Dr. Mnckny Is Star Witness. Fremont , Nov. HO. "I would Bay that the man IB subject 10 periodical Insanity and that on the thirteenth day of August he was Insane. " i This answer by Dr. .1. II. Mackay of Norfolk , insanity expert , to the hypo thetical question propounded by coun sel for the defense In district court yesterday afternoon marked the ell max In the fight to save George W. Osborne , the Hlalr painter , from death i on the gallows or life Imprisonment. In calling Dr. Mackay to the witness iitand the attorneys for the defense played their trump card and It Is generally - j orally conceded that Dr. Mackay's tes timony will play an Important part In determining the dual verdict. ; ' In laying the foundation for Dr. Mackay's testimony as to the mental and physical condition of the defend ant , Oshorne's attorneys brought out the fact that Dr. Mackay had made a HOBO study of Insanity In Its variom forms since 1804 , and at one time wan superintendent of the state asylum for thu Inuano. IIo testified that ho had twice exam ined Osborno , once in the jail in Oc tober , and again on last Saturday afternoon , and declared that Osborno was Insane on the night of the crime. Tells of Osborne's Condition. Dr. Mackay's story of the examina tion of Osborne was the most inter esting testimony of the entire case. IIo told of blindfolding the prisoner and piercing his foot with a pin. Os borne , ho declared , sensed the pain , but was unable to pull his foot away from the pin point , which showed that his nervous system was In disorder. A test of the eyes showed that the pupils failed to react. Other tests showed Osborne's mind to be unusual-I ly slow in grasping ideas. The prisoner - oner , he said , was unable to stand In the attitude of a soldier without sway ing. Ills power of equilibrium was defective. "Tho prisoner's frame Is that of a type never found in the Caucasian race among sane men , " declared Dr. Mackay. "It is such a frame as that common to idiots and resembling that of the ape.

FROM SOUTH DAKOTA PAPERS. Canton News : Suppose the leglsla ture were to provide for n constltu tlonal convention , and suppose the convention would provide a reason able revenue plank , should cut on a lot of legislation and give us a con stitution flexible enough to meet the ( growing demands of state , and should I leave the educational affairs so that the legislature could adopt modern i and advanced methods. And suppose s it should allow the legislature to fix reasonable salaries for officials with in certain limitations and do a lot of t other things which would bo for the ) general good , what do you suppose ) the people would do with It ? The ac tion at the late election In falling to discriminate between necessary and useful laws and those of less value i does not glvo much hope that they would show greater wisdom In the matter of a complete constitution. Mitchell Republican : The South Dakota gold output this year Is only $5,000,000. Besldo the farming busi ness of the state , the Black Hills mln-i Ing becomes a puny industry. i Pierre Dakotan : The Hudson Hud- sonlte has viewed with apparent pleas-1 uro the farmer's daughter of Lincoln I county In the corn fields picking corn , Such scenes may bo pleasing to the i eye to some people , but to the Dakotan - kotan any manual labor Indulged In' ' by women looks entirely out of place and always displeases ns. To see wo men driving the plow , raking hay , picking corn , scrubbing dirty floors and such work takes one across the ; waters to Russia where women grovel like cattle in performing such work i' as ' delights the eye of the erudite editor ' tor o'f the Hudsonlte. Yankton Press ami Dakotan : South ) akota is going to have a little speak- ershlp light all her own. Thus far hree candidates have developed , and , caving out the dark horses , this will ) e enough to start things off at a mer- y clip when the state legislators as semble at Pierre. C. P. Morris of illnnchaha , and E. C. Isscnhuth of Splnk , are the leading candidates , and he fi lends of each of these capable nen are confident of landing the of- Ice. P. B. Peterson of Clay enters is an unknown quantity , and may add i little spice to the fight. Sioux Falls Argus-Leader : Wo BUS- icct that the referendum will play an ncreaslng part in South Dakota mat ers from this time on. The over- vhelmlng defeat of every submission except one , has taught the people mw easy It is to veto the acts of the eglslature , and it Is likely that any neasuro which excites the least or ganized opposition will first have to run the referendum gauntlet before t can become a law. We agree with .ho Mitchell Republican that the con stitution should be changed , raising he percentage required to Invoke the referendum , but we fear that in an other "vote no" campaign it would go lown with the rest. It is a big job to educate 125,000 voters so that they will caiefully pick out of a long list of laws what they favor and vote for them , when they are opposed to the reat majority of things submitted. It is llatterlng to the voter to say that he will do It , but some way the actual returns do not vindicate the flattering words. Justice Harlan's Anniversary. Washington , Nov. 29.

