Thinks llurraut Innneent. LITTLE ROCK. Ark.. I>ec. 11 Judge E. M. Merrlman. of Little Rock, who was personally acquainted with and once represented J. E. Ulanther, alias Forbes, as an attorney In this city, insists that Ulanther, and not Durrant, murdered Blanche Lamont and Minnine Williams in San Fran cisco and that the execution of Dur rani will therefore lie a Judicial mur der. A few days ago the story was sent out from Atlanta. (la., thut Ulan ther was in thut city at the time the girls were murdered. Judge Merrlman scouts this Idea, lie today made the following statement: "Since the publication of the card through the Associated Press in which I staled that I believed In the inno ence of Theodore Durrant anil the guilt of Ulanther. alias Forties, I have received many communication* sup porting either side of the question. Now, as the supreme court of Califor nia has refused to Interfere and Dur runt must hang, still having an abid ing faith in his Innocence, i feel that the public ought to have an Insight Into the fai ls thut have arrayed them selves before me and convinced me that a judlelul murder is about to be committed. "First, there can be no question but I hat the written confession is in the hundwriting of Ulanther. for no eTort has been made to contradict this pre sumption and examination by experts lias established it. "Second, Want,her confesses tnat ne murdered Blanche l-amont and Minnie Wlllianu). "Third, the entire evidence In thp conviction of Durrant lias been cir cumstantial and the only positive statement that ha* ever hinged on the case is Blunther's confession that he and not Durrant did the deed for which Durrant'* young life Is about to be forfeited. "Fourth, Blanther being dead, my lips may reveal the fact that he had told me during his troubles here that the name of Forbes was but an alias; that he had assumed Tor reasons best Known to himself, and that Ills life had been an eventful one.' This conn led with the statement, of his second wife, Agnes Cameron, In public print, convinces he that lie spoke the truth. "Fifth, the trial of Durrant seems to have boen a forced one by some power behind the scenes.' the prose cuting attorney being notably bitter In the conduct of the same and yet failing to establish a single fact by direct and positive truth. "Sixth, thp theory of the slate that Blanche Dumont was murdered on the night of April 3, 1890. is. and has been throughout the whole trial, an un warranted assumption. There Is no proof that the girls were murdered In Finniauuel church, and a more rea sonable assumption would be that they wore murdered elsewhere and their lajdies carried to the church us 'part of the program.’ "Seventh, as to the Atlanta dispatch that Blanther was seen in that eltj between April 12 and April 15, 1895, this may be all true and he may have had all that arranged for hls pur chasing agency to believe that, but does anybody know or has anybody ever ventured to say when he left Atlanta? Ten days Intervened between April 3 and 13, at which latter date Minnie Williams’ body was discover ed. Within that period of time Blan ther might have been seen in Atlanta, and also have been in San Francisco to do his bloody work, and even had a day or two to spare IT lie wua work ing under a preconcerted plan and stimulated by reward for orompt and Immediate action, as has been Inti mated by n man named ‘Austin.’ Eighth, the theory of the state without anything upon which to base It. Is that one of the girls was killed on April 3, the other on April 13. Blanther savs he killed them both at the same time, which is a more rea sonable presumption when the whole case Is founded upon presumption. “If Blanther was at Atlanta at the time Indicated, he probably went there with a perfected plan to return at once to San Francisco as soon uh he established the premises upon which to base an alibi, folowing the advice of some party In whose employ he was to consummate the dastardly docfl. He could have left Atlanta April 4 and been in San Francisco In time to murder the two girls. Kits Will llu No More righting. ST. mi ls, lbu\ 11.—A special to the Republic from Itock Island. III..

