| KELLY JUROR
Montgomery County Citizens
Have Decided Opinions in
Murder Case and Judge
Somewhat RuffIed.
BY EDWARD BLACK.
Aran q staif Correspondent. Il.

Red Oak, Ia., Sept. 1l.-(Speeial
Telegram0 Interpretations of obtain
ing jury today in the Kelly murder
case, were given setback, when
twenty-one men had to be examined
to reach George M. Korrihard of Red
Oak, who was passed to fill the eighth
peremptory challence of the state.
Out of thirty-three men examined
during the day, three were passed.
Four more are required to complete
the limit of peremptories on both
sides. There seems some doubt now
that jury selection will be out of the
way by adjournment Wednesday.
One hundred and twelve men have
been examined.
BACK T OBUSINESS.
During the afternoon, H. S. Petty,
Red Oak automobile dealer, motored
home from Toledo >to learn he had
been summoned as juror. He was re-
ticent in answering questions, bring
ing judicial rebuke upon his head. In
evaporation the court dismissed him
with brusque. "You may 60 back to
your business"
There is only one way for a man
to get rid of this opinion without
proof and that is by forgetting it,"
was the observation made by judge
to an unwilling juror.
The jury in its final selection will
be farmers, with few exceptions. Most
of the farmers, who have been exam
ined have worn an II want to get
home" expression, as they realized the
probable length of the trial.
All Records Broken.
Empanelling of the jury has broken
all records in Montgomery county.
The first witnesses who will be
called by the state are DR.. w. A. Lo-
mas, DR.. F. S. Williams and DR.. J.
Clark Cooper of Vilisca, who made
the first examination of the ak MUIR
der victims; J. Christensen and I. H.
Taggart OF Clarinda, engineer and
photographer, who will testify to the
condition of the Moore home; A. L.

There is more food wasted i'll Ne
braska than is used in the state" said
Mr.. Wattles.
This was seconded by Charles
Graft of Bancroft, himself a farmer
who followed the statement up by
adding, "Yes. and the people on the
farms waste even more than those III
the cities"
Wayland McGee of Douglas county
and NJ. {. Peters of Omaha have writ
ten Mr.. Wattles asking that he take
up the matter of allowing the drafetd
farmers, or proprietors of farms to
remain at their faFms until after the

The first work will be to get the

Cant's Realize Conditions.
Mr.. Wattles made the remark that
the people here in this great grain
belt cannot possibly realize what the
conditions are in the war zone with
reference to food, He said he had
been told by eye witnesses of cases
where women and, children in Bel
gium and Poland were seen to die by
the wayside of actual starvation.

WILD RUMORS SPREAD.
All sorts of rumors were in the air.
It was reported-t that several hundred
strike breakers were at work in the
plants. A number of wagonloads Of
cots had been delivered to the Morris
plant, it was said, and this was taken
to indicate that the packers were pre-
pairing for long siege.
Fred Feick, United States Commits
sioner of Cancellation, who came to
Omaha on Monday, was engaged all
dayin conferences. First he conferred
with the packers, then with the stock
yards officials, and then with the rep
resentatives Of the, strikers in the city
hall. Then he went back to the pack
ers and in the afternoon brought to
the committee representing the strik-
ers an agreement signed by all the
packers containing the provisions out
lined above. With this important
document the committee and Commits
sioner Feick went to Schlitz hall,
which was crowded to the doors with
strikers awaiting the arrival of their
leaders and the government mediator.
GREETED WITH CHEERS.
The party was greeted with cheers
as it pushed its way through the
crowded hall to the stage. T. P. Rey-
nolds, president Of Central Labor
union, declared that Mediator Feick
has done more for the laboring men
of Omaha in two days than any other
man has done fos them in forty years"
Then he read terms obtained from
Commissioner Feick from the packers.
C. L. Shamp, Vice President Schmidt
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
union and others spoke. Each one de-
clared the outcome F the strike to be
a great victory for the packing house
workers of Omaha, Then Commits
sioner Feick made an impassioned
plea to%the men. sHe pleaded with
them on the grounds of patriotism at
this time TO accept the terms and go
back to work.

at is either go back now or stay
out" he said. "If you stay out the fed

States soldiers will be stationed to
guard those packing houses, because
it is question of the government

want soldiers here"

Buenos Aires, Sept. 11.--News dis
patches to the effect that passports

About Home Lighting.

