Jury in the Jett- White Case In Kentucky
Unable to Come to Any
ACreamenf

Jackson, KY, June 20.-The jury in
the Jett-White case reported to Judge
Redwine at 8 o'clock in the morning
that 1t was impossible to agree upon
q verdict and were discharged.
The dominant faction evidently
expected acquittal, but there was at
least one juror who would not so re-
port. Judge Redwine has decided to
transfer the Jett-White case to Gym
thiana for the next trial.
The scene after the announcement
was in no wise exciting Some started
to clap hands, but were stopped by
the court. The guards took immediate
possession of the prisoners. and they
were closely guarded back to jail Peo-
pie gathered around the court house in
knots discussing the case, but there
was no disturbances nor outward sign
of trouble. Jet and White are to be
watched closely to prevent any sort
Of communication It is feared there
will be an attempt made to either res
cue the prisoners Or to dispose of them,
but this is practically impossible on ac-
count of the guards. Major Allen has
the situation we'll in hand.

One Of the greatest curiosities of the
Panama isthmus is the vegetable silk
tree. 1t is a plant that grows from
fifteen to twenty feet high and in ap
other trees, but the inner bark is a per-
feet silky fiber, long, smooth and
strong. The natives separate it by
some method best known to them
selves, the process somewhat resem-
bling that of beating flax. When once
it is separated and spun into threads,
it can be woven into a fabric so closely
resembling silk that it is difficult for
any one not familiar with it to dis
tinguish between the two

STRIKE rs SAID TO BE PAST
Walters and Cooks at Chicago Are Re-
ported To Be All Back at
Their Work,

Chicago, June 20.-The strike of the
walters and cooks is a thing of the
past, and the majority of the men re-
turned to work today. The settlement
Of the trouble was reached after a
meeting which had lasted for the great
er part of the day. 1t was agreed
that IS per cent. of the strikers shall
resume their old places, and the re-
mainder are to have their positions
within ten days.
On the question of absolute recog-
ton of the union the hotel and res
taurant prOprietors are to have the
right to employ what help they choose,
no matter whether it belongs to the
union or not. The employees have the
right to join the union or remain out
of it, as they choose, and there is to
be no discrimination against either I'M
ion or the nOn-uniOn men. The ques-
ton of an increase in wages was left
open for settlement byarbitration prob
ably.

Every volume bears on a tab-not in
timber, but, queerly enough, in moroc
co-the name of the tree from which it
was obtained. There are plates of the
tree in all stages of it's growth, and the
letterpress is a treatise on the forest
ing and natural history of the tree.

In Emerson as an American, as pa

heritance peculiarly our own which
will grow richer with the spending, for
the spending of such an inheritance

our nobler national accomplishments

Belgrade, June 23.-A remarkable
change is occurring in the tone of some

Another journal reproaches the Ser

whom they once pretended to adore.
These expressions are taken to indicate
