swer questions as to his future actions
and possible defense for his wife.
Arsenic in Quantities.
DR.. Warren's report states that in.
II analyses of portions of Erders' body
he found .3162 grains OF white arsenic.
The material from which this poison
was recovered weighed 1929 pounds.
In his first report DR.. Warren swore
that the embalming fluid used by Err
der's undertaken contained no trace of
arsenic.
Miss Kate Erder, sister of the dead
man. furnished the prosecuting attor-
neys today with what may become inn
portant evidence. She turned over a
letter from a firm Of attorneys in
Columbus, Neb.. in which it was stated
that the records Of a bank there show
that draft for $2,700 drawn by Mrs.
Dora e. Erder, was received shortly
after Erder's death in July. This cor

collected on Erder's life policies.

DIR. Doxey broke silence today and
gave an extended statement in defense
of his wife. In it he declared that she
was never married to Erder, but that
in May, of 1909. she was in hospital
in st. Louis. He described many oper-
ations and illnesses to which she had
been subjected and asserted that the
drugs given her at those times are re-
sponsible for the fact that she is
neurasthenic.

WILL PLEAD GUILTY AND
GO TO PENiTENTIARY

Clear Lake. s. b.. Dec Tt is re-
ported on good authority that Ralph
kniss, the Luverne, Minn., young man
who recently was arrested at his Min
to answer the charge OF forgery, has
decided to enter a plea of guilty and
thus secure & as light penitentiary
sentence as possible. He is charged
with forging the name Of Attorney
Mead, of this place, to check for SO.
This makes the third time that he has
been arrested on the charge of forgery.
All his troubles in this respect appear
to be due to his uncomfortable appe.
tite for strong drink.

Between the registers in the regis
tratlon booths, with their questions
as to the Interpretation Of the Con
stitution, and the regulators at the
polls with their shot guns and
clubs, the colored men of Missis-
sippi had soon realized that it was
useless for them to attempt to vote,
not to say fatal. But IS years
after the adoption of this amend
ment, when there was scarcely any
negro voters in all Mississippi,
Mr.. Vardamau solemnly pretended
that education would make the
negro a menace to the white men
of Mississippi, and he advocated
that educating the negro meant to
make him dangerous to society.
He promised that if he were elect
ed governor not one cent should
be spent on the education of the
negroes of Mississippi, except the
revenues derived by the State from
the taxes paid by the negro them
selves a sum so small that had
he been sincere Mr.. Vardaman
would have promised that the
Colored schools of Mississippi
should be practically closed and
the colored children of the State
deprived OF education. OF course,
it was only a demagogue's trick.
During his term as Governor he
never alluded to the promise he
made in his gicampan.

PANAMA AFTER MORE TROUBLE
Uncle Sam May Be Compelled to
Spank the Hid

" aSh1ngtOn, ID. 4, sept. Ell
Apparently the United States gov
eminent has little further business
to transact with the government,
and, incidentally, the police Off
Gals of Panama concerning the
protection of American citizens in
that country.
George 7. Weitzel, secretary of
the American Legation at Panama,
and i'll charge at present during
the absence of Minister Herbert
C. Squires, on leave, was instruct
ed by cable Friday by Acting
Secretary of State Wilson to re-
quest the Panama authorities to
make thorough investigation of
the treatment of William Miller.
Mr.. Miller, who temporarily took
up his abode in Panama City, was
recently arrested on the charge of
drunkenness. According to the
complaint which has reached the
State Department on behalf of the
unfortunate American, he was not
permitted by the police to lock the
door of his residence, where he
lived alone, and that, as a result,
travelling bag containing SG75 in
gold and S74 in silver was stolen
from his house during his i'm
prisonment.
The State Department is not at
all pleased with the result of the
trial in the case of the murder OF
Charles Rand, boatswain mate
of the naval transport Buffalo,
which took place September 20,
1908. After the case had dragged
nearly a year and the Panama au-
thorities promised that they would
properly punish the men RESPONSE
bic for Rand'S death, a trial was
finally brought about. This was
not until the State Department
had given what was practically
an ultimatus that unless the guilty
persons were brought to trial and
a guarantee of protection of Amer
lean sailors and other citizens
given, this government, by pro-
vision of the canal treaty, would
police the territory adjacent to the
Zone, including Panama City and
Colon.
According to the reports which
have just reached the State De
partment, Jacinto Escudera, the
man charged with killing Rand
was tried September 2, in the Stu.
perior Court of Panama City, be.
fore the customary jury of three
men. Rand, while accompanied
by another sailor, was bounced
upon and stabbed 50 severely that
he died the next day, while his
companion was badly beaten. Not.
withstanding that thorough inves.
legations were made by tie consul
and officials of the legation, as
! we'll as By officers from the Buffalo
! the jury, after little more than one
hours deliberation, gave verdict
of not guilty.

be Advanced in the
Near Future

Now that the question Of rail
road transportation into the Thun-
der Creek mining district in the
near future is an assured fact, and
in view of the recent further un-
covering Of a large and very rich
body of ore on the properties OF
the Thunder Creek Mining Com
pany, the board of directors at a
recent meeting resolved to shortly
advance the price of stock, and
prospective investors are warned
that they will soon have to pay at
least seventy-tive cents. if not one
dollar, the par value. The new
block of stock of ten Thousand
shares which was placed on the
market at so cents on five monthly
payments, or All cents cash, to COW
er the existing tunnel contract at
the mines, is being rapidly sub
scribed for, and when it is exhaust
ed the price will be advanced.
Persons who are interested are
invited to call at the se~cretarv's
office in the Meehar building, next
door to the postotfice, and e the
magnificent specimens OF ore and
get liter AZURE. The secretary will
be pleased to give full informa ATTIC q
concerning this wonderfully rich
mining proposition.
