INTEREST IN RICH FARMER

Lincoln Center, Kan, Nov. 15.---
An admission OF guilt in the tar
party case came today. Edward
Ricord, the Beverly barber, ad-
mitted that he deeoyed Miss Mary
Chamberlain, the school teachev, to
point near Shady Bend, where she
was tarred Oct Z last He asked
that he be taken Immediately be-
fore Judge Glover and be permitted
to plead guilty. This was done. SEN
tence was suspended however until
after the trial of the other accused
men.
Rlcord has been In Jail for the last
three months awaiting action on
an appeal from justice court SEN
tence of one year for completely in
the attack on Miss Chamberlain. He
was the first man arrested In con-
nection with the case. 1t is alleged
he was given SIS for his part in the
affair.
According to Niles Chamberlain
she accompanied Ricord on the night
of the attack under the impression
that he was taking her to a dance
Ricord expects leniency as result
of his confession.
Prejudice Alleged.
Many witnesses are to be sealled
tomorrow. Among them are several
newspaper men. The defense asserts
that many newspaper reports Of the
affair wre highly colored and this
tended to prejudice Ahe- public mind
against Everett Clark accused of
leading the attack on Miss Chamber
lain. 1t Is further charged that
Prosecutor McCanless forced Edward
Rieord to give reporter, an inter-
view, bringing the 'prisonef from the
Jail late at night for that purpose.
Opinion is divided as to how long
it will take to obtain jury in this
county should motion for change
of venue be overruled.
Interest In the case centers about
Clark, who is wealthy and inf,u-
entail. 1t is generally regarded
that the fate of the eight other
defendants who are less widely
known than Clarke will depend upon
the outcome of mis- case.

Mr. Boggs-do you know him?
Well, yesterday he went and hough,
q fine, big, fat pullet, and after
placing said pullet in the Bed of his
buggy, he stepped into store a,
the corner Of Eighth street and Com.
mercial avenue to get some change
and when he returned with the said
change, the said pullet was missing
Mr.. Boggs reported the matter tc
The Bulletin and be advances two
theories. First, he says 1t might be
that some gentleman of color, wit.
messed the transaction and saw him
go into tho store after the change
Taking advantage of his temporary
advantage, the gentleman OF color
may have spoken honeyed words into
the cars OF the lady hen and lured
her away.
His other theory is that some
friend or friends took the pulIet In
oruer 10 "rile him, and confidential
ly, Mr. Boggs has reasons to hope
the latter theory is correct.
1T was the finest, fattest, sleekesi
looking pulIet ever laid my hands

Chicago Prose :utcr Tells The Quiz
zers That Confessed Bribe-
taker Was Corroboratcd
ON STAND NEARLY ALL DAY
Lorimer Committee Will Hear
Same Witness Again At
Session Today

Chicago, Nov. 15.-As soon as
Charles A. Whites confession tha,
he accepted a bribe to vote for
Lorimer as United States Senator was
made known to him. States Attorney
Wayman Of Cook county prepared at
once to intcrrogate all those involved
BY White "on the grounds that the
witness first stand Is the best one
against him, il he is guilty"
The investigation conducted in
April, 1910, prior to the publication
of the confession convinced Wayman
that Whites statements were amply
corroborated.
Wayman so testified before the
Lorimer's election investigating
committee today.
The witness who was on the stand
almost the entire day went into de.
tails concerning his connection with
the prosecution which arose out OF
the White confession and resulted in
the charges OF bribery and corruption
in the Lorimer election.
Question of Venue
Cross examined by Elbridge
Hanecy,. counsel for Lorimer, Way
man was asked about the question
of venue or in what jurisdiction the
prosecution against Lee O'Neil
Browne could be properly brought.
Browne was accused in the confess
sion as having entered into the
bribery arrangements in Springfield
and having paid some of the money
In Cook county. On this ground
Wayman said he was justified on
starting prosecution in this county.
Concerning his first impression oil
the White confession, Wayman said
he saw many difficulties The chance
OF prosecution under 1t was discount
ed 90 per cent by the fact that White
was an arcomplice and 80 per cent
by the fact that the confession wac
purchased which left only 20 per
cent chances of successful prosecu-
tions
Later. however, he declared the
confession was amply corroborated.
He Is to be further examined tomor-
row.

There is a general feeling that Ruer

stead of using starch to stiffen them,
a little milk will answer the pur-
pose and make them creamy In color
il so desired.
If a window is desired clouded,
apply a strong solution of EPSON
salts mixed with vinegar. This
gives beautiful frosted appearance

Use a little yaseline TO rub over

When there are several pieces of
