What to do With Straw
An unknown friend down in Lake
Charles Louisiana writes the publisher
a postal card to the following effect
Have just read that Nebraska farm
ers are burning wheat straw to get rid
of it Tell them to use it on roads it
will prevent both mud and dust under
stand it is used on the Pacific coast
and proves satisfactory They also
might send some to a paper factory if
it makes good wrapping paper it would
provide a new source of income
The Tribune submits the above for
what it is worth and it is Worth the

Says There Will Be a Trial
Tho word has been passed around
that tho Dewey murder case will bo
compromised Compromised is a new
word in a murder case It is reported
that C P Dewey father of Chauncey
Dewey has offered through an agent to
buy all tho holdings of the Berry family
no matter what the coat This is one
way tho Deweys are attempting to
clear themselves of the crime andif
blood can be measured in dollars and
cents and the Berrys induced to leave
tho state justice in this case will prob
ably go down in defeat But no ono in
this part of tho stato is foolish enough
to believe that the Berry widows will
barter their husbands lives for Deweys
money The latest reports from Atwood
and St Francis discredit tho settlement
story which probably originated with a
lawyer for tho defense as attorneys for
tho stato knew nothing about the mat
ter Tho case will not be dropped and
as soon as the court sets in St Francis
tho first Monday in December the trial
of the accused murderers will proceed
