BUTLER FREE.
Only Two Jurors Held Out for
Conviction and they We're
Won Over Easily.

Fulton, Mo, Feb. 6 Edward But
Ter, the st Louis "boss" was acquit-
ted to-day of the charge OF bribing
nineteen members of the ST. Louis
house of delegates with $4,000 to
secure a lighting contract, by jury
Of twelve Galloway county citizens,
The jury returned a verdict this
morning which read:
"We, the jury, find the defendant
not guilty"
The jury sent for Judge Graves at
exactly 10 o'clock. The verdict was
read by him. With a wild whoop a
dozen OF the Butler followers dashed
out of the room and down into the
street. Butler stepped quickly from
his place and shook hands with the
foreman, Rosser. Then he walked
down the line OF jurors quickly, shak-
ing hands with each of them. Butler
was himself again in an instant. The
old man was fairly laughing and his
followers could hardly find ways
enough to express their satisfaction
with the result.
When Butler finished shaking hands
with the jury and Others in the crowd
he turned around to his son, Eddie
| jr., the big blacksmith. There were
tears in the old mans eyes, and the
young man could hardly speak, but
he grabbed his 70 ther and kissed him.
A few minutes later, in Alexander's
drugstore, Congressman "Jim" But
Ter walked up to his fatherand patted
him on the breast. 'I'm 80 glad,
Daddy; I'm so glad, Daddy" he said,
and then he, too, reached over and
kissed the old man. The hard, fierce
features Of the old man relaxed when
his big boys, huge, powerful men like
himself. danced around him like chill
dren. Mrs Butler, his wife, served
noti'e that she would keep the old
man out of politics as long as they
both live.
This probably ends Buffers trou-
bles, as the information filed against
him at Columbia is defective and the
statute of limitations has run in his
favor in any other transaction he
may have had with the 1899 house
OF delegates. As soon as the excite
ment began to die down Butler said
to the correspondent of the Star:
81 expected to be acquitted. !

DECLARES THE SOUTH
MUST DEAL WITH
NEGRO PROBLEM
Rev. Father Sherman Asserts
He is Ashamed of Recon-
structi0n Period.

Chicago, ILL.,, February 5.-Father
Thomas Z Sherman, son OF the late
Gen. W. T. Sherman. to day said that
the north would better busy itself
with labor troubles and let the south
deal with the negro problem.
The reconstruction period is the
one chapter in American history OF
which from beginning to end, | am
ashamed" said Father Sherman,
while addressing the Danes OF the
Loyal Legion upon "The Causes and
Results OF the Civil War" to-day at
the Grand Pacific hotel. He was
speaking with special reference to the
negro problem and he called the re-
construction policy gigantic blum
der. Continuing, he said:
To place the negro in political con-
troll in the south after the war was
to give up command OF an army to
the rank and file. The north owes a
great debt to Henry Grady and
Henry Watterson for having called
attention by their eloquence to this
great wrong OF the south. and a
greater debt tn Booker T. Washing
ton, who has pointed the right way
to the solution OF the negro problem.
Let the negro learn to labor; let him
realize that there are social inequali.
ties. Then let the American people
desert that fetish OF education and
teach the negro to pillow, to serve
for service is not degrading, though
slavery is. Then let US here in the
north leave the negro to the people
OF the south, who know him."

The political situation in the state
is rapidly clearing up. The Demo-

JUDGE WALLER ". GRAVES.

The papers speak in the highest
terms of praise of Judge Graves rul-
ings in the Butler case at Fulton last
week. In overruling the defenses'
demurrer to the indictment he show
ed a thorough familiarity with all the
cases cited by the attorneys on both
sides and pointed out many cases
bearing directly on this cases which
had been overlooked by the lawyers.
In passing on the demurrer to thein-
sufficiency of the states evidence,
Judge Graves, after sending the jury
from the room, made a mastery
summing up the evidence, showing
conclusively Buffers connection with
the bribery deal and ended by saying
thatit would be a travesty oniustice
to take the case from the jury at
that stage. His instructions we're
strong, forceiul and fair to both the
state and defense. The Kansas City
Star, a rsbid Republican paper, said
II Butler was convicted the supreme
court would not have a single point
on which to reverse the case. Italso
complimented Judge Graves by say
ing that during his five years on the
bsngsch he had never been reversed
in criminal case. Enthusiastic ad-
mirersiron every section OF the state
are urgently Judge Graves to be-
come a candidate for Supreme Judge
this year. But he has decided to
stand for denomination to the circuit
bench. We do not believe he will
have any opposition in this ambi-
ton. Those who know him best and
are watching his course, do not
doubt that he will be elected to the
Supreme bench at no distant day,
