JUSTICE BURGESS
is PARALYZED.
Member of Missouri Bench SUI
fers Severe Stroke and Is
in Serious Condition.

Jefferson City, July 6.-Justice
Gsvon d. Burgess Of the Missouri
Supreme Court suffered a stroke OF
paralysis early this morning at his
home In the eastern part Of the city,
and, while resting easily tonight, is
yet In a serious condition.
JUICE Burgess was taken III Tues
day night and q physician sum-
moned. He was ieverish and sick at
his stomach during the night and
early In the morning suffered q par
aletic stroke.
He has been conscious since his az
Fiction, but talks with difficulty, and
in conversation iorgets many Of the
commonest words.
Judge Burgess has been noted as
one of the hardest working iurists OF
the country, and seldom takes a va.
cation from his work. He Is now
serving his second term on the bench
having been elected In 1892 and
1902. He was born In Kentucky, IN
November, 1885, and has been en-
gagged in the legal profession in Mis-
souri, for fifty years. He is married
but has no children.
1t cannot be determined ut thi,
time how serious his illness may he
| Even il he should recover sufficiently
to resume his work on the Supreme
bench, it is likely that he will first b.
compelled to take a long rest. Tn
less he should suffer another stroke
1t is not presumed that his lines
will result fatally, but may incapaci
tate him from further work.

Filipin0 Students Barred.

Louisville, KY, July 9.-The state
board has instructed the high school
board to inform four Philippine
students, who applied for admission
to the Dupont Manual Training high

Filipino boys be allowed free admit
tance to the school was presented to
the board. DR.. R. E. Calvin inquir-
cd If Filipinos are not negroes. Prof.
Mark said he had investigated the
law, a. to the separation Of races in

Abandoned.

has been done to railroad and other

1t il strange that the Republican
papers which have so much to say
about the escape Of boodlers through
technicalities In Missouri laws, have
80 little to say about the escape Of
criminals who violate the federal
laws. How many Republican Jour-
mails have denounced the present fed
ersl administration for It's failure to
prosecute the rich violators OF the
criminal clause 81 tho Sherman anti
trust law? How many have dc.
nounced the federal courts tor the
tschnicalty which CAUSED the aequit'

Chartreuse charges, has drawn up q
report generating Premier Combs

General OF the Ministry Of the Int

Holds Chicago BIameless for the
Ir0qu0is Fire.

Chicago, July Litigation to the
probable aggregate total OF $S,000,-
900 has been discouraged by ruling
Of Judge Holdom in the Superior
Court, to the effect that the city OF
Chicago was not liable in any degree
for the Iroquois theater fire.
A suit by Eva Catherine Gibson for
SIS, 900 damages because ofa broken
arm and an injured spine was the
case decided. Sixty other suits are
pending, and had the decision been
against the city hundreds Of Other
actions probably would have beef
fled.
The opinion was on the city's de-
murrer to the averment that the
theater was a pubic nuisance, and
that the municipality was liable be
cause OF the dereliction Of the officers
in issuing q license before the theatel
had complied with the ordinances
But even had the playhouse been {
nuisance in the legal meaning of tina
word, the city still would have beef
liable.
Every evidence OF the word 'Iroqu
OILS" in relation to the building form
erly known as the lroquois Theate
has been obliterated, and not evel
the sign remains to remind pa5ser
by OF the accident in which over 60
people lost their lives.
Painters CELEBRATED the sign whic
extended along the Dearborn-stree
side OF the building and painted owe
lit, Vaudeville Theater." The Goti
ic letters bearing the name which az
peared over the main entrance hay
been chiseled out. Nothing yet ha
been substituted.

The rapid increase in the use OF
commercial fertilizers in Missouri has
brought into the state a skillful lot
OF swindlers as ever operated the
"gold brick" scheme upon the unsus-
pecting farmers. Ashes, sand and
other cheap substances are mixed to-
gether, nicely sacked and labelled
and sold to the farmers as high grade
fertilizers. So common has theprac'
tice become that the Agriculture de-
partment OF the University OF Mis-
souri, is preparing vigorous cam
paign against the manufacturers
and distributors OF this spurious
article who place their goods for sale
on the Missouri market. A new
officer known as the Fertilizer In
spector has been appointed and II
will be his duty to travel over thu
state and inspect the fertilizers OF
tered for sale and properly labe
those found in good quality. When
ever distributors or manufacturer
are found deirauding the farmers
the evidence secured by the Univsrsit.
will be placed In the hands Of tn
prosecuting attorney in whose coun
~ the sale was made and he will b
assisted in prosecuting theswindlera

Tom Taggart Once Ran
a Depot Lunch Counter

st. Louis, July 6.-Thomss Tag
CART of Indianapolis is one OF the
big figures at the national Demo-
cratic convention. Taggsrt, who is
q candidate for national chairman,
claims to have enough votes to elect
him.
Less than twenty years ago Thos
Tsggart was the keeper OF sanwich
counter In the union railway station
in Indianapolis. Early in life he
achieved a wide reputation for his
gracious smile. Tsggart's smile is
no doubt responsible for his remark
able SUCCESS In life. He was twice
elected mayor Of Indianapolis.
"Tom" Tsggart, as he is best
known, holds the Indiana Democracy
in the palm OF his hand. When vii.
liam R. Hearst attempted to get a
few delegates in this state he found
Tsggsrt invincible.
Taggart owns the Indianapolis
Daily Sentinel, the Democratic organ
OF the state, and spends several
hours each day in the office Of thnt
newspaper. He is also owner of o
big hotel at Indianapolis and is pro
prietor Of the finest hotel at French
Lick Springs. He is the owner o
several valuable mineral wells. 4
ia It not generally known about Tag
CART is that he is easily worth 81,
100000.
| He is tireless worker and can b
seen almost any morning on til
streets as early az g o'clock, II
never seems wearied-always fires
and smiling. He probably know
more people than any other man |

Revenge.

Owingsville, KY, July s.-A few
days ago, when John Murrell and
Blue Pucket met In front Of the post
office at the village Of Iron Noun
tain, in the mountains Of Estill coun-
ty, Kentucky, and with Q shotgun
and revolver shot the life out OF each
other, there persisted in Murrell the
last surviving relative, II is said, of
John 4. Murrell, the noted outlaw.
In the pioneer days Murrell iniest'
ed that section Of Kentucky Nelson
county, and had for his partners
Bliss McCabe, Mason and the two
Harpes, big" and "Little," as they
we're known. These Ave men were as
bloodthirsty gang as ever threw
their lots together in any part OF the
world. No crime was too foul for
them to commit. The sheriffs OF the
counties In which they roamed had a
dangerous duty to perform in at
tempting to drive them away orinto
Jail, and several OF the officials were
killed while attempting to perform
this task.
In the eastern part OF Nelson eoun.
ty in Il lonely spot, in the early part
of the late century, was tavern
kept by a man named Harris. The
house was built OF logs, and was
very large building, made up oimany
additions, hooks and angles. The
place was reputed to be the rendez
vous of the outlaws. 1t was sale
