opinion that Spencer had the ability
to distinguish between right and

He considered Spencer Mental de-
fective" and said that usually where
mental growth was stunted there was
q corresponding stuuting of moral
growth. He was unable, however. ne
said, thoroughly TO satisfy himself as
TO sSpencer's mental condition, but he
believed that Spencer had been honest
in his alleged confession, and in his
talks with witness. He was satisfied
that the defendant was not feigning
insanity.
Spencer's mother was called again,
today, and with man with whom
Spencer had robbed. told of some OF
the trifiing articles which had been
stolen, the evident intention of the de-
fence being to atten pit to show that
this indicated an ulsound mind on the
part of Spencer.
A deposition from DIR. y. L. Drake

day, told of Spencer's attempt at sui

In another deposition, from Mrs.
Anita A. Markham of Oakland, Calf,

queer acts of Spencer when he was
living in Oakland, in 1904 and 1905,
were described. A letter from Spen-
Ger to Mrs. Markham. written after
his arrest on the murder charge, also
was read. Spencer wept as a portion
of the letter was rec ched in which he
had written of mis- love for his moth

the only time during the day that
Spencer exhibited strong emotion.

KANSAS WHEAT 75,OOO,OOO Blu.
MilIers Make an Estimate Of the
Coming Crop.

"The best guess on the coming
wheat crop of Kansas is 100000
bushels" said E. v. Hoffman of the
Hoffman Milling Co., Enterprise, who
was in the city last evening. Il was
at a meeting of millers in Wichita
last week and the state was well
represented and while the western
counties are showing poor outlook
central Kansas will have big crop
according to present conditions. The
best estimate OF the millers was that
the yield would be 100000 bush
els. Oklahoma promises about TO-
900, 900 bushels and Nebraska about
10000, 900. Oklahoma is in poor
condition, the government on April
list giving 1t a percentage Of 30 while
Kansas was put at 70. In view OF
the general wheat crop outlook OF
the world there is little encourage
ment for high prices. Most of the
millers think the price at harvest
time will run somewhere between 81
and rs cents"

NO SODA FOUNTAINS ON
UNION PACIFIC TRAINS

That the arrangement to place soda
fountains on the trains of the Union
Pacific railroad was false report
was made evident by circular let
ter sent out by Gerrit Fort, passen'
ger traffic manager of that road, tc
the passenger agents at each point
on the road.
The report that soda fountains
would be placed on the trains OF the
Union Pacific was sent out from
Omaha several days ago. s. H. Paul
passenger agent for the Union Pacific
in Abilene received letter from
Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic agent
at Omaha, yesterday, which read:
Omaha, Neb., April 10, Dear Sir;
In response to your inquiry con-
corning the alleged arrangement to
place soda fountains Of our trains;
THE story in question is absolute
ly without foundation, and had Its
origin in the fertile brain of an
Omaha reporter who was short oil
news on the day in which the story
was printed. Yours truly. Gerri'

THE PROGRESSIVES EXPLAIN
GIVE THEIR REASON FOR oPPosl
TIoN TO RECIPROCITY.
Tariff Reduction Does Not Go Fai
Enough So Jain With Those
Who Think It Goes Too Far.

Washington, April 25.-The pro
gressive Republican congressman VIII,
voted against the Canadian reciprocit.
agreement last Friday resent the sug
gestion that their opposition to tn,
measure was inspired by a desire t.
embarrass President Taft. Here IL
the position taken Dy men like Len
root of Wisconsin, Jackson Of Kansai
and Prouty Of Iowa:
That the Canadian bill removes the
tariff from farm products without In any
way injuring the manufacturers. They
point out that -four is protected by 6
duty Of fifty cents per barrel, while wheat
Is placed on the free list
That the refusal Of the Democrats "a
permit them to amend the bill practically
destroyed every chance to secure free
lumber, free meat or free list OF any
kind other than that included In the
treaty, because they regard 1t as impos-
sIble for the free list" bill, proposed BY
the House, to pass the Senate.
In the treaty bill could have been
amended to include free list, such az
free lumber, free agricultural implements,
etc, the progressive Republicans assert
that the President would have been forced
to sign it and the United States would
have had free trade with Canada not
only in those things the farmer has for
sale, but in the things the farmer has to
buy.
The progressives who opposed the
Canadian Bill feel that their position
on the question has been misunder
stood and misrepresented. They ap
preciate, they say, the embarrassing
situation in which they were placed
by fighting against the bill because II
does not go far enough in the way OF
tariff reductions, along with the high
tariff Republicans like Dalzell and
Cannon and Fordney, who opposed the
measure because it reduced the tariff

ANOTHER TRAIN IN SIGHT.


