CAN'T BRIBE NEGROES.
Supreme Court Affirms Buying of Their
Votes Is Without the Pale
of the Law,

Washington, May 6.-The United
States supreme court, in a decision by
Justice Brewer, yesterday delivered an
opinion in the case of United States
Marshal James of Kentucky VS.. Henry
Bowman. involving the validity Of Sec
ton 5507 of the revised statutes respect
ing the bribery of persons protected by
the fifteenth amendment.
The opinion affirmed the decision Of
the United States district court for the
western district Of Kentucky, declaring
that suit was unconstitutional. Bow
mar was indicted for bribery of negro
voters in connection with the congress
sional election in the Fifth congression-
al district of kentucky in the election

writ of habeas corpus on the ground
that the statute was in contravention
of the federal constitution. The dis
trict court thereupon discharged Bow
mar and the government brought the
case to the supreme court, Which at
tirrned the opinion.

BLACK HILLS MUST
STAND BIG RAISE
Lawrence County Instructs As,
SCISSORS to Increase Assess
ment so Per Cent.
WILL REDUCE TAX LEVY
State Board of EquaIization's DEMAND
That That Section Contribute
More to the State Will
Be Honored.

Deadwood, S. D., May 6.-The com.
m%issioners of Lawrence county have
given verbal instructions to the county.
and city assessors to raise the assess
ment of property so per cent. over the
assessment of last year. 1t is ex.
pected hat CONSERVATION will be
created in some circles, although 1t is
asserted by the members of the board
that the reduction IN IaX levy will
fully offset the increase in valuation.
The raise is made on account Of the
attitude Of the state board of equaliza-
ton, which has repeatedly threatened
in the past to raise the assessments on
Black Hills property in a way that
would be startling unless the com
missioners themselves did so. It has
been claimed for a long time, and per-
haps with some justice, hat the Black
Hills state institutions receive more
in appropriations than this part of the
state pays into the treasury in taxes,
and the action Of the commissioners OF
this county is to remedy that condition
in part at least.

DAMAGE WAS SMALL.
Grain and Fruit Not Damaged Much by
Late Frost.

Canton, S. D., May Careful inves-
tigation shows thai while the cold,
snow and frost of the last week was
the seyerest in many years, the damage
done in the southern part of this state
Is trifling in comparison to what was
feared. Oats and wheat, which were
thought to have been damaged to an
alarming extent. now show unmistak-
able signs of soundness, the damage
done to them being so small that it will
be scarcely noticeable by the last Of
this week. Apple and other fruit trees,
which We're supposed to have suffered
greatly by the storm, are also coming
out nicely, for it's seems that they were
not far enough advanced in foliage
when the storm came to be materially
injured. About the only thing that
suffered any at all in that line was the
plum crop. In most cases they We're
budded quite freely and many Of the
buds were killed by the frost, but there
are enough of them left to assure a
good crop. The greatest mischief done
by the storm throughout this section
was in loading the fruit and forest trees
down so heavily with snow and ice that
a great many limbs were broken off and
thus the trees We're permanently In
jured. The storm may also be the cause
of some damage to the coming corn
crop because it has delayed planting a
week and the crop will now be late get
ting into the ground.

GETS CHANGE OF VENUE
Ex-Marshal Richards Jumps From the
Frying Pan Into the

Des Moines. Ia, May 6.-Ex-Deputy
United States Marshal Richards Sc
cured the much coveted change of
venue, but has simply plunged from the
frying pan into the fire. The case has
been transferred to Warren county for
the September term. Judge Gamble,
before whom the case will naturally
come for trial, is regarded by Richards
as his worst enemy, for the reason thai
when Gamble sentenced Baird he de-
clared that the evidence had pointed
conclusively to the implication of Rich
ards in the robbery of the Sullivan
home in Hamilton on New Years eve;
that Richards had not only attempted
to shield the wounded bandit, but had
himself been present at the robbery. 1t
is assured that Richards will attempt
to secure another judge when the case
comes to trial on the ground of pre-
viously expressed bias on the part of
Judge Gamble.

A STORY.
Episcopal Clergyman Tells Why Presi-
dent Withdrew from That Church.

! Syracuse, N. Y, May Elm a SER
mon delivered here Rev. George C..
Richmond, an Episcopal clergyman,
told a new anecdote about President
Roosevelt. Said he:
When he graduated from Harvard
and went home to New York he decid-
ed, as thoughtful men often do, to de-
vote part of his energy and ability to
work Of the church. He had been born
and bred into that branch of Chris
.tianity known as the Dutch Reformed
church. But at this point in his life he
decided to give his strength, vitality
and sympathy to the Episcopal church,
which in his mind had the best field
for work. To a man of his
constitution, its mission in the present
age. its chance for work among Gods
| people Of today, was Of course the pre-
vailing motive for his choice.
HE entered into the work Of the
New York parish and look time to
teach the boys Of the @:nday school.
Here, in this church, he met a spirit
which shocks and c~onfoUnds the real.
true man, a spirit of m~eGiaevalism, a
spirit Of the unessential semblance of
the real.
A several services he failed to bow
when the rubric required such a pos
ture. He waited to kneel, as those who
noticed him watched with chagrin. If
they had left him alone he would have
learned the name OF the place. His
people We're ill-bred in those manners
which win men and make new souls.
They told this young fellow Of all his
ways as they had watched them, and
urged him to be more correct. AS a
result he left the church and threw up
his work. He went back to that body
of Christians where m%anliness is worth
more than manners, and strength of
character more than ritual.'
