It is probably late In tbo season to attempt to save the remaining quail in this Bection, but the gupgestions in an artiole elsewhere printed are excellent and should be remembered and an effort made next year, if not this, to pnt them in practice. Sportsmen should organize and in voke the aid of farmers in protect ing and preserving quail. Farmers as a rule do not hunt much and hence are not especially interested in caring for them, but those who do hunt and desire to find game should be willing to put forth some time, and, if necessary money, in order to ensure the life of the few remaining birds. Were such means taken there is no doubt that quail would soon be greatly multiplied here. The Hatchet Society Supper at the Presbyterian church parlors next Monday evening promises to be a tnostenjnyable occasion. The supper will be up to the high water mark which has characterized those pre ceding, and the reception is a good plaoe at which to meet friends and neighbors and with the cheer which accompanies a well fed feeling, dia enss topics of mutual interest and then go home with the satisfaction of having spent a most delightful and profitable evening.

OBITUARY winq nn.icn woonwAitt) kf.i.i.am Miss Helen Woodward Kellnfti died Fobrunry 13th, 1904, at the residence of her nephew, Dr. L. P. Cook of Ilawley, Wayne county. Pa., where she had been visiting during the Inst few weeks. She is survived by the following slaters: Amelia K, Hardonhurg of Bufferns, N Y., Laura B. Langan of South Bethlehem, Pa., and Mrs. Lucy A. Williams, wife of C. E. Williams of Paupack, Pa., and one brother, II. Clay Kellam of Rah way, New Jer sey. 8he was born ' at Pnnvmclr, May 16, 1837, and was a daughter of the late Daniel D. and Margaret M. Kellam. Bhe was descended fro n a noted paternal ancestry, who were among the first settlers of this beautiful Wallen Panpack region, and active participants in tha early straggle for independence in the stirring and trying period of revolutionary times, she inhorited much of that rugged nature which goes to make men strong and woman great. She was herself the very soul of hospitality, a kindly disposition and inherent qualities of pure minded ness accompanied her to the end. Many whom she has befriended in times past can testify to her gentle helpfulness in seasons of sickness or distress. She spent her entire life on the old homestead at Paupack with her own people and where Bhe was born, which is now, and has been during the twenty years last pnst owned and occupied by 0. E. Williams, a brotherinlaw. Hor many good qualities of mind and heart, endeared her to a large oirole of relatives and friends who will ever hold her in pleasant re membrance, and affectionately speak her name in time to come. Interment was made February 16th in tha cemetery at Paupack beside her kindred dead, among whom is a brother, Sergeant Franois R. Kellam, late of Company C. 67th Regt. Pa. Vol. b. f. k.

THE JAGGER MURDER TRIAL Address of Prosecutor Huston Clos ing State's Case Prosecutor Henry Huston in an extremely able address closed the case for the state at 11.50 Tuesday morning. He in prt snid, This case sets forth the most horrible and brutal murder ever committed in this county or state The law presents every safegnnrd for the punishment of the guilty, and the protection of the innocent. Th accused has the right to reject jurors, and to be tried by a jury of his peers. The state goes further, it throws the protection and the power of the stale about the accused, and secures to him all the rights that he could avail himself of were he possessed of wealth. If your con science responds to the evidenoe that he is guilty you are to convict ; Tha punishment will be meted out by the Court. It is claimed by the defense that the state bus not produced the evi dence to sustain motive as outlined in the opening. You are to consider that the motive was proved by the state of the defendants mind. Peo ple were able to make their way quite readily that night, aud no one could have went far so early in the night unless he were from the im mediate neighborhood. It was done by a good shot, who fired one shot through one pane and directly a shot through the other paue, show ing 6 buckshot in one charge and 9 in the other, and had Bovans' head been turned at right angles the bullet would have entered his head and proved fatal. Never did a lot o witnesses ap pear in that witness box, whose evidence was given in a more truth ful aud dignified manner than that given