Rose culture may be said to be To-
Gated near the apex of commercial
horticulture because of the refine
ment of the product, the high prices
which excellence commands in the
open market and the exceeding skill
and intelligence required for the best
results says the Massachusetts
PIoughman. Some of the best horti>
cultural talent in the country is be-
ing devoted to production OF new
varieties of roses, and the rewards
of success In that line are very con-
siderable.
1t was a lucky day for Canada
when, mainly through the efforts OF
the late William McDougall, the vast
area of territory belonging to the
Hudson Bay Company was added to
the Dominion at an expense OF only
81. 500. 900. Today that territory has a
population of 100000. Its agricultural
and other products this year are oh
cially valued at more than $10O,00o,'

RANGERS In CONTROL
Everything Quiet in Texas Town
Where Tragedy Occurred.

Hampstead, Texas, Apri 25.-The
town today is in control of the rang
ers. 1t is not thought that there will
be recurrence of the trouble that last
night cost Congressman Pinckney and
three other men their lives.
Adjutant General Hulen permits no
one to bear arms except peace officers.
Roland Brown, the wounded man,
was today placed under arrest on the
charge of murder. He admits that he
shot Congressman PinclIney, but al
leges that Mr.. Pinckney was then fir
ing at III. M. Brown. his father, who
was killed. This assertion is not borne
out by the statements OF others. Young
Brown is at his home under the guard
of a ranger. Two surgeons are in at
tendance.
County Judge Harvey, son-in-law of
H. M. Brown, states that he asked sew
eral days ago for rangers to preserve
the peace and keep down the trouble,
but that his request was not granted.
The funerals of Congressman ]. M.
Pinckney and Tom Pinckney, his
brother, will take place tomorrow af-
ternoon. The funeral of John e, Mills
will be held later in the day. and H. M
Brown will be buried on Thursday.
An examination of the weapons
shows that Mills and j. M. Pinckney
had no guns; that Tom Pinckney emp
tied his gun; that Roland Browns pis'
tol had three empty chambers, and
that II. M. Browns gun had two empty
shells and four cartridges which hat
been snapped without exploding.

THE SAUSAGES

TO GET AT THE INSIDE.
Manager Of the "Skin" End Of the
Affair Said to Have Re-
turned Home.

Chicago, April 25.-Gustav Freund,
Chicago manager for Oppenheimer &
Co, sausage casing manufacturers, re-
turned to Chicago this morning with
his family.
Several weeks ago, when it was
learned publicly that the grand jury
was to investigate the Etna Trading
Co., it is said that Freund left Chicago.
Government secret service men learned
that he had gone to Canada with his
family and was living at the Windsor
Montreal
1t was announced by his relatives
today that private detectives are in
vestigating the theft of papers from
the home of Mr.. Freund and the return
of them later, with the hope. of proving
that secret service men employed by
the government inspired the burglary
and returned the papers when 1t was
learned that nothing of value in the
light of evidence was found in the box.
District Attorney Morrison and other
Federal officials pronounced the idea
absurd.
Among the witnesses who appeared
in the grand jury witness room today
was Mrs. Mary e. Marcy, the Ste
nographer from Kansas City, who fur
nished the government with material
she gathered from packers to be used
in a magazine article. She did not
testify. but was instructed to report
daily until the grand jury is ready to
hear her. Mrs. Marcy was formerly
employed as secretary and stenog-
rapher at the University of Chicago,
having left there about a year ago.
She was employed by several of the
packing house firms in Kansas city.
She has been quite prominent in so
ciaiistic circles and mas written fire.
Guently for magazines on her favorite
subject District Attorney Morrison
admits she is one of the most impor-
tant witnesses yet secured by the gov
ernment.

SMITH CRAZY?
What Trained Nurse Thinks Of Nan
Pattsrson's Brother.in-Law.

Marinette, Mich, April 25.-J. Nor
gan Smith, the brother-in-law of Nan
Patterson and the man long wanted
and only lately secured by the New
York police for completely in the Cae-
sar Young murder case, is insane ac-
cording to the belief of Miss Harrist
Johnson OF Menominee, who is a
trained nurse in that city.
Miss Johnson received her training
as nurse at the Phelps sanitarium
at Battle Creek, Mich, and it was there
that she saw a man she believes was
]. Morgan Smith. He was brought
there by his wife, the sister of Nan
Patterson, to have his mind treated.
He had beenTmarried just four months
then, and it was'only about six months
before the murder that he came tc the
sanitarium for treatment, and there
Miss Johnson, in her capacity OF nurse,
saw much of him. Smith was more
of an imbecile than maniac, most OF
the time. He thought the world OF
his wife, and treated her as though he
were some big boy taking care OF a
child
There were times when he was ra-
tional, but they were few. He would
play croquet by the hour, and when
he made lucky strike he would laugh
and shout so that he could be heard
for blocks. He was attended at all
times by his wife and man attendant,
and there were times when he would
be violent
For four months he remained in the
Phelps institution. and then the city
authorities enforced his removal. This
was lust about two months before the
murder of Young, and at that time he
was crazy. The physicians who exam
ined him declared him insane, and
therefore not safe patient at Phelps
and he was removed.

SENATOR SUSPENDED
Indicted Three Times For Accepting
Money For Influence.

Madison, Wis, April 25. Senator
Barney A. Eaton of Milwaukee In
dicted three times by the grand jury
Of Milwaukee county on the charge
of accepting and soliciting money to
influence his official action, was sus.
pended from the state senate today
until January /, 1906.
He was found guilty of contempt by
vote of 2G to 2 and was suspended
by vote of 23 to s. The resolution
TO eXpel him failed of the necessary
two-third vote, the roll call showing
only sixteen for expulsion and eleven
against.
The proceedings which occupied al
most the entire legislative day, did
not go into the merits of the two re
naming indictments against Eaton.
The senate found him guilty OF con-
tempt introducing testimony at his
first bribery trial which tended to re-
fleet upon the integrity OF the senate
and the methods pursued in passing
legislation. .''- t...
Eaton was recently tried in MilwaU.
kee on the charge Of accepting bribc
to influence legislation. He testified
that most laws were gotten through
tho senate by the use of money. He
was acquitted but there are still two
indictments against him.
The suspension is equivalent to ex.
pulsion because he is a hold-over sen.
ator and his term expires at the be,
ginning of the next session.
