gested restraint and instant medical

While waiting for a doctor he expert
enced alternate spells of lucidity and
periods when all connections between
himself and the outside world seemed
to be severed, when a chaos of disjoint-
ed ideas and wild reveries obsessed
him. The duration of these latter
periods was never longer than two
minutes, but each seemed an eternity,
1t appeared a hopeless task to follow
the minute hand of his watch during
its infinite round; long before the sixty
seconds had elapsed he gave up the
stupendous task in deep despair. The
departure of the doctor sy%nchronized
with the return of the feeling Of i'm.

though she had been sweet to him al

cared for him. But If she had cared for

ly from the day dream he passed into
an actual one of restless slumber. He
dreamed that Jane sat in her own

And. waking suddenly, with a mighty
start. he found that she did!
For a moment he stared ut her as
at a ghost. Then her soft laugh and
her voice set his senses tingling.

She shook her head. put her face
close to his and told him that she did.
Did you leave anybody in Boston

Rodney asked, very humbly.
NO one, Rod"

he had been ~clinging to in a kind Of
desperation. and took her in his arms-

Why Lightning Rods Are Pointed.


The reason a lightning rod has a
sharp point is because Il fine point of
ferS no resistance to the discharge of
electricity and in order that a cloud
may be emptied of it nOiselessly and
harmIessly. The degree Of resistance
is in proportion to the surface Of the
object. If the rod were SurmOunted
by a knob, for instance, the discharge
would be violent. But many a light
ming rod has received an electrical dis
charge when the people in the build
ing below We're calmly unconscious of
the face. NoncorrOSive metal is used
for the point OF the rod, as cOrrosion
makes resistance. The difference be
tween a point and a ball is shown in
d~ischarging a battery. The full charge
from a large battery would be re-
ceived quietly on q metal point, while
a moderate charge from a small one
would explode violently on a ball. 1t
is said that 4 full charge may be
passed harmlessly through a persons
body if received on the point of a
needle, whereas the same charge re-
ceived on a discharger, with a ball or
knob on the end, would mean instant
death.

John Junken Is Taken to Des
MOines Jail to Avert Posi-
sible Lynching.
POPUlACt HIGHLY EXCITED
Cell Mate Tells How Negro Planned
Crime While Still! in the
Penitentiary.

Des Moines, March 2. - John Jun
ken, a negro, confessed slayer OF
Clara Rosen at Ottumwa Feb. last
was brought to Des Moines at s
O'Clock yesterday morning by Sheriff
Griffin of Abba from the county jail
there. The slayer vas placed in the
county Jail here for safekeeping, as
feeling runs high in Ottumwa, the
scene of five brutal murders of WON
en-.
Junken is alleged to have planned
the murder at Ottumwa while he was
still an inmate of the Fort Madison
penitentiary, serving time for robbins
and beating woman. 1t has his
boast that he would again do the
trick" if given a chance. He boosted
of his ability to attack defenseless
women. This information came in a
letter from Albert Evans, a Missouri
negro, who was a cellmate With Jun
ken at Fort Madison.
Ceilmate Tells of Plans.
"Junken is guilty of that crime
writes the negro Evans. He planned
it while still in the penitentiary, and
when he left I knew that it was his
intention to pull off the stunt as soon
as he had an opportunity"
Evans statement is given more
weight on account of the fact that
Junken killed Miss Rosen just a few
days after he had been liberated from
Fort Madison. He was released Jan.
10, and Feb. 5 the crime was commit
ted.
Junken plans to stand trial and has
made request that a well known ne
tation.
Says He Was Full Of Dope.
81 was full of dope, l tell you -
chuck full of it," he moaned as he
tossed about on his narrow bunk. He
told the sheriff he had been chewing
cocaine, but on the way to Des
Moines he said he had been eating
opium. Any attempt he may make
along this line to secure lighter sen.
tence and escape penalty will be
fought by the state on the claim tina.
the crime was premeditataed.
The arrival of the mob from Ottum.
wa at Abba is responsible for Jun.
ken's confession. He began Friday to
make his admission and at that time
implicated Weaver, another Ottumwa
negro. But prior to this he had con-
fessed his guilt to another negro at
the Abba Jail. Junken will be given
an immediate trial.

SsE VISION Of LOST roll :,
Davenport Man Who Lost $37, 900 Ties
Up in Court Package He Thinks
Contains 100000.

Davenport. Iowa, March 2. - Three
packages addressed to Monty" Nc.
Call, Davenport, Iowa, care the Edo.
RADIO, and supposed to contain sec, 1000,
shipped here by the gang of alleged
swindlers arrested at Little Rock.
Ark, are being held here under at
tachment proceedings and will not be
returned to Little Rock until released
by the court. ]. E. Covanaugh. who
says he was swindled out of $4,000
by the gang, succeeded in tying up
the packages by court proceedings
and hopes to get his money back. At
present the contents of the packages
are only matter of conjecture. They
were shipped under a nominal valua-
tion Of s25 each, charges prepaid.
Monty" Mccall was the name by
which one of the Little Rock prison
ers was known. Davenport was their
headquarters for several years.
The safe of a we'll known club
room was blown open here by bur-
glars, who were evidently looking for
the express packages, supposed to con-
tain the 100000 cash. The burglars
secured only 5000. The packages
sought were at that hour in the
American express Office. and since
lave been placed in safety deposit
vaults.