by those boys from Dingmans. True tiny did not exactly agree as to the tracks, line upon line, but they did agree in matorlal facts, and that was tn support of their testi mony. As to the track as indicated on the map, it was good footing, on comparatively the easiest way, out side of the road. The state has shown that the tracks were fitted to shoes that George Jagger has not denied that he wore. Those tracks were not materially altered by the slight freeze. We find him on that day with the Kitchen door locked, a most unusual thing among farmers. If he wanted to hide the snares he had ample time to do so before opening the door. Litts' description of the re loading shells with coarser shot was a very natural thing to do. Ue did not really need a stamper or plunger he could pull out the crimp, take out the wad, put in the paper and orimp again with his fingers without a tool. What was the motive, or where was the least reason to sup pose that Litts should say what he did unless it were true. Why should he manufacture the, story. If he did he is a worse man than George Jagger. There is no evidenoe that he is untruthful and if there had been the defense would have pre sented it to you. Dr. Hughes had if. ,n - r Don't forget the old man with the fish on his back. For nearly thirty years he has been traveling around the world, and is still traveling, bringing health and comfort wherever he goes. To (he consumptive he brings the strength and flesh he so much needs. To all weak and sickly children he gives rich and strengthening food. - To thin and pale persons he gives new firm flesh and rich red blood. Children who first saw the old man with the fkh are now grown up and have children of their own. He stands for Scott's Emul .ion of pure cod liver oil a delightful food and a natural tonic fijr children, for old folks and fur all who need ir-.-Ji and strength. CTT f v.-vp.

Jl to have 3. interviews with Sim before he could drug from him the damning evidence sg.'iiiiNt this de fendant whom ha hnd worked with, slept with aud with whom be wns on the mopt friendly terms. However sick Mrs. Jagger may have been she was down to Layton the next day. Granting that Mrs. Litts was illiterate, and though she was under the severest cross exami nation did they disturb the thread of her narrative? And you know that defendants counsel gavo hr evidence more weight than they did defendants evidence. Nn srreit hns ever been prevent ed, nor the arm of the law stayed by the wives being present. Buckshot of varying str.s were found in Jngger's house. The buckshot gathered at Bavans' varied in size. There was bnckshot found In the skins bought by Levi Howell of the defendant. These sins show that they were shot in the head. George Jagger wears a medal for his skill in rifle shooting. To shoot these groundhogs this defendant must have relonded shells frequently to have shot them Irom'aTireech load ing gun, and he must have lied when he said he never had reloaded a shell. He was afraid to admit that he had nsed buckshot as it would confirm the evidenoe of Litts. It shows Jagger did rsload bnckshot and knew how to do it. Ha is an actor as well as a liar. He went over to the Bevans home with oompany each way, but he did not go in to look at the corpse of his victim. He has plenty of nerve, but he hadu't nerve, to do .that. The effort of the defense to show that George was somewhere else at the time of the murder wns an absolute failure. ' ' Is it natural that as the weather was growing colder he should have sient of an hour setting snares and leaving the potatoes and apples until after dark.- Joshua says he drove no faster one way than the other. Started home at 3 O'clock. Did he get back at 7 or 7.10 as he stated? Mrs. Wilsons appearance on the stand shows she could be as careless of the truth as she appeared to be of gum. By his oounsel trying to explain the story of the lights as told to Hughes, Andress and Thonip son they virtually say their client lied. It was easy to speoify who went by . when he afterward learned that he was suspeoted, but you notice he did not particularize very extensively as to them. Was Mrs. Kennedy called? Why not? Why did1 not Joseph Jagger certify as to the1' gun, and above all, why dont George observe that gnn, he was there in that room, went asleep there. The evidence of the accused and his relatives should be scanned with peculiar oare. Also when the accused has boeu convict ed of crime the jury has a right to give it weight iu determining