appearing this year in a long. narrow
model suitable for running board use.
The baskets are deep, have two covers
that lift, and make excellent additions
to the luncheon outfit. Cases change
but little from year to year except in
the addition of a few new accessories,
new ways of arranging and new Innings.
The most practical are companion
cases to use on the running boards for
real touring use.

AUTO NOTES.

The automobile fills a real transporta-
ton need. 1t is estimated 40 per cent of
tho motor cars in America are owned
and used by farmers. Increase In car
sales has been several times larger in
agricultural states during recent years
than in manufacturing states.
Efficiency is increased by the use of
time-and- la Dor saving machinery. The
automobile is essentially time saving.
To insure success in the war the farm
all are urged to increased efforts and
production. The automobile used in
business is an economy-not an ex-
travagance.

had ruled that space inside the rail

insisted on bringing in more chairs.
Il told Wilkerson about the ruI-
ing of the court and he raised

strike me-" said Sheriff Dunn.

I comprehend the nature of the act

IF you believe he was in posses
sion of a rational, intelligent, sount
mind, then, though passion or re-
venge may, for the time, have driver

and urged the defendant with force

ate acts, he cannot claim for such
acts the protection of insanity.
"The practical question for YOU I'd
determine from all evidence is
whether passion and revenge, or in.
sanity, was the controlling agency
which led to the commission. # YOU
believe the defendant killed Lena
Stillinger, and that such action was
! the direct result or offspring of in
sanity, you should acquit; If passion
or revenge, you should convict.
If it should appear that not only
the mind of the accused was insane,
but that the act for which he is in
dicted was the direct offspring of in
sanity, this being shown, responsible
ity is annulled, but not otherwise"
Instructions on confessions were:
You are instructed that the state
claims the defendant admitted his
guilt since the death of Lena Still
niger, and you are told that the
states claim must be based, if it has
any basis in fact, upon testimony
which has been admitted. and in this
connection you are told that such
alleged admissions Of defendant
should be received with great eau
ton, as that kind of evidence is sub
jeot to imperfections and mistakes.
Such statements often come from
loose and random conversation with
out purpose to express what hear
ers may understand, and you should
give SUCH testimony only such weight
as the same is In your judgment enti-
tied to.
There was introduced a purported
confession of the defendant. You are
instructed that any statement of the
defendant or confession of a commits
sion of an act charged is admissible,
in evidence if the statement is the
free and voluntary act. If the confess
sion is produced or signed under cir
curnstances indicating that it was in
any manner the result of coercion,
duress, mducement or promise of any
character. it is not admissible.
IF you find from the testimony
that the defendant signed the same,
and if you find that said confession
was, signed by the defendant by rea-

hope of reduced punishment or coer-
cion or duress, then you will not con-
slider the. same.
"But, if upon such consideration
you find that said purported confess
sion was the free and voluntary act
of the defendant, then you will pro-
ceed to determination of the said
confession and you will give the same
such weight and credence as you
deem it justly entitled to"

in His Confession. I,
BY EDWARD BLACK.
(Staff Correspondent for The Bee

| Red Oak, Ia, Sept. 26.-(Special
Telegram m.)-Attorney General Hav-
ner made the last of the six closing
arguments to the jury in the Kelly
murder case late this afternoon. He
began by stating that the prosecution
had made an honest effort to get at
the very truth" of the case.
Il have no apologies for being here.
! am mere incident" he said.
/ 1.-THE state cannot obtain the con-
viction without harsh words, then we
want no conviction.
I For tlve years mystery has sur
rounded this tragedy and up to this
time no man has been placed on trial
We told you that the defendant
talked of the crime before anyone in
Villisca knew it had been committed.
Has the state failed in any instance to
bring testimony we said we would
bring? J
Il want you men, in your heart of
hearts, to say whether the state has
failed *to make its case"
Havrer placed stress on the import
a1ce of the testimony OF Mr.. and Mrs.
William Sirnonds, who testified they
heard Kelly refer to the crime on the
train at o'clock the morning after
the tragedy y y q.
."You might eliminate all other tes-
timony," he continued.
There is no mistaking the propo-
sition that the man who sits in that
chair is the man who took those lives.
sYoh know that man of his in
clinations cannot be at large and not
endanger society. 49,.
There cannot be any honest opin-
ion that this man did not know of the
murder before o'clock that Monday

