The federal officials acknowledge their
disappointment in the final outcome
They state that this case was not like
any Of the other postal cases that are
pending, as this one simply dealt with
the action of Miller when he was an as
sistant attorney in the Postotiice Depart
ment.
The specific charge against Miller and
Johns was conspiracy to extort money
from Ryan for allowing him to use the
mails for questionable purposes. Ryan
testified at the two trials that he paid
Johns $4,000 while Miller was in the
Postofice Department so he could use
the mails for placing bets on races
Ryan claimed he turned States evidence
after repeated demands had been made
on him.

BARS BIBLE FROM SCHOOLS.
Nebraska Supreme Court Forbids
Reading of the Scriptures.

Readlug OF the Scriptures.
Bible reading and hymn singing is
again forbidden in the public schools of
Nebraska by the State Supreme Court,
which has issued peremptory writ of
mandamus against the directors of school
district No. 81, in Gage County. ordering
them to comply with the decision rem
dered more than year ago, tnat no
further religious exercises be held in the
school. Phe relator in the petition for
mandamus is Daniel Freeman, known
as the first homesteader," who was the
original plaintiff in a suit begun il 1899
against the district, winning twice IN
the lower courts The district directors
appealed and the Supreme Court upheld
Mr.. Freeman. but Chief Justice Sullivan,
in later supplemental opinion. so en-
cOuraged the school districts side of the
case that the first order was practically
ignored. Freeman complained that the
directors and teacher, Miss Martha
Beecher, were violating the court order,
and the latest writ followed. Much liti-
CATION will ensue, since there are as
many varying interpretations of the de-
cislon last written as there are different
views on the subject of Bible reading in
the public schools. The tenor of the de-
cision was that the Bible might be read
as work of literature, but not as
religious work. 1t is said that the school
directors will persist in the use of the
Bible. Should they do so contempt pro-
ceedings will bring the whole question
before the court again for review.

Aged Couple Burn TO Death.

Judge Lacombe in the United States
Circuit Court in New York handed down
an opinion overruling the motion made
by Charles f. w. Nicely. convicted in
Cuba of appropriating $45,375 of its
postal funds while acting as director of
finances of the postoffice in Cuba, to va
cate the attachment filed by the United
States against $4,000 cash bail deposited
by Nicely with the registrar of the Unit
ed States Circuit Court in that district.
Neely's counsel had moved the dismissal
of the attachment and civil proceedings
on the ground that the act of amnesty
passed by the Cuban &C gress in May,
1902, whereby all Americans convicted
of crime in Cuba during thu occupancy
of the island were pardoned, removed
with it all penalties and disabilities and
that the money should therefore be re-
turned to him. In his opinion Judge La
cOmbe says: TT is difficult to understand
by what process of reasoning a provision
rs plain as this amnesty ac0 can be
so construed as to transfer the title to
property from the true owner to the thief
who stole it."

Thousand Men Trying to Devise Means
for Insects Exterm nation.
Recently 1000 delegates from various
parts of the cotton districts, together
with scientists of repute, met in Dallas,
Texas, to take into consideration the boil
weevil. The matter is of such conse-
quence that Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson has offered to lend federal aid
if it is likely to be of service. Texas
has long had standing offer of $4,000
to any man who would provide destruc
tive agent for this pest, which has be-
come of serious import to the prosperity
of the commonwealth. Outside Texas
the cotton crop for the year is larger
than usual, but the losses in that State
are so great that the total crop is esti-
mated to be only equal to that of last
year, though the price is much higher and
the planters will be gamers. 1t is claim
ed that the weevil has destroyed this
year more than 100000 bales, worth
more than S5O00O,OO0. This is enough
to make the planters turn pale, the more
so because the ravages are on the in
crease
The weevil apparently came from
Mexico, and is increasing enormously. 1t
has been found that where there is a
rotation of crops the weevil fares badly,
as he thrives only on cotton. The sug-
gestion has been actually made that in
Texas cotton planting be abandoned for
year to see if that will not discourage
the weevil This. however, is entirely
too radical a plan, considering how slight
are the chances of it's being successful.
Although the present interest in the
matter is local. it is one that concerns
almost every individual i'll the world.
There is scarcely a person even in Dark
est Africa who does not use cotton goods,
and this country is the great source Of

