The New York Sun III COM
menting on the Nan Patterson
trial says 1.-THE evidence against
the Patterson woman was wholly
circumstantial. Nothing more
than a hypothesis of guilt was es-
tablished by the state. Undoubt-
eddy it was a strong hypothesis,
but. after all, it was metaphysical
rather than based on proved facts
pointing to guilt beyond any rea-
sonable doubt, though it caused
the presumption of. guilt which
caused the disagreement Of the
Jury. She will now go free. IN all
probability, yet a conviction OF
her guilt of the murder 'of her par
amour remains in the public mind.
though unquestionably the prose
cution did not establish it by evil
dence beyond reasonable doubt, as
required by the law

growing at the rate of 100000 a

duty of every citizen of Sisters

VETERANS DECIDE
 TO ENTER PARADE
MEETING OF THOSE WHO EN- LISTED DURING THE SPANISH AMERICAN WAR WILL BE HELD SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

At meeting of the officers in Jefferson county of the Spanish-Amerlcan war last night at the armory, it was decided to call a meeting of all the veterans of the Spanish American war Sunday afternoon, to arrange for taking part in the parade Tuesday in honor of President Roose- welt.
 The meeting was presided over by Col. E. L. Higdon. and pr. Byron Dozier act ed as secretary. A resolution was passed extending an invitation to every Spanish American war veteran to take part In the parade. The Invitation only includes the veterans who have uniforms, and who will wear them on that day. Those not having uniforms are asked to march in the ranks of the various civic organizations.
 There are several hundred Spanish American veterans in Jefferson county, and the captains or next ranking officers of the various companies will be asked 10 issue orders assembling the companies next Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock to take part in honoring President Roose- welt.
 Gen. Louis V. Clarke, grand marshal of the pHTdue, HdS llOilneu tie Dpdiish- American veterans that they would be given q position in the line of march d. rectIy in front of President Roosevelt s carriage.
 Colonel Higdon. in addressing the of- ficers last night. stated that he hoped the day would come when the Spanish American war veterans would come to- gether in reunions like the Confederate veterans.
 Ut is true that there is very little enthusiasm among the Spanish American veterans at the present time, but hope that as the years pass we will appreciate more keeny the part we contributed to the country during the war of 1898. While we did no fighting, we were ready and eager to take some part in the little scrap I hope that we will make a permanent in- stitution of our reunions"

 In regard to Birmingham MT. Brown was enthusiastic. At the Hotel Hillman last night he said:
 "Of course l think Birmingham IS great place, one of the greatest cities Of it's size in the world and decidedly the best in the south. It has the iron and coal deposits which will last for ages to come. and these are constantly being developed and new fields opened.
 Five years from now Birmingham Will have population of at least SbOooo and ten to fifteen years from now it will be the biggest city south of the Ohio river. In many respects it Is the biggest city south of the Ohio river at present. but | mean that 1t will be the biggest In every, way within the next fifteen years
 "The city has shown wonderful ad- vancement since I was here last time and from what I hear its advancement within the next five years will be even greater than during the past five years. There is no doubt about the future great ness of Birmingham"

 OF OVER I2,OOO PEOPLE

The carriers have finished the eollec- ton of these slips and as soon as Assist ant Postmaster Blakemore and Chief Clerk Griffin can finish compiling the census. It will be made public. The task is difficult one, and it requires time to oonv the figures from the slips to the ,oroa sheets from which the total is to be obtained.

WHY DOES
A BABY CRYi

Because it is either hun- gry or in pain. Properly nourished it will usually grow up right and be comfortable that's the principal thing for a baby. If its food lacks strength and nourishment add Scott's Emulsion at feed- ing time. A few drops will show surprising results. Ii a baby is plump it is reason ably safe.
