The Cape Girardeau Democrat is un.
under bond to do all the legal advertis-
ing of the county of that name, for one
year, for SIS. The Democrat therefore
prints all the advertisements required

But the Australian ballot law requires
q fac-simile of the election ticket to be
Published in tsoo papers in every coun-
ty where there are two papers. Under
the Democrats contract it was entitled
to not . cent for this advertisement,
because it is included in the "aH :"
which it has agreed to do for SIS. The
Cash Book, which is under no contract,
also printed the ticket and charged full
legal rates, which it was entitled to do.
Then the Democrat clicked" and put
in an extra bill. which, under the con-
tract, it had no right to do, nor the
court to allow it. But the court paid
it, all the same. Such il life in coun-

The report from New York is that con-
cessions In price are the rule. The mar
ket there is called a buyers market, and
IL has been for several weeks. and sucn
sales as have been made there in the great
majority of instances, have been the results
OF material reduction in prices. That in-
come-producing investment property has
inquired 10 so small an extent in recent
transactions is only what might have been
expected. In times like these New York
City investment property is the best prop
erty man can own. If he should sell
such property, even at full value, he would
be at loss to find anything better to re-
invest his money in. Precisely the same
thing may be said Of San Francisco real
estate.
From Chicago the real estate report is
that commission business is now proba-
bly, as dead as it ever was, for the reason
That the speculative element is entlrely
lacking. Not even the small buyers are
attracted by any prospect of speculation.
Prominent real estate men have been QUICK
to see this and have avoided all reference
to speculation in their appeals to Dur-
chasers. The distraction attendant on the
fair and the continued dullness in business
circles have combined to create the most
llfeleSS real estate situation known IN tnaC
city for more than fifteen years. There ls
practically no inquiry.
As an instance of the final effect of boss
rule it is stated: The rottenness of Brook
lyn's government is now such that many
New York banks refuse to loan money on
Brooklyn property, or purchase her bonds,
till clean administration is inaugurated.

EX-JUSTICE HOSMER.
Death of a Distinguished Juror at
an Advanced Age.

Ex-Chief Justice Hosmer of Montana
died in this city yesterday at the advanced
age of rs years and IL months. He was a
native of Henderson. n. Y. -
After being admitted to the bar he went
to Ohio and practced in the Northwestern
circuit from 1886 to 1860, with the excep-
ton of between 1S48 and 1856, when he
was engaged in journalism. During those
seven years he edited the Toledo Blade, OF
which he was one of the proprietors, and
started the daily paper of that name. In
1864 he was appointed by President Lin
coin Chief Justice of Montana and occu-
pied that high position for eight years.
de opened the first State courts and de-
cided some of the most complicated and
important mining questions that have
ever been before STATE tribunals.
In 1872 he came to San Francisco. where
he devoted himself principally to literary
work. 1t was he who brushed aside one
of the claims of the friends of Chinese
immigration. that under the treaty the
Chinese who came from Hong Kong could
not be excluded, as they came from an
English and not a Chinese port.

THE ROSALlE.
No Truth i'm the Report That She Will
BE Drawn Off the Davie Line.

Another rumor has been circulated to
the effect that the Davie Ferry Company
is on the verge of bankruptcy and aboutt to
succumb to the pressure that has been
brought to bear upon it. The various Off
cials of the opposition line were inter-
viewed by CALL reporter last night, and
without exception emphatically denied the
reports and branded them as malicious
emanations from Southern Pacific sources.
Captain Bassett said he had these rumors
repeated to him so frequently that he had
long ago ceased to be annoyed by them.
In this instance" said he, "the fact that
we are about to take off the Rosalie for
temporary repairs may have given some
coloring to this story. l was In the city
all the afternoon, and can state emphat-
ically that such yarn as our going under
is ridiculous and without an iota OF truth
in it." E. B. Pomroy, president of the
Davie Company, was equally outspoken
in his retutation of the report. THE
Rosale will be taken off soon to be painted
and have her boilers examined" he said.
"but another boat will take her place.

