Yesterday the Merchants of El Reno
adopted a iisw policy. Nearly every
I business house ia the city offered bar-
gains in special lines, many articles
j being marked down to less than
I wholesale cost. These facts were
j advertised, and the crowds of farmers
un the streets yesterday attested that
[ the advertisements had been read and
I believed. People came from neighbor-
I ing towns and from all portions of
| the county. They bought extensive-
! ly, and merchants report an enormous
trade.
One of the objects of the merchants
■ in making the low prices which they
| did. was to induce more farmers to
| come to El Reno, in order that they
j might be convinced that they can
j save money by trading here. El Reno
is the great market center of this re-
! gion. Here there is always a market
I for the farmer's products, at the high-
est prices, and the large sales here
enable the merchants to give lover
prices than can he done where a lighter i
j business is transacted. This they are
I determined to do. and hereafter every |
! Wednesday will be made a special I
| sales day, when every article needed j
in home life can be bought at prices
I lower than ever before heard of.
JEFFERSON'S FUNERAL.
Body Will Be Laid Away at Buzzards
Bay. Sunday.
New York. April 27.—The body of
Joseph Jefferson, accompanied by sev-
eral members of the family, arrived
in Jersey City late yesterday from
Florida. Allached to the train was
the private car of Henry M. Flager,
in which were the members of the
Jefferson family and their servants.
The casket was taken to undertaking
rooms on Eighth avenue and later to
Ihe Grand Central statiou. where it
was placed aboard the midnight Bos-
ton train. Members of the family
occupied berths In one of the sleepers
attached to the train.
The funeral will be held on Sun-
day at Buzzards Bay. Interment will
be in Bayview cemetery at Sandwich,
Mass.. where Mr. Jefferson recently
purchased a burial plot.
When the casket was lifted from
the baggage car, it was concealed in
a large transportation box, which was
covered with masses of roses and flor-
al pieces. It was lowered on the ele-
vator to the baggage room, where the
casket was taken from the transporta-
tion box and placed in a hearse. The
family in carriages followed the heprs
to the Twenty-third street ferry boat,
on which the party came to Manhat-
tan.

St. Louis, April 27.—As the closing i
act in the world's fair, the Ferris
wheel is to be destroyed with dyna-
mite. After every structure s|iall
have been torn down and every possi-
bility of danger removed, one of the
giant supports of the great wheel will
be loosened and a large charge of i
dynamite placed under the other main j
leg. When this is exploded the en-1
gineers who plan the job believe the
great wheel will come down on its I
edge, totter for a moment, then fall [
into a heap of scrap iron.

a ripple of comment and surprise in
the court room, although it was the
dramatic moment of the trial. Stern
also failed to identify Nan Patterson
or Mrs. Smith as the woman who ac-
companied the man that purchased the
revolver. Smith had been brought
from jail to confront Stern, ami after
the latter's testimony Smith was
taken back to the Tombs
Kiotous scenes attended the opening
of the court room for the afternoon
session. Women and men fought to
| get past the police. Several women
fainteil and many had their dresses
torn. Throughout the entire day Nan
Patterson followed the testimony
with more intense interest than on
previous days and when adjournment
was announced she caressed her fath-
er and said, "this has been a good day
for me."
Only two important witnesses for
the prosecution—Caesar Young's wid-
ow and his racing partner, John Mill-
er. remained to be examined when the
trial adjourned yesterday afternoon.
Prosecutor Rand announced that by
noon today the state would close its
case. Abraham Levy, senior , coun-
sel for th'e defense, will then ask for
an adjournment for the day, and if It
is granted, the opening speech for the
defense will be made by Henry W.
Unger on Friday.
Mrs. Smith was on the stand only
a moment. She was asked to identi-
fy a letter addressed to Ada Patterson
as written by her sister, Nan. This
she did.
The story of the meeting between
Young and Miss Patterson ill Harlem
the night before the tragedy was told
by William Luce. Young's brother-in-
law. Young was at his house In West
One Hundred and Fortieth street and
they went out together about 11
o'clock . They met Miss Patterson in
Eighth avenue. Luce said lie left
Young and Miss Patterson together
and went home with the understand-
ing that he would meet them an hour
later. At 1 o'clock he returned and
all three went to a saloon. "We got
into there about a quarter past two
o'clock.*' said Luce, "and a quarter to
three they came over to the table
where I sat. They hart been together
nearly two hours and were angry and
quarreling."
"Did you hear any of the conversa-
tion?"
"I heard Young say he would get
her a cottage."
"When they came over to your table
what was the conversation about?"
"About Young's going away. The
defendant said she knew the boat he
was going to sail on, and said that he
could not get away from her. Young
offered to bet her $100 that she could
not name the boat but she replied that
she would not please him to do so.
She said Young could not hide from
her, and if he got down in the hold of
the ship she would find him and pre-
vent him from sailing."
Luce said lie saw Young before he
left home on the morning of June 4.
He said he was going out to get shav-
ed and buy a new hat, and that he
would join his wife at the steamship
pier. Luce, in reply to a question by
Mr. Hand, denied that he purchased I
the revolver al Stern's pawnshop.
Bernard L. McKean. another broth-
er-in-law of Young, told of efforts
made by Young early In May to get
Miss Patterson to go to Europe. He i
said she first promised to go abroad
but afterward refused to sail, claiming
she was in a delicate path and would
have to undergo an operation. Mc-
Kean also told of Julia Smith's let- |
ter to Young falling into Mrs. Young's I
hands. The intercepted letter was
destroyed by the defendant and Young
in his presence. McKean said that
Miss Patterson declared that it had
caused all the trouble. He said that
Young had arranged to supply Miss
Patterson with all the money she
needed, through the witness. "She
would not listen to this arrangement,"
said McKean. "She said she did not
want to go away from Frank."
