Dea Moines, Nov. 27. The trial of
Dr. Harry Kelly, charged with killing
Edmund Stcrzlng, was resumed again
In court this morning. The defense
will probably take three or four days
in presenting the evidence that it has
for the case. Nearly all of this will

was utterly insane. The evidence
given by his office buy and the police
officer, also that by the two doctor?
who were his friends nnd who had
more or le:-;s association with him, is
regarded as vital to the defense. At
the same time the state claims that
the defense Is not making as strong
a case as had been anticipated, and
that no proper basis for the claiin ot
insanity has as yet been made. Dr.
Kelly, the defendant, appears to be al
most Indifferent to the case.

Chicago, Nov. 2 4. The records of

It was as startling a hit of evidence
as any "trust busting" government

"The big dealers in South Water

"They contract with all the big
creameries in Illinois. Wisconsin, Iowa,
and other adjoining states for their
entire yearly output. They agree to
pay half a cent a pound above the
highest quotations in Chicago on the
day each consignment Is delivered.
"Every one of these dealers is a
member of the Chicago butter and .
egg board, and he or his representa

day by day for butter. That official '
quotation was in each case from 1
cents to 4 cnts lower than the price
of the product on the street. In other
words, they contr-t to buy the entire

It would be impossible to give a coi
rect catalogue of the reasons why the
male students of Westmoreland be
came antagonistic to co-eds pnrsu
ing the college course with them
Borne pert little misses, tossing their
heads, declared that it was because
the girl wouldn't flirt; that they them
selves had turned their backs upon
sophomores who hud more assurance
than brains. Others averred that the
presence of the women made the col
lege a "hennery" Instead of a field for
"stags." A third lot laid the whole
movement to the fact that several of
the girls took scholarships away from
as many young men. Certain It is that
one young woman of remarkable facil
ity for learning captured a prize that
all the honor men were striving for.
Be that as It may, the antagonistic
spirit prevailed, and It wns determined
by the board of management that the
class of '10 should be the last woman's
class to be admitted to the university.
Tho class contained an unusually
bright lot of girls, who, spurred ou by
what they considered an injustice to
their sex, devoted their Intellectual ef
forts to taking away as many per
quisites In the shape of prizes nnd
scholarships as possible.
Miss Julia Hortou, president of the
class, proved an cxcelleut choice. Not
much of a scholar, she developed a
rare talent for management. Upon
her election slip made a few remarks
embodying the desire that the mem
bers of the class should beat the men
In every Held.
"In athletics?" asked a voice.
Miss Horton wns staggered for a
moment, then bringing her white fist
down on the table, said with vigor,
"Yes. In athletics."
. A burst of laughter followed tho an
nouncement, after which it was for
gotten till three years bad passed.
The president had by this time been
succeeded by others, but she had be
come the recognized manager of the
class. Tho college fall term for 1010
had scarcely commenced, when she
called half a dozen of ber classmates
to her room for a conference, and
when they were assembled said to
them:
"You runy remember that when 1 was
elected class president In our fresh
man year 1 signified a wish wo should
beat these dog In the manger students
who haven't the brains to take prizes
, n-n nntin,,aA , m.. f i .,,
have the Ingenuity to find a way to
beat the men, or at least drive them
from the field. The football season Is
at baud. At that game manly strength
has a greater advantage over woman's
physique than any athletic contest 1
propose that we select a team from
among those of ua whose advantage
lies rather In our muscles than our
brains, and at the finale of the season
attempt to win a game."
"Nonsense! Impossible! It wouldn't
te proper!" were the words that greet
ed the proposition.
"All I ask of you," continued the
speaker, "Is to co-operate with me.
We will organize a team. We will
not let our object be known till the
last moment, then we will challenge
the university team, relying on our
wits rather than our physical strength
to win. At any rate, we may get a
revenge."
"Wit won't win where brute strength
Is needed," remarked Miss Porter.
"Any more than brute strength will
win where brains are required," Miss
Ripley added, "aa Is manifest from
our sweeping away the prizes and
scholarships from these strapping fel
lows." "We might weaken them," suggest
ed little Miss Muffins, "by sticking
pins Into them."
"I have a scheme." said Miss Hor
ton, "that 1 propose to put In prac
tice when It comes to the final test"
"What Is It?" asked all at once.
"Girls," was the reply given Impres
sively, "there Is one faculty we need
not flatter ourselves we possess reti
cence. I shall not communicate my
plnn to the men through each and ev-
, e7 one of you."
MIm Horton won the assent of the
mpany, they agreeing to her terms-
at least all of them except little Miss
Muffins, who declared she could never
in the world wait for the denouement
There were several remarkably
strong young women In tho class, and
one, Mary Honk, who bad come from
a farm on which, her classmates do-
