ACQUITTED BY THE CROWD.
How a Leadville Judge, Candidate fol
Reelection, Made Votes.

| Twenty years ago Powers was an
engine wiper in the shops at Burn
ham. But, losing an arm in railroad
wreck he was obliged to use his head
more and his limbs less in the busi-
ness of making living for himself
and little family, says the Denver
Times. Drifting to Leadville with the
first tide of fortune hunters, Powers
remained there as long as he could
consistently, and until the sheriff took
him down to Canon City to live per-
manently, that being considered a
healthier climate for a man of his
temperament Che had shot and killed
his son-in-law, Pat Kennedy, in a
friendly and go-as-you-please with
Colts revolvers). But Powers was not
nearly as vicious as he looked, and
during all the years that knew him
he had never once killed mana
pretty good record for that vicinity
He was always a potent political fac
tor and filed various positions Of hon.
or and responsibility, from justice Of
peace up to policeman and janitor OF
the court house and superintendent of
the chain gang. While dealing out
justice in the city hall Missourian
was brought before him for pre-
liminary hearing upon the charge Of
horse stealing. That was ranked as
a capital offense in Leadville in those
days and punishable with death. But
the culprit was from Joplin and had
many friends in the camp, albeit the
court room was crowded with them,
all determined, as every true Missouri
an is, to see justice done. In the midst
of the proceedings stentorian voice
was heard in the rear of the room
shouting:
1 move, your honor, that the prison
er be discharged"
That was all Powers wanted. To
convict the Missourian would have
been fatal to his hopes of re-elec-
ton, and without waiting for a second
to the proposition he put the motion
to the house and declared it carried
unanimously, which it was. The court
then adjourned to John Shea's where
the friends of the vindicated man did
the handsome thing by the Judge, the
clerk and all of the bystanders.

THREE HOURS OF CoURTsHIP.
Extensive Experience of Connecti-
cut Couple Aids a Quick Decision.

Chicago is reputed to be a city OF
quickly married people, but few of
them can hope to outrival John En-
gel of Poquonock and Catherine
BarckIey of Glastonbury, Conn.,, who
were married on New Years eve
after a courtship of three hours. 1t
is the fifth marriage of the bride,
and the bridegroom, who was married
once before, is the father of nineteen
children. Three of the previous hus-
bands of Mrs. Engel are dead and
she obtained a divorce from the
fourth. She has no children.
Engel is SO years old, while his
wife is So. The couple met by acct
dent on Friday evening, when Engel,
who is a shoemaker, closed up his
shop and went to make call on the
village barber. Mrs. Barckley, who
had resumed the name of her third
husband after ner divorce, is the aunt
Of the barber and was a guest at his
house. Engel and Mrs. Barckley were
mutually attracted and after a short
conversation he suggested that they
should get married. Mrs. Barckley
was willing, and they started at once
for the residence of the local min
lister. He was not at home, but that
did not dishearten the couple. They
boarded an electric car and after a
ride of four hours reached the home
of Rev. E. o. Tree, pastor of the Con-
gregational church at Windsor, who
at once performed the ceremony
which made them man and wife. Mr.
and Mrs Engel dispensed with the
formalities of honeymoon and
after their marriage went at once to
Mr.. EIngel's home.

THE FAIR SEX.

A girl thinks it mighty devilish to
whistle.
No girl is quite decided whether
she wants a job or a husband.
A North Atchison girl has raised
company without getting permission
from Gov. Leedy, and is captain of it.
She keeps it seven nights week.
This is the season when a woman
works hard to raise a few flowers in
order that she may have some to
send to her neighbors who didn't
take the trouble.
An Atchison girl is so intent upon
suffering with her steady at Camp
Alger that she eats pork and beans
three times a day, and is respondent
because she can't find any dust to go
walking in.
A woman does not care how warm
her dress really is if it looks cool
Women say they would rather
marry a bear than man shorter than
they are
Women talk more about man who
marries twice than they do about a
man who does not marry at all.
When man meets a girl who is
very bashful he admires her so much
that he isn't satisfied until he has
paid her enough compliments to give
her the assurance of the most self
assured girl.
We regret to learn that the war has
resulted in revival of that old
song, There Will be One Vacant
Chair" which girls with corkscrew
curls used to sing with a tremolo in
their voices.
The first six months after girl has
been graduated she talks of deciding
upon some career in tone that
implies that all she has to do is to
decide and success follows her de-
cision. This self-confidence very
soon gets tattered around the edges
There is some curiosity among the
mean men to know IL the cookbook
which is being compiled by certain
church society in town will give
recipes for .scold bites" to set out for
the men whose wives are called away.
to manage church socials.
Almost every woman envies bride
when she goes away on a wedding
trip. She has the best clothes of her
life, and money will be spent on her
more lavishly than ever before. 1t will
never be spent so freely again, but
the poor thing doesn't know that.

