"BHnd Boss of Rhode IsIando
in Pay of n. III.
Testimony Throws Thrill in
Trial of Ex-DirectOrS.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Testimony dis
closing that the late Gen. Charles r.
Brayton, 1.-THE blind boss of Rhode. Is
land was employed by the New York,
New Haven x Hartford railway to
block the passage of bills in the Rhode
Island legislature authorizing the con-
structing of trolley lines which would
compete with the New Haven, caused
a sensation at the trial of the eleven
former directors of the New Haven
today.
1t developed that the government
evidence in regard to General Bray
tons activities had been discovered
after the finding of the indictment,
and when the morning session ad-
journed counsel were in the midst of
a heated wrangle over the admission
Brayton was paid for his service as the
New Haven's legislative agent.
The defense raised the objection
that neither the indictments nor the
government bill of particulars speci-
fed the acts which the government
was trying to prove. With Charles 5.
Mellen as the identifying witness, the
government put into the record the
following letter, dated April 16, 1895,
from John NJ. Hall, vice president OF
the New Haven, 10 General Brayton;
Il notice passage of a bill through
the legislature last week chartering an
electric railroad running between
Pawtucket and Attleboro containing
a provision that the company may
carry express matter We should have
urged strong objection to this bill if
we had had an opportunity.
please do not let any more of that
kind go through, and if possible would
like to set that express clause stricken
out, either by a general law or some
other way, as it seriously interferes
with our revenue from the Adams
Express company.
81 notice also a bill pending for an
electric railway from East Greenwich,
through the Pawtucket valley, with
power to carry freight, coal, etc, xn
carload lots. Please nip this project in
the bud, if possible, and kill it. Our
interests are utterly opposed to grant
ing any electric railroad company
power to parallel our lines and are
especially opposed to granting them
the privilege of carrying freight or ex-
press matter
When the government came to pre-
senting it's letter to show the COM
pensation received by General Bray
ton, five attorneys for the defense.
who had been in conference put in
their objections. Five of them argued
the matter successfully. r. L. Bats,
attorney for the government, con-
coded that the matter had not been
before the grand jury, but that this
nevertheless constituted a concrete
case of the New Ravens purpose to
monopolize.
Judge Hunt, after considering the
question during the noon recess, at the
afternoon session, sustained the OBJ
lection made by the attorneys for the
defense and the jury was not allowed
to hear the remainder of the govern
ment evidence in the matter

HELD UP MAP PLAN
Attorney General Holds That Auto
Fund Cannot Be Transferred.

Plans of J. T. Botkin for a state
highway map were upset today when
S. NJ. Brewster, attorney general, held
that the money from the state auto
mobile fund could not be used for map
printing. Botkin had planned the is
suance of the most complete road map
in Kansas and proposed to pay for
the work from the states revenue
from the automobile fund.
The Brewster letter, however. was
to the effect that the state could not
use the money for the issuance of a
map, no matter how badly it was
needed by the automobile owners
There is nothing IN the automobile Ii
cense law that permits the use Of the
funds for the purposes contemplated
by the secretary of state and Botkin
must now abandon his plan.

Instead of so much meat Topeka
housekeepers should serve Mime
sofa" Macaroni twice a week Their
men folks will not only be glad to see
them save the meat money but they
will like the delicious, nut-like flavor
of Minnesota macaroni much better
than meat
To those who do not know what a
big difference there is in macaroni as
sold at the stores. the rich, delicious
flavor of Minnesota" macaroni will
be revelation. 1t is made from gem
uine Durum wheat and is four times
as nutritious as beefsteak. 1t is also
easier to digest and costs only one cent
a dish.
Try the handy Minnesota" Cut
Macaroni. which is cut into uniform
pieces-it cooks more evenly and is
quicker to prepare.

 What is each of your cows costing you?
 It is a good plan to test the cows occasionally to see if there are any deadheads in the herd. Might be a good plan to watch the owner care fully, too. He is just as susceptible to desdheadedness as the cows.
 Before you rid the dairy herd of the "robber COW" make sure that she is having fair show by being supplied with the proper rations, care and shelter.

NEEDED STORES FOR WINTER
Bees Should Be Fed on Sirup Made of Best Granulated Suear--Add

Bees needing stores for winter should be fed on sirup made of best granulated sugar, in the proportion of fifty pounds of sugar to twenty pounds of water. The water should be brought to boil and the sugar stirred in un- til thoroughly dissolved. Bring this sirup to a boil, and while boiling stir in three teaspoonfuls of tartarie acid. previously dissolved in cupful of wa ter. The acid helps to invert the sugar and prevents it granuiating again fn the comb. Each colony go- ing into winter quarters should have at least 35 pounds of sirup or honey for winter use.

0VERFEEDlNG IS A MISTAKE
Beginners Especially Are Liable to Make This Error With Pullets--
 Wheat Is Good Feed.

Those who are having their first ex- perience with a flock of bullets of considerable size should remember that the birds, having been brought up on the range during the summer, are more impatient of restraint than the older birds. Hence, it is essential that they be handled so they will ob- tain the maximum amount of exercise in the winter quarters. Probably this is better done by some intelligent care in feeding than in any other way Let the bullet have one good meal dur ing the day, arranging this at any period which seems best after expert menting; for the rest of the day keep her busy by frequently scattering small quantities of grain among the chaff on the floor or in the yard if the weather is sufficiently open.
 Manage 1t so that each bullet will be fairly well fed during the day; there is little danger of overfeeding by this plan, so that care must be taken that they have enough. Fur the best possible results for the bullets will take it in the search for food when they cou]d not be induced to do half the moving around if their appe- tites were already satisfied. Be care fui to use small grains In this man. ner of feeding. wheat being probably the best for the purpose.
