SUICIDE AT LAKE PRESTON.

This community was shocked this
noon when the report was circulated
that Jonas e. Thorstad had commit
ed suicide. He was a mechanic and
has for years been head engineer at
the Lake Preston Millin Co. plant but
too often INDUCED quite freely in the
cup that leads to destruction. He
had been INDUCING to freely of late
aud last Sunday his wife took the
children over to the home of her
parents, and, with the baby, went to
Madison and visited friends until
last evening. She returned to her
fathers home last night. At about
fifteen minutes of twelve to-day, Mr..
Thorstad appeared and asked his
wife when she was coming back to
his home. She answered, ''as soon
as you prove that YOU are going to
be a man and do right" He pulled
a two ounce bottle of carbolic acid
from his pocket, drank the contents
and walked back home. DIR. Kheir
ALA was Immediately sent to his re-
lief, but the powerful drug had done
its work and he died while the ply
stefan was working over him. 1t was
not over thirty minutes from the
time he drank the poison until he
was cold in death. Mrs. Thorstad
and the children have the heartfelt
sympathy of all in their bereavement.

AS showing some of the methods
by which certain boards of trade have
attempted to control and in many in
stances secured a monopoly on the
grain trade in certain section of the
country, we quote a part of the testi-
mony of b. r. Beall, of the National
Grain q Elevator Co., before the in
terstate commerce commission at Kan
sas City:
"When we attempted to export
shipments of wheat at New Orleans
through the Illinois Central elevator
in that city, there was placed an EN-
barge of 5 l-2 cents a bushel on the
shipment for running wheat"
He protested vigorously to the off.

They not only have arms for themselves, but several thousand rifles from the United States to equip recruits, who are presenting them selves, but the main dependence of the revolutionists is not placed in General Castillo's forces. but rather on General Barillas who is making his way along the foothills of the mountains to make a dash on the city of Quezeltenango. Ba- rillas is reported to be receiving eonces- sions all along his line of march. His forces include veteran soldiers, especially picked for hard fighting.
 The San Francisco contingent Is reck- oned 10 be equal to a much superior force, and they are anxious to be in the midst of the fighting The rainy season has set in across the line in Guatemala, which makes the movements both of the revo- lutionsts and the government slow.

DISCRIMINATION IS

Washington May 29.-It required a yea and nay vote on the part of the House today to take up the further consideration of the diplomatic and consular bill the democrats continuing their fillbustering.
 Mir Burleson of Texas, in discussing what he declared was scctlonalism, dis played by the appointing power in se- lecting diplomatic and consular officers, gave an interesting series of figures to bear out his contention. He stated that in the eleven southern states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina.

WHITE MAN VICTIM
 OF THE LlNCHERS
ROBERT T. ROGERS IN LOUISIANA WAS AWAITING THIRD TRIAL. QUIETLY STRUNG UP TO ATEL- EGRAPH POLE.

Tallulah, La, May 29.-Robert T.. Rog- CTS. white man, awaiting his third trial on the charge of murdering Jesse Brown, merchant at Girard, Richland parish, was lynched by mob at midnight which came from the west on a special train over the vicksburg, Shreveport and Pa cifc railroad.
 The mob appeared after 10 o'clock and came fully prepared with locksmths who had no trouble in breaking into the jail. The jail was unguarded and the sheriff, who lived some distance away, was not aware of what was going on until he saw the mob leading the man off. Rogers was strung up to a telegraph pole and as soon as they felt assured he was dead, tho mob quietly dispersed.
 The fear that Rogers would escape pun ishment for his awful crime because of legal technicalities prompted the lynching according to the evidence adduced at the first trial in March, 1904. Rogers and two other white men named Anderson and Womack, together with two negroes, en- tered the store of Jesse N. Brown, a merchant at Girard in this parish and after shooting him a number of times and striking him on the head with their pistols. set fire to the body. The object of the crime was robbery insofar as Anderson and Womack were concerned, but Rogers motive was revenge and also was sup posed to have been to put out of the way witness who had knowledge of certain crimes Rogers was accused of having com mitted.
 Rogers was tried alone and convicted in March, 1905, and sentenced to death, but the supreme court gave him new trial and change of venue to Madison parish Last February the case was tried again, but on account of illness in his family Judge Ransdell ordered a mistrial entered and the jury discharged before the termination of the trial. May 21 the trial was begun but the attorneys for the de- fense interposed a plea of former jeopardy which the court sustained and ordered the prisoner discharged. The state appealed to the supreme court where the question was pending until settled by the lynching.
