SMITHS TRIP
TO ASYLUM
His Father Tells Of Young Mans De-
tendon in Massi|lon and
Reason for Release.
INQUEST may last SEVERAL DAYS.

Before any of the experts were put
upon the witness stand in the lunacy
inquest on the person of Melvin r.
Smith, who shot and killed Conductor
James Shelter. court took an adjourn
ment until Monday morning at Q
o'clock. ..
The postponement of the hearing
was asked by Attorney James Sterling,
who appears for Smith. He wanted
time to prepare his hypothetical ques-
ti0ns to submit to the doctors who
are to testify.
Friday afternoon was given to the
completion of the testimony of tho
father of the prisoner; Reuben Smith.
He told of the two times the boy had
been In the asylum at Massillon. The
first time was in 1899. The boy was
there twelve days. when the authori-
ties consented to his release.
Two years later. after he had left
home on one OF his wandering trips,
he was sent to the hospital. This was
April 8. 1901. That time he was In
the institution eight or ten days Tho
father had him removed for the rea-
son that he was confined in a depart
ment with lot Of violent and hope
lessly insane patients and he feared
that II he was not removed he would
socn be lunatic. The father gave
bond In the sum OF $1,000 and Sc
cured his sons release. After his re-
turn. he went to work and had been
working steadily until within a short.
time before the tragedy.
Prosecuting Attorney r.. II. Day
cross-examined the father to some ex-
tent. He drew out of him that tho
prisoner had never attempted any vio-
lence that he knew of. He had wreck /,
ed the lookup at Alliance and ut
Beaver Falls and tried 10 set fire to
the jail In Canton when placed in the
cell. M
The father did not regard him as
dangerous until the morning of the
shooting. Then he was afraid of him.
It was also drawn out that two rela-
uves who were weakminded were in
the county infirmary instead OF the
asylum. e-4e -tths.
It is stated that in case the present
hearing does not result In finding
Smith insane. his attorneys can de-
mand an inquest with Jury OF
twelve to pass upon the question, and
II that fails. then insanity can be set
|up as defense when the regular trial
takes place In common pleas court. z
It IL expected that the hearing will
consume all OF Monday and Tuesday.

MUSTACT
More Delay viii Result in Treaties
With Nicaragua and Costa Rica'
For Canal.
HAY Calls halt ON MORE DEMANDS.

Washington, Nov. 21.-The check In
the negotiations with Colombia rela-
tive to the Panama canal has given
great encouragement to the friends OF
the Nicaraguan project and the first
evidence of renewed activity on their
part was the appearance at the state
department yesterday Of Senior Corea'
Nicaraguan minister to Washington
Secretary Hay has never taken the
ground that the negotiations WIN
Nicaragua and Costa Rica were ter
initiated by the passage of the Spoon
er act.
Secretary Hay may proceed to draw
up a treaty with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica on the lines of the protocols
laid before the last senate and sub
nit It to the senate at its next SEES
zion along with such a treaty with
Colombia as he may be able to con-
clude. In this way the senate itself
might decide whether or not the co.
lombian treaty is satisfactory and II II
should decide in the negative then II
will have at hand the Nicaraguan-
Costa Rican treaties, so that there
would be no excuse for delay In the
canal project.
AS for the Colombian negotiations, II
can be stated that the United States
has now gone to the practical end oi
the concessions it is willing to make;
1t has received from Colombia a men,
orandum noting a number objections
to its proposed treaty. Some of these
have been admitted to be well taken
but the great majority have been re-
garded as either in contradiction OF
the terms of the Spooner act or In
admissible for other reasons. The
Colombian minister here has been no
titled Of the decision reached and Is
expected to make further reply either
accepting or rejecting our last prop
osition. .t
The state department does not re-
gard the objections lodged by Colon.
bia as material; the Colombians on
their part think that they are vital
Such, for instance, Is the difference
over the tenure Of the United States
In the canal strip. This has been al
luded to before as one easy of ad-
justment but II now appears that the
Colombians do not see their way tc
accepting any Of the compromising
propositions on this point offered by
the United States. Prominent sena-
tors who have been consulted by the
state department have indicated their
strong opposition to the acceptance
Of hundred years lease with provi-
sion for renewal as sufficient to meet
the provisions of the Spooner act.
Nothing less than perpetual control
as set down in the act will satisfy
them. The Colombians say that would
be violation of their constitution
But careful reading of the Colombian
constitution to the officials here does
not satisfy them that there is any such
prohibition against alienation OF ter
ritory as is represented.

