There was no abatement of her ordeal today, and as the burden of testimony grew heavier, she shrank visibly and a look of pain came into her eyes. At other times she smiled broadly, shook her head in amused denial, and several stared the witness out of countenance.

Topeka, June the trial of Fred D. Warren in the court at Fort Scott for violating postal laws, the jurors who found him guilty are receiving threatening letters from socialists over the country.

Many socialists are angry because of the conviction of Warren, who is connected with the Appeal to Reason. His paper printed a list of the jurors and claimed that the government had "packed" the jury. In this way his supporters over the country got hold of the juror's names and wrote them abusive and threatening letters. The government will not only prosecute those who sent threatening letters through the mails but also will go after the Appeal to Reason for libel in connection with the charge that federal officials "packed" the jury, WAS GREATEST AMERICAN.

Ingersoll as the greatest American of his time is stated in a letter just made public by Mrs. Eva Ingersoll Farrell Brown, a niece of Mrs. Ingersoll.

In 1900 Mrs. Brown wrote Swinbourne requesting his autograph, and the poet replied thanking her "for the pleasure given me by the knowledge that your uncle, Colonel Ingersoll, the man whom, above all others, I should have hoped and wished to meet if I visited America during his life time, found something in my work worthy of his regard or sympathy." Similar sentiments were expressed in a letter to Mrs. Brown from the late George Meredith, the English novelist. Mormons Barred. Three Mormons came into White City Wednesday and applied to our mayor for permission to hold meetings in the streets and distribute their literature.

Their request was refused. We believe the mayor did the right act in refusing these men permission to promulgate their dangerous doctrine' in this community. -White City Register. WANT IT THEMSELVES. British Ask America to Refuse to Make Foreign Loan.

Wilson, charged with incest. The verdict was rather a surprise and it 1 is reported that on the first ballot the jurors stood ten for conviction and two for acquittal, but that the two finally swung their associates around to vote for acquittal. From the evidence of Lovey North a daughter of Wilson's sister, and therefore his niece, Wilson was clearly guilty, but there were circumstances connected with the case that helped Wilson out. The North girl is twenty years of age and has been the mother of three children, only one of them living now however. She was married when young but her husband lived with her only a.

week. Her first child was born when she was about fourteen years old. It appeared from the evidence that her stepfather was the father of her second child. Wilson said that he brought the girl away from Kansas City and was taking her to her grandmother in order that she might be protected from the bestiality of her stepfather. The testimony of the girl though was to the effect that Wilson's relations with her were exactly the same as those of her stepfather.

Concerning Wilson's guilty relations with the girl there could be no doubt under the evidence but the jury turned him loose. After a hearing before Judge King in the Dixon trustee case this morning, court adjourned until the November term. Practically all of the civil cases on the docket were continued for the term. Kenneth Joyce, the soldier who knocked down Mrs. Walton, was sentenced to serve sixty days in jail.

Four divorces were granted by Judge King, there being no contest in any of the cases and being the charge in each. The divorces granted were as follows: Edith May Sherman from George T. Sherman. Elizabeth Gist from Joseph Gist. Lizzie Montgomery from Henry Montgomery.
