A man or woman should
be as careful IN the selection
of his groceries as in his
meat, as they act together as
builders of bone and muscle.
food groceries are sold
cheap only when opportuni-
ties have been offered the
dealer to buy cheap. The
opportunity was ours and
the benefit yours.
We've not been handling
a complete stock of groceries
until we saw the demand
for it. Our customers in
other lines knowing the
values they received for
their dollars, insist upon our
dividing the expense of their
living. Food stuffS are good
on division.
AS a breakfast dish, shred
ded Goldfish is as convenient
for the getting ready as
mush; as an entree at lunch

mention this because we sell
it. Hams and bacon, Eng
lish jams and marmalades.
Going back again to fish,
kippered herring and sar-
dimes are delicacies when
fresh and carefully selected.
Ours are right in this respect

Newport, KY, May 1.-THE Scott
Jackson case went to the jury at 10
o'clock this morning. Before retiring
the Judges typewriter instructions,
bloody clots, letters and other articles
that were shown in evidence were
placed in their hands.
At 1905 the jury returned to the
court room with a verdict. Amid a
death-lilte stiffness the foreman hand
cd the verdict to the clerk who read as
follows. "We, the jury, find the de-
fendant Scott jackson guilty of muir
der in the first degree and fix has pen
atty at death"
The Judge had previously announced
that no demonstration Of approval or
disapproyal would be permitted. De
puties were placed throughout the
room with instructions to bring be-
fore the court any persons disobeying
this instruction, to be punished for
contempt. Consequently the verdict
was heard in silence, but Immediate
ly after the adjournment of court the
spectators rushed to the jurors and
shook their hands heartily. They also
shook each other by the hand, showing
a hearty approval Of the verdict Of the
jury.
jackson himself received his doom
with no manifestation of emotion ex-
cept ashen paleness. None of his rela-
tiyes were present. The aged father
Of Pearl Bryan and her brother Fred
erick Bryan were present when the
verdict was rendered.
The usual motion for a new trial was
made and Then Jackson was taken
away to Jail. lie had been surrounded
by half dozen or more officers when
the jury came in, and went out under
protection, although there was no de-
monstration TO indicate a necessity for
so much care
In anticipation Of any trouble i'm the
event of disagreement or of acquittal,
the Commonwealth had arranged for
a special train to transfer Walling as
well as jackson to the State peniten-
tiary at Frankfort. This train was in
waiting until noon, and no one knew
anything of it except the officers and
railway officials.
In long interview jackson admits
his surprise over the verdict and claims
that he had proved an alibi. He still
maintains has innocence and saws that
Walling killed Pearl Bryan. The pris-
oner is greatly depressed over the YER
dict.
Walling has also been interviewed
since the verdict and expresses his sat
isfaction. He still maintains that
Scott jackson killed the girl, and in his
stated that Jackson deserved
hanging.

A Pension Bill Disposed Of
Every Five Minutes.
THE DAY IN THE HOUSE
River and Harbor Bill Again
Under Consideration.
sENATEAMENDMENTs REJECTED
The Report in the Cheatham- Woodard
Contested Election Case Adopted
by the House Without
Division.

Washington, May 14.-The House to-
day under the special order adopted
last week devoted the whole day to
private pension bills. They were dis
posed of at the rate of about one ev-
cry five minutes, IS in all being fayora-
bly, acted on before adjournment.
Among them we're bills granting
pensions to the widow of Gen. o. NJ.
Poe $50; the widow of Gen. jameson
$50; the widow of Gen. Jno. Newton
S75; the widow of United States Sem
ator, Geo. i. Sencer, of Alabama $50;
and ex-Congressman Smalls, of South
Carolina $50.
While the pension bills were being
considered the committee of the whole
rose informally and disagreed to the
Senate amendments to the River and
Harbor bill and sent it to conference.
Mr.. Hepburn, (Rep., Ia.), caused a
furry later by raising the point that
the action of the House on the River
and Harbor bill was irregular. He
contended that the committee of the
whole had no right to rise in order to
disagree to the Senate amendments.
These amendments carried large adj
ditional appropriations, he said, and
were subject to the point of order that
they must first be considered in COM
mittee. The action taken took them
beyond the jurisdiction of the House
i'm that respect and was an injustice.
1t was in fact snap judgment.
Mr.. Richardson, Dem, Tenn.),
thought Mr.. Hepburn's point of order
would have held at the time but that
it came too late Mr.. Cannon agreed
with Mr.. Hepburn that the action was
a species of sharp practice which any
friend of the bill ought to hasten to
correct. Mr.. Herman, rep, 0re.),
who made the motion denounced the
insinuation Of sharp practice and ex-
planned that the demand for an carly
adjournment made it imperative that
every means should be taken to get
the River and Harbor bill to the Pres
ident with the least possible delay.
He intimated that a veto was expected
and there should be time to pass the
bill over the veto.
The Speaker took the point of or
der under advisemenf and will render
his decision tomorrow.
Before the House went into COM
mittee Of the whole under the order,
the report III the contested election
case OF Cheatham VS.. Woodland, from
the Second North Carolina district, in
favor of the sitting member, was q
dopted without division.
