/ The announcement Of the par
don was made this morning by the
Home Office. 1t is said that Queen
Alexandra had more to do with
this exercise ofroya1 clemency thar
any one else, as she has always
doubted the guilt of the convicted
woman.
Sensational litigation is apt tc
follow the liberation of Mrs May
brick. The announcement of her
pardon will be used by her Wash.
ington attorney to secure a post
ponement to the trial Of the great
law suit bearing on the prisoners
property interests in Kentucky,
Virginia and West Virginia.
The property in dispute is valued
at several millions. Relatives Of
the family of Mrs May brick have
made determined efforts TO obtain
possession of this wealth on the
ground that the woman, being a
life convict, could not hold property
in her own right. The suie will be
pressed by the defence as soon as
Mrs. Maybrick is Liberated.
Jefferson City,, March 26.-The
hardest blow the meat trust has ev-
er received has been dealt by the
Missouri supreme court.
The five defendants in the pro-
ceedings to oust them from the state
brought by the encouragement
last summer eliminated in the su.
preme court, which effects the big
gest prcking companies in the coun-
try.
Fines of SIS 900 each were assess
ed against Armour & Co., Cudahy
Packing Co., Hammond, Schwarz
& Shields and the Sulzberger Pack
ing Company.
In addition to this the supreme
court orders the members of the
combine to pay at once the full costs
of the action, which will amount to
S., 600 in each case.
The strongest point in the deci-
siop, however, is that in which q
penalty is fixed for violation Of the
order tc pay. ST: y
It is decreed that unless the
members of the meat trust shall
pay the fines and the costs of the
action within 80 days, they will be
ousted from the state and prevent
ed hereafter from doing business:
within the borders of Missouri.
There still remains the termina-
tion of the definite ''ouster" pro-
ceedings which are yet to be heard
on the merits of the contention Of
the attorney general. The decision
Of the court today is taken as evil
dence that the combine win be de-
clared an unlawful aggregation for
the purpose Of restricting trade and
controlling prices.

OUR PROTEST..

Both from "Our Dumb Ami
mails and q Circular communica-
ton from John p. Haynes. presi-
dent OF the American Society Tor
the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami
mails, we are informed that an
effort is being made in Congress
to have the Tune between drinks
and rest for live stock in course OF
shipment to market extended from
twenty-eight hours, the present
law, to forty (4o) hours. BY way Of
amendment. Such an amendmeu,
ough TO be voted down by a praeti-
cally unanimous vote. II the pro-
moters Of the amendment had to
bear the extension of time between
drinks we would not object, but we
draw the line at our food animals
and raise our protest with 9th
ers against any such cruelty. All
animals ought to be well treated,
more especially those that are to
be used as food. We do not be-
Iieve in torture or cruelty Of any
kind TO any being, man or animal.
If one has to 60 to hell, make the
way as easy and as comfortable as
possible, for it Is hard enough
when they get there. Better short
en- the time for animals between
drinks rather than lengthen il.
We trust our representative in
Congress, DeArmond will vote
against the proposed amendment,
and we believe he will.

TmE TRUST DAMAGE.

Trusts are awful things. They
will, it let alone, so we are told,
soon ruin this country. Something
must be done and done quickly, or
our liberties will be lost, our pros
perity win be gone and we will all
60 to the everlasting bow-wows to-
gether.
How have the trusts hurt Henry
county, The Republican invites
replies from its readers. Can any
person tell how OF when we have
been injured; Can some one point
how we have lost by the existence
of great industrial combinationsi
The beef trust no doubt caused an
increase in the value OF our live
stock. The poultry trust has GER
tainly not cheapened the products
OF our poultry yards. There never
was a time when a great big crop Of
wheat. oats and corn WIS worth
more. right here at home, than these
crops are to day. The broom cor
trust did not bring any loss to Henry
county, The coal trust has made
our coal mine n almost rich.
The steel trust has not affected the
price Of iron and steel to any ma
terial extent. The oil trust has not
done Us any great harm. What we
wear is not higher in prce. What
we Fat may cost more, bur the sur
plus we have to sell pays for this
advance a thousand fold.
We ali remember very well that
Hon. David a. DeAmond, when
be was running for Congress last
fall. showed US how we wsre all
going to ruin because the steel trust
had been selling steel rails in Eu-
rope, for less money than it had
sold them tor in Mis- country. but
we all took timely warning and laid
in a stock Of steel rails, enough to
do as a whole season, and not a
family in Henry equity has suffered
this winter on this account.
Where have we been hit; How
have We been injuredi Somebody

Theft BY HypnOtism,

A curious case Of theft by means Of
hypnotism Is reported from Zurich.
a German from Munich recently
bought a house at a very low price
from a Swiss lady residing at Zurich.
After the sale the German persuaded
thclady to attend q spiritualist meet
ing which was to be held at his house.
The German informed the lady that
she would probably see st. John and
ST. Peter at the end Of the audience,
and il the disciples ofChrist gave any
orders she was to implicitly follnw
them. According TO the programme
the disciples appeared and command
ed the Swiss lady TO pay over 5000
francs-nearly the price OF the house
Ito the German. This she accord
ingly did, but later, when not under
the influence Of the German, she per-
ceiye6 she had been %cleyerly robbed,
and informed the police Of the affair.

HOSPITALS.
Are Recommended by the Health De
partment Of Chicago.

Portable hospitals are recon-
mended by the health department q

mental, but have been thoroughly
tested by the United States

pitfalls. The imperial board Of health
Of Germany has established depots Of
these hospitals, whence they can be
shipped TO any point in the empire
where an epidemic Of diptheria, scar
let fever, smallpox, etc, may appear.
After the epidemic has been sup
pressed the pavilion is taken down,
disinfected, and returned 10 the de-
pot for storage until again required.
As Chicago is rs miles long, the sug-
gestion seems decidedly commenda-
bic, az a single isolation hospital
would be expensive, and would not
snswer in epidemics. The Bulletin
says that since the beginning Of the
year there have been $50 deaths ia
Chicago from d~iphtheria, and only
four from smallpox, and that, since
the introduction Of the antitoxin,
diphthrria may be as successfully
handled as smallpox. The hospital
pavilions are procurable Of any de-
sired capacity, but the size rccom-
mended as most economical ofadmin-
i%stration will accommodate IA pa
