NO BLoODSHED YET
All Quiet at Jackson, the Seat
of War.
More Soldiers Arrive-Jett Believed
to Be Weakening.
REDwINE CHARGED JURY.

jackson, KY, June 1.-The regular
term of circuit court began here to-
day, and Judge Redwine delivered a
vigorous charge to the grand jury.
The special grand jury at Jackson
adjourned Saturday after returning an
indictment against Curtis Jett charg-
ing him with the murder of Jim Cock
rell. The principal witness in the
Cockrell case was Capt John Patrick,
who went to the grand jury room es-
corted by detail of soldiers. He told
the jury that at the slime Cockrell was
assassinated he saw the rifles protrud-
ing from the court house window. He
rCcogni zed Curtis Jett at the window,
but did not see tine faces of the other
men. Thomas Marcum Of Indian Ter
ritory, q brother of the late j. B. Mar
cum, has arrived at Jackson TO assist
in the prosecution of the alleged as
sassins Of his brother. Common
wealth's Attorney Byrd says he is sat
isfied with the work of the special
grand jury. He also says the Marcum
case will be further investigated by
the regular grand jury, which was
impsneled today. The militia from
Danville and Louisville arrived Sun
day and about 175 soldiers are now at
Jackson.
It is the opinion of many that Tom
White and Curtis Jett are weakening
and will both soon tell all they know
about the assassinations Of Jim Cock
rell, DIR. Cox and J. B. Marcum. The
men are both allowed to occupy the
same cell, strange TO say, and were
standing looking out of window yes
terday, though no one WAS near, snd
Jett is reported to have told White
that che would not hang by himself
by a id sight" White replied:
eth do us no good, for we can't get
out by telling on others, and then
people would not believe u.s." Jett
then said: "well, they are as deep
in the mud as we are in the mire, and
by GOO If it comes to a showdown you
may depend upon.me to take the other
fellows along too"

REV.JONESPREACHES


In conclusion Rev. Jones dwelt on
his life work, saying that he was now
breaking down and would soon be
gone, but that he had one cheering
thought, and this was the work he
had done and the good worked on
hundreds Of persons in the country.
He had been preaching for thirty one
years and during the past few years
has been gradually breaking down.
He said in regard to Paducah's off,
cials that If they were his from mayor
down he would trade them of for
yaller dog. kill the dog and still be
shead, for the hide would be worth
something.
A petition Endorsed by the civic fed
erstion few nights ago was signed

The Democratic executive commit
tee is having hard time whipping the
revolving forces into line, but it has
adopted a resolution indorsing the
chairman, and the chairman has had
things his own way ever since the
trouble started. If there is any har-

year, the kickers will have to acknowl-
edge defeat, and they seem to have no
disposition to do it just now. One

Beaver Dam, KY, is sadly afflicted
with either an unusually enterprising
correspondent or else lot of plaques
OF various descriptions. Three separ-
ate dispatches sent out Saturday state
that the snakes are more numerous
than ever before. the grasshoppers are
so thick that they eat the tobacco as
fast as it is planted and the worms are
visible in such numbers that, they al
most obscure the foliage on the trees.
The governor ought to be consulted
about sending troops there to suppress

MATERIAL FOR TRUST BUSTER.


People who go to market every
morning and wonder why chickens,
eggs and few other things are so
high, possibly do not know that it is
because of kind Of trust" that they
hear very little about, especially fr ON
the able Democratic statesmen and
press who are constantly inveighing
against the salt trust, the beef trust,
the hard coal trust, and other trusts
that seldom have the slightest effect
on them and this section of the coun-
try. the trust at our door, however.
is seldom mentioned. This trust is in
the poultry and produce business as
told in the news columns elsewhere.
Agents are sent to various parts of a
section. many having regular stations,
and buy up all the chickens, eggs,
butter aud other things that they can
find. The farmers. not desiring to
come all the way to town, readily sell,
as they get a good price. The produce
and poultry are taken TO the headquar-
tiers of the company here or elsewhere
and prepared for the market, where
they are sold at the trusts figures, or
shipped to the big cities, where there
is always demand at any price they
ask.
The effect of this trust is that the
edibles we would otherwise get on the
market here at a reasonable figure can
not be purchased at all, or else at an
exorbitant price. 1t reduces the mar
ketable supply of everything handled
by the trust" and as consequence
boosts prices. 1t makes the supply
totally inadequate to the demands of
our people here. The trust itself pre-
tends to feel hurt because it is accused
of impairing the welfare of the peo-
pie. It boosts about stimulating
tne lhTlueT 10 Thlst ulOho bhiOhchs anu
such things than he would otherwise
raise, and thus afford larger and bet
ter market, and then brings them all
up for its own uses.
Even If the trust" makes things
better for the few people who raise
chickens and produce, only about one
out of 500, if that many, raise such
things, leaving five hundred to eat
where one raises. The farmer who
raises may get good price and do
serve all he can get but the five hun
dred who have to eat have to pay dear
ly for it and are also entitled to some
consideration. The present conditions
present serious problem, but there is
apparently no way to remedy it. 1t
is a matter that affects the welfare,
the pocketbook and the stomach of
hundreds Of people and is therefore a
good subject for the local trust bust
ers" TO work on.

