injury mad the appearance of being
shot from aritlle or revolver. An rN-
animation OF the carcass failed to show
the presence Of the ball. but all other
indications We're strongly Of a rifle shot

The trial of A. c. Filler at keota last
Monday resulted in an aequital Of Filler
MIR. Gill testified practically as we
stated his claims Of the affair in last
weeks paper Mr.. Filler asserted
that Gill was the agressor. throwing
The rock before Filler made any attack.
Filler denied calling Gill any offensive
names. Filler also showed the stick
which he ADMITTED he used on Gill. 4
piece of old board about an zach square.
Gill says it was not the stick used.
Mrs, Filler corroborated her husband.
Filler alse claimed that be struck but
one blow. This shows that the eyi.
dence was in conflict. The Justice gave
the defendant the benefit Of tie doubt.
But here is the situation. We saw Mr.
Gill few hours after the trouble. He
showed bunch on his head about the
size Of hickory nut. a bad welt on his
left elbow, and the back Of his right
hand showed two places where the skin
was broken which be claimed to have

People who have had occasion to deal
with the County Clerks office during

control of the Office and il acquainted

THE SPICE OF DANGER.
Auto Races and Aviation Flights
Draw the Crowds.

1t was a typical incident at the
Sheepshead Bay Speedway, New
York, few days ago, when Carl
Limberg and his mechanician, who
were competing in an automobile
race, were killed while speeding 104
miles an hour. The news story says
the enthusiasm of the crowd was
"dampened". Yet ii there had been
no danger in this competition, it is
doubtful if any crowd of $4,000 peo-
pie would ever have put in an appear.
ance.
There is love in the human mind
for seeing people do perilous things.
Circus stunts like tight rope walking
are as old as history, and have al
ways drawn crowd. Would people
ever turn out to see them if the rope
were stretched two feet from the
ground? Just as much technical skill.
would be called for in that case. But
the element of control of nerves
would be missing. This is largely
what the crowd comes to see.
For many years balloon ascen
sions were the most popular attrac-
ton at the county fairs. Today their
place has been taken by aviation,
which satisfies the same demand. The
public enjoys seeing daring men
fiirt with death. 1t wants them to
win out in this competition with the
elements, but it insists that there be
no Sinking of risks. The fact that
the air is squally and full of ''poc-
kets" does not excuse the aviator, in
the minds of the crowd, from failing
to make his flights. Yet his safe re-
turn under these conditions may be
very dubious.
1t is often remarked that the law
should stop perilous exhibitions like
automobile racing. Yet if the racers
were stopped on the speedway, they
would risk their necks on the public
roads, where they would endanger
many others beside themselves. They
would enjoy taking these chances,
and no doubt do it for love of the
sport quite as much as for money.
'This is an age of morbid fears. 1t
is rather refreshing, in a time of so
many extreme precautions, to see GER
tain types of people who can put
aside all timidity in the face of death

Training Husbands.

Miss Marriott, professor of home
economics of Wisconsin University.
says that plans to train good hus-
bands were lacking that the present
crop was poor picking They lack
interest in home and shirk their share
of responsibilities. That is a pretty
just indictment. The growing influ-
ence of the lobby, the club, of sporg,
is diminishing a mans devotion to
his home. There are many men who
have fine homes, intelligent wives
and interesting children who give ten
times the attention to the crowd
downtown than they do TO these. 1t
is one of the perils of the times, one
of the triumphs of materialism. Sure
iy there should be some way to train
husbands; but doesn't the admission
imply that something is the matter at
home, and that the wife may be lit
tie at fault? There are many fine nus
bands in this city, but they owe that
fact principally to their having fine,
thoughtful wives. But better nus
bands are really in great demand, as
the professor suggests.

There is just as much reason for
saying that Candidate Harding Is
wettish, as there is for saying that
Candidate Cosson wants to bond the
farms of Iowa to pave the roads that
run along them. The farmers "
Iowa know that the state is dry and
they also know that they do not want
to pay for pavements that almost
bankrupt city property owners, altho
they may have only so foot lots to be
assessed instead of 160 acre farms.
Politicians can pay for pavements
with their mouths great deal easier
than farmers can do it with their
orops.-Cedar Rapids Republican.

Wife Clings
to Doctor in
MurderCase

New York, March 25.-Still suffering
from the effects of the narcotic drugs
he began to take when his troubles
overwhelmed him, DR.. Arthur Warren
Waite spent a restless night under
close guard in the prison ward at
Bellevue hospital By Monday the
district attorney expects to receive
from the grand jury an Indictment
charging the young dentist with first
degree murder in administering the
arsenic which caused the death of his
father in-law, John E. Peck, the Grand
Rapids millionaire.
White was cheered today by pros
poets of seeing his father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. Warren W. Waite, who
came here last night from their home
in Grand Rapids.
Our son never committed this awful
crime Of which they charge him." said
Mr.. Waite. Give him chance and
we feel certain it will be cleared up
Mr. Waite added that he brought a
message to the accused man from his
wife, who is i'll at the Peck home in
Grand Rapids. Mr. Waite said his
daughter in-law had called him to
her home before he started for New
York and told him to tell her husband
she wanted to come to New York and
comfort him and that she did not be-
lieve a word of all that had been said
about him.
Tell him I have heard what they
say about him and another woman,
Mr. Waite quoted the young wife as
saying, 1T makes absolutely no diff
ference to me- And even if it were
true about that other woman tell him
that forgive him"
Detectives said today they had
found and identified the woman with
whom DR.. Warren Waite had register
ed at hotel here as "Mr. and Mrs. A
W. Walters" She was described as
formerly singer in public and now
the wife of an inventor and electrical