THOMAS WILL TRY AGAIN. California middleweight Is After Stan ley KetchePs Title. Now York , Nov. 30. Joe Thomas , the California middleweight who , up to the time he met Stanley Ketchol , was looked upon ns the best oxpon- j out of the manly art In his class , has i a lingering suspicion that ho will yet j become the possessor of the title hold i by Ketchol at the time of his death. For a time , after his several defeats by Ketchel , Thomas went all to pieces , IIo dropped so far back In his lighting that It was n hard matter for him to induce boxing promoters to give him n i match. Lately , however , ho has been i rounding to and believes that It la i The Famous. Is the Lamp of Real Beauty because it gives the best light of all lamps. The Rayo gives a wufte , soft , mellow diffused light easy on the eye because it cannot flicker. You can use your eyes as long as you wish under the Rayo light without strain. The Rayo Lamp is low-priced , and even though you pay $5 , $10 or $20 for other lamps , you may get more expensive decorathns but you cannot get a better light than the low-priced Rayo gives. A strong , durable shade-holder holds the shade on firm and true. This season's new burner adds strength.and appearance.

Tonight at the Marathon Athletic club In Brooklyn ho will moot Connie Schmidt of Hobokcn , In the main event. While It is not often that you find a man by the name of Schmidt who can fight , this one is said to be the real artlclo. Experts on the game think well enough of the Hoboken man to credit him with possessing championship quality. Thomas did not pick a soft one when he agreed to meet Schmidt , that's certain. Thomas states that ho Is anxious to find out whether It will pay him to continue In the game , and in order to convince himself of the fact , decided to have a try-out with the Jersey man. Those who have seen Schmidt in action predict that the California ! ) will have to step some to win. i ins young iciiow , i ew rowcll , who fought young Otto at the Olympic Ath letic club last Monday night , display ed a fine brand of gameness. Otto , according to those who saw the bout , fought the best battle of his career. He outboxed Powell in the early rounds and punished him severely and against a man less determined than the California ) ! would perhaps have won by a knockout. Hut Powell did not appear to care much for the punching he was getting , for he kept continually boring in and slamming away in such vigorous fashion that it took a good deal of the heart out of the local man. The tide of battle turned in the California ) ! s favor as soon as he brought the blood from Ot to's nose , which was in the eighth round. From then on to the finish he gave Otto a severe beating. Dan McKettrick , who lias assumed the management of young Otto , has it given out that from now on there'll be no evidence of the canary in his man when he fights. "Otto Is the best 2-handed lightweight I've seen in the east , " said McKettrlek , "and if I can get him to stand ground and light as he can , he'll clean up this bunch of of eastern lightweights like breaking sticks. And you take It from me , " continued the little manager , "I'll soon liavo him to a stage where he'll not know the meaning of the word 'quit. ' " May be so , Dan , may be so. But then we shall see. Manager Tom O'Rourup of the Na tional Sporting club has Hatched Frank Mantell and "Sailor" nurke for the star bout next Friday night. This contest will be at the middleweight limit. Mantell has been coming along in good shape lately and appears to be the making of a top notcher. Ho has been fighting for about four years and has made quite a record for nim- felf. He has a L'0-round decision over Jack "Twin" y.illivan , also a 20iound < imw , which warrants the statement fiat Mantell has some class.
