England's naval displsy was doubt
less one of the most magnificent ex-
hibitions of Its kind in the history of
the world. No other nation has ever
approached her in the number Of its
w~arships, its tonnage, or weight of ils
ornaments. But her possessions are
30 widely scattered that she would be
almost d~efenseless if attacked by the
many enemies her grasping policies
have made for her. Her enemies, in
case of war, could settle down around
her, cut off communication with the
countries from which she secures sup
plies to keep many of her factories
going, and many of the necessaries of
life, and in q short time conquer her
by causing a revolt among her own
people.

Marx Hanna's and McKinley's treat-

TO the complete overthrow OF the
republican party in Ohio this fall.
Mckinley has been allied with the

done q great deal more TO 'boost"
Mckinley toward the presidents chair
than the Mckinley crowd has ever
done for him. Sherman is getting
rather old and feeble and bis failing

the truth on several occasions of late

truth slip out is a very dangerous mar

Haun, Lewis E. Webb, Joseph Crut-
singer, Luther c.. Files, S. p. Kline,
James A. Thorp, John X. Atterbury,
Geo. w. Gillespie, Albert Scott, Will
liam B. Emison.
Deputies Goode and Thomas were
sworn to take charge of the jury, and
the legal battle began.
Irwin sat beside his mother through
out the evening, and never showed a
sign of interest in the proceedings. He
fixed his eyes on a place on The wall,
and never changed throughout The
evening.
Prosecuting Attorney Clarence Wv
ion read the Indictment and stated the
case for the state. Attorney John
Welborn made the statement for the
defense, and his statement was strong.
He admitted that Seeber killed Filing,
but that he did so because he was
insane.
The first witness for the state was
Mike LilIis, of Page City. He stated
that he was in the bank just before the
shooting and heard Filing call Seeber
a id liar, and heard Seeber say thai
he would "knock the stufing out OF
him."
Lester Beach, the jeweler, who saw
the shooting, was the next witness
He testified that Seeber and Filing had
had a quarrel a few minutes before the
shooting; that he separated them, and
that Seeber hen went up stairs, got d
revolver, and came down and GhOl
Filing. He said he did not think
Seeber knew what he was doing.
Frank w. Threlkeld was the next
witness. He saw The shooting, but
did not know the cause; asked Seebel
why be shot Filing, and Seeber said
something about being called a liar.
Lee Benton and DIR. Grimes were
examined, but their testimony was not
important.

sheriff TO open court. The case oil
The State VS.. Seeber was called. The
sheriff was ordered to bring The pris-

father, and Immediately following
Deputy Sheriff Goode, young Seeber
presented himself at the bar OF justice.
The devoted father, whose son had beer
a constant care to him i'll the years
gone by; who had travelled from ocean
To ocean with his son, that a father S
bows health might be regained, was
seriously affected by the scene. The
Tears OF trouble were trickling down
his cheek; his step was not firm, ike
those which zeal bodies in which the
spirit is buoyant. 1t was not the same
DR.. Seeber of months ago. Trouble
was written on his countenance, and
on his face was the story of sleepless
NIGHTS and DAYS of trouble and care.
It was the saddest mission OF his LIE
But al the bar of justice, to answer
for the serious charge, irwin Seeper
was as calm and unmoved as the walls
around him. He stood in the presence
of a half thousand people, the heart OF
every one of whom was beating In
sympathy for his honored parents, but
he was, to all appearances, obliVious to
every surrounding. Not a smile nor
frown traced across his face. His
ewes spoke neither joy nor II
was evident that Seeber had moi
realized the serious charge against
him. His attorneys went TO him tt
shake hands, but he seemed TO bt
entirely unmindful of the fact that ht
was greeting the men who were hght
ing TO save his life. Truly, the scene
beggars description.
The work of the morning vas select
ing a panel of qualified jurors. Sixty

taken.

Thursday morning the court room
was again crowded with spectators.
The weather was hot. Irwin Seeber
sat as he had throughout the previous
days, totally obllVious to all surround

John w. Troosdaie said that during
the summer of 1896 he was in the bang
on one occasion TO get a so bill

take his bill and have 1t changed where
he did his business. This was said by
Seeber without change of position or

other times didn't seem to know him.

RAILROAD SURVEY.
Chicago and Eastern Illinois Pro-
posed Extension.

MARION, ILL, May S.-The Chicago
and Eastern Illinois Railroad Com
pany has placed a large corps of en-
gineers in the field to survey route
from a point near its southern ter
minus to a point on the Mississippi
River between Cairo and Cape Girar-
deau, Mo. This place is the present
terminus of the e. & E. road, and
instead of commencing the survey at
the end of their line here they began
four miles north at the junction of the
Chicago & Texas Railroad and left
this place about two miles off the
line. This action of the railroad
company is troubling some of our
heavy property owners. The infor-
nation is given out that the road will
cross the Mississippi at Thebes, a
short distance below Cape Girardeau,
and Continue on the Missouri side to
Delta, where it will tap the Cotton
Belt. The road is to be tinis.ed by
October /.
