Slew Her Husband and Kissed Corpse.

Dayton, Ohio, October 8.-While
his wife, Katherine, was waiting on
customer in their restaurant here
at noon, w. H. Lane came home
drunk and abused her, striking her
with dishes and knocking her down.
She fled to the kitchen, where he
followed her and struck her to the
floor second time. In falling she
grabbed long knife and thrust it
through her husbands heart, killing
him instantly. Two ribs were com
pletely severed. When she saw
what she had done, the woman,
crazed and grief stricken, fell upon
his body, and was covering it with
caresses and kisses when the police
came.

Spartanburg, October 6.--The La
Porte Qnd.) Daily Herald gives the
announcement as coming from the
sons of Mrs. Jane Il. Boyeaen, de-
ceased, whose name figured prom
inently with the recent White
Stone Springs jewelry robbery,
and whose trunks were searched
in Spartanburg and none OF
the missing jewehy found, that
all proceedings relative to the
sad affair will be dropped. The sons
of the deceased have no desire, ac-
cording to the LaPorte Herald, to
incur the notoriety that the pushing
of the suit against Mr.. Harris and
DR.. Morgan would occasion. So the
$4,000 litigation for damages ia
dropped.
Proprietor j. t. Harris, of the
White Stone Springs Hotel, who
was in the city to-day, authorized
the statement that none of the miss
ing jewelry had been recovered.

,s,l Oavi.,s Youth.

Contrary to the belief still some
what prevalent, Jefferson Davis was
not descended from a line of aristo-
cratic progenitors, but sprang from
the ranks of that great middle class
which has produced most of the
great men of the world. About the
year Ills three brothers came to
this country from w ales, and located
in Philadelphia. The younger,
Evan Davis, eventually went to the
colony of Georgia and there married
a widow by the name of Williams.
The only child of that union, Samuel
Davis, enlisted at the age of seven
teen as a private soldier in the War
of the Revolution. Later he organ.
lied company of mounted men
and at it's head participated in most
of the battles of the campaign that
forced Lord CORVALLIS out of the
Carolinas. At the close of the war
he married Jane Cook, girl of
Scotch-Irish descent, of humble sta
tion, but noted for strength of char
aoter and great personal beauty, and
they settled ON farm near Augusta,
Ga. In 1904 Samuel Davis removed
with his family to southwestern Ken
lucky to engage in stock raising and
tobacco planting, and there, in a
modest farm house, which was then
in Christian county and not many
miles from the cabin where few
months later Abraham . Lincoln
opened his eyes upon the light of
the world, Jefferson Davis was born,
June 8, 1903. The spot is now in
Todd county, and upon it stands
the Baptist church at Fairview.
While he was still an infant, the
hope of there better providing for a
numerous family caused his father
to seek new home on Bayon Teche
in Louisiana. The country, however,
proved unhealthful, and he remained
there but few months. He finally
bought farm near Woodville, in
Wilkinson county, Miss, where he
spent the remainder of his long life
poor, but respected and esteemed at
man of fine sense and sterling
character.

Mr.. Croft and Mr.. Kohn.

Last Friday August Kohn was
placed on the witness stand, in the
trial of James H. Tillman for muir
der at Lexington Court House. He
was there in response to the man
date of the State, not of his own
choice, and he was entitled to the
fullest protection of the State in the
discharge of the duty imposed upon
him.
1t is true, as Judge Gary said,
considerable latitude is allowed on
cross examination" of witness for
the State in case like this, but,
under the most generous construc-
tion of the rule the Court was finally
compelled to protest against George
w. Croft's treatment of this witness

history of legal proceeding" in South
Carolina in which there was so gross
a violation of all the proprieties
We are the more surprised because
Mr.. Croft, for whom we have always
entertained great respect, was the
occasion of this most unpleasant in.
cident in the trial at Lexington, and
we do not believe that he will per.

pressing regret for demonstration
on his part that was as unnatural al
it was outrageous.

Kohn did not for one moplsnt forge,

PRESIDENT SPEAKS ON CUBAN
TREATY AND TARIFF QUESTION

1.-THE present phenomenal prosperity
has been won under a tariff which was
made in accordance with certain nxed
and definite principles. the most Inn
portant of which Is an avowed deter
mination to protect the interests OF the
American producer. business man.
"In making any readjustmene there
are certain important considerations
which cannot be disregarded. II tar
in law has on the whole worked well.
and II business has prospered under 1t
and is prospering. II may be better to
endure some inconvenience and In
equalities for time than by making
changes to risk causing disturbance
and perhaps paralysis In the industries
and business of the country.
Zone point we must steadily keep In
mind. The question OF tarin revision.
speaking broadly, stands wholly apart
from the question Of dealing with the
trusts.
mo change in tariff duties can have
any substantial effect in solving the So
called trust problem.
Certain great trusts OF great cor
porations are wholly unaffected by the
tariff. Practically all the others that
are Of any importance have as matter
of fact numbers of smaller American
competitors. and, OF course. change In
the tariff which would work injury to
the large corporation would work not
merely injury but destruction to its
smaller competitors. and equally. OF
| course. ouch a change would mean dis
| aster to all the wage-workers connect
ed with either the large or the small
corporations. From the standpoint OF
those interested in the solution OF the
trust problem such change would
therefore merely mean that the trust
was relieved OF the competition OF Its
weaker American competitors and
thrown only into competition with for
efgn competitors. and that the first ef-
fort to meet this new competition
would he made by cutting down wages.
and would. therefore. be primarily at
the cost OF labor. In case Of some Of
our greatest trusts such q change
might confer upon them positive
benefit. Speaking broadly. It is evil
dent that the changes In the tarih Will
affect the trusts for veal or for woe
| simply rs they affect the whole coun-
try. Tho tariff Affects trusts only As IL
affects all other interests. II makes
, all these interests. large or small.
profitable. and it's benefits can be TAX
en- from the large only under penalty
of taking them from the small also.
TO sum up. then. we must as q peo-
pie approach matter OF such prime
economic Importance as the tarin
from the standpoint of our business
needs. We cannot AFFORD to become
fossilizcd or to fall to recognize the
fact that as the needs OF the country
change It may be necessary to meet
these new needs by changing certain
fxm x.Sx LII l..
can We afford to fail to recognize the
further fact that these changes must
not be made until the need for them
| may result"
