A CURIOUS CASE.
1t Established the Fact That There Are
Some Rights which Can't BE Waived

1t Established the Fact That There Are
Some Rights Which Can't BE Waived
A defendant in murder case in New
York state was once placed on trial be-
fore a jury of twelve, says the Brook
lyn Eagle. A member OF the jury died
during his trial. The prisoners coun-
sci agreed with the district attorney
that the trial should continue before
eleven jurors and that no record of the
death of one OF their number should be
entered on the minutes of the court.
The prisoner was convicted and SEN
fenced to punishment. An appeal was
afterward taken to the effect that
neither his counsel nor the district at
torney nor the court nor the prisoner
had right to waive the latter's right
to trial by twelve jurors. The con-
viction was set aside for that reason.
As, however, nothing in the record
showed in a formal and official way
that the trial occurred and that the
verdict was rendered by less than
twelve jurors, it was also held that the
man had been put once in jeopardy
and could not be put twice in the same
nc NdS- us
charged. He was thus tried and not
tried, found guilty and not found gull
ty, convicted and practically acquitted
all at the same time and under the
same proceeding. The contention was
that every man indicted and tried for
crime previous to his arraignment, and
everyone who might be so indicted and
SO tried after his arraignment had an
interest in his trial by twelve jurors. a
right to his trial by twelve jurors, and
that when he waived his own right he
impaired their right in their trial and
their right in his trial, and that the
thing could not be permitted This
illustrates how man holds some OF
his rights in trust for all the past and
for all the future. OF such rights he
cannot divest himself and cannot be
Invested.

English Upper-Class Doors.

From the Kansas City Gazette.
1t happens once in long while in this
country that president or ex-president
is greeted by an unmannerly epithet
from some unmannerly fellow in a
crowd, but such disgraceful exhibition
of partisan virulence as was exhibited
week would not happen to any public
man in the United States under any Cir
cumstances. The prime minister at
tended a reception of the Prince of
Wales at the Imperial institute and was
hooted, groaned at and Missed by not
fewer than 20, 900 persons, all OF them
belonging, or claiming to belonging to

in one section that each township, city

and pay all election expenses. and in an
other place that the county shall do this
and then apportion the expense to the
cities and townships. The opinion of
the attorney general is that the county
shall have charge of these purchase and

the townships and cities. This rule i'll

Similar SimilibuS.

From the Lawrence Record.
A correspondent of the Wichita EAGLE
furnishes that paper an article canvass
ing some Of the reasons why Wichita
has no thunder showers. He considers
that the fifty miles of electric line
trollies have much to do in
disslpating Accommodations of electricity
there. incidentally he mentions the
fact that while Grant was bombarding
Nicksburg, France was deluged with
rain. By the same token, we presume
that the TACT that the combatants in the
late Kansas war kept their powder dry,
explains the present rainie5s condition in
western Kansas.

No Agricultural Reports Left.

Secretary Mohler stated yesterday that
the edition of the eighth biennial report
CT the agricultural department had
already been exhausted, and he has over
800 applications which he cannot fill.
The last legislature, though it pretended
to be iegislating specially for the farmer,
provided for only $500 copies of this re-
port. which is the most valuable docu-
merit issued by any of the state depart
ments. In former years 10000 copies
have been printed and even that was not
enough. This years edition of $500
copies was hardly enough to supply the
members of the legislature, newspapers,
state officers and correspondents OF the
department and the thousands of farm
ers who apply every year for copies of
the publication will he disappointed.
