Hear Good Music.

Music students should lose no OPP
portunity to hear the best music, both
vocal and instrumental. Heard with
understanding ears, one good concert
is often worth dozen lessons. yet
many students know nothing in music
beyond what they themselves have
practiced, or heard their fellow stu
dents give at rehearsals or recitals.
Trying to gain a musical education
without wide acquaintance with the
literature Of music is like attempting
to form literary taste without know
ing the worlds great books.--A. w.
Moore, In For Every Music Lover.

SECOND TRIAL
OF REV. KELLY
Itinerant Minister May Not Go

, of Killing Eight
People.
SYMPATHY OF CITIZENS

Case Has Created Much Hard Feeling

| Criticised.
SYMPATHY OF CITIZENS

REID OAK, Iowa, Oct. 6.-There Is
n,,ch speculation here today whether
Lyn George J. Kelly. unordalned ltln'
Grant minister, charged with the VII
lisca AK murders, will ever go 10
trial again. Sentiment in Montgom-
ery country Is more pro-Kelly tnan
ever. The hung Jury in the first
trial OF the minister has stirred up
considerable Ill feeling in this neigh
borhood.
When the Jury was discharged, II
stood eleven for acquittal and one
for conviction. Juryman Brown, VINO
lives few miles south OF here. ls
the man who voted for convlctloh.
He wanted the guilty sentence on
the ground that Kelly was insane.
He was not the most popular man IN
the community when he made MS
speech to Judge Boies. He departeu
for his home immediately afrer the
Judge dismissed the jury from service.
Much hard feeling was created
during the trial between the derense
and the states attorneys. While the
state did not seek the death penalty,
It did want Kelly convicted and sent
Ia the insane ward OF the Anamosa
reformatory which Is known as the
states criminal insane asylum. IN
the charges to the jury the states 9
attorneys dwelt at length on the ad-
Visibility of sending Kelly there lor
the remainder of his life. They argued
that he had been committed to an
insane asylum once before and after
eight months confinement was de-
clared sane. The state charged that
he showed signs Of insanity montn
after his release. The attorneys 1or
the state alleged the same thing
would happen If he was confined IN
any asylum but that at Anamosa.
The defense too introduced wit
nesses and evidence to prove that
Kelly was weak-minded from over
work. Kelly, however, was indignant
when his lawyers referred to him as
being Of a weak mind.
II Kelly is triad again on the
charges of Staying Joe Moore, Mrs.
Moore and the four Moore children

| Moore home on the morning or June

court Many citizens Of this section
doubt that Attorney General Havner
will have the case called. The at
torney general himself has nothing to
say at present on the case.
Meanwhile J. n. Wilkerson, who
) has been creating more or less ex'
citement through his work for the
defense, continues to look up wit
nesses for the defense and to berat7
the prosecution. The former Burns
detective who has been very bitter
against Havner and who is seeking
to connect former state senator
with the AK murders recently advised
Iowans to demand the resignation o!
Havner. He urged the citizens at a
recent mass meeting here to "slay
utterly" whenever Havner's name ap
peared on a ballot. "Slay utterly

The galleries were packed and the