Labor organizations are accepting re-

ness orders are more numerous. but in
the steel industry there is little expecta-
ton of liberal buying until 1904. Con-
struction work is decreasing. despite OBJ
tiInistic reports of more building permits
issued last month than year ago. Mild
weather still checks distribution of mcr-
chandise usually in brisk demand ut this

at midnight. They locked him in a room,

number of citizens responded and started
IN pursuit of the burglars, who escaped

KILL 500 MORos.
Americans in JoIo Crush Army of
Rebels in Battle.

As result of FIVE days severe fighting
in Jolo between the American troops I'M
der Gen. Leonard Wood and the insur-
gents 800 Moros are known to have
been killed and many others were carried
off dead or wounded. Maj. II. L. Scott
of the Fourteenth cavalry and five Amer
lean privates were wounded.
Gen. Wood landed near Siet Lake in
Jolo on Nov d. The Moros were soon
located, and fighting began Immediately
and continued until Nov. II.
Maj Scott was taking Panglima Has
sen, the Moro leader, who had been taken
a prisoner, to Jolo. While en- route Has
sen asked to be allowed to see his fam
lily. His appeal was granted, and he
thereupon led Maj. Scott into an ambus-
cade where the American detachment
was fired upon. Maj. Scott was shot in
both hands. Hassen succeeded in escap-
ing during this unexpected attack, but is
supposed to have been killed the follow
ing day.
The fighting took place in a country
covered with swamps and rocks. The
Moros were driven across the country
from Siet lake to the town which Hassen
had made his headquarters, and where it
was reported the Moros were 1000
strong.
The rebel position was attacked in the
flank by the American troops. which oc-
cupied the town and inflicted a loss of
fifty killed on the Moros. Hassen, with
a small party, surrendered. The rest of
the Moros went into the swamps, out of
which they were driven on Nov. 16, leav-
ing seventy-six dead behind them. On
Nov. II the American forces renewed
the attack on the remaining Moros, of
whom forty more were killed.
The rebel forces have been literally
destroyed by these operations by Gen.
Wood, who says the indications are that
there will be no extension of the uprising,
which was handled without difficulty.

DEATH ON THE RAlI
Number of Persons Killed During Year
Put at 3,554


The railroads of the United States kill.
ed 3,554 persons and injured 1877 dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1908. The
total number of casualties, 1851, cost
the railroads $9,596,977 property loss. as
compared with 81 ,645, 406 for toe previ-
Gus year The increase in the number
killed was 735 and in the number in
jured 6,1T9.
These facts are shown by accident bull
letin No. issued by the interstate COM
merce commission for the fiscal year
and for the second quarter of the pres
ent calendar year. Although the report
shows n large increase in casualties it
is noted that the number killed in train
wrecks is three less, although the num-
Der thus injured increased by S3S
The commission finds an excuse for the
poor showing made by the railroads:
Railroad companies are much more
careful to include all accidents in their
reports to the commission than they
Were and it is undoubtedly true that
much of the increase is due to the fact
that the accident reports are fuller than
during the preceding year"
1t is stated that the number of men
employed in the train service on June 30
last was about y per cent greater than
on June 30, 1902. On the roads of dens-
est traffic, where liability to accident is
greatest, the increase has been more than
this.
The expansion of freight traffic led to
the employment of men so rapidly that
the percentage of inexperienced men in
service this year is larger than ever in
the history of railroads.
The report further shows that out Of
the total number killed 321 were passen-
gers and 1888 employees, and out Of the
total number injured 6,973 were passen-
gers and 39,004 employees. During the
months of April. May and June last S44
persons were killed and 11,461 injured
which is decrease Of SO fatalities over
the previous quarter. Attention is @al-
ed to the fact, however, that % fatal
ties were due to butting collisions, which
