A verv cur;ona case ia record,

- A very curious case is recorded
in the surgical history of the civil
war, in which three officers we're hit
at the same time. One had his leg
from the knee down carried away, but
he rode ten miles to the hospital.
Another lost his little finger, and he
became raving maniac. While a
third was shot through the body, and, !,
though he did not shed drop of blood
externally, dropped dead from the
shock.
The meek may inherit the earth,
but if they ever try to get possession
they will have hard time proving
their identity.
Even the square peg in the ronnd
hole may accomplish something by
pegglng away.

Spirit Of the Convention.

Other years in the history OF the
Prohibition party in Minnesota have
been marked by an intense dogged
determination which has shrunk from
no sacrifices and known no defeat.
While no less, but rather more than,

Rev. Stanley B. Roberts.
Rev. Stanley B. Roberts of Mime
apolis addressed the convention. He
said in part:
f. The liquor traffic ought to die be-
cause it is the enemy Of the individu-
al, Of the home, of commerce, of the
nation and Of the church. No man has
any knowledge of the awful power
drink has upon the individual save he
who has been under the power of this
appetite. It consumes the mind and
purpose and drags him down, and as
the chief enemy of man, the drink
traffic should die. It DESTROYS the
home. Anything that threatens the
home imperils the nation. Drink dis
lntegrates the home, and thus strikes
at the very foundation of the nation.
The friends of the saloon have point
ed to the traffic as a great industry,
and have claimed that as such it is
in way beneficial to humanity. A
close analysis of the commercial value
of the drink traffic will convince the
intelligent man that the saloon is
really pirate upon @li.aacA sea of COM
merce, and that the traffic, instead of
standing with other Industries, is, in
the last analysis, destructive to all
industries. AS an enemy of the nation
the liquor traffic is clearly seen in it's
manipulation Of politics. Nearly all
that is detrimental to political life
in the nation is traceable to the ga
loon. The boss Is possible, the cor
rupt politician is possible, because tho
saloon debauches the primary and
ballot box. To save the nation we
must kill the saloon. That the saloon
is the arch enemy Of the church, all
will concede. In the church is our
great hope. She is slow to act, but
God Is behind her and she will act in
time. She has voting ability to de-
stroy the saloon, and we must mobil-
ize and crystalline this ability at the
ballot box"
During the delivery Of this address,
Mr.. Roberts made a test Of the last
point, and ascertained by a rising
vote that nearly every delegate was
church member.

IDEA IS PREMATURE.
Winston Churchill Says Boers Have
 Not Yet Raised Siege.

London, February 27.-Winston Churchill. in a dispatch to the Morning Post from Frere Camp, dated Sunday, says:
 "Ths idea that the Boers are raising the siege of Ladysmith is premature The ad- vance is being pursued in the face of the most stubborn opposition and of heavy loss. President Kruger's grandson Is among the Boers killed.''
 Mir. Churchill then proceeds to describe heavy fighting last Friday, in which the Inniskillings approached within 800 yards of the summit of a rocky Boer position, and then gallantly charged in the face or a hail of bullets. He says:
 After repeated attempts. however, and having lost heavily, they recognized that they were unable to prevail. Nevertheless, they refused to retreat, but lay down on the slope behind a shelter of walls. The Connaughts and the Dublin Fusiliers were sent to their support, but the light faded and the night closed in before the main att tack had developed

SENATOR JONES
 IS INTERVIEWED Democratic Party Will Be 0p- posed to Imperialism. SILVER PLANK IN PLATFORM His Party Has Always Favored Expan- sion of Trade But Republicans
 Have Discouraged it By
 Protective Tariff
SIL YER PLANK IN PLATFORM

