Mrs Darrow sat near her husband.
A delay, seemingly interminable
to eager spectators, occurred at the
opening of court, while a procession
of veniremen explained to Judge
Bordwell why they should not be
asked to serve. This was the end
of a preliminary hearing in which
the judge rapidly welded out over
half the first venire of 125 men
before the trial formally opened.
The MacNamara's were brought
into court together and remained un-

After a few minutes of parley At
torney Lecompte Davis, for the de-
fense, faced the waiting veniremen
and made the first speech of the
trial.
THE court suggests that l inform
you that when you enter the jury
box you will remain there or be

your wives or attend to your bust

PARIS, Oct. 12.-Communicatio
with Tripoli having been re-estab-
lished. details of the situation there
are pouring in. From yesterdays
advices it would appear that Mum
hir Pasha, the commander of the
Turkish garrison, until the last mo-

compelled to retreat before the Ital-
ian guns, his force went so hur-

Munnir is now gathering his men

has at his disposal provisions for
six weeks without including what
he expects to obtain by confiseatina
everything that he is able to seize
on the Ghadames caravan routes.
1t seems to be the intention o.
the Turkish commander to resis
the Italians as long as possible, bu

The vote in favor of placing i'll
the hands of the people the recall

surprise, even to the friends of
that proposed amendment. San
Francisco, which voted almost two

recall by more than four to one,
while the initiative and referendum
were given almost equally as large
plaiorities.

"hee' from, California. It is ad-
mitted he was not in California at
the time OF the destruction Of the
Times" building. In the early history
Of the Mormon church in Illinois one
Of Ito leaders was charged with
crime committed in Missouri. It was
alleged that he had conspired with an
other, and had procured the other to
80 into Missouri and comrait tho crime.
The accused leader secured a writ Of
habeas corpus out Of the federal court
In Illinois. He proved that he had not
been in the state Of Missouri on the
Guy OF the commission of the crime,
nor at any time since up to the time
since up to the time Of his arrest. He
therefore could not have ''f1ed" f. Cm
Missouri. He was releaser, and never
having been kidnapped" and never
having afterward been found in Mis-
souri,, he was never prosecuted. This
would have proved the case with John
j. Mcnamara, had he secured a writ Of
habeas corpus in any state but Cali
fornia, provided the court before WHOM
he was produced on q writ of habeas
corpus followed the law. The courts
hold, however, that once in the state
where the crime is alleged to have been
committed. no matter whether the
means by which the prisoner is
brought there be lawful OF unlawful,
the state whose laws have been violat-
ed can not be compelled to surrender
the prisoner. This confusion is dus
to the fact that the constitution was
framed before the various states abol-
ished the distinction between prin.
cipals and accessories in crime. In
most Of the states the man who plans
a crime and procures it to be carried
out by another is now charged as &.
principal offender. Every time, there
fore, one of these accessories before
the fact commits a crime in another
state by proxy, he must be kidnapped"
or he escapes punishment. Every
where this kidnapping" is done with
out fuss-it is a common practise in
police circles-unti the kidnapping" of
some prominent citizen calls attention
to the matter, as in the present in
stance.

JIM pAHtlaAN AND MRS, HAYWARD.

Yearss axp when Chadron, Nebraska,
was Q cow town in the midst Of the
cattle ranges, a: hot, dry, shadeless lit
tie town to which men came and
where they lived in the hope to make
money enough to live elsewhere, two
spersons lived IN Chadron. One was
Jim Dahlman, the notorious mayor Of
twi1on few outside of Chadron have
ever heard, Mrs. Hayward.
It was dry, dirty. tough little place,
. typical cow town. Mrs. Hayward
urged that the square should be estap-
tdished- az a park and set with shade
trees. She kept urging until she in
iterested a few others and the square
was thus set aside and mainly by her
efforts and with her money planted
with shade trees. She watched and
twatered, tended and protected those
trees. They grew and with them grew
"a civic pride and q sense OF response
Utility In Chadron. Before she died the
town was with her heart and hand
Children played and people gathered
under the trees she had planted. Men
forgot they had come to Chadron
simply AZ an expedient and took root
with the trees, The rudeness and
wretchedness and wickedness faded as
the new spirit and the trees grew.
Chadron had found its soul.
She died. but today q chain Of parks
and iIl1runsersh1e civic improvements
have come from the one woman's
work. The old order has vanished. In
Its place have come new order and
an intense pride in the home city. Men

Inquiry was made of the Wells-Far-

thirteen and one-half pound box Of
books to California. 1.-TWO dollars.
There was no hurry so the books were
ordered shipped by freight, the pre-
sumption being that the charge would
be much less. But the bill presented
the freight charge was found to be
$3.50. Some mistake? 1t seemed SO.
But there was no mistake. The ship
ment came under the minimum rate Oh
$3.50 for 100 pounds or less.
What is the explanation? The prin-
cipal owners Of railroad stocks are
principal owners of express stocks.
The railroads force the shipment OF
small packages by express, the OK
press companies force the shipment
of heavy and bulky packages by

LET 1T BE TAUGHT.

