had wondered" what Harry John
son. could be shooting at that
time Of day. But Mr.. Bangs
Sid Madden might have been
mistaken, for, he said, the de-
tense had shown that Madden
was mistaken about the radiator
box in the basement under the
den. room, and Madden was a
man who was trained in the law
and supposed to be qualified to
gather facts. In regard to the
radiator box under the den Mr..
Madden had said that the box
had not been opened till after the
Anderson house had been turned
back to the possession Of Ander-
son i brother. Emil, while the de-
Tense had sent to Bismarck and
secured the steamfitter who had
worked on the heating plant in
the winter to testify that the
box had been cut open in the
winter and had been left that
way till the present time. (read-
ers Will remember that this box
was thought to be the place
where the empty cartridge might
have been thrown.
What about the testimony of
other witnesses" said Mr.. Bangs,
tesffying to matters that might
send this man to the gallows. =
!" What about the testimony of
school girls walking along the
street and engaged in their own
conversation, being able to To-
cate the sound"
HeE recalled how Mrs. Hanson,
calm, cool and collected had
thought the policeman had fired
shot near the city hall, and he
referred to the instance she had
heard her husband fire a shot
when she was in the same room.
He also recalled how Major Greg
rapidly promoted from fireman
to supervisor Of a fleet of army
transports, had said that a shot
fired under cover would sound
louder than one in the open, and
Mr.. Bangs said that had made
him think how foolish it had beer
for the telephone companies to
construct q lot Of expensive bootht
for people to talk in. :.
He then reminded the jury of
how Mrs. Axel Nelson was sit
ting in her home sewing when she
heard the shot ana while she
thought it came from a. westerly
direction towards her she had
not paid enough attention to it
to look it up, but that she did
think it had come from in behind
the houses Of Funk and Anderson
and Mr.. Bangs wondered if the

Mr.. Bangs continued to dwe1f
upon the testimony Of these

been offered by the state. He re.
viewed the testimony Of Irene

old DOG COOK
HAS FRIENDS
CLAN TO DISCOVERY OF NORTH
POLE ENLIsTs CONSIDERATION
OF GERMAN SCIENTISTS.

Berlin, Aug. 16.-Dr. Friedrich A.
Cooks claim to the discovery of the
portance to enlist the consideration
of scientific men in Germany. One of
these is Professor Otto Baschin, Gus
todian of the Geographic Institute of
the Berlin University, who, in an ar
ticle headed is Cook a Swindler?"
considers the Peary Cook controversy
at considerable length and concludes
that the evidence for Cooks truthful
ness is very strong.
The question of observations based
upon the suns altitude as a method
Of determining whether one has
reached the pole is quite unreliable.
The insuffciency of such observations,
he says, was set forth soon after the
Peary-Cook dispute arose by DR.. A.
Wedemeyer of the German Imperial
Marine Department, an experienced
astronomer and navigator, who de-
clared that the explorers diaries, so
far as observations of the suns alt-
tude were concerned, could have no
probative value. Other authorities
have since confirmed this declaration,
says Professor Baschin, and, this be-
ing so, the question as to who had
reached the pole became primarily one
of credulity, in which Peary, with
years of successful and honorable ex-
ploration to his account, naturally
came Off the better.
Professor Baschin continues: Zone
must separate this question whether
Cook reached the pole) from the Sec
ond, whether Cook, even if he can
not prove his presence at the pole, did
not attain far toward the pole and
tread hitherto unknown portions of
that part of the arctic regions. These
results of his expedition are not az
fected by the strife over the pole,
and deserve at least consideration,
whereas they are fully ignored by the
Peary adherents Little by little how
ever the number of those who believe
that Cook reached the pole is growing.

of political economy are going to pay
any attention to the very ingenious
speech of Burton. They have discount
ed Alden Smith on sugar and LaFolette
on wool.
Hence the Democrats have not en-
gagged in the debate except the lucid
analysis Of the bill by Mr. Simmons.
Now it is known of all men around
about in these diggins that John Sharp
Williams in debate can utterly CON
found all the standpatters and progress
sives on the minority side of the cham
Der, but what is the use? And so John
Sharp has said little, but as ever, that
little went straight to the point.
When Buchanan was President
Brigham Young, the head of the Nor
mon Church, was at loggerhead with
the United States and there was a state
of war, theoretically speaking. The ad-
ministration sent an army to Salt Lake
City to chastise the rebels, and the
forces were commanded by great SOL
der, even Albert Sidney Johnston. Aft
er an arduous march they arrived at
the capital of Mormonism, but instead
of meeting an armed force, Mormon
women met them with tempting foods
and many delicacies to sell. and in two
or three days they had all the money
the rank and file of the invading army
could raise. That war ought to be put
on the comic opera stage.
And there is something like it in the
senate. McCumber, Smoot, Cummins,

LIFTING A TON.
From New Orleans Item. }

(From New Orleans ltem.)
There is much good sense in the
plea made by President Joe Cook of
the Mississippi Normal College, in a
recent bulletin of the Bureau OF Edu-
cation, for more efficiency in the
country home and elimination of need
less farm drudgery.
For $3.50, he claims, an isolated farm
can install it's own waterworks, lift
ing from the shoulders of women and
children the need of carrying the water
for household purposes, and often for
amounts to a serious burden on the
strength of frail women and young
girls and boys, he demonstrates by a
calculation which gives ton day
as the quantity which an average
household will use, when the washing
is done at home.
( He shows how wasteful the present
. methods are, since the water used in
the kitchen is often lifted six times, in
/ the course of its use.
The lifting of ton a day will
take the elasticity out of wom-
ans step, the bloom out of her
cheek, and the enjoyment from
her SOUL" he justly contends.