Prelates Kiss the Foot of the PontiR and Receive Apostolic Benedict ions-His Voice Still

Rome. June z.-The consistory was spe- eiaily important. owing to the persistent rumors regarding the Pope's i'll health and the previous postponement. Naturally ceremony in which the Pope, half hidden in vestments. is borne on a chair and is continually assisted. is not the best op- portunity to judge of his appearance or the state of his Nalth. but a man capable of undergoing tn strai nof such a func- tion has plety of tality.
 The Pontins fe Vres seemed slightly more clear cut ana his hands trembled perceptibly. but his voice is plainly heard though 1t has lost something of his old time resonance
 The ceremony was shortened as much as possible and lasted only s minutes. All the cardinals of the cabinet were Invited 10 the Vatican half an hour before the Pope's appearance and they assembled in the consistory ball in order of precedence. forming striking picture
 The entrance of the Pope, clad in white vestments and surrounded by his trusted companions in their red robes, gave A finishing touch to the scene. After receiv- ing the homage of those present, the Pom tin recited prayer and and then pro- ceeded to the nomination of the new car dinals.
 The traditional secrecy was maintained, though now 1t is largely a matter of form. The Pope proposed each new cardinal, the members of the sacred college signifying their assent by raising their caps The following were created cardinals:
 Monsignor Fischer, archbishop of Co., logne.
 Monsignor Tallani papal nuncia at Vi- emma.

CAUGHT IN RAIN STORM
CARS FAILED TO RUN AND
 CROWD IMPRISONED,
Great Throng at Ball Park and Pickett's Spring Sunday Wat ed for Cars Which Did
 Not Come,

At most inopportune time Sunday af. ternoon the transmission system of the Tallassee Falls power system failed and every street car in the city stood still and idle for over an hour and thirty minutes
 progress and thousands of Montgomerians who had left their homes for an after noon's recreation stood about in poorly sheltered places.
 The crowd which had gone out to see the Sunday game at the ball park be- tween Montgomery and Atlanta teams. suffered most. but worry and anxiety seized hundreds of persons at Pickett s Spring. Oak Park and Bloemfontaine. The rain was driven in sheets by the heavy winds. Only those who stood in securely sheltered places escaped a drenching. The pavilions in the various parks were but poor safeguards against the wind driven rain. It was an electrical storm and with the flashing of the light ming and the pealing of the thunder the more nervous spent an extremely uncom- fortable afternoon.
 At the ball park nearly 2000 persons had assembled before the rain began. Only portion of them occupied seats in the grand stand. The game had not com menced. When the gain started the man. agement threw open the grand stand and dl tHe croWu troOpen III practlcally nll- ing it.
 The grand stand with its open back through which the rain was driven in gusts. was not a complete protection. For two hours the crowd sat anxiously without the passing of a car. The man. agement of the Traction Company. how ever. appreciating the situation had a special train sent over the Western Rail- road to bring the imprisoned crowd back to town. This train made three trips, moving all the crowd at the ball park and at Picketts Spring.
 The current was off one hour and half. As it failed the engines at the pow CT house of the Montgomery Light and Power Company. which supplies power to the car companies, were fired up. There was no electric power or lights in the city until steam had been gotten up and the power house machinery was gotten into working order.
 The accident to the transmission sys- tenn 1t Is said, was caused by defective insulation between Montgomery and Tal- lassee, which failed in the heavy rain storm. This resulted in the burning out of some of the connections.
