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. "
Taft Orders More Pruning.
Washington , Nov. 20. President
Taft Informed his cabinet officers , af '
ter scrutinizing the dual draft of the
estimates of the various government
departments for the fiscal year begin '
ning July 1 , 1011 , that there must be
further and deeper cut In them , that
they would not do In their present
form.
In response to the urgent demands ,
of the president the heads of the va
rious departments already had held
their estimates down to what they con
sidered rock bottom llgures. The pres
ident today , however , pointed out a
number of places where ho declared
the pruning knife could bo used to
advantage.
The president went into details of
each department. He inaugurated
last year the policy of giving personal
attention to the estimated expenditure
of the government , declaring that the
best way to wipe out the deficiency In
the treasury was to reduce the outgo
of public funds.

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

Such scenes may bo pleasing to the i

kotan any manual labor Indulged In' '

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.

Now York , Nov. 30. Joe Thomas ,

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.

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