lie wns to tind a ground where they
could practice without having the nieu
students ogle and guy them. How
ever, they secured a gridiron In a
neighboring town, fenced in. and on
practice days went there In a bay
wagon.
Nevertheless it was not long before
the men students learned that the
co-eds had organized a football team
and were practicing. Then It leaked
out that they were intending to chal
lenge the men. Innumerable were the
Jokes perpetrated at the girls' expense.
which luckily they did not hear. Miss
Hortou was working with some espe
cial purpose in view, but since she
kept her own counsel no one knew
what It was. She urged the team to
learn the game and changed a few of
the strongest, especially some who
were fleet runners, to prepare for some
real work on the last Saturday In No
vember. The university team and the wom
an's college team were In fine practice,
there being about two weeks remain
ing before the end of November. Then
a formal challenge pussed, which was
accepted by the university team cap
tain with great formality, but Kith the
belief that the affair was a Joke. Soon
after this It was noticed that a change
had come over tho women students
Cp to this time there had appeared uo
disposition on their part to flirt, but
now It was observed that several of
the prettiest had abandoned their
maidenly reserve and were showing a
disposition to bo wooed. But what was
uot especially noticed was that the at
traction for them seemed to lie not lu
the honor men, but In the stalwarts of
the football team.
The truth Is that the Joko attending
the proposed game with the girls was
overshadowed by a more serious mat
ter. The annual game between West
moreland and Pompton was to come
off on Thanksg.'ng day. As to the
game with the gins on tho following
Saturday, no one believed It would
take place, or. If It did. It would be a
sham game Intended for a sort of so
cial function. A couple of weeks be
fore Thanksgiving Captain Ashton of
the Westmoreland university team be
gan to have trouble with his men
Several of those be most relied on
became very lux in their training, and
not a practice game was played but
ouo or more men were absent. The
captain stormed nnd threatened and
vowed be would resign, but to no effect.
The Irregularities grew instead of de
creasing until during tho last week be
fore the great game tho condltlou of
the team approached demoralization.
Ashton questioned the big fellows
as to what was drawing them, but re
ceived no satisfaction. Ills best man,
Tomklns. suddenly cast the captain
Into the depths of despair by accl
dentally shooting himself In tho foot
while cleaning his revolver nnd thus
rendering himself unfit to take his
part in the aunual game. Wharton,
another good man. was called borne
the day before Thanksgiving by a tel
cgrnra announcing that be was want
cd there immediately. He did not re
turn till the beginning of the next
week.
It was only two days before the
game that an Incident occurred which
cast a faint light on what was the
matter with the Westmoreland team.
Skulpins, who was relied on to do the
punting, while his team was out for
practice was seen walking on a by
Iodb with Beatrlco Wheaton, one of
the prettiest girls In the woman's col
lege. The fact was reported to Ash
ton, who began to "boo through a mill
stone." But It was too late. His
team was obliged to go Into the game
with Pompton shorn of several of Its
best men and with others whose non
attendance upon practice had unfitted
them for their parts. It subsequently
leaked out that no less than seven
of them bad the evening before been
sumptuously entertained by young la
dies of tho woman's college The re
sult was that at the match game the
score at the close stood: Pompton, 24;
Westmoreland, 0.
This defeat of the Wcstmorelandcrs
seemed to be espclally gratifying to
the "co-eds. They were observed con
gratulating each other, and the defeat
was celebrated by spreads given In
several of the girls' rooms. Four men
who had been attentive to four dif
ferent girls left college on Thanksgiv
ing night and three out of the four
never returned. It was rumored that
they bad made propositions of mar
rlage and been rejected.
On Friday, the day after Thanksgiv
ing, the captain of the woman's team
wroto a note to the captain of the
Westmorelands asking some question
pertaining to tbe game to come off
on the morrow. Tho messenger, re
turning, announced that the captain's
room was locked and bolted. Messen
gers sent to other members of the
team failed to find any one of them.
Not a man Jack of tbem was left in
town.
On Saturday evening a uotlce was
posted on the college bulletin board,
signed by tbe captain of tbe woman's
team, claiming tbe game to have been
played that afternoon, since tbe men's
team bad run away.
The girls' scheme of revenge was
out and to no one was It plainer In
all Its details than to Captain Ashton.
Tbe triumph of heart over muscle had
been complete. Miss Horton's man
agement had been eminently efficient
She bad set tho most Intellectual girl
after the prizes, placed the most mus
cular on her team, while for the break
ing down of tbe athletes she had
brought up ber corps of beauty, before
which their hearts collapsed like a
bursted football.
The class of 1010 was tbe last wom
en's class to be graduated at West
moreland, and tbe men students swore
a great oatb that there sbovJd never
be another.
