corn that has vitality
to resist disease and drouth. rich in the
oils and protein that make the layers of
lean i'm bacon. 1t takes as much land and
hoe-wear, as much horse-sweat and elbow
grease, to grow poor corn as the best.

Howell TO Introduce Home
Rule Bill.

Mayor Jim will now be good and stay
at home.
The mayor says he has made his last
junket for many moons, and since the
people have defeated his close personal and
political friend, Bryan. for the third time,
he will hide himself in his office and at
tend strictly to business. He may go to
Washington to attend the waterways con-
gress, but that will not be until in De-
cember, and he may not go TO that.
Mayor Dahlman returned Friday from
Lincoln where he went with several other
Of the fsithfuls to take their condolences
and sympathies to Mr.. Bryan. When they
got there. however, they found that the
defeated candidate did not want their SYM
pathies, says the mayor. as he is not talk
ing his defeat hard. Mr.. Bryan told the
emissaries from Omaha that he intends to
take a trip soon to rest up and forget the
trials OF the campaign. While he will go
on a hunting trip. Mayor Dahlman will
not him.
While In Lincoln the mayor had a con-
ference with Governor-Elec Shallenberger,
who told him that a home rule law for
Omaha and South Omaha will be enacted
first thing by the legislature and that a
law guaranteeing bank deposits in Ne
braska will also be enacted.
Ed Howell, one Of the Omaha senator's
elect, will introduce the bill intended to
give so-calied home rule to Omaha and
South Omaha. At least Mr.. Howell says
he will.
THE formulating and introducing of a
bill giving home rule to these cities should
be one OF my Prerequisites said Mr..
Howell. II drew up the city charter in
1895 which originally contained provisions
giving the mayors the power to appoint the
excise boards. but this never became ef-
fectlve for the reason that amendments
were made before passage. Now that the
democrats have elected a legislature
pledged to home rule for Omaha and South
Omaha a new law will be enacted, and I
intend to father 1t. Whether the new law
will give appointive power to the mayors,
or whether it will provide for the election
of members of the board, lido not know as
yet. 1t is early and I have lots Of time"

Judge w. IL. Munger issued a decree in
the case of NJ. c. Peters against the Stock
Yards Cotton and Linseed Meal ompany
and II. c. Cherry Saturday morning,
directing the defendants to obliterate the
word Fat" from their advertising ma

brought by the NJ. c. Peters company OF
Omaha, manufacturers of the product and
owners of the trade mark "Alfsl-Fat,"
against the defendants which afterwards
produced a product under the name OF
"Alfalmo-Fat." thus infringing upon the
trademark of the compleinants. The
order of Judge Munger requires that the
defendants shall remove the word fat"
from their stationery and other advertising
material. which includes certain pamphlets
as we'll as 1900 bags enclosing the product
Of the defendants that have not so far been
brought into use.
