DR.. Hemphill's Pies Heard.

Montgomery City, Mo-. March 80
Circuit Judge B. D. Dyer Of the
new Thirty-sixth District has heard
the plea in bar in the case of DR..
w. A. HeInphill, who was sentenced
to two years in the Penitentiary for
performing an operation on Miss
Elizabeth Gleason, sent to him by
Rev. Clyde Cow. now serving four
years in the Penitentiary for the
death of the girl. Judge Dyer will
consider the motion and give his
decision at the coming term of the
Circuit Court at Troy.
The attorneys for DR.. Hemphill
in arguing their motion. claimed
that Hemphill has already been
jeopardized once, and that the jury.
in considering the two courts in the
Indictment. failed to find him guilty
on one. and that the other court
was found faulty. because the suf-
fiency of the statutes dealing with
such operations as performed by Dr.
Hemphill was not pleaded and that,
therefore. the defendent could not
lawfully be tried again.
DR.. Hemphill has moved from St.
Louis back to Elsberry.

The Depth of the OceaA.

More than half the surface of the
globe is hidden beneath water two
miles deep; 100000 square miles
lie at a depth of 1900 feet or more.
Many places have been found five
miles and more in depth. The great
est depth yet sounded is 81. 800 feet,
near the Island of Guam.

highest mountain, says an exchange,

dropped into this spot, the waves
would still roll 1000 feet above its
crest.
Into this terrible abyss the wat
ers press down with a force of more
than ten thousand pounds to the
square inch. The stanchest ship
ever built would be crumbled under
this awful pressure like an egg shell
under a steam roller.
A pine beam fifteen feet long
which held in a cast at a depth Of
more than eighteen thousand feet
was crushed flat as if it had been
passed between rollers.
The body of a man who should
attempt to venture to such depths
would be compressed until the flesh
was forced into the interstices o.

larger than a rolling pin. Still, thu

GENE BUSH LOOKS
FOR LOST BROTHER

Gene Bush, one of the best known
characters of Hood River, who has
met the trains here as a porter for the
different hotels for the past 10 years,
is looking for long lost brother, John
Bush, from whom none of his relatives
have heard for 20 years. Another of
Genes brothers recently died in Port
land, leaving an estate of about So, 500,
to which Gene and the lost brother, if
he is still living, are the only heirs.
A search has been made for the
brother. but so far of no avail.
Gene thinks that the missing brother
is in Texas. He states that he left the
northwest for that section of country
in the COS. Gene Bush, because of his
connections, is well known figure to
the travelling men, who make this ter
ritory.

PIONEER SCALPLOCKS
ARE UNEARTHED

A special from Sites, Idaho, says:
Two more skeletons of Indians long
since dead have been dug up near
where the grave of the ancient chief
was exhumed by woI king men en-
ployed in the construction of the new
road up Cottonwood canyon. about one
mile southwest Of Sites. These other
two were evidently not chiefs, as none
of the regalia, trinkets or other insig-
MIA of rank were found buried with
them, but one reason for this dearth of
relics may be the probable fact that
the skeletons, through several genera
tions, had slid down with the loose
slide rock at the base of which they
were buried in the lonely canyon.
Dangling in parchment-like tatters
at the belt of one of the defunct red
skins were six human scalps, recog-
nized as those of white men by the
color of their hair. 1t is believed here
that these scalps were taken from the
hardy pioneers; unknown, unwept and
unsung; who ventured into the wilder
ness of the great west long before
actual settlers invaded these parts.
Certain it is that the scaps were
taken, and the Indians sepuchered
years before the Nez Perez war of
1877.

CASTNER CONDUCTS
PACKING SCHOOL

Great interest has been shown in the
two weeks packing school just com
pleted at Massachusetts Agricultural
college. This novel school was planned
and managed by Prof F. c. Sears, head
of the department of pomology. ms
truction in packing in boxes was given
by John Castner, of Hood River, Ore,
who spent the past apple season in
New England, packing apples and dem
onsrtating apple packing at the New
England. Fruit Show, and at various
other horticultural meetings.
The packing school was limited to 40.
This registration was quickly reached,
with applicants turned away, in spite
of the fee of ten dollars which it was
necessary to charge to cover the ex
penses OF instruction and of material
used. Among the students were some
of the leading fruit growers and
orchard owners of the state.
The boxes used were all of the regu-
lation Hood River size and shape, of
dimensions l0ax1l4xl8 inches. The
fruit was grown in the college orch
ards. All the various packs were il
lustrated and practiced by the stu
dents, who were taught the best
methods of sorting apples quickly and
accurately how to choose the style of
pack best suited to various sized APP
pies, and how to turn out a pack that
should be faultless in alignment, bulge,
heights of ends, uniformity and COM
pactness.
One or two lessons were given in
barrel packing, and the packing exer-
cises were diversified with program
of valuable lectures on the growing
and marketing of fruit, and by round
table discussions of orchard matters.
The members of the school organized
themselves into class, chose officers
and raised fund to purchase plate
