BILE that the second trial will occur then.
DR.. Hughes has been forced to remain
in jail since he was arrested in Novem-
her, as one charged with such a crime
cannot, in that stage of the proceedings
at least, be admitted to bail. But the
jury having failed to agree, new ques-
ton arises. The constitution of Maine
provides as follows:
mo person before conviction, shall be
bailabIe for any of the crimes which
now are, or have been dominated capital
offenses. since the adoption of the consti.
tuition, here the proof is evident or the
presumption great, whatever the punish
ment of the crime may be"
Counsel for the defence will undoubted-
ly bring up the question whether, a jury
having disagreed on this case, the proof
is now evident or the presumption now
great.
1t will be case for the judge to de-
eide, whether DR.. Hughes shall be re-
leased ON bail or kept in Jail.
The jury was called in by Judge Bon
ney at 1.20 a. M, having been out four
teen hours. Notwithstanding the late
ness of the hour there was large gath
ering of curious people in the court
room.
County Attorney True represented the
government, and Judge Symonds and
MIR. Snow the respondent. DR.. Hughes
who had been in the custody of the ofic-
ers in an ante-room until it was decided
to call the jury in, sat in the seat he
has occupied throughout the trial. His
wife and daughters remained In the
ante room watching the proceedings
through the open door.
The clerk inquired if the jury had
agreed upon verdict, and the foreman
replied that they had not and that there
was no prospect of agreement. They
were then discharged.
Judge Symon1s gave notice that he
would make application today for the
admission of the respondent TO bail.
The court then adjourned.
1t is said the last ballot of the jury
showed eight for conviction and four for
ACC Initial.

principles governing the consideration OF
the case, dwelling upon the nature and
weight of circumstantial evidence, and
the nature of and punishment due to the
alleged crime. In conclusion he referred
evidently to the late ebulltions of pub
lie opinion in another case, saying:
Gentlemen of the jury, the idea to
some extent prevails that verdicts OF
jurles should not only be rendered &C
cordlng to the law given by the court
and the evidence produced in the court
room, but that they should also, in
some way. be Satisfactory to the public
at large who have had no particular
acquaintance with the law, and Whose
only knowledge of the facts is derived
from street rumor or from scraps of tes-
timony printed in the public newspa-
pers.
such an idea is pernicious and dan
gcrous to the rights of man. When the
verdicts cease TO represent the honest
convictions of the jury, who have seen
all the witnesses and have heard all the
testimony, the decline of liberty has be-
gun and the dawn of anarchy has ap-
peared
"You are acting in no representative
capacity. Your verdict should be the
result of your own individual opinions,
and not the reflection of the opinions
of any other living man. The law has
selected you to VT because it believes
YOU to be honest, Intelligent, and capa.
Bile of forming your own opinions from
what you yourselves see and hear. The

THE POISONOUS DOTHIDIA
The Cause Of Great Fatality Among
the Cattle
A Deadly Fungoid Growth Which May Be
Found Wherever Alfalfa Qrows-It
Is Not Waterproof

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 11.-Dr. H. W.
Harkness, president OF the Academy Of
=Sciences, believes :hat the death of d
numbe of cattle near Old Elk Grove,
this county, is due 10 poisonous fungus
growth on the alfalfa in that reign.
DR.. Harkness appeared before the board
of supervisors today and exhibited spec
linens Of infected grass.
The fungus were brown blotches, like
rust, on the grass. 'Tbe fungus is known
as the dothidia, "said the scientists, "and
it may be found in Italy and in Cali
fornia wherever alfalfa grows. Two
years ago l investigated the cause of the
death of several thousand head of cattle
at Bakersfield, which had been imported
from Arizona. Death was found to be due
to this poisonous growth of alfalfa. We
saved the rest of the herd merely by
turning out on a dry field
DR.. Harkness said fungus is fatal only
in the month of October. 1t is wash ed
away by the heavy winter rains and
after that the alfalfa is wholesome
again.

THE FARMERS WORST FOE
Has Travelled From Dakota TO New
York State
The Russian Thistle After Running Portions
OF the Agricultural Northwest narches
Toward the East

NEW YORK, nov. 1.-the Russian
thistle, which first made its appearance
in this country about 1873 ID Bonhom m
county. South Dakota. has at last found
ist way east. Its presence was discovered
by w. M. Van Sickle, supervising princi-
pal of schools OF Western New York, who
has devoted much of his time to the
studyof botany. He first saw the weed In
last Augnss In the West Shore yards in
Weshawken, where, in search of botanical
specimens, he has discovered other weeds
from the northwest.
When Mr.. Van Sickle felt sure it was
really the Russian thistle he notified Pro-
lessor Dewey of the department of agri-
culture. To convince Professor Dewey
that he had made no mistake Mr.. Van
SICKLE forwarded q specimen. Professor
Dewey then communicated with Profess
sor Halstsad of the New Jersey agricult-
nral department at Trenton and requested
that he visit the place and confirm Mr.
Van Sickle's stateme ents. Professor Hal
stead visited the West Shors railroad
yards and found that the school super
VISOR was not mistaken. Between .he
tracks covering an area Of perhaps thirty
feet were at least $50 plants, each about
twelve inches in height He is of tbe
opinion that the seed had been carried
east in cattle car.
