JURY RULED BY FEAR.
Attorneys for Caleb Powers AIIese an
Unfair Verdict.

Lexington, KY. Aug. 3l-The attor-
neys for Caleb Poewrs, who was given
a death sentence at Georgetown Sat
urday for alleged conspiracy to murder
Governor William Goebel who was as
sassinated at Frankfort in January.
1900, claim that the jurors in the Pow
er's trial We're frightened into giving
the defendant the extreme penalty by
the officers guarding them, telling them
that the friends of Powers had made
three attempts to burn the boarding
house in which they We're locked at
night to sleep.
One of the jurors said here yesterday
that Deputy Sheriff Lusby told the
members Of the jury how near they
came TO being burned up. and said that
Deputy Robinson had beep stationed at
the rear of the house to stand picket
during the night until the trial was
over.
Turyman Wilson said that the jury
was in great fear oi being crematel
and all were delighted when the trial
was over. The attorneys for the de-
fense say that If there was an attempt
made 10 burn the boarding house 1t
was made by friends of the prosecution
TO scare the jury into returning YER
dict for hanging Powers.
They heard of the affair too late to
offer ii as a reason for new trial, but
the matter will be urged before the
court of appeals, in order TO secure
new trial The impression appears to
be that Powers will be hanged. the
higher court refusing to Interfere, III
which event the governor will fix the
day of execution.

BROTHER TO THE OK.
ICollier's Weekly

Brother to the OK is term used by
one critic of the negro problem to in
dicate a condition which has been often
recommended for bad black men, al
though it has never received serious
legislative discussion. Just why it has
not more advocates we are not sure.
ANYTHING which can be called mutila-
ton seems wrong to many In this
case it does not seem wrong to US.
There seems to be some difference of
opinion about it's danger. Any sense
of decency which opposed it would be
mistaken, for the evil is too great to
be complicated by prudery. The ef-
ficacy fthis treatment is probable FOL
the punishment then becomes absolute
and lasting disgrace which is what Is
needed. Nobody admires the unfortu-
nate who has become brother to the
OK. and few pity him. 1t would be
more effective penalty even than death,
for the danger of hanging is exciting,
and this other danger has no allure
ment. The victim instead of seeing
himself the hero of drama. as crini-
nails often proudly conceive themselves,
would be in shame everywhere. Some
large medical word could be invented
for use in court. and the execution or
the penalty would naturally be private,
serious and skillful No dangerous pre-
cedent for manning as a general prac-
tice could be established in these days.
1t would apply to black and white
alike, although adopted for fault
more characteristic of the blacks. 1t
would meet the views of Mr.. Gilberts
successful executive. 1t would let the
punishment fit the crime. All punish
ment is cruel not excepting hanging,
we are unable to see the barbarity of
a treatment peculiarly likely to stop the
evil for which it is applied. If lawyers
of the .'unco guid' have any objec-
tions it would help our meditations -
have them stated. ~ la.A... ..4.... a...esllae

Washington, Aug. 31.-Not to be out

tary Shaw and Secretary Wilson live

Secretary Shaw and his son, however,

Washington for her summer abroad,
while Secretary Wilson pursued the
same course after the departure of his
daughter for the summer. They SIT at

Secretary Shaw and Secretary wilson
enter into general conversation and
take an interest in all topics and views
of their table neighbors They pre-
serve the dignity of their high official
positions without in the slightest meas
ure holding themselves aloof from the
regular boarders who live in the house.
Secretary Wilson is simple and eco
nomical in his habits and has always
entertained a great dislike for hotels
and restaurants, so before leaving town
Miss Wilson investigated the matter
and located her father and brother in a
house near their Vermont avenue resi-
dence, and Secretary Shaw, who enter
tains a similar dislike for hotels and
restaurants, took the advice of Secre-
tary Wilson and joined him there.

AT Parker our yield will not average
a carload of fruit to n hundred acres OF
trees said Mr.. Coombs last night.
Last year we had one orchard OF
eighty acres that yielded twenty-three
carloads of fine fruit. AT Lane we had
an orchard covering about a block ana
a half of ground, on top of hill, from
which we will get fair yield oil sooa
fruit. That's ALL In the remaining
500 acres at Lane we will get fewer
than five carloads of fruit. Last year
our yield from the 500 acres was forty
two carloads.
The same story is true of orchards
elsewhere in this section of the country.
Last spring the trees blossomed fuller
than ever before and the prospects for
a bumper crop were never better Ihen

SCHOOL MA'AM'S WAGES.
IEagia Grove Eagle

In most of the discussion regarding
the wages this state is paying It's
country school teachers the real mer-
it's of the matter are ignored and SIM
ply protest is made against the
present scale of salaries. When the
quality of work required, the amount
of work done, and the talent employed
are considered there is found no cause
for this protest. Again the protest
comes from the city dailies who have
no direct interest in the matter and
who could with much more propriety
leave the matter in the hands OF the
local parties who are involved in the
management and who pay the costs.
Each district selects its teacher,
decides the length of the term, how
many months shall be taught In the
winter and how many in the summer.
The local and peculiar needs OF the
community are known and considered
and determine the policy of the man

a half dozen young pupils to attend
the school it will be held in the sum

month salary is not in any sense in

1t is simply impertinent for any out
side party to presume to dictate or
criticise the action of these country
school directors as to their manage
ment of their schools and the wages
they pay their teachers. They are ON
the ground: they are the interested
parties; they know the individual sit

the local situation demands; they
know what it is worth and they pay
the bills Their city critics know

INDICTED FOR PERJURY.
Hardin County Grand Jury Finds True
Bill Against Allen CreceIius.

Special to I1meS-RepuDllcan.
Eldora, Aug. 31.-The grand jury
made it's report late Saturday night.
Four indictments were found. the most
important of which is that against AL
len Crecelius, on the charge of perjury.
Crecelius was one of the witnesses be-
for the coroner's jury that investigated
into the cause of the death of young
man named Long at Whitten last fall.
Long was found dead by the side of an
outside stairway down which he had
fallen while intoxicated. AS Long was
addicted to the habitual use of liquors
the druggists at Whitten and other
nearby towns refused to sell him liquor.
Crecelius at the inquest denied that he
had bought liquor for Long, but the
evidence of the druggist and his clerk
at Whitten before the grand jury
showed that Creceius had bought two
bottles of whisky the night Long was
killed, two bottles of the same size and
kind being found on Longs dead body.
While it is not likely Crecelius can be
punished for any other crime than per-
jury. In an indirect way, If the per-
jury charge is proved, it makes him
partially responsible for Longs death.
Fred DeBroat. of Steamboat Rock
was indicted for indecent exposure of
