TWO LINES OF
DEFENCE MADE:
Attorney Says That They Could
Prove Defendant Did Not Strike
or Struck In Self
Defense.
SHARP fRIAL GOES on
Many Witnesses Are Called But Few
Are Able to Give Direct
Information on
Case.

Two lines of defense were an
nounced by Attorney T., NJ. Ralhnger
in the case of Willard Sharp, accused
Of assault with intent to murder Ed
ward Wood, now on trial in the dis
.trict court He stated that the de-
tense could prove, first that Sharp
did not do it. and secondly, that If he
did do it. he acted in self defense.
In making the opening statement
for the state, 3, w. McManus stated
that they would prove that Sharp did
assault Wood on the night in ques.
ton and that he did SO with inten,
to murder.
The state opened the case with
their witnesses this morning, putting
| Wood on the stand He told the story
of how he was assaulted by Sharp in
the alley behind the canning factory
His wife was put on the stand to cor
roborate his testimony and she also
swore that she saw Sharp do it.
| Miss Nora Inman was later called
| for the state and she said that she
saw three men evidently quarreline
and fighting with Wood and that she
saw him struck with something. She
said that she heard th>, statement
made that they would get Wood il il
took hundred years" When asked
what she did after the blow was
struck, she said Why, everybody ran
and ran too
The state did not finish introduc
ing its evidence this morning and
continued at 200 o'clock. The de.
Tense has severa. witnesses to intro
duce and the case may take all day
tomorrow.

The Consumers Duty.

The consumer should have a proper
place for the milk man to deliver the
milk A shelf elevated where cats and
dogs cannot reach it. Very recently
saw cat lick the top of a milk
bottle standing on a porch step. Cats
and flies are equally filthy and unsan-
itary Fourth, don't let the milk bot
tie sit on the porch for hours and ex-
pect the milk to be sweet Fifth,
wash the bottle very carefully with
cold water before putting it on the ice,
BE sure that all the dust is washed
from the cap. BY holding the bottle
up to the light you can see for your
self whether or not there is sedi.
ment in the bottom of the bottle. One
thing that no one should ever do is
to take milk bottle into sick room
Diseases are transmitted from one
family to another by that very prac-
tice. Remember this that it is the
consumer and not the milk man who
decides what quality milk shall be
delivered at your door

cream shall be made of fresh cream

Inspector Flynn Thinks That If Mild
Weather Continues Until Christ
mas We Can Eat Eggs
This Winter.


A stereopticon lecture was given in
the assembly room of the high school
last night by Prof. j. R. Chittick, of
Des Moines. chemist for the state
food and dairy department OF Iowa and
by DR.. o. P. Thompson, state milk in
spector.
Professor Chittick spoke on general
pure food topics, while DR.. Thompson
confined his talk to pure milk Both
talks were of the greatest interest,
and were full OF information and
suggestion to the consumer.
/ Pure Food Law.
i Professor Chittick in the beginning
gave a brief history of the pure food
law. Our state laws were enacted in
1905, the bill being introduced by
Senator Newberry of Strawberry
Point. In Iowa we have seven pure
food inspectors, Mr.. Flynn of Burling-
ton being our district inspector. We
have two classes of pure food laws
misbranding and adulteration laws,
we also have law on weights and
measures, which is our best food law
when 1T comes to enforcement.
A number of slides were thrown on
the screen, illustrating how articles
are misbranded in violation of the
law, as for example, an oil which is
sold for olive oil and is really cotton
Iseed oil will have 1t so stated on the
bottle but the words cotton seed oil
lis in very small type, while olive o..
is in large type. Some makers of
cotton seed oil have French labels on
them stating that it is cotton seed oil
but not all housekeepers are French
scholars. All such labels are now for
hidden by law.

CITY Water Supply.

DR.. Thompson said in part: only
the city water supply is of more i'm
portance than the milk supply. The
milk mans life is hard life and an
exacting life. He must be on time,
265 days in the year. There are some
things that the consumers can do to
help the milk supply. First, don't
buy milk from man who is personal
ly dirty. If he won't keep himself
clean he won't deliver clean milk to
you. Second, city can have any
kind of milk it wishes if it will only
stand up for its rights. No consum-
er can buy milk and expect good milk
for less than 1-3c a quart, that ought
to get good bottled milk. Bulk milk
is obsolete.

 A striking example of what may be done with the waste of zinc and lead mines has been demonstrated in the construction of the new union station at Joplin. Mo-, the concrete of which Is largely made up of flint and lime stone tailings taken from the waste piles of the mines of the district. Of the P parts in the concrete mixture used in constructing the station, 15 parts came from the mines, 10 parts being average tailings and 5 parts the fine tailings from the sand jigs. called Chitwood sand. Of the remaining seven parts. three were of river sand and four of cement.
 The center of portion of the station, built in the old Roman type of archi. lecture. is two stories high. The train sheds and platforms cover 25,O0O square feet.-Popular Mechanics.

With railway traffic ever on the in. crease and timber for ties becoming ever scarcer. the problem of keeping our railroads supplied with suitable ties is one of the biggest that rail road management has to face. Our railroads wear out upward of 15O, ,0OO.- 900 ties year. and as they cost on an average 50 cents apiece the bill runs up pretty high. Hardwood ties, ot course, last much longer than soft wood, but they are also much more expensive.
