Robert B. Warren, aged s years, died at the home of his niece Mrs. WilliauN Mccoy, near Coin, on last Thursday after g long illness, which de- veloped into consumption. Mi. Warren was Q familiar character about Car rollton for many years, where he made his home and conducted 9 business. For several years past, however, he had been in this county but little, making his home at Omaha. He was the father of Masdames D. c. Cooper and Henry Donaldson and Misses Ida and Ora Warren, all of whom were present at the funeral, which was held at Roscoe cemetery on Friday after noon.
 The name of ?. B. Wilson appears in our announcement column this week for the office of High Sheriff of Carroll county, subject to the Democratic voters to be expressed in primary election next March. Peet Wilson is one of the most likable fellows we have ever met, and if he don't win votes going and coming, we will miss our guess. He makes friends of people just as fast as he meets them. From standpoint of nativity and loyalty to party Peet ranks in the first-class. He was born and raised in this county, being a son of the late Alex Wilson of Dry Fork, who was a prominent figure in that portion of the county for over a half a century. It is certain that Peet is going to be a factor in the race with whom his opponents will have to reckon. He is going to make a close canvass and if he is not elected it is not going to be his fault,

OLD FILES OF 1859. Z;
Thursday, November 10, 1859.
Browns case-Trial of coppse.
CONTINUED from last week.

Browns case-Trial Of Coppee.
Continued from last week.
Charles Town, Nov. l. 1859
The Court met q 10 O'Clock this
morning, Judge Parker on the bench,
and Charles B. Harding assisted by An
drew Hunter, Esqrs for the Common
wealth.
Edwin Coppee was brought in and
placed at the bar for trial, on the
charge of treason against the State,
conspiring and advising with slaves to
REBEL and wilful murder. He is a
small man. not over five feet five in
ches in height and weighing about 1870
pounds. He has stupid look, and is
regarded as the least intelligent of the
whole party.
Messrs. Griswold, of Ohio, and Hoyt,
of Boston, appeared as counsel for the
prisoner.
Previous to proceeding with Coppee's
trial, Mr.. Griswohl stated the points on
which the arrest Of Judgment was
asked in Browns case. In addition to
reasons mentioned yesterday, that it
had not been proved. beyond room for
doubt, that the prisoner was even a
citizen of the United States. He ar
gued that treason could not, be com
mitted againsta State, but only against
the General Government, citing the
authority of Judge Story. Also that
the jury had not found the prisoner
guilty of the crimes as charged in the
! indictment, and had not responded to
the offences charged, but had found
him guilty of offences not charged.
They find him guilty of murder in the
first degree, when the indictment don t
charge him with offences constituting
| that crime.
MIR. Hunter replied. quoting the Wiz
GINA Code, 10 the effect that technical
| tiles should not arrest the administra-
of justice.
AS to the jurisdiction of the State in
cases of treason it was sufficient to say
that Virginia had passed a law assum-
ing that jurisdiction, and defining what
con, titutes that crime.
The Court reserved it's decision in
| Browns case for the present. 1t is
supposed that if a new trial is refused
an appeal will be taken to higher
I Court.
TRIAL OF COPPEE
The jury was then sworn in Coppee' s
case, the main question put to them
being whether they believed that they
could give the prisoner fair and inn
partial trial on the testimony indepen-
dent of anything they had heard OF
read on the subject.
The testimony was the same as al
ready published, but much more brief,
they only being ques Toned on such
points as are essential to conviction.
The examination of witnesses Tor the
/ prosecution had not concluded up to
the time of adjournment.

Capt. Brown was then brought in,
and the Court House was Immediately
thronged. The Court gave its decision
on the motion for an arrest of judg-
ment, everything the objection made.
Ia regard to the objection that treason
cannot be committed against the State,
the Court ruled that wherever alleg-
lance is due treason may be committed.
Most of the States have passed laws
against treason. The objection as to
the form of the verdict rendered the
Court also regarded as insufficient.
The Clerk now asked the prisoner if
he had anything to say why sentence
should not be pronounced upon him.
Brown stood up and, in a clear, dis
dinct voice said:

Attention, Strawberry Growers.

