The day that summer died the sun rose
dim,
And all his rays shed but a CHASTITY light:
The air grew chill and woodlands seemed
so grim
The birds at once prepared for southern
fight
The flowers abashed without his pleasant
smile
No longer raised their heads in conscious
pride.
But closed their petals lest such frowns
defile,
The day that summer died
The day that summer died the languid
breezes
Blew ftfully and died away at eve;
The leaves Of glossy green upon the trees
Encrimsoned grew, with beauty TO de-
ceive,
AS came the flush on fevered brow and
hectic cheek
OF her loved, and i'm my arms who died
That dismal day, of which / rarely speak,
The day that summer died.
The day that summer died the sun sank red
And glowed portentous in the western
sky;
The mingled clouds were tinged with colors
AS horrid glarings of some demons eye.
The shadows vague, uncanny in the
PRIME,
Crept FINAL DER the meadows like a
tide;
And coldly silvered night the earth with
rhine.

Fair flowers with true affection wove.

Dew-kissed and stainless as a dove;
Attribute rare. nor dearly bought,

ARE NEW WITNESSES
In JETT AND WHITE CASE
Important Evidence Expected to Be Brought Out
in the Second Trial Now On

John Freeman, another important
witness for the commonwealth, who
is said to have fled to the mountains
during the trial at Jackson last month,
was also brought in by a deputy to-
day. Both will be held until they are
called by Commonwealth Attorney
Byrd. -
Capt B. ]. Even, the principal wit
ness for the prosecution, was the first
witness called by the commonwealth.
Capt Even left the stand after he
had been subjected to a rigorous cross
examination by the attorneys for the
defense. After his testimony Judge
Osborne asked him if he desired guards
to take him across the river to the
camp. He said that he did, and he was
temporarily placed in one of the jury
rooms until the military were called for,
and they took him to Camp Licking.
On the witness stand 1t developed
that he had made different statements
to Judge Hargis and others immediate
ly after the killing of Marcum in
Breathitt county. He gave as his rea-
sons that he was afraid of Hargis and
Callahan. He said that Hargis, Gala
han and Combs had called him into
consultation after the killing, and told
him what to say, and that he had
agreed to do so. as he was afraid of
being killed then and there. This Gre
ated some stir in the court room, and
Immediately after he had left the stand
some applause was started, which
Judge Osborne promptly suppressed.

one Witnesses for the commonwealth
answered to their names.
Prosecuting Attorney A. T. Byrd,
who conducted the commemorative
side of the case at the trial of Jack
son, made the opening statement for
the prosecution.
While the defense has subpoenaed
over a hundred witnesses to impeach
those who are testifying for the COM
monwealth and prove alibis for Jett
and White in the Marcum murder case,
the prosecution is also securing many
valuable witnesses that could not be
secured during the first trial.
Officers arrived to-day from Breath
lit county with Samuel Little, who
is considered a stronger witness than
either B. ]. Even or John L. Patrick.
1t is stated that Samuel Little not only
saw Jett and White just before Mar

put also that he witnessed the shoot
ing in the Court House.

REFoRMERS TERRIFIED.
Old Policy of Repression Practiced
Again in China.

Pekin, July 29.-The Chinese, who
are advocating government reforms,
have been terrorized by the re-adop-
ton of the old policy of repression. as
instanced by the recent arrest at
Shanghai of Chinese editors on charges
of sedition.
These arrests are interpreted here as
Indicating that the extreme conserva-
tives are in the ascendancy, and that
the government has determined to sup
press the comparative freedom OF
speech which has prevailed since the
upheaval Of 1900. All foreigners and
progressive Chinese are deeply inter-
ested in the decision which the min
listers will make on the question OF
turning over the native editors arrest
ed at Shanghai to Chinese jurisdiction,
and they express the hope that tech
nicalities concerning the jurisdiction or
the mixed court will be ignored. II

hour in prayer and religious conversa-