St. Louis, February 26.-The Post Dis patch to-day says: Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the democratic national com mittee, who is in this city. was asked what would be the position of the democratic party on the issue of expansion in the com ing campaign GIe said: '"The democratic party will be opposed to imperialism, and by that mean the acquisition of territory remote from this country, and dts govern ment, either as a part of the United States or as colonies. The democratic party has always favored the extension of our com merce, while the republican party by its protective tariff policy has always opposed and discouraged it. The democratic party will continue to favor legitimate means of expanding and extending the commerce of the United States"
 Do you think silver has paled any as an issue before the American people?"
 You know as much about that as I do Conventions and platforms don't make is- sues. The wishes and opinions of voters make them. The democratic party is the party of bimetallism, and its declaration in the next platform on this question will be as strong as 1t was in 1S96 But whether silver. or opposition to trusts, or imperial ism will claim most attention from the peo- pie, is something cannot tell you. I think Bryan will be the next democratic nominee for the presidency"
 From what section of the country should the vice-presidential candidate come from in order to further strengthen the ticket?"
 ''I don't know. I don't think it makes much difference, if he is the right man for the nomination"
 Twill the rise in the price of cotton and the probability of the Nicaraguan canal be- ing built have a tendency to weaken the democrats hold on the south?'
 1T think not.
 "Will you remain at the head of the na- tional committee throughout the cam paign?"
 "I will decide the question when I come to it."
 Senator Jones said he had not heard any, thing of the concerted movement among general passenger agents of railroads to request the commdttee to change the date of the convention from July 4. "What is that to us. Persons who go to the conven- ton do not go on the 4th. They go before the 4th, and I cannot see how holding the convention on that date will interfere with the passenger traffic on that day"
 The occasion of Senator Jones' visit to St. Louis is the marriage of his son, James K. Jones, Esq. to Miss Annie Taylor.

INJUNCTION SUITS TO FOLLOW The Blue Grass State Will Now Be Without a State Government
 Until the Courts Ren-
 der Decision.

Frankfort, Ky. February 26.-The state contest board this afternoon awarded cer- tificates of election to all of the democratic contestants for minor state officers. Im- mediately afterward the contestants were sworn in, they repaired to the state house in body, where they made formal de- mand on the republican incumbents for pos session of the offices, but the demands were not acceded to.
 The democratic contestants sworn in are Secretary of State c. B. Hill of Clark coun- ty, Attorney-General Robert c. Brecken- ridge of Boyle county, Auditor Gus c. Coul ter of Graves county, Treasurer Wilbur Hager of Boyd county, Superintendent of Public Instruction H. V. McChesney of Liv- ingston county. Clerk of the Court of Ap- peals Shackleford administered the oath of office to all the contestants.
 The principal grounds set out in the re- port for the finding in favor of the demo- cratic contestants are:
 Because of militaryinterference in Louis- vile, on account of which the election there should be thrown out entirely the alleged action of Judge Toney in granting an in- junction allowing Brown inspectors inside
 
 of the federal court contributed to these by threatening charges to the United States grand jury. 1t Is charged that Judge Evans charge to the grand jury was a part of a conspiracy, and on this point the report of the commissioners says:
 The Reign of Terror
 This conspiracy to create what might be truthfully denominated a reign of terror to dntimidate voters was materially aided by the action of the federal judge for the dis trict of Kentucky.
 Tn the early part of October. 1899, this judge delivered to the grand jury of his court a charge of such character as was perhaps never before heard in a, federal court. The substance of this charge was that the judge anticipated that there were going to be grave infractions of the law at the coming election, and while not stated in express terms. the implication was clear from his language that these infractions were to be committed by the democrats.
 'It was clearly intimated in this sSdress to the voters of the state, under cover of a charge to the grand jury, that these antici- pated violations of the law would be severe ly and summarily punished in the federal courts, and the grand jury was adjourned to convene after the election for the ex- press purpose of indcting persons for crimes not yet committed. It would seem that no doctrine ds better established than that the federal courts have no shadow of Jurisdiction in the punishment of offenses committed in elections concerning state officials only. Commenting on the sections of the revised statutes of the United States which this judge made the basis of his charge to the grand jury. or rather his threatening address to the democratic voters of the state Judge Hughes, in the case of the United States vs. Munford, 16 federal report, says:
