JUROR is VERY SICK
POsTPONEMENT of THE THOR
CASE NECESSARY.
Mrs. Nick Can Not he Compelled 10
Repeat Her Confession II She
Doesn't Wish To.

New York, November 1.-THE trial OF
Martin Thorn was not resumed today owing
to the dangerous illness OF Juror Mangus
Larsen, who is suffering from appendicitis.
Three physicians this afternoon announced
the only hope OF Larsen's recovery lies In
an operation. They said Larsen was in
danger of death and that they had notified
his wife. II Mrs. Larsen consents, an opera
ton will be performed In case the opera
ton is a success 1T will not be possible .for
Larsen to be up before three weeks. This
will probably necessitate the impaneling
of new jury.
All the evidence already put in by the
prosecution viii have TO lie gone over agar
and Mrs. Mack will have to undergo an.
other ordeal. II she refuses to go on the
stand The confession she made can net bt
used against Thorn.

APPEAL FOR AID
For the yellow Fever Sufferers of
Scranton and Vicinity.

Scranton, Miss, November S.--For two
months the yellow fever has ravaged our
town and the surrounding territory. while
our poor laborlng people, crcircled on all
sides by rigorous quarantine and the
majority of them thrown out OF work by
the closing down OF nearly all our indus
tries have baen reduced TO the most abject
poverty, their condition being greatly ag-
gravated by the fever, which has invaded
nearly every home in the town. Our CON-
mittee has sent several appeals for aid in
behalf of our suffering p1or, but while
we have always received generous responses
the various amounts contributed to our
fund have not been sufficient for the work
we have In hand and while We have re-
lievod the distress and suffering OF many
a sick or needy family, we have been
greatly hampered in our work by scarcity
of funds, and now find ourselves with SICK
and poverty stricken people appealing tt
us for aid en- all sides and not cent left
in our treasury to relieve them with.
The yrecenit cool weather has given the
fever a set back, and we are promis5d
frost by the weather prophets in a rev
days, but the weather has been quite warn
for the pas. three days and the fever Il
likely, to take fresh hold II this warn
weather continues. Even when frost doe!
come, it will be week or two before wori
starts up again, so we can safely look TO-
at least two weeks Siege yet, and In thu
meantime we need money to pay for nurses
and medicines for the sick and food for thu
hungry. The need is urgent, and we mop
those who have escaped the aifiiciion VIII
come to our assistance.

lowing gentlemen:

dent Boyce. committees were appointed
and the delegates went into executive
session. The convention will be in ses-

bers of the Federation can do In To arm,
and he urged that all members see that
ways and means are provided so that
every member can lie furnished with
the latest improved rifles. which can he

tion on this important question, So that

President Boyce says: THE constttu-
tion should he so amended as To declare
all members OF the National Guard In
eligible To membership and withhold
our patronage from all companies and
individuals or organizations where any
member of the National Guard IL en-
ployed or admitted to membership"
He further said: Corporations are

pressed by the courts OF the country