BY Savoyard.

No longer is there the definite atti-
tude toward the Democratic tariff by
the standpatters and the Progressives
in the senate that threatened to defer
final action on the measure until "the
snow flies" next winter. There is little
doubt that the senate will pass the bill
by August Is and We may look for
agreement September I. The debate is
the dullest in third of a century. if
you can call it debate. Burton of Ohio
is the ablest man on the Republican
side. His speech vas entirely AGA
demic. He is successor of
the late John Sherman in the
senate, and. ike Sherman, he has a
heap of respect for free trade while
advocating protection Indeed. the Hon.
Burton can imagine universal free
trade as an ideal economic policy. But
like all the rest, Mr.. Burton is afeard
to allow our people to compete with
other people. and so he breaches the
idea Of American inferiority that must
be protected.
The Democrats of the senate under
the lead of Mr.. Simmons are giving the
standpatters like Smoot and the pro-
gressives like Bristow a great deal to
think about. They know the country
Is resolved TO give the Democratic
tariff fair trial. They know that even

This is only one of the ways in

one which many farmer, well able

Burton, Warren, Bristow and Lippitt |
have all fiercely assailed the Demo
cratic tariff, and they can elicit no re-
spouse from the Democratic side, or
very little, and that contemptuous.
And now for the reason, Some six
or eight weeks ago President Wilson
in his semiweekly conference with
the newspaper men made declaration
of the fact that this town was in
tested with an "insidious lobby" when
ever Congress had tariff bill on the
hooks. There was sensation. Many
in Congress were Mortified and as
severated, that no lobby had ever cross
ed their vision. Mr.. Speaker Clark got
excited and gave Congress a clean bill
of moral health.
But a committee was raised to in
vestigate and the sugar lobby was
uncovered to the gaze of an aston
ished and disguised public The peo-
pie then saw how our tariffs on sugar
had been writ by the Sugar Trust
That investigation advanced the Dem
ocratic tariff rapidly and materially.
Ere the echo of the sugar investiga-
ton had entirely lulled we had the
Mulhall disclosures And now the
people know the pattern by which the
G. o. P. cut out tariff laws. The N.
A. M.-National Association of Manu-
facturers-made the Dingley tariff and
/ the Payne-Aldrich tariff, levying in
them for their own benefit all the pro-
lection the manufacturers desired.
! They say Mulhall is a scoundrel. That
may or may not be-, but he has some
thousands of letters written him by
the N. A. NJ. and divers magnates of
the G. O. P. and thus he is corroborat-
ed.
We now know something more about
the Tariff Commission" that was to
make a scientific" tariff that was to
enable every American citizen who had
anything to sell to set an enormous
price for it, and every American citizen
who was necessitated to buy was to get
goods at a ridiculously low price We
now know that the said tariff commits
sion was named by the N. A. NJ. We al
ready knew that after spending lavish
ly of the public money that commission
reported that they didn't know any
thing about it and that it was impos
sible for any commission to find out
anything about it,
Any yet great statesmen insist that
Congress shall abdicate its constitu.
tional duty to enact tariffs, and
create a commission to perform the
job. That was in both the Republican
and Bull Moose platforms last year.
One good thing-there is no insidious
lobby here now. 1t has vanished and
for the first time in half century it
is dissolved. That of itself would
praise the Wilson administration to
everlasting fame.

COW that merely pays for her feed
because of the fertility she returns to
the soil is no reason why we should
not keep a good COW.
A good COW will bring us just as
much fertilizer, VIII cost very little
more to keep, will bring the owner
much larger net return. The same is
true of good beef, and good hogs. and
good poultry We cannot afford to
waste time and money on poor stock,
for the best is none too profitable
The buyer of pure bred live stock
must get away from the idea that
really good registered animals may
be wisely sold for the market price
of beef pork or mutton. Breeders
complain that a large number OF
their inquiries are for S75 bulls or for
$40 cows Such are plain scrub stock
prices.
Oftentimes the breeder has a scrub
pure-bred on hand, and the tempta
tion to sell is great, so he puts on
price a little in excess of the stock
yards valuation, and ends up by ship
ping the animal and mailing the pedi
gree. The buyer thinks that because
he is getting a pure-bred he is getting
d superior animal, when the chances
are that the best of his stuff at home
is better. Naturally. he becomes dis,
satisfied in time, and tells his neigh
bors. Thus prejudice grows
Blood lines mean nothing unless ac-
companied by superior individuality.
/ The breeder has a heavy investment.
His advertising charges, his showing,
the extra care and attention he must
give the high-class stock make it nee
essary for him to charge prices which
seem unduly high to many of us; but
which are really low when the value
of their good stock as sires is con-
sidered
They cannot breed high-class pure
bred stock merely for fun. The cas-
trating knife should be used more
than it is; but so long as the farmer
asks for pure-breds at an advance of
a few dollars over the cost of grades.
some breeders will continue to supply
them. to the detriment of themselves,
the buyer, the breed and of the whole
live stock business. A scrub pure-bred
causes more damage than grade and
SIS mature bulls cannot be anything
more than scrubs.
