Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Greatly
reduced fruit crops and loss of early
corn are certain. Reports from the
northwest indleate barley, oats, rye

not too late for re-seeding.
In Kansas, Missouri and Kentucky
snow Is expected to protect small
fruits and lessen loss on apples.
Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkan
sas reports show considerable dam
age has been done by the coldest late
April weather on record In those

Istwyer Rrmiwlii Supreme Justice*
That Itcitli Hovers Over Hencli.
WASHINGTON. O. C.. April 25 —
Shivers chased up and down the
spines of some of the spectators In
the Supreme Court of the United
States today wnen Holmes Conrad,
formerly solicitor general of the
United States, called to the attention
of the court the frequency of the
visits of death to that venerable
bench.
His plea that his case be decided
before more vacancies occur was
made in the suit of Virginia to com
pel West Virginia to bear a portion
of the state debt at the time the lat
ter state became a member of the
union. On behalf of West Virginia,
former Senator John C. Spooner had
asked the court to fix a date next
fall for argument of the suit. For
mer Attorney General Anderson of
Virginia, wanted the case argued
this spring. Mr. Conrad, on behalf
of the bondholders interested in the
litigation, urged that the case be
heard this spring.
As the counsel talked the faces of
the Justices hardened. Spectators
looked at one another. No one In
terposed a word, but a painful sus
pense ended when the speaker sat
down. Chief Justice Fuller merely
said the court would “take the
matter under consideration.”

With bis collar bone crushed and

reported much easier and grittily
declared intention to speedily get
back on the job, where his skill is an
important factor in the steady move
ment of things In connection with
the big industrial operations at the
pit.
Mr. Glynn sustained his injuries
Sunday night aB the result of a churn

Druggist's Testimony In
Hyde Case Not What Was
Expected; Miss Swope on
KANSAS CITY, April 25.—-There
was nothing harmful about the
strychnine tablet which Col. Swope
was accustomed to take, testified O.
G. Gentry, an Independence druggist,
in the Hyde murder trial today.
That the druggist filled a strych
nine prescription for James Hunton.
for many years, was brought out.
Also that Hunton induced Col. Swope
to take the medicine.
“This tonic,” said Mr. Gentry, "la
a general one for building up the sys
tem and adding red corpuscles to the
blood. It contains a small amount of
strychnine, but Is harmless.”
As he gave this testimony he held
In his hand a six ounce bottle of the
medicine. Proof that he had faith
in his own goods was not lacking, for
he occasionally uncorked the bottle
and took a drink of the contents.
Besides compounding this tonic,
Mr. Gentry said he Bold to Mr. Hun
ton many other kinds of medicines
which went into the Swope house.
None of them contained cyanide of
potassium or other poison in danger
ous quantities, he said. Dr. Hyde
i wrote some of these prescriptions.
On Dec. 9th, however, he said he
sold to some member of the Swope
: family two tubes of hypodermic
strychnine. This feature, particularly,
of the testimony of Mr. Gentry la
generally conceded to have been a
hard blow to the defense. By prov
ing Col. Swope's habit of taking a
tonic, the defense expected to ex
plain the presence of strychnine In
the body, but in this it is not consid
ered that they succeeded.
Dr. Hyde faced the first of his al
leged victims shortly after noon to
day, when Miss Margaret Swope took
the stand. The physician la Indicted
on three counts charging him with
poisoning her.
I No witness that has been before
the grand jury has interested Hyde
and his wife so much as this girl.
Both followed the witness closely this
afternoon and watched her carefully.
Miss Swope had Just begun to discuss
her illness when the court took ad
journment until morning.
Two hundred thousand dollars is
the amount, it is now estimated the
county will spend before the trial is
completed. Some attorneys in the
hearing believe the case will not go
to the Jury for five or six weeks.
Frank P. Walsh said tonight he
thought the testimony would be com
pleted within three weeks.

killed outright.
The drill had been pressed hard
all day and in the evening the mas
ter mechanic from a distance thought
that it did not seem to be running
Just as it should. Accordingly he
went to it to see what the trouble
might be, if any. He was Just about
to call to the driller to halt when the
frame toppled and the next instant
he was not in the calling class. Many
friends in the district will be glad
to know that his injuries are not se
rious and that he will be able to re
sume his duties in all likelihood at
early date.
