/, VERDICT FOR EGAN
Mrs. Daisy M. Hunt Denied
DAMAGE For Alleged
Criminal Assault

Logan, Ia, April AT an
early hour this morning the
jury in the $4,000 damage case
of Mrs. Daisy M. Hunt VS. At
torney George w. Egan for an
alleged criminal assault in June
1905, and for malicious prose
cution, brought in a verdict for
the defendant on both counts.
The trial began Tuesday and
lasted until z o'clock Saturday
evening. About two dozen
witnesses were examined. The
defense denied all allegations
made by the plaintiff.
1t is understood that the
Jury on the first ballot taken
voted solidly against allowance
Iof damages for criminal assault.
On the question of damages
for Mrs. Hunts arrest and pro-
secution at Egan's instance, the
first vote is reported to have
been 10 to 2, and it was this
matter which caused the jurors
to remain divided for several
| hours.

The Ants Cow.

The aphis. one of the most widely
distributed species of insects known to
the entomologists. is sometimes re-
ferred to as the "ant's cow" The aphis
actually gives milk. although the crea-
ture itself is SO small that it is esti-
mated to weigh but the one one-thOu-
sandth of a grain. Out of the back OF
the aphis project two hollow tubes.
These connect with ducts in the body,
which secrete a sweet liquid When
the tubes are touched the liquid exudes
in small drops. Tie ants know this,
and they make a regular business of
tickling the tubes of the little aphis to
make her give down her milk" The
ant is very fond of this saccharine food
and will milk" hundred aphides in

JUDGING DOGS.
The Rules by which the Different
Points Are Valued.


The average man is greatly puzzled
to find one dog awarded a first prize
and another, which to him appears TO
be quite as fine a specimen, awarded
no prize at all. 4 man who knows the
relative values Of the different points
in all breeds Of dogs is a veritable
walking encyclopedia
Generally speaking, the best dog is
one which comes nearest the standard
Of requirements for its own particular
breed, about % per cent of the points
being usually awarded for fine head
proportions, an equal number for legs
and feet, a similar number for body
and color and the rest for symmetry.
In the Dalmatian, for instance, thirty
points are given for color and mark
inss. while head, eyes and ears have
only fifteen; the bulldog. on the other
hand, has forty-dve for head and ears,
while coat and color amount to but five
points; the collie has twenty-five for
coat, color being immaterial, and TWEEN
ty-five for head and ears.
The ST Bernard has forty for head
and ears and five each for coat and
color. The Pomeranian has but fifteen
for head and ears, forty-ive points go
ing for coat. color and tail, with fifteen
for appearance. 1t may be set down as
governing in all breeds of dogs that
whatever is the typical feature of that
breed is the feature upon which stress
Is laid in the allotment of points.

Tobacco in Et0Wah,
teIll

Col. R. P Kyle does not indulge in theory when he urges the growing of tobacco in Alabama. Believing that nature is the pest chemist he pro. Burley tobacco from Kentucky. These seeds he caused to be planted in Eto wah county and he sent the product to the owners of large tobacco facto- ries in Owensboro. Ky, and they de- clared the Alabama product to be IS good tobacco "as any they had ever raised or handled" Colonel Kyle IS convinced that Etowah lands will pro, \duce from 1900 to 200O pounds to the lacre of high grade leaf tobacco. If 'so, they are easily worth one hundred dollars an acre.
 The Etowah test. together with the crops grown each year in Perry, should open the eyes of all to the pos abilities of tobacco growing in Ala bama, especially when the boil weevil is marching this way at the rate of fifty miles a year. From Gadsden to Marion a deal of red lands lies, and doubtless similar lands can be found across and about North Alabama. On these red lands high grade tobacco can be grown, and the farmers of Et- owah and Perry should combine to present to the rest of this state an object lesson that no one will sheer at They can do it. They can revo- lutionize the agriculture of Alabama. They can make our farms weevil- proof, if they will go at the problem in earnest and on generous scale. They can in no other way so well serve their neighbors, themselves and the state.

EnuIish Spinners in the South.


 Last fall large party of Manches- ter spinners travelled over the cotton states ostensibly to advocate better baling and handling of our great staple They kept their eyes open, it seems, for second commission is to be dispatched soon with more pow. CTS and more money at It's command. It is believed the second commission will purchase number of large plan- tations, and the spinners of Lanca- shire will then begin in earnest to grow their own cotton.
 This movement is a confession that good cotton cannot be economically grown in Africa or India, or anywhere else outside of this country The Egyptian crop is limited, and is con sumed in limited number of mills. The great commercial crop Is grown here, and it cannot be grown else where. The British spinners admit as much when they come here to buy cotton lands.
 There is ample opportunity here to grow cotton. In the SIP cotton-grow- ing counties of this country lie 306,- e22.240 acres. Only one-tenth of this acreage is planted to cotton at pres ent. The other nine-tenths are open to the spinners from Lancashire.
 Not only can they find here acres in abundance, but they can make the acres they may buy more productive than the cotton rSisers to the manner born are in the habit of doing. Less | than one-quarter of bale per acre Is the average at present, when good in- 1 tensive cultivation could make an acre produce bale.
 The only difficulty in the way is summed in the phrase, "the labor problem." The British spinners should bring along their own labor. Let them bring over white men by the shipload, the more the better If | they will do this they will encounter no unsolved problems, for the sun and the moisture and the soil will do the | roet at +ham coma on They will be warmly welcomed to the south. They have the advantages of ample capital. and if they will secure ample 1 labor also all will go well with them in their proposed undertaking.