High intrinsic brilliance of lighting is
not necessarily good lighting. We must
aim to get away from the staring, high
placed fixture. the bulb that makes a
blur Of light in one particular spot
only. What we need in the home is
not light, but lighting, two very differ
ent things.
Another point is that we should try
to have our fixtures bear some relation
to the harmony Of the room and the
furniture. Light has aesthetic quail
ties, but we seldom are led to believe
so except on the stage. Light effects
on the stage can be initiated in ideas
in the home. Even the most sumptu-
GUS room will be ruined by a poorly
placed, incongruous lighting fixture.
Lighting must first, be comfortable to
the eye. 1t must, second, enhance the
objects and furnishings of the room
and not mar them. We can learn q
great deal from the lighting experts.
whether they be purveyors of gas, oil
or electricity.

SPRING HATS.
Tips About the New
Millinery That's Visible.

One of the best looking panamas In
notably good collection of sports hats
was a rather small model whose roll
ing brim was edged by buttonholing
in black and lemon yellow silks. Long
stitches in the same colOrs formed 9
narrow line around the crown, and q
flower made Of white silk braid and
black and yellow silks was applied Hat
ly to the crown at the left front. The
citron yellow was too pale to give the
hat a striking air, but relieved the
sharp contrast of white and black.
Much yellow in all the popular tones
-citron, canary, gold, mustard. etc.-ls
in the sports hat showing and is Tea
tured both in straws and in fabrics.
Crowns of felt and cloth are associated
with straw brims, crown tops of fabric
are set into crowns of straw and the
brims may be all Of the straw or part
" of straw and partly of fabric.
The messy rough straws of last sum-
mer combine very effectively with
plain fabrics for sports hat purposes.
and very fine. supple straw braids are
used in two or even more colors. the
colors alternating throughout the
whole hat and giving the effect of mar
row stripes running round the hat. A
little collapsible hat Of this sort In
smart coloring with brim facing Of
plain silk and cockade trimming of
similar plain silk would be comfort
able and practical possession.
Along with the various forms of high
satin turbans come lower turbans In
Vulnerable in satin or faille or other
silk or In silk and straw combined.
Black, the dark browns and the deep
blues are, as usual, much I'm evidence
in these small street hats, and there
are good many puppies and grays.
Purple and medium old blue are
much combined. and clever little tur-
ban with the narrowest of cloche brims
and the highest Of crowns is all of pur-
pie satin, with its trimming narrow
band of old blue beads running around
the high crown near its top and three
tassels. of old blue beads dangling from
this band i'm front.
A small sailor shape with rather mar
row sharply rolled brim is offered In
satin and, though trying. Is a jaunty
and youthful model.
Wide brimmed foppy picture hats of
finest erin are among the things offered
for southern wear, and many of them
seem to be Of the turned up back and
dropping front lines. One of these
models was of the palest sulphur vel
low tone with wreath of camellia-
like roses shading exquisitely from the
yellow Of the hat down through deeper
yellows into fruity reddish pink and a
ribbon of turquoise blue. Pure French
this coloring and entirely successful.
Tulle. hats and hats of tulle combined
with straw or erin are always in the
southern season showing, and there are
quantities of such models in black, with
trimming entirely of tulle or great
bows Of tulle bound narrowly in satin
or feather trimmings, such as have
been used on the winters large dress
hats-paradise, gourah, imitation egrets
and all the other delicate plumage.
