Judge Gage has decided that a
married woman has a legal right to
sell her dowery in the realty of her
husband during bis life. This is a
radical decision, and if sfirmed by
the Supreme Court will be fruitful
cause of much confusion and a great
deal OF litigation. But then, come
to think of it, the lawyers must be
provided for even if more circuits
have to be created.

Johnnie @. Seastrunk, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Sam Seastrunk, was born
February 13, 1883, and departed this
life July 6, 1905, making his stay on
earth II years, 4 months and % days
He was good and obedient and
loving son. He bore his sickness
and suffering with patience and
resignation trusting in Gods help to
lead him safely through the dark val
ley of the shadow of death into the
marvellous light of that beautiful
land that is fsirer than day, and look
ed with hopeful anticipation to the
time of his departure without fear
without fear of death, for his faith
was firmly anchored upon the Rock
of Ages.
Jesus thy blood and righteousness,
My beauty are ~ glorious dress,
Midst flaming worlds in these arrayed.
Bold shall stand in thy great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay,
Fully through thee absolved am
From sin and fear of guilt and shame.
This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years,
No age can change it's constant hue,
Thy blood preserves it ever new.
Oh! let the dead now hear thy voice,
Now bid thy banished ones rejoice,
Their beauty this their glorious dress,
Jesus thy blood and righteousness,
When from the dust Of death I rise,
To claim my mansion in the skies,
Even then this shall be all my plea,
Jesus hath lived and died for me.
His last words were Faith in Je.
sus." My darling boy is at rest.

who charged President Mitchell with
having sold out to the operators dur

expelled from the organization during
the day by the national convention.

statement which was marked by an
absence of the abuse of President Nit

day. President Mitchell replied to him
and demanded that either himself or
Randall should not be in the conven-
tion. In his statement President Nit
chell said:

KOCH JURY FAILS To AGREE
NO VERDICT RENDERED IN SEN.
SATIoNAl NEW ULM (MINN.)
MURDER TRIAL.

New Ulm, Mimi, Jan. 21.--Dr
George r. Koch must stand another
trial for the alleged murder of DR.. l.
A. Gebhardt.
The jury, after being out forty-one
hours. came into court at 9:40 a. m
and announced its inability to agree
upon verdict. Judge Webber there
upon discharged the jury.
Not since the twelve men retired to
deliberate on the case has the jury
indicated a desire for further instruc.
ton from the court nor has a single
word leaked from the juryroom to in
dicate how the members stood on the
question of conviction or innocence.
AS near as can be ascertained the
jury stood nine for acquittal and three
for conviction.
At IL O'Clock the attorneys for the
defendant addressed the court upon
the matter of new trial. l.. L. Brown
moved that the court proceed imme-
diately to a new trial, but Judge Web
ber stated that it never had been his
custom to order a second trial of the
same cause at the same term of court.
He denied the motion. Mr.. Brown
then moved that the case be tried at
the adjourned session not later than
Feb. /. This also was denied. At this
point General Childs announced that
the state would later move for a
change of venue.

RANKS or STRIKERS AT ST. Pc

THOUSANDS.
MANY INDUSTRIES FORCED TO CLOSE
BIG DELEGATIONS OF STRIKERS
VISIT SHOPS AND COMPEL
SUSPENSION.

st. Petersburg, Jan Employees
of the Sangalli & KolInkin spinning
mill ceased work during the day and
considerable further accessions to the
ranks of the strikers are expected in
the course of the day. The men al
ready out in pursuance of the plan tc
enforce a general strike are parading
the streets of the. Basil Island district,
compelling workshops, printing works
and small shopkeepers to close. They
have broken into several factories and
into the printing works of the Acad-
emy of Science, forcing the employees
to join them The management of the
printing works, which is a government
establishment, acting on the advice of
the police, agreed to the men giving
up work SO as to avoid disturbance.
As the day progressed the ranks of
the strikers were rapidly augmented.
Delegations each 200 strong visited all
the factories and printing shops,
threatening to compel cessation of
work unless the employees voluntarily
Joined in the strike.
Practically all the small establish
ments in st. Petersburg are already
closed in response to the demands of
the strikers, while the printing works
and tobacco factories are following
suit. One of the deputetions of strik-
ers visited the Office of recently es-
tablished news agency and informed
the printers that unless they joined the
movement the building would be
wrecked. The printers, numbering
about 100. promptly quit work and the
agency is now sending out it's news in
stencilled sheets instead of printed.
The troops have been called out.
Situation Becoming Serious.
A detachment of the Moscow regi-
ment was called out during the after
noon owing to the threatening attitude
of 500 strikers at ShapchaPs tobacco
factory. The employees of the factory
decided to join in the strike move
ment, but the military did not inter
vene and returned to their barracks.
The factory was closed. The crowd
then proceeded to a bookbinding es-
tablishment, where the employees also
Joined In the movement.
The strikers are freely making
threats of violence. The police do not
interfere, but in any case they would
not be capable of controlling the agi-
tation In the proportions it has at
tanned. Troops are held in readiness
at various points for any emergencies.
Reports from the interior are to the
effect that efforts are being made to
induce workmen in other cities to join
and make the strike general through
out Russia.
The managers of the big concerns
here have formally decided to refuse
to treat with any persons except theii
own workmen.
The printing establishments and the
newspapers may be forced to suspend
publication. The greatest danger lies
In the possible shutting down of the
electric plant, which would throw the
city into darkness, when a reign of
terror might ensue. There is general
fear that the strike has entered a po-
litical phase and that turbulence and
bloodshed are inevitable
Over hundred thousand are now
