PAYS TWELVE PER CENT.
Farmers Elevator Company Makes a
Profitable ShoWinu,

Omaha, June 4.-The annual meet
ing of the Farmers Grain company OF
Omaha was held here. The net profit
enables the company to pay IL per
cent on the stock and 2h cents a
bushel on the grain the stockholders
have sold during the year.
These old officers were reelected
J. E. Johnson of Kearney, president;
d. Phillips of Pleasanton, secretary,
and c. Vincent, manager.
The manager was enabled to report
to the stockholders a legal victory,
which makes the future look still
brighter for the Farmers Elevator
company.
Many of the farmers elevator COM
panies in Nebraska have a provision
in their bylaws requiring members to
sell to their own company, and pro-
viding that when competitor over
bids the market the member may sell
to such competitor and then pay to
the treasurer of his own company from
~ to l cent per bushel as a mainten-
ance fund to keep the farmers elevat-
or in running order.
Old grain companies brought a suit
against the farmers companies to
compel them to cut that provision out
and some grain papers have given
publicity to statement that the court
ordered the change and declared the
maintenance charge" was a penalty.
On the contrary, Manager c. Vincent
reported that the Nebraska courts had
held the maintenance clause was legal
and not in restraint of trade nor a
violation of the Nebraska laws.

sHoBER NOT IN THE CLEAR.
intlmation that Charges Have Been
Lodged Against Him.

Washington, June 4. - Representa-
tives Martin and Burke were at the
white house to protest against the re.
moval of Robert e. Persons, auditor
for the Interior department, and the
appointment of Shobert of Highlands,
&. d., as his successor.
Under the Roosevelt administration,
when the fight between the republican
factions of South Dakota was at fever
heat and when seemingly no mutual
ground could be found for appoint
ments the president decided that the
representatives should have the post
Offices and the senators all other fed
eral appointments of presidential char
acter.
That condition obtained until Presi.
dent Taft laid down the rule that all
offices dependent upon the senate for
confirmation should originate with the
senators of the particular state inter
ested. Under this ruling, undoubtedly,
Senators Gamble and Crawford will be
successor to Persons, who Is persona
non grata to the South Dakota senat-
ors, but very close to the members
from that state in the house.
1t was intimated that certain yelled
charges had been filed against Mr..
Shober by the Kittredge wing of the
republican party in the lower house,
represented by Martin and Burke, and
that these charges might defeat Mr..
Shober's appointment. Senators Gam
BILE and Crawford said tonight that
they knew nothing about any charges
against Mr.. Shober and that they were
united in an effort to bring about his
nomination to the place now held by
Mr.. Persons.

Talked to Kaufman Jurors.

Flandreau, S. D., June 4.--"Do you
know Tom Waters, and has he talked
with you about this case?" This is
one of the questions put to every man
examined, touching his qualifications
to serve on the Kaufman jury, by
Judge Frank r. Aikens, counsel for
the accused woman.
Waters was not drawn for jury
duty, but while talking to a bunch of
listeners, among whom there were
some who occupied the jury box at the
close of yesterdays session, is alleged
to have made the statement that he
could not sit as juror and give Mrs.
Kaufman fair trial. Waters, who
is prominent auctioneer and popular
citizen, claims that he qualified his
statement by saying that he heard
the evidence at the former trial and
was, therefore, biased.
Judge Aikens declines to accept this
modified statement as an excuse and
has intimated to the court that he may
ask for restraining order to keep
Waters silent. The latters statement
may also be used by the defense as a
factor in setting the verdict aside in
case Mrs. Kaufman is again convict
ed.
Ninety jurors have already disqual-
flied and the indications are that there
are but few of those now in the jury
box who are acceptable to both sides.
Neither prosecution nor defense has
yet exhausted it's peremptory chal-
lenges. Eight of the men now sitting
are said to be acceptable to the state.
Mrs. Kaufman is giving closer at
tention to the procedure in the selec-
ton of the jury than at the previous
trial and is keenly alert to all that
transpires in the court room.
Nose Kaufman, the accused wo-
mans husband, bears evidence of
much more poignant suffering than his
wife has endured during the past three
years, being the victim of a nervous
difficulty but he is constantly in his
seat back of his wife and where he
can counsel extensively with his at
torneys. He has enlisted the services
of all the attorneys in Flandreau ex-
cept States Attorney Blewitt, who is
retained for the prosecution by Min
nehaha county, and the personal ac-
quaintance of all these men is being
utilized in the selection of the jury
which will try the case.
