ScRUPLES OF ONE JUROR.
Reason for Being Opposed to Capital
Punishment Explained to Court.

A group of eminent southern law
yers occupied chairs in the Raleigh
and it was worth any mans while to
hear their stories of courthouse cpl
sodes in Dixie. After Colonel John
Allen and Judge Charlie Stuart, OF
Muscogee, and Colonel Edward l..
Russell of Mobile had each narrated
some funny yarns Judge Jim" Mel
vile of Gulfport Miss, one of the
most successful lawyers of his state,
recounted this one.
Some years ago while was on the
bench there came up for trial muir
der case of more than usual interest
A great deal of difficulty was had IL
trying to get jury, man after man
being told to stand aside, mainly for
the reason that ne had already formed
an opinion or that he was opposed to
the infection OF capital punishment.
So many of them made this last ex-
cuse that l got trifie irritated ana
came to the conclusion that it was
merely a dodge to avoid jury service.
FINALLY long, lank specimen of a
countryman was called upon for exam
ination as to his fitness as a juror.
When asked the regulation questions
he replied that he was opposed to
capital punishment. Looking at him
sternly and in tones somewhat sugges-
tive of wrath / asked the fellow if he
did not think there were conditions so
extraordinary as to warrant the hang
ing of the offender He said he did
not believe anything could make him
assent to such verdict and l impa-
tiently waved him aside and called
for a new man.
But will your honor let me ex-
plain, said the disqualified citizen
I'd like to give the court my reasons.
L don't wish to hear any, explana-
ton from you. Go and sit down.
SO Excuse me- judge, but you
must hear my reason
"Well, then, give it and go along
with you
The reason | am opposed to cap
ital punishment, your honor, is that
my old nanny taught me it were a
sin to kill anything that wasn't fitten
to eat Washington Post.

Canada Are Powerful.
A recent number Of the Winnipeg

Just now there is a keener interest
than ever before on the part of the

been such rush of immigration, and
the amount of information distributed

In the majority of the States of the
Union and in Great Britain the oppor-

achieving of even q modest competence
are at the best limited Moreover, ac-
cording to the social and Industrial con-

the future holds out no promise of bet

energetic young men should turn their
eyes to Canada's great wheat belt,
where every man can pursue fortune
without the hindrance of any discour-
aging handicap.
THE inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
in progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably GER

country and its residents. The prom

The Canadian West is alive with OPP

Some Of the eager young fellows, who
arrive on the prairies daily, are des-

The Union Pacific, it is now admitted
will have new superintendent of motive
power and machinery, w. II. Mckeen, Jr,
present incumbent of that important posi-
ton and inventor of the motor car which be-
came a startling success from the very first
and promises so much toward the revolution
izing of railroad transportation, will be
head OF the motor car shops whenever and
wherever they are built. This much is
generally conceded.
When Mr.. McKeen will drop his present
work. who his successor will be, where
the new shops will be located-these are
questions yet unsettled so far as publicly
known.
Omaha, as is well known, is making a
systematic effort to secure the shops. A
committee embracing some OF the most
prominent business men of the city, has
been appointed to prevail upon E. IL. Har-
rinlan to locate the shops in this city. The
committee has held a conference or two
with General Manager Mohler of the Union
Pacific who was urged to be a member
of the committee, but declined for dis
cretionary reasons Mr.. Mohler was able
to inform the committee that fifty acres
of ground would be required as a site for
the new shops. And so. impressed with
an idea of the immensely of the new en-
terprise, the committee is proceeding with
its mission. It is determined that even
this prerequisite shall not prevent Omaha
from securing this valuable acquisition to
its industrial and commercial prestige.

also became jealous over Mr.. McKeen and
he is determined, 1t is understood, that

now extends over the large Union Pacific
