SIX JURYMEA FOR ACQUlTTAL
But Were Persuaded Into a Com
promise by Other Jurors.
VERDICT ALLOWED TO STAND.
First Day Of September Term Fixed to
Sentence Indie, Mcintosh and
Johnson.
WILL THEN HEAR THE
MOTIONS FOR NEW TRIAL
Meanwhile Three Men Are Deprived Of
Their Liberty.
VISITED BY MANY FRIENDS.

The notable trial of j. b. Lin
die, Wade Mcintosh, Scott Pen
rod, Johnson Williams and Ed
Johnson under Indictment for
killing Henry Taylor in the Car
bondale clash of marching union
men came to close Sunday
morning about 10:30 o'clock,
when the jury rendered a verdict
Of two years Imprisonment at
hard labor against j. B. Indie,
Wade Mcintosh and Ed johnson,
and acquitted Scott Penrod.
The other defendant, Johnson
Williams had been dismissed by
the court early in the trial, the
testimony produced by the prose-
cution failing to develop any
conspiracy on the part of the Off
GERS, and proving that Williams
was not in the fight.
The Indictment charged con-
spiracy on the part Of all the
defendants to murder or do great
bodily harm to Henry Taylor,
William Cook and others and
the prosecution put up the SEM
blance of a fight to the end for
conviction as charged in the in
dictment and a life sentence.
The speeches of Judge Yost,
Bob Thomas and Commonwealth
Attorney Grayot were extremely
bitter, going outside the case
continually and appealing to the
basest passions and prejudices of
men. The bill of objections filed
by the attorneys for the defense
charge the Commonwealth's At
torney with using "inhamma-
tory, incendiary and abusive lam
guage" in his speech to the jury.
Judge Yost opened his speech
with the statement that ''this
was one of the greatest political
questions that ever invaded the
Commonwealth" and the de-
PENDANTS were made the scape-
goat for the alleged monstrosities
of the various corporations doing
coal mining business in Hopkins
county.
Below is appended the courts
charge to the jury, the defense's
bill of exceptions and the atii-
davit of the jurymen stating the
verdict was arrived at by COM
promise.
The regular term of court ex-

which the jury was summoned TO

held in Boston, June II TO IS,
one of the most important re-
ligious gatherings North America
has known, and perhaps the
greatest convention ever held in

National Secretary. Mr.. Jules
Siegfried, former Minister of
Commerce in the Republic of
France, arrived some days ago.
Two delegates are assured from
Russia. Mr.. Franklin Gaylord,
General Secretary and Father
Vassilief, priest Of the Greek
Church, who has been granted
permission by the Holy Synod Of
that church to attend this Con-
vention. This is a very impor-
tant recognition by the highest
authorities Of this work among
young men. There will also be
two visitors from Finland.
Already twelve hundred dele
gates are reported as definitely
planning to attend the Conven-
tion from the United States and
Canada, and thousand more is
the number estimated as coming
from States not yet reporting.
The delegate list includes rail
road presidents, bank presidents,
prominent clergymen, military
and naval leaders, and men at
the forefront in educational, re-
ligious, philanthropic and pro-
fessional life and in commercial
and industrial pursuits.
The sessions Of the Convention
will open Tuesday morning, June
| II, and continue through Sunday,
June 1G, and will be held in Me-
chanics' Hall, of Boston.
\ more imposing list of speak
ers and more attractive pro-
gram could be set forth in scarce
ly any great meeting.
The phases of Association ac-
tivity and the work of the Or
ganization among varied classes
of young men will be presented
with strength and dignity, and
the relation of the organization
to the industrial, educational and
religious life of both Christian
and non Christian nations will be
set forth.
An extensive and impressive
Jubilee exhibit, showing the evo-
luton of the Association work in
all departments, will be arranged
in the large Exhibition Hall of
of the Mechanic building, being
open for inspection beginning
Monday evening, Jane 10, and
remaining open throughout the
Convention. A photograph re-

THE AMERICAN GIRL
Is She Losing the Beauty That Was Once a National
 Boast?

