! Although he is the Republican
nominee for judge in the Fifth
Judicial circuit, Hon. Asbury Par
sons Of Jackson county, has be-
come a Democrat, and will vote
for Parker and Davis. The an
nouncement was made Saturday
at Ripley, Mr.. Parsons home, by
his intimate friends. He is quoted
as saying that he is a supporter
of the Democratic presidential
nominee and an advocate of the
platform adopted by that party.
Mr.. Parsons was a Democrat until
a few years ago, but changed poll
tics when Mckinley was nomi-
mated. He was made the judicial
nominee in a warm race with
three other prominent candidates,
and his supporters express con-
siderable disappointment at his
change of political faith.

commemorate the centennial OF
the purchase of the Louisiana ter
ritory was brought before the peo-

many who said that it was too
soon after the Chicago fair, to say
nothing of the Of the Pan-Amerl-
can exposition-which in its way
was as much a success as the Co.
lumbar exposition-to make a
success of it. 1t was freely pre-
dicted that the attendance would
not be great enough to warrant
such an outlay as must be made,
but St. Louis knew better. Strong
in her own pride and mighty In
the belief in her own strength, she
waved aside all DIRECTORS and pro-
ceeded to erect a marvellous city OF
wood, stone and staff such as the
world never saw before. Then
she filled it with such an aggrega-
ton of wonders as were never dis
played before the eyes OF man.
"Come," she said, "see what [
have prepared for you" The Lou
isiana Purchase exposition is half
over and st. Louis is bitterly dis
appointed, for, according to the
Globe-Democrat, the leading pa
per of the city, the attendance has
not been over half what it should
have been. 1t is expected that IN
the cooler weather of the fall
there will be an increase in the
number of sightseers, but even at
the best there will be altogether
too few to make the fair the
grand success it was hoped. And
more's the pity. For St. Louis
has done marvelously we'll, and
deserves better of the country and
of the world. 1t will not make
her sorrows any the less poignant

General Kuroki's staff surgeons
have examined the bodies Of a
number of soldiers whom they al
lege have been the victims of Rus
sian atrocity. One Of the cases
cited was that of the condition of
affairs found at Two on July 3.
1t was declared by the surgeons
that the head Of a japanese SOL
der was skinned by the Russians,
while the blood was yet in circu-
lation. Four cases in the vicinity
of Siamatzsa also were reported IN
which the surgeons asserted that
the bodies were bayoneted and
disfgured after the victims had
fallen wounded. The publication
of these statements has created a
feeling Of disgust and intense re-
sentiment everywhere.

The attendance is large and the

LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Nothing Done So Far In Either
House. COMMITTEES at Work
On Both Bills.

Charleston, Aug. S.-The SEN
ate and House adjourned last
Tuesday at noon until Friday NOR
ming in respect to the death OF
Delegate Trumbo of Pendleton
county, and also on account OF the
Democratic State convention.
Since that time a great many of
the solons have departed for their
homes. Nothing Of Importance
has been done and no bills passed.
The Republican bosses placed
twenty-four tax bills before both
houses and had them offered at
the same time. Then Republi-
can caucus was held with Elkins,
Scott, Dayton and number of
others present. 1t was urged by
these gentlemen that all bills
should be passed as they were
written by the self-constituted
committee of four without the
dotting of an 81" or the crossing
of a ''t." This did not please a
large number of them, and a spirit
Of rebellion was very noticeable
at once, but nothing was said un-
til the Senators left the Capital
city. After that time it become
noised about that the bills provid-
ed for taxing the farmers land,
implements, stock and product at
their full value and placing no adj
ditional tax on railroads, coal,
etc. The members began at once
to look into the matter, and feel
! ing of disquietude has been the
result, House Bill No. l, tax
measure, came up on second read
ing Tuesday last and it was be-
ing cut to pieces in such horri-
BILE manner that the leaders at
once advised that it be recOmmit-
ted to the proper committee. All
of the bills which were proposed
are now being overhauled by GER
tain members of the Senate and
House composed of President
May. Senators Robinson, Cree,
Snyder, Northcott and Swisher,
and Delegates AIoates, Gregory,
Reynolds, Furbee and several 9TH
ers. These gentlemen are in ses-
sion daily and nightly and will |
not complete their work until
Friday morning. The bills will
then be reprinted and, possibly, |
passed without many further
amendments.
Delegate Shilling has resolu- !
ton before the House to tax Oil,
gas and coal, and there are several
others in preparation and will be
offered to tax railroads and other
corporations. In all, it seems as
though the sessions might be
warm and some startling develop
ments come to light.
The B. & O. railroad is attempt
ing to gain favor for Delegate Hill
of Tyler, by honoring all orders
given by him for railroad passes
to members of the House. 1t will
be remembered that last session
Hill voted with the railroads in
all matters and against all labor
and farmer bills. The members of I
the Railroad committee, of which
he was chairman, are now COM
menting on the favors shown Hill
by the railroad company and
wondering how he can again de-
ceive the people.
The session will possibly not be
over ten days or two weeks yet,
and if the taxation Of corporations
is taken up summer fight will be
the result.

