HAM AM TRIALS TO
GO TO OAK RIDGE
Men Accused of Stealing "Midd-
lings" at HiIderbrand, Get
Change of Venue.

In the case of the State of Missouri
VS.. Jean Branam ct al, which was t.
have come up for hearing before
Judge ID. G. Hilderbrand, at Hilder.
brand, Mo-, On June 80, change OF
venue has been agreed upon between
Prosecuting Attorney J. Henry Ca.
ruthers and Attorney Sam Bond OF
Ferryville for the defendants.
The change of venue was taken for
the reason that the complaining wit
ness, Joseph Hilderbrand, is a brother
to Justic D. C. Hilderbrand before
whom the case was originally set, thus
disqualifying him as the presiding of
fetal. 1t was finally decided to try
the case before Justice J. H. Bowers
at Oak Ridge en- July 2.
The defendants are accused of hav-
ing broken into Joe Hilderbrand's
smokehousc about two weeks ago, and
making way with a large quantity Of

that Branam and Ncisline were seen
to leave FrietIheim in buggy on the
evening of the robbery, passing
through Hildorbrand and on toward
Biehla, and when they came to the
cross roads, turned back, reaching Hill
derbrand's place at about one o'clock
in the morning, when the smokehouse
was entered and the home cured bacon
and ham were carried away. The tres
passers in their haste, it is alleged, left
4 gunny sack and other articles which
it is claimed lave since been identified
as the property of the defendants.
Both defendants are said to be I'M
der indictment for two offenses, one
for petty larceny and the other for
disturbing the peace. They were in

kINSOLVING TESTIFIES
He WAS KIND MATE
Tells Court Wife Has No Right to Ask
Him for $4,000

In the suit now on trial before
Judge r. G. 8anncy, wherein Mrs. H.
p. Kinsolving seeks to collect $4,000
from her divorced husband, H. P. Kin
solving, the amount of bond alleged
to have been given by the defendant
as an assurance that be would never
again mistreat the plaintiff, most OF
yesterday was spent in hearing the
testimony Of the defendant.
His testimony was in direct contra
diction to that offered by Mrs. Kin
solving on the day before. and efforts
were made to show that when a sum
was paid over by him to his wife ir
settlement of claims she had against
him, the bond was no longer effective
and the plaintiff now has no legal
right to demand payment of the same
Acts of cruelty charged by the plain
tiff as having occurred both before
and since the execution of the bond
were denied by the defendant.
He testified that he had on different
occasions given her large sums OF
money, and that when they separated
in 1906, he provided her with home
in Kentucky, and gave her 81 300. He
said that when the divorce was grant
cd in 1910 he gave her $1,000 in set
tlement, and in 1911 she instituted suit
for the collection of $4,000 and to set
the decree of divorce aside.

WAY OF THE CROSS
BLESSED BY PRIEST
Impressive Ceremony Marks Con.
secration of Stations of the
CrucifixiOn.

| In an impressive ceremony seldom
witnessed in this city, "The Way of the
Cross" was consecrated at the new st.
Francis Hospital Sunday evening. The
little chapel was conveniently filled
with spectators who were present up
on invitation from Sister Baptista, the
Sister Superior of the institution.
Rev. Thomas F. Levan, pastor If
St. Vincent's Church, blessed the four
teen stations, representing "The Way
of the Cross" and Father James A.
Murtaugh delivered a short sermon on
the Crucifixion, celebrating upon
Christ's pilgrimage from the time he
appeared before Pilot to his death on
Mt. Calvary. He described the fou"-
teen posts as a panorama of the cruel
fixion.
Father Murtaugh painted a vivid
word picture of the tragic death of the
Savior, and told prettily the lesson
that the Crucifixion taught.
The conservation of the stations con
sumed less than half an hour. Father
Levan described briefly each station
after he had kissed the model of the
Savior and then pressed his lips to The
cross, which was inserted above the
station. This ceremony was repeated
at each post. A short prayer conclud-
ed the conservation of the various sta
tions.
Father McAuliffc, of st. Vincent's
College, played and sang at the be-
ginning of the service and also at the
conclusion.
Father Rowling of Chaffec, Father
Durbin of the College; Father Pruente,
pastor of St. Mary's Church, and Fatli-
er Murtaugh were the priests who W.T.
messed the whole ceremony.

The BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

With the possibility of the United
States becoming Jan active partlCl-
pant in the European struggle so
greatly removed and with the sue
cess of the Anglo-FrenCh loan so
clearly in sight the outlook for the
market for securities may be regard
ed as having CORRESPONDENCE imErOv-
ed The favorable money outlook will
not be modified materially by the
practical steps that will be concern
ed in the credit that is being ar
ranged. The proceeds of the loan
are not to leave the country. They
will remain on deposit in the banks,
and trust companies until needed and
will return to the banking institu-
lions when the payments for sup
plies for which they are intended are
made. According to last Saturday S
New York Clearing House statement,
the banks and trust companies added
more than $15,0O0,00C to the already
uneXampled surplus carried above
reserve requirements, bringing the
total up to 1924 ,122, 600, which COM
pares with a deficit (instead of a sur.
plus) of $3.50, 065, 900 last year at this
date, which of course was a period
when all the financial, industrial and
mercantile activities of our country
were suffering the first shock of the
war. We now have reached the act
i've period of crop financing. 1t is
evident that there is to be no strain
resulting from this feature during
the present year. The Secretary OF
the Treasury has announced a policy
of depositing Government funds in
the banks of the South to aid in f.
nancing the cotton crop. Even with
out such arbitrary action and If the
supplies of funds we're not as com
pletely redundant as they in fact
are, the operation of the new banking
law would be sufficient to prevent
any important strain in money circles
as a whole.