Much to Answer For.

The inventor of the barbed wire fence is dead. He certainly lived long enough to regret the device he had foisted on human people. He lived to see innocent animals maimed and torn by his device-to see little chil- dren impaled on it. ana to hear adults become profane over it.
 The device is essentially Satanic, for it's basic idea is the infliction of pain or damage to human beings or to animals Other fences are barriers, but a barbed wire fence Is an invita- ton to progress until it's half-con- cealed barbs suddenly but too late, appear. Diabolsm in soft steel is what barbed wire fence is, and the inventor of it must have lived to repent the contrivance his mind had devised.
 It did not, however, work upon his mind to the extent of shortening his days, for he lived to the ripe old age of 93, rich, prosperous, and, so far as the records go, happy. He must have become hardened Co torture, for no man ever made more torture possible,

RISTORI.
the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 A great actress, one of the immortals of the stage, is gone in Adelaide Ristori It is the fate of her art to leave behind nothing but memories, and the Ameri- cans who had the privilege of seeing her are no longer young. It is over twenty years since she visited the United States for the last time: it is forty years since she was seen here in the prime of her talent. Those who saw her Elizabeth, her Mary Stuart, her heroines of Greek tragedy, or who wept over her Marie Antonette when she was nearly seventy, have never forgotten them.
 Dramatic fame in Ristori's day de- pended on the actor and not on the cos tuner or the stage manager High trag edy, the sphere in which she reigned. has disappeared from the boards before modern soul problems and spectacular melodrarna. Though she lived till yester- day. her art must be judged by stand ards that have been long put away. She has her place with Sarah Siddons and Rachel
 Italians regret in her not only their greatest actress of the nineteenth cen tury but noble woman, indefatigable in good works to the very end Of her life who took her full part In the strug- gle for the liberation of ber country.

Deadlock Broken At Last.I

On the S01st ballot the deadlock be- tween city and country in the demo- cratic congressional convention of the Savannah district was broken. After forty-two days of ballotting the end came suddenly and without warning and the city won out. The rural dis trlcts were outwitted and outrated
 It was this way. Each side con- uolled eighteen votes, and each put up various names hoping thus to win over the one needful vote. At length Savannah put in nomination Charles c. Edwards, a young lawyer 29 years of age, who had not dreamed even of a congressional career, and who had never been suggested by the voters of the district
 In a convention the yoters-the plain people-are lost sight of, and this is just what occurred at Savan- nah. Among the rural delegates sat Robert Edwards, a brother of Charles G. Edwards Robert at once deserted his rural colleagues to vote for his brother. That settled 1t. That broke the deadlock. There was no demand for Charles G. Edwards, but in a con vention popular demands are lost quantities, and any selfish or personal influence takes an inning at every favorable opportunity. Charles G. Edwards should be and doubtless is an advocate of the convention sys- tenn,

James McElhern, the principal comed- ian of the Sergeant Kitty company which comes to the Jefferson theatre to- day, matinee and night, tells story of an Englishman who was viewing the diff ferent objects of interest in the vicinity of Boston under the escort of an Ameri- can friend.
 "They finally come to Bunker's Hill, said Mir. McElhern, "and as they stood looking at the shaft, the Yankee said This Is the place where Warren fell

SENS, BILE VIEW.

From the Memphis Commerclal-Appeal.
 We have received quite a number of letters regarding the recent race conflicts in this country; but wo do not consider
 1t advisable to consider print them, as they will not aid in the solution of the .difficulty. The New York Post recently said that if the south would quit agitating the negro question it would soon be set tied. The trouble is, however, that most of the agitation is done in the north. A white man could hardly pull a negro's S nose in the south without provoking a column editorial from the negrophile Post Race troubles in the south usually arise from assaults by the negroes. When this sort of thing is stopped there will be peace In the meantime we can see no good in agitating the matter.

tender plant to wreak it's freaks upol. Between the injury to cotton seed by fermentation and the softening of i'm mature bolls by frost the south's great crop has undoubtedly been hard hit this month. The market responds by putting the price above the eleven cent mark. and if the losses are con firmed eleyen-cent cotton will abide with us during the rest of the cotton year.
 Possibly the market will thus make good the losses that nature has in- flicted. The total rise in thirty days has been about ten dollars a bale, or nearly twenty-five per cent. If the losses by moisture and frosts do not outrun that percentage the net loss to this state may not be so heavy ss some have feared 1t would be. Much depends upon the weather and the market, for both are necessarily lead ing factors of the crop situation as it stands at the present time.
