cerned than some of those where the
largest yields will be. The weather
conditions in the spring and early
summer were ideal, but the hot
weather, the like of which has never
been experienced in the state before,
caught the fields in different stages
of growth and this makes the differ
ences which are so pronounced at this
time.

Insurance
Talks

Life Insurance Statisticians
tell us that the first period of a
mans life, that is, to the age Of
twenty, is the egotistical age,
when the son thinks he knows
more than his father.
From thirty to forty-fve is a
mans accommodating period. In
this period either success or
failure is settled. By the time a
man is forty-five, he is either on
the high road to fortune-o or has
lost all.
Above the age of fifty stats
tics show that only one in five
| thousand can recover his fnan-
cial footing of lost.
After sixty, ninety-fve per
cent are dependent upon their

5000 Want to See Hanging.

Carthage, Mo-, Nov. 30.-Nine
thousand persons have made applica-
ton to Sheriff Arch Mcdonald to see
William Wilson hanged in this city on
January 2, 1910. Of this number on
ly seventy-five will be admitted into
the stockade, so that the sheriff is of
the opinion that he will have to re-
sort to some sort of scheme like a
government land drawing to choose
the seventy-five.
A death watch has been set over
the negro in his cell on the second
floor of the Jail, and stockade will
be built against the building adjoining
his cell, SO that he may be taken out
through the window to his execution.
Wilson was sentenced for the muir
der of Mile Plum, white woman,
at Carl Junction, Mo-, in July, 1907.

SHOOTS FIANCE.
Tilted Girl Then Ends Her Own
Life With Acid at West
Plains, Mo.

West Plains, Mo-, Nov. 29.-"He
has ruined my life. have shot him
to save Others" These were the last
words spoken by Margaret Payne,
20 years old, as she drank carbolic
acid a few seconds after she had shot
and MORALLY wounded Everett Benn,
her sweetheart. The girl is deadan
Benn is dying from two bullet wounds
in his head and another in his body.
1t is said Miss Payne had followed
the accounts of the trial of Alma Bell,
the Auburn, CAL, girl who shot and
killed her sweetheart and was acquit-
ted by mountain jury. She repeat
eddy had defended the Bell girl, and
intimate acquaintance hint motive
for yesterdays tragedy may be found
in her intense interest in the Califor-
mia tragedy. II is believed Miss Payne
had asked Benn to marry her or at
least cease his attentions to Miss Eva
Rutledge, said to have been a former
sweetheart.
The engagement of Benn and Miss
Payne to marry was understood gen.
orally among friends of both. He
spent most of his time with Miss
Payne until a few months ago, when
he apparently transferred his affec-
tons to Miss Rutledge. Sunday
morning Benn accompanied Miss
Payne to church. He returned with
her to the home of William Benefited,
brother-in-law of Miss Payne, and
was invited to remain to dinner. At
ter the repast the Benefited family
departed, leaving Benn and Miss
Payne alone.

on to the porch and at the second
shot fell head foremost down the
short flight Of stairs into the garden.
AS he rose on his elbow the girl fired
a third shot into his head. She rush.

and when neighbors forced an en-
trance was found dying with an
empty carbolic acid phial by her side.

Girl, Ia, Leader of Car Thieves,
Charge.

Pittsburg, Nov.-Bessie Cahill, IA
years old, seems to have been the
"Queen Bess," the leader, the evil
inspiration of Is boy car thieves. Six
of them have been arrested.
After a truly unhappy Thanksgiv-
ing Day, Bessie was released in $500
bail, chiefly in the hope that the nine
others of the band would be called by
her and so easily arrested. Nothing
of the sort happened. The nine are
still at liberty, although warrants are
out for them.
This very young woman, whose
skirts reach to her boot tops, is re-
puted to be president, treasurer and
general manager of the "Smallman
street gang" who were in the rail-
road and produce business. That is,
they stole fruit from the Pennsylvania
Railroad cars here.
The agents of Queen Bess," who
had three wagons running to the cars,
say she has given good advice to them
always: "Sell at the best price, but
never below the market, else you
will be suspected. Save your money
and get a good education. When
you grow up you will be great men. y

A Loophole in the Liquor Law,

A LOOphOle in the Liquor Law.
Kansas City Journal.
A loop-hole was found by the pros
ecuting attorney in the state law for
bidding druggists to sell liquor and
alcohol except on Doctors prescrip-
ton.
A complaint had been made to the
police against a drug store at Fifth
street and Broadway. Two tramps
were given money Saturday to buy
alcohol from this place. The police
Immediately arrested William Ball, a
clerk, who was charged with having
made the sale.
The police brought Ball to the pros
ecutor's office to get a complaint.
Norman Woodson, who started to
make out the complaint, found that
Ball was immune from prosecution,
in that he is not a registered pharma-
cist.
The law says that liquor or alcohol
shall not be sold by the owners and
proprietors of drug stores, or regis,
tered pharmacists" Persons who do
not come in this category, but who
may be employed in the drug store,
may sell liquor and escape prosecu-
ton.

