HEART on RIGHT SIDE
Which, of Course, Is the Wrong Side,
but This Boston Man Wears 1t
There.

Boston, Dec. 16.-There is a man in the
city hospital here with his heart on the
right side. This condition was brought
about by IN accident which turned the
patients organs over and We. left them in
good working order. The remarkable &C.
currence has aroused the greatest curiosity
among the members of the medical fra
ternity, as no case parallel to this has
been recorded in the ;slnals of medicine in
the United States, as far as can be
learned. A membe Of the hospital staff
y
This man was exhibited to us at the
meeting and he proved to be one of thu
most astounding instances Of transposi.
ton that ever came to the notice of the
physicians in this portion of the country.
He has been brought to the hospital SUI
fering from a fractured knee pan, but
from where l do not know, and some
hours after, upon examination by the in
ternes of the hospital, his heart was found
to be located on the right side of the
chest. Upon further inquiry into the pa
tents condition, it was found that all the
organs of the chest and abdomen had de.
veloped in transposed positions, contrary
to the laws of nature, yet the man was
perfectly healthy as far as could he
learned at the time"

JUST A HIGHWAYMAN.
Chicago Pastor breaches a Remarkabl.
Sermon, in Which He Attacks
RockefeIIer ct AL

Chicago, Dec. 16.-There is no difference
in principle between holding up 4 nation
for $1,000 900 at the mouth of a pipe line
and holding up an individual at the muzzle
of a u for what he has on his person.
THE man who Is looked on as the most
successful man In the country is, in the
last analysis, a gambler or highway rob-
Der. He is not even a creator of money,
much less Of manhood, but a highway
bandit who has held up producers and
public for millions.
THE hero Of boys used to be Napoleon.
We have made little progress in Christian
ity when the hero of boys of today is John
-. Rockefeller or J. Pierpont Morgan
This is what the Rev. Joseph E. Vance,
pastor Of the Hyde Park Presbyterian
church, told his audience last Sunday
evening in the course of a sermon on the
Chicago reign Of crime.
John D. Rockefeller, J. Pierpont Nor
gan and men of their class in the financial
world are really responsible for such a
reign of crime as now exists in Chicago

UP TO UNITED STATES,
Member of Canadian Parliament Talks
Reciprocity in Boston.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 12.-John Charl-
ton, member Of the Canadian parlia-
ment, delivered a forceful address upon
the subject of "Reciprocity With Cam
ada before the Boston Chamber Of
Commerce today. The tenor of his ad-
dress was that the United States must
grant more liberal tariff provisions or
the Canadian tariff rates would even
tually be advanced.
Absolute free trade, he said, be-
tween the two countries is impossible.
In conclusion he said: "a critical hour
is at hand, when Canada will have ar
rived at the parting of the ways, and
will decide whether she shall cultivate
her intimate and natural relations
with the United States or put up her
tariff wall against that country and be-
come a component part of the great i'm
perial trade federation. The United
states can decide hat the latter shall
be the case by maintaining it's present
:ariff policy"

COURT AIDS
Missouri's Highest Tribunal Practically
Opens the Prison Doors.

t. Louis, Mo, Dec. Ito fully 1000
prisoners the doors Of the Missouri
pentltentlary will be opened, according
to Circuit Attorney Folk by a supreme
court decision rendered today. In
cluded among them will be all the
boodIers convicted during Mr.. Folks
rusad against municipal corruption
in st. Louis and at jefferson City, for
bribery in connection with the work of
the Legislature for many sessions past.
AS the cases against the suburban
franchise boodlers were begun barely
in time to escape the operations Of the
statute of limitations, which expired in
November, it will be Impossible to re-
turn fresh indictments, should the
charges be u defective under which
prosecutions are now pending or con-
victions already secured.
The decision under which the entire
list of st. Louis boodling prosecutions
is practically certain to fall to the
ground was rendered in connection
with the reversal of the case Of the
state against William Bonner.
In it the court holds that Informal
tons issued from the circuit attorneys
office must be sworn to by the prose-
cutting witnesses, the oath of the cir
cult attorney alone. which has hitherto
been the only one affixed to the in
formations, / eing insufficient, except in
cases where the circuit attorney him
self figures as the prosecuting witness
and makes oath to circumstances with
in his own personal knowledge.
Will Try for Release.
In view of today's decision is it I'M
derstood that the convicted bCodlers,
as well as the other prisoners affected
by the ruling, will at once raise the plea
of illegal arrest and seek their release
under habeas corpus proceedings.

