' How “Bert” Nortoni Turned a “Break” Into a Victory. New Cambria, Mo., Oct.17.—Whin “Bert” Norioui, now assistant United States attorney for the eastern jud'- cial district of Missouri, began the practice of law in New Cambria in 1891, he was engaged to defend Fount Wilson, accused of murder It was Nortoni’s first big criminal case, and he fought it as though his’ future staked on the result. The greliminary hearing was befor ‘Squire William Bennett at Calleo Che justice was old and somewhat vard of hearing. The gravity of the action suggested the calling in of the vther justive of the township, IF. M. Xeysjamuch younger man Almost very resiJent of Puzzle Ridge dis ret, where the accused lived came tc soe the lawanit, Nearly every question the prose suting attorney askid the witnesser vas objected to by the energetic law: yer forthe defense. By and by the prosecuting attorny called Pear, Morrow, who had been arrested with Wilson as accessory, but who wat willing to turn state’s evidence. Thr flery young lawyer for the defendant wason hisfeet in aninstant, denounc- ing the state’s move, ‘I am certait your honors will not permit this,” he said, indgnantly. “No court in the land would tolerate such an illega) proceeding, let alone a double-header such as we have here.” There was a loud laugh among the spectators, and though Squire Ben nett didn’teatch the term, he guessec that something reflecting on th court’s dignity had been uttered. & he whispered to his associate justic and the two went out to an ante room to talk it over privately, Th. court deliberated half an hour anc hen came back. “Mr. Nortoni,” said ’Squire Ben aett, “I understand you just now re ferred to my colleague and myself a: 4 ‘double-header.’ Will you please explain what you meant by that?” The appellation was a trifle flip- pant, and Nortoni appreciated the veriousness of the situation for his ‘lient it he did not right himself. He vas ready, however. “TVsarailroad term, Your Honor,” he said, “signifying double strength. Whenthey make up a big trainin the yards end one engine can’t haul it Ver Ube road they Look on ciuthe: me. Instead of one there are tw furnaces under the boilers, two safety valves popping off and two stack» hrowing out smoke and fire and cinders. A double-header always moves whatever it’s hitched up to; it always gets there; nothing stops it; it’s infallible.” Something akin to a smile spread over the aged jurist’s face. To be called a “double'header” wasn’t so bad after all. The attorney was for xiven and at the conclusion of the trlal Fount Wilson was discharged. Betrayed Son to Prison in Petty Spite. Isabella, Ok., Oct. 17.—James G. Fay, alias Oscar J. Van Slack, a prominent business man ofthis place, grain buyer for the firm of Robb & Co., of Kingfisher, and foremost in church work here, was arrested Sat urday as a convict escaped from the Arkansae penitentiary fuurteen years ngo. Yesterday an officer a rived from Little Ruck, Ark., and to-day started back to the pentientiary with his prisoner. The escaped convict was betrayed by his own father in revenge for be- ing worsted in a trivial domestic quarrel. Not only did the elder Fay betray his son, but he also claimea and received half of the reward of $25 that was offered for the latter’s arrest. Sixteen years ago, when a boy only 17 years of age, young Fay and two companions broke into a cloth- ing store in Little Rock, Fay’s share of the plunder obtained being a suit of clothes and an overcoat. Allwere apprehended, tried, convicted and sent to the penitentiary, Fay’s cen- tence being for four yeurs. He serv- ed two years of his time, being a model.

Graves, Circuit Judge: Pursuant to instructions given us by the Honorable Circuit Judge, we, the Grand Jurors, visited the County Poor Farm on Oct. 8th, 1903, and beg leave to make the following repori: Considering the system of manage- ment adopted by the Honorable County Court, together with the inadequate conditien of the premises, we feel that the person in charge, Mrs. Hall, is giv- ing reasonable and prudent attention to the unfortunate ‘nmates. If the Court deeuis it wise to continue the present system, we would recommend that more and better accommodations in the way of new buildings, ete., be provided, But we asa body, emphatically condemn the present system as being an entire failure in economy to the county and comfort to the inmates. The sanitary condition of the unfortunates could be greatly improved by providing a suita- ble bath tub and requiring the ininates to bathe at regular, stated periods. We consider it a disgrace and ashame for Bates county to treat her dependent poorin the manner they are treated, We are unanimously of the opinion that a competent Superintendent should be put in charge of the inmates, he to have the supervision of the entire landed es- tate belonging to the Farm and that be be provided with suitable teams and machinery to farm the lands together with cows, for milk, and hogs for meat, We further recommend that the in- mates who are physically able to work, be put to work caring for the stock and tilling the soil, and thus in a manner become self supporting, We believe that charity consists more in providing unfortunates with the means of earn- ing theirown living than it does in maintaining them in idleness. We fur ther recommend the fencing of the bur- ial ground at the Farm, and that a sub stantially bound book be kept, showing date of death of each one buried there, and that such record give age and form er residence of the deceased and that each grave be marked with a plain suit able stone which shall be numbered and kept in conformity with the record. On October 10th we visited the County jail and its surroundings and found the interior a model of neatness and cleanliness. The prisoners all said they were well fed on good and sub- stantial food. The exterior needs sone attention from the County Court. The leak at the southwest corner of the jail siould receive immediate attention We would further reccomend that the sewerage pipes be enlarged so that the) will not become clogged as at present. That a suitable tank be made to receiv: sewerage and prevent surface water from filling the cess pool, We visited the County offices and Ks kept in a neat legible manner, Hl. Pruiterek, Foreman. HOON LUC De ana Big British Order for lowa Chickens Davenport, la., Oct. 17 —A buye from Liverpool, England, who wa here this week inspecting the chicken fattening plant of Armour & Co, which has been running here for ce\* eral months, closed a contract fcr 500,000 pounds of prime chickers, which will take the entire output of the plant for several months. The plant bas acapacity of 11,000 birds and as it takes between two and three weeks to put a bird in shape for the block, it turns out 4,000 plump fowls every week. They are gathered up from all over the state and shipped hereto be fattened by ascientific ration. They are kept in reposeful quiet in the fattening pens, where, the experts say, they not only put on extra weight, but the entire texture of the flesh is cheng ed, making them plump and tender beyond the dream of the ordinary poultryman. An expert feeder watches for the slightest sign of sicknessin thecoop~. So delicate is the process of fattening that the chickens must be kept in perfect health or the gain of a week or two will be lost in a day. The chickens go from the block tu the picking table, where they are icked “dry,” and thence to the cool- 9 room, where thy are packed in boxes of two dozen fowls each. It will take 5,000 boxes to fill the Liverpool order, and the Davenport plant has opened the export trade to the Iowa chicken to a degree that was never before known.

They didn’t drive over by the regular road from the village, but landed from a boat and then walked through the woods and across lots up to Sagamore Hill. Neither knew the way, but they assured each other that they'd know the Roosevelt domain by the presence of secret service men. It occurred to them when they thought they were near the right place, though, that it wouldn't do any harm to inquire the way, so they walked across a field and up the steps to the back veranda of a fine-looking house, Not a secret service man was in sight around there, A man was sitting on the veranda, “Can you tell us,” asked one of the callers, “where President Roosevelt's house is?” “This is President Roosevelt's house,” replied the man on the porch, who hap- pened to be Senator Burrows, of Michi- gan, And before the callers could recover from their astonishment the president himself appeared at a screen door open- ing on tothe veranda, and said; “Good morning, gentlemen,” This was a case of two strangers ace cidentally stumbling upon the president without even first seeing a private sec- retary, let alone a secret service man. War Department to Own Langley Ine vention Which Experts Declare to Be a Success, An aerial train of cars. This is the exciting and fascinat- ing possibility of the “Langley fly- ng machine,” with which experiments have been conducted by Mr, S. P, Langley, C. H. Manley, and other gov- ernment experts for the last two months at Widewater, on the Poto- mac. The interesting information comes ‘rom Widewater that the principle of ‘he machine has been pronounced in- ‘allible by experts who were let into the secret, and who are not connect- vd with the government, The management of the machine as- serts positively that the delays have een due entirely to defective ma- ‘hinery, and not to questionable prin- ‘iples. The mode] of the mach'ne was een In actual flight by numerous per- ons, and the experts declared offi- fally to the Smithsonian Institution hat the flight was a succeas, It is estimated that with the full ‘ngine power the machine can be yropelied through the air at the rate vf 50 miles an hour, It will leave he ways at that rate, although the ini- ial velocity is made up partly by in‘ticl projectors from the little ‘allway by a power independent of he engine. The war department will practically ywn the perfected machine, and will ‘ventually use it for war purposes. STORY OF EDWARD VII. Ruler of British Kingdom “Gives Lift’ to Old Peasant Woman Bearing Bundle of Wood, A delightful story is gotng the rounds of Marienbad of an incident which is said to have happened when King Edward was out motoring on his recent visit. While his majesty was driving in the direction of Edger, he overtook an old peasant Woman, staggering along under the weight of a huge bundle of chopped wood. Perceiving the diffi- culty with which she plodided along, the king had his car stopped and asked her where she wanted to go. On being told, the king invited her to jump into his motor car. She, however, seemed to regard the ear with suspicion, and said che had never been in such a thing in her life. “Never mind,” said the “now's your chance.” But she still objected, and said she was too dirty to sit among fine gentle men. The king would have no refusal, and, having overcome her scruples, she climbed into the car and was whirled to her destination without the least idea who had befriended her, As the king set her down he pressed a gold piece into her hand. king; UNEARTH GRIM TRAGEDY, Skeletons Found Near Ancient Cone vent in Arizona Tell Tale of Apache Vengeance, Charles Milton, a mining man of Sonora, Arizona, and W.

New York, Oct. 17,—Announcemem was made at noon to-day that Ue: ed States Senator Thomas C, Platt and Mrs, Lillian T. Janeway were married at the Holland house lex Sunday. The Rev. Dr. Burrell pec- formed the ceremony in the presen of members of Mr. Platt’s and Mre. Janeway'’s families. The senatoe said to-day that he choose a private ceremony to avoid the crush and annoyance of a public wedding, Soe- ator and Mrs, Platt will leave ths city this evening for a short trip. Until the announcement, the fact that the senator and Mrs. Janeway were already married had not beet sven suspected. The opinion is gen ‘ral, however, that the early mar riage was-cuused by the advent inte the case of Miss Mae Wood, the #1,- 400 postottice clerk, who came to New York from Washington Monday to sue Senator Platt for breach at oromise to marry. Miss Wood now has disappored at fe fe ae lay. There is a general tendency o« che part cf all concerned to huet hings up.