%
In this twentieth century we OF Iowa
are hearing. among many other new
things, that agriculture IS to be taught
In the schools. That was a surprise to
some OF the older folks who had fol-
lowed the plow in the early days. who
had wrexted the farm from the timber
land or carved 1t out Of the wilder
ness. What, teach farming In the
schools? Farming was not something
to be taught in the schools. 1t was
only to be learned by taking hold OF
the pillow handles, getting busy and
keeping at it. And many there were
in the cities who took a similar view
of the matter. They never stopped to
consider that it was not intended TO
teach agriculture in the city schools.
And neither Is it the intention to make
farmers or farm hands Of the pupils in
the country schools. But there Is
vast wealth Of knowledge that can be
impaired to them that will be OF gen.
uine value to them, whether they IN
tend to spend the remainder OF their
lives on the farm OF not. And many
Of these things might as well be
taught In all the city schools. We
ought to learn more Of the friends Of
the farmer and OF the friends Of every
body who wants to see things grow,
and then again, we ought to learn
more about the enemies OF the useful
plants. There should be more general
knowledge Of weeds than exists at the
present time. and of the best means of
fighting these dangerous and ever ac-
tive enemies Of the farmer and the
gardener The birds play a very
prominent part in keeping down the
weeds by devouriug immense quanti-
ties Of the seeds OF all sorts of weeds.
But the weeds are not the worst
foes Of all those plants which man
cultivates. Even harder to combat
than the weeds are the insects of all
kinds that attempt to devour and fire.
quently do devour what man has
planted and tended with care. Here
again the birds are mans best friends,
and If they DO take a little fruit or
little grain as toll, let 1t be borne in
mind that without the birds there
would have been no grain or no fruit
OF the greatest usefulness as de-
stroyers of insects are the toads- Many
people fear them and wage relentless
war upon them But there VIII be bet
ter fruit. better crops OF all kinds,
where the toad is tolerated and en-
courag ed and permitted to keep busy
in the gardens and the fields. hunting
down the insects that are threatening
to destroy the work of the farmer and
the orchardist and the gardener. BY
all means, let the toads be encouraged
and protected.
And there is the garter snake. It
also feeds upon all sorts Of insects rs
well as upon field mice, etc, and Is
really one of the gardeners best
friends. And yet, because he is built
upon the same lines as are some Of the
dangerous snakes, he II mercilessly
hunted down and pursued. wherever
he shows himself.
II such Information really be part Of
agricultural teaching, then surely the
children in the city schools Will be bet
ter for 1t than for learning how to spell
words that they will never use and OF
which they will in all likelihood never
know the meaning.

GREEN'S OPPOSITION.

Democrats Of prominence. to whom
success In congressional district
seems . plain spiedge to a national VIC
tory next year are confidently claiming
that Cleveland will win in the Ninth
by decisive majority. Admitting free
ly that they have not the necessary
votes within their own strength they
count with certainty on heavy bolt
Of standpatters from Judge Greene
and claim: that the fiery cross OF cor
poration standpatism is being hot
footed from one standpat chief to an
other with the order to defeat Greene.
No<htng short Of united republican
support will pull Greene thru. There
IS much corrobora ton Of democratic
claims. While Greene has been classed
as q conservative but not as the ultt-
mate standpatter. He has never plead
ed Euilty to progressiveness, much less
to insurgency. It would appear that
the standpatters would get the best Of
1t In q compromise which gave them
more than half the congressman.
Perhaps the explanation may be
found in that Greene is a man Of
independent thought and action. AS
a. Judge he has not been subservient to
the timer circle. AS a congressman 1t
is to be assumed that he would repre-
sent tho district rather than a coterie.

but alleged republication

THE BRleHAM YOUNG COFFEE TRAY.

to the acceptance by the navy depart
rneY,t Of a silver service for the bat
tleshtp Utah, which has engraved on
the coffee tray an etching Of Brigham
Young, ana . view ot the Mormon
temple at Salt Lake City In the back

cency. morality and righteousness will
be outraged by the acceptances and
honored by the protection Of the flag

shame" insists the Presbyterians.
They might have added rebellion to
shame The Mormonism of Brigham
Young and his branch Of the Mormon
church is record Of shame and re-
bellion. From Nauvoo to Salt Lake
the record reads Of both II includes
murder and massacre in the past and
polygarny in the present.
The Presbyterians are right. Brig
ham Youngs etching does not belong
on the silver service OF United
States battleshfp, whatever the name
of tho ship happens to be. The Utah
is a United States vessel. The co,nph-
