' - ' Mrs. Eva Conners, wife of th accused. completed her testimony at the call of court thia morning, and told a straight-4 forward story which the state attor neys found It Impossible to batter down. She scornfully told of the attempt of Hawkins and. Phillips to secure the $50 bribe, and Scathingly spbke of Detective L. G.' Carpenter, who, she said, she be lieved to have reflected on her honor. "Yes he said that it was all a Job, and that I was posing as the wife of Conners to ' protect him. I think that any officer who will stoop to such work as that Is pretty low. How does he know that I was never married to my husband? If he wants it I can show him our certificate of marriage, and the death certificate; of our little twin babies whom we bdried , back in Colorado." ; On the stand Carpenter denied having made the statement, and Mrs. Conners admitted that she did not hear it her self, but that some one had told her and she believed It. ' . The climax in the "bitterly contested trial came as the state, was about to close In rebuttal.' Henry Doht, a ho tel clerk, was called to the stand this noon. The state attempted to prove that Conners' had stopped at the hotel that night, by the testimony of the clerk, to be corroborated by the ntry on the hotel register. - The defense objected to the admis sion of the evidence and the court heal tated In making a ruling.

Republican politicians of Illinois, representing .every county of the state and every faction of the party, are rounded up In the capital today for their ; biennial, love feast The excuse for the gathering Is the meeting of the state committee to fix the time and place for holding the rtate convention. The gathering af fords an excellent opportunity for "drawing a line" on the situation with regard -to the gubernatorial nomination and It Is this fact that is chiefly respon sible for the presence of so many of the party leaders. - ,.-...;. . ' By 10 o clock this morning the Le- land hotel corridor and other-public places .were alive with politicians, who made slates and discussed, the various gubernatorial candidates and their alli ances.

Frank O. Lowden of Chicago, who believes he haa moro than an' even"chanceof becoming the standard-bearer, and Congressman Vespasian Warner, who has followed the, lead or his two rivals in making a per sonal canvass of the state. , - Oratory o Top. - The pow-wow will probably be rich In interesting developments, but just what effect it will have on the several booms can hardly be figured out at present More will be known after the speech making tonight Senators Cullora and Hopkins have been Invited to speak and also the various Illinois representatives In the house. Their speeches win be merely preliminary to the opening of the "big-show," which will consist of speeches by the candidates for the gub ernatorial nomination, beginning with Attorney . . General Hamlin. Besides these, If time is left, the party leaders wlll. be entertained with an address by "Doc" . Jamleson, Fred Rows, -Senator Len Small, State's Attorney, Deneen of Chicago, and others who are reckoned among the "big men" of the Republican party in .Illinois. With such a flood of political oratory to be let loose It Is small wonder that the real work of the state committee meeting Is overshadowed. Moreover, the work of selecting the time and place for holding the convention " is purely routine this year, though Peoria may liven thlnga up a bit by contesting with Springfield for tha honor of en tertaining the gathering. The conven tion will In all probability be held early in May, which seems to-suit all parties concerned. . A FAIR PRISONER COLLAPSES IN COURT (Journal Special SerTlee.) Kansas City, inn. 27.

Well, we. have a room down at San 'Francisco about - half-full of manuscripts, documents and drawings, and If wa ever run short we know where to go, and every mail brings more. Peo ple who read the magazine see what we want and voluntary contributions are the resources we draw from almost entirely.'-. , "We ' publish 60,000 magazines a month for, our - regular list, and often at conventions . issue 10,000 extra copies. The magazine started as a little folder some years ago, and the de mand seemed so great and the field so fertile end untitled that the magaslne grew almost unaided. For Instance, we never solicited advertising, and for a long time did not' publish any adver tisements but many of he California firms thought the - magazine should prove a good medium and advertising was almost forced on us, and now . we have about .as nice , an assortment of paying ads. as a magazine that works for thia purpose chiefly. We do not feature big names or seek noted au thors, our field Is to exploit the West in its every phase, and we want to put In our magaslne about all we got out of It and that accounts for our color plates, richer Illustrations and larger editions."- -i ..- .

' Besides a ''tele gram from Mr. Fulton, stating, that he had ' arrived,- no ' word has come from Chicago ' ' Local freight men have not been in formed of the objects of, the meeting, but' know' from the suddenness of the call. that matters of Importance, and gen eral Interest occasioned the meeting and the most important things and the only ones likely In the opinion of f reight offi cials to : cause the 'meeting is the new Western tariff and ' the stockman pass ruling. ' .'V. -.-'; ; On both of these matters a loud com plaint has been made. , The rates made effective January 1$ have been scored as unjust and prohibitory by shippers. East and West, and besides a general : com plaint big' shippers have pointed out de tails in the schedulewhich they assert show discrimination; this discrimination being In some cases against, certain Western markets and trade centers una in others against certain commodities and businesses. On the stockmen's return transporta tion the lament is, according to freight men, fully as Intense,1 though not of so great . volume, because . of the smaller per cent of shippers affected. From the tltne cattle were first shipped In trains until the beginning of the present year stockmen have regarded their shipping trips as their vacation and recreation periods, . and since at least one attend ant is needed in every shipment of any size stockmen contend that the roads are bound to return this guard free of charge, no other shipment, unless it be that of fruit needing a man's constant attention. , The Transcontinental Passenger ; ss- soclatlon is meeting this week in St Louis, and matters of Importance will br settled concerning the tourist rate for the- yearandon- th.e-8LJxuls lair rate. - The action of the roads in deter mining the St. Louis rate will generally be considered a precedent for 'the Lewis and Clark fair rate, and' the local lines are awaiting with unusual Interest re ports from St Louis.