But that hain't matter to harp on

Do We notice that rug where we're sit

A hit-or-miss pattern they call it; 1t

But our'n hain't ever done nothin' that

Then the shadders stalk an the embers
talk an voices sound In the rain,
An read in them strands Of the dead
an the gone, till they seem to
be with me again.
There where my cane is p'intin', that
is some bombazine:
Twas as pretty dress for a weddin'

A VERY ADVANCED POSITION.

We are building hospitals and sani-
who are sick and prolonging the lives
of those who are Ill beyond re-
eovery. L. Benjamin Andrews, Chan
cellor of the University of Ne
braska, is OF the opinion APP
parently that when men, women
and children are no longer able to serve
any good purpose in the world. when
they are sick and physicians are of the
opinion they have no chance of recov-
cry, they should be helped on their jour-
ney to the other world, as they are only
a burden to themselves and their friends
In this.
The way in which he came to express
this opinion is as follows: 1t seems
John d. Rockefeller has given S66, 666 to
the Nebraska State University on con-
dition that it's friends would raise $685.
3S3, the money to be used for a build
ing. Some of the state papers and a
number Of influential citizens object
to receiving any of Mr.. Rockefeller's
money, because of the belief that It is
the product of monopoly.
Rockefeller said that the latter ought
not to be held responsible Cor every
thing done by the corporation of which
he is the head. Besides, Mr.. Rookie
TELLER never crushed out a competitor,
according to Chancellor Andrews, with
III, Sc, hi
plant. It was inevitable that the COM
petitor would have to go to the wall
sooner or later. since the weaker would
have to yield to the stronger Mr.. Rookie
Teller only fastened the going OF his
competitors, and he did this so
going at once than by watt
ing. Some one interrupted the
Chancellor and suggested: Like taking
up an ailing child and wrineing It's
neck" To the suggestion the Chancel-
lor responded:
yes. the analogy is not a bad one. I
believe that society, as 1t becomes more
enlightened. will come to adopt some
such course as you suggest. Such cases
will be referred to a committee of
skilled physicians and IL they decide
that the life is a wreck, that recovery
is impossible, on their decision the
sufferer will be mercifully put to
| DEATH"
Chancellor Andrews was such an adj
vanced thinker and teacher that Brown
| University was displeased with him,
and he went to the public schools of
| Chicago, and now 1t seems he is at the
head Of the State University in ".
Bryan's state. Is there not danger that
| ne will not prove acceptable there? Mr..
| Rockefeller's money seems to have
| hypnotized him. The doctrine that
people who are weddings or are at
hicted with incurabIe diseases so that
they are a burden should be put out
Of the way will hardly be acceptable
In this day and generation, not even
TO open a way for the acceptance OF
Rockefeller money by colleges and
| university

