JUDGE MiIIer's CHARGE.

jackson, Miss, Sept. 5. In or
ganizing the Kinds County Cir
cult Court here this morning,
Judge Miller delivered a charge
to his grand jury which made con-
siderable impression upon the
audience in the courtroom as well
as upon the jurymen. The Judge
took occasion to congratulate the
county Of Kinds upon the remark
able record it had made during
the past six months for peace and
order, and especially noted the
fact that the county had escaped
from the carnival of crime
which has been sweeping over the
State since the first day of the new
year. He said that while Kinds
had maze a better record in its
immunity from the crime of muir
der than many other counties in
the State, it was nevertheless a
fact that murder had been lam
pant throughout the State recent
II.
There has, he said, been a
carnival of crime throughout the
State of Mississippi during the
year. took accession to Keep ac-
count of the number of murders
from Jan. to April Is Of this
year, and found that there had
been 200 men killed in our State, !"
He said he had reason to be-
lieve that the same ratio had been
kept up since the 18th Of April
and added: We lead the list of
States in murders, regardless of
population. = In deploring this
condition, Judge Miller said that
no people could continue prosper
Gus under such circumstances. In
searching for the cause of this
condition, be told the jury that,
in his opinion, it was generally
due to the fact that money was
plentiful among the class who do
not know how to use money, and
that it was the abuse of money
and Of prosperity. Negroes, be
said, with more money than their
necessities require, spend it In
gambling and in buying whisky
and carousing. The price of me-
gro labor has never been so high
as now, and the negro feels that
his boss will protect him. He
feels that he can kill another me-
gro with impunity because his
boss needs his labor, and will help
him out of the trouble. The
Judge admonished the jury to be
thorough in their investigation
of the gambling evil and said that
the large percentage of murders
and crimes of similar nature
among the negroes was due in
main to the crap table, which be
believed to be responsible fol
most killings.
j. NJ. Gray, merchant, and
one of the oldest and most sub
.stantial citizens Of the city, was
made foreman Of the jury and it
retired to its quarters to get down

Iowa Buttermakers

Iowa buttermakers who are com
peting in the nationwide contest for
the worlds fair banner for the sweet
est, completest product OF the dairy
and the creamery have reason to feel
encouraged, according to Assistant
State Dairy Com. Kieffer, who is here
assembling the second set of sam
pies from the various parts of the
state. A few weeks since Mr.. Kieffer
received 50 samples of butter from
various parts Of the state, and the
result of the markings by the scorers
is highly creditable to the butter
makers of Iowa, the average being
96 per cent out Of a possible 100 per
cent. About the same number of
samples is being received today
from the various counties of the
state over the three express lines
passing through Waterloo. These
samples will be assembled in a re-
frigerator car in the Illinois Central
yards and will be shipped tomorrow
noon to the worlds fair city in
charge Of Nh. Kieffer 1t is rather
strange that among the no samples
from Iowa, not one has been sent
from Blackhawk county, although
tubs have been entered from the
counties surrounding this. The
buttermaker at Dixie entered sam
pie in the previous contest and re-
ceived a marking of 81 per cent.
which is considered very high. The
samples from Delaware county also
received good markingsas did many
from other parts Of the state.
The butter exhibit from Iowa is
one of the greatest attractions of the
fair. The first creamery ever built
in the world was built at Manches-
ter in Delaware countysand it is re-
produced in model-folm in butter
and the builder, Mr.. Stewart. is
also fashioned in this rich product

TOOK A BABY LION.
Fitzsimmons Placed I'm Jail on Charge
of Grand Larceny.

New York, July 15.-Robert Fitz-
simmons was arrested late Thursday
at the Brighton Beach race track on
a charge of grand larceny, preferred
by an animal trainer now showing at
Coney island, who accuses the pugilist
of stealing a $500 baby lion from his
m enagerie last Sunday night.
Captain Dooley, fearing that the
prize fighter would offer resistance to
arrest, sent four detectives after him.
Bob was In the betting shed when the
officers surrounded him, and before
they told him that he was under
arrest they informed him that they
were four to his one and that he had

natured Fitzsimmons. "I won't hurt
you. Come along. Take me over to
the station" They took him over to
the Coney island station, where he was
locked up, the sergeant being unable
to accept bail or case where a fell
ony is alleged. Martin Rauscher Of
fered any amount of bail, but he waa
told that he would have to get Judge
to accept it.
When Fftzsimmons, who told the
police sergeant he was AZ years old,
heard the animal man was making
an awful fuss about the missing baby
lion, he took it from his home in Ben
sonhurt and met the owner in front
of his arena. The two men got in a.
quarrel, and the man of lions said he
did not give a continental II Fftzsim-
ing to take a swat at him. Men came
between them, and Fitzsimmons took
the lion away and said he would keep
it. He sent it back to his home and
went to the races himself. Then
came the charge of grand larceny.