The gossip continues that the Union
Pacific will put on a fast mail train
soon between Kansas City and Dem
yer. This train will make close con-
nections with the mail train from
the East, and thus be to the North
and western part Of the state what
the Santa Fe mail train Is to the
southern part Of the state.
The train will run, according to
the rumors, over the main line Union
Pacific tracks from Kansas City to
SaIlna and then over the branch to
Colby. At Colby the train will trans
fer to the Rock Island tracks and
run into Denver over these. This
route will do away with the heavy
grades on the main line. The grade
on the branch is more gradual than
that OF the main line. There are no
steep hills like those at Ellsworth
and farther west.
These trains will be the heaviest
run on the Kansas division OF the
Union Pacific. Besides the mail cars
they will carry only Pullmans and
an observation car. The train will
carry all of the through night mail
which trains No. 1O1 and 1902. the
Denver-St. Louis trains now carry
and these trains will be run on a
faster schedule,
The towns on the Colby branch
have for long time been wanting
better train service. The passenger
trains which are run on the branch
now are on a very slow schedule and
the accommodations are poor. There
are no sleeping cars on the branch
and when passengers start either
travelling from the west end Of the
branch or to the west end they have
to remain up all night in stuffy day

TOUGH ON THE DAGoEs' BREAI
Stuffed in Gunnysacks and Thrown
Around on Ground.

Happen down to the U. P. station
almost any day and watch the front
end of the train and you will notice
a dozen or more big gunnysacks
thrown off on the ground. The sacks
are full Of hard round loaFes OF
bread consigned 10 some italian la
boring gang along the road. The
sacks are often full Of holes and
the bread shows through. The train
men kick 1t around and the passerby
seems to have little respect for It.
It lies on the ground where people
tramp around and IA given no more
care than bales or bay for cattle.

FHREMEN RAISE A KICK.
reople Are Too Careless in Sending
in Alarms.

I'VE firemen get knocked on con-
tinually because we do not get to
the fire sooner" said Fire Marshal
Hauserman today. I'VE should not
DO censured too much because II
b not entirely our fault. After two
years Of instructions the citizens OF
Abilene send in the fire alarms with
out giving the name of the street
or the number of the house. We DO
not leave the fire department until
we locate the fire. This takes time,
but It would take US longer to go
ont and hunt up the fire. All we
need to know is the street and num-
Der Of the house and then we can get
out in a hurry. 1t is a protection
to the people themselves but they
do not seem to realize 1t.
"The firemen also are greatly him
dered in their work by the crowds
that gather about the fire. People
are continually in their road and
they can not do justice to their work.
When the fire alarm is turn In peo-
ple arrive at the fire before the fire
men get there. They open the doors
and windows in an endeaYpr to save
some Of the household goods. In
this way good draft is formed
throughout the house and the flames
can get a good start on the fire
men.
awe cannot fight fire." con-
finued Mr.. Hauserman, with a crowd
OF people in our way. AT the last
fire the street was jammed with
buggies and automobiles and we
could not make fast time through
such a mob. The firemen under
stand their work but when outsiders
butt in It makes 1t ten times harder
for us. We get the blame for the
damage these other people do"

WILD GEESE CAMP IN NEW YORK
They Are Protected by Game Laws
and are Menace to Farmers
Crops.

Dunkirk, N. Y, April 25.-Farmers
in Western New York who lost thou
sands of dollars on their corn crop
last year because of unreasonable
snowstorms, will have an even poorer
yield this year, owing to the depreda-
lions of countless focks of wild geese.
The birds are protected by the game
laws and there appears to be nothing
that the farmers can do.
Not in fifty years have the wild
geese been so numerous. By tens Of
thousands they are camped in the
swamps and alogg the banks Of lakes.
