HOLD COTTON SEED.
President Dabbs Thinks Prices or
fered Are Ruinous.

"At prices that have prevailed we
should use them for fertilizer rather
than SELL"
This statement is made by Presi-
dent E. w. Dabbs, Of the State Farm
ers' union, in urging the farmers
to hold cotton seed for a higher price.
He says in letter ut ont to the
local unions that in the fight for
higher price for cotton that the far
mers have overlooked the ruinous
prices offered for cotton seed.
The following letter has been sent
out by President Dabbs to the local
unions:
'sIn our work for the price of cot
ton we have overlooked the ruinous
prices that have been offered for cot
ton seed. At prices that have pre-
vailed we should use them for fer
tilizer rather than sell. have been
informed, and believe it to be re-
liable, that the market for cotton
seed oil and by products, and the
price of meal, would warrant S28 to
$50 per ton for seed.
Take care of your seed. Pick
and gin your cotton dry. Store the
seed in small piles well protected
from the weather and do not sell any
seed till the market advances con-
siderably"

woman. They entered the Office of
Cluverius, a rising young lawyer,
and arrested him. Among his papers
they found letters from Lillian Mad
ison, which told a pitiful tale of how
he had won her affection and then
betrayed her.
From the purport of the letters he
had agreed to marry her and had
written her about Christmas to meet
him secretly in Richmond. Culver
ius admitted all the letters implied,
but denied responsibility for the
death of the young woman.
He was tried for murder. and the
jury after two hours deliberation
found him guilty and he was hanged,
protesting his innocence on the gal
lows. Phillips confessed, Cluverius

ADMITS bis CRIME
CONFESSES HE ABDUCTED AND
MURDERED CHILD.
The Fiend Was Immediately Sentenc-
ed to Life Imprisonment in the
State Prison.

John, otherwise known as DOG
skin" Johnson, Wednesday night
confessed to the abduction and mur-
der of little Annie Lemberger, the
seven-year-old child, whose body was
found in Lake Monono last Saturday,
near Madison, Wis.
He was Immediately sentenced by
Judge Anthony Donovan to life i'm
prisonment A few minutes after
wards Johnson was taken in an au-
tomobile by Sheriff Andrew Brown
to the State prison at Waupun. 1t
had been feared that Johnson might
be lynched.
He was arrested Saturday on sus-
picion, but after being questioned he
was released. The officers had him
under suspicion all day and in the
evening once more placed him un-
arrest.
Although the police strongly sus-
pected Johnson of knowing some.
thing about the crime they could not
fasten guilt upon him absolutely. Oa
the strength of their suspicion, how
ever, he was taken into Court Tues
day, pleaded not guilty and was plac-
ed under a $4,000 bond, the pre-
liminary examination being set for
September 25. The prisoner was
then taken back to his cell. He was
plainly frightened.
Toward evening Turnkey John
Foye was called by Johnson and told
he wished to make confession.
Chief of Police Shaughnessy was in
formed and sent for District Attor-
ney r. N. Nelson, the county prose-
cutor, Chef Of police and other Off
cials soon gathered about the Court
House, where the prisoner, before
Donovan, confessed to the crime.
Johnson said the deed was the re-
suit of a sudden impulse. He had
watched throug.l the window the lit
tie girl and her sister undress at bed
time on numerous occasions and on
the fateful night, shortly after the
children had fallen asleep he raised
the sash and snatched little Annie
from the bed, dragged her through
tie window and struck her uncons-
,ious so there would be no outcry.
He then took her to the railroad |
bridge and after beating her until
life was extinct threw the body into
Lake Monona.

cal officials are awaiting news Of the
shipping of the box from Waco to de-
termine whether the body had been
lawfully eXhumed.
A dispatch from Waco, Texas, says
the body of Mrs. Wilson, who died
here, was sent seven years ago to an
other Mrs. Wilson at Sacramento,
CAL, and remained in the freight de-
pot of the Southern Pacific, Mrs. Will
son, of Sacramento, having refused
to receive it or pay charges.
