had been raisd, and no doubt a way
would be found to get the relief funds

fact that the American government had
offered mediation and would do soagain
if it were acceptable.
Mr.. Kern of Illinois spoke in defense
of the army canteen. To say that they
said he, and of excessive indulgence in
intoxicating drinks to the extent of
making them injurious to the health
and morals of the soldiers, was to inn
peach the character of the army for dis
cipline and to class the military authori-
ties as weak and impotent. The COM
mon sense of the nation, he declared,
was against the unreasonable BILE jealous
ness of persons who resorted to trick
cry and political bulldozing to secure
the abolition of the canteen.

GRAY GOES FREE.
After Six Hours DeliberatiOn
Jury Acquits Him.

Chicago, March 27.-Dr. Robert E.
Gray, of Garden City, Kas.. on trial
here for eleven days in the criminal
court for the alleged murder of Irma
Brown, a young woman of his town, by
performing an operation, was acquitted
by the jury The verdict was sur
prise to the prosecution. The general
sentiment around the court house, how
ever, was that the accused would be
acquitted.
The Jurors said that they had been
guided in making up their verdict by
the courts instructions and not by the
evidence the arguments OF the attor-
neys or their own opinions. They said
that under the courts instructions they
could not do otherwise than let him go
free Judge Balls instructions pre-
scented nothing out of the ordinary ex-
cept that they set forth clearly that in
order to convict the jury must be sat
isfied that the proof of guilt was pos
itively established, otherwise the &C
cused should be given the benefit of any
reasonable doubt.
From 2 o'clock until nearly the jury
was celebrating upon its verdict. Its
long absence from the court room gave
rise to the impression that there would
be a disagreement.

viction. For hours the three who ia
vored liberating Gray argued with the
nine others and finally won them over
At five minutes before 9 o'clock the
jury filed into court and rendered its
verdict of not guilty. Each juror was
polled. Judge Ball then ordered the
release of DIR. Gray, who was congrat-

Terry will go, but nothing less will
tempt him to take passage on steamer.
AS far as the club is concerned it will
probably accede to McGovern's de-

MIR. CRAMER'S INVENTION.
Has a Scheme to Facilitate Digging
of Wells.

Joseph Cramer, formerly an employee
of the Santa Fe machine shop, but who
for some time has been making i'm
provements on a place which he bought
on East Hill. has rugged up an APP
paratus for assisting a man in digging
a we'll, which does away with the SER
vices of one person. 1t consists of a
windlass feet high, feet long, having
a roller 21s inches in diameter and four
feet in length on which the rope is
wound To one end of this is a cog
wheel IL inches in diameter and on the
other end one-half that size. There is
bucket-carrier having "a hooks fastened
to a chain and at the end of the car
rier is a dump half round at the top
and square at the bottom. This is fas-
tened to the carrier so that when the
bucket comes up out of the well one of
the carrier hooks catches in the bail,
moves it to the dump and sends the
bucket back to the man in the well.
The whole machine is on wheels so that
in case of blasting or for any reason it
may be easily moved away from the
well and as conveniently replaced. Mr..
Cramer is of an ingenious turn and has
some other devices underway for econo-
MIXING labor and time.
