FARRlS TOO ILL FOR TRIAL.
His Physician Telephones That Sem
ator VIII Not be Able 10 Ap-
pear To-Day.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. 24.-At a
late hour last night Assistant Attorney
General Sam B. Jeffries received
message from DR.. j. T. Coffey, of Steel
Vile. stating that 1t would be impos-
sible for Senator Frank Farris to be
here to-day to answer to his case when
called in the circuit court before Judge
Graves. DIR. Coffey's message was to
the effect that the illness of Senator
Farris is of such character that the
patient can not be moved. Dr. Coffey
has been attending Senator Farris
since his illness, which first manifested
itself two weeks ago The state is
ready for trial and all of the wit
nesses have been summoned for to-
day. The defense will have to show
Judge Graves that Senator Farris is
too i'll to come here to stand trial. He
will not grant continuance unless
the fact is proved. 1t is likely that DR..
Coffey will come here to make affidavit
as to the condition of his patient. II
Senator Farris is not as i'll as reported,
an attachment could be issued for him
to bring him here.
The Smith trial is set for September
26. and will be called then if the Far
ris case should go over.

CLoUDBURST CAUSES PANIC
Circus Tent Fell During storm, But
Audience Escape-MiIes of Track
Covered With Debris.

Denver, Col, Aug, PA cloud-burst
occurred over part of this city, Sunday
afternoon, while other sections were
only visited by light rain. Consid-
erable damage was done by the rain,
and in some places the street car tracks
were so covered with sand that they
had to be dug out. The circus tent of
Norris & Rowe fell during the heaviest
part of the storm, and caused small
sized panic Most of the audience had
left the tent before it fell, and no one
was hurt. Near Buffalo Park, in Platte
canyon, another cloud-burst occurred,
and a wall of water, said to be ten feet
high, rushed down the river. Two and
half miles of track of the Colorado
& Southern railway was covered with
debris and some washouts occurred.
About three hundred excursionists are
stalled on the other side of the dam
aged tracks and can not reach Denver.

ENGLAND LOSES A
TRULY GREAT MAN
Lord Salisbury Passes Away Sur
rounded by His Family.
WILL BE BURIED BESIDE WIFE
During the Last Forty-Eight Hours
England's Ex-Premier Was Sus-
tanned Only by Constant Use of
OxyGen-Died Peacefully.

London, Aug. 24-Lord Salisbury
died Saturday evening at 9:05 o'clock.
The end was expected shortly after
seven o'clock. when the physicians no.
ticed a change for the worse In the ex-
premier's condition. Near relatives,
who were in a room adjoining the
chamber In which the great statesman
lay, were summoned, and they gath
cred around the bedside to await the
end. The distinguished patient had
not regained consciousness during the
day. and until he expired, he lay as
though dead The end came almost
oyerspread his face and one of the
doctors, feeling his pulse, scarcely got
response. In a few moments the
heart grew weaker and finally ceased.
The announcement was then made to
those about the couch, among whom
were his five children-Viseount Gran
borne, Lord Arthur Cecil, Lord Robert
Cecil, Rev. Lord William Cecil, Lady
Gwendoline Cecil and the countess of
Selborne and her husband and the pre-
mier, Arthur Balfour, a nephew OF
Lord Salisbury.
King Edward, who had been in COM
munication with Hatfield house all day,
was Immediately notified, and the re-
grets of the monarch were conveyed in
an informal way to the relatives.
IL was a doubly sad day for the
mourners, they having attended the
funeral of the countess of Galloway,
Lord Salisbury's sister, in the after
noon, and then returned to watch near
the bed of the dying statesman. Some
time ago Lord Salisbury expressed a
wish that he be buried beside his wife.
and while the government will proba-
bly, request that his body be laid In
Westminster Abbey, 1t is likely that
the ex-premiers wishes will be OBJ
served.

The Factor 10 the Next Primary.

The campaign figureheads are
busy all over the State now figuring
out the election of their favorite for
governor by juggling with the Off
cial returns showing the Noel vote.
Everyone is asking where the Noel
vote has gone and what per cent. OF
the Noel vote will stay at home. The
Noel vote is the chief factor in the
second race. 1t is scattered all over
the State, as a glance at the returns
will show. 1t is the vote that was
attracted to Mr.. Noel by his record
and by his platform principles. 1t
is CONSCIENTIOUS, conservative vote,
that voted in many. cases for its con-
yietions, in face of the belief that 1t
wss going to show up in the minori-
ty column. The Noel vote is keep
ing cool and quiet and will doubtless
turn out on the 27th to vote accord
ing to its own peculiar taste as it did
in the first race.
Mr.. Noel polled, as the official fig
ures show, 24,235 votes, or about
one-quarter of the entire vote cast.
He carried eight counties, to-wit
Holmes, Grenada, Montgomery,
Sunfower, Leake, Itawamba, Simp-
son and Lawrence. He lost Attala
county by only 2 votes, polling 934
against 936 for Vardaman. He was
second in sixteen counties as fol-
lows: Carroll, Clarke, Covington,
Kinds, Jasper, Lee, Lefiore, Marion,
Lowndes, Perry Pike, Smith, Talla-
hatchie, Tishomingo, Wayne, Yalo-
busha. Besides these he received
quite large share of the vote in
several of the large counties that he
came third in, for example, he got
566 votes in Monroe, 720 in Copiah,
55S in Lauderdale, and over 400 in
Lincoln and Newton. In eight 9TH
er counties he received over 800
votes in each. In nine others he re-
ceived over 200 votes, including
Chickasaw, in which he ran second,
but Vardaman carried the county
overwhelmingly. In fifteen coun-
ties he received over 100 votes, in
Guiding Lefore and Greene, which
Vardaman carried largely.
