When Gladys dons her latest hat
We know full well that spring u here,
Upmoved by chill reminders that
Belated winds are harsh and drear,
Though snow may gather Ger the field
Where yellow blooming bravely strives,
Our vernal hope we shall not yield
When GLADYS hat 80 fairly thrives.
No violet that decks the glade,
No Haunting jonquil Is more neat
Than Is the Towering there arrayed
About her smile demurely sweet,
And so, though storms may rage about,
This dainty prophecies stand pati
It's gentle spring beyond a doubt
When Gladys ions her latest hat.

NEGRO ATTORNEY,
WOMANlsS SLAYER,
A SUICIDE IN CELL

Columbus, Dec 13.-John w. Beam,
colored Lima attorney, serving a life
sentence for the murder of Mrs. Maud
Diltz, white, committed suicide by
hanging himself in cell at the peni-
Tertiary early this morning.
Beam occupied the upper cot. He
tied rope made from the sheet OF
his cot to the iron cross-piece, and
jumped to, the floor below. His neck
was broken and death wac almost
instantaneous.
The thud of Beams fall awakened
John w. Smith, Cuyahoga county
piclpocket, his celI-mate. He yelled
and awakened all the prisoners In the
block and brought half a dozen guards
The door was opened and Smith taken
out overcome by fright.
The body is in the prison morgue
awaiting word from his wife, Mrs.
Cassie L. Bean Of Lima.
Beam shot and killed Mrs. DiItz,
with whom he had become Infatuated
because she spurned his advances and
was a witness against him in GRIM
inal proceeding in which he was in
dicted for aiding and abetting felony.
He was convicted of the crime
largely on the testimony OF the 12-
year-old daughter OF his victim.

HELD TO GRAND JURY
Mart Maddigan, Charged With Steal
ing Harness From Box Cars Must
Stand Trial.

Mart Maddigan, defendant in the
case of the state against him, for the
larceny of two sets of double harness,
from the Great Northern railroad was
held to the grand jury at the conclu-
sion Of the preliminary hearing before
Justice Wade last Saturday evening
Very damaging testimony was given
by Joe Velthouse who was brought
here from saltwater to testify for the
state. Maddigan was required to give
bonds in the sum of $4,000. They were
furnished and the defendant with his
attorney, C. S. Marden, returned to
their homes at GAINESVILLE.
IL Maddigan is convicted In the high
er court he win be the third man con-
victed for the robbery of freight cars
which caused a sensation two years
ago when the continual disappearance
of miscellaneous merchandise, mostly
goods en- route to Montana, was caus-
ing the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific so much trouble and resulting
in the company putting to work its
best sleuths to ferret out the thieves
who seemed to be working without let
or hindrance. One of the principal
thieves, said to be the man who en-
gineered the "jobs," has not been
a pretty good idea where he Is and
the first move he makes to leave his
hiding place he will be gathered in
and 1t is said his identity will cause
a great surprise.

JURISDICTION OF
CASS CO. COURT
WILL PROBABLY BE PASSED ON
AT NEXT GENERAL ELECTION
IF PRESENT PLANS ARE CAR
RED ouT-lNABiLITY TO "GET
ACTION" THE CAUSE.

If rumors which are heard about
the city are correct the matter of de-
creasing the jurisdiction of the coun-
ty court in cass county getting back
to the court procedure as it was be-
fore the famous discovery in the Rus
sci case-will be voted on at the next
general election.
1t is claimed that when the true
facts are known that the people will
vote against the increased jurisdiction
and restore to the justices Of the
county to try and determine petty
cases instead of binding the defend
ants over to the county court.
Besides making double work for the
prosecuting department, it Is claimed
that the expense is greatly increased
in each case. There have been
scores of cases Of late where the de-
PENDANT appeared and offered to
plead guilty which could not be ac-
cepted by the justice. The formality
OF taking the cases up to the county
court costs money, 1t is asserted. and
nothing is gained.
BY an act OF the last legislature thee
increased jurisdiction can be voted
down. A petition has to be filed to
get the question on the election ball
lot.

Grain Opinions.

Bartlett, Patten & Co: The wheat
market is of trading character with
no decided tendency either way though
the selling pressure is light. 1t seems
much too early in the season to ex-
pect to establish May corn on a "a
to SIS cents basis, when all conditions
surrounding the situation are taken
into consideration and thoroughly
weighed.
Harris Winthrop & Co.: We think
some reaction is due now when pur-
chases will be in order again providing
we do not commence to increase the
movement OF wheat at primary mar
kets Advise taking profits on long
corn and waiting for a break before
doing any buying.
Ware & Leland: Suggest purchases
of wheat on fair-sized reactions only.
We are inclined to believe that a tenn
porary reaction i'm corn is due. For a
long pull we favor sales of May prod
uct.
Walter Fitch & Co.: We fell that
reactions should be taken advantage
izh on corn and continue to advocate
purchases of May on the reactions.
Shearson HammiH & Co.: Wheat
values can continue to advance with
out materially a check and the short
side continues illogical. While we be-
lieve in ultimately higher prices in
corn we are inclined to think the
movements of corn will be heavy and
e. substantial declines should be
before re-entering.