morning.
Il want to say to you, and the
record will show, that Kelly as Logan
said: No when asked fifteen times
whether he killed Joe Moore and his,
wife first. t.... -
That shows he was not susceptible
to suggestion as stated. He has cor
rectly related the details of his life. 1t
is for you to determine whether he
can remember events, and if he can,
then other statements he has made
are true" *
Evidence Memory Good.
Attorney General Havner stated the
circumstances of the shirt as shown
by testimony were according to what
actually happened. He said Kelly re-
peatedly and correctly related details
of the shirt, further evidence that he
could remember. -
Il have no hatred in my heart for
that man, (pointing to- Kelly, but
I have duty as a public officer to
perform and you men have a duty to
perform. If you find he was insane
when he did it, there will be special
form of verdict for you to return.
"They said we coerced Kelly at
Logan. God being my helper, we did
all we could to bring the record COM :
plete before you. Kelly told the
sheriff at Logan several times he
wanted to see me. The record shows
he was told twenty-five times no :
promise would be made to him and
ffty-one times he was admonished to
tell the truth. Vs. -,s&
This man told what | believe is the
truth when, in his confession, he told
of the shadow, voice, light, ak, and =,
of how he killed those people. "
Testimony of Landers.
mot one word receivable in court
against any other man could they Of:
fer, except testimony of Ed Landers.
Do you believe man going on such a;
mission would go in the manner de-
scribed by Landers? r..
'You men stand between society /
and this man who is criminally insane
and you should see that this man does
not have another opportunity. He
has said he would do it again. I want
you to read this sermon on which he
.efers to bloody sacrifices. There isn't
any question as to the tendency of B.
his man of lecherous disposition who
would destroy pure womanhood. AS

ARGUMENTS CLOSED IN AK MURDER CASE

Il know you did it and want you
to tell me how you did it." Was il
at all just for Hayner to tell that to
Kelly in the defendants weak and
emaciated condition if Havner knew
he should have gone on the wintness
stand and told you"
Wasn't there an arrangement at
Logan. Why were Hess, Lahman
and Bachelor there?
Man Hid in Closet. -.-.
"The confession was not obtained
at time when Kelly had fair show.

was of unsound mind and it stands
for nothing. t-, =

Not Work Of Maniac.
Il don't believe this crime was the
work of maniac"
Judge Mitchell referred to the.
Scriptures and said the prosecution
had placed misconstruction upon
"slay utterly" which in fact meant to
slay elements of evil. He showed
pole. seven feet and eight inches in
height, the same as the height of the
room where the AK marks appeared
IN the ceiling. Taking the original
villisca ak in his hands, he illustrated
the point that Kelly's height discred-
tied the theory that the ceiling
marks could have been made by
Kelly. -

join his fellow artillerymen in
being mustered back into service
of the United States after having
been mustered out on their re-.

Mexican border. The muster
will take place on next Sunday.
The Battery will then be sent to
some point as yet unknown to
the men to await further orders.
Company c has also been or.
dered to mobilize at Chambers
burg. John Bishop, of Big Cove
Tannery, is a member and saw
service on the Mexican border.

Boy Shot.

While camping and fishing
along Aughwick Creek on July
Fourth, Denver Park, aged lour-
teen years, son of Scott Park of
Three Springs, was accidentally
shot in the back by his cousin,
Raymond Park, a son of Clay
Park. Denver was fishing by a
growth of bushes and not know
ing that he was there, the other
lad fired a 20 calibre rifle at
some birds in the bushes. The
bullet struck Denver in the spine,
shattering two vertebrae and
breaking two ribs. The injured
boy was taken to the hospital in
Huntington and an operation to
remove part of the bullet was
made. We learn that Denver
died of his wounds, but we have
no further particulars.

ship. recently received a letter
from his brother-in-law, D. w.
Baker, of Benedict, York county
Neb., scolding him for not writ
ing oftener, but evidently for
giving him too, for the letter
was very long. Among the
news items was the information
that he would have absolutely
no wheat to harvest because
practically all the wheat in that
county was winter-killed. His
alfalfa was also killed. Grape
vines and peach trees were frozen
but since peaches are a very un-
reliable crop there at best, he
said they will not be greatly
missed.

