the Jury. Crone said: AT first be
lieyed Hyde innocent. and until Sun
day night. | voted to acquit him.
Then ! recalled his testimony about
his cyanide purchases. and | decided
he was guilty. ! told MIR Johnson I
had changed my vote. and ! talked
with him about my decision" A
strange feature Of Juror Crone's &C.
ton is that his son. Albert. was re.
Gently sentenced to eighteen years in
the peritcntiary for numbering Ber.
tina Bowler. his sweetheart
The return OF the verdict was
marked by an absence Of dramatic
features. Mrs. Hyde cried little
when she heard the verdict in the
court rJom. DR.. Hyde did not change
bis usual stolcal expression Mrs.
Logan o. Swopc was unneryed when,
at her home In independence, she
heard the outcome.
My home IL stlll open to my
daughter" she said. Il feel sorry fol
her"
But Mrs. Hyde is not going back to
her mother. She Is still loyal to her
husband. and confidently believes the
supreme court will free him.
DR.. u. Clark Hyde has been under
suspicion In connection with the mys
terious deaths and illness In the
swope family ever since the death OF
Col. Thomas II. swope In October,
1903 The death OF Colonel Swopo
followed soon after he had had a SC.

II was a digestive tablet.
It was proven at the trial that DIR.
Hyde had purchased cyanide OF po-
tassium In five.Erain capsules, and he

County taxes are paid alike by all tax
payers in the county, and anything that
affects the rate in the county is of egit
mate interest to every taxpayer in the
county. Every taxpayer in the county has
a moral and legal right to be heard on all
questions which affect county taxes"
The expense Of prosecuting those who
commit crimes as the result of her saloons
is charged to the people of the whole
county.
The county is one Of the chief units in
our system of government We have others,
as the township, city, state, etc. The
county is not only the unit for the col
lection and distribution of taxes, but
many things necessary to our social and
industrial prosperity find their best eX-
preston through the county; county fairs,
farmers Institutes, political conventions,
historical societies, etc. have been asso-
ciated with the county from their organ
ization.
allowed to vote on the question of saloons
in the county seat It has not been long
since the saloon objected to anyone, even
residents of the town, voting on the sa-
loon question. In prosecuting criminals
the county judge who decides the cases,
the prosecuting attorney who prosecutes
the criminals and the sheriff who executes
the orders of the courts, all have jurisdic-
ton throughout the county. These, to-
gether with the auditor, treasurer, probate
judge, recorder, clerk of courts, commits
sioners, surveyors coroner and infrmary
directors, are elected by all the voters of
the county
The county infrmary is supported by
taxation on the entire county and many of
the unfortunate inmates were brought to
their present pitiable state because we
have open saloons. The annual poor tax
is levied on the county.
Option means choice-county option
means for the people of the county to
choose between continuing to bear the
burdens of the open saloon, with it's long
train Of attendant evils, or throwing off
it's shackles 1t is based on "majority
rule" The pillars Of our republic rest on
the principle Of deciding questions accord
