CORONER'S JURY ASKS
THAT WILKINS Be HELD

Louisiana, Mo-, March 9.-Fred
Wilkins, by the verdict of the Cor
oner's jury at 400 yesterday after
noon, will be held for further inves-
tigation into the shoting and death of
former Mayor Alien M. Walker, last
Tuesday. Before his death Walker
said the shooting had been accidental
but the fact that Wilkins refused to
testify at the inquest Monday and in
view Of other evidence the jury de-
creed he be held for trial in the high
er courts.
The last witness examined, Monday
afternoon, was b. c. Jordan, formerly
a resident of Mexico, Mo. His testi-
mony threw no light on the shooting
or any Of the incidents connected with
it.
The verdict of the jury was as fol-
lows: Eve, the jury, find that after
hearing all the evidence relating to
the cause of the death of said Walker,
that he came to his death from pis-
tol shot wound inflicted by Fred Will
kins, but whether by accident or with
intent to great bodily harm we are
unable to determine. However, based
on Fred Wilkins refusal to testify
and thus further, as witness, most
valuable evidence, and upon the ma
ture of the evidence submitted by
other witnesses, we, the jury, recon-
mend that Fred Wilkins be held for
further examination or trial by prop
er process of law"

THERE is no reason why all of GU,

THERE is no reason why all of our
farmers should not have small or
ehards as it would be paying in
vestment for them if they would look
after them, especially if they are
sprayed from time to time. Along
this line, the Breeders Gazette SAYS:
The farm without an orchard is not
a complete farm, and an orchard with
out spraying can hardly be an or
chard--not for long, at least. There
fore practical orchardists give this ad-
vice: Buy some spraying materials,
consult a spraying calendar and go TO
it," An authority at the University
Of Missouri says that insects are high
livers. On an acre of apple trees they
may destroy $100 worth of fruit. The
college of agriculture at Columbia
brought this home to Missouri farm
crs by the simple experiment of
spraying a few farm orchards. The
average value of the fruit on an acre
Of unsprayed apple trees was found
to be $1s.05. Four careful sprayings
raised this to an average of $187.19
an acre. On one orchard the net pro-
fit due to spraying was found to be
Sl61.12 an acre. The average cost
per tree for the first spraying was
Sc cents, 10 cents for the second, 9.5
cents for the third and cents for the
fourth--a total of 37.1 cents tree, or
an average of $22.26 an acre. These
are facts, upon the basis of which
anyone can figure out whether it
would pay to spray.

COUNTRY DOCTOR" PLEASED.
Large Crowd Witnessed the Play by
the Rush Hill Bible School.

'The Country Doctor" as present
ed by the Rush Hill Union Bible
School Saturday night at Doolin's
Hall was a decided success. Each in
dividual carried his or her part out to
perfection, and we can praise no one
in particular without giving due cred
it to all However, the acting of Miss
Lila Stuart, who received her part
only few days previous TO the date
set for the play was a commendable
feature.
Miss Stuart who took the part of
Agnes Gilbert the leading female role,
was very ably assisted by c. Victor
Ford who took the part of the Doctor,
and the enthusiasm and curiosity of
the audience was held at a high point
by them until the plot, which alone
by circumstances, (the play not hav-
ing the presence of william throw
ing suspicion and dispense on Miss
Gilbert was cleverly disclosed by
Walter Melahn in the roll of the Town
Constable.
These characters were most ably
assisted, and the monotony and SER
iousness Of the plot eliminated by the
fun made by Erie, a darky character
part by Albert Davis; Mrs. and Mr..
Burch by Mrs. Clara Peery and A. P.
Heinicke respectively and Dolly Brit
ton and Howard Wayne, by Miss
Maude Cornett and Clyde Shoupe res
pectively, very much in love with each
other. Phillip Melahn as Zebediah
Bum, a hotel loafer; Miss Lille
Lower as a Hotel Maid with aspira-
tions and Miss Anna Miller as Susan
Pinner the Doctors Housekeeper,
were filled with such deserving credit
as makes US feel they ought to be
something more than amateurs.
The hall was filled TO its seating
capacity, regardless of the bad roads
and weather conditions, and owing to
several requests for a repetition, the
play was again presented on Wednes-
day night. If favorable date can be
secured for the Opera House at Lad
donia, the play will also be presented
there. Xxx
