As to who the dark-complexiuaed man fs, however, they have no idea. A peculiar point was ralsed at the Cooper home Thursday evening on the subject of whether or not Crowe wote a mustache when he called to buy the pony. Mrs. Cooper losists that he did pot, while her father, Danfel Burris, 18| ‘equally positive that he did. Both saw and spoke with him on those occasions, so they had an equal opportunity of observing, but they can’t agree on the point. Crowe has been identified by four persons besides those living at 3319 Grand avenue. They are B. K. Munshaw, Mrs. Joseph Schoeld- erwind and the two Misses Patrick, who live in Happy Hollow. These incline to the bellef that he woroe a “blonde mustache, | quite long at the ends’' Mrs. Fred E.| Pearl of South Omaha, however, who has known Crowe for twenty-five years, insista that on December § she saw and spoke with | him, and especially remarked at the time that his face was smooth. Aefde from this one feature the descriptions given by the witn#ses agroe in overy essentinl point. | Chief Denabue is of the opinion that one | set of vitnesses is mistaken in the matter of the mus that. Crowe’s mustache, being blonde, weuld be less noticeable than ab k mustache, and that several of the persons who spoke with him simply failed teo take note of It. Of the two photographs of Pat Crowe which were selected by Mrs. Cooper, one | was a rogues’ gallery picturo and was taken | seven years ago when Put was wearing quite a heavy mustache. The other be had taken last April when he was smooth- shaven. Tho mustache seems to make very little’ difference in his-faclal appearance. | It 1s a curipus fact, however, that he looks younger in the picture taken last April than in the ove taken seven years ago. CROWE'S WOMAN IN CHICAGO Windy Haun City Omahn Bad Man, CHICAGO, Ded. 28 —(Special Telegram.)- Love for a Chicago woman, at present un- der watch by a host of ventral station de- toctives, may prove the undoing of Pat Crowe, tho desperado wanted by the Omaha | police om tha charge thet he is the kidnaper of E. A, Cudaby's boy. In the belief that | Crowe Will be found fn communication woner or later with his sweetheart hero Peter Joyce, acting. chief of dotectives, placed four detectives this afternoon on duty near the well-known baunts of the woman with whom Crowe bas been infatu- ated for years. I'rom the report in Joycd's possession to- night he eald he folt justified in announc- ing some startling discoveries. It had been proved beyond question during the day's in- vestigations that the woman who, under the name of Nellie Divine, hired the house at Omaba in which the Cudaby boy was im- prisoned pending the payment of the 000 ransom, I in Chicago. It is she whom the detectives have under constant survell- Iance, assured that through a close espionage of her movements the arrest of Crowe and the reward of §26,000 for his capture will be secured According to Acting Chiet Joyce the iden- tification, of (he Chicugo woman as Nellie Divine, with whom Crowe has been allled for years, 15 found to e complete in every detall. The woman accomplice of Crowe In the successtul kidnaping exploit at Omaha had a glass eye. So has Crowe's Chicago sweetheart, Joyce eays. In a quarrel over the division ‘of the spolls of a jewelry rob- bery the Chicago friend of Crowe had one eve gouged out by anotherywoman. It is aix years since this affray took place and the names of the participents Mr. Joyce would not disclose. But from other sources 1t wad learned that the women were Nora Keating and Lily Vail, the Iatter being the supposed sweotheart of irowe, though her real name is known to be other than Vail. That Crowe's Woman accomplico In the Cudahy kidnaping should be found to have reached Chicago 18 regardéd in police circles ns affording corroboration to Detective Ser- geant’ Storen’s clalm that clews indicating Crowe's recent presence in Englewood have been discovered. Among the later clues In Joyce's possession are several threads leading to- the still more significant con- tlusion that not only Crowe, but also much of the $25,000 plunder from the Cudahy Xldnaping reached Chicago from Omaha wbout the same time as Crowe's sweetheart. Crificism of the Omaha police for thelr Iallure to request the arrest of Crowe if found here was freely expressed by Lieu- tenant Joyce and his subordinates. In a bunch of telegrams recelved by the Chicago detoctive department from Omaba, Chiet Donahue only requests the local men to find Crowe and not a word asking for his arrest can be found.

