YOUNG JAMES Is ACQUITTED.
Jury Out Less Than an Hour and the Yer
dict Loudly Applauded.

Kansas City, March 1.-Young Jesse
James, son of the notorious bandit
whose name he bears, was last night
adjudged not guilty Of completely in the
robbery of a Missouri Pacific express
train at Leeds, in the outskirts Of Kan
sas City. The robbery was committed
on Sept. % last. The jury was out less
than an hour, and the verdict Of ac-
quittal was reached on the first ballot.
The court room was packed with friends
of young James, among them being his
uncle, Frank James, Of st. Louis, and
the announcement Of the verdict was the
signal for applause and cheering that
neither judge nor bailiffs could suppress.
In reaching this verdict Of acquittal
the jurors were compelled to discredit
entirely the confession of Witness W.
w. Love- thug who had hand in the
crime on trial, and that of passenger
on the train held up. who positively
identified James as one of the robbers.
A strong alibi was put up for him, how
ever, by his grandmother, Mrs. Samuels,
his fathers mother, and her family, all
swearing that he was at her home the
night of the robbery.

Lansing, Mich, Feb. 25.-The legisla-
ture devoted the entire day to listening
to arguments by railroad attorneys

tutionality is based on the fact that the

es of property than is provided for as
pertaining the value of other property
Of the state, and that the penalty pro-
vided for failure to pay taxes promptly
by these companies is many times more
severe than that for not paying taxes
on other property.
It was maintained that the objection
of the people Is not to the method Of
taxing these companies, but that not
enough revenue is produced.
Lansing, Mich, Feb. 25.-The state
senate by a vote Of IL to has adopted
q concurrent resolution pledging itself
to make no change in the existing boun-
ty of 1 cent a pound, now paid by the
state on beet sugar manufacture.
Twelve senators were absent.
Lansing, Mich, Feb. Ex-Governor
Pingree is jubilant over the action Of
the special house committees in deciding
to report in favor Of the Atkinson rail-
road taxation bill, with slight amend
ments. 1t was supposed that when this
bill was referred to the special commit
tee several weeks ago it would never re-
appear. 1t is understood that the COM
mittee will also recommend the enact
ment of an income and inheritance tax
bill. The senate adopted a resolution
opposing the repeal of the beet sugar
bounty law.
Lansing, Mich, March 1.-The Pin
gree-Atkinson railway taxation bill has
passed the house by a vote Of II to %,
and two important suits by mandamus
were begun in the supreme court yes
terday to test the principle on which
the bill Is drawn. Telephone companies
are now taxed on that principle, and
the proceeds go to the primary school
fund. One suit Is begun by the COVER
nor against the auditor general to COM
pei the proceeds to go to the general
fund.
This suit will determine whether the
tax contemplated by the Atkinson bill
is a special tax. The other suit was
begun by the Tecumseh Telephone COM
pany against the auditor general to set
aside the tax levied under the act of
1881. This will test the constitutionali-

President Angel Asks Legislature for
$4,000 for improvements.
Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 25.-President
Angel has given out the appropriations
which the faculty wishes to get from
the state legislature now in session.
Altogether $1S0,000 is asked for from
the state The sum of 500 900 will be
used to increase the facilities Of the
department of science. Professor
Carhart will be given the entire use
Of the building now occupied by both
himself and DR.. Vaughan and new
building will be erected for the use of
Dr. Vaughan, Professor Rughard and
Professor Spaulding. The laboratories
have been crowded for the last few
years and this addition will greatly
increase the facilities Of the scientific
department.
The $50, 900 remaining will be devoted
to making more room for the univer-
sity hospital work. At present the two
medical schools each have large hos
pital building, but both are overcrowd-
ed. 1t Is the plan to give the regular
school the hospital now used by the
homeopathic department and erect a
new building for the latter. Beside
these definite requests a general ap-
preparation for the summer school has
been asked for. With this appropra-
ton II Is intended to reduce materially
the tuition for the summer school
courses and thus encourage graduate
students to come to Michigan for their
summer work

In favor Of the amendments. The mem
bers of the committee, of which Wild

the stand they had taken and stated
that the amendments were read in full

anything must have known what he was
voting for. Chief Schaefer had to inter-

become weak, complaining invalids as a
consequence.
There are probably several reasons for
this. One Is, that they lived more in the
open air, and another, and probably the
most influential of all, is that they were
less prudish than the women of to-day.
They were not ashamed to know something
of their own physical makeup. They were
not too nice to take care of their health in
q womanly way. Women nowadays suf-
fer untold tortures in silence, because of
weakness and disease of the distinctly
feminine organism, rather than consult a
physician, or even talk upon the subject to
their own husbands. They imagine that
troubles Of this description can only be
cured by undergoing the disgusting exam
nations and local treatment insisted upon
by the average modern physician. Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures all dis
eases peculiar to women IN the privacy of
their own homes. II does away with the
necessity for examinations and local treat
ment. II acts directly on the important
organs concerned, making them strong,
healthy and vigorous. II fits for wifehood
and the burdens of household duties. II

soothes pain. 1t torres and builds up the

How Did Judge Corbett Die?

Traverse City, Mich. Feb. 2S.-This

by the mysterious tragedy which ended
the life Of Judge Roscoe L. Corbett. A

Traverse City attorneys indicated that
the accident theory in connection with
Judge Corbett's death was wrong, and
that he had been the victim Of cold
blooded murder. This opinion was not
shared by hunting companions Of the
fudge, who accompanied him from
Boyne City to the upper peninsula.
These men maintained that Judge Cor
bett was accidentally shot by his son
Charles, who was with the party.
