terday that Cameron Ross of GRAY
suffered stroke of paralysis in
Council Bluffs Tuesday evening. He
was taken to the Neumayer Hotel
where DR.. Kelly was called and had
him removed at once to Mercy hos
pital. His condition was considered
very serious and at present it is un-
certain just how severe the stroke
may be. His father George Ross
left early yesterday morning for
Council Bluffs to be with his son.
AT this writing, no definite inform
alton as to his condition is to be had.
He had been suffering for several
days with a severe headache and
bodily illness. Monday evening he
went to Manning and boarded the

LOOKING AFTER SEED CORN

ID. G. Wilson, of Guthrie Center, is
out in the interest of the agricultur-
al college at Ames, endeavoring to
interest the farmers in Audubon.
Guthrie ana Carroll counties to pick
their seed corn at once. and to select
about one third more than is neces-
sary for their own use. From all re-
ports there is great danger of a ser
ious seed corn shortage as conditions
are unfavorable everywhere. Those
who have early fields of good corn
should select more seed than for their
own use SO that they may supply
others not so fortunate.
Mr.. Wilson was accompanied by /.
M. Boggs. county superintendent of
Guthrie county and they are work
ing with the superintendent of Au-
dubOn and Carroll counties with the
hope that in this way attention can
be directed to the parents through
the school children of the rural
schools of the necessity of looking
after the seed problem at once.

KELLY CASE IN
HANDS OF JURY
Fate of Rev. Kelly on Trial at Red
Oak for Murder of Eight Villisca
Persons, Soon to be known


The trial Of the Rev. Lyn Kelly TO,
the murder of Lena Stillinger, on,
OF the eight Villisca ak murder vic
tins went to the jury at Red Oal
at sos Wednesday evening.
Instructions of Judge Boies to the
jury cover twenty typewriter pages
and provide for five different verdicts
as follows:
l. Murder in the first degree
to be punished by death or imprison.
ment for life, to be determined by the
jury.
2. Murder in the second degree
TO be punished by life imprison.
ment, or for term of not less than
ten years, 70 be determined by the
court.
3. Manslaughter- Imprisonment
Tor not more than eight years and
a fine not exceeding $1,000, as may
be fixed by the court.
4. Net guilty.
5. Not guilty by reason of the
fact that Kelly was insane at the time
the act charged was committed.
Kelly Is Popular
When Judge Boies finished the
readlng or his instructions, the Jury
retired and a crowd gathered around
helly to shake his hands with him
before he was returned to his cell
for the anxious period of waiting
while the jury is out.
Il am innocent" the little min
lister sobbed and when some of the
women started to cry Kelly broke
down and sobbed like a child.
Attorney General H. M. Havner
finished the closing argument at 4:3O
with quotation from "Thanatopsis,"
through which he asked jurors to
remember the sacred oath they had
taken.
The reading of the instructions
consumed forty minutes and the mys-
terry which has kept Montgomery
county in a turmoil for five years
went into the hands of the jury.
In the grand jury indictment the
Rev. Mr.. Kelly is charged with MUIR
der in the first degree, but the in
structlons permit conviction on any
one of the three grades of himicde.
Havner's Final Argument
VI TIC T1dVnoT
began while the largest crowd of the
trial waited breathlessly to see how
the attorney general would reply to
the bitter personal attacks matle
against him by the defense, your
position and my position in this trial
was not of our seeking. It was your
duty and my duty. You accepted
your portion-I accepted my portion.
THE state has done the very best
it could to gather witnesses from all
over the country. The state welcom-
ed witnesses for the defense Just as
much as it did those for the state. Il
have no apologies to offer for being
here, or for what have done in this
case. t~ t.I.,. saw
Il will have discharged my duty
in a few moments, and it will then
be your duty to discharge yours. II
will say nothing unkind of anyone.
II the state cannot get a conviction
without resorting to abuse it does not
want conviction"

AUDUBON COUNTY MEN
NOT TO GO OCT. 8.

Sheriff Wilson received word from
the war department this week that
the 46 men who were to have gone
to Camp Dodge October 3rd., would
not be called at that time. Provost
Marshall General Crowder has wired
Adjutant General Logan at Des
Moines that no Iowa men would be
sent to Camp Dodge on Oct. 3rd, to
Join the national army now training
The reason assigned for this order
is the incompled conditions of the
buildings at the camp. General To-
gan is to be notified as soon as the
balance of the Iowa men are to move.
1t is not thought that this will cause
any lengthy delay in the going of
the balance of the men to Camp
Dodge. Officers say that the bar
racks will be ready within two weeks.
Eighty PEI cent of the building are
now completed, say the officers in
charge of construction.