Bright eyes, rosy cheeks, an elastic step and a good appetite are the birIhright of every American girl These are the conditions that denote perfect health. But; unfortunately every day are seen girls with pale, sal low compexions, languid, round shouldered and liStless, and the Ques- tion is asked whether the woman of today has lost the healthy beauty which was once a national character istic. One of the most common affiic- tions of womankind is anaemia, a watery condition of the blood. This causes untold misery and often leads to other and even more serious diseases It can be cured, however, as the fol- lowing interview in the Harrisburg Star-Independent will show. Miss An nie l.. Reel of No. 910 Green street, Harrisburg, Pa. who has been a sui ferer from this trouble in answer to a reporters question, said:
 Yes, I am entirely we'll now, but was very sick girl. About five years ago 1 had an unnatural craving for highly-seasoned food and after that I was afflicted with headache and my heart would beat about twice as fast as it should. My limbs got so weak that 1 had to rest on every step when go- ing up stairs. The color of my skin was like that of a dead person. My limbs and, in fact, my whole body would swell at times. The doctor who treated me said my complaint was anaemia.
 "The doctor told me if I had left the disease go few weeks longer I would have had dropsy. was under his care for several weeks, but with little change for the better"
 How, then, were you so completely restored to health" asked the reporter
 'I had been sick for two months when I began taking Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Tn about a week was feeling better. The head ache left me and I began to get stronger. took the pills for six weeks and became thoroughly cured"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are an unfailing specific for To- comotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheu- matism, nervous headache, the after effects of the grip. palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions and all forms of weakness.

New Zealand AbOrigines Supply
 Their Enemies Wish Food.

New Zealand Aborfgfnes Supply
 Their Enemies Wish Food.
 We are accustomed to speak of the hu- mane and chiyalrous manner in which modern fighting is carried on and to con- gratulate ourselves upon the advance which has been made in this respect.
 But is this advance as great and as real as we imagine? For example, how do our present day customs of gar com pare with the old time fighting methods of the MaOris, the natives of New Zea- land? 1t will surprise a good many peo- pie to hear that when band of Maori warriors was going to fight the warriors of another tribe it was not unusual for the numbers it was proposed to place in the field to be communicated to the ene my. Moreover, one side often provided the other with arms and provisions, so that the enemy might not be placed at too great disadvantage.
 Here are few stories which illustrate the generosity which the Maoris of for mer days displayed toward their enemies. A chief was asked why, when on cer tain occasion he had command of tbe road, he did not attack the ammunition and provision trains of the English. The Maori, utterly astonished at such Ques- tion, exclaimed, "Why, you fool, if we had stolen their powder and food, how could they have fought"
 Another chief, who considered that he had been insulted by the chief of neigh boring tribe, said that the other chief. had he not been much the stronger of the two in arms and ammunition, would not have dared to act in so insulting a man. ner. This speech came to the ears of the neighboring chief, who thereupon divided his arms and ammunition into two equal parts and sent one half, along with an invitation to fight, to chief No. 1.
 On another occasion a chief who was fighting against us and who was short of guns and powder sent this message to the governor: My custom with re- gard to my enemy is if he has not weapon 1 give him one, that he may fight on equal terms. Now, oh, governor, are you not ashamed of my defenseless handsY'
 A clergyman who lived for a long time In New Zealand relates how in one of the intertribal wars the besieged sent word to the enemy that they were short of provisions, and the besiegers at once handed over supply of food,
 But we need not go all the way to New Zealand for an example of supplying am- munition to an enemy, for, if the story be true, 1t would appear that something of this sort once occurred in the English channel, when a British admiral was try ing conclusions with Dutch admiral London Mail.

An expedition to Kolynsk, Russia, Is being made by Russian scientists in or der to bring to St. Petersburg the man. moth which has recently been discov- cred. It Is unique of its kind, It's hair, skin and flesh being entirely preserved, and there are remains of undigested food in its stomach.
 India, where about 500,O00 persons die annually, S93 were killed by snake bites. Their bite Is more often inflict- ed in houses than either in the fields or in the jungle. During the year in question ,374 wild animals were slaughtered. including II tigers, 1S6 bears. 1S4 leopards and 99 wolves; l3.- 272 snakes were killed.
 Experiment has shown that an cleo tric arc can be employed under water for fusing metal. The intense heat turns the water surrounding the arc into steam, thus forming an insulating cushion of vapor. It has been suggest ed that with proper apparatus the cleo tric arc could be employed by divers for quickly cutting through large chain cables or iron plates under water.
 Prof. Raphael Dubois of the Univer- sity of Lyons has produced some of the most curious lamps ever imagined, by cultlvating luminous marine mi- crobes in liquid medium contained in little glass vessels. If few of these living lamps are arranged about a bust ly visible, and photographs can be talk eIi of 1t. The actinic power of the light is, nevertheless, so feeble that several hours exposure is needed. With an- other form of lamp, filled with phospho- rescent bacteria, enough light is obtain ed to render printed page easily legi- ble.
 Prof. Hugo de Vries. the well-known Dutch botanist and biologist, Is credit ed with "momentous discovery" con corning the origin of species among plants. Briefly stated, his observations indicate that new species appear sud denly by mutation. never as the out come of a progressive variation. He ayers that he has been able, for the first time, to watch the formation and development of new species. A re- viewer of his work in the English scl- entifc journal. Nature, says: "The facts are so striking and convincing that an outsider, like the reviewer, can not but feel that new period in the theories of the origin of species and of evolution has been inaugurated."

