ing and jury was secured before
noon. County Attorney Huntoon and
Assistant County Attorney Miller ap-
peared for the state and Ayers &
Marshall for the defendant
In his opening statement, County
Attorney Huntoon said that the state
would undertake to show that the
defendant, Hoffman, together with
Harold Hanson, arrived in this city
short time before the alleged burglary
having bummed their way to this
place; that they were not employed
here and took their meals at the
Christie restaurant where the bill was
charged to Hoffman; that they were
at the Riser place on the night that
the premises were burglarized and
$3.50 taken from a dresser drawer;
that the drawer of the dresser as we'll
as the door of the room had been
forced by chisel of peculiar make;
that such a chisel was found at the
bottling works of o. K. Myers; that
Hoffman and Hansen were at these
bottling works the day before and
the day following the burglary, thus
giving them an opportunity to carry
away and return this chisel; that a
dresser drawer in the room occupied
by the two defendants in the Diamond
rooming house. had been experimental
on with the same chisel; that, when
arrested on the train at Stanford as
they were leaving the county, the
boys had on them about $22O in
money and that all of these circum-
stances pointed clearly to the guilt
of the defendant.
Mae Riser On Stand.
Mae Riser from whom the money
was stolen, was the first witness for
the state and told Of the boys being
around the place the night of the
burglar and Of the burglary itself
| Her testimony was corroberated by
a number of girls who live at her
| place.
Conductor Thompson testified tc
having put Hoffman and Hanson of
his train at Glengary while they were
beating their way into this city. Hoff
man subsequently got on and paid his
fare in.
E. ]. Christie and a number Of en-
ployes testified to the fact that the
boys took their meals there afte,
their return, the tabs being charged
to Hoffman.
| Trouble for Witnesses.
F. T. Fringer, bartender, testi
fled that Hoffman changed a $40 bill
at the bar but said that he did not re
member whether it was before 0,
after the burglary. Fringer was pu
on the griddle by Attorney Huntoor
to whom he had previously made thu
statement that the bill was changed
on the day following the night of tht
burglary. The witness was also
questioned by the court and hi.
answers not being satisfactory, tn,
court ordered an information flee
against him for contempt.
! Otto K. Myers also had an infor
nation filed against him under abou
the same circumstances. On tn,
stand he testified that, in his opinion
the boys could not have secured tn,
chisel from the bottling works with
out his knowledge. 1t was statet
that he had told different tale to th
county attorney and sheriff whel
they examined the witness before tn
trial. The alleged discrepancy in hi

TO KISS OR TO BE KISSED

The Commercial Court in Vienna had to consider the knotty problem whether the law recognized distinc- tion between kissing and being kissed The question arose out of a suit brought by bookkeeper named Meyer against his late employers. who had discharged hi-l without rotiCr cn the ground that he was in he habit of kissing the typewriter girls employed in the office. The firm urged m fe
 fense that this was conduct whicl. seriously disturbed the course of bUsi- ness. Herr Meyers counsel cid not attempt to justify kissing in r,fice hours as a habit. but he brought un- gallant witnesses who swore that they had seen some of the scenes complain ed of. and noticed that it was the girls who began by kissing Herr Meyer. though they could not say whether he did or did not respond. The court ac- cepted this evidence and condemned the firm to the payment of months s salary. on the ground that a person must be said to have kissed the other who began the kissing, and that a return of kisses on the part of Herr Meyer. even if such were given, which was not proved. would not under the circumstances count as kissing in the eye of the law.-Dundee Advertiser.