Can Till* Valuable r rod act be Karceaaful ly Cultivated In Nebraska'.* The Commerelnl club and Secretary Vtt, says the Omaha Bee, have set to work with determination to discover whether another product as valuable as chicory and sugar beets may not be added to the list of Nebraska crops. This Is canalgre—pronounced ‘ kah nah-gray,” and meaning the plant commonly known as sourdock—which bids fair to revolutionize the Industry of leather tanning. It Is believed that the product can be raised on the arid plains in the western part of the state, as it la now being grown upon the deserts of New Mexico. If this should be found to be be the case, land in western Nebraska would be as desirable as in the other parts, since there Is considerable profit In the crop. An account of the plant and Its possibilities was published In the Bee last Sunday. The matter of Investigating whether canalgre could be raised In this state was taken up by the Commercial club some time ago, but was dropped with out much progress being made. One re sult was discovered, however, and that was that the plant nourished on Cut Off iHland, u resident there having raised a crop. The matter was again brought up before the Comerdal club by Secretary Utt at the last meeting of that body and he was Instruct'd to write to the University of Nebraska, requesting that experiments he made with the plant, in pursuance of these Instructions Secretary Utt has sent the following communication to Chancel lor MacLean: "OMAHA, Nov. 30.—George E. Mac l.enn, Chanecllor University of Ne braska, Lincoln—Hear Sir: This club has considered the cultivation of can uigre In Nebraska. The conclusion Is that it should be done tlie coming sea son In an experimental way and that there Is a fair possibility of success. There Is some evidence that the plants can be raised In this slate; the roots are planted and harvested about the same as sweet potatoes, according to the information at hand. It Is stated the cost is $30 per acre, the produce is twenty tons per acre, the value $75 per ton; the figures seem Incredible. "It Is further stated that the plant contains 40 per cent of tunnlc acid. The demonstration of our ability to produce canalgre would be beyond computation In value to our state, for many reasons; our farmers to be pros perous must have diversity of crops; chicory and sugar beets are of great value and will produce great results. but the benefits do not compare with those arising from the successful rais ing of canaigrc. The time is fast approaching when sheep and cattle will be slaughtered in this state hy the millions; the hides of rattle are taken hy sections where tan hark is available; it has been dem onstrated that the tan hark cannot be hauled to the hides, so that our hides may he mude Into sole leather in Ten nessee and shipped to Massachusetts and the manufactured shoe worn later in Omuha, where the animal was slaughtered. “This is all a question of tannic acid; In addition to the large percent age of tannic acid in the roots of canalgre it Is claimed it will make more desirable leather than tan bark; also that the hides remain in the solu tion only twelve hours, while It re quires three months where the tan hark is used. So It appears that the material for tanning hides would be cheaper In Nebraska, than elsewhere, If the plant can he rnlsed.and as hides are cheaper here, Omaha would have the cheapest leather of any point In the world. Tills being true, tanneries would be in operation and following these would be factories that consume leather in making articles that are used in the west. “Again the plant grows on the arid grounds of New Mexico and Califor nia, so that It Is possible our vast acres of land In western Nebraska, fit only for grazing, would be Just the section where production of canaigre would be successful. “Finally, Is It notwithstanding the province of the Agricultural college to consider this question at once and (•iitlonvni' to intrnHnco tho nltinl tliia coming year, no that we may not only be convinced of the facts, but show the results at the exposition. It might be, the experiment, if made, should be on the college farm, as well as in the western part of the state. Please let me know what your views are on the subject, and will you prosecute tbe matter to un Issue? With deep respect, your truly, JOHN T. t'TT, Secretary. Tu rrtnnl OnrlMdls| Car*. H. H.

The opinion prevails that Germany will not permananetly occupy Kiao Chau bay, China. The newspapers protest against the occupation as cal culated to Injure the interests of Rus sia, and sny Russia ought to demand evacuation. According to the official returns, the the last vintage of Franco amounts to 32,000,000 hectoliters. This Is a falling off of 12,000,000 hectoliters from the vintage of 1896 and about 120,000 hec toliters under the average of the pre vious ten years. Prince Von lfohenlohe, the Imperial chancellor of Germany, will give a parliamentary dinner on December 14, at which Kmperor William will he present.

That the family washing cannot tie satis factorily done with a scant supply of hard water and inferior soap is a fact not al ways understood by housekeeper*, yet those inconveniences are the cause of yel low clothes, and faded garments. Strong lye soap made in the home kitchens, may have answered for the use of our grand mothers, and the cheap laundry soap found in the villago stores half a century ago was thought good enough for women who had learned to make hard rubbing do the work which good soap should have done. Butin this age of progress lalior saving appli ances are used by intelligent women, and in no place do they count for more than in the laundry. After assorting the clothes, put the linens in a tub nearly full of hot water, and rub them with Ivory Hoap. as each piece is washed, it should be wrung out, and placed in a clean tub. When ad are washed pour boiling water over, and let stand until cool, then rinse, and starch the clothes. After the linens are washed, the white wearing clothes should tie washed lu the same way. then thecolored garments taken through fresh suds, rinsed, starched, and hung on the line. When dry each piece should lie taken from the line, shaken out. sprinkled, folded and laid In a basket until morning,'when they should be care fully ironed Ki.iza it. I’akkkk. Mme.

Improvements Completed, The Improvements on the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio, west of, and between Martinsburg, W. Va., and North Mountain, were completed No vember 1st. Thev cover a distance of nearly four miles, starting three miles west of Martlnsburg, and extending some distance west of Myers Hole, which Is near the North Mountain sta tion. At Myers Hole the line was changed, taking out some very objec tionable curvature, and the roadbed raised nearly fifteen feet, eliminating two grades of 42 feet per miles which came together at Myers Hole, and sub stituting therefor an almost level track. This point on the road haft always been a dangerous one and many freight wrecks have occurred there. Apart from doing away with the dangerous feature of two sharp down grades coming together, as was the case lu this Instance, the saving in operation of the road by the change will be very large, as It enables the tons per train to be greatly Increased and reduces the liability to accident to the minimum. At Tablers the road bed has been lowered about thirteen feet, and the same at Tabbs, besides taking out ob jectionable curvature and reducing the rate of grades at these points from 42 feet per mile to ten feet per mile, thus increasing the cars that can be hauled per train. Though these Improve ments have cost quite a sum of money, the expenditure is fully justified by the great saving In operation. “The Adventures of Francois,” the new novel by Dr. S.