TEACHERS STUDY CENTER
PROVES INSPIRATIONAL

Last Friday and Saturday at the
high school building, the first teach
ers' study center meeting was held
under the direction of Miss Stearns.
Many of the rural teachers of the
| county were in attendance and report
that it was one of the best and most
instructive meeting ever held in Au-
dubon for the short time allotted to
it.
The chief factors in education, PEN
manship and reading were the sub
5ects taught. 1t is recognized by all
people that these two subjects are
the foundation upon which all other
studies of education are founded.
II child is poor reader, he can
not get the immediate understanding
of the subject in hand in the short
est time possible. He is greatly de-
layed in having to ferrit out the au-
thors meaning of even the simple
works. This delay is found not only
in readers and papers, but is current
in every branch of study the child
may pursue.
Miss Stearns has long recognized
the necessity of good reading by the
children. AS a consequence she secur-
ed Miss Martin, professor of reading
in the college at Cedar Falls to come
to Audubon to instruct the teachers
of the schools how to teach reading
to the children. Miss Martin is rec
ognized as the best in her line of
work in the West. The inspiration
she aroused will find fruit in many
Of the schools of Audubon county
1t Is the expectation of Miss Stearns
to have Miss Martin here during the
county institute early in December
The public may feel exceedingly fort
innate If Miss Stearns succeeds In Sc
curing Miss Martin for one of the in
structors at that time.
One of the best instructors in the
middle West, Prof. Cummins of the
same institution as Miss Martin, was
also here to give to the teachers in
structions how to teach penmanship
in the schools. Poor penmanship
is a universal feature of the modern
child. This condition causes the de-
feat of more young men and women |
in the business world than any other
one branch of education. The great |
er per cent of the failures to secure |
promotions is due to illegible writing. |
The instruction of Prof Cummins |
was greatly appreciated and the bene-
fits will be manifest in our schools.

TAKEN TO STATE HOSPITAL

Yesterday morning Teresa McNally
OF Extra was taken to the asylum in
Clarinda by her brother and sister
has been afflicted with insanity since
childhood. In her early life, it was
not considered very serious, and most
of the time she was cared for by her
relatives. During the last ten years
she has gradually grown worse. She
spent six months in the Jennie Ed
monds Hospital at Council Bluffs,
and in 1913 she was cared for by
the doctors in the Asylum at Nor
folk, Neb Since that time she has
been at home in Extra and her con-
dition of late became such that her
home people could not give her the
care necessary. so she was
taken to Clarinda. She was violent
in no way, but instead was easily
1t was considered best to
have her under treatment at the state
hospital. She is AZ years old and
the cause of her insanity is said to
be hereditary.

OUR DOCTORS ON FIRING LINE

presence OF American surgeons and
nurses on the battle front in France
is not in any sense a novelty, for they
have been there since the beginning
OF the war. Now, however, we have
them there as organized units of the
United States army working under
fire. This gives to the medicos the
distinction OF being the first of our
expeditionary forces to get into ac-
ton. Just behind them, though, are
our soldiers, ready and eager to take
on their share of the fighting, and
word may be expected at any time
now of American troops actually in
battle. Therefore, it will be we'll to
give due heed to the words of Gen
eral Wood, spoken at Kansas City.
This war is not going to be won by
chemicals and flying machines. but
by hard fighting and sacrifices. Our
boys are already there; let them have
word from home that an united ma
ton is behind them with all its tire
mendous power

A MONSTER EAR

John O'Brien was in the office to-
day and brought with him an ear of
white corn measuring fourteen ald a
half inches long and containing
eighteen rows. The ear is well fill
ed. but is still quite soft. Mr.. o.
Brien found the big ear while pick
ing seed corn on the farm occupied
by his son three miles east of the
city Mr.. O'Brien is of the opinion
that farmers will be agreeably sur
prised when they come to gather the
crop this fall. He has been farmer
for many years and his word is as
good as anyone could ask for. The
ear of corn was left at this office
and those who are interested in see
ing 1t may have the opportunity by
calling at this office.

meeting. We would have been Just
as eager to prevent Jones or Mans.
field from speaking in Audubon as we
were in the case of Wilkerson. This
case is to be settled by the people
OF Montgomery county and not by
the people of Audubon or any other
county.
The Republican does not pretend
to say who is guilty or innocent of
this henious crime. Its none of our
business. We don't want outside in
fluences to Oring dissention in our
midst. We have problems of our
own to solve.
The meeting Saturday night was
Wilkerson's. We gave him his inn
ing. We take issue with him, how
ever, when he says the article which
sent to us for publication. No one
takes responsibility for that article
but the editor of this paper. 1t was
written by him and the original copy
is still on file in this office.
If his evidence against Mansfield
is as faulty as his evidence that the
article was not written by the editor
Of this paper, there is every reason
on earth why Mansfield could never
be convicted of the crime. We deny
also that We talked to his back. We
not only talked to his face but had
every word in black and white so
there could be no denying as to what
had been said. Naturally some of
the people in the audience enjoyed
the compliments Wilkerson paid the
editor of the Republican. Thew
laughed ana took it COOL naturally
as did the editor himself.
While Wilkerson took up valuable
time in paying his respects to the
writer. the editor of this paper, saw
around him plenty of friends. who as
sured him that their confidence in
him remained mistaken. With this
he could not help but re-
,all a quotation which reads as fol-
ows:
We have kind word for the
stranger.
A smile for the sometimes guest |
But oft our own is the bitter tone, |
Yet We love our own the best.
Attorney John Graham presided
It the meeting and made fair and |
impartial presiding officer.

DR.. Jorgensen has been very sue

He has given the business careful

hogs that are sought by the best
breeders in the country. This was
his third sale and by far the best.
