Jurors Gaze Interest.
Many times while the lawyers talked
the jurors looked long and tiXedly at
Mrs. De Saulles. But not once, so
far as could be noted, did she lift her
eyes to the men.
One of the most damaging efforts
Of the district attorney to break
down the defense's contention that
Mrs. De Saulles' mind was a blank
at the time she heard her husband
say. You can't ever have him." took
place when he called Countess Salm
in rebuttal. The countess was de-

CREAMERY NOTES

Chicago butter market today, Tues
day. is Al cents, one year ago price
was 3li cents. Amount of butter in
cold storage August was Is per cent
less than last year same date, which
means at least a % per cent higher
price for butter the coming winter
unless we are favored with a late fall
and good pastures.
Silage corn will be good this fall but
those having silos should not put the
corn crop in too early, wait until the
corn on cobb is out of milk. Better
let the stalk get frosted than TO put it
up too green. Good advice in putting
up corn before well ripened is to mix
a part oat straw in the silage; would
advise straw to I silage. The straw
will take up the over surplus moisture
in corn put up before well ripened.
The creamery had a large August
business, the make of butter was 1885,
800 pounds, value S52,3l0. August
make last year was l04,500 pounds
which sold for $32, 300. The increase
was $4,000 pounds over last August
and the cash received was SO, 600 more,

IS a REAL COMMUNITY GRIEF
Infant Child browns in Pail of Water
Near DeSoto

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Wes-
lev J. Smith was suddenly saddened
Saturday morning at about $50, by
the death of their little nine month S
old girl when the little one was drown
ed in a pail containing about six
or seven inches of refuse water. Mrs.
Smith had left the little tot about
five minutes. stepping across the road
on some little task and upon return
ing found the baby in the pail. The
child was just big enough to crawl
around and pull itself up and this was
evidently what it had done and lost
its balance. -DeSoto Argus

TIE sudden death, when he appeared
to be well on the way to recovery af-
ter five weeks of illness by fever, of
Mr.. Alphius T Jordan, at his home
ia the town of Stark, removes from
life's activities man of sterling worth
aud high purposes, a pioneer of cas-
tern Verno2 county, and one who was
animated with a spirit to better the
world'a and assist in all commendable
works, where his lot was so long cast.
he had seen the wilderness of his sec
tion blossom into one of the most pros
porous aud desirable portions in our
fine county.
Mr. Jordan was born in Indiana,
September 49, 1852. His fathers
family, James W. Jordan, with a com
pany of relatives and others drove
through with OK teams to Vernon
county in 1858, locating In Union town.
He was married to Carinne Alexander
In 1875, who preceded him to the
Great Beyond in 1901. Three sons and
a daughter survive them Lawrence
r., OF Washington, ID. c.: Laird ", of
st. Paul; Howard l.. and Mary c., both
at home. Funeral of this beloved
father, honest and enterprising man
and good ueighbor, was held at West
Lima, Thursday last, conducted by
Rev. Jones.
With crudeness of educational ia
cilities in early days, Mr.Jordan quail
flied himself for teaching and followed
that during winters. With a good
brain and a right heart he was sea-
soned and qualified for almost any ac-
tlvity. He leaves one of the best
homes and stocked farms of LaFarge
section. For many years he was as
SCISSOR and treasurer of Stark, a mem
Der of the governing board of the ag-
ricultural society-always abreast the
wave of progression.

series Of articles for the CENSOR on
early pioneering in eastern Vernon
county that demonstrated his ability

last year. Outside the city the figures
show 20 pupils. OF the total 377 are
boys, 373 girls. Last year there were
4l6 boys, 353 girls. Thus it will be
seen that there is falling off of 81
boys as compared with last year, and
a gain in girls of 20 over last season.
1t makes US just little curious to