paid Si4 80 month for her room and
breakfast at the Hagans house.
"Was Mrs. Hagans informed by you re-
garding moneys you sent to Hagans?"
''Yes, SIR" replied the defendant before
the Judge had time to rule the question
out The defendant was then allowed to
step down, after nearly three days exami-
nation.
Attorney Heyneman nthen made another
energetic endeavor to introduce in evil
dence the deposition OF the witness Giles
respecting an assault made by Hagans
upon the defendant in Golden Gate Park.
Giles deposed that Aagans boasted to him
of this act
81 rule that out" said Judge Wallace.
Mr. Heynemann was not satisfied with
that, however, and made another brief
speech, showing that according to recent
Supreme Court decisions the testimony
should be admitted.
81 rule it out" was the Judges laconic
reply.
MI Heynemann next offered in evidence
the testimony of the witness Huestes. A
bench warrant had been issued for this
witness. but he had not been found. Coun-
sci claimed that as Huestes was not present
his testimony should be read.
81 rule it out" said the Judge; "thats
the end of that"
Witnesses were then called to testify as
to the character Of the defendant previous
to the shooting. But as the prosecution
admitted her previous good character for
''peace and quiet" their presence was not
needed.
An adjournment was then ordered until
this morning, and in the meantime it was
directed that every effort be made to find
the missing wiaess Huestes.

DOES 1T EXIST ?
Question Raised by Counsel In the
Benson Cases.


Benson Cases.
The Benson fraudulent survey cases
came up in the old United States District
Court yesterday on an application by At
torney Joseph c. Campbell for leave to
withdraw the plea of not guilty in the con-
spiracy case under section 5440 of the
United States Revised Statutes against
John A. Benson and NJ. F. Reilly, and to
enter instead a demurrer to the indictment.
Mr.. Campbell supported his position
principally by an argument explaining the
grounds existing from his standpoint for
demurrer. His main point was that the
court did not have jurisdiction for the rea-
son that the district was divided previous
to the sitting of the Grand Jury which in
dicted Benson and Reilly. The old district
of California was divided in 1856. and the
Grand Jury did not indict them until a
year later. Mr.. CampbelPs contention is
that with the division OF the district the
old District Court lapsed, and should not
have been revived. and Grand Jury or
dered to investigate under 1t, after the
court was functus officio; that, strictly
speaking, there was no such Grand Jury,
because the court had ceased TO exist.
Another point was his claim that the In
dictment did not state such facts as
would effect the object of the alleged con-
spiracy. Further argument by Mr.. Camp
bell will be resumed ct 10 o'clock this
morning

HER LONG SIEGE.
Nellie Horizons Testimony
Concluded.
ONE WITNESS IS MISSING
Attorney Heynemann Again Riles
Judge WalIace-Compliments
Pass Between Counsel.

Nellie Horton looked worn and weary
is she entered Judge Wallace's courtroom
Yesterday morning. where she is being
tried for the killing of Charles r. Hagans.
The long examination and cross-examina-
tion to which she had been subjected had
left traces of care upon her face.
Her composure, however. returned to
her by degrees. and she got through the
days worry with out any ef the scenes that
marked her introduction to the wit
ness-stand. It transpired, however, that
she had had several fainting fits at the
Branch County Jail since her lncarcera-
tion, and Mrs. Agnes Barbee, the matron,
said that one Of these fits came upon her
the previous night, and that it was with
great difficulty that she was restored to
onsciOusness.
Proceeding with his cross-examination
Of the defendant Mr.. Deuprey introduced
letter written to Miss Horton by Charles
Hagans, in which he expressed his annoy
ance in rather harsh terms at her constant
pursuit of him and 1T the inquiries which
she was in the habit of making concerning
him.
Tell me-" said Mr.. Deuprey. sis 1t a
fact that on receipt of that letter yuu
loaded your pistol?"
''No. sir; the letter had nothing to do
with it. kept my pistol always loaded"
Shortly afterward Attorney Heyne-
mann. the defendants counsel, contrived
once more TO irritate Judge Wallace. He
objected to Mr.. DeupTey speaking of his
clients pursuit" of Hagans, and insisted
that another word should be substituted.
MI DeupEey smiled, but the court looked
angry.

