the only imaginable reason for bring
ing the accusation of ritual murder
against the man Beiliss is to incite
ignorant fanaticism to further perse-
cution of the Jews in Russia, and for
the fact that his conviction of the
crime charged would have this effect,
what is now going on in Kieff could
be dismissed as a sorry farce.
OF course Russia itself, not Beiliss,
is the real defendant, for only in that
country, and in parts Of a few others,
does there still linger among the ut

the accusation against the unfortu-

FARM HOME CoNNENIENCEs.

Onr of h tendencies of modern

tendency cannot exist with the con-

will necessarily result in raising the

to make it a more desirable place of

more attractive. and more attention

on the right basis. The thing works
both ways.
Farmers who are planning reason

permanent heating plant is as easy to

excellent in it's results in the farm
house as in the City. A few sacks of

A Kansas man lost his Winchester
rifle and advertised for it 10 the local
paper. The finder saw the ad and
brought the rifle to the editor, who
started out to deliver the weapon to
its owner. His delinquent subscribers
got 1t into their heads that the editor
was on the warpath and everyone he
met insisted on paying up all he owed.
One man hastily wiped out a debt Of
ten years standing. When the editor
got back to his office he found load

bushels OF potatoes, a load OF wood and
a barrel OF turnips that had been paid

In Justice Court

Two interesting cases were tried be-
fore Justice Olmstead this week, the
fret being q sort of three cornered suit
in which F. G. Adams, the we'll known
auctioneer, and Hans Peters and @.
H. Bowers figured. 1t seems that
Adams had judgment against Peters
and when the latter held his public
sale ON the 9th inst. he garnisheed A.
r. Widick, clerk of the sale, ic order
to secure his claim. Before the sale
was over, however, MIR. Bowers ap-
peared on the grounds and took verbal
possession of the goods offered, stat
ing that he held a mortgage on the
same. Justice Oimstead gave judg-
meut in favor of Adams and Bowers
will appeal the matter to the county
court.
The other case was that of Frye <
McNulty, the auctioneers, who claimed
com pensation from C. H. Bowers for
disposing Of a portion OF the Fluke x
Son stock at Sugar City recently.
The original agreement was that they
we're to receive per cent for their
wuIk, but as Bowers subsequently, dis
posed of lump lots purchased by meu-
chants in Sugar City and elsewhere
new agreement was made on the basis
of 50 an hour. Then Bowers disposed
of the entire stock to A. d. Coon and
the auctioueers sued for $l75, the
balance claimed to be due. The JUS
tice gave plaintiffs judgment by de-
fault, but the case may be carried to =
