Self Confessed Murder.

Pensacola, Fla. April Seth
Nichols, the sailor who told the police
of Portsmouth, N. H., Monday that
he killed DR.. Helen Knabe at Indian
apolis, October %, last, was on board
the United States cruiser Dixie the
day of the murder.
This information, which brands
Nichols confession" as untrue was
received here by wireless from the
commander of the Dixie, which is
engaged in target practice in the gulf
Boston, April 3.-Police officials of Bos-
ton and Portsmouth, n. H, were mo1
confident today that Seth Nichols declar-
alton that he murdered Dr. Helen Knabe
of Indianapolis for $3.50 is an untruth
1t has developed that Nichols has resided
in this city, that his bride of six months
died here few weeks ago and that he is
wanted by the local police on a charge
of burglary.
..Seth's statement that he murdered DR..
Knabe Is the product of a brain crazed

JOST WINS in K. C.
He Has Plurality of 1860 Votes Over
Brown.

Kansas City, Mo-. April 3.-Final
tabulation of the unofficial returns
gives Jost a plurality of $500 votes
over Brown. The vote is very close
on three or four members of the lower
house of the council and the Demo-
Gratis are claiming every office. 1t is
conceded that the Republicans will
not elect more than four councilmen.
The defeat of Mayor Brown is at
tributed to a number of conditions,
especially his advocacy of municipal
ownership, and his civil service poll
cies. Jost is a young man and has
risen from a waif of the streets. Senti-
ment was gained by making his life
story prominent in Inc campaign.
Wards in the residence district that
had been regarded as Brown strong
holds gave majorities much smaller
than had been looked for by the may

STANDS 20 TO 8.
Taft Has a Big Lead in the Indiana
Delegations.

Warsaw, Ind, April 3.-The real
test of strength between the Taft and
Roosevelt forces in the Thirteenth dis
trict Republican convention came in
the selection of a permanent chairman,
Archie Graham, of South Bend, a Taft
man, winning the seat by half a vote.
With this slight lead. the convention
chose Clement Studebaker of South
Bend and Maurice Fox of Laporte
delegates to the national convention
After adjournment the Roosevelt
delegates organized and selected P. L
Judkins of EIkhart and Fred L. Kel-
Ter of South Send as national dele
gates
The contest will be carried to Chi
cago.
In the regular conventions so far
Taft delegates chosen total twenty and
Roosevelt delegates eight. The Twelfth
district convention. the last to be held,
will meet at Auburn on April %. An
other close contest is expected.

T. R. WINS COUNTY.
Taft Gets Only 43 Out of 112 Dele
gates in jefferson County.

Oskaloosa, Kan. April 3.-Jefferson
county went for Roosevelt in Tues
days primaries, Taft getting only AZ
delegates out of 112. In Oskaloosa
and Nortonville Taft men were elect
ed and in many other places the vote
was close but Roosevelt men had
enough to win. The majority given
th. various delegates was small. Taft
winning in one precinct at Valley
Falls by vote and losing another by
IL votes.
The county was lost to Taft by
lack of work on the part of the Taft
men. Confident of victory they made
no organized effort to stop the Roose-
Welt forces A few hours work in
certain sections of the country, Roose-
Welt men admit today, would have
changed the result of the election.

Mr.. Priddy continued: 81 know OF
one Grangeville farmer who this past
harvest saved 5000 by using one OF
these Moscow machines. This is $50
month, more cash than he could
earn at any kind of work he can do.
1t is enough to keep his family all
the year. And yet he earned it in
twenty days, just doing nothing but
harvest his own crop with a machine
that enabled him to do the work for a
dollar an acre as against the old meth
DDS that cost four or five times that
amount"
Mr.. Priddy said he was delighted
with the machine being turned out by
the company this year; that it was
far the best yet, and he expected great
things from it. He said he had so
much confidence in the success of
this invention that he was putting in
all he could in the stock, saying he
could not see how it could prove any
thing but a big, profitable business.
Mr.. Priddy left last night for his
home.