LEAvITT TO FIGHT.
Artist Said to Have spurned Offer Of
Money From organs.

Money From organs.
Lincoln, Neb, March 2. - Further
than the tacit admission that failure
has attended their efforts to effect an
arrangement with William Homer
Leavitt not to oppose the divorce pro.
ceedings instituted here by their eld-
est daughter. Ruth Bryan Leavitt,
members of William j. Bryan's family
refuse to discuss the approaching trial
OF the case.
Only few days it was learned that
the middle of last October an agent
was sent to Paris with an offer of a
money settlement if Leavitt would not
fight the divorce suit.
Why so much secrecy is maintained
at Fairview is arousing interest among
the friends of the organs. 1t is known
that the agent reported that Leavitt
scornfully declined to consider a mon
ey proposition to surrender his wife
and two children, and that it was aft
er receiving this report that Mr.. Bry-
an ordered the institution of the suit
by his brother-in-law, Tom Allen.

Haggling Over Terms of Sale
Extraordinary Incident in
Cooper Trial.
GOODS BOUGHT IN THE Bag
Physician Testifes That If Carmack
Fired at All He Opened the
Fatal Battle.

Nashville. Tenn, March 3. - The
spectacle of counsel on one side not
only selling a witness to the opposi-
ton, but haggling over terms. was one
of the extraordinary incidents yester-
day in the trial of Col. D. B. Copper,
Robin Cooper and John D. Sharp for
the Staying of former United States
Senator E. w. Carmack.
The subject of the commercial
transaction was DR.. McPheeters Glas-
gov, who had been employed by the
prosecution to go to Columbia and
perform an autopsy on Senator Car
mack's body. He did so and reported
his findings to the prosecution. He
was subpoenaed by the state, but was
not used. The defense learned of the
autopsy and summoned the doctor.
DR.. Glasgow told counsel for the de-
tense that his services as an expert
had been retained by the state and
that he would not discuss the case ex-
cept with the attorney general. The
defense asked the court yesterday
morning to instruct the doctor to talk
to its counsel.
Defense is In Douh..
The court complied partially by tell
ing the doctor that it would be proper
for him to talk with the defendants
attorneys if he had any information
that would throw light on the killing.
The state objected and the doctor
stood firm. Then the states counsel
made this proposition: That if the
defense would pay the state the costs
of the autopsy, including DR.. Glas-
COWS fee. the state would waive it's
rights.
AS Judge Hart said, "the defense
wanted to see the goods before they
bought" and they offered to confer
with DR.. Glasgow, and if they decid-
ed to use him as witness to reim-
burse the state.
To this counter proposition the
prosecutors entered an emphatic veto.
There was another hurried confer
ence and the defense bought the
goods in the bag" and Mr.. Glasgow
became their witness. The signifi-
canoe of his testimony was that any
one of the three wounds was necessa.
rily and instantly fatal and that if the
senator did not fire the first shots he
could not have fired at all.

TO Pull WHEAT DOWN TO 81
Bears Declare Prevailing Prices Are
False, but Opponents Are Con.
fident of $l.z5.

Chicago, March 3.-Upon the shout
ders of j. Ogden ArL..our viii! fall the
Herculean task Of graphing with
James "A. Patten, acknowledged
wheat king" of the world, in an at
tempt to overthrow this car of the
pit and pull wheat down to around
the 81 mark.
1t was the late P. D. Armour who
was called upon at the last minute to
overthrow the young Joe" Letter
when the impetuous millionaire tried
to corner wheat, and now his son has
fallen heir to task which is even
greater. Letter was overthrown at a
cost of 100000 to himself and
friends and was forced to go through
bankruptcy.
Armour Interests Short.
The Armour Grain company is said
to be short on wheat and on the same
side of the market are the other large
elevator interests of the country.
j. Ogden Armour led these forces
against the bulls. There is still nine.
ty days. time in which to deliver the
May wheat that James A. Patten has
bought. and the bears are not inclined
to force the fighting at the present
stage.
Wheat yesterday acted seemingly
according to its own free will. It
opened at $1.17 SO, cents lower than
it closed Saturday at noon. During
the trading fluctuations were varied
and brokers stormed the pit, buying
and selling in a perfect frenzy.
At the close of the markets Patten
had given enough support to send
wheat to $1.17. This price was taken
rs showing nothing of the real condi-
ton of the market.
Both Sides Take Rosy View.
Both the bulls and the bears an.
pear confident, and both quote volubly
of figures which seem to prove that
the position they have taken is the
correct one. Patten, as the leader of
the bull market. says that there is
not enough wheat to supply the
worlds demand, while the leaders in
the bear movement assert, and with
apparent confidence, that Patten is
mistaken.
Walter Fitch, former president of
the board of trade and a member Of
the firm CT Pringle & Fitch, declared
yesterday that Patten was on the
right side of the market and that
wheat would go to s1.25 bushel.