Two years ago the Missouri State
Society, under the aus
pices OF the Missouri State Board Of
Horticulture, held Strawberry Con
gress at Neosho. Mo.
The strawberry growers Of the state
have been urging the Board to have
another congress this year where they
can discuss the strawberry situation.
In answer to this demand the Board oI
Horticulture has decided TO hold q
Strawberry Congress at NeoSho, April
18th and 10th OF this year.
The program has not been made ur
yet, but the preliminary arrangement:
have been made, which confne the
addresses and discussions Of the frs
day to the production Of strawberries
This would, Of course, include straw
berry soils, varieties, diseases, cultiva
ton, etc.

Il Was Not O Major Idea.

Governor Major is boasting much
about the enactment Of a bill creating
a board to take the place Of the board
OF railroad and warehouse commission
ers, with power TO regulate the rates
and service Of public utility companies
but the governor fails TO mention the
fact that his democratic friends in the
state senate twice defeated similar
(and, in many respects, a better) bill,
simply because it was pledged by the
republican party, recommended by a
republican governor and passed once
by republican house. These facts
should deter sincere man from at
tempting to take all credit for the final
consumation Of the long considered
plan to put the public utilities of the
state upper proper control.

redistrict the state? This question
may prevent Major, Barker and Roach
from putting through senatorial ger
rymander, though they will attempt to
do so. There is nothing, however,
to prevent the people from adopting a
measure changing senatorial districts.
The Legislature stuck to business"
last week and passed a number Of bills
that have been on the calendars Of the
two houses for more than a month.
The democratic whips" have been
careful to keep to the front all bills
providing fer new Offices and good
salaries for party workers. The board
Of pard5ns and paroles has been estab-
h5hed and thus three democrats a e
provided with jobs al S2500 year and
light work, with clerks, stenographers
and pleasant Offices. They may ac-
complish some good. The republicans
have long advocated pardon board

burden and responsibility,

Work Of Democratic Law Makers.

The Legislature which adjourns this
week has accomplished some good
has put into the form Of law several
propositions advanced by the repub-
lican party and recommended in the
messages Of a republican governor.
These measures would have been en-
acted in 1909 or 1911 but for the
dogged interference and opposition Of
the democratic state senate.
Scarcely new idea has seriously
engaged the present Legislature, while
a number Of popular ideas have been
taken up, discussed, and either mutil-
aied or set aside. Lacking the cour-
age to release the capitol building

10 grains from each ear. II these ears

Before shelling the small kernels
should be discarded from an inch or
more of the tips Of the ears. Accur-
ate field tests have proved these small
kernels 10 be less productive than the
fully developed kernels OF the same
ears. The thick, iuegularly shaped
kernels should also be discarded from
the butts Of the ears. These kernels
produce satisfactorily but their size or
shape prevents the corn planter from
dropping them satisfactorily. 1t is
convenient TO nub the entire supply Of
ears before the shelling process is be-
gun. Many farmers who plant 20 or
40 acres OF corn, carefully shell their
seed BY hand and are profted by so
doing. A few remarkably succes sslul
extensive corn growers shell hundreds
Of bushels By hand. Where much
seed is required there is a strong
temptation TO run it through the corn
shelter. Hand shefiiDg is profitable
for the small farmer and more profit
able for the extensive farmer. The
shelter breaks or cracks some Of the
kernels and there is not the oDpoTtun
ity Of examining kernels from differen

Soil and seed are two prime items
in obtaining a profitable corn crop.
The seed supply can be greatly i'm
proved in quality and productive
ness by discarding the poor ears and
poor kernels. The best time 10
grade seed corn is before shelling.
The Office of corn investigations Of
the United States department Of agri-
culture has proved by careful field
experiments that an ear having kernels
Of undesirable shapes produces ears
most Of which have kernels oJ undesir-
able shapes. All ears that are unde-
sirable for one reason or another should
be discarded before making germina-
tion tests.
Those who have neglected TO take
good care OF their seed corn may now
find dead ears among their supply
