at his home near Clyde some months
ago was tried and acquitted at HALEY

county attorney and Holden and Hol-
den, and the defense by Clark and
Clark of Mackay, Chase Clark TAX
ing the leading part. The case lasted
four days, the jury were out about
four hours and returned the verdict
of acquittal.
It Is said to have been a very
'hard-fought case, prosecuted with
much bitterness, and we are inform
ed that the defense showed up the
bitterness in such a way that 1t re-
acted against the prosecution, and
was in great measure responsible
for the result.
Mcconnell is reported to have re-
turned to his old homeAin Kansas.
There were about twenty witnesses
in attendance, and the case is said
to have cost Blaine county about six
thousand dollars.

PUBLIC OFFICE MADE PRIVATE

Somebody seems to have been kid
ding the county superintendent OF
school and in the vernacular of the
jokers she "fell for it," The editor
of the Republican went to her office
Thursday and she was at her desk
He laid off his hat and bowed and
said, 81 have come to look at the
financial record" She rose saying
you can't see that record. If you
want to see anything in this office
you will have to get an order from
the court" and she advanced to bar
the way to the record.
Ye editor opened the big book on
the table where is it used, and pro-
ceeded to hunt up information. She
said, "You can't do that. Do you
hear?"
Ye editor replied, Eyes, hear, and
1 am going to hunt up what I came
for. l have been informed that in
the publication of the Moreland
school accounts we had a period in
the wrong place making $50 read
$50, and l am going to correct it
if it was wrong"
He sat down and traced it out and
found that Brig Robinson who had
drawn $3.50 in December, 1912, had
been published as drawing $3.50.
."You know" said the superintendent,
"I told you before, that those columns
had not been read and checked for
mistakes"
"Oh, the record is right, the mis-
take was made in my Office" replied
We editor. Then the superintendent
said, "Well, you can't have access to
anything in this office again unless
you bring an order from the court.
Ye editor said, 81 shall come When
ever | want to see these records, and
it will be up to you to get court
order to put me out. I shall come
as a citizen and taxpayer and shall
be within my rights at all times"
But" said the lady, "you publish
them wrong. They tell me you said
in your paper that we had paid
double the amount of the contract
price for the new school building. Is

want to know what I have said in

of it and read for yourself"

"HCMAN INTEREST" IN NEWS
". II. Handy Says II Is Sympathy
With Humanity.

An informal discussion of Human
Interest" opened the today's session
of Journalism Week. William II
Handy of ChillicOthe made the open.
ing talk and told of the value of hu-
man interest in stories, particularly
magazine stories. Mr.. Handy is sue
cessful magazine writer and was for
merly newspaper man.
According to Mr.. Handy. the es-
sence of human interest is human
sympathy. Love of fellow man. SYM
pathy and imagination are the requi-
sites of a good writer Mr.. Handy
said that newspaper work is good
training for magazine work He gave
his experiences in getting his first
articles published
c. p. Dorsey Of the Braymer Bee
said that the principles of human in
terest may be applied to any kind of
writing, for people are chiefly inter
ested IN other people. A lively inter
est in the people and the things that
influence their lives are what makes
a paper successful. A paper can cul-
tiSate an appetite for human interest
stories just as paper that plays up
sensational articles can cultivate an
appetite for the sensational.

CAREFUL or CRIME NEWS
Editors Say Papers Should BE Fit for
Homes.

In the discussion OH THE Problem
of Crime News" l.. NJ. White of Mex
| leo, Mo-. said that the reporters OF
| crime news became callOus to the hor-
rOrs of crime and that in the reading
of crime news the public also be-
came callous in their feelings. He said
that the country papers should keep
their little crime news they have as
free from anything that would leave
a had taste as possible for the news
paper is to go into the home.
William Southern of Independence
the men behind the paper who are
responsible for the news that goes
into it and that if they are part
of their community they know their
community and are careful of police
court news.
He said that great evolution is
coming to the country in the news
paper. in politics and in religion. In
the newspaper the change has already
come, and the ideal newspaper is one
for the home. In politics the change
is bringing in the same lines of pro-
eressiveness. In religion the division
between sects is rapidly growing less
marked and an ideal union is being
created.

Alaskan Woman Talks.
Mr.. Nelson's talk was followed BY
Mrs. Mary F.. Hart of Alaska. vice
president of the Pacific Coast Women's
Press Association and president of
the Alaskan Cruise CClub.
In 1900. Mrs. Hart joined the gold
seekers in Alaska as representative of
a Los Angeles and other coast PAPERS
She told of receiving on her way up,
a package Of l50 Sunday papers from
Los Angeles. Her employers said they
would be good for the Alaskan news
paper men to see and charged her 2ia
cents a copy. In Alaska she sold the
papers to a newsbOy at 25 cents
copy. This was the first money she
made in Alaska.
Mrs. Hart said that today woman
was working side by side with her
brother in journalism. Although man
has greater reasoning power. woman
has intuition which often proves of
great value in the procession.
Many stories of the romance and
reality OF journalism in that far north
were told by Mrs. Hart.
There is much to write about in
Alaska, and inspiration for the artist
and poet. She mentioned a score or
more of well known writer's who had
received their inspiration in that far
north and wonderfully interesting

DEV IMPROVEMENTS LACK IN FARRELL MURDER
 POLICE ARE BAFFLED

City police said last night that there had been no new developments lin the Harrell murder mystery This announcement is taken as meaning that the officers have failed to bring .about developments which they eX- .pected would materialize quickly fol- lowing steps taken on Thursday Re suits were looked for on Friday. and certainly yesterday.
 It was practically admitted last night that there had been develop ments which set at naught much that was surmised as likely of providing evidence backing up opinions held earlier in the week
 In the face of no arrests. not even for the purpose of detaining persons who would appear to be wanted as
 witnesses, it is beginning Co look very much as if the officers have nothing to go on in the way of posi- tive evidence. and are little if any in advance of where they were when
 they reached the decision a week ago
 that a foul murder had been com mitted.

ORDERS DYNAMITERS ID PENITEN I IARY
 ON JUNE THE SIXTH

CHICAGO. May 1C.--The twenty four labor leaders sentenced in the "dynamiting conspiracy case" who are at liberty under bonds, have but three weeks more of liberty. The United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals today ordered them to surren- der on June 6 to the worden of the Federal prison at Lesvenworth, or be taken to the penitentiary from Chi cago on that day. The order will affect only nineteen of the twenty four. five having returned voluntarily after new trials were denied them. Only pardon from the President can now save the men from serving sen- tences.
 The court took under adyisement the cases of Olaf Tveitmoe of San Francisco. Richard Houlihan of Chi cago, and William BeInhardt of Cin- cinnati. who were granted new trials.