A st. Joseph Mystery Cleared.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Nov. 26.-To save
an innocent man from being taken
into custody on charge of shooting
policeman twenty years ago, j. E.
Cook explained the mystery which
has always surrounded the affair.
The shots were fired from behind
saloon door and, missing the officer
for whom they were intended,
wounded his comrade. Those inside
the saloon at the time told the author
tiles that a man named Patrick Kehoe
fired the shots. Kehoe could never
be found and the affair was almost
forgotten until in police court Friday
a stranger gave his name as Patrick
Kehoe, and said he was drunk as a
celebration of his return to st. Joseph
after many years.
Remembering the shooting of two
decades ago, the officers were about
to arrest Kehoe when Mr.. Cook
explained. The Kehoe who had been
accused of the shooting, he explain
ed, was a mythical person invented on
the spur of the moment to shield the
saloon keeper, who had attempted to
take his spite out on the officer, who
caused him trouble. The saloon
keeper being dead, Mr.. Cook felt
himself released from the necessity
of keeping his promise of twenty
years ago not to make public the
name of the man who shot the police
man.

sHERIFF'S POSSE KILLS
WOMEN IN RIFLE FIGHT
Mother and Daughter Fire Until
They Fall in West Virginia
Home.

Home.
Williamson, w. Va, Nov.-Mrs.
Charles Daniels and her l6-year-old
daughter, Helen, fought battle with
a sheriff's posse from the door Of
their home, near Devon, in which the
girl and her mother were shot to
death and one member of the posse
wounded, as the result of fued be-
tween the Daniels and Christian fam
lilies.
The two women stood in their door
way and fired their rifles until they
fell fatally wounded, and died shortly
afterwards.
II is believed the shooting of the
two women will lead to numerous
other killings among The mountain
men, as the Daniels faction have
sworn to kill the sheriff who led the
posse and the members of the Chris
tan faction who accompanied the
sheriff in an attempt to arrest jim
Daniels, charged with killing George
Christian. Christian a nd Daniels
were brothers-in-law.
The two Daniels families lived near
Ransom, Pike county, KY, across
the Big Sandy River. Near Devon,
Mingo county, w. Va, lived a num-
Der of families named Christian, with
whom one of the Daniels families was
connected by marriage.
A feud broke out between the Dan
iels and Christian families, and after
several hostile demonstrations, Geo.
Christian was killed three weeks ago
by Jim Daniels, near Daniels home.
Christians body was sent across
the river to this county, and the other
members of the family swore venge-
ance. Neighbors discouraged them
from trying to avenge the killing, and
some of the Christians, heavily arm.
ed, went across the river few days
ago to Kentucky and swore out war,
rants against Jim and Charles Dan.
iels in Pike county. Charles was &C.
cused Of having been an accessory to
the killing of George Christian.
Sheriff Warned Away.
The sheriff asked a posses aid in
serving the warrants, and the Chris.
tians and a number of their friends
accompanied him.
At the home of Charles Daniels,
the posse saw both the brothers in
the yard. As the sheriff was about
to approach them with the warrant,
the wife and daughter appeared in
the doorway, leveling shotguns at the
party.
keep out of here or We'll kill
you," shouted both women. The
sheriff and some of the boldest of the
men approached nearer the house
and both women fired.
As the men fell back the women
discharged their weapons again. One
rafMe men dropped, wounded in the
left arm, and his comrades, thinking
he had been fatally shot, turned and
fired to kill.
Mrs. Daniels fell first. Her daugh.
stood over her dead body and loaded
her shotgun again as the bullets and
shot scattered about her. Wounded
once, she fired at her assailants, and
it was not until three bullets had
pierced her body that the girl sank
beside her mother.

"WhO IS TO Be WHO
AT TIE PRESIDIO?"
Army People Wondering if Lun-
deem or Pratt Will Weld
the Scepter


The question of Who's to be who ~
at the Presidio this fall is agitating
army circles. not only at the post, but
at the different bay points.
At present Colonel John A. Lun-
deem, coast artillery. is in command
of all the forces stationed at the Pre-
sidio and the adjacent points of de-
fense.
When the Thirtieth infantry comes
back from the Philippines in Septem-
Der they are to be quartered in the
brick barracks, now occupied by the
field artillery. This will make the
Preside proper an infantry post.
AS Colonel Edward b. Pratt, in COM
mand of the Thirtieth infantry. is the
ranking officer naturally he will be
the commandant of the post. while
Colonel Lundeen, although remaining
in charge OF the field and coast artil-
lery. will be second in command.
IL will evidently be question of
army etiquette.
Both Colonel Lundeen and Colonel
Pratt and their respective families are
close friends. Colonel Lundeen now
occupies the commandant quarters at
the post. and the question has now
arisen, how will the two officers de-
eide to settle the question of prece-
dence?
