Sherlock Homes, that, famous detective of fiction, was never involved in a plot shrouded in deep-el- mystery than that which surrounds the murder of MrS Ele-nore Scott at LaCygne, in this county, one night last June. Kansas lyis Vhad murder cases that have created more general interest, than the murder of Mrs.

Scott, because she was unknown outside the county In which she ffiad lived from her childhood. But in all the annals of crime in this state a murderer never has covered his tracks so cleverly. John Ellison Scott, husband of the slain woman, is held on the charge of having committed the murder, and Arfene, her niece, was bound over r. yesterday by a justice of the peace Tor trial on the charge of being an accessory.

The church. had grown so strong that the original apostles found their lime occupied in preaching and asked for help: Seven men At? the nnd nrnhahlv to care of the olierings and to ex- Pend -tho-tcttureh money.

Tho Christian church would prob ably have died at the beginning, but for the persecution which kh ed Stephen and sent Philip and others preaching and organizing everywhere, Philip's first mission was to Sa- maria. The Jews did not like the witnesses were examined. The evidence was old, having been introduced in former trials. The state; however," through the grilling of witnesses by Charles B. Griffith, attorney general who has taken personal "'charge of- the case, apparently has succeeded in gaining some new testimony from! tne witnesses, mis is particularly true of the testimony of.

Clyde McCullough of LaCygne. McCul-lough was a friend of -Scott and worked for him in grocery store. McCullough testified Scott had confided to him before the murder that he owned a 25-caliber revolver. Mrs. Scott was killed with a 32-caliber bullet.

The, revolver with which she was killed, never has, been found. Scott has said he had no such revolver. McCullough said that after the murder ho told Scott the people 'of LaCygne were preparing to send for the bloodhounds to trail the murdered. 1 "They need not do that," Seott replied to McCullough. "They will not find anything." These two features of McCul-lough's testimony evidently wen; a surprise to the defense.

"Why didn't you tell this story of the gun and the bloodhounds before this," demanded "Charles Kie, one- 01 tne oeiense auor neys. "Nobody asked me about it," replied McCullough es Strahl, an 11- testified that the llTJJ JfVhl Z. one Scott stopped in Scott room to say good night, and remained some time. This testimony was corroborated by Marie Carnagy, aunt of Velma Strahl, at whose home Scott stayed several days after the murder. County Attorney W.

W. Edeburn testified that the day after the murder he suggested to Scott, that the cistern at the Scott house be drained in a search fo rthe revolver. "Oh that won't do any good, the revolver is not in there," Scott replied, according to Edeburn. Sheriff Ellington testified that Arlene Scott had confessed to him of having been intimate" with Ellison Scott and that their relations had existed a year! The defense hammered the Ellington statement in an attempt to show that the sheriff had obtained (his confession by threats. The trial in which Ellison Scott is charged with the murder of his wife, Eienore Scott, and Arlene Scott is charged with being an accessory, has created wide interest in Linn county.

Tiie young coupie lived at LaCygne, where they owned a grocery and meat store, Before engaging in the operation store tho young people had, lived on a farm. So far as known to the friends, the marriage was an Ideal match.

No thought of discord was suspected when Ella Scott was mur dered, no one in LaCygne thought to blame Ellison Scott. Then came the and a search of the property, and a search for tracks of the person who fired the two fatal shots that killed Mrs. Scott. There were conferences and theories, and a testing of clews, in the effort to pick up the thread that might unravel the mystery. No such thread could be found, then came the question.

"Who could have killed this woman, unless it was the one person that was with her, Ellison Scott?" MANY HIGH PRODUCERS. Report For Testing Ass'n No. One Shows High Herds and High Cows For Two Months. Mr. Leonard S.

There were church diyseiitionH then as now. The great controversv wa a the reception of Gentiles inlo (ha Christian church. Most of the Christians wero Jews and they were not all sure that Jesus came to save anybody but the Jews. They had noNew Testament, thefie let ter had not been written. Wuat they preached was from their own -personal experience with Jesus, They may have had Borr.r writings of Jesus, but we know of nothing authentic.

They had no organiza tion, they had no creed. When the Ethiopian naked. Philip why he should not bo baptized Philip got out of the chariot and baptized him. He did not ask him if he believed in the virgin birth, or tiie immaculate conception. I do not know whether I'hitip immersed the Ethiopian or' hot p.nd do not kind which, was "Good enough for father and good enough for mother und is good enouii for me, back into the surroundings of the church D.

If they cou'd go back to the church of their grandfathers, sit on wooden bencher, and listen to a preacher talk for. three horns arguing about the method of baptism, or how many angels could dance on the point, of a cambric needle, or about, the denomination to which the preacher belonged, would bo enough.

I would like to take some ot our "Old Time Religion" friends to camp '-meetings which were common two generations ago. I would like for them 1 to lnto the churches and listen to the sermons They would be cuied immediately. Creeds wero invented and attached to the Christian church long after it was organized. Jesus never wrote p. creed, never demanded adherence to doctrinal points, in fact, never declared any doctrinal point3.

We are getting p. better view a.l the time of tho things Jesus taught, the correct amount to feed each eow for economical production.

Too many cows are underfed and a good many overfed. "Some of the most used rules for feeding the dairy cow are: Teed one pound of grain to eyery 3 to 4 pounds of 'feed one pound of grain per day for every pound of fat produced tt a week; fet 3 pounds of silage for every hundred pounds of live weight, plus I poutid of hay for every 100 pounds of I've weight fed along with the "Some cows that have gone wn in flesh caused by underfeeding or some other cause, will require more grain than these rules call. "or. Put If cows are up in condition this will give the most ecenomical production, if the ration is properly balanced as to carbohydrates and protein. Protein feeds are unusually high in price, but if cottonseed meal or oil meal is fed, tine to two pounds will usually be sufficient for one cow a day." A PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY.
