PLOT TO MURDER
SAYLER EXPOSED
NEGRO WAS TO BE MADE DRUNK
AND BLAMED WITH
CRIME.

Watseka. H., March 1s.-Eight
jurors are accepted in the Sayler
trial and two tentatively passed.
Golda, Mrs. Sayler's daughter, is TO
assist w. o. Sayler in the prosecu-
ton of DR.. Miller and will try to con-
tradict his testimony, concerning her
mother. The defense is more conf
dent today. It is known that Judge
Miller Is opposed to capital punish
ment especially in cases where cir
cumstantial evidence enters. Much
Of the evidence in this case is circum-
stantial.
w. o. Sayler was summonsed to
the prosecutors office to discuss i'm
portant evidence discovered by the
state. Sayler made the statement
that a witness would be produced 10
prove the murder was planned As
hours before the deed. A negro win
be produced to testify that an at
tempt was made to get him drunk
when he was to have been turned
into the street after the deed was
done. II was figured that public in
dignation would exhaust itself in
violence on him.

Insurgents and Democrats
Hold Regulars in Session
All Night. Trying to Force
Speaker Cannon Out.

Washington, March 1S.--After a
continuous session lasting 25 hours,
congress adjourned at 1:45 until 4 to
resume considering a change in the
rules committee. Joe Cannon voted
with the insurgents and favors giving
in 10 them. The regulars are pro-
posing compromises, which so far
have been rejected.
The insurgents still retained the
upper hand. Senator Bailey in con-
ference with the leaders OF the in
surgents and Cannon, said, "They are
fdding around trying to effect a
compromise; / don't think much of
it. Why not get back to business?"
The allies have turned down all prop
ositions by the regulars. The first
proposition was that the committee
consist of ten members with a pro-
hibition against the speaker being a
member. The second was that the
committee consist of fifteen with no
provision that the speaker be not a
member. The third was TO accept
the Norris resolution without a pro-
vision against the speaker being a
member. The speaker is in favor of
giving the insurgents their own way.
At 1:45 a motion for a recess until
4 p. m carried by a vote Of 161 to
ISL. Cannon voted aye.
After vain efforts to recruit a
quorum the committee on the Ballin-
ger-Rlnchot affair adjourned till to-
morrow. Wilson gave as the reason
the absence of members OF the COM

Recapltulation OF the figures IN the
county assessors BOOKS was COM
pleted today by the force In the
county court clerks Office, showing
an Increase OF s5i6.32T In the value
of property assessed for county taxa
ton This increase IN the valuation
was made by the board OF supervisors
which was In session during January
The total amount on which taxes will
be collected Is Si2.0S7.77S while
Il.5Si,f51 was the valuation for
1909.
The securing OF the recapltulafion
OF the assessors books Is not an easy
task, az there are 20 many Items, and
the lines are 30 confusing that mis-
takes are made easily. Before the
reorganization can be sent 60 the

some OF the valuations are humor-
ous and they emphasize how many
people fail 10 give In a correct esti-
mated value OF their possessions. For
instance. the recapltulation shows
there are only 90 diamonds in Nc
Craoken oounty and they are valued
at $3.50. Other items are as ridicu-
lous. as the valuation Of sllyerware Is
fixed az sG20. while the total value
OF all the iewelry in the entire coua-
~ Is worth only $500 According
TO the hgures. the citizens OF Nc
Crasken county are ready TO apply
for entrance to the poor house.
Watches and clocks are valued az

Nobody In the county receives any
patent rights. while the great sum OF
$40 Is subject 60 taxation on account
OF receiving a royalty. One painting
valued at $40 Will give the county a
