DR.. Wilson A. Holmes, director Of

pies work. of Ohio, occupied the pull
pit at the morning service and gave

was. thoroughly interesting.
In the evening Rev. A. 3. With

WILSON SAYS HE 'C0NvERsED
WITH MISS TURNER ON I'M
MORAL SUBJECTS.

MARTINSBURG, Nov. 24.-Fight-
ing desperately to save their client
from the strong meshes of the net
woven about him by the prosecution,
the attorneys for E. Graham Wilson,
on trial in C%harlestown, for GRIMM
ally assaulting Miss Kate Turner,
placed Wilson upon the stand and in
a h~esitating and embarrassing man
Iner, he declared the occurrence which
led to the charge against him. Will
son declared that his act of wrong
doing was committed with the full
consent of the woman, and. that 1t no
time did he employ force. He also
declared that he had had several con-
yersations upon immoral subjects
with Miss Turner during the day pre-
ceding the alleged crime, and that
when he and the woman left the
Wilson home for the drive to his
neighboring farm, there was at least
a tacit understanding of what was
TO follow.
He was subjected to a very severe
cross examination. In their efforts
to save their client from a long term
in the penitentiary and possibly from
the death penalty, Wilson'S attorneys
succeeded in securing the rejection
of the testimony of Rev. DR.. Moffat;
or ~Charlestown, and Rev. DR.. F. D.
NJ. Woods, of Martinsburg, prominent
Presbyterian ministers on the
ground that the statements made to
| them by Miss Turner and the ac-
cused mar were Of a privileged ma
ture.
DIR. Moffat is the pastor of Miss
Turner and it, was to him that she
confided the details Of the alleged
crime. DR.. Moffat and DR.. Woods
both visited Wilson In jail after his
arrest, and it is claimed that Wilson
made damaging admissions to both
clergymen. Rev. DR.. Woods, is the
father of Judge John NJ. Woods, who
is presiding at the trial, and who
ruled out the testimony of his faith
or. Mrs. Wilson was on the witness
stand for a short time, Miss Turner
was called for the third time to deny
the statements of Wilson.

GREAT IRON STATE.
Minnesota Has Total Mineral Produc'
ton In Year 1912 Of
$66, 100000.

Because of It's greatwealtb and ex-
tensive development of iron ores, Min
nesota ranks ninth among all the
states in the value of its mineral
production. In its output Of iron
ore Minnesota far outranks all other
states, and during the last three
years it has contributed both in guam
tity and value considerably more than
half of tile iron ore produced and
marketed in the United States, ac-
cording to Edward w. Parker, Of the
United States Geological Surrey. In
1912 the total marketed production
of iron ore in the United States was
i7.O17,614 long tons, valued al $10T,-
$5O,l53, of which Minnesota contrib
uted 34,249,Sl3 long tons, valued at
$61,SO5.017. By far the largest part
of the iron ore produced in the state
is derived from the Mesabf iron range
now the most important iron.produc-
ing district Of the world. The Mesabi
is the youngest of the great iron
ranges, the Guyana range, which has
been developed inthe last two or
three fears, not having attained no.
table prominence at the close Of 1912.
in which year its production amount
ed to S69,73 9iong tons. The Mesa
hi rauge was opened in 1892, and
yielded a production in that year OF
less than 10000 tons. In 1894 it
yielded nearly 100000 tons; in 1902
it produced over 13,OOO,OOO tons, or
nearly half Of the total output Of the
Lake Superior iron ore. The Mesabf
range reached its highest producing
point in 1912, with an OUTPUT of 81
GO4.756 long tons. <,li
Exclusive Of the iron ore the value
of the mineral products Of Minnesota
in 1912 was s4,S67,712. OF these
less important products the prin cipal
items are from the quarries and city
pits, which yield products Of almost
coual value. In 1911 the clay prod
ucts, exclusive of pottery, were val

protect Your SIN Against cold.

Protect Your Skin Against Gold.
II the pores are large or the skin
delicate and oily, so that dust clIngs
readily, a veil should be worn upon
all outdoor occasions in the fall. Al
though the veil may have certain dis
advantages in that 1t catches dust
and rubs It on to the face. it is, at
any rate, a partial shield.
AS further protection, before going
out in the wind, smear the face well
with a good cold cream. White vase
line is also excellent, il there is no
predisposition to hair on the face; or
giycerine. II It agrees with the skin.
Then after the cream has had time u
sink in wipe the face gently with soft
linen and dust It generously with {
good powder. The face is then abso-
Iutely protected from wind or cold.
Upon coming In again remove the
dist by wiping of with a cream, or
what is more agreeable, opn emulsion.
To cleanse the face with water i'm
mcdiate1y after exposure, either 10
heat or cold, is a most pernicious hab-
IT. It>gets up an irritation that opens
the way for cutaneous affection.
Glycerine is accounted n OF the
best cosmetics, and il sometimes 1t
does not seem to agree with the skin
IT Is probably due to it's too concen-
trated form. 1t should be diluted one
half to three-quarters with a good
aromatic water, as elder flower or
rose water. 1t not only mas a soften
ing effect, but, tends TO KEEP the skin
supple. In this latter connection 1t Is
an invaluable aid against chapping
as It Is for remedying the same trou-
bic.
In regard to the powder yon 'use'

poison in any preparation can be de-
tected by turning a little ammonia
into it, when the sugar of lead Will

iustifies this belief" said Colonel
Cocktails. ION the other hand the
geologist is of the opinion that the
water may to some extent develop
new slides. Again much ado was
made in 1909 over the scamy char
actcr of rock on the isthmus, through
which water flows quite rapidly, in
consequence of which the question
was raised that the lake might leaK
out through seams and crevices.
Sooner the Better.
If those things are liable to &C.
cur, the sooner the better, if the Of
ficial opening of the canal is to occuf
January /, 1915; for if water were
not admitted this fall but were de.
ferred until May /, 1914, the full
height could not be reached until Oc-
tober, 1914, leaving little time for
the determination of these questions
These considerations led to the con-
clusion that the water should be-
turned into the cut at the earlies:
date practicable for getting the
dredges to work on the slides.
1.-THE present plans, therefore, arc
based upon the blowing up of Gam
boa dixie on October 10, its removal
by dregdes Immediately thereafter,
tile transfer OF two suction dredges
and a ladder drGdge to the Guerra
cha slides, the smaller dipper dregdes
to work on the other slides until the
full widthiof the channel is attained,
and the passage Of vessels through
the canal as soon as channels Of full
depth and of sufficient width have
been secured. ,rr -.s
Before boats can be passed e VIII
be necessary to remove the Gamboa
dixie by dredges and to remove the
slides as already outlined. The pas
sage of commercial vessels is depend
cnt, therefore, upon the time when
proper channels can be dredged
through the slides; should additional
ones occur, they will necessarily adj
vance the date when this will be ac-
complished."
Slides Caused Delay.
The canal proper, exclusive oil the
approaches. the machine shops AMI
warehouses and great ocean docks at
either end, would have been complef-
cd during the last fiscal year, but fol