HERLIHY IS PUT ON TRIAL New York Police ¢ Rev, Mr. tain, Accused by NEW YORY, Dec. 25.—The trial of Po- lice Captain Merlihy by the Board of Po- lice Commissioners on the charges of neg- lect of duty, conduct unbecoming an of- ficer and fallure to keep proper records was begun today. The prosecution was reprosented by ex-Judge Olcott. Judge Roger A. Pryor and Louis J. Grant, who is accused with Herlihy, but to have a separate trial, was represented by an attorney. The principal charge is that Herlihy and Cross were discourteous to Rev. Robert L. Paddock of the Episco- pal pro-cathedral Rev. Mr. of importance. He sald he had been re- peatedly sollcited by several women near the pro-cathedral, which is in the precinct of which Herlihy formerly had charge. On April 26, accompanied by Rev. James H. George, he wald he had caused the arrest of a lookout for disorderly houses and went to the station where the man was 'ocked up. According to the witness, Herlihy said the minister was a disgrace to his cloth and that he lied when he said dfsor- derly houses were running openly in the precinet. The “lookout,” witness said, was discharged in police court. “Later T called on Inspector Cross," sald Mr. Paddock, “in company with Mr. George, and told him I wanted to see him alone. He nsked me if it was something about his district. ‘Yes,' I sald. ‘Well,' he replied, ‘you must say what you have to say in the presence of the eaptain.' 1 told him I had been trying to police in closing up the immoral houses; that I had been to patrolmen, roundsmen. detectives and captains, but that the con- ditions had gone so far that my own lif2 had' been threatened. a5 to what I should do. He refused give me any advice. I then told him I would have to go to his superfor. The in- &pector then advised me to present charges. Captain Herlihy said he would advise me to present charges and that he would show me up as responsible for these conditions. Inspector Cross sald to me also that I was most unreasonable in what I wanted and that T would not be satisfled with Paradis “‘I told Gross that it was evident his ad- vice was usel to me and that through him ¥ could not prefer charges.* . ‘The cross-examination then began by At- torney Grant. “Did you ever offer to identify any per- son who you alleged had done wrong in your presence?”’ he usked. “1 ad. “Captain Herlihy took immediate action in the case, didn't he?"” “Yes." “Did you ever offer to go to court and make a sworn complaint?" “1 did not." The witness sald that he could give no specific date and apply It to a specific case of misconduct. . After some further testimony on the part of Mr. Paddock the hearing went over un- til_next Thursday. Mr. Olcott sald that he had purposely avolded going into-details with the Rev. Mr. Paddock; with the exception of the in- cldents in the Eldredge street station and Inspector Cross' office, as he had plenty of evidence to show the conditions that existed In the precinct without compelling the Rev. Mr. Paddock to tell them.

Most of the wheat area Is devoted to the hard winter wheat, from seed originating In southern Russia, the | area harvested in 1900 being 4,268,704 acres, while the numbor of acres of epring wheat was only 109,829, a little lees than one-for- tieth of the winter wheat, the spring wheat district being almost entirely fa the north- ern or more particularly the northwestern counties.

Not all portions of the state are adapted to the best production of wheat, and it 1s an Interesting fact that fifty-four of the 1 counties bad 90 per cent of the wheat acre- age In 1899, and constitute practically the wheat fleld of Kansas. Tho area sown in the remaining fifty-one countios was less than the acreage sown in the fwo countles of Sumner and Barton. It I3 likewlise of n- terest to know that practically one-halt of the wheat product for 1900 was harvested in & block of sixteen counties, comprising the central third of the state. Taking the years one with another corn s the king of cultivated plants in Kansas, Tt was not, howaver, the premier crop in 1900, Grown in profuse luxuriance this grain pro- claims Itself the source of wealth and herald of opulence. It s at once the farmer's friend and handmaiden of the stockman’s prosperity. Corn proves itselt n rource of greater wealth and profit in Kansas than ny other cultivated grain, and in years of speclally favoring conditions ite value has often equaled the combined values of all other farm crops. Justly famed as many of the state's wheat crops have been statistics reveal that in the last quarter of a century the aggregate value of the corn crop has been very mearly double that of the com- bined crops of winter and spring wheat, and further that in but one year of the state’s history has the value of the wheat crop approached in magnitude that of the same year's corn. Great as have been the ylelds of corn in former years the most en- thusiastic and insistent Vellever in Kansas resources will not maintain that all por- tions of the state are well adaped to its successful production. The corn crops of the last thirty years have been grown mainly in the eastern half of the state, and no one pretends that the western third of the state is especlally or rellably corn- growing territory. The corn crop of the season of 1900 was 134,523,677 bushels, valued on the farms where grown at $39,581,835. Value of the Corn Crop.

