stating that Governor John Burke had
called her up by telephone with ref
erence to the deposition and that she
had made mistake in the deNosition,
asking that he be allowed to change 1t
to June. Miss Shulze states that
such permission was not granted.
Mr.. Jordals inference on the cOndi-
ton of the deposition as presented to
the committee was that it had been
tempered with after leaving Miss
Shulze's hands. The handwriting In
which the word June" appears had
been recognized by some persons, he
said, but he made no statement as to
who had made the change.
This was the conclusion of the pro-
secution's evidence and the hour OF 2

Mr.. Jordal then commenced the re-
cital Of evidence introduced for the
defendant. Attorney John Samson was
the first witness and in his testimony
declared that he had been acquainted
with Judge Cowan, and that so tar as
he knew the judge was not guilty OF the
charges of drunkenness preferred.
Wyman, who had known Cowan
twenty-five years, had never seen him
intoxicated, but he knew that he drank.
He also testified with reference to the
Fitzgerald testimony, declaring it to be
worthless, while he also gave evidence
as to "Frankie's" place.
F. c. Rising, who had known Cowan
ten years, had drank with the judge,
but that he was not considered drink |
ing man. Several other witnesses tes-
tilted along that line /
Judge Cowan had been on the stand
before the committee an entire day. !
The committee had taken Judge Cow.
ans own physical appearance as one of
the best evidences against the charge
of drunkenness. He explained the de- |
lay in cases at length, denied the charge
that he had been drunk on certain &C.
casion in Lakota and that he had not
seen Attorney Scott Rex there.
The judge admitted that he had
drank liquor in Ness drug store, but
had never bought any and had not paid
for any. He denied knowledge of a
pig" in the basement of the Wander
hoef hotel and admitted that he had
drank liquor at picnics and slippers.

WRITE TO MOTHER.

Bert Walker has come to the aid
Of mother in her desire to hear from
her boy more frequently: 81 saw a
whitehaired mother 90 to the post
office the other day and ask for her
mail, said he. There was a tremor
Of expectancy in her voice. Nothing
for her. She turned away rather
slowly and sadly wendell her way
homeward. I guess Willie is too busy
70 write she told a neighbor. She
went again and again for two long
weeks before the letter came. When
1t was handed her the faded eyes
sparkled, and joy lit up the careworn
face as she tore open the letter. It
was a brief one, but it told her what
she wanted 10 know. Willie was well
and getting along all right. There
was happiness in mothers heart that
day and she hummed an old song Of
her girlhood hours as she went about
her humble home. Willie can find
only enough time to write a few lines
to mother but once in two months.
But he has plenty of it in which to
write three or four long letters to
girls several times a week. II motha
IS so happy over receiving a few brief
lines every two months how would 1t
be IL Willie could find time to write
her long letter once a month and
occasionally send her few flowers
or some little keepsake? Willie does
MT mean II, but he is SO careless.
So are many ofthe boys-when moth
e. Is the issue-and the lonely hours
and silent tears because Of it,

Charley Bacon was out at his farm
southwest of town one day this
week, and says the wheat out that
way is looking fine. That s the kind
of news We all like to hear, and 1t
even made Charley, for the time be-
ing, forgot the bad case of neuralgia
that has been keeping him company
for several weeks past. But it takes
a whole lot more than a little thing
like that to make a crouch out Of
Charley, anyway.

ports about all the country they Wis
lied as being flooded with rain, SO
much that in many places It is i'm.
possible for the farmers to get into
their fields. He says the wheat all
over the country, from Halstead on
east is looking as fine as he ever
saw it, and that the present pros
poets for an excellent wheat crop in
the sections east OF here could moi
be better. Mr.. Musil attended the
Farmers National Congress in Col

MARKET LETTER.
Cattle Held Steady-Hog Supply the
Largest for Months.

Kansas City, Oct. 3O-The punish
nlent measured out to middle class
killing steers, and to butcher stuff
last week. had the effect of cutting
down todayis supply Of cattle several
thousand head from recent Monday
totals. receipts today stopping
at $1,000 head. Steers formerly worth /
$500 lost 25 to 50 cents last week, ,
COWS declined almost as much, calves !
lost % TO 50 cents, and low grade !
stockers and feeders closed 10 to Is
lower Prime cattle sold firm, tops
standing at 1855, highest price since
November, 1909. Low priced killing
steers also held about steady. Old
Mexicos selling al $40 to $40,
same as in other weeks this month.
Bulls held steady, almost any bull
bringing $3.50, and prime killers up
to $3.50. The market today ex-
hibits a sharp recovery from the low
spot last week, practically everything
showing an appreciation Of 10 to Is
cents. and the trade active. Kansas
pastured steers brought s775 today,
bulk of the fair to good native grass
steers at $500 to $3.50. A good man!
cattle from Kansas pastures have
gone on feed for a short term, own
en expecting to put them on the
market at the psychological moment
within the next few weeks. Should
that moment arrive in this time. Il
1t doesn't the owners will have TO &C
cept heir losses. More stock an(
feeding cattle went out last weel
than any week before this season
nearly $4,000 head, and prices paiC
were as reasonable as at any time
Dealers say they will not be as cheal
again this season. Sales of this clas
are 10 to Is higher today, plain year
lings at $4.25, good 10 choice stock
. ers $4.75 TO $40, best feeders SAT-
10 $3.50, half finished steers up Il
$500. Calves bring up TO $7.25. Quar-
antine offerings lack quality, AM
prices have, suffered in the last weel
though the market on them is strong
er today, steers at 1915 to $500.
The. hog supply here last week wa.
$4,000 head, largest for seveEa
months. Receipts at all points arr
increasing, and the market is 10 II
% lower than week ago. The ruI
today is 5000 head here, prices ;
shade higher top $685., light hog
Sj.75 to 1925. Three fourths of tht
receipts are light weights, under 2Ol
pounds, and that kind SELLS the cheaJ
est. Pigs are especially numerous t.
day, and are selling 10 10 % lower
at $425 TO $500. A load of 131 heaC
: Of So pound smooth pigs sold at S4.5C
today, plainly a sacrifice. Cholera
fear and a lack of corn, are giveI
as reasons for the appearance of 81
many pigs at the markets.
I Arrivals of sheep and lambs las
) week were again close 10 the record
: at $4,000 head. The market held VI
good, for the reason that country de
mand is strong enough TO take thu
) bulk of the supply, and the number
|, left is not bU'densOme for the killers
| Run is $1,000 today, market strong
top lambs $3.50. Feeding lambs may
be had at $40 10 $40, feeding weth
, ers around 1925, stock and breeding
ewes at any price from $1.75 to 1915
