DISTRICT COURT NEWS.

The November term of the Dis
trict Court of Phillips county ad-
journed at lv o'clock Saturday
night to meet again the 26th of the
month, when the balance of the civil
calendar will be tried. The jury
men were all excused until the latter
date and the majority of them were
excused for the term as only small
number ,will be needed to try the
balance of the cases.
Last week was an extremely busy
one in court affairs and several inn
portant matters were disposed of.
Early in the week when the first of
the alleged cattle and horse rust
ling cases were brought up the at
torneys for the defendants endeav-
ored to have the entire panel thrown
out along the same lines as those
advanced at the former term when
Judge Utter dismissed the jury.
Judge Thompson ruled different,
however, and the first case went to
trial with the result that the jury
disagreed and the defendant will be
again placed on trial at the next
term of court. At this time it was
agreed by stipulation of the attor-
neys to continue all of the alleged
| rustling cases in which G. H. Stew
ems appeared as attorney for the
term. BY so doing the calendar was
practically cleaned of the criminal
actions.
One criminal action, that Of the
State VS.. Theodore r. Shoenborn, on
a statutory charge, was cOmmencCf
Friday evening and occupied the
attention of the court all day Satur-
day and late that night the Jury in
the case found the defendant guilty
and fixed the penalty at two years
in prison and sentence will be pro-
nounced by Judge Thompson Nov
26th. This case has attracted con-
siderable attention on account Of

meantime the defendant has mar

COST OF A TERRIBLE WAR.
(NGartin MadshaH in LesIe.s.1

0Martin MadShal in LesHe's.0
 As the great war continues to drag. it's weary way along with daily slaughter Of hundreds, even thou sands. of Europe's best manhood without any decesive results, an in creasing impatience is noted in the perpetual question of .twhen will it end % Various wise theorists have hazarded speculations on this subject, one Of the latest being advanced by Edgar Crammond, financial writer for an English, newspaper, who, in an address before the Royal Statistical Society of Great Britain, advanced the opinion that by July of this year the war must come to an end be- cause some of the belIigerents will then have exhausted their financial resources. He estimated the cost of the war at the end of July would be $16,S9O, 100000 and the total eco homie loss, from damage of property and in other direct and indirect ways at $45, 100000 900.
 What the war has cost in men Is yariously estimated. According to the Vossiche zeitung a leading German newspaper,x the loss of the allies in killed, wounded. disabled by sickness, 900 men of which approximately 1000, 900 are prisoners The Prus- sian losses alone are officially stated to be about 100000 and it is entire l " probab1e. that the totals of the losses from other German states bring this number up to nearly D. OOO,Ooo, The German war depart ment alleges that more than 100, ,oOO l German soldiers are held as prisoners 1 of war Austrian losses have not been stated officially. but are prob ably not much short of 1,560 900. The proportion of killed, including those who die of wounds, to the wounded who, recover may be roughly estimat- ed as one in three. Deducting. l. l 100000 as the. total number ofspris- oners on both sides, we have approxf- mately 1.93O,0oo killed in seven months of fighting. Of the 3,sOo,- l 900 wounded, perhaps one half or 1 100000 have recovered and are again fit for duty. The percentage of wounded who die after reaching the hospitals IS very small, but great numbers die through delay in being removed from the field and because of the inadequate facilities of field 1 hospitals.
