for a price of $2.."0 for wheat. lie
i-aid he did this because if wheat is
made the cheapest of foods, its con

new crisis will shortly confront the
country. The price fixed for Xo. 1

about $2 or $2.10 for wheat in Ne

Rome, Aug. HI. It is stated at
the Vatieian that Pope Benedict on
receiving President Wilson's reply to
his peace proposals did not attempt
to conceal his bitter disappointment
and that he regards the president's
answer as leaving little room for
further peace efforts at present. It
has been no secret here that the pope
hoped for a more favorable response
from the United States than from
anywhere else.
Before President Wilson's reply
was read it was said at the Vatieian
that the responses from the various
governments were expected to be
more favorable than the tone of
mess comment. At the same time
the pope was reported to have sig
n i lied his intention of issuing a re
ply after receiving the answers of all
the belligerents;, pointing out ques
tions in regard to which all the na
tions at war might be in agreement
and others concerning which it
would be necessary to hold discussions.
ANOTHER INDUSTRY HERE.

Oak. Iowa, will on Monday open a

Mr. Mickish went to Omaha this

the conducting of his business. He

CLAIM KELLY
ASSERTED HE
'DID THE JOB'
Prisoner's Attorney Says Havner
Sweated Suspect Until
He Confessed.
IOWA LEGAL HEAD SAYS
NO GRAND JURY FRAUD
Declares Has Evidence Against
Preacher Defense Knows
Nothing; About.
Des Moines. Ia., Aug. SI. II? M.
Havner, attorney general of Iowa,
late tonight announced that he had
received verification of the report
that Lynn (leorge J. Kelly, an itin
erant clergyman, had confessed to
the murder of eight persons at Vil
lisca, la., in 11(12. in connection wrth
which he has been under indictment
since last spring.
Havner says that he was not pres
ent when the confession was made
and declares that it was made to
the sheriff and county attorney of
Harrison county, at Logan, where
Kelly is confined.
After a "sweating" lasting from
S o'clock Thursday night until 4
o'clock Friday morning, the Rev.
Lynn George J. Kelly, who. is Im
prisoned in Logan, la., for com
plicity in the Villisca, la., ax
murders, asserted that he "did the
job." according to A. L. Sutton.
Kelly's attorney.
Attorney General Havner and five
deputies, says Sutton, were given
permission by the Logan sheriff to
see Kelly Thursday night. In the
course of the conversation with
Kelly they read him the "evidence"
of eighty-five people, in which evi
dence his guilt was certain. They
also told him that itO per cent of
the people of Red Oak, la., had
banded together and were going to
hang Kellv' when he was brought
there for trial next Tuesday.
Next they outlined his course if
he should admit the crime. They
told him he would be sent at once,
without trial, to an asylum, and
at the end of six months would be
freed, the attorney declared.
Wanted to See Attorney.
Sutton says that Kelly begged
them to let him see his attorney.
Judge Sutton, but they said, "It
won't do you any good anyway,"
and refused.
When John A. MacKenzie, associ
ated with Judge Sutton, went to see
Kelly in jail at Logan yesterday,
Kelly repudiated his assertion of the
preceding night.
According to Sutton, Attorney
General Havner now has the papers
signed by Kelly admitting the
deed.
Attorney General J. M. Havner of
Iowa, in Omaha yesterday to straight
en out differences of opinion be
tween himself and revenue officers
on "the amount of income tax he
should pay, denied that he had done
anything irregular in connection
with last winter's grand jury probe
of the Villisca ax murders.
Report Investigation.
Reports from Reef" Oak, la., where
another grand jury is in session, are
to the effect, that Havner's conduct
in examining grand jury witnesses
is under investigation.
"I know of no fraud in the grand
jury work," he said. "Ask any at
torney in Iowa if the conduct of
grand jury work can be a matter
of criminal investigation. I cannot
tell what did happen before a grand
jury, without violating the law," he
added.
Havner was emphatic on what
would happen when the trial of the
Rev. Lynn George J. Kelly, now in
jail on a charge of murdering the
Moore family and Stillinger girls,
commences at Red Oak next week.
"We are all ready for trial," he
raid, "and are going through with
it. We Avill not ask that Kelly be
adjudged insane, and sent to an
asylum. That is for the defense.
Have New Testimony.
"We have evidence against Kelly
that his defer::;e knows nothing
about. The other side wants to get
it. For myself. I am sure that Kelly
is the man who swung the ax, and
I am going to push the prosecution
to a finish. llyplays are for the
defense, not for me."
When Private Detective Wilker
son was mentioned. Mr. Havner
winked and said: "Wouldn't Wilker
son be sick if he knew that we had
a signed confession frcra Kelly?"
The trial is called for next Tues
day. Judge W. D. holes of Sheldon.
Ia., outside of the judicial district
in which Montgomery is situated,
has been appointed by the supreme
court to conduct the trial.
Feeling is running high in Mont
gomery county. It is pointed out
that the state, however, cannot ask
for a change of venue, and the de
fense will be unlikely to want a
change.

OLD FRIENDS CALL.
From Friday's Dally.
We were agreeably surprised this
morning when our old time friends,
whom we had not seen for many a
year, Drs. F. G. and J. C. Smith, who
we knew years ago, one at Grant
City and the other at Albany, Mo.,
came in on us for a short visit. The
doctors are now both located at Beth

manufacturing specialties. It is like
going back into the days of our
younger years and catching a glimpse
of the good times and good friends
which those times contained, to see

It is generally admitted that ex

should we not make use of the ex

more to be depended upon than that
