The murder of Mrs. Harriet
Moss Mcdaniel, wife Of the
prosecuting attorney of Buchanan
county and the daughter of a
family socially prominent. was one
of the most sensational crimes that
has occurred in Missouri in many
years. Battling to the police and de-

the murderer) and stirring St. Jo-

Mcdaniel, the woman's husband, was
indicted, charged with the killing.
Mrs. Mcdaniel was attacked and
beaten as she lay asleep in her home

Summoned by Fake Call.
Prosecutor Mcdaniel said he had
been called away from home on a
fake telephone call, purporting to
come from his brother, in an uptown
saloon. AS he returned, he was met
by one or more of the supposed mur.

HIS COWS SEEM TO
BE AFFLICTED WITH
A SUICIDAL MANIA

Hannah, n. D., Oct lS.-A. A. Scott
has made desperate attempt to keep
a COW in his possession but has failed
twice and has given up. Several days
ago his first COW, which he had only
a short time, wandered away from
home and was found the next morning
in a manger in his neighbor's barn,
dead with her neck broken. Scott
felt the loss quite seriously but decid-
ed to try again. so he purchased an
other. This COW insisted on eating
grass from the middle OF the railroad
tracks and incidentally lost its life
when an engine struck it.

Price of Wheat Scars
Skyward; High Records
Since 1898 Are ExcelLed

Shortage in the wheat crop in the
United States and Canada was fur
ther accentuated today by increasing
alarm over the Argentina drought and
in regard to the premature stoppage
of threshing in Canada.
Houses here with import-export
connections were conspicuous buyers
on every slight reaction in the wheat
market until the last half hour OF
the session. when prices had overtop-
ped the high point reached in Febru.
airy Of last year.
Corn rose with wheat and touched
the highest prices yet for 1916. Bull
ish Canadian advices tended to lift
oats, which were also affected by the
upturn in wheat and corn.

FORD PEACE EXPEDITION
 SERVED PURPOSE

SEATTLE. Feb. 25. - "The Ford peace expedition to Europe was a sue cess, not a failure. for it has served the purpose that MT. Ford had in mind " said Emil Edward Hurja, of Fairbanks. Alaska, University of Washington delegate on the peace mission, who returned a few days ago to resume his studies.
 "The first purpose of Mir. Ford was that the expedition should serve as a popular demonstration against war in general, and as a novel and unique en- terprise, crowd preparedness talk off the first pages of the country's news papers Both of these ends were ac- compIished. just as Mr Ford planned and now the more serious phase of the expeditions working plan is being undertaken. in the formation of a neu- tral conference or continuous arbitra- tion heard. Whether this neutral con ference will be a success or not, time alone can tell. One thing is certain: The Ford peace expedition cannot be called a failure until the conference ends it's work
 Representative men of the differ cnt neutral European countries have participated in the meetings and have been selected for work on the perma- nent neutral conference. Among the men are the attorney general of Nor way; the burgomaster of Stockholm, and a number of prominent writers and professional men"

FRENCH WARFA FARE GRAPHICALLY
 DESCRIBED

PARIS, Feb. 25. - The second win ter campaign along the Franco-Belgian front has thus far differed little from the first. excepting in the greater eff
 ficiency that experience has given to tactics between the trenches The two armies at close quarters are, as last year. like two wrestlers gathering their forces, each seeking solid foot hold and on the lookout for the chance to grip the other by the neck. Most of the activity between the artillery positions is with flying machines over head or with the sappers and miners underground; in the trenches them selves it is largely a matter of vigi- lance, mud and water, with frequent variation in repairs of defence works after q heavy bOmbardment The mud is q more serious problem than at the same season last year on account of heavy rains. Ditching has been done on a large scale all along the front, excepting in the dunes of Flanders, where the trenches are mostly above ground, composed of millions of sacks of sand; the water there is too near the surface to make drainage possible. Elsewhere drainage has been effec- i've in dry weather, but the rain toys with the genius of the engineer and turns the ditches into canals.
 The men are well armed against the cold with sheep skin coats, muf- flers. sweaters. boots, and are quite comfortable in the Vosges, where the water runs off readily. In the plains of the Woevre, though, where an en- tire brigade worked four days to exc cute plan of drainage, admirably conceived and theoretically perfect, that was found insufficient during the first storm there is no protection pos sible against mud and water.
 The bottoms of the trenches are covered with fagots, but in vain; they disappear in the mud after storm. A week of rain causes as, much dam age as 9 violent bombardment, accord ing to an officer, who has seen nearly every sector of the front this winter
 In certain parts of the Woeyre. Ar tois and Flanders the ground all around the lines, belabored by shells of all calibres. covered with excava- tions that rain has transformed into miniature lakes, resembles marsh of interminable length and a mile or so wide: the communicating trenches themselves, sometimes several miles long, are like cesspools. The men obliged to tramp through them to get to the front line are tired out when 1 they arrive. One relief detachment | was whole night making the four | miles from their quarters to the trenches; during the passage a num- Der of them left their shoes in the . heavy. sticky mud. Men often prefer to risk the enemy's shells and make their way to their post on the sur face. but even this route is scarcely better in many places on account of the pitfalls dug by artillery fire. It is over such ground that the soldiers must plod with backs bent under loads
