sure that his uncle was to be kill
ed, but did not at the time con-
meet his father or Ben Hughes
with the commission o,the crime.
Said that Bert Casey hau threat
ened to shoot witness. Casey sus-
pected witness Of being in collus-
ion with Others to deliver Casey to

After hearing the above testi-
mony, Col. Forrest, Of 81 Reno,
counsel for the defendants Jim
and Ben Hughes, asked for the re
lease Of Ben Hughes, on the grounds
that sufficient evidence had not
been shown to prove that he was IN
any way connected with tne mur-
der OF Lutte Houstony The request
was granted by Justice Starweath-
er, and Ben Hughes was released
from custody. The case was then
continued until Ga. IN. tomorrow.
The Grassland case is set for hear
ing Saturday April 20, The theory
OF the persecution seems to be that

eral concensus ofopluion seems to
be that the case will assume an en-
tirely different aspect before tue

TIE WITCH.

Come, Phyllis, cease thy frightened
stare;
Thou seest but a woman there
An ancient, crafty, one-eyed dame,
Who plays so well tn witchcraft game
with mystic signs and wond'rous
runes)
That many simple country looms
Do fear her more than death itself,
And, fearing, yield their hard-earned
pelf
For charms to ward the evil eye
Or cause their foes to pine and die.
Poor fools. All! shrink not at that
scream,
Twas but the owl. Those orbs that
CLEAN
Are but cats. And take not fright
At yonder bats erratic fight.
I'll warrant, too that caldron there
Holds naught more dread than forest
hare.
So if witch there be, tits thou, ween,
With charms as sweet as eer were
seen;
And |, a captive meath thy sway,
Now plead, dear witch:

English Workmen Will Hereafter Pay
Members of Parliament.

By overwhelming majorities the
weavers of England have voted to as
sess themselves for the purpose of de-
fraying the election expenses of men
who will be chosen from their own
ranks to stand for parliament. The
weavers are very strong in several
districts and will doubtless secure the
support of other Union and Socialist
bodies. Nearly all the labor organiza-
tions of England have voted to levy
themselves to carry their fight into
the political arena, and it is a safe
guess that large number of stalwart
workingmen will take their seats in
the next parliament. America is about
the only country in the world where
we still vote for capitansms tools and
then ask for favors.--People's Paper.

Last year reaping machines were
employed for the first time by native
farmers of Syria. These pioneers all
came from Chicago. Eleven were
working during the late harvest in
Coele-Syria and twenty-six in the
plain of Esdraelon. Also, for the first
time in the history of this country,
the past year has witnessed the in
PRODUCTION and operation in Syria of
a steam threshing outfit. 1t came
from Richmond, Ind, and caused con-
siderable stir in Coele-Syria, where
it was installed. Its success was COM
plete, even to the bruising of the
straw-a most important item. since.
in the absence of hay and with the
sparing use of oats. barley and other
grains, crushed straw in these parts
constitutes the staple food for stock.
Furthermore, for the first time in the
annals of Syria, an oil-motor flour
mill has been successfully started in
this land; it came from Indianapolis.

en- to eleven and from two to four.
These hours are shortened for the
younger children. On Wednesday
and Saturday afternoons the schools
are closed. What seems strange TO
us is that all studying is done out OF
school A class not having a recita-
ton, therefore, is sent home, and so
it happens that few children are all
of the six hours a day in school, as
the above hours would seem to indI-
cate. The very little ones, for in
stance, may be in school from eight
to nine, from eleven to twelve, and
from two to three, the intervening
time being spent at home in play or
study. In consequence of this out-of-
school study, all books, pencils, and
stationery are taken home at the
close of the morning and afternoon
sessions. This has given rise TO the
use of knapsacks by both girls and
boys. These knapsacks are made of
leather either dressed or with the
hair on.

ton beyond that afforded by the

way. Girls in like manner go to a
higher school. The studies pursued
in German schools are much the same

allows secret marriages in the state.
1t provides that recorders may refrain
from recording marriage licenses until
after the ceremony is performed and
the return made, which is ninety days
after the licenses are issued. The bill
will be fought in the house, as it is

Why German School Hours Seem
Longer than They Really Are.

In Germany the law requires that
every child attend school from the
age of six up to fourteen. Parents
are compelled to pay a fine in court
if their children are absent from
school without good cause, and the
child must make up the time lost by
just as many extra days at the end
of his course as he has been absent.
Children are called by their last
names from the very first of their
school-days. Their teachers are men
almost without exception. The hours
for attendance in the winter are from
eight to twelve in the morning. and
from two to four in the afternoon:
