DARNELL IS GUILTY

MUST ANSWER FOR “WHITE SLAVERY” CHARGE. Whole Contention Rests on Defendant ancf the Young Woman Were Married. Milwaukee, Wis., May 14.—Ruth Soper is not the wife of Rev. James Morrison Darnell, wherefore he is guilty of violating the Mann act in taking her from her home in Owatonna, Minn., to Kenosha. That was the verdict returned by the jury which had been listening to the minister’s trial in the United States district court. the jury went out at 12:45 o'clock and its finding was read before Judge Geiger at 3:55. While waiting to learn his fate Darnell said 5 to Marshal H. A. Weil: “Some people say we are descended trom monkeys. I know I’m not descended from a monkey. I am a lineal descendant of Balaam’s ass—of that very one.” , Ten years in the penitentiary and a fine of SIO,OOO is the maximum penalty that may be inflicted. Darnell was tried on eight counts, diftdad into two groups covering two charges. Upon Ruth Soper’s wifehood Darnell’s case depended. The court made that plain in his instructions. Ruth herself had made valiant efforts on the witness stand to prove her status as Mrs. Darnell, and Darnell’s lawyers strove hard to build upon her story a legal connubial structure. But the jury, composed principally of farmers and men from small towns, refused to accept the former Univer eity of Chicago co-ed as the minister’s wife. i.

J. G. Andrus Writes From the Michigan Fruit Belt. J. G. Andrus writes The Democrat from Shelby, Mich., in renewing his subscription, and says: “We had some very warm weather through April, average about 85 degrees. It made the fruit growers very uneasy. The trees came in bloom unusually

ECHOES FROMMONTICELLO Monticello Happenings Always Interest Our Readers. After reading of so many people in our town who have been cured by Doan’s Kidney Pills, the question: naturally arises: “Is this medicine equally successful in our neighboring towns?” The generous statement of this Monticello resident leaves no> room for doubt on this point. Mrs. George Howell, N. Main St., Monticello, Ind., says: “I suffered off and on for two or three years from attacks of kidney and bladder complaint. Sharp twinges often darted through my kidneys and sides and were followed by a dull, nagging ache in the small of my back. The kidney secretions were unnatural and I had headaches. I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pills and they quickly relieved me, toning up my system. I have since then enjoyed good health.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t Simply ask for a kidney remedy-—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Howell had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Advt.

early, but everything is looking fine for a good fruit crop. Had a fine rain Monday and yesterday, which done lots of good, as it was getting very dry for grass and pasture. “There is lots of money going up in the air now in spraying dope. We have to spray four or five times during the summer. It makes lots of work trying to raise fruit and farm. Keeps us a-going. Potatoes have dropped down to 20c per bushel, some have held on too long, I am afraid. They were 35c the first of April. “It never got any colder than 3 oi 4 below zero on this side of the state, along the lake; but, oh my, the snow was so deep. We are right in the snow belt. The ground was not frozen under the snow where it was level.”

Gas in Springs.

New Zealand has many mineral springs percolated by a natural inflammable gas. At some of the spas, not only is the mineral water used for bathing and drinking purposes, but the natural steam is used for vapor baths, and the whole establishment- is lighted, its rooms warmed, and its meals cooked by the natural gas.—Argonaut.
