He has long ago exceeded all previous records for continuous eonfinepient In the county prison, as nearly four years hare passed away since be entered It as a prisoner charged with a capital crime. Hanen'a case has few parallels In criminal annals. The length of the term during which he has been a tenant of the county Jail Is In Itself a feature of unusual interest But this la but one of the features. The man has been 1b the shadow of the galls ws foe over three years, and still Is not to be hanged unless another Jury assesses the death penalty. His day of execu ttoa has been fixed twice, but an attorney has interposed as often to prevent the strangling rope from cutting short hie existence. Once but a few minutes of life were legally remaining to him when a mandate commanded the sheriff to suspend proceedings and the prisoner wag remanded to his cell. Marten's fight for life has been a legal marvel. Arrested within a month of the death of hie supposed victim, con vlcted on the only trial he has faced, he is still, four years later, about to be called upon to face a new Jury which shall have full power to pass upon hie guilt or innocence. Over 1,300 times has the sun risen since he was locked la the Jail. As many times the sun has set and be has still been a prisoner.

The dead man and the prisoner had been friends, and the lat ter admitted that ho was with Frits when the German was last seen alive. Robbery Is the alleged motive against Marten.

Marten all along has maintained his innocence, and has seemingly never lost faith in an ultimate acquittal- - Tet twice he has seen the ugly noose before hie eyes and has dodged by the shortest of noses. When the gallows was erected which took the life of Merry a second place was fixed for Marten. But the mandate of the supreme court giving the condemned man new reprieve was received the day before, and once more Nlc Marten was sent back to his cell to wait on the courts. His faith has received Justification. for the court of last resort has said he did not receive substantial Justice in the former trial and has teht his ease back for retrial. By this action all but the indictment l wiped out, and Nlc Marxen Is today the same man before the law that he when the grand Jury returned the true bill. His prior conviction goes for naught. He must he tried as If that trial had never taken place. Some unaccountable delay have taken place in this case. Even If the defendant should be guilty legal questions have arisen which might negative all the proof that might be offered of his guilt. The law says that a man shall be speedily brought to trial, or, having been tried, that no unnecessary delay shall prevent the execution of sentence. Tet four years almost have elapsed since the Rrrest and ktll the man la a prlfofier In the Jail. The man date of the supreme court for a new trial was made In June, yet two month elapsed before It was received In Chicago. But whatever the result Nlc Marxen holds the record for length of confinement in jell. He has not faced death as often ag other men condemned on THE FAITHFUL WIFE, the charge of murder who got reprieve and finally died on the' gallows. He has been near hanging twice only, but the passing of years between these times has made this an exceptional case. He has not been with his family for three Christmas festivals, has been under the shadow of death all this time, yet I now to be tried as If he bad never faced a Jury. st er Be -- speedy-Justice, Marzen.had beeq! three Tears tenant of the Jail over Operate TVS Eew Stook Md Poultry Dirt hi U Dairy.

We have an illustration of how hard It Is to keep dirt out of the dairy by the way In which the bottling system has come into disrepute In some sections of the country.

This was on ths presumption that ths bottles would always be properly and thoroughly washed, at any defect of this kind would be mad known In the unclean appearance of the bottles. The trouble proved to be that the bottles were not sufficiently washed to kill any disease germs that might have obtained n lodgment In them. Thus at West Point and In It waa believed that Philadelphia scarlet fever waa spread by this means. The bottles, after being emptied of their contents, stood open In the houses where this disease was present As the bottles were not washed by the people that used the milk, the little milk left in the bottles became n good breeding medium for the germs of the disease. When the bottles were washed at the bottling establishment the baptism of heat was aot sufficient to kill the bacteria, and when the new milk was put Into them the disease germs found a new and in larged medium for their multlpli-satloThe same la true of the germ that cause milk to sour and butter to ipolL Heat and acids are necessary to five the cleanliness required in the FANCY NAMES FOR POISONS.