ID the Pathological Department of the California State Mining. Bureau are now on exhibition four mummies, which form the subject of paper by pr. Winslow Anderson in a recent bull Ietin published by the bureau.
 These interesting remains were dis covered by Signor S. Marghieri on the eastern face of the Sierra Madre Moun- tains, Mexico, in a cave, the mouth of which had been so skillfuIly sealed with adobe plaster and natural blocks from the mountains as almost to escape de tection.
 At the extreme end of this natural sepulchre these bodies-a man, woman, little boy and infant girl, of whom no inscriptions or other evidences exist to reveal their race-had been placed with faces turned toward the rising sun.
 No artificial means of preservation had been employed. They were simply wrapped in burial shrouds, woven of various materials, cotton, hair and grasses, and their mummification had been brought about by the natural ac- tion of the extremely dry atmosphere of that region, which prevents decay.
 They have dried in the sitting pos ture, with hands crossed and knees drawn toward the chin, and are remark ably well preserved, the brain, heart, lungs, abdominal and pelvic viscera be- fx.o f,,ko 1,.sn A4 sistency.
 The man Is large and well-developed, with a large. head and broad shoulders, but has small hands and feet, with high arched instep.
 The woman is even better preserved. A heavy suit of hair still remains. Her hands and feet are small, the latter measuring only S15 inches in length, and her skull gives unmistakable evil dence of i6gh degree of intelligence. The facial 9gle of the man Is T de- grees and of the woman 69 degrees.
 The skull of the little boy, who is SUD- posed to have been about years of age Is unusually well shaped. and indicative of no meager mental capacity. and the facial angle Is n degrees.
 These craniai features are superior to those of the inhabitants of the same re- zion to-day. Moreover. the hair of the woman Is soft, silky. and brown in col or. wholly unlike that of the Indian race. In some respects these bodies ap- proach the Aztec type; but whatever the race may have been, it was one of superior development.
 The mummies were secretly trans ported from Mexico, to avoid trouble with the superstitioEs Indians of that locality.

 good the day that went away But let lem smile-I'm goin' back-I'm
 sick of the noise and fuss, Where couple of dollars count for more
 than the life of common cuss; They'll nobody notice I've went away-if you told 'em they wouldn't care, But somebody's face'll be full of joy when she greets her boy back there. I'm goin' back, for I've had my fll-I'ye
 saw what there is to see; The city may still be the place for you,
 but it's lost its charm for me; And won't I be lonesome there, you say,
 with the people so far apart? Well, mebby they're few and far be-
 tween, but each of 'em's got a
 heart;
 There ain't no hundreds of thousands
 there to push you around, know, Not carin' a cent where you're comin' from or where you're tryin' to go For the one that's jostled day after day
 with never a friend to greet, There ain't a lonesomer place OH earth than the city's crowded street. I'm goin' back where the dogs asleep on the step by the kitchen door, With his nose pushed, down between his paws-I'm sick of the smoke and roar;
 There's money to make where the crowds are thick and they're tryin' to rip things loose There's money to get if you've i;et the grit, but. dang it all! what's the use?
 They hustle for dollars all through the day and dream of dollars in bed, And forgive the gougin fellow may do as long as he gets ahead They hustle and hustle and coop them selves in dark little holes and fret And honor a person accordin' to the money he's managed to get. I'm goin' back where the poplars stand in tall rows down the lane, Where the bobsled's settin' beside the barn, defyin' the sun and rain; Where the birds are singin' away as though they were hired to fll the air
 With a sweetness that nobody ever can know who was never a boy out there;
 I'm goin' back where they'll not expect me to sit in the kitchen when I'm courtin' the girl love because I'm workin' for other men Where the richest among emil shake my hand, instead of lettin' me see That they think the money they've got must make them a blamed sight better than me. I'm goin' back, and you'll stay here and rush, in the same old way, Coin to work and then goin' home-the same thing day by day And you'll think you're havin' high old time and I'll pity you, lookin' back (From where 1 whistle across the tields) at you in the same old track!- I'm goin' back, but the crowds won't know, and they'll still keep rushin' on;
 They'll never notice that some ones face Is missin' when I am gone No, they'll never notice that some ones gone-if they did they wouldn't care
 But every tree'll be noddin' to me when turn up the lane back there. Chicago Record Herald.
