OUR FOREIGN TRADE.
Matter Of Treating Agricultural
Products to be InVesti-
gated Soon.

Washington, D. c., March 2O.-Sec-
retary of Agriculture Wilson said to-
day that as soon as the beef certifca
ton regulations, which took effect on the
18th inst, got into regular working
order and were properly understood by
the shippers the matter of the treatment
Of our agricultural products abroad
would be taken up. There is still some
little misunderstanding as to the certi-
fcation, some shippers furnishing a copy
Of certificate where the original is re-
quired and there are other minor def
ciencies in evidence, but everything is
expected to be working soon without
these troublesome delays.
Col. J. Fl. Brigham, the incoming as
sistant secretary Of agriculture, in an
interview expressed the opinion that the
agricultural outlook was very hopeful
and that the President, Congress and the
department would thoroughly cooperate
in the interests of the farmers.

st. Louis, Mo. March 19.-Advices
from Charlottesville. Mo-. a town on the
Mississippi river bank in the extreme
southwestern part of the state, are to
the effect that levee fifty miles below
that place is reported to have broken and
that seventeen lives have been lost. Eff
forts are now being made to verify the
story. The river continues to rise at
Charlottesville and the pressure on the
levee is great. All weak spots arc being
strengthened but the work is handi-
capped by rain, as the earth used in
repairs is turned into mud. Many fani-
lies living on the river bank in the
country have abandoned their houses and
taken refuge in Charlottesville.

nocent of the whole crime. Jackson has
said as much, but it seems it will not
save me. cannot say any more l will

heads during the prayer. Walling's eyes

Walling whispered, go, go, co.

evidently strangled and the necks were
not broken. Both were nervy at the drop

dead. Mailing drew up his feet and his
body contracted several times in great
agony. Physicians pronounced both dead
and the announcement was made but the
crowds still fingered about the jail. Jack
son was dead i'll six minutes; Mailing
died first.
Just before the bodies were taken
down the crowd rushed up and was or
dered back by Sheriff Plummer. Jack
sons face, with the exception of his open
mouth and blue lips, was not dlshgured.
His neck was not broken. The rope
made a deep furrow on the neck under
the chin.
When Jackson's body was placed in
the coffin the face was very pale. The
lid was placed over him and the curious
crowd not allowed to view the body.
The remains will be taken to Wiscas
sett Me-, for inter1nent.
When the black shroud was removed
from W3lllnO his tongue DrOtruded his
lips fell and were discolored, presenting
a horrible sight. Neither of the pris-
oners' necks was broken. Walling's
body was placed in casket and taken
away from the jail for removal to Ham
ilton tonight. The funeral of Jackson
will be held here and that of Walling
at Hamilton.
Pastor Lee was overcome after his
prayer at the final scene on the scaffold
and had to be carried away.
