GILMAN's CRIME KrUALLEp.
Dividend by the Estate OF the Mount
Pleasant superiuten dent.

Des Afoines. Aug. 20.-When the leg
islature appropriated $500 to make
up the shortage of DR.. IL. \. CHI
man, former superintendent of the
hospital for insane at Mt. Pleasant.
on account of his enlightenment of
funds belonging to the patients it
was thought that the loss Of the re-
endorsement would be almost total.
This is disproyed, however, by no.
tice Just received by the board Of con-
troll to the effect that dividend of
seven per cent had been declared
on the estate of VIZ. Gilman and the
states share Of this dividend IS
$362.36.
The fact that the payment is a
dividend declared on the estate since
the property Of DR.. Gilman went into
the hands of George II. Spahr. who
was appointed by the court as eS-
ecutor, is very encouraging in that it
gives promise that the state may
eventually be fully reimbursed.

Cuitcd States VIII Merely Act to Protect
Citizens in Colombia.


Citizens in Colombia.
Washington. Aug. Secretary Of
State Hay left Washington. and has
gone to Canton. where he will have
a conference with President McAln-
lev on the situation in the northern
part of South America and on the
Isthmus OF Panama. The situation
Viii be thoroughly gone over. and q
line Of action will be mapped out to
meet any emergency that may arise
In its general outlines the admins
tra.ion's policy is well understood IN
Washington. There is to be 10 inter
ference in the internal affairs OF any
of the South American republics, nor
is there to he any intervention IN m
ternationaI affairs without the con-
sent of both parties to any contro-
versy. unless such interference or in
tervention becomes necessary Tor the
protection of life and property OF
citizens of the United States, and the
fultiliment Of obligations assumed by
this government under the treaty of
1886.
This is the policy of the United
States in it's bearing on the southern
republics. In its bearing toward the
the nations OF Europe it is just as
clearly defined. The Monroe doctrine
is to be upheld. and the United States.
while refraining from meddling with
the affairs Of these countries, Will IN
sist that Europe shall do the same.
The policy of non-intervention will
speedily become one of vigorous in
PREVENTION if any European country
undertakes 10 take hand in the diff
Guilty.
DR. Martinez Silva. minister from
Colombia. states in the most positive
manner that neither he nor his gov
eminent has ally suspicion whatever
of the motives of the United States.
and they feel certain that under no
circumstances would this govern
ment go farther than to fulfill its
treaty obligations if the situation
should unhappily require such action.
I'VE feel,'' said he, that we can
trust implicitly in the high sense Of
right and justice Of the American
people"
Senior Pulido, the charge d'atfaires
of the Venezuelan legation, was
equally as emphatic in his assurances
that his government did not distrust
the United States.
No news of any kind was received
from any of the countries involved
in the recent disturbances yesterday.
This is regarded at the state depart
1nent and at the legations as an indi-
cation that the situation is no worse.
Both the navy and state depart
1nents were gratified to learn yester-
day afternoon that the battleship
Iowa had sailed from San Francisco
for Panama. This assures the pres
ence ON the west side of the isthmus,
OF force adequate to cope with any
situation that is likely to arise there.
No orders have yet been issued for
an increase Of the naval force on the
east side of the isthmus.

Denison, Aug. 20.-Thc coroner's
Jury in the Arion murder case has
brought in it's verdict. Beyond es-
tablishing the identity Of the muir
dered man as J. II. Love and obtain
ing information as to the means by
which he was killed the inquest
brought nothing to light. There is
no clue TO the murderer and the case
is decided mystery. The officers
have not given up, but at present
there is but small hopes that the
guilty party will ever be arrested.

said that worry over fear of losing

night and is given little more pay than a day laborer. He is compelled to listen to the wrangle of lawyers. l hope that the time will come when the juror will be treated like a gen tleman and when he will receive the pay of business man. I also hope that the jury system of conviction will give way in which the concur renee of q reasonable number of jurors shall determine the verdict.
 Ut is one of the duties Of Ameri- can citizenship to perform the duties of a witness when summoned into court, although under the present system the witness is treated like a liar and is browbeaten by opposing lawyers. But the juror and the wit ness should strive for their own ele- vation, and should perform their du- ties of citizenship in these respects when called on to do so.
 ''It has been said that prohibitory laws are the most certain incentives of perjury known. Both witnesses and jurors are parleying with conscience, and their attitudes spring from objec- ton to the law. I do not mean to say that some of them may be unwise. I don't mean to say that sometimes the people may be made good by statutes or ordinances, but do wish to say that when city passes an ordinance it is the duty of it's residents to uphold it.''
