Friday night is the night of all nights throughout Christendom—the eve beiore Christmas—when Santa Claus peeps down the chimney of every childhood home. Millions of pairs of little eyes will refuse to close and eagerly will the ears listen to catch the tingle of the tiny dells attached to the scanty trappings of the reindeers. But the midgets must submit to the soothing of Morpheus, not to be aroused till early mourn— then the rush to the chimney corner where were kept suspended the hope- ful stockings. Many will be gorged to overflowing, others scantily filled and still others empty, “God pity the poor” is an expression as old as time. Christmas is for the rich and poor alike, but, oh, the pangs of latter!

DICT GUILTY ~ WAREMER CASE , (Continued from first page) irritable state. Dr. Jones said that abnormal did mot necessarily mean insane, . and that the defendant could keep on using 6 or 8 grains of morphine per day for ‘the rest. of his natural life without becoming insane; that he never became so dull from the use of morphine that he did not know what he was doing, and that morph- ine insanity would leave some pos- itive evidence of its presence. Attorney McCarthy gave the wit- mess a severe, examination lasting nearly four hours, but did not shake his testimony in the main. Dr. Stewart, of Duluth, was then called to the stand and practically corrobrated the testimony of Dr. Jones. When shown the hypordemic syringes found in the treasurery vault, Dr. Stewart said there were no signs of morphine in them. Dr. Sweeney, of St. Paul, was call- so confirmed the testimony of Dr. Jones. Dr. Sweeney said that he had examined Kremer at his office ember 2, 1909; that he had observed Kremer for the past week in court and that he felt certain he was not insane. He also testified that he had no doub* about Kremer being a habitual user of morphine. County Auditor Spang was asked} concerning a mortgage made out against himself in favor of Kremer for $1,500 on June 26, 1909, ‘and said that Kremer told him he was loan- ing the money for a Duluth party, but wanted the mortgage made out in his favor. Mr. Spang said that Kremer showed no signs of insanity at that time. Hon. C. C. McCarthy was called to the stand and testified to having ‘received two checks from Kremer amounting to $5,000 for a loan to August Johnson, of Coleraine,through | The A FOR LADIES Furs, 75c to Silk Scarfs $1.50 to. ..

Tuberculosis In Cattle. |fectious and Known by the formation in the | glands and other parts of the body }of small bunches called tubercles. | |It is from these tubercles that ‘the disease receives its name, Tubercu- | losis The germs of _ tuberculosis |enter the body by way of the nos-/ trils, in the air breathed, or by way ;of the mouth or digestive tract in |feed. As soon as the germs enter |the body they begin to multiply, |slowly but surely, until the entire} body of the animal becomes affect- ed; such animals spread the di- sease to other animals stabled with them and calves or pigs consuming milk from a tuberculosis cow are liable to become affected as are hu- man beings. All germ diseases, and especially tubreculosis, are more lia- | ble to affect animals that are in a} run down condition, such as cows |afflicted with infectous abortion or retained afterbirth, than those that are in a strong healthy condition, for the reason that the animals that lack vitality acts as a hot-bed for the germs of diseases to propagate jand multiply, while the healthy, |strong, vigorous animal may ward off the disease to some extent.. Tu- berculosis being largely a house or stable disease due to artificial life such as being housed or _ stabled, every possible precaution should be taken to prevent disease. One tub-| erculosis cow in a close, feul, hot, badly ventilated stable is liable to infect all other cattle in the barn. To prevent and guard against di- sease, it is mecessary to maintain communicable disease | ex-countv treasurer had He asked why the state had waited until the experts engag- Tuberculosis in cattle is an in-|ed in examining the accounts of the | the defense, also talking two and one very able existance of a shortage and express- ed the opinion that the funds in the possession of -the state would prove j ample to’ cover all the alleged short- | age. | not concluded before bringing action so that the exact) amount of the alleged short- age might be ascertained. Answer- ing the attack of the county attor- ney upon Mrs. Kremer, Mr. McCarthy asked what true and loyal woman would not stand by her husband dur- ing his hour of need and character- ized the attack as unjust and un- warranted. The attorneys conclud- ed their arguments at 6:30 p. m. Judge Stanton gave his charge to the jury at 10 o'clock Saturday morn- ing and confined his remarks to the Wegal aspects of the case. He in- structed the jury that one of three verdicts could be brought in; that of guilty, not guilty, or guilty son of insanity. The jury was then locked up and at 4 o'clock came in to have the testimony of Dr. Sweeney read to them. The jury was ou* 34 hours and at 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon Judge Stanton was summoned to the court house to receive their verdict. H. J. Cooper, of Coleraine, who was chosen foreman announced that the jury found Kremer guilty of mis- appropriation of public funds. The judge then thanked the jury and they were discharged. The jury was fully determined at the first ballot that Kremer was guilty, but it is re- ported that four of the jurors held out for some time, declaring he was guilty by reason of insanity. A un- animous decision was reached late Saturday evening, but one of the jurors was taken ill, so the balloting was postponed until Sunday afternoon by rea- absolute cleanliness. when a verdict of guilty was reached ET HER] Chocolate Set, $4.00.