For yeers Kansas flouring mills have con- signed heavy shipments of their products to leading markets throughout the United States and to forelgn covntrles, where it is recelved with much favor. Millstuffs, such as bran and shorts, find a ready market both at home and abroad and thelr feeding value is evident, for they are in constant use on almost every Intelligently conducted farm and in the feeding lot, where they have come to be regarded as necessities.

Here are the grains and fodders grown in wonderful pro- fusion and with the luguriant pastures, pure water, mild winters and nearness to market are combinations making Kansas pre-eminently a live stock reglon. Statis- ties substantlate all this and according to figures collected and compiled by the State Board of Agriculture it is shown that there has been from its begianing a most grati- fylng advance made in the animal popui tion and owing to the intelligence and en- terprise of its farmers and stockmen there has likewise been remarkable improvement, until today, both in numbers and superior breeding of farm animals, the state occu- ples an exalteéd and enviable position. Among its sister states Kansas ranks bigh and favorsbly in the number of hort milch cows, other cattle, swine, etc., and while in sheep some may excel in numbers ihere are none whose flocks of fine wools are more favorably known among breeders, wool buyers and wool manufac- turers for large yields and superior qual ity of product than those reared here, famed far and wide for heavy fleeces of fine texture and innumerable winniugs of prizes over world-defying competition. The heaviest authenticated year's growth ot wool, by en and one-half pounds, ever shorn was taken from a 4-year-old Kan: merino ram, welghing, without artificial welghting, ffty-two pounds. It also seems to be a fact that the heaviest elght fleeces, regating 301% pounds, ever sheared from a sheep In elght consecutive years were produced by a Ka ram, makiug & yearly average of 37.7 pounds; a ewe In this same flock sheared an aggregate of 1643 pounds of wool In six fleeces, which 18 belleved to be the heaviest yield ever obtained from a ewe in six consecutive years, in two of which she produced con- cutlvely the two heaviest fleeces ever taken from one of her sex, belng 32% and 81% pounds, respectively. These were all merinos, but profitable focks of the vari- ous mutton breeds are also maintained. Some of the horses most noted for speed, endurance and striking excellence, marvels of the equine world and matchle: have been fouled or reared beneath the skies of Kansas. The pacing stallion John R.

Porhaps, however, wider attention Is given to the breeding of tie types especially adapted to draft and sim- flar purposes, and in the last few years re howed and added interest in this particular industry has been apparent. Marca 1, 1900, there were 786,888 horses in the state, valued at $39,344,400; also of mules ani assses 889,064 head, worth $5,343,840 The state's greatest animal wealth lies in its herds of cattle and swine, which year ounty, Kfusas, as was his only after year steadily bring to their producers | 4 profitable recompense for intelligent in- dustry.

With her numerous varieties of grains and grasses some one or more of them being especlally adapted to and prospering the varient conditions of the different lo- calities, the state le each year practically assured of a wellnigh uniimited supply of the very best meat-producing foods which are largely aud profitably marketed via the live stock route. Animals slauglit- ered for meat or sold for that purpose alono represented over $54,000,000 in one year ending March 1, 1990, and annually for the last ten years Kansas has given to the shambles animals having an average home value of considerably more that $42,500,000, or an aggregate of over $427,000,000. In this connection it is entirely just and proper to correct an erroneous impression that has somehow hecome widespread, and that is that the great stockyards and g!- gantic slaughter and packing houses of Kansas City, with one exception the most extensive in the world, located in, main tained and made possible by the state of Kansas, are not now and never were 1a Missouri, us many are led to belleve, but in Kansas City, Kan., the state’s metropo- s, As a matter of fact, the latest avail able statistics show that in a chosen year Kansas furnished six times as many as its closest competitor, and often more and very seldom ever less than 50 per cent of the entire number of cattle received at the Kaneas Clty stock yards each year, not to | speak of sheep and nwine. The helpful hen has also been unfailing in her substantial contributions to the stite's wealth, and the amounts received each twelve months from the surplus of poultry and eggs have in- creased until n.1900 it reached $5,060,332, or a sum that would considerably more than have paid the total expense of the excellent school system for the same time. The figures in the table below, showins for tne last five years the total value of the products of Kansas live stock, to-wit: Animals slaughtered or sold for slaughter, wool clip, butter and cheese manufactured, and poultry, eggs and milk sold, disclose a marvelous record: 1897, 1898 1899 1900, -8 45,210,214 46,982,023 Total . $280,161,697 These well suggest the significance of live stock and meat production as factors in Kansas agriculturo and Kansas prosperity.

