REWARD IN HIS WILL.
Left by Millionaire for Discoverer of
His Sons Murderer.

New York. July 13.-Henry Dexter,
the millionaire president Of the Amer
lean News company, who died at his
home here last night in his 9Sth year,
spent the greater part of the last seven
years of his life in an unavailing
search for the murderer of his son,
Orlando P. Dexter. A reward of $1O,-
900 offered by Mr.. Dexter for the APP
prehension of the murderer, is said
to be continued in a codicil to the
nonagenarians will.
Orlando P. Dexter was shot in the
back in September, 1908, while driving
along road on his estate in the
Adirondack mountains. The bullet
that killed him passed entirely through
his body and killed the horse he was
driving. It was believed that Dexter
was murdered by some one who had a
grudge against him because he had
bought about 10000 acres of land in
the best game section of the Adiron-
dacks.
Henry Dexter always believed that
his sons murderer was being shielded
by prominent persons. He is said to
have expended at least $4,000 in his
efforts to clear up the mystery. AS a
memorial to his son he erected the
new building of the New York His
torical society in Central park west at
a cost of $350,000.

NEW WHEAT ON THE MARKET.
Generally Conceded That Price Will
Range Between 20 and so Cents.

Englewood, Kan, July 13.-Owing
to the scarcity of help and a heavy
yield and large acreage of wheat but
little threshing has been done, as it
has been necessary for those with
threshing to wait until they could get
men from the headers to complete
their crew.
The wheat that has been marketed
is of excellent quality and tested out
about SO pounds, bringing 80 cents.
1t is a difficult problem to tell just
what the steady market will be as the
local buyers must be governed by the
general market. But it is generally
conceded that the market will range
between 20 and 80 cents.

 Loose Trousers in the Navy.

Naval officers are laughing at the ignorance displayed by the lawmakers in congress the other day when some one sought to learn the reason why the bottoms of the trousers of enlisted men in the navy are loose. Represent navy academy and ought to know, gave the following explanation:
 T am inclined to think that the trousers of the sailor were evolved in the days of Noah, and that when the first sailor began to swim he found it better to have the trousers loose at the bottom to get his stroke more ef- fectively.
 When MT Cooper of Wisconsin, with an air of incredulity. asked if he really though there were sailors in Noah's ark, MT. Hobson replied:
 My statement is based on the as sumption that the world is a water planet, and from the very beginning naval affairs have been of the first vived because they recognized this in herent pre-en1inence of the question of adequate naval preparation. The hu- man race was once saved by a ship, and is going to be saved again by ships. The sailor could not make him. times he spread his trousers out at the bottom. His trousers fiared out in the infancy of man and they will still probably be faring out when the last trumpet sounds"
 Naval officers declare that the reason why enlisted men wear ffaring trouser bottoms is so they may be rolled up to if necessary, and to get them out of the way when the barefootsd men are swaibbing down the dectSs.-Wasiling = ton Letter to the Brooklyn Eagle

The Newport Verdict.

The jury in the case of Walter K Newport, on trial in New Haven for attempted murCer, have rendered the verdict of insanity and the judge has sentenced Newport to the insane asy- lum at MiddletOwn for five years Tn sane for five years" is rather a strange verdict for Connecticut court to render and the question at once arises as to whether the insanity plea is not being overworked in murder trials.
 As we understand it, the original intent of the insanity clause was to hold blameless raving maniac or a person entirely demented who should commit crime It has now become quite the thing especially in murder trials to offer the plea of insanity as defense and as soon as the crim- inal has been judged insane at the time his crime was committed, his at torneyS at once take steps to prove that his insanity was only temporary
 This happened in the Newport case for almost in the same breath in which Newport's attorney expressed his joy at the verdict or insanity, he an nounced that they would at once be- gin the attempt to prove his present sanity. This makes the insanity plea testimony by hired medical experts look rather wobbly when it is inspect ed a second time. and when the in tent of the attorneys is to prove the criminal just the opposite from the first time. We wonder if the same expert medical advice will be employ ed to prove Newport sane that has just aided in proving him insane.-Bristol Press.
