DOES PROSPERITY
HINDER COURT?
Judge Dale Cannot Get Enough
Jurors.
SIXTY-SIX ARE DRAWN
Farmers and Business Men
Come with Excuses.

The question is being asked about the
court house whether the abundant pros
perity in this county is not interfering
with the proceedings of the district court.
Judge Dale for more than a week has
been trying TO secure jurors enough to
proceed with the business of the court,
but up to the present time he has signally
failed. Not less than thirty jurors are
required and that many were drawn be-
fore the court commenced but they do
not stay when they come.
When the jury reports for duty the
Judge always asks them if any of them
want to be excused and it seems this year
pretty nearly all of them come forward
with what they consider a lawful excuse
why they should not be compelled to serve
on the jury
When the regular jury reported for
duty so many were excused that Judge
Dale ordered eighteen more names to be
drawn from the box and so many of them
we're excused that yesterday he ordered
twelve more to be drawn. This makes
sixty-six men in all that have been drawn
IL
off, the jury will be secured
Some people may think that the judge
ought not to let so many of the men
drawn to serve on the jury get off. But
how is he going to help it? When bust
ness man is drawn he comes in and takes
the oath-and then proceeds to tell the
court how his business will suffer II he IS
compelled to serve on the jury. He has
clerks but there is business that demands
his personal attention.
Some of the farmers come in and make
even a stronger plea TO be let off than the
business man. He tells of his work that
must be done and then he has stock that
must be cared for and there is no one TO
do il when he is away. When the judge
asks them if they can not get some one
to feed the stock and do the other work
they will tell him that there are no re-
sponsible laboring men in their neighbor-
hood out of employment and they can not
get men to work
There have been times in the past in
this county when a great many farmers
at this season of the year would have
been glad of the chance to earn few
dollars by serving on the jury but that
time is past They have too much to do
at home now and the farmer is not will
ing to give his time for the two dollars
a dav that is allowed for serving on the
jury.
Following are the names drawn from
the Jury box yesterday: r. D. Falkers

the enthusiastic reception given it during

L. +. Byrnes said he was convinced
that the object of the two men was not
so much transportation as burglary.
He says this is the first case on record
where men have been found nailed up
in boxes and billed for a long journey
on freight train where burglar tools
have been found in their possession.
He believes the men, knowing they
would be sent with the first-class
freight in their character as pianos,
intended to break out of the box. loot
the car and escape with the booty.
The ruse was discovered by one of
the freight handlers whose suspicious
were aroused by the fact that the box
appeared to be short weight for a
piano. He mentioned the fact to Mr..
Byrnes, who said he thought the in
strument was an automatic piano
player, which demands a higher rate
of transportation. He, therefore. or
dered the box opened and the two men
stepped sheepishly out of their hiding

TEMPERANCE FACTS.

AT the republican state convention
OF California smoking was prohib-
tied.
Lord Miner has issued an order Civ
ing local option to the Transvaal and
prohibiting the employment of bar
maids.
The police of Brooklyn have dis
covered an Illicit distillery in the cell
lar of private house in that city. They
found in wagon just leaving the
house 20-gallon milk cans filled with
whisky, these covered by bags of coal.
The men driving the wagon were ar
rested and raid made upon the house.
An organization has been formed for
the purpose of devising methods and
plans to secure prohibition clause in
the Forthcoming constitution of the
state of Oklahoma. To this end the
aid of the women's clubs and all
church and charitable organizations
throughout that country is being en-
listed.
The public school teachers of Whit
tier, Cal, are so aroused because of
the tobacco habit among the boys of
their grades that they have united
in an earnest plea to the merchants in
the town not to sell tobacco in any
form to boys under 10. The plea has
been published in the papers. and if
is hoped will awaken a crusade In the
town.

TEETOTALISM IN SCOTLAND.
Progress Which Is Being Made I'm
That Country Along PoIit-
ical Lines.

While in the United States only here
and there at wide intervals are to be
found total abstainers elected as NAV
ors, in Scotland it is quite otherwise.
Within recent years every election
shows an increasing number of magis-
trates and provosts (mayors) elected
to office. There are now AZ teetotal
provosts and a large number of teeto-
tai magistrates and councillors in the
various towns and cities of the conn
try.
The city of Glasgow, with nearly a
million population, is the largest mu-
nlcipal council in Scotland. Out of rs
popularly-elected members, 81 of them
are total abstainers, while the lord
provost, Samuel Chisholm, LID, is one
of the leading teetotalers of the conn
try.
The presence of so many temperance
reformers occupying the chief place
In municipalities can hardly be over
estimated. Their influence in the COM
munity is enormous and give tone and
character to the city or town of which
they are the civic heads.
AS the representatives to the town
councils in Scotland elect the magis-
trates who administer the license laws.
1t is of the utmost Importance to elect
to the councils those who hold sound
NEWS on the temperance question.

white lady who stopped at his home
In Williamsburg county, S. c., where
he was engaged in picking cotton and
killing tobacco worms. He became
fired with the ambition to be great
educator of his race, and one dark
night he stole away from home and
started on his search for the school.
Caleb strolled all over the south, he
said, icing directed by one person and
another, and few days ago was
amazed to find himself in Washington.
In this city, he said, he first learned
that the school of learning which he
had been seeking was far away in
Alabama. He went TO Baltimore and
visited Morgan college there. The
authorities advised him to see the
supervisors of charities in the hope
that they would send him to Tuskegee.
The supervisors, however, stated that
they were unable to send him to the
school, and the little fellow left the
headquarters with the remark that he
guessed he'd 'jes' have ter walk"

respondent that he lived on ginger
snaps because he could get more of
them for Is cents thnn he could of any-
thing else in the eating line.
