The State, 23rd.
The argument on the motion
for a change of venue in the case
of J. III. Tillman for the murder
of n. q. Gonzales was begun in
the criminal court Yesterday
morning and continued all day.
The case was set for hearing at
3 30 yesterday afternoon but
there being no business before the
court in the morning it was decided
20 90 on earlier and it was little
after II O'clock when the case
began.
There were but few people in
court at that hour as it was not
anticipated that the case would be
taken up until the afternoon, but
when 1t became noised about
that the matter had come up
many lawyers along Law Range
and business men about the city
deserted their callings and the
great interest in the case was
eviucoi al day long b. a well
hlled court room, although at
no time was the crowd uncom-
torlahly large and it was entirely
orderly.

was dressed in new suit Of

session. Senator Tillman entered
the court room accompanied 10
the sheriff and the prisoner.
Hh listened to the affidavits by
the defence but he lett the city
in the afternoon
Numerous affidavits were pre-
sented by Tillman's lawyers
striving to make it appear that
he could not get a fair and ion
partial trial in Columbia owing
to prejudice against him.
Numerous other aflidavits
were presented by the States
attorneys to show that there is
no ground for the charge that
Tillman cannot get a fair trial
in Columbia. The latter aGida-
Wits were made by a long list of
Columbia's best citizens, and
upon that it looks like the mo
ton will be refused.

Small Pox Still in State.

Although the state board are exert.
ing every effort possible to stamp out
the loathsome disease there are still a
number of cases of small pox in the
state. Returns from different parts
of the state show on increase Of %
cases during the past two weeks.
The report shows that there are only
two cases in st. Louis county. The
opening of the lumber camps, unless
extra precautions are taken, will, no
doubt, cause the disease to spread
in some sections. The lumbermen
of this district have Leen very fortu-
nate in the handling of the disease.
Only a few cases have been reported
in a number of years. This is due
largely to sanitary condition of the
camps. Good clean camps Is splen-
did preventative Of the disease. Prob
ably seventy cases exist in the state
at the present time.

placements, making total of 81

SIN return for this outlay the cor
poration got all it's lines in excellent
repair. and this year is transporting
its raw materials and finished products
in many instances, wholly over its
own tracks, thus saving heavy freight
charges. The steel corporation now
has 764 miles Of main line, 259 miles
of branch lines, 178 miles operated un-
der trackage rights, 140 miles of second
tracks and 470 miles of sidings, max