HIDDEN TREASURES IN TURKEY

Dr K F. Martin. formerly drago- man of the Swedish embassy at Con stantinople, has sent home an interest ing account of the valuable collections Of ancient armor that are still to be found in Turkey. He says:
 For long time it has been known that in the Irene Church in Constanti- nople. the only sacred edifice that was not converted into a mosque. there is stored away d large collection of arms. mostly consisting of Saracenic armor and helmets. dating from the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries, as well as a large collection of Gothic weapons. which are extremely valua- ble. When I was sent by the Swedish government to gather information con corning the sOjOurn of Charles XII in Turkey, I received permission, after a great deal of trouble. to make q search among the treasures of the Irene church. The most interesting objects came across during this search photographed, I had. in the meantime, unfortunately. only a chance of inves- tigating a few of the baskets and sacks which contained European arms. Among these there were many ob jects that are not tO be found in any European collection. The Saracenic antiquities which are hung up on the walls of the church are a museum in themselves. and of their kind larger than all the collections of Europe to- gether.
 T was also informed that in the Subterranean chambers of the YildiZ Kiosk there are several thousand splendid helmets. But this room was sealed up during the old regime be- cause it was feared that one could get into the old palace by means of a tunnel leading from the town. I am unaware whether this chamber has now been opened. but it is certainly not empty, and it is possible that these valuable objects will perish through damp and other causes"
 The above mentioned ex-dragoman states that. according to an officers statement, there are many hundreds of chests in the Turkish collections that have never been opened. The idea mas been suggested of forming a museum. Should this project be carried out, Dr. Martin is of the opinion that, We shall be obliged to rewrite the history of the art of Gothic weapons. in consequence of the new and valuable material ex- isting in the Turkish collections.-Pall Mall Gazette.

HELP FOR INVENTORS The Kansas City Man Should Be Giver Credit for His Generous Offer

There are. according to their own story, inventors who do not have a chance to work out their ideas: and there are others. according to the records. who are robbed after their work has been done. The first of these ills. a Kansas City man. who owns a factory, meets with an offer of aid. He tenders free use of two floors of a large factory. five thousand square feet of space, to scientifically inclined men who desire facilities for pursuing their work" He even goes to the length of suggesting some things that are worth inventing as follows:
 The heavier than air flying ma chine.
 "A better combustion of gas to make possible it's more general use.
 The generation of gas from Ignite or slack coal. retaining the coke for secondary usages.
 A smoke-consumer
 The compression of air for more general purposes.
 "A more economical method of hand ling water for deep well mining and irrigation purposes.
 "A machine for transportation by water as we'll as by land-the autOmo- bile boat.
 "A cheaper method of acquiring cleo tricity for more general purposes.
 "A more economical method of drill ing of deep wells
 To anybody who wishes to work on these or other practical problems, he offers free floor space and privacy. It's an unusual offer and may prove a boon to some genius who lacks facil- ities and elbow room on his own prem ises. It IS chance that a good many inventors of the past would have jumped at, and it is a gratuitOus bit of pessimism to suppose that the man who makes the offer is playing the spider to the flies. Let him have the credit for generous helpfulness till his evil intentions have been proven Columbus Dispatch.

THE REAL DISCOVERY OF THE
 NORTH POLE

Some time a jury of competent judges was sent over the route of the Dr. Cook and Com. Peary expedi- tions. to settle the National Dispute as to who was the real discoverer And they on their return relate some new facts concerning their journey.
 Just after leaving the water we started out over the snow and ice with our dogs and sledges and it was getting along about midday and all were getting the first taste of Arctic hunger, when we came upon a neat little ice house nearly buried in the snow. On entering. imagine our sur prise to find the large room fitted up with a large Oak Mission Dining Table and chairs in the center, and a dandy Bridge Beach cook stove. We'll. we sat down and partook of a re- freshing repast and started on our way once more.
 We had nearly finished our jour ney when one of our guides in trying to leap from one huge glacier to an other slipped and fell thousands of feet below. to his death as We sup posed. We started down the steep ascent to rescue him if possible. and on the way we passed several sta tions with Beds. Springs. Mattresses. Rockers and some fine rugs. and on reaching the bottom found ,Our friend as he had fallen. asleep On a fine Cotton Mattress and a Massie Special Springs. which was all that saved his life.
 We made one more final dash for the pole. and imagine our consterna- ton on reaching it to find that not the person We suspected had discOv- cred the pole. But tackled to the pole was a banner bearing these letters in box car type
