The hill passed but through certain techni- calities. was declared unconstitutional. A similar bill. with the unconstitutional features eliminated will be before the present session nf the Legislature, giving to the Inferior Criminal Court the powers sought in the original bill.
 Opposition to the bill has sprung up and it is understood an effort will he made to defeat it. The following notice has been posted conspicuously in the city, signed by The Citizens Committee.
 Public notice has been given that a bill will be introduced in this session of the Legislature to deprive the Justices of the Peace of Mobile of civil jurisdiction and that an Inferior Civil Court will be established instead: that the Judge there Ot shall be a salaried officer and that all Gees shall be paid into the State treas ury.

NlODtiCs JAis ~. In the City Court this morning the call was that of the State of Alabama vs. Charles Brannon. murder. This case, hke that of Gilbert Jarvis, the decision of which was rendered Saturday morning at Il o'clock, Is of more than ordinary interest The victim was man well known in this county and especially at Citronelle, where he had been a merchant for many years. and the defendant is a citizen living in the northwest part of the county and having a large family.
 From the proceedings of the preliminary examination 1t developed that there were cnly three eye witesses to the tragedy, one of whom was son of deceased, J. W. Thompson, and J. w. Bird, who had accompanied Mr. Thompson and ED Smith. in the employ of the defendant. The details of the killing, as brought out at the preliminary trial. are as follows: The defendant, Brannon, had given N. c. Thompson a mortgage on yoke of oxen. The mortgage had become due and the defendant had failed to liquidate it.. Thompson, with his son and Mir. Bird, went to Brannon's place to get the oxen. They found Eb Smith in charge of the team and seized them, starting at once for Citronelle. Smith hurried home and told Brannon of the proceedings and the two started after the Thompson party. When they had gone some distance and were about fourteen and half miles from Citronelle, they overlook the party and words ensued. Thompson was shot to death by Brannon.
 The defendant claimed that Thompson was advancing upon him with a heavy whip stock when he fired in self defense The witnesses for the State claimed, how ever. that such was not the correct ac- count of the affair. A large number of witnesses were summoned on behalf of the defendant. the State having but few. Solicitor Webb is assisted in the prose- ton by McAlpine & Robinson. while sam uel B. Browne. Esq. appeared for the de- fense.
 After both sides had announced ready the court ordered the officials to proceed with the call of veniremen Out of the first 100 the following ten competent jur- ors were secured: Edward W. Goss. Will liam D. J. Branscomb. Charles F. Griffin, A. F. Arnold, Thomas E. Pratt, Clayton c. Tunstall, William P. Mcdonald. Henry J. Scott. James R. Groom and James F. Johnston.
 The court ordered another venire of 100 drawn which was done, but out of these no jurors were secured and the special venire of 100 was ordered drawn, after which court adjourned until tomorrow morning. .s

Reformer Retires; New One Appears
(Salt Lake Telegram1

(Salt Lake Telegram.)
Mrs. Ellen Henrotin,ra pioneer in the
ranks of women reformers has changed
front and urges women to give up the
work of reform. leave that to the men.
and devote themselves to art, litera-
ture and the more graceful accomplish
ments of life. This, coming as it does
just as Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish had de-
cided to give her surplus energy to
reform in politics, and anywhere else
that reform might be needed. is inter-
esting.
Mrs. Henrotin has been in reform
work for years, not merely as a private
laborer. but as a leader. With a gift
for organizing, she has marshaled her
hosts, sounded the cry and won many
a victory Now she calls a halt and
urges a retreat into more private life.
Mrs Fish wants a change. The mar
row circle of the four hundred, with
it's eternal round of dinners. private
theatricals and exclusive balls. is a
WEAKNESS no longer endurable. She
will have a change, and reform offers
to her novel field of wholly fresh ex-
periences. So there you IRE.
Are not women" says Mrs. Hen
rotin, "by their intense activity. weak
ening man in comparison?" Yes" is
the answer implied. Because men may
grow faint-hearted in the presence of
heroic women, kind consideration is to
be shown them. Women will encourage
them to be brave, not by setting them
an example of courage and zeal in a
good cause, but by allowing them free
play without any disheartening evil
dences ow woman's natural superiority
in the open struggle for better order
of things.
1t remains to be seen whether Mrs.
Fish or Mrs. Henrotin will have the
larger number of followers. Few
women who have once enjoyed the ac-
in the house shut up with 'the 'broid-
cry frame" Even the excitement of
club life is tame in comparison with
a hand in a reform campaign. Fur
Their than this, there are women who
are ungracious enough to say they be-
lieve in natures law of the survival of
the fittest, and that if men are dis
by the intense activity of
women they must stay discouraged and
not attempt to struggle hopelessly
against natural law.
The question is difficult to decide. but |
most women will answer it according |
20 their own mood and temperament.

Honest Patriotism
(Spokane Chronicles


A man need not be a republican to
echo Theodore Roosevelt's Thanksgiv-
ing proclamation-he only needs to be
an honest American citizen to repeat:
I'm no other place and at no other time
has the experiment of government of
the people been tried on 50 vast a scale
as here in our own country in the open
years of the. twentieth century. Fail
ure would not only be a dreadful thing
for us, but dreadful thing for all
mankind, because il would mean loss
of hope for all who believe in the power
and the righteousness of liberty. There
fore, i'm thanking God for the mercies
extended to us in the past, we beseech
that he will net withhold them in the
future. and that our hearts may be
aroused to war steadfastly for good and
against all evil forces, public and pri-
vate."

From the Gem State Rural:
Instead of pleading with the railroad
people to run trains to accommodate
the local passenger traffic. If the people
of Boise and other towns, for that mat
ter. would unite for the construction
of electric lines. it would do more to
relieve the situation than anything else
that could possibly be done. Besides
this, there is scarcely a question but
that such lines would prove profitable,
almost from the start. Somebody
ought to be exploiting these projects.
instead of everlastingly waiting for, or
begging, the railroad company to do
things or not to do them.

and invest their money in better land
and get two acres where they only had
one and have surplus for other in

Idaho county is the most strongly
unionized of any in the whole west.
Perhaps you wouldn't think it. But
it is true. Why, horse thieves are con-

for doing it without joining the union.
One fellow pleaded guilty last spring,
because he knew they would prove it
on him anyway, and he threw himself
on the mercy of the court. Another one
went up this fall. This scabbing on the
unions is a mighty serious thirg-here

his ten acre tract in West Mankato and

right, but by starting from another they
are not right. The government stake
has been lost. G.. n Andrews represents

PHONES TAKE OPERATORS PLACES
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
By an order made recently by the
officials of the Milwaukee road tele-
phones will be installed at Dundas and
Cannon Falls, thereby doing away with
the telegraph operators at those sta
lions. The station agent at these places
will have charge of all the business as
well as operate the telephone. All train
orders will of necessity come through
the Mortified station and will be hello'd
to the agents at Dundas and Cannon
Falls. The telegraph instrument at the
towns were taken out last week and the
phones are now in working order This
change is thought to have resulted
from new schedule in the wages of the
Order of Railroad Telegraphers, which
recently demanded a raise of twenty per
cent
