sane in the county court. The frs,
intimation of the patients mental
arrangement was last Wednesday,
when on returning home from work,
he became quarrelsome, threatening
his wife and little ones. at whom he
hurled furniture. His condition
grew rapidly worse. AS there is no
trace OF insanity in Ringstrom's fam.
lily. his present trouble is attributed
to an attack Of brain fever which he
suffered about five years ago.

ut is an offense," he said, "for which
the man who swore out this
warrant ought to be ashamed
and forever removed from the
control of young boys and girls. His
duty is to care for their little bodies as
well as their minds. 1t is his duty to en-
courage them. make them love him,
treat them kindly, affectionately, low
ingly-not to pursue, not to frighten not
to have them fleeing across the yard like
startled animal, fearing the lashes
that they know are to descend upon the
tender flesh. Does it require that we
bring here witnesses to prove that this
man is habitually cruel to the children
placed under his care? We did not
deem it necessary. This circumstance
this running and pursuit of that boy, his
subsequent treatment-prOves it to the
satisfaction of any fair minded man.
May God Almighty never place me and
mine in such a position as was Mr.. Har-
ris and HIS. If he does it will be neces-
sary for the man who treats my child in
such manner to protect himself.
Protect the schools-prOtect rather
the children who are sent there from
the care of their parents. The feeling
toward this man who visited such treat
ment upon that boy is shown by the con-
duct of the children when Mr. Harris
went down to see about it. The boys
and girls of this town love kind and gen

maltreatment. They were indignant at
seeing one of their companions cruelty

feeling in this matter, it's not to protect
the schools. That is an after-thought
on his attorneys part. A cruel man
never forgives. Let Mr.. Howell manage
his school by kindness, by love, by per-
suasion and it will need no protection.
Kill him, Mr. Harris; beat him, whip
him. that tells the story.
Col. Argo said no testimony had been
introduced to prove that the boy had
done anything worthy of such treatment,
and such could not be presumed unless,
on the other hand, it be presumed that
Mr.. Harris had heard of the treatment
visited upon the boy by Mr.. Howell. The
only reason, he said, that Mr.. Harris
submitted was that he was techni-
| cally guilty in that he did not see Howell
! fall upon his child, but acted upon infor-
nation. Had he seen Mr.. Howell fall
| upon the child, Col. Argo said he would
not have submitted, but would have

| rather than submit to an adverse judg-
ment
Immediately upon the conclusion OF
Col Argos speech Mr.. Maroon an
| nounced that the judgment of the court
was that Mr., Harris pay a fine of $500

The Gaulois adds: 1.-The Sultan, now
conscious of his strength in conse-
quence of the Turkish successes in
Thessaly, is resolved to claim sover-

effective recognition thereof"
LONDON, May 2.-The correspondent
of the Telegraph at Athens says: Ger
tain members of the late cabinet are
industriously fomenting anti-roy List
feeling by statements in the press cal
culated to reflect on King GeorCc. For
example, the late minister of marine
alleges that he prepared complete
plan of action for the fleet, but that
his orders were not executed, owing
to certain other orders issued by the
king, which were inconsistent with
them or countermanded them. Queen
Olga and Crown Princess Sophia are
working day and night like sisters OF
mercy.
The report of the retreat in Epirus
is confirmed. The Greeks are aban
doning all positions they had occupied
except Salagora. Philipiada is among
the places evacuated.

they confessed to having committed
the theft, saying they had given $40 Of
the money to Henry Daniels. Daniels
spent the money and on Sunday even

ing to their confession, decided to
either collect their $50 or kill Daniels.
They carried out the latter part of the
programme.
Henry Daniels, an old negro, lived
in little hut with his step-daughter,
Marie. and a 7-year-old child.
Wednesday night the house was
broken open, Marie Daniels and the
7-year-old child were assaulted and
old man Daniels dubbed to death
while trying to protect those in his
charge. Then old man Daniels and
his stepdaughter were thrown into
the house and the child was thrown
into the we'll. The house was set on
fire and the devils capable of such
crime left, thinking that they had COW

The option of the three-cent fare law
ceases today, and President Mason of
the Citizens-Street Railroad Company,
says the five-cent fare will be enforced

granted are against the Citizens Street
Railway Company, forbidding them to
receive a three-cent fare; against
State Prosecutor Wiltsie to prohibit
him from trying to enforce the three
cent law, and against the city to pre-
vent its officers from doing aught to en-
force the three-cent fare law. So far as
it is clear victory for the railroad

tomorrow the company will begin to

Jap ms SIlye

Some of the papers have been pub
fishing dispatches from Japan to the
effect that that country purposes to go
to gold basis. The dispatches are
not true. In Japan there are two par.
ties just as there are parties in the
United States, and the ultra-conserva-
tive party, like the republican party in
this country and the tory or conserva-
tive party in England, has declared in
favor of the gold standard. But it il
not at all probable that the diet OF
congress of Japan will accept tht
plan.
1t is claimed that all Japan's silver
pieces are to be floated for one-hab
their present value, that her gold
pieces are, by law, to be doubled II
value, and that pieces of the value o.
the present silver yen will be doubled
in weight, and pieces one-half the siz,
of the present gold yen will be floateG
for the present gold piece. The pro-
position is sufficiently insane on tn,
face it to prove it's utter falsity. 1t il
evident that the lying campaign of tn,

Business Is Disappointing.

Co. s Weekly Review of Trade saws:
"In spite of the moderate improve
ment in most of the great industries,
business is disappointing. Expecta-
tions of a speedy end of the war in
Europe through Turkish victory have
helped to depress grain. Demands of
Austria and China have caused exports
of $500, 600 gold, merchandise i'm
ports are greatly increased and final
action of Congress on the revenue
question seems more remote. The cot
