| torney stated at the opening of the
trial. -
And soon the jury must decide her
sanity.
Viii they believe the murder too
brutal, too foreign to womans gen.
tleness to have been conceived and
perpetrated by any woman whose
mind was NOT unbalanced?
Will the testimony tending to
show that Mrs. kaber fed her hus-
band poison, and complacently watch
ed him suffering and dying before
her eyes, be the factor that will make
the jury say "insane?''
will the tale OF the knife gashes
in her husbands body, while he lay
a helpless invalid in bed, make the
jurors say, "A craZed woman only
could have been responsible for SO
brutal tragedy"
Many believe so. But there is one
who watches and waits, unswayed
by claims of insanity. He is Moses
kaber, father of the slain man and
Nemesis of Mrs. Kaber.
Through the two years when every
one else despaired of apprehending
tn guilty parties, kaber spent time
and fortune in the effort. And it
was through him that Mrs. Kaber
and the others were arrested.
Now he sees justice near fruiton
the avenging of his sons death close
and he listens with unbelieving eX-
preston to the attempted defense Of
insanity.

FACTS FOR THE
CITY TAXPAYERS

Mandan's budget for strictly
city operation is only $36,550 a
year, as against more than $1l6,-
600 for Bismarck.
Despite the difference in pop
ulation, it would seem that our
neighbor had placed it's finances
upon a more economical basis.
Is there any valid reason why it
should cost more than three
times as much to run Bismarck
as Mandan?
The neighboring city has a
regular bonded indebtedness Of
100000 and the following spe-
cial warrants are outstanding:
Sewer .$163,644.95
Paving ...... 179,161.45
Lighting 80. 70,215.22
y This comparison shows that
Mandan is keeping it's overhead
expenses down rigidly so that
the people can more easily meet
the cost of the special assess.

to greater competition and the
tax cost of doing business in
Bismarck must not be too much
in excess of what it is in Man.

The voters want to keep these
facts in mind when they vote or

HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT

London, July 11.-Mr. Lloyd
George, who spent the weekend
at Chequers Court with the pre-
miers of the British Dominions
returned to London this morning
to arrange final details for his
meeting with Mr.. De Valera
which may mark an epoch in the
relations of Ireland -and Great
Britain.
The truce between the Crown
Forces and the Irish Republican
army became effective at noon
today but there were apprehen-
sions that extremists on both
sides would be hard to control.
Yesterdays rioting in Belfast
during which at least Is persons
were killed and nearly 100 in-
jured aroused grave fears over
incidents which might happen
tomorrow, the anniversary OF
the Battle Of the Boyne.
It appeared today that conver-
sations between Mr.. De Valera
and the prime minister would re-
volve around the granting of do
minion status to Ireland upon
conditions that the Sim Fein
demand for the establishment of
an Irish republic would be aban-
doned.
There was a disposition to be-
lieve that once the conference
was under way some means OF
smoothing out present difficult
ties would be found. .

RETURN Of WHIPPING
POST IS ADVOCATED.

DENVER. Aug. 22.-G. y. So
Back to the whipping post?
Judge Lewis l.. Fawcett, of the su-
preme court of Brooklyn, n. Y. re-
Gently recommended the whipping
post as proper punishment for certain
types of criminals
Although the primary object of PEN
al law is the protection of society and
not the punishment of the criminal.
the Brooklyn judges theory finds
lodgment in the convictions OF two
well known Colorado judges.
Magistrate William A. Rice, veteran
local police judge, feels that the VIII D.
ping post must be used effectively for
offenders of the wife beating and
nan-family- supporting type. but says
such law should be hedged about by
guarantee that the accused receive a
fair and impartial trial. He says wo-
men are prone to make charges when
they themselves are often partici-
pants Of criminal conditions in the
home
Judge Royal r. Graham, of Greeley
feels that the whipping post is all
right for wife-beaters, but believes
that ordinary offenders should tackle
the states rock piles--not in compe-
tition with ordinary labor, but in work
that helps the state.
