Testimony or Eight Heard.
Testimony OF eight men had been
heard for the state and that OF tho
tive defcntants for the defense today
wneu The jury was ordered excused
whii" arguments on the motion were
made. Both Kerby and Rathic took

menls accordingly.
The grand jury story, together with
the testimony OF Hart. are accepted aS
the strongest points in the states
case. The testimony was allowed In
both former cases II having been asx
ed for by the court In the sentencing
OF Neil Hart In order to assure the
court that Hart was guilty as he plead.
| Considerable interest hinges about the
decision on this point, as, should this
testimony be not allowed in the pres.
ent case. the state would have little on
which to convict the pair of conspir-
acy to shoot their way out OF Jail, as
Hart and Stoop testified.
kcrby Takes HIS Time.
Kerby was questioned several times
today and he always made his answers
very slow and deliberate. often taking
a minute or more in hich to decide
ON his answer. He Is cool and me-
thodical In his answers.
The court room today, as before,
was well fitted and got lot OF inter-
est in the case when the defense raised
its point and the jury was ordered
locked up while the arsumet ensued.
II required two whole days to draw
the jury for this case, in contrast to
the four hours used in the Stoop and
Henderson trial. Sixty-one men were
examined In all. both the state and
defense rs,ng every peremptory chaI-
lenEe allowed. When the court ad-
journed last evening tie followfg

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 2.--tU. T, }
Opening markets of the world to
American surplus through the league
of nations will not check legitimate de-
cline in the cost of living, Governor
Cox asserted here.
Failure Of the United States to enter
the league and assist in opening world
markets caused the price of cotton,
wheat, corn and other raw materials
to drop, while large consumers of
raw materials in the United States are
taking unfair advantage of the stu
alton by cheating the producer on one
hand and exploiting the consumer on
the other hand" Governor Cox said.

Leforc persisted again today but failed
to find reflection in the market and
| liquidation carried prices TO new low
levels. Cash prices fully responded to
the decline in futures with the domes-
tic milling demand only fair.
Minneapolis adviccs reported millers
there filling their requirements with
Canadian wheat at materially loweE
Iprices. Statisticians are beginning 10
view the world wheat situation as be-
ing indicative of plentiful supplies in
stead Of deficiency. The decline In
prices might be considered remarkable
in view Of the gigantic foreign buying
since the new crop was brought in and
the attitude recently maintained by the
producers In holding wheat off the
market. The explanation is really
simple; economic conditions have re-
versed and the process of dcflation is
under way.
Corn-Over night sentiment was
bullish based on reaction theory but
the fallacy Of buying futures with cash
corn drug on the market and declin-
ing in radical way was soon realized
and the pressure on the market Of
purchases made yesterday carried
prices to new low levels on the crop.
There was absolutely nothing in the
news to give holders any confidence
that their position Is correct. The
country is confronted with an over
production of all feed grains, the for
eign outlet which we enjoyed during
the war has been wiped out and the
producer must make sacrifices to do
mestic consumer in disposition of the
East surplus Not only have we more
grain than needed but the American
public is imbued with the idea that
lower prices are inevitable and the
buying power is down to the irreduc-
ible minimum. At the moment there
is no prospect of other than temporary
rallies which will serve only to weak
en- the technical position.
Oats-Selling pressure throughout
the session was too great for buying
power and the lowest figures on the
crop were made today. Cash oats
weak. IL not weaker than futures with
No. white selling mostly at one cent
under the December price. Nothing
but an active export demand would
give Independent strength to this grain
and there is certainly nothing of the
sort on the horizon at this time.
n Rye-Intcrest in this commodity is
lacking and fluctuations are domin- |
ated almost entirely by the action of
wheat.
NEW YORK, Oct 2.-The railroad
stocks stood out prominently on the
upside today and public participation !
on the high grade railroad shares ana
this is the most gratifying feature |
connected with the upturn in values in
the rail department. Industrial stocks |
were inclined to mark time but great |
er firmness was displayed in this
quarter. The good effects produced |
by the recent railroad legislation, the |
rate award of the /. c. c. and the |
rail valuation announced by the same
body some time ago are becoming |
more pronounced. We look for a con-
tinuation of the rising tendency in |
railroad stocks. We think especially |
well of Atchison. Union Pacific, and
New York Central.

MRS. ELIZABETH L. SOWARDS

Mrs. Elizabeth L. Stewards passed
away on Saturday, May 9Th, at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. George M.
Stewart, at the age of " years. Mrs.
Stewards was native of New York,
being born at Poughkeepsie, but while
a young girl she came with her par
ents to Wisconsin, locating in the
town Of Columbus. This was her
home for the remainder of her life.
Here she met NJ. Daniel Stewards,
whom she afterward married. About
Is years ago, on the death of her
husband, she began coming to River
Falls to spend portion of. each year
with her daughter, and finally she
came to live here, going occasionally
to Columbus to look after her extern
sive farming interests. Mrs. Stewards
was a woman of great individuality
and executive ability. She constantly
desired to be accomplishing things,
and it was trial to her when failing
strength deprived her of this privil-
eye. Like many others of executive
ability, she was positive and outspok-
en- in her convictions. To this was
added the great grace of cheerfulness.
She looked at the bright side of things
and her habit of humorous remark
made her delightful companion. The
Golden Rule was the law of her life
and her departure infiicts real loss
upon the group who had come to know
her in this city, and to prize her most
excellent worth.
She leaves two daughters, Mrs.
George M. Stewart of this city, and
Mrs. Conlin, of Doylestown, Wis.
Mrs. Stewart and her son Gordon
accompanied the remains to Column
bus where they were laid to rest in
the family burial ground Monday.

with paralysis. He remained uncon-
scious until the end, which came al
$3.50 a. M, May g. Interment was at
Duluth, with Christian Science bur-
ial services.
Coming to Pierce county, Wiscon-
sin, in 1878, he lived here continuous
ly until recently. He followed the
vocation of farming and stock rails
ing all his active life. He was indus
trious and energetic in business at
fairs; charitable and generous tt
those in need. The principles of jus
tice, truth and right were his only
creed. When the call came to go OF
to the Great Beyond, he obeyed with
out resentment or fear, trusting t
Him who has promised justice ant
reward according to his works to al
mankind.
