GERMAN WOMEN AND WAR.

It is stated that one of the factors for peace will be the plight of the German women. This is altogether likely. From the beginning of the war we have read stories of the condi- tions in the cities of Germany, where thousands of women have been seen on the streets in mourning-until the government discouraged women not to wear mourning because of the ef- feet of so much black on the mor- ale of the nation.
 The women of Germany have sui fered in silence so far. They nave sacrificed sons. husbands and sweet hearts-more than million of them killed and two million maimed. It would not be surprising that their influence would exert a tremendous influence upon the men in the trench es, who upon their visits on leave of absence are confronted on every side by stories of hardships and see the results of malnutrition.

NATURE AGAINST US.

We can fight the kaiser tut we can't change natures ways.
 In spite of the tremendous efforts put forth by our farmers ill the wheat sections. the estimate tor the present wheat crop-spring 2nl winter com bined-will not be mora han Cts, S,oG0, GOO bushels, an advance of only 2S. 000,00 bushels over las. year. The average from 1911 to l91; was Scb, 000,000 bushels.
 This marked falling off is DO, the fa,,lt of the soil-tillers, who have worked as never before. It must bt blamed the weather, with which every farmer must gamble.
 The low wheat returns, compared with three and four years ago, is par >ticularly distressing at time wher every bushel, so to speak, counts when America must supply her allies and much of the neutral world.

 dy but it's use was often neglected or
 account of its sickening qualities. l Now it is the easiest and most pleas
 ant of all medicines to take. One tablet on the tongue at bedtime, a
 swallow of water, that's all. No taste, no griping nausea. no danger. A good nights sleep and the next morning you are feeling fine, with clean liver
 and big appetite. Eat what you please. Calotabs are sold only in original
 sealed packages of twenty doses for 1, thirty-fiye cents. Your druggist offers

l been fractured This dispelled all doubt that existed as to the skeleton being that of Terry, and the only question for the jury was whether the accused was implicated
 Because of conflicting statements | of McKibben, who had turned states evidence, and Switer, the other star witness for the state, the jury disa- greed. At the second trial Styles was acquitted, and the case against Vaught and Bates was dismissed. Mckib- ben was released, and Swiber was siv- en pardon for the laid" he had given the state.
 Not satisfied with the outcome Styles. Vaught and Bates went to work to clear their names of the cloud of suspicion. They made a search for Terry, being confident he was alive. Their efforts were award ed recently when Terry was located at Los Angeles, Calif. He was brought back to Poteau on a technical charge of murder. Terry says he left Caulks- vile because of ill health. travelled thru the west and finally entered the hospital at Los Angeles for treat ment for tuberculosis. He says he knew nothing of his supposed mur- der until June when he met a for mer resident of Poteau who told him of the case. He says he was not near the scene of the alleged murder, and knows nothing about it.
 McKibben, one of the Eyewitness es", says he is ready to plead guilty to perjury; that he knows nothing of the murder and that the story he told was connected by Swiber, the horse thief.
 Besides furnishing material for a thriller of the Sherlock Holmes brand, this case also contains moral for minions of the law: Endeavor to get at the facts in tAe case to apprehend and prosecute the real criminal; don't conceive theory and then search for circumstances to up hold the theory.

HERE'S MATERIAL FOR THRILLING STORY.

That Truth is stranger than fife tion" and that the testimony of SO called "eye-witnesses" is not always as conclusive as chain of clrcumstan- ces, and that an isolated circumstance without supporting links is not good evidence, are shown ty developments in murder" case at Potcau, Okla, in which several Arkansas men are involved.
 Svereral years ago, in 1907 to be specific, the skeleton of man was found three miles south of Heavener, Okla. The skull had been crushed. Several years later detective was placed on the mystery, and as a re- suit of the investigation Walter l.. Bates, now a farmer in Washington county, Ark; Willard Vaueht of Mena. Ark; Will A. Styles Of Stilwell, Okla, formerly of Ratcliff, Ark, and Louis McKibben. formerly of Mena, Ark. were arrested and charged with the murder of J. w. CBud'O Terry, who had disappeared from Caulksville. Okla, some time before the skeleton was found near Heavener.
 At the two trials McKibhen and a fellow named Sam Swiber. then serv- ing term in the Okliahoma peniten- tiary for horse theft, testified that Terry was killed in fight with Taught on the night of August 20. 1907, following a quarrel ever tale Vaught related to Bates concerning alleged remarks Terry had made about Mrs. Bates. They said Vaught hit Terry on the head wit1 a scant- ling, knocking him down. and then when Terry attempted to rise, Vaught struck him a second blow, killing Terry.
 To prove that the skeleton was that of Terry, the state Iut on the stand Mrs. Julia A. Knotts, an aunt of the supposed murdered ran. She testi- fled that when 12 years of age, Terry had sustained fracture of the right leg. The skeleton found on the hill- side showed that the rigat leg had