now before the supreme court on APP
peals, and the record shows that in
every one of them the trial was held
on an information furnished by the
circuit attorney, on his individual oath
alone.
The cases are as follows:
Charles +. Kelly, former speaker of
the house of delegates, convicted of.
perjury in connection with the Sub
urban franchise boodle deal and SEN
fenced to two years in the penitentiary.
John II. Schneider, bribery, Suburb
an franchise; o Il years.
Jere J. Hannigan, bribery, Suburban
franchise; five years.
Johu A. Sheridan, bribery, Suburban
franchise; five years.
II. Edward Albright, bribery, Suburb

Charles A. Gutke, bribery, Suburban
franchise; five years.
Edmund Bersch, bribery, Suburban
franchise; five years.
Charles J. Denny, bribery, Suburban
franchise: five years.
Harry A. Faulkner, perjury, uburb
an franchise investigation; three years.
Mr.. Folk notified Judge Mcdonald of
the criminal division of the circuit
court and proceedings were stopped in
all cases affected. Nine cases were
wiped off the docket and the witnesses
sent to the grand jury room, there to
give information upon which to base
indictments to take the place of the
-nvalid informations.

Jury Found for Defendant in Damage
Suit.

Lead, S. D., Dec. 1.-THE jury has
found for the defendant in the case OF
Mrs. Jane Hedglin against the city of
Lead. in circuit court, before Judge
Rice. This is the second trial of the
case the verdict has been for the
city in both trials. In this ease Mrs.
Hedglin was suing for $ 1000 personal
damages, alleging serious injuries by
reason of the negligence of the city
authorities to keep the sidewalks in
repair. The first trial resulted
in a verdict for the defendant and
upon motion a new trial was granted,
and it is probable now thai the case is
closed.

CONFIDENT OF WINNING.
Hill Crowd Now Feels Sure 1t vii,
Come Out Ahead.

nm SFoWd NOW reels Sure 1t viii
Come Out Ahead.
New York, Dec. 16.-At no time dur
ing the long litigation against the
Northern Securities have
James j. Hill and his associates been
more completely confident that the de-
clslon in the supreme court will open
the way for the successful and cons
tlnuouS operation of that company
than they are at present.
There have been times during the
past six months when a question arose
as to the ability of the company to
demonstrate its legality and it's ne
cesslty, but the company enters the
supreme court backed by the most
sublime confidence in the result. This
statement is made on the authority of
one of Mr.. Hills most intimate friends.
VINO ADDS that Messrs. Morgan, Steele
and others feel equally confident.
They are not quite confident of an
out and out decision for the company"
says this authority, but they are Ger
tam that II the court should not de-
eide in this way, the decision will be a
conditional recognition of the legality
OF the company on compliance with GER
tam fuilrgs. The real point Of their
IDEAS is expressed in the briefs of
Messrs. Stetson and Griggs. wberein
= 40 i''ii4eeo out thai Inc only legal OBJ
stacle is apparently the fact that the
company holds a majority of the stocks
OF both companies, Great Northern and
Northern Pacific.
1t is taken for granted hat the
mere parting with the control of one
company would sufficiently ~legalize
the combination, even though it should
be illegal in its present form. The
court, Of course, must decide upon
this question, and if the oueStion poac
against the company, L have no doubt
that the necessary action can be taken
at a moments notice if it is not k
already"

eminent from obtaining the money
necessary to maintain Itself through a

CRISIS FOR ORE
Foreign Residents Expect Trouble to
Occur at Any Time.

Seoul, Dec. 11.-Rioting has taken
place at Mokphe, and yesterday a
japanese mob wounded seventeen Kor-
cans High Korean officials are hurry
ing TO Mokphe to try to quell the dis
orders. SO far Russia has not inter-
fered.
United States Minister Allen has de-
manded a definite answer from the
Korean government in regard to the
opening of the port of VIII. Despite
the American. British and japanese
pressure, Russian influence over the
shaker and it is expected Korea will
ter and possibly may refuse eventually
to act at all. The feeling of unrest is
growing among the Korean people who
fear the extinction Of the empire is i'm
minent. 1t is believed ans outbreak of
hostilitics or the announcement of a
protectorate of any kim will precipitate
trouble. Foreigners in Seoul expected
disorder and American residents desire
a WarShip.
Army Is lnsubordinate.
The Korean army, numbering 5000. is
considered one of the most dangerous
factors in the situation as the nsubor-
dinate element is beyond control. In
case of trouble it is feared the soldiers
will be the first to lead rioting and be-
gin looting.
Part of the Russian squadron has al
ready departed for Port Arthur. and
the remainder of the fleet will follow,
leaving no warships of that nation in
Korean waters.
