An exchange very truthfully
notes that no psychologist ever
has arisen 10 explain why it is
that a man who would not trust
his brother with a five cent
piece will aimably turn over
several hundred of his dollars
TO some glaring rascal, who ad-
vertises to pay prodigious divi-
dends from a sugar mine in the
mountains of the moon. The
success of THESE schemes of
finance is enough to m a k g
Hungry joe and all the other
old-time bunco men turn in
their graves. 1t is so simple
that no rascal can afford to be
''broke." And yet there are peo-
pie here, and perhaps in every
community, who will take stock
in just such fakes. Why is it:

SHOTFATHER- R-N-LAW
J. w. JOHNSON KILLS CORRAL M'-
 COMMACK IN DECATUR.
Different Versions of the Shooting and the Events Which Led Up to is--TrOubIe Believed of
 Long Standing.

Decatur. Feb. l1.-(Special )--Last night J. W. Johnson of Huntsville shot and killed his father-in-law, Car raj Mccormack, of this city. in Camp hells Hotel at the corner of Bank and Pond Streets.
 able the trouble which brought about the killing is of long standing and had it's start when Johnson married Me- Commack's daughter, something like two years ago. Mccormack was about e5 years of age, 8 carpenter by trade, and is said to have stood well In the estimation of those who knew him. Johnson is perhaps 35 years of age. His home is in Huntsville, but he comes to Decatur occasionally So far as known he was never in any trouble before He is a man of pleasant ad- dress and has number of personal friends fin the Decaturs.
 The killing took place in room No. of CampbellSs Hotel and in the room at the time of >the killing were John- son and his wife and six months old daughter. and MT. Mccormack, Mrs. Johnson's father.
 Mr. Campbell, the proprietor or the hotel. says that Johnson rented room No 1 in his place yesterday and that his wife was at this time with her father just across the street, where she had been for some time, but later on in the day went to Johnson's room. Last night Mir. Mccormack went to the hotel and asked for his daughter He was told that she was in room No. l with her husband, MT Johnson. A boy was seut with him to show him the room and when the boy returned a shot was heard up stairs. Mir. Campbell says he went to the room that Mrs. Johnson rushed out scream ing and Johnson vas standing in the room with his Coat of and Mir. Me Commack was lying on the bed with his face down. Johnson asked Camp bell to give Jim his coat which was lying on his bed. He did so and John son left MT. Campbell says Mrs Johnson told him when her father came into the room he placed his arms around her neck and told her he would rather see her with her throat cut than foI her to live with Johnson. IL was then 1t is said, that Johnson fired the fatal shot. Johnson was very cool" said 1 Mir. Campbell.
 Still another version of the story ls l that Mccormack was in the act oi cutting Mrs. Johnson's throat when Johnson fired the fatal shot in order to save his wife's life. Several othel stories which have a tendency to show that Johnson was justiiable in the deed which he committed, are related and the real truth In the matter will perhaps, not be known until the case comes to trial
 MT. Campbeu says that some two months ago, when he was on the police day and told him that his son-in- law Johnson, had telephoned him from Huntsville that he was coming here or a certain day and kill his wife and baby and also kill McCommack, but Johnson never came until yesterday. Mir. John ing hands with his friends and. so fal as known, said nothing of being 1T

rhe orlgIn of the Nnme.

In Hungary. in the 18th Century, there lived a wonderful mana great soldier and wise statesman--who was principally Instrumental In driving back the "Unspeakable Turk" and keeping him out of Hungary at the period when bands of these marauders were ravaging most of Europe. By his victories in war and peace thIs man en- deared himself to the people and gain ed a great and permanent place in the Nations history. His name was HUNYADI LANDS, or John Hunyadi, as 1t would be in English.

 After the shooting, Johnson put on his coat and taking his collar and neck tie and revolver In his hand. started of Police D. C. M Young on the street and told him he had shot MT.

Nebraska Man Said to Have Caused
 COntinuance Boycott.


 COntinuance Boycott.
 Seattle, Washn., Feb. 11-Samuel Glasgow. manager of milling com pany of Spokane and Seattle. has re- ceived Hong Kong newspapers and letters from William Burtt representa- tive in Cuba of the company. which state that the speech made by w J.

 Previous to this. at a meeting held by about fifty commercial representa- tives and delegates from various Chinese guilds of Shanghai, Canton and Hong Kong and the delegates had agreed upon twelve proposed modifica- tions of the exclusion low. The Ameri- cans agreed to have their houses urge these upon congress and the Chinese agreed immediately to call off the boy colt.
 papers MT. ryan appeared and was entertained by the Chinese merchants at a dinner. One of the Chinese merchants at the dinner reported the proceedings to the Chinese newspapers. He quoted MT. Bryan as declaring that the labor party was so strong in the | United States that the Chinese work men, skilled or unskilled. would never be permitted to enter.
 l This information said that while Mir. Bryan had agreed to support num- | Der of the proposed changes, he had not been able to draw from the Ameri- can any definite assurance of support | of the bill which the Chinese would | insist upon as the only condition on which the boycott would be withdrawn | After theSinter pretation of MT. Bryan's s l speech became known the Chinese merchants said they were convinced that the American congress would not adept the changes recommended by the i American merchants and that their ! best policy was to have put on the i boycott screws lighter than ever.
