Of robbing the mails by jury in the
federal court, Wednesday morning.
He is a young fellow from Cheboy-
gan who was employed as porter in
the Union station and who rifed a
large number OF Christmas packages
There was no apparent motive for
the thefts. as he took mixed lot OF
cheap presents and made nc use OF
them whatever, leaving them about
his room.
On the stand, McCrimmon testified
that he knew he was stealing but did
not know why he took the stuff. He
did not sell anything. nor did he give
ANYTHING away. The table in the
courtroom was Uttered with pipes,
cheap jewelry and all sorts Of rick
nacks that he had distracted from

ton of the plaintiffs age. for the pur-
pose of showing that she was several
years older than the defendant, and
much older than she had testified TO.
Miss Foss was questioned at length
regarding her acquaintance with the
defendant. She said he was brought
TO their home by her husband. as
the two men had been friends from
boyhood. She admitted that Brown
gave her husband employment. and
did what he could to induce Gliiden
TO refrain from drinking.
The witness SAID her relations with
Brown were intimate after she was
divorced in 1900.
Further questioning brought out
that Brown first mentioned marriage
to her in 1899, while at the first trial
she said II was in 1900. When the
discrepancy In her testimony was call
ed to her attention, and the fact that
according 10 her statement she was
engaged TO Brown while still Mrs.
Glilden. she could only answer that
she was mistaken, and always tried
TO tell the truth.

QUOTATIONS FROM CHICAGO

TEL WHERE THEY'RE MEETING.

! A big blackboard set In one corner
OF the Hotel Cadillac convention hall
was a center Of interest Wednesday
morning
The Millers' National Federation Is
In session and the board bore quota
tons from the Chicago grain market,
so that even while listening to papers
or discussion the millers could glance
TO one side and see the fluctuations
OF the pit"
Wheat and corn were both going up
rapidly all morning and the delegates
paused at times to take notice of de-
velopments.
Mayor Thompson welcomed the mil
| lers In a speech In which he remarked
that the public might get along with
out breweries but not without -four
mills. Flour is a leading export. he
told them. and America has held her
place by reason OF improved methods.
II. B. Sparks, vice-president or the
federation, responded to the greeting
end took occasion TO refer nicely to
the local millers. Stott and Henkel, as
progressive men.
VIM. f. Castle, president. made
speech in which he favored aggressive
action with regard to internal condi.
lions and export trade as well.
Secretary Goetzmann referred TO the
foreign advertising campaign that Is
one of the big things up for discus
sion in this convention, and read a re-
port from NJ II. Davis, on London,
Eng. in which standardization OF
grades is urged.
F. H. Price, the federations export
agent told OF the many difficulties his
bureau has TO overcome, and urged
some reforms, such as better bags to
withstand the enormous pressure OF
storage In the hold OF an ocean
freighter. Following the reading OF
this paper, committees on uniform
feed laws, drawback law changes, adj
yertising white flour. mill troubles,
and general resolutions were named
by President Castle.
A consular report which was passed
around shows that the American i'm.
ports of flour into the United King
dom have been falling off Of late
years. The causes for this are seven
in number: Concerted advertising by
the British miller; lower ocean freight
rates on grain than on -four the par
tial failure OF the American crop in
1904. diverting trade; the introduction
of inferior -four into the northwest;
false branding on the part OF some
unprincipled American millers; delays
in shipments; the possibility of alter
atoms in regard to tariff being
established by Great Britain on flour.
The business of the convention real

on the Tashmoo Wednesday afternoon.

THE STAGE


i That southern favorite comedienne,
Florence Davis, will be. the attraction
at the Grand Opera House next
Thursday.
No more appropriate costuming has
been seen on the stage in recent years
than that presented by Florence Da-
Wis in the successful comedy drama,
"a Question of Husbands" The cos
tunes have been selected with due
and well conceived appreciation of
what may be called the ethics of dress
ing. This is also true of the stage
properties, all of which are owned by
Miss Davis and provided especially
for their personal purposes. They
are elaborate to a degree so far as re-
lates to their application in the un-
threading of the plot and they aid in
properly depicting the actual scene
in such a manner that the scenes
themselves are practically created
into fact.
The acting OF MISS Davis WIN 10 d
handsome woman both on and OF the
stage, has been Invariably commend
ed. This is especially the case in "A
Question of Husbands" wherein the
natunlness of her Interpretation Is
the greatest charm.
That handsome dashing young
leading man, Elliott Dexter, is Co
starred with Miss Davis in this funny
comedy. The company is said to be
an excellent one and the scenic pro-
ductOn very beautiful.

brake The dogs were asleep with the
fatigue Of the chase, says the st. Louis
Post Dispatch. The guides were lying
around feasting their eyes upon the
distinguished guest and the president
was enjoying the camp fire as a
sportsman can.
"Boys." he said. did you ever hear
Bob Burdette's bear story?"
''Wah Bob Budette bah huntah?"
asked Guide Ennolds.
mot exactly" the president an
swered. Bob was a much drawer man
than a bear hunter. He trained bear
in his youth, but when he grew older
he became brave enough to follow the
lecture platform"
The guides didn't know this last
named beast, but they smoked their
pipes in confidence of It's terrors.
"Bob's bear story needs Bob to tell
it," the president continued, "but he
isn't here, and I'll rattle around in his
shoes q bit. There were two men go

hole 1t flashed over as he dived in.
He instantly bobbed out again, the bull
made for him, and he bobbed in and
out as the bull shot back and forth.
They kept this up for while, and the
man in the tree yelled:
why don't you stay in that hole,
We dang fool?'
1.-THE bull was dashing across the
hole with mad roars and the man was
bobbing in and out desperately, but he
heard the voice from the tree.
"'Dang fool yerself,' he retorted,

One of the guides threw leg on the
fire, an owl hooted off In the timber,