More attention, therefore, 15 be- ing given to a diversity along agricultural lines, and quite naturally many have taKen to cow culture. Kansas |s admirably suiteq to the profitable pursuit of dairying. Oun her productive solls can be raised unlimited supplies of the best flesh and milk-pro- ducing foods at incomparably low cost; her meadows and pastures furnish nutritious and succulent grasses in abundance and wide varlety, and the winters are short and mild, thereby making long-time shelter- ing and expensive indoor feeding and care less a necessity The corn, Kaflir corn and other sorghume, alfalfa, clover and grasses produced here in great profusion, and, witn the brans from our wheat, are i large measure the ideal cheap raw material for manufacturing on the farm, by means of the cow, commodities that afford a ready money income every month, Dairying, largely, and methodically con- ducted, 13 comparatively a new feature in the agriculture of Kansas. Prior to 1890, the systematic production and market- iug of butter and cheese was given at best only desultory attention, and those identl- fled or somewhat famillar with this in- dustry then did not, as a rule, esteem the returns therefrom of sufficient volume or importance to warrant the outlay of any considerable sum of money for improvement and extcnaion along that line. The institution of skimming stations, creameries and cheese factorles, be- gun some ten years since, has from the first pointed out that the use of better cattle was well-nigh imperative to make the business profitable and at the same time secure a product of superior quality. Through persistent endeavor to have dairy herds of high grades, if not pure bloods, the farmers and dairymen have been continually eliminating the more unprofie- able animals, and statistics for a period or five years, ending with 1896, show that the number of milch cows in the state de- creased more or less in each of those years while this vigorous campaign of improve- ment was being waged, but the figures also show that the value of thelr product, In- stead of correspondingly decreasing, has actually increased In three of the five years, thus making apparent that improvement in the milch cows has been a most potent factor in advancing the dairy Interests ot Kansas, and today the state boasts many excellent, high-ylelding herds, ‘The 1900 aggregate value of butter and cheese made and milk sold for other pur- poses was $7,469,603, the largest in the history of the siate, being 12.3 per cent more than in the preceding year. Creameries Are Profitable, Scores and scores of creamerics at first established as questionable experiments are now permanent, profitable institutions, and produce butter and cheese In increasing quantities and of export quality. Admirable natural roads, passable everywhero throughout the year, enable the producer to bring his supplies to the stations or fac- torles regularly. The use of new and im- proved mochinery and the presence of rival companies with large capital insure eager acceptance of the milk and a profitable cash remuneration each month of the year to the producer, whether marketing the product of one cow or of 1,000, The mar- kets of the whole country are avallable the year through, modern transportation and refrigerating facllities insuring the. prompt delivery of goods In perfect condition for the dealer or the table. To such an extent 1 this true that within the past two years many carldads of Kansas butler have found remunerative demand in transatlantic mar- kets.

Contnining Deafte and Nej able Paper to (he Amount of #100,00 s Ripped Open, DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 28,—A mail pouch containing $100,000 in negotiable paper and an unknown amount of money was stolen from the Michigan Central railrond pas- senger station at Wyandotte, Mich., time lost night. The last mail for andotte arrives at 10:25 on the Michigan Central, and owing to the lateness of the hour it is left in the station until morn- ing. When the two mail sacks were thrown from the train last night Night Operator Richard threw the pouches under a seat in the corner of the waiting room. He then went to his home in Detroit. Today when Mail Carrier John McCleary came to the station for the mail sacks he missed one. About the same time George Bessy, a driver of an oil wagon, reported at the station that a pouch, ripped open and empty, was bo- hind an oll tank a short distance from the station. A little later two employes of the J. B. Ford Alkall works found a num- ber of checks and opened envelopes strewn along the railroad track. Postmaster John- son of Wyandotte was notified and went at once to the scene. The trail of the thiet was marked along the railroad track by strown letters, checks and drafts. Most of the mall was intended for the J. B. Ford com- pany, and a force of clerks were sent out to collect the letters strewn along the track. The reason for this activity on the part of the J. B. Ford company was that J. B. Ford, Jr, sald he expected a draft today from New York for $40,000. The draft aid not come and it is belleved that the robbers took it, with other valuable papers, from the pouch.

Minnock, a former wit- ness, was recalled and testified that the sheet was twisted about Hilliard's throat on Wednesday by Davis. He described the twisting of the sheet about Hilliard's neck, after the fashion known among sailors as “the Spanish windlass." “If this testimony is true this takes this e out of the category manslaughter and makes it one of murder.” sald Assistant District Attorney Melntire. “It estab- lishes premeditation.
