Arrival mt Lees Summit, With the
Pine Box Chi BY
Relic Hunters.

Lees Summit, Mo-, Oct. 23.-The
body of Jim Younger, the bandit, who
shot himself at st. Paul, arrived here
Wednesday, and probably will be
buried in the family lot Thursday.
PallbeareEs have been selected from
Younger's former Missouri friends,
several of whom knew him from child
hood, and served with the Youngers
under Quantrell. When the coffin ar
rived it was seen that many splinters
had been cut from the pine box in
closing it, presumably by relic hunt
ers who had met the funeral party {
different points along the route from
the north.
A queer BIRD.
Sidney Smith described the or
nithorhynchus paradoxus as quad

The Law in Brief.

Before any person can exercise the
privilege Of selling liquor even by
license, such person desiring to procure
license must deliver to the clerk.
1st. A sworn statement Of the value OF
l;onors about to be offered tor sale.
2nd. He must make bond for 500,
with at least one good surety TO COM

for money, ETC. IN the house wnere
he sells liquors. or in any other place
under his control, either directly y or
indirectly, and that he will report any
gaming etc. to the grand jury.
1t is further made unlawful for any
person to sell, or offer to sell, lntoxlcat.
ing liquors. until he has appeared,
before the clerk of the county ana
taken an oath not to mix or adulterate
liquors etc.
It is further provided that every
license issued without such oath being
taken and endorsed thereon, and III
case of partners unless taken and SUBJ
scribed by all the partners, shall pc
void. Every agent employed III
snch business shall take an
oath not to sell to minors, and not 10
allow gaming etc., ana to report any

THESE are plain and unambiguous
provisions Of the law. and 1T is the
duty Of the clerks to take said oaths
and bonds before he issues sucn
licenses, and every license issued WITH
out the oath and bond being given: is
void, and makes the person selling

THE
TOTAL ABSTAINERS
Regarded as Super Standard BY Life
Insurance Companies.

Efforts are being made abroad to or
ganlze total abtainers into what IS
known as a 'ssuper- standard class or
life risks The movement is the result
of a careful investigation into the
death losses of life companies, with the
result that much valuable data has
heen accumulated to show that persons
who do not use alcoholic beverages
make altogether the hest class OF
policy- holders for an insurance com
pany to have. The subject has been
studied before by actuaries In this
country, and although authorities are
not in agreement as to the exact eHec'
of 3 ,ch Indulgence the feeling is gen.
eral that it adds materially to the or
binary life risk. In cases where
policy holders have been attacked
with q serious disease it has beer
found that the chances Of recovery
favor those who do not use stimulants
of any kind.
One foreign expert cautions the com
panies against making any allowance
| for even moderate drinking. This,
he says, may easily lead to excess.
He adds: 1.-The outlook for man
who should fall i'll with typhoid fever,
dysentery nephrltls, pneumonia, near
disease, diabetes, and affections OF the
liver Is bad enough under the best
circumstances, but if the patient is an
incorporate man his hope for recovery
is reduced very materially, and the
fight for life is desperate, If not hope
less. Every physician who has hac
much emergency hospital practice, OF
even private practice, among the
incorporate, can assent to thest
statements We know that men who
follow hazardous occupations are
frequently liable to injuries. In CASE
the party injured Is temperate, MI
chances for recovery from the in
juries and the surgery incident there
to are far IN excess Of the man who
uses intoxicants. New York Even

Big PHOSPHATEDEAL
ylruinia-caro Company Acquires
ARROW" Mines.
International Company Reported to
Have Received Ease, 900 for the
Property-other Details.

Another big deal has taken place in
the Mt. Pleasant phosphate field, and
an additional half million dollars in
valuable phosphate LANDS has been ac-
ouired bv the great Virginia Carolina
Chemical Co, which already had
control of many acres OF the best
phosphate lands in Maury county.
Their latest purchase is the Arrow
mine of the international Phosphate
Co, and the purchase price is re-
ported as $3.50, 600.
The Arrow Mime is on the farm
bought three or four years ago by
Messrs. Carpenter and Strudwick Of
Mr.. W. p. Ridley at less than $780,
600. The place contains about 700
acres of land, underlaid to a large
extent with highgrade rock. An ex.
tensive and up-to-date mining plant
is on the place.
The report is that each of the Messrs.
Strudwick will receive 5000, 900 IN
cash and good notes from the sale,
and that Mr.. j. Fl. Carpenter will
receive $50, 900 in cash and notes, and
become sole owner of the Solita Mines.
and of all other property in the Mt.
Pleasant and Carter's Creek sections
heretofore controlled by the Interna-
tional Phosphate Company.
A bid of $1,000 Is said to have
been made for the Solita mines. and
is still open to acceptance.
An effort was made this morning to
reach Mr.. Carpenter or Mr.. Strud-
wick, in order to verify before publ
cation the above report, but they were
both absent Mr.. Westlake, in charge
at the international Office, stated that
neither of the Messrs. Strudwick
were in the county, and that Mr..
Carpenter was out near Carriers Creek,
and would not return to town till this
evening. When asked as to the truth
above Of the report, which the II erald
reporter repeated to him, MIR. WestiaKe
said he did not feel at liberty to give
out any of the details of the deal, but
that it might be stated on authority
that the ARROW mines had been sold
to the Virginia Carolina Company.
and that the Messrs. StrudwicK had
retired from active interest in the
Maury county phosphate field.
He thought the report relative to
the division of the sale money, was
not entirely accurate; but he would give
out no information upon that point,
preferring to allow the gentlemen to
speak for themselves later.