CATNIP AT THE ZOO.
A Morsel That Proved Tremendously
Popular.

People who live in the country know
well the herb called catnip. We have
seen it produce exacty the effect de-
scribed here on pet cat that lived IN
the city where it could not get the
plant.
Sometime ago au armful of fresh
catnip was picked and taken to Lin
coin Park to try its effect on the an
finals there. So far as Is known, cat
nip does not grow in the native homes
of these animals, so it was the first
time they had ever smelled it.
The scent of the plant filled the
whole place, and as soon as it had
reached the parrots corner the two
gaudily attired macaws set up note
that drowned thought and made for
the side of the cage, poking their beaks
and claws through. When the cat
nip was brought near them they be-
came nearly frantic. They were given
some and devoured it, stem, leaf and
blossom, with an avidity commensur-
ate with the noise of their voices.
The keeper and the catnip carrier
then made for the cage of Billy, the
African leopard Before the front of
his cage was reached he had bounded
from the shelf whereon he lay, appar-
emily asleep, and stood e1pectant. A
double handful of catnip was passed
through to the floor of the den. Never
was the prey of this African dweller
in his wild state pounced upon more
rapidly or with more absolute savage
enjoyment. First Billy ate mouth
full of the catnip, then he lay fiat on
his back and wriggled through the
green mass until his black-spOtted
yellow hide was filled with the odor.
Then Billy sat on a bunch of the cat
nip, caught leaf-laden stem up in
nose, eyes and head. He ate an adj
ditional mouthful or two and then
jumped back to his shelf, where he lay
the very picture of contentment.
In the tigers cage there is a very
young, but full-grown animal. When
this great, surly beast inhaled the first
sniff of the catnip, he began to NEW
like kitten Prior to this, the softest
note of his voice had been one which
put the roar of the big-maned South
American Hon to shame. That vi
cious tiger and his neutrality-suspicious.
mate fairly revelled in the liberal al
lowance of the plant which was thrust
into her cage. They rolled about in it

and played together like six-weeks-
old kittens. They mewed and purred;
tossed it about, ate of it, and after get
ting about as liberal dose as had
Billy, the leopard, they likewise
leaped to their respective shelves and
blinked lazily in the sun.
The big lion, Major, was either too
dignified or too lazy to pay more than
passing attentin to the bunch of cat
nip which fell to his lot. He ate
mouthful or two of it, licked his chops
in that's not half-bad" way, and
then went back to his nap. The three
baby lions quarreled over their allow
ance, and ate it every bit. Chicago

MRS MOBILES CASE
It Win Come Before the Prison Board This
Week

Week
Macon, Ca, March THE petition
in behalf Of Mrs MOBILES viii probably
he presented to the prison commission
within few days The petition
Itself VIII be very short, The argu-
ment will not be in writing,
itisa question among many wheth-
er or not the governor or the pardon
ing board has the power to pass the
sanity Of Mrs. Mobiles, and the majority
Of opinions is that they cannot. The
paraonlug power Of the governor lay
in he fact that he see psrsonable
eyidence to doubt the guilt Of the
party accused, or that there were GER
tam phases Of the crime which the
courts could not CONSIDER.
Ifit be the case that the governor
cannot pass upon the sanity of Mrs.
Mobiles she viii no doubt be left in the
position Of her going to the penitenti-
airy or being hung. The courts have
already said that they thought that
Mrs. Mobiles was not insane, and that
she had no legal right 20 appeal to the
courts on that ground. This is the
point which has always been contended
and always ruled against her.
If petition was submitted to the
governor By the citizens Of the state
it would not be for the governor to
send the woman to the asylum, but to
commute her sentence to life imprison-
ment 10 the penitentiary. They could
not ask that she be sent to the asylum,
for this would be question upon
which the governor cAnuot decide.
