Spot on the Sun.
Have you seen the big spot on the
sun? Here's the latest in regard to
the phenomenon: "a peculiar hazi-
ness of the atmosphere in st. Louis
last Friday made it possible for OBJ
servers to see the new and big spot
on the sun with the naked eye. Prof.
HIS. Pritchett, of Washington Uni
versity, measured the spot, and said it
was 27,O4O miles long and $500 miles
wide. The next largest one Is 9,100
miles long and 1910 miles wide, and
there is quite "a flock of others. from
800 to 1000 miles in diameter, strung
along like sort of tail to the big one.
The entire disturbed area is about 6S,-
600 miles long and 10000 miles wide.
The main spot, it will be noted, would
cover just three worlds the size of ours"
Here at Edgefield we can see this spot
through smoked glass.

The first is his energy, the second

DID NOT CONFESS
Paul Schultz Dies Making Protest Of
Innocence

MILFORD, Pa, Dec Paul Schultz,
who murdered his wife September 30.
1896, was hanged today. The condemned
man read brief paper in which he
stated his innocence.
Mrs. Schultz was murdered Septem-
ber 30. in boarding house on the farm
of John Wolfarts. Accompanied by her
twelve-year-old son, she had obtained
employment in July, at the farm house.
She was known as Mrs. Lydia Smith.
On the night of September 80, Schultz
arrived at the farm house and inquired
for the woman. He reproached her, but
later the couple were apparently recon-
ciled. Schultz remained at the farm
during the night and occupied room
with Mrs. Smith. In the morning the
woman was found dead in her bed with
bullet wound in her head and revol-
yer clutched in her right hand. Schultz
was arrested. but denied all knowledge
of the murder He subsequently ac-
knowledged that he was the dead
woman's husband. A coroner's jury de-
cided that the shot had been fired by
some person other than the woman and
Schultz was arrested. At his trial, his
twelve-year- son testified that he
saw his father place the revolver in his
mothers hand after the shooting.
Schultz was convicted.
June 18th he attempted suicide in his
cell.

NJ. Scheurer- Kestner declared that
the government had refused revision
Of the trial, and asserting that the au-
thorship of the anonymous note was the
crux Of the whole question, he added that
he was certain 1t was not written by
Dreyfus and asked that the matter be
re-exnmined.
The minister for war, Gen. Billot, re-
piled that M. Scheurer- Kestner had sub
mitted to him no evidence. He had con-
tended, the minister explained, that the
anonymous note was the basis Of the
whole affair, and that If It was shown not
70 have been written by Dreyfus. the
latter ought to be accorded new trial.
But the general, as minister Of war,
could not go back on the Judgment OF

his right In declaring and repeating that

INDIAN EvICTIoNs
An Arizona Sheriff Makes Trouble for
Himself

PHOENIX. Ariz., Dec. 7.-Governor
McCord has been requested by the in
terror department to investigate reports
that the sheriff Of Coconino county has
been maltreating Navajo Indians found
by him off the reservation. The specific
charge is that the sheriff and posse last
winter evicted 16 families Of Navajos
from their tepees on the Grand canyon
forest reserve because they were unable
to pay an arbitrary assessment levied
by the sheriff on each 100 head OF Indian
sheep grazing in the vicinity. AS soon
as snow fell the Grand canyon region
has heretofore annually been made the
grazing ground for many thousand of
Navajo sheep, and the withdrawal Of
the privilege is keenly resented by the
Indians. It is probable that the COVER
nor will go to Flagstaff and conduct the.
investigation in person. "

is not directly in her course, but a storm
may have driven her on the shore Of
the island. The Taymount was last

the coast of Brazil.
