Canadian Woman
Has Many Troubles

Crowded into small single seat
buggy, Mrs. Connors and four chill
dren reached Miller Monday after q
trip of six long weeks across country
from Canada. Living on homestead
in Canada with her husband and four
children and no resources was bad
enough, but imagine her plight when
the husband died, and some cold
FLOODED rascal filed contest against
her claim. She had nothing to fight
with and had to let it go. Hitching
up her one scrawny team of ponies
to light buggy,she bundled herself
and four children into it and started
Tor South Dakota. At Miller she was
helped by subscription taken upon
the street. And right here it may be
stated that this was a meritorious
case for the milk of human kindness
to flow, far and away ahead of the
professional beggars who pass along
the streets every day or two This
unfortunate family was bound for
Wheeler, where they have some rela-
tives. And-how small our little

houses. If | contribute money to any

ding for trade; if l don't they say
am a hog. Every day I am expected
to dig up for something that comes
along, from rattle ticket to a church
fund by people who say l ought to be-
cause they do their trading here. But
the mail order houses neither buy
tickets nor help the church fund and
get cash for advance business; and if
| were to circulate a subscription LIST
among the wholesale houses where I
trade, | would get a laugh proper. If
| sell pair of pants.I must treat the
family to candy, if | buy a load of
hay, ! must do the same thing. Gus.
toners who are able to pay hang on
their money, while l pay 10 per cent

The Progressive Program.

The Progressive Program.
Senator Cummins has openly stat.
ed that he is supporter of La Fol
lette for the presidency-that he be-
lieves that President Taft's renomin-
alton would prove an obstruction TO
the republican party.
Naturally, these statements have
produced commotion in Iowa, the old
standpat element having concluded
that the vigorous fight against the
system is to be continued within the
Jurisdiction of Mr.. Cummins.
1t is understood from press reports
that the LaFollette candidacy is to
be launched at Minneapolis ban
qret on the 7th of September and Mr..
Cummins is among the guests hidden
to the feast. He will probably ad-
dress himself to the subject before
the meeting and commit himself fully
to the Wisconsin man.
Senator Clapp and Senator Bever-
aiGge and Governor McGovern (of Wis.
.eonsin) are also among the invited
guests and an exceedingly progress
s.ye time is looked for.

pears to be necessary, with the pres.
ident Of the United States making
p portion of his own party the chief
object Of attack in his emanations
from the stump, and should a defen-
sive alliance expand into something
offensive, it would be but a natural
product of conditions.

MetcaIfe Will Make the Race.

Lincoln, Dec. S.-The combat be.
tween the Wilson and Harmon forces
for the Nebraska delegation to the
democratic national convention is
made keener by the formal announce
ment of Richard l.. Metcalfe, associ-
ate editor of William J. Bryan's Com
moner, that he would enter the race
for the primary nomination for gov,
ernOr.
State Senator Morehead, of Falls
City, filed Wednesday as a democratic
gubernatorial candidate, and was first
in the field.
Metcalfe's announcement is in the
form of letter to the Woodrow Will
son club, of Omaha, which previously
had pledged Metcalfe its support. The
Nebraska alignment is thus made
clear. The Bryan adherents are be-
hind Wilson and Metcalfe while the
Dahlman-Senator Hitchcock faction is
lined up for Harmon and Morehead.
The Metcalfe announcement fol-
lowed an exchange of kilograms be-
tween Bryan, who is touring the West
Indies, and his associate editor. Bryan
has steadfastly refused to indorse any
particular presidential candidate, but
students of Nebraska politics discern
in the tieup between Metcalfe and the
Omaha Woodrow Wilson club a rather
plain purpose on the part of Bryan to
eventually throw his full strength TO
the New Jersey governor.

MURDER MAY FAN FLAME.
Serious Complications Anticipated as
Result of Lorraine Crime.

Metz, Lorraine, Dec IA German

Samaine, one of the leaders Of the

maine, together with him and his
brother, were arrested for completely
in the crime.
The incident has caused great eX-
element, and the trial of the accused
may have a momentous effect in fan
ming the hostile feeling of the two
races which are always so acute in
Lorraine. Alexandra Samaine holds
a prominent name in the French
party. He was the organizer of big
demonstration in Metz on Jan. Q last,
when troops had to be called out TO
dispense the crowds who paraded the
streets singing the Marsellaise and
cheering for the republic of France.

PACKERS HAVE A FAINT HOPE.
There's Bare Possibility That Supreme
Court May Hear Arguments.

Chicago, Dec. 11.-While the routine
of examining prospective jurors in the
case Of the ten packers under indict-
ment for allegal violation of the Grim
inal provision of the Sherman anti
trust law, was scheduled to go on be-
fore Judge Carpenter today, there was
hope among the defendants that the
United States supreme court might
be heard from.
There was a possibility that the
higher court would hand down de
cision as to whether it would hear
oral arguments on the constitutional
ity of the Sherman act as petitioned
for before Judge Kohlsaat. The refu-
sal of the supreme court last Tuesday
to issue a stay in the trial was taken
as an intimation that it will review
the petition only as it comes before it
in regular form, and as consequence
little was hoped for by the defendants
on this score. Eleven men occupied
the jury box at the adjournment of the
court on Saturday, and these were ex-
pected to be set for further examina-
ton.
Five men have already been ques-
toned. Six are yet to submit them
selves to the defenses counsel. No
more than four of the eleven will be
rendered back to the prosecution, it is
believed.