And | must object to the remarks of

the ground that they are likely to infu-
ence the jury"
well, all can say, sir" retorted the
court. us that l am sorry for your opinion
of the jury. Sit down." And Mr.. Heyne-
mann sat.
The defendant admitted that she had
heard the testimony of one of the wit
nesses Tor the prosecution who said that
on one occasion he overheard the defend
ant propose to Hagans TO accompany him
to his room in Mrs. Davis house in Oak
land. She said that the testimony was
false. Tn that occasion she was taking
to Ragans in the parlor of Mrs. Davis
house and she proposed to Hagans to take
a walk, but he refused.
Mr.. Deuprey then returned to the night
of the shooting. He cross-examined the
defendant severely with the view of prov
ing that the defendant shot Hagans first
while he was laciug his shoe and that in
his fall Hagsns knocked over the water
pitcher whereby the defendants dress be-
came splashed with water. She then shot
Hagans again. turned out the gas and tried
TO escape. But Nellie Horton stuck to her
first statement, namely: that she did not
remember anything

Driven Insane by a Joker.

BRIDGEPORT, Asy14.- Mamie Lynch, an attractive young lady employed in the rolling shop of the Union Metallic Cart ridge company in this city, lies in critical condition at her home and is violently in sane as 8 result of practical joke played on her by a shopmate while at her work a few days ago. The story Is parallel to the barrel-rolling episode which occurred in this same shop but short time ago and which resulted in driving another young lady employed there insane. On Wednss- day last Miss Etta Jamison, lively young lady employed in the rolling department of the cartridge shop, on going to her work carried with her toy snake, with the in- tsntion of 'having some fun with it." The plaything was made of paper, but it's appearance was deceptive. Unfortunately Miss Lynch the first young lady she decided to frighten is of very nervous temper msnt and became greatly alarmed at the sight of the snake. Miss Jamison was de. lighted with her success and approached nearer with the bogus serpent, at which Miss Lynch fed. Her termenter followed her closely shaking the toy near the frightened girls head and chased her all over the room until Miss Lynch fell ex- hausted and hysterical. She recovered from her fright somewhat but has since been taken very i'll e result and is now confined to her bed violently insane. Ths physieisns hope that the effiiotioa will not be permanent enc but the present con dition of the young lady Is believed to be serious. The affair has been kept very quiet, every effort being made to prevent publicity. It is asserted that 1t was threatened that the one who should tell of the occurrence outside of the shop would be discharged immediately. This being the second affair of the kind it has crested much excitement.

There Was . Renewal sf Liqaida-
 tions-Lendsn was a Heavy Seller
 There Were Several Advances.
 NEW YORK, May 13-There was e renewal of heavy liquidations with the opening of the stock market today. The sales affected al most the entire list. They came in from almost every quarter. London was . steady seller, and the selling of stocks when the market opened was almost indiscrim nate. Burlington broke three points, the other Granger stocks nearly two points apiece. Manhattan fell four points; the industrial shares broke heavily, and such securities as Lake Shore and New York Central suffered declines as heavy as almost anything e:se upon the list. The effect Of the selling of long stock was intensified by operations for the short account; largely by those who did not know the turn for the better suddenly reached in Wall streets local finances.
 When the facts became known, there was some buying back of stock, and the fulfllnent of antcipations by the gain in bank reserves served further to arrest the downward move msnt. In some stocks, notably the Grangers, there was a rapid rally. The closing, therefore, showed quite generally advances from the low est. Of the bank report itself little need be said, except for its reflection of the drain of money from the West to New York. Curiously enough, while interior exchanges are so univer- sally in favor Of this city as to compel such movement of currency, 1t Is the West where the demand for money is a. present particularly keeu, whereas in New York, so immense have been the sums released by the fortnight's liqui- dation, money can scarcely now be placed at all on call. Were the general situation less clouded, borrowers in the mercantils com munity would be the movements largest bsne' fciaries.