IGNORANCE OF
THE LAW
admitted BY The Grand Jury as
Valid Defence.
County Court Clerk Thomas and
His Deputy Make Statements
For Publication, And Ex-
hibit Their Books.

The new Grand Jury, empaneled
Wednesday by Judge Higgins for the
ssnecial purpose of finding indictments
against local liquor dealers for alleged
violation OF the laws governing the
sale Of intoxicants also failed, as had
their predecessors, to return any true
bills. Ten members Of the Jury voted
for the indictments, or presentments,
and two of the new members voted no.
II having been reported to the Herald
that County Court Clerk Thomas felt
that an injustice was done him in the
article inWed esday's Herald, a reporter
called on Mr.. Thomas yesterdayfor
statement. Deputy Hardin Thomas
was present and exhibited the license
books
He said that it had heretofor been
their custom, when an applicant 1or
llquor license appeared, to ask MIN II
he would solemnly swear to the pre-
scribed oath; without reading the oatn
to him unless he happened to De new
man in the liquor business; then II
was read. The applicant was not re,
ouired, Mr.. Thomas admitted, to hold
mn his right hand and swear, but SIM
DIV said II do" to the question, and
then signed the oath, the bond and the
license application.
Clerk Thomas said his predecessors
for y number of years ta1 not required
the holding up Of the right hand, and
he did not know it was necessary.
However since his attention was call
ed to the matter, week or two ago,
ne had required the holding up OF the
right hand. -, -
In exhibiting the book Mr.. Hardin
Thomas stated that when an applicant
for license was we'll worth the amount
OF the $500 bond, and did not have has
sureties at hand, he had not always re-
auired security, but in some instances
had had the sIreties attach their sigma
lures later.
The license book showed this con-
clusively in a number of cases by the
different color in the ink.
In some cases the name OF the prin
c;nals alone appears ON the application.

wording sworn to and prescribed before

Rare Operation Performed BY Ply
sicians at Bellevue Hospital.

Rare Operation Performed BY Ply
sicians at Bellevue Hospital.
New York, October 81. One Of the
rarest operations known to surgery
the sewing up OF severed ventricle
of human heart-has been performed
at Bellevue Hospital.
The patient was Annie Kingsley,
who was stabbed by her husband dur
ing quarrel on the street. She was
thought to be dying when the ambu-
lance reached the hospital. The blood
was pouring from u long wound in the
left ventricle. which supplies the body
with blood, while the right pumps
to the lungs The surgeons knew the
flood must be checked at once If the
woman was to be saved. The opera
ton was decided upon. It was per-
formed by two surgeons, with fifteen
more looking on. The heart was laid
bare, ana the surgeons saw that the
wound was very severe. It would
require six stitches. During intervals
between the beats of the heart the
needle was inserted six times, and the
flow of blood was stopped. The wound
was carefully dressed, and the sur
geons waited to see the result. The
patient rallied rapidly, and the
surgeons expressed the b elief that she
would recover.

A SENSATION
In COURT.
Judge Higgins Gives Spec
ial Charge to Grand
Jury.
And Five of Them Ask to Be Excused
From Further Service, and
Their Places Supplied.
County Court Clerk Thomas Has Not
Been Requiring of Liquor Deslers
the oaths and Bonds Required by
Law, and Their Licenses are Void.

It has been an open secret in court
circles for the past week that entire
harmony did not exist between the
Grand Jury and the Attorney General.
The Jury has failed or refused to find
indictments against the various liquor
dealers of Columbia, though Mr.. Garner
presented them with proof and insisted
that bills be returned against every
retailer 10 the town for illegal sale OF
liquor. The law provides that every
man selling spirituous liquor shall be
required by the County Clerk to make
oath not to allow gambling on his
premises and not TO adulterate his
liquors in any way, and not to sell to
minors; and further that the County
Court Clerk shall require a $500 bond
from each dealer for faithful Observance
of his oath.
The law provides further that in case
the license is issued without these re-
auiremeuts it is null and void, and the
dealer using it is subject to the penalty
for illegal whiskey selling, just the same
rs If he had no license
Clerk Thomas has not been requiring
This oath from the local dealers, and hes
not taken the required bond. and it is
on these grounds that tho Attorney
General seeks to have the indictments
found.
Failing in his efforts, Attorney
General Garner reported the matter
to Judge Higgins, and that official
called the Jury before him Wednesday
morning and delivered a special cha &c
on the subject.
Soon after the Jury had retired,
Messrs. w. A. Pulliam, Andrew Allen,
s. s. Craig, j. Il. Westmoreland and
Allen Gibson, members OF the body,
appeared before Judge Higgins and
asked to be excused from further
service Their request was granted.
A new panel was then called and
Messrs. F. j. Ewing, j. P. Brownlow,
A j. Nichols, George Harlan and d. G.
Helm were appointed by the court to
fill the vacancies.
The grand jurors who were excused
we're the same men who voted against
finding the indictments. The charge OF
Judge Higgins was in the nature OF
reprimand, and as the five jurors were
unwilling to change their views or thell
votes, they doubtless decided the best
way out of bad matter was to be
excused from further service.
