NOTHING NEW.
Lincoln Robbers Appear to Have Made
Good Their Escape.

Sheriff Williams did not find out any
thing new in his visit to the scene of the
robbery in Lincoln township. He did as
certain, however, that no one was seen
to emerge from a cornfield, as has been
reported, and that no one was seen
anywhere about the premises. Mrs.
Staum does not know how much was
stolen, whether it was 5000 or $500. The
money was taken from different places
in the house, where it had been conceal,
ed, and much of it was not found. In a
bureau drawer that was ransacked, $62
was left in a tumbler that the robbers
did not notice.
The authorities nave thus far been able
to find no trace of the robbers, and it
is not thought that they ever will. This
should be a lesson to people who keep
money at home that it is much safer to
keep the money in the banks or in a
safety deposit vault.

Grams and his wife had not been liv-

wife having gone to the farm leased
and occupied by her son, Herman, two
or three miles south of the Grams farm,
and almost on the line between Blue
Earth and Waseca counties. She was
about to start a third action for divorce.
or had actually started it, and her hus-
band was summoned to come to Coun-
ty Attorney Wilson's office today to ar
range terms of settlement or division OF
the property. This property was valued
at something like $4,000 and was
mostly accumulated by the Joint en-
deavors of the couple since their mar
riage.
Early this morning, Grams took a
ten gauge shot gun and left his house,
~ostensibly to hunt prairie chickens, and
went to the home of Herman Pelliberg.

The Review of Reviews for June.

There is no lack OF variety in the make
up of the June Review of Reviews. Aside
from the interesting editorial comments
on current events, there are four impor-
tant illustrated articles on the latest
methods of treating consumption, en-
phasiZing the open-air treatment espec-
tally; an article on 1.-The Renaissance of
Nonconformity in England" by W. L.
Stead; a paper apropos of the Wesleyan
anniversary, by DR.. J. NJ. Buckley; a
sketch of the late Governor Ramsey, of
Minnesota, by Warren Upham; an ac-

Charles NJ. Harger; AN American is
Views of Patagonia" and briefer arti-
cles on 1.-The College of the City of New
York and Its New PRESIDENT and The
Well-Governed District of Columbia.
There is also resume OF the report OF
the Mosely commission of British trade
unionists on American industrial condi-
tions, showing why our manufactures
are winning in the race with those OF

gated by Khammurabi, King of Baby
Ion, B. CI22S5-2242, and recently trans
lated by c. H. w. Johns.
Among the topics editorially treated
are the strikes in the building trades, the
present business situation, negro sui

Yes, August Flower still has the largest

Your mothers and grandinothers never
thought Of using anything else for Indiges-

and they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostitution or Heart Failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out the

His Last Hope Realized.
From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to set
tiers in 1899, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune who
made the big race one fine day in April. Dur
ing his travelling about and afterwards his
camping upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water which, together with the
severe heat, gave him a very severe diar-
rhoea which it seemed almost impossible to
check, and along in June the case became so
bad he expected to die. One day one of his
neighbors brought him one small bottle of
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as q last hope. A big dose was
given him while he was rolling about on the
ground in great agony, and in a few minutes
the dose was repeated The good effect of

National Decoration Day.

Raleigh Post
As the 10th OF May is sacred to
every follower of the Lost Cause, so
is the Both day of the same month OF
each year alike sacred to those who
followed the flag Of the North in the
memorable conflict OF 1S61-'65. The
object OF the observance on the part
OF both is the same in spirit-to
honor those who were brave and
loyal enough to die in defence of that
cause and section they believed to
be right
On yesterday the members OF the
Grand Army Post in this city OBJ
served the day by fitting ceremony
at the National cemetery in this
city, where DR.. ID. IL. Abbott deliv-
cred the address, which is given else
where. The address denotes the
spirit OF Il brave soldier and Il good
citizen, and Dr. Abbott was the one
and is the other. He recalls what
we had really forgotten that this
beautiful custom of meeting once Il
year in honor of the dead soldiers
and putting flowers upon their
graves originated i'll the South in
1868, when the Southern women,
ever foremost in noble deeds of self
sacrifice and Acknowledgements
he beautiful custom, afterwards to
be adopted in behalf of the ''bOys
who wore the blue" DR.. Abbott is
right i'll saving that it was American
| courage, American manhood, Ameri-
can loyalty to conviction exempli-
fled in the great conflict, and the
hOnoring of those who then died will
become, if it has not already become
among the highest and noblest priv
ileges of the American citizen. When
Abraham Lincoln was told of the
terrific charge at Gettysburg and in
enthusiastic terms the relatOr ex-
claimed, "Thank God, Mr.. President.
none but Americans could resist such
| an onslaught the President replied
NO, and thank God none but Amer
leans could have made it." The
courage and seli-sacrifice OF the sol
diers on either side in that family
| conflict is n family legacy which will
grow brighter and brighter as time

A Vicious Statute.

From the Enfield Ledger, whose
editor is a lawyer, we take the folloW-
ing:
Under the common law when the
commission of a crime is proved the
intent is inferred, and then the bur
den of proof is shifted to the defend
ant to show want of intent Or other
mitigating circumstances which VIII
convert q grave crime into one OF
lesser degree or entirely exOnerate
the defendant. Nothing could be
more reasonable than this rule. 1t
is impossible for jury to look into
the recesses OF the heart and mind
and so say whether man premedI-
tated an act and SO committed 1t
with malice aforethought. There
fore the law infers that he did this
and requires him to rebuff the pre-
sumption OF evidence showing there
was no malice. But the Legislature
OF North Carolina has passed an act
reversing the rule OF the common
law. and now when IL man kills ar
other the burden OF proof is on the
State to show that the act was pre-
mpditated and with malice afOre-
thought. Should the State fail TO
produce evidence to convince the
Jury OF his, however horrible may be
the circumstances, the crime Is re-
duccd to murder in the second de-
gree.
4 mere statement OF the effects OF
the statute is sufficient to show
its viciOusness. The actings and
workings OF the human mind are i'll
visible and intangible and are con-
cealed in the recesseS OF each indlvld-
ual breast. The Jury is sworn to
be guided by the law and the evil
dcnce, and the lawyer for the defend
ant is continually holding before it
that the State must prove the intent
and the Judge charges to the same
effect. Under these circumstances a
conscientious jury cannot find malice
without evidence and ii great many
escape the Just penalty OF their
crimes.
1t needs but "a glance at the crimi-
| mails OF the State for Il year to show
| the evil effects of this statute. III
| Charlotte IL mans private house is
invaded and himself murdered and
| the perpetrator gets off with five
| years III the peniteiltiary. On pas
senger train near Henderson a rail
road man who had gone to the res
cue OF the conductOrin the discharge
OF his duty to defend him from the
murdcrOus assault Of riOtOus lie
| grGes, is shot down and the murderer
gets off with a period OF imprison
ment And SO the list might be con
tinued almost indefinitely showing
that North Carolina is forging to the
front in criminal reputation.
