Flogging, in public and otherwise, is
not of medieval origin. In the middle
ages ridicule and not physical suffering
was the means employed for the cor
rection of wrongdoing; hence the pill
lory, the stocks and the thewe-a chair
suspended high over the heads of the
crowd, In which women, generally
scolds, were brought to sweet rea-
sonableness-but the whipping post be-
longs to the Tudor age. The Eliza
bethan servant question was met by
fogging girls for idleness on Sunday
morning. But it was in the Hanove-
rian period that Jogging was carried
to excess. AS late as 1904 six women
were publicly f1ogged in Gloucester,
England, because they had been found
begging.

SCHIFF PRFDICTS
 BUSINESS PANIC

New York, Jan. 5--Jacob H. Schiff in a speech last night predicted that tremendous financial panic will soon sweep over the country unless Con- gress makes certain reforms in the currency. He opposed Secretary Shaw's plans for expansion of the bank currency but said that the currency must be kept in circulation and con centrated where it is most needed.
 This is understood as a bid for relief for the stock market by the secretary of the treasury through the deposit of large reserve funds in the New York depositary banks. The speech has hurt the market and many securities were lower today.

 Boise, Idaho, Jan. 1-Delayed Tn cable transmission-Former Governor Frank Steuenenberg of this state ""S assassiuated by the explosion or dyna- mite bombs in his back yard at Calu- we'll last Saturday night as he entered to reach his house. Wire fish lines were used to explode the bombs Dy electrica current as Gov. Steuenenberg passed through the back gate. De- tectives have traced the line from the gate to the spot near by where the as sassins lay in ambush.
 Shoshone county officials have offered q reward of$lO, ,OO0 for the apprehension and conviction of the assassins. While suspicion rests upon certain men no tangible proof has yet been obtained.
 Gov. Goodmg, the present executive of Idaho, declares that the assassination was accomplished by plot laid in the Inner circle of Occur d'Alene dyna- miters. When Steuenenberg was governor of Idaho he broke up the law less gangs which ruled the Occur d. Alene mining district by terrorism, and in that way incurred their bitter enmity. Many of the leaders were run out of country but q majority of their followers remained and are still work ing in the mines there.
 Caldwell, Idaho, Jan. 3. - M. J.. Hogan was arrested today upon the charge of complicity in the murder of ex-Gov Steuenenberg. He has been partially identified as one of the men who were confined in the bull-pen dur ing the famous Occur d'Alene strike and has been around this city for some days.
 Boise, Idaho, Jan. 4-Police officers here and at Caldwell believe that Harry Orchard, or Hogan, arrested on the charge of being implicated in the assassination of EX-Gov.

He was an active figure in the Occur d'Alene riots and there was known as Hogan, tba name hp UiyeS now
 The police are sweating the suspect but so far have obtained no admissions from him.
 Denver, Jan, 5-Harry Orchard, held at Caldwell, Idaho, upon the charge of complicity in the murder of Ex-Gov. Stueuenberg with dynamite bombs, is wanted at Cripple Creek, where he has long been suspected of responsibility for, the Independence mine explosion which resulted in the death of four teen miners on June 6, 1904. Orchard disappeared after the dynamiting of the mine and had not since heen heard of in Colorado.

 Albany, N. Y. Jan. A big fight is brewing here over general demand for the resignation of Chauncey NJ Depew from his seat in the U. $.

After a heated de- bate Bracket was allowed to with draw his resolution, by vote of ? to l9.