and the freeing came too soon. But
every one starts in a wild rush for the
tree. All excitement. A careful ex-
animation shows an animal in the low
or branches. and the fellow who bosses
the dog takes old Ben by the back of
the neck and yanks him away, NUT
teriug. Come out of this, You old
fool, you. Don't you know the differ
ence between a house cat and coon?'
But 1t is not always disappointment,
" hen coons are caught the sport is
worth all the labor and hardships that
are endured. The dogs catch trail
in corn field or along some spring
run where the coon has been fishing
for crawfish. For long time 1T is
slow work as the devious trail Is fol-
lowed through water, along fences and
over the ridges. The clear tones of
the hound come over the night air
and send thrill of expectation
through every nerve of the hunter.
The trail gets warmer. The music
more continuous. Pretty soon they
are running without loss. The coon
has stopped trying his tricks. He is
cutting for den tree, II he reaches
that he is safe. @
The pace gets so hot that the game
hos to take to tree that is not of his
own choosing. Up he goes and the
dogs follow close upon his heels. When
;hey carry the track to the foot of the
tee, they bark excitedly for mo-
ment; and then they make circles
around the tree to see IL the. coon has
come down again. This trick is often
used by coons.
When satisfied, they go back and
steady and clear come the sharp, short
harks that show that the dogs are
barking up instead of trailing. The
owner Of the dog can always tell what
his dog is running by the tone of his
tonguing.
After the coon is treed the sport be-
gins. Some venturesome climber will
go into the branches and shake him
off. This gives the dogs good chance
to have fight that is exciting under
the fitrul rays of the lanterns. Some
persons shoot the coons from the
branches and there is then little fight
in them, as they will cling to the tree
as long as they have much strength.
. 'Possums are>freQuently found while
hunting at night When the dogs
catch them they curl up and pretend
to be dead, and the dogs do not hurt
them much. If let alone they soon
come to life again and make their es-
cape. ..u
Occasionally the dogs will run across
little black and white animal which
is not game" in any sense of the
word, yet few dogs or men are game
enough to go into mixup with him.
The dogs dread him and the hunter
prefers to make detour. This is the
skunk or pole cat After a dog has
had a skirmish with one Of these od-
orifercus animals, he can not run n
track His nostrils have too much
perfume of another kind to assail
them, and the result is that the coon
hunt for the night is off.
Next week will complete the hunting
season for 1902. There will be one day
of the week following, December l.
Every hunter in town, almost, and in
the country as well, is expected TO be
in the field on Thanksgiving day. 1t
is a general holiday, in the shops and
factories and housed-up humanity will
take this opportunity to get in the
field. -.

Why a Sow Eats Pigs.

Common sense tells us that
SOW never eats her pigs be.
cause she loves them, and
when she does there is always
some cause for it. A writer in
the Farmers Review believes
constipation is back of the
whole business. Here are his
views on the matter.
We have often heard people
say that feeding che SOW two or
three pounds of salt pork day
or two before narrowing that
she would not eat her pigs.
Now the idea is all right. The
salt pork acts as a laxative and
prevents constipation. Any
thing else would do as we'll
that would produce the same
effect. Oil-cake, lnseed oil or
Epson salts would have the
same influence. Perhaps the
best method to follow is to give
the sow about two ounces of
raw linseed oil in her feed
twice d week for about two
weeks before she is due to far.
row. Corn should form but a
small proportion of their ra
ton. Not to exceed two ears
apiece, twice day, as it is toe
fattening and very liable tc
produce thumpy pigs. The SOW
should receive plenty of good,
pure drinking water every day
and during cold weather Il
should be warmed a little TO,

GEN. MALVAR SURRENDERS.
Well-Known Filipino Leader Gives
Up UncOndftionally-En ARMED
Resistance in North Philippines.

Washington, April 1.-THE war de-
partment has received a cablegram
from Gen. Chaffee, dated Manila,
Wednesday, in which he says:
Unconditional surrender Malvar to-day
to Brig. Gen. J. Franklin Bell. Organized
armed resistance to United States termi-
mated department North Philippines"
Manila, April 17.-Gen. Malvar has
Internationally surrendered to Brig.
Gen. J. Franklin Bell at Lipa, Batan-
gas province, with the entire insur-
gent force of the provinces Of La
guna and Batangas. Gen. Bell says
that his QBell's) influence is sufficient
to qucll the insurrectionary move
ments in Tayabas and Cavite prov
inces and capture all those in the
field who have not yet surrendered,
but Malvar has ordered the complete
surrender of every insurgent to the
nearest American force. Gen.
Wheaton, reporting to the division
headquarters, says that all resist
ance in his department has ended and
that the surrcnders just announced
mean that the ports will be opened
and that the Filipinos in the deten-
ton camps can be allowed to return
to their homes in time to plant the
crops. Gen. Wheaton is especially
pleased with Gen. Bells care of the
natives confined in the camps. The
officers in charge are held personally
responsible for the quality and guam
tity of the food served out and for
the general welfare of the occupants
of the camps.
Gen. Wheaton gives Gen. Bell great
credit for his indefatigability in con-
Quoting the campaign. He was in the
field on horseback day and night, per-
sonally experimenting the most ardu-
GUS operations. The people of Ma
Mia are delighted at the prospect Of
resumption of trade with the paci-
fed provinces and arc anxious to show
Gems. Chaffee, Wheaton and Bell thei:
appreciation of the fact that the insur-
rection is really over. About $500 RI
ties have been received by the Amer.
lcan officers in Batangas and Laguna
provinces during the past four months.
Gen. Malvar personally requested an
interview with Gen. Bell in order to
make his complete submission.
