chickens. Wo have known women
who have clothed tho entire family

and eome have paid off mortgages and
others have bought their homeB by
intelligent management of their

chickens Bhould get Higglo's Poultry
Book. It is so full of helpful sugges-
tions and short cuts to success and
has so many years of costly experi-
ence boiled down for its pages that it
is poor economy to bo without it. It

lowed after the motions for ball in tho
cases of Davis Youtsey Whlttaker an
Combs had been overruled.
Tho substance of Culton's testimony
was as follows:
"I had talks with Powers and Tay-
lor about bringing men. to Frankfort.
Taylor wanted about 25 witnesses from
Jackson county before the canvassing
board. I had another talk with Powers
Cecil Davidson Howard and others. I
did not tell the men who came with me-
that democratic legislators were to be
killed by raising a rowln the senate and
I never heard It discussed. When Berry's
contest was to Do voted on I heard It dis-
cussed that he was to retain his scat even
if voted out. I heard nothing said about
a plan to kill anybody."
Culton said W. R. Johnson wanted to
borrow Ms (Culton's) pistol.
"Henry Youtsey told mc that (Jocbel
would bo killed. I told him that It must
not be done. I told Governor Bradley
what Youtsey said and Bradley said: 'My
God this must not bo done.' Youtsey af-
terwards said there was nothing m it."
witness sam tnat on tnc uay atter '.tie
assassination ho was with Jim Howard In
the state house yard Howard called his
attention to a piece of paper posted In a
window.
"Well what of that' I usl.ed."
"Oh you have sense enough to under-
stand haven't you?" was Howard's re-
ply. He said Howard then took out of
his pockets some rifle buletj -and also
some 45-calblre pistol cartridges. How-
ard said "Don't ask any more fool ques-
tions." Henry Youtsey after the asslsslnatlon
asked tho witness where he was on the
day of the murder.
I told him I was up In the house lobby.
Youtsey asked mo how It would do for
him to say he was there with me. I told
Youtsey that I was afraid ho was going
to get Into trouble. Also that Grant Rob
erts Wanted to see him. Roberts had
missed his rifle and told m he believed
Youtsey had It. I told him he had better
see Roberts."
Tho witness told of another conversa-
tion with Youtsey who came with Bur-
ton of Breckcnrldgo county.
"Youtsey said he had tho greatest
scheme yet that Goebel could bo shot
from the secretary of state offlco and no-
body would ever know who did it."
Witness denied that ho had had a con-
versation with Miss Salllo Jackson in
which ho made statements damaging to
hlmsolf. "At a meeting In Powers' offlco
I presided and tho 'question of providing
boarding places for contest witnesses was
dlcusscd. B. B. Burton pulled out a hand-
ful of cartridges and said: 'A few of
these turned loose in tho proper placo
would soon settle this contest.'
"Caleb Powers said that If any such
..c
talk as that was to bo indulaed
would leavo th omeet'lng."
Culton testifies again tomorrow.

A SPANISH ADVENTURE.
In Spain tho lovely Nevada before
the war with the UnltoJ Statos was the
darling of the dona and donnas. Wh'jn
she passed along tho street. men would
throw 'their scrapes and women their
mantillas down f Dr her to tred upon.
They worsh prod hor with all tho ferven-
cy of thoso wflio aro nourished on the
blood of the grape. When sho sang they
wept In raptures. When tho last no;:s
of her magniflcont voice died away thun-
ders of applause shook tho theatre and
peoplo went wild In their enthusiasm.
Terrific was tho change however when
Nevada stopped upon the stago of tho
immenso theatre In Seville Sevllla Her-
mosa whero sho hud been more idolized
worshipped adored than over In Madrid
Itself that eventful night after tho decla-
ration of war with tho United States.
Tho 'hugo building was packod with a
seething mass of angry humanity curs-
ing American and the Amorlacns ques-
tioning with a buzz like that of ansry
bees tho tasto of la Americana" In