TEXAS ROADS SUED.
Trainmen Bring Action for Damages
Against Companies.

Galveston, Tex, July 15.-The rail-
way employees organizations have
combined to enforce the Sixteen
hour" law enacted by the last leg
islature, and which became effective
thirty days ago. Suits for penalties
aggregating many thousands of dollars
are to be filed in the name of the
state against the railroads, the first
having been filed here today against
the Southern Pacific by a freight train
crew who declare they were compelled
to work for twenty-three consecutive
hours and after four hours rest were
returned to work again. The law for
bids the working of trainmen more
than sixteen consecutive hours and
provides eight hours rest out of every
twenty-four. Penalties ranging from
500 to $1,000 are provided and
long list of complaints has been COM
piled against nearly every road in the
state. All of the brotherhoods and
employees unions are represented in
the movement and simultaneously
suits will be entered in various coun-
ties of the state.
While the suits are filed in the
name of the state and by county and
district attorneys, the railway organi-
cations have retained the best legal
talent to prosecute the cases. The
railroads have sent representatives to
the trainmen's counsel in an attempt
to compromise the movement and
Quash the complaints, but all offers
have been refused.

Figures Given Out by Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Washington, D. c., July 14.-The
interstate commerce commission has
announced its statistics of railways in
the United States for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1908. They show that
the par value of the railway capital
then outstanding was $12, 500, 990,25S,
which represents a capitalization of
$63,1S6 per mile.
The number of passengers carried
was 694,S91,535, an increase of 49,
0S3,03O over the previous year; freight
carried, 1904, 394,3 23 tons, an increase
of 1O4, O7S,53 tons.
The gross earnings from the opera
ton of the total of 205,313 miles of
railway line. which is the aggregate
single track mileage, were $780,
$40, 907, an increase of STA, 1885, $40;
operating expenses, $1,257,53S,852, an
increase of 1,290,105; net earnings,

RAILROAD INFRINGEMENT.
Reductions in Expenditures Proposed
on All Lines.

Reductions in Expenditures Proposed
on All Lines.
| Reduction in railroad expenditures
has been going on for some time,
| and there is still more to come. Some
idea of what effect these reductions
have on the general prosperity of the
country may be had from a, glance at
the figures involved.
| Ever since the Industrial revival be-
gan in 1898 its main strength has been
the demand from the railroads. In
six years, from 1898 to 1902, the an
| nual expenses of American railroads
increased more than 100000. Dur
ing the same period the average an
was spent upon improvements was
100000, representing the approx
innate increase of this item over the
figures of the six years preceding 1898.
The construction expenditures of tn e
railroads were also enormous. This
is shown by the fact that the cost of
road and equipment, representing the
amount spent upon extensions, i'm
charged to capital account, increased
during the period above mentioned
5000, 100000, or an average of $101,-
100000 per year.
There should also be included the
increased payments of the railroads
on account of interest, rentals and div
idends, amounting, from 1898 to 1908,
to $92,900,000. Much of this was
railway field, and contributed to in
crease the demands upon manufactur-
ing and mining industry.
It is safe t. estimate the increase
in the annual demand for products
from 1898 to 1902, including in this
sum the amount paid out by the rail-
roads on account of wages, at about
$676, 100000.
The loss of even 10 or 20 per cent
of this sum is serious matter to the
producers of the country, and it is
likely that the outlay of the railroads
will be reduced during the present
year much more than these moderate
percentages. A reduction of 10 per
cent in wages is certain, and this will
account for a falling off of SCI, 100000
in the demand for the products of
the factory and the farm. 1t is also
safe to assume a reduction in capital
outlay of at least so per cent, which
would cut off $S2,50O,000 more from
the available demand. Here is a re-
duction in the sum which figures upon
the order books of the merchants,
manufacturers and miners of the
United States of at least $3.50, 100000
in a single year. The curtailment
in these expenditures will probably be
much larger than this sum.

Pontoon Boat Bridge.

Concordia, Kan, July 15.-The recent
high water in the Republican river
widened the channel so much at the
pontoon bridge that it has been found
necessary to extend the bridge by the
addition of from ten to twelve boats,
and they are now being built. The ex-
pense of the work will be met by the
business men, the city and county both
refusing to do the work. The new
bridge over the river will be completed
in about six weeks, If conditions con-
tinue favorable. 1t will also be neces-
sary to bridge a channel cut this side
of the new bridge since the contract
was let for the latter.