Animal life was very abundant in

not all the classes Of animals now liv-

though different in appearance from
the present forms, sported along the
shore or swan the deep. Sea lilies
or cTinoids, animals built on the
same general plan as the startish but
having a calcareous cup with an at
tached stem, decorated the sea floor.
Sea shells belonging to the same
class as the oysters and snails were
there. The lamp shells, or more
technically speaking the braChiopOds,
resembling butterflies, mingled with
a corckscrew-like sea net. Other
forms, minute and large, figured in
this life and have been wonderfully
well preserved to the present time D..

and at length it emerged; the waters
withdrew to the deep basins, and
land life was substituted for marine,

AUTOS AND. INCOME TAX.

The Washington ID. c. Herald
speaks with ignorance of conditions
in Iowa when it SAYS that the pur'
chase of $4,000 automobiles in one
year indicates that lowans are dodg,
ing the income tax, only $264,OOO be-
ing paid from that state.
If the total income of all the PEG,
pie in the United States were evenly
divided, the income tax would disap'
pear, since it exempts families max
ing less than $4,000 a year, says the
Des Moines Tribune. In eastern
cities, there are large numbers of
families with incomes in excess OF
$4,000, and the rest of the population
works for from SO to SIS a week,
In Iowa, probably half of the total
number of families in the state have
incomes ranging from $4,000 to a.,
900 a year. These families own the
automobiles, but they are not dodg-
ing the income tax. They are legal
ly exempt. just as the people of
Washington would be if wealth were
not concentrated.

At THE MISSION HOME
Fifteen People Are Being Cared for
at the Present Time.

Editor Herald:-It has been so
many months since l. have seen a
copy of the Herald, that | am not GER
tain as to whether we of the Mis-
sion Home" have been forgotten or
not But we are still here, fifteen
souls in all, eight of the sick and old
and one worker in the house. The
worker out of doors, our business
manager, and Tom are here temporar-
lily. We always have plenty of that
kind to divide with, and even though
was little to give, still in that divid-
ing of that little we have blessed
and have never been hungry, though
sometimes we might have liked some
thing different. But this has been
such a season of plenty from the
time of the earliest spring vegetables.
Mr.. Farms, north of University Park,
has brought us of his very best and
so literally that sometimes we have
almost wondered if we could eat it
all. Our own garden has also been
and planted it, then when he felt he
must make a change, our old garden
er, Mr.. Hensen, came back and we
have had everything and of the best
until at the few times have not
been able to go to the table, | felt
we had almost an embarrassment of
coed things. OF course some of us
have growled because things were
not cooked perhaps just as would, or
did when we were cooking in our own
homes. 1t is such pity that, as we
grow Old, we get grumpy and growly,
but oh! the pains do hurt so and we
are too weak to move about much,
and lame and half blind so maybe we
will be forgiven. we have had an
example in Miss Wilcox, the house
keeper. With all the work to do,
the sick to care for, and sometimes
the outdoor work, she has done it all
cheerfully, without a word of com
plant and also without one, cent of
remuneration. With it all she has
managed to put up over 300 cans of
fruit and vegetables. Now the gar
den is gone and stiIl we must eat, and
it is so cold morning and night. Sure.
ly every farmer in Mahaska county
could spare a little and never miss it
and load of coal from any mine or
coal yard is so little they would not
miss 1t. We would be so grateful,
and this bread cast on the water does
return after many days.-Mrs, l.. NJ.

NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION

| statistics compiled under the super
vision of J. d. Northrop, of the United
States Geological Survey, show that
the quantity of natural gas CONNER
cialIy utilized in the United States in
! 1914 exceeds that so utilized in any
Iprevious year in the history of ths
natural gas industry The quantity
produced, which amounted to approxi
mately 591 1855, 1873 900 cubic feet, val
iued at $94115,524, constitutes a new
'reCOr1 Of production, exceeding by
nearly 10 billion cubic feet, or almost
p per cent, the former record estab
lished in 1913.
I Increases in output in 1914 over
I 1913 we're credited to New York, Ohio
Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama
Iowa and California, the state last
named alone recording a gain of near
ly seven billion cubic feet. Other gas
producing states recorded declines in
output, the greatest OF which, that OF
Pennsylvana. amounting to slightly
more than 10 billion cubic feet
The increase In gas production may
be attributed TO various causes - In
New York to the increased drilling &C
Itivity stimulated by the advancing pc
trOleum market in 1913 AM the early
part of 1914; in Ohio to local exten
sions of the productive fields of the
gas belt in the central part of the
state and to the development on an
important gas pool in the vicinity of
Cleveland, Cuyahoga county, in Okla
homa to the development of gas re
serves in the Cushing field Creek
County, and the Healdton field, Carter
County as we'll as to a decided pXpan
sion of the local casinghead gasoline
industry; in Texas TO a greater utili
cation OF the gas supplies available in
the Petrolia and Mexia fields; in
Louisiana to the greater development
OF the gas reserves in Caddo and De
Soto parishes; and in California to
increased demands for domestic con
sumption in Los Angeles and adjacent
towns in the southern part of the
state as we'll as for industrial con
sumption in the casinghead gasoline
industry
OF the record breaking production
of natural gas credited to 1914 il is
estimated that a total of 203,1O4,358
600 cubic feet. about "a per cent, was
supplied TO domestic consumers at an
average price of 2S.04 cents a thous
ami cubic feet and that 3S8. 762, 375 900
cubic feet, the remaining 66 per cent
was supplied to industrial consumers
at an average price of $50 cents
thousand cubic feet During the last
four years the ratio of domestic to
industrial consumption has varied but
slightly Formerly, however, a relative
ly greater proportion of the annual
yield was supplied TO industrial con
sumers
