Marquette, Mich. May 2S.-The in
PRODUCTION Of further testimony to
show the abstemious habits of the
plaintiff was resumed in the libel suit
Of Col. Theodore Roosevelt against
Geo. A Newett, publisher of The Iron
Ore of Ishpemlng, Mich, who charged
the colonel with drunkenness.
John Callan O'Laughlin, a Washing
ton newspaper man, was the first wit
ness. The witness said he met the
plaintiff on the night after his African
Paris, acting as secretary to Mr..
Roosevelt. Mr.. O'Laughlin also ac-
companied the colonel on various cam
paign trips in this country.
In response to the question whether
during his twenty years experience
with Roosevelt he had ever seen Mr..
Roosevelt in the slightest degree under
the influence of liquor. the witness
said: --s, y
Il not only never saw him under the
influence of liquor but it seems abso-
lutely silly to me to hear anyone sug-
gest the fact that he ever was"
The question involving the custom
Of Mr.. Roosevelt regarding liquor at
banquets. was answered by the wit
ness who said his first experience with
presidents began with the second
Cleveland administration, and Colonel
Roosevelt followed the precedent of
President Cleveland and President Nc
Kinley in serving wines at public din
uers. s...... .'"
It is evident that Mr., Newett, the
defendant is very sick man, but his
ruddy countenance hid this from all
but his close friends.
Mr.. Roosevelt maintained much the
same attitude as yesterday; toying re-
f1ectively with his heavy watch chain.
as he listens to the testimony.
The other witnesses include former
members. of the cabinet, intimate
friends Of the colonel, and newspaper
correspondents who have accompanied
him on campaign tours. After the oral
testimony is given depositions will be
presented to the court.
James H. Pound, chief counsel for
the plaintiff. made it known that many
Of the latter are to be read, which pre-
cludes the possibility of completing
the case on behalf of Roosevelt before
tomorrow. s.
Y The court will take a recess over
Friday, because of the legal holiday.
Many of the attorneys believe the case
will not go to the jury before the mid
die Of next week.

Macon, Ga, May 2S.-The strange
case of B. Sanders Walker, the young
banker and real estate man, who died
a week after swallowing by accident
a blchloride of mercury tablet, has ex-
cited physicians the world over. Many
of them hold that his death could have
been prevented, but the doctors who
attended him told him from the begin
ming that it was only matter of days
when the poison would clog the kid
neys, ultimately destroying them.
When Walker took the poison and
began to feel the effects he summon
ed the physicians and the poison was
removed rapidly from the stomach.
Every known antidote has been
used, the physicians applying their
own skill and that of the ablest men
in the profession almost the country
over.
The kidneys lost every function
from the outset, and uraemic poison
filled the system almost as completely
as if no organ was left. Walker felt
little pain, except at first, and was in
clined to think lightly of the statement
from his physicians when they told
him he could not live. He disputed
their assertions vigorously, in fact, for
three days.

AUTOMOBILES HELP
THE RURAL CHURCH

Iowa city, Oct 23.--Automobiles help
the rural church.
This was the conclusion OF Rev. n
P. Chaffee of the Baptist church OF
this city after an investigation Whlch
he made in his study for doctors de-
gree from the University Of Iowa.
The Rev. Mr. Chaffee bases his
statement upon facts which he has coll
lected. Part of the material for the sur
vey of rural church conditions was OBJ
tanned from a QUESTIONABLE conducted
in Johnson county by William N. Hunt
who prepared thesis on the rurai
church.
Forty-th three Of the 40 churches In
johnson county are outside OF iowa
City, and from the 43 churches 1t was
found that thirty-two ministers an
swered that the automobile did not
hurt the church attendance.
Only eight stated unqualifiedly that
the auto hindered the churches
Three we're Misunderstanding that
the automobiles probably did not inn
pair the church attendance although
they we're not sure. ,...- .-,.Se
In these rural churches the answers
indicated that the ministers estimated
10 per cent Of their parishioners own
ed automobiles SO that the effect eth
er way was not great. ts
The Rev. Mr.. Chaffee probably will
extend his rural survey Of the auto
mobile and the church to other coun-
ties before finally compiling his figures.
This investigation is being conducted
under the direction Of the faculty OF
the University Of Iowa. ~

IN MT. PLEASANT

day of the Henry county corn and colt
show broke all records both as to at
tendance and to the number of colts
registered At o'clock, the hour for
the closing of registration, there were
one hundred and two colts registered.
This exceeds by twenty-three the reg
istration of last year, when Henry
county stood second in the state. Des-
pite the cold weather and the bad
conditions of the roads the attendance
was unusually large.
The Roes feed yard, where the show
was held was packed all day with ex-
hibitors and visitors. The entire fore
noon was occupied in the judging of
tho animals. The Judge, Mr.. Ken
nedy of Ames. stated that he had never
seen better stock than that shown to-
day, and that the Henry county show
was far ahead, both in numbers and
quality of the stock exhibited, of any
county show that had ever been held
in the state of Iowa. In the after
noon, led by the Cadet band the colts
we're lined up and marched around the
square. The streets were crowded with
spectators. .-.,.

who is one Of the oldest members of
the church, will deliver an address
which will be reminiscent in character
and which is sure to prove one OF the
features of the evening.
One of the novel ideas to be worked
out in the program will be about
twenty two minute talks to be given
by persons selected alphabetically. Ow-
ing to the fact that there are several
letters in the alphabet which are un-
common as far as being used for names
Of people, the number Of speakers will
fall short Of twenty-six.