PREVENTION OF DISEASE
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel 6. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner of Health.

Before the cause of diseases
where known or the practical ap-
plication of Natures ways of
producing immunity to disease,
we had to suffer an attack of
sickness and then trust to drugs
and nursing for cure.
This was a difficult task and
the death rate was sometimes
enormous, both in times of peace
as well as of war.
Then the day of prevention
came. Gradually the laws of
Nature were unfolded until to-
day we know methods of pre-
venting diseases and antidoting
the poisons generated by germs
in the body.
1t was even as late as the Span
ish- American War that we lost
more soldiers from preventable
diseases than we did from bull
lets. This was a disgraceful
thing, as sanatarians could have
prevented the high death rate.
From what we can learn through
the newspapers and other sources
France today is short of disin-
fectants in her trenches. We do
not see any great public excite
ment over this condition, or any
concerned action of our good
citizens to give their mites to
purchase and transport disinfec-
tants for the French trenches so
as to prevent disease.
Therapeutics or drug treat
ment seems to continue to have
a hold on the lay mind, and pos
sibly, to some extent, on the
medical mind.
Both the people at home in
every day life and the soldiers in
our army are much to blame for
the sickness that exists. The
medical professions advice is
not taken when these persons
are well but the moment they
get good and sick they call "oh,
docto do relieve me from this
awful pain" or "oh, doctor save
my life."
Perhaps this call comes too
late. A few words of preven-
ton from the doctor to the pa
tient and those few words obeyed
might have pre- vented the sick
ness and saved suffering and
sorrow.

Bad Party.

Last Friday evening, Mr.. and
Mrs. F. Men. Johnston, enter
tanned nearly one hundred friends
at a barn party at their home a
mile south of McConnellsburg.
The two big floors were swept
clean of all dust, lanterns were
hung on many of the posts and
comfortable seats provided.
After the many autos began to
arrive, several of them were
headed towards the barn floors
and the lights dimmed and in
that way just the right brilliancy
was provided.
The company was composed of
guests from the age of three
years to three score. Twophon-
ographs furnished constant music.
Some were there who missed the
old-fashoned fddlers, but S o
many of the younger folk pres
ent knew nothing Of the ecstasy
of an old-time ''hoe-1own" that
the modern music ser yed all pur-
poses.
Many of the dances were fun
nier than a barrel of monkeys.
The older ones knew little of the
modern "trots" and Grand
Right and Left" was simply an
impossibility to the younger set
who could not get it out of their
heads that a complete circle had
not to be made with each hand
grasp.
An abundance of lemonade
was on tap and later in the even
ing ice cream was served. Many
spent a happy evening in the
renewal of YOUTH" and the
others reveled in the pleasures
of youth unsullied by stern re-
alities that mark the passing of
that csre-free period Of life.

Suffrage Note.

1t has been said that suffrage
would unsex women. In reply,
Alice Stone Blackwell said "The
differences between men and wo-
men are natural; they are not
the result of disfranchisement.
The fact that all men have equal
rights before the law does not
wipe out natural difference of
character and temperament be-
tween man and man. Why
should it wipe out the natural diff
ference between men andwomen
The womenof England. Scotland,
Ireland, Australia, New Zealand,

not perceptibly different in looks
or manners from women else

Horse Bot Fly.

Untold suffering, reduced eff
ficiency and many deaths of
horses are caused by attacks Of
horse bot flies. Few people real
ize how many horses are affect
ed by these pests, which attach
themselves as larvae or maggots
to the inner wall of the stomach,
where they remain for the great
er part of year. The stomach
walls are often so thickly stud
ded with the maggots, as large
as a lead pencil in diameter, that
digestion is seriously impaired.
The adult is a large tawny fly,
which lays yellow eggs on the
horses legs. These eggs are
licked off by the horse, and quick
ly hatch, the tiny maggots attach
ing themselves finally to the
stomach walls, and grow rapidly.
Control is easy. At least once
a day rub down the horses legs
with an oily cloth. Kerosene
lightly applied is best, but too
much may injure the hair.
Eggs are laid also on the horses
chin and are rubbed off in the
trough and taken up with the
feed. Kill then wherever
found.
