VERIFY A SOLOMON.

Out west somewhere there is a Solo
mon He is a magistrate OF some
grade and the other day man who
had choked his wife into insensibility
was hailed before him for trial.
Calling a husky officer. the judge in
.strncted that muscular minion of the
law to sieze and choke the prisoner
in the same manner that the prisoner
had seized and choked his wife.
The court explained that this was
not intended as punishment, but mere
iy as a demonstration Of how the deed
was done. and purely for the enlight-
eminent of the court.
The culprit was about half dead
when the policeman got through with
the demonstration and then the Judge
sent him to jail for thirty days to
think it over The suggestion is wor-
thy of consideration on the part Of
Cairo jurists

change its rule regarding the giving
out of baseball and other news at
night. With view to obliging the
public the custom was started with
the change of management and up to
the present time any information re.
garding political events, baseball
scores and other interesting news has
been cheerfully impaired to readers
of the newspaper and It's friends who
visited the office or called over the
telephone. Il has been found. how
ever. an impossibility 10 do this ow-
ing to the amount Of time required and
especially as the calls have generally
come during the busiest part of the
night
Publishing a morning newspaper
with the amount of news furnished
Bulletin readers is strenuous work
and aside from the time taken In ans
wering numerous Inquiries the inter
ruptions in themselves mean much
more than is generally appreciated
The Bulletin is no. chary of its
news and has no disposition 20 be dis
obliging and it is solely for the rea-
son stated that Il asks its friends to
wait for the regular edition to learn
Of the events il chronicles.

many on account of his methods and

The law and order-loving people OF
Memphis are rising up in indignant
protest against municipal failure 70
enforce the law in that wide-open
town. The killing of two deputy sher-
IFS, one a white man and the other a
negro. by some gamblers who resisted
the raiding of their den by the Off
GERS, was the occasion for renewed
effort upon the part of citizens TO
bring about reform in the admins
tration of city affairs This movement
seems 10 have such force as will be
effective in causing change. When
the people get really in earnest and
become determined to assert them
selves, something has to be done TO
meet their demands.

Santos Dumont sends word from
France that he will not return 10 this
country to compete in the air ship
races. 1t is fact that the noted
aeronaut has had sufficient excuse
for feeling as he apparently does and
it is all the more to be regretted on
that account that circumstances
evolved such an unfortunate situation.
The charges by the jefferson guards
to the effect that NJ Santos-Dumont
wrecked his ship himself are too alb
surd to be taken seriously. but there
is no doubt but that the celebrated
has so considered them.
Be the facts as they may the expost
ton has lost a stellar attraction in
more ways than one.