GETTING AHEAD OF THE ORIGINAL
PACK AGE

AACAANUE<s
A bill in which Prohibitionists are
interested is that for limiting the in
terstate commerce law by giving the
states power to apply their excise
laws to liquor imported from other
states, whether in original packages or
not. 1t is known as the Hepburn
Dolliver bill, and is now being con-
sidered by the Judiciary Committee OF
the House. That committee is having
an interesting time with it. The Pro-
hibitionists are out in force and so are
the liquor men. There have been some
stirring scenes in the committee room,
appeals to patriotism and all of that.
1t seems that thus far the Germans
are the strongest opponents of the bill.
The reason probably is that II 1t should
become law it would pretty effectu-
ally cut off their supplies of beer in
many parts of the country, at least
their favorite brands of that bever-
age.
1t will be recalled that the Supreme
Court of the United States decided
some time ago that liquors in original
packages could be transported into
prohibition states. This practically
nullified the prohibition laws in
those states. At least it ena-
bled people living in prohibition states
to get all the whisky, wine and beer
they wanted, Notwithstanding the laws
against the sale of intoxicants.
The purpose of the pending bill is to
enable the states to stop liquors in
original packages from crossing their
borders If they have laws prohibiting
the sale of intoxicants; in other words,
If they are prohibition states OF
course, the opposition to the bill is
very strong, and the chances are
against its passage. The liquor senti-
ment Is stronger than the prohibition
sentiment. 1t is probable that Con-
gress will be found to be on the side
of the most votes.
The way to beat the liquor business
is to educate the people against the
use of intOxicants- It is doubtful If
the use of alcoholic beverages can be
prevented Nv law 1HOse "Ho WANT
whisky will find way to get it.
1t is a pretty safe statement that
there is much less drinking now than
there was half century ago. Even
the use of wine isn't so common as 1t
was within the memory of the present
generation. The sentiment against
drinking, particularly drinking to ex-
cess, is stronger. In the course of
another half century 1t is probable that
the evils flowing from strong drink
will be far less apparent than they are
now

Hard to Satisfy some People.

ITS pretty hard to satisfy some peo-
ple," said the man who is always being
reminded of a story. II knew a fellow
once who never was happy under any
circumstances. Why, If a rich uncle Of
his had died and left him a million dol
lars he'd "a kicked because it wasn't
more. L remember once some of the
boys had got him to go to a fortune
teller who had told them some remark
able things. l suppose you don't know
that most of the prominent men of this
country believe in fortune telling, do
you? It's a fact They don't acknowl-
edge it, but 1 could give you the names
of high officials and leading financiers
who never think of going into an i'm
portant deal of any kind without con-
sulting clairvoyants. Well, this one, as
1 say, had foretold a lot of things that
had come true, and finally Parker, the
man who never was satisfied with any,
thing, went to her.
He came back the most badly
scared man you ever saw. She told
him he was going to die inside of six
weeks and advised him to get ready.
He had his will made and Strengthened
up his business as we'll as he could, so
there would be little trouble over af-
fairs when he had passed away. He
quit drinking and gave up tobacco. In
fact, 1t was the tobacco that had play
ed the dickens with him. Several life
insurance companies had refused to
give him a policy because he had a
weak heart, and he had tried a num-
Der of times to give up the use of the
weed, but always without success. Two
or three days were as long as he could
hold out, and then he'd always go back
with his heart getting worse and worse.
But when the fortune teller told him
he was right on the ragged edge he
was SO badly scared that his taste for
tobacco deserted him. He wanted no
more of it, and devoted his whole time
to the business of becoming a wiser
and better man. Finally the six weeks
passed, and, by George, he didn't die
In fact, his heart got stronger and he
found himself feeling better than he
had been for years. What do you sup
pose he did? Blamed if he didn't go to
the clairvoyant and demand 81, threat
ening IL she didn't give 1t back to have
her prosecuted for obtaining money
under false pretenses."