as to the credibility of his evidence. When a man attempts to escape from the jurisdiction of the court, eithor by flight or suicide it is presumptive evidence of guilt. His oounsel talk of frenzy or insanity, have you seen any evidenoe of Insanity while he has been before you? It was in the power of the defense to have Mrs. Kennedy here to testify that the gun was in her rooms at the hour of theshooting. Every tittle of evidence poiuts an. erricgly to George Jagger as the guilty man. ' Judge Garretson's charge began at 11.15 and closed at 11. CO. Only a few points are given as follows : In this ease nr) questions of law are at stake, only questions bf fact that are peculiarly in the domain of the jury. It is for the jury to say whether it is murder in tha first or seeoud degree. The state does not have to prove motive. If the evidonce as to the accused can be reconciled with inno cence you are not to convict. It was proved the defendant bad a double barreled shotgun. A reason able doubt is that which commends itself to the judgement and con science of the juror after a full and deliberate considoral ion of the evi donee. The only purpose of the Michigan crime is to be considered, as not confirmatory of guilt, but as to his credibility. A Birthdsy Party A most sumptuous affair was participated in Monday evening by a few lady guests at the home of Mrs. Jennia Shearer, the occasion being the celebration of several birthdays which happen to occur about this time. The custom originated with the favored ones several years ago and has since bren faithfully aud joyously observed. The menu was mont elaborate In detail, fairly rivaling a city cnlsineand the favors were large rosea containing elegit nt bon-bons. The participants ooald readily be excused if they' wished themselves several birthdays each yi.ar. fr'ub.-cribe for the I'ut-s. THE WASHINGTON LETTER A three thousand Invitation reiv tion was given by the President on the lltll lust. In eoiiipliiiient to the army and navy. The Secy of agriculture gave a dinner to the Pnvlilcut on the dth inst. The President was delighted with the extraordinary menu; jxit roust, codfish balls, cnlilmgennd Imeon, mince and pumpkin pies, sweet elder, Indian pudding, crullers, marble cake, etc. The trial of A. W. Maehen thus fur, for conspiracy, has developed nothing of iiiiiirtiuife. No one w ill lie surprised at a verdict of "not guilty." The Di'iartiiient of State Is very active, and Heeretnrv liny is ably lixiking after the affairs of collective humanity. His note to the lowers suggesting that the integrity of China must lie preserved whatever the result of the w ar, is regarded as a blow to Itussiii. He also promises that Knir- IhikI, Germany and France shall assist the Vnlted States in limiting the sphere of actual hostilities; but it is not proposed to enforce this suggestion rf et armt. These nroixnil .ions re purely benevolent, in the Interests of the w hole world. The prospect is that the United States will sixm be forced to establish a protectorate over Santo iMinngo. The condictions there are becoming Intolerable. On the 11th hist, after several davs of spirited debate, which de veloped much opixnitlon to the scheme, the House voted to loan the St. Imis ExiKisitiou the sum of $1,000,000. Omgressman Payne, republican lender of the House, Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio. and many other republicans objected to the loan, contending that if the managers of the Exposition hnd such gtxKl security to offer they could obtain the money from banks or private indi viduals. It was asserted that millions of money had been sunk in permanent improvements for the benefit of St. Louis, and that in this way the citv was receiving back much of the money It hnd put into the enterprise. Con gressman Crumpacker of Indiana closed the debate with a fwrvid burst of oratory which enlisted cheers, and the bill was adopted bv a lanre majority. He said the fair had grown to be much larger than was at first antlci'imted by reason of the fncfr that Germany, Italy, Japan and many other nations had demnnded a vast amount of nxmi and would not exhibit unless it could lie had. The opposition to the loan was confined to no pnrtv or section of the country. It is felt in Congress that booming fairs for all sorts of anniversaries and events hns become a national industry; and that self-npixilntitl commissioners who have the disbursing of the funds are not over iMi tieuIar how they get them, or what they do with them.
