were rival merchants in Girard. Brown
was killed and some suspicion fell on
Rogers. Rogers was indicted, convict
ed and the case taken to the supreme
court. The high tribunal reversed the
case and granted a change of venue
91huiiS inc case W NduiSOH pdliSh
for the second hearing.
Peculiar Delay.
At the second triaf of the case a
jury had been secured and all the evil
dence had been submitted when the
tr al judge received message that
his two children had been poisoned
The Judge was called to his home,
where one of the poisoned children
subsequently, died. The judge ordered
the jury discharged and the trial came
to an end.
The prisoner contended that he had
already been placed in jeopardy and
that he was entitled to be set free.

while Rogers was in jail at Tallulah.
DR.. Brown chartered a V. S. & P. spe-
cial train to run from Monroe to Delta
Part of the mob boarded the train at
Monroe and additions were picked up

DUNDEE SHOWS BIG GROWTH
Quarter of Million Dollars spent for
New Homes In the suburb
Last Year.

Approximately o quarter OF million
dollars were spent on the construction of
homes in Dundee last year and the indica-
tons are that this sum will be far exceeded
during the building season OF 1911. is the
opinion of G, G, George.
Last year there were sixty-one or sixty
two homes built in that suburb at an aver
age cost OF about $4,000" says he. and
since the first OF the present year nearly
half that number OF houses have already
been started. The building season has just
begun, so II is safe to say that the figures
Of last year will fall far short Of covering
the operations OF the present twelve
month";
George q Co. has placed on the
market a large amount Of property for
which Il is agent in Dundee, also Happy
Hollow and Fair-acres. and already very
satisfactory number Of lots have been sold
and arrangements made to build on them.

rather to introduce In dignified way the

Express Companies Get All the
PrOfIts-Case Now IN
Court.

clever scheme to make the express
companies realize the resentment which the
bankers feel against them for selling money
orders which must go to the banks for
payment has been brought to light in the
case now pending between the American
Express company OF Omaha and Willis
Mcbride. president Of the First National
bank of Elgin The bankers have for
long time objected to the fact that they
are forced to cash express money orders
which are issued by one express office
against another without provision being
made for payment MIR. Mcbride some
time ago decided to bring this fact directly
home to the express companies by treating
express orders as ordinary negotiable in
struments.
He came in to Omaha and from the
Omaha office OF the American Express
company bought 100 money orders for $40
each. He knew that the local agent at
Elsin would never be able to cash them
and he presented them there for payment.
The Elgin agent did his best and paid
fifteen of the orders. but that $500 was all
the cash he could muster. The other
eighty-flve were returned to Mr.. Mcbride
to recover as best he could. rhe usual
proceeding in such a case would be to
ask the local bank to carry the orders.
1t was the memory of such transa ,tions
that was ranking in the bankers mind,
so he protested the eighty-five orders
