What the Taxpayers Will Be Assessed
For the Ledbeter Trial.
Erana MondaN,s naIlx

Mrs. Grace Ledbeter arrived from
SpOoner, Wis, yesterday noon to pack
up her goods and get them away. Mr..
and Mrs. w. l.. Schwandt also arrived
from Sanborn, Mimi, to try to get
the case against them disposed of.
County Auditor Weaver states that
the total cost of the Ledbeter murder
case to date has been $9,474,78, and he
believes that more bills will come in.
The records of the treasurer's office
show that Mrs. Ledbeter paid the first
half Of the real estate taxes on the
farm $35.2l, on May 90. This IS two
days before the story of the reappear
ance of her husband, when it was claim
ed that the latter had offered Smith
$40 to hand to Mrs. Ledbeter The lat
ter's letter to friend, written about
that time, and published, contained a
statement that her husband had left
her but 35 cents.
Mrs. Ledbeter will probably remain in
the city for several weeks and perhaps
permanently. She has about concluded
not to spend the winter with her Ia
ther near Spooner, as he has small
and not very, productive farm, and can
hardly afford to support her and
the four children. He could support
her but the children will have to be
cared for, also. Mrs. Ledbeter is not
willing to part permanently with them
and it is likely that she will take
rooms in the city and furnish them
with her household goods, that are now,
scattered about the city. She will get
employment, if she can, but otherwise
may take the advice of her friends
and go to some large city and try to
get work, or engage in the raising of
poultry. She is familiar with the lat
ter, but thus far has not taken kindly
to the suggestion. Her friends say that
she is completely at seat, herself, as to,
what she will do in the future

Elbow Lake Find So Pronounced By
Geologist Winchell.

ST. Paul, Jan. 1.-THE final disposal
of the famous Kensington rhinestone
and the report on the Elbow Lake
limestone furnished the principal
topics of discussion at the annual meet
ing OF the Minnesota Historical society,
held last. night in the old capitol. The
Elbow Lake specimen was declared to
be fossil by Professor n. H. Win
chell of Minneapolis, for thirty years
state geologist.
Professor Winchell ascribes the sin.
scription,' which consists of two con-
centric circles, the larger about nine
inches in diameter, with a large num-
ber of small radical marks between
them, arranged like the figures on a
clock face, to be fossil sponge of the
order ''ischaditis" which lived millions
of years ago in the Lower Siurian
geologic age.
The Kensington rhinestone, which has
been translated into English and is oil
great scientific value, is the property
|of Hjalmar Holland, the Wisconsin
man who first exploited it as genu-
inc, and obtained possession of it from
the farmer who found it Although it
is at present in the custody OF the his
torical society here, further steps will
be necessary to secure its permanent
exhibition in ST. Paul.

VALUE OF SCIENTIFIC FARMING

Scientific farming gets a boost by
the discovery that the Illinois average
corn crop increased four and three
tenths bushels per acre last year, max
ing the total value $l92, 2,2S0,000, which
was ffty-seven per cent of the total
value of the states various crops. H.
linois and Iowa not only led all the
other states in crop values but have
taken the lead in fostering agricultural
education, two related facts significant

Wisconsin's energy i'll the same di-
rection shows its effect in the crop
totals although the state has been
reckoned as more distinctly lumber

ceed in value by over $30,O00,0O0 the
value of all the tobacco raised in the
United tSates. That, as a staid pro-
fessor was heard to say, is ''going

The Illinois crop footed up a total
of 1887 100000 with Iowa's next, at

total as to crop. Then came Pennsyl-
