"Dined With a Niger"

Washington. Oct. 1S.-The in
vitation of President Roosevelt to
Booker 7. Washington to dinner
Wednesday night has set all of the
South afame. The fact that the
President of the United States
dined with a man who has negro
blood in his veins has led all the
SOuthers editors to denounce them,
all the Southern Democrats, gold
and silver, to utter unkind criti-
cisms and even all of the Southern
white Republicans to shake .heir
heads and say:
"Well, any man has the right tC
invite anybody to dinner that he
pleases, but l never invited a ne
gro to dine with me-"
Local newspapers are being
flooded with letters on the subject
most of them criticising the Presi
dent, but some declaring that the
writers are glad that the President
has had the courage to make in
novations and break down the bar
riers of prejudice.

If HE WABBLES
The Marshal viii Decide He
Is Drunk.

Macon, Mo-, Oct. 17.-Marshal
a. j. Asbury, of Macon, has de-
cided to adopt a new method for
the purpose of defining the exact
state of inebriety of man ARE sted
on a charge of that misdemeanor.
Oral testimony alone is inadequate
to secure a conviction. The mar
shals plan is to draw a chalk line
on the station house floor about
sixty feet long and direct the pris-
oner to follow it from end to end
in the presence of picked com
mittee of good citizens. If he
wabbles he's drunk and the com
mittee of sober citizens will so de-
pose at the trial. If, however, he
follows the line from end to end he
will be discharged.

GOTTHARD SHOT HARD.
Determined to Provide Food
For His Family.

Macon, Mo-, Oct. 17.-Crazed
by long Jail sentence and his in
ability to provide food for his fam
lily, Gotthard KARIN, aged 80
years, a Finlander, Immediately
on his release, got his old shotgun,
went over into Henry NJ. Powell's
yard, south of Bevier, and shot a
pet cat and six turkeys for his
suffering family. He stood off
the farmer on whose domain he
was poaching, and it was a hard
struggle for the officers to subdue
him.
KARIN was placed in close
barred cell in the asylum here last
night, and kept everyone about
the place awake all night with his
shricking and singing. He can't
speak English, and his grotesque
motions are undecipherable to the
attendants He was put in Jail
last July for carrying concealed
weapons. His friends would have
paid his fine, but he refused to
permit it. He has been in Amer
lea eighteen months, and worked
in the mines near Bevier.

ALAS, POOR BUFFE.
He "Sees Things" Likely
Looking to a Plea Of
Insanity.
His Dead Wife Visits Him
In the Night.

Alfred Buffe, the coal miner,
who killed his wife at Vandalia a
short time ago, told the Vandalia
Leader the other day that his wife
had been making him visits from
the other world of late. Some
think Buffe's story is his first step
to a pleading of insanity when his
trial comes up at the next term of
the Audrain county Circuit Court.
The Leader publishes the follow
ing:
Alfred Buffe, who is in Jail at
Mexico for killing his wife, has
been "seeing things" He claims
to be able to see and commune
with departed friends and has had
some actual experience along this
line recently. Since his incarcera-
ton few weeks ago, he claims to
have had two visits from his wife.
On her first visit she came into
his cell and, approaching the cot
upon which he was lying, placed
her hands under his head and
raised him to Il sitting posture.
Then, he said, she forgave him
for killing her and wanted him to
forgive her for any unkind ness
she might have shown him.
She then told him to lie down,
which he did, and then she lay
down beside him, placing her arm
under his head. He felt that as
she had been restored to him he
was at ease. She told him to &c
to sleep and she would watch oven
him. He had reached a half-cOn-
scious state when he was aroused
by the rustic of dress passing
thru the bars and she was gone.
On the next visit she sat beside
him on the cot and they had long
talk. She told him to pray and
he would come out of the trouble
. all right. He says he was wide
awake when she came and wher
she departed. The prisoner in thu
cell adjoining states that he heart
