A QUALIFIED JUROR.

The jury system as now administered has just been well illustrated in Kan sas. The case is one which is being tried in the District court of Saline county, Mrs. Susan Caldwell being &C., cused of the murder of her husband, It is one of the celebrated murder cases in Kansas, and this is the second time that 1t is being tried. The case was pretty we'll covered by the local papers in Saline at the time that the crime was committed and during the first trial, so a great many people in that county are well acquainted with aE the facts. In order to. secure a jury for the second trial that could pass muster as 'unprejudiced" a special venire of five hundred was ordered. Among the five hundred was found one man who lives only fifteen miles away from the scene of the murder, yet had never heard of Caldwell's murder, although it happened months ago and was dis cussed in the entire State. He was at once accepted as "a qualified juror"
 The Topeka Journal isn't as sure that this man is a qualified juror as those who selected him are. It asks: "Is a man who has not sufficient enterprise to read even weekly paper likely to know enongh to sit in judgment on the life and liberty of woman? Is he not more likely to be stupid or ignorant?"

To Editor of the Journal and Courier: It is reported that the Board of Edu- cation in China is trying to stop the practice of women in pinching their feet by prohibiting the sale of small shoes
 We wonder if the Board of Education of our cultured city should prohibit the sale of small corsets if 1t would stop our docile women from pinching their delicate waists?

A Spell of Reform.

Reform? Yes tho the fight is hard The ways of wrong must be laid
 bare;
 Some pioneer must ever guard The portals of the thorofare So that Reform may come with speed. How's that?. The grafter is a hog? Perhaps, but does our country need The u-e after "catalog" You prate about the ballot box, Of votes that men may buy or sell, When ones inherent wisdom mocks The foolish way in which we spell. Ha! Let me ask you just one thing: Now, does it not occur to you That we are called upon to ling Aside the ugh in "thro." Wall street? And Congress? Purer
 food?
 Why, man, you trife with Reform! Unless we take the path we should, Beware of the oncoming storm, You seek to speak of anti-crime- My brother can you voice a doubt That we must reach this goal sublime: 'Throut' with ugh thrown Alt? You, with your voices and your pens, Who swallow camels, strain at gnats, Say: Give us better citizens" And mix your ''whiches" and your
 that's.
 You who say that you toll and hope To lift the people from the bog, In vain misspellings still you grope- You won't curtail the "demagog.' You shatter lances on the trusts And fret and fume to no avail; The laurels and the marble busts, The plaudits and the hearty hail Will be for those who spell aright- How's that? You ask men cant I see That if I do remove this blight We'll have the program without
 "me?"

It is related that at Eaton Hall, in the days of the old Duke of Westmin- ster, there stood on the mantelpiece of the principal guest-chamber clock of somewhat remarkable design. Under meath hung a card bearing the legend s'Please do not touch me-" This room was set apart for bachelor visitors es- peeially. An eminent politician to whom this room had been allotted asked his host one evening, after dinner, the req son for the prohibitory injunction. The duke replied: "I have often contended with my wife that women are more curious than men. To satisfy me of the contrary fact she has placed the clock, to which you refer, in the bach elors room with the notice affixed to it. The result has been that every man, with one notable exception, who has occupied the room has asked me the reason of the notice" And who," in uuired the visitor, 'who, may I ask, was the notable exception?" "Mr. Fawcett, the postmaster-g general" was the reply, "but then, poor man, he was blind"

Englishmen are not all funny, but the following was part of young English attorneys peroration on argument of demurrer in one of the courts recently. May it please your honor, this is a stu pendous question. Its decision by you this day will live in judicial history long after you and I shall have passed from this scene of earthly glory and subIunary vanity; when the tower of Pisa shall be forgotten; when Waterloo and Borodino shall grow dim in the dis tant cycles of receding centuries; when the names of Eugene, Marlborough and Napoleon are no longer remembered; when the pyramids of the Pharaohs shall have crumbled into dust; when the hippopotamus shall cease to inhabit its native Nile; even then your ruling upon this demurrer will still survive in the antique volumes of legal lore as fresh, green and imperishable. The case, your honor, originally concerns the cost of two new hats and an um- brella.

EASY FOR THE COAL PEOPLE
Railroad Performs All the Work Of
Switching and Pays Well
for Privilege.

Philadelphia. - The Berwind-White
COal Mining company was the issue
,efore the interstate commerce COM
mission when it resumed its investiga-
ion Tuesday. Probably the most i'm
ortant fact brought out was that the
,oal company is allowed seven cents a
on by the railroad company for hand
ing its cars on the Harsimus pier.
This allowance gives the coal company
about $4,000 month for this service.
The work is performed, however, by
Pennsylvania railroad crews with rail-
road locomotives, for which the coal
company makes monthly settl 'ments
with the railroad, the amount of the
monthly bill being something over
800.
Philadephia.-Ord for private
,ars to be used by Independent coal
mining companies were placed with
The Pressed Steel Car company by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company and
paid for by that corporation, which
afterward had settlement with the
coal companies.

INSPECTION BILL OUTLINED
COST OF SUPERVISION FALLS ON
GOVERNMENT.
Requires Federal Label on Meat and
Meat Products as Guaranty
OF Purity.

Washington meat inspection
provision was completed by the house
committee on agriculture Wednesday
and will be presented to the house
for action at once, which it Is declared
by the committee will insure that
American meats and meat products
are healthful. clean and in every re-
spect wholesome and fit for food.
The important features Of the legis-
lation are that it places the cost OF
the inspection on the government and
makes an annual automatic appropria-
ton Of 100000 to pay the expenses,
1t requires a rigid post mortem and
ante norton inspection of all animals
killed for food. 1t requires govern
ment label as passport for all meat
and meat products which enter inter-
state commerce and in addition to this
label, certificate Of purity to the car
rier and to the secretary of agriculture
for such products which enter for
eign commerce. To secure this labe,
the product must be handled In &C
cordance with sanitary regulations to
be prescribed by the secretary OF ag.
riculture, who is authorized to employ,
without regard to the civil service law
for the first year, an adequate corps
of efficient inspectors to supervise the
enforcement of his regulations.
1t prohibits the use of preservatives
or chemicals in the preparation of
meat foods which are deleterious to
health, and leaves the matter of de-
tsrmining this question to the secre-
tary of agriculture. The label on the
product Is to indicate the ingredients,
but the date of manufacture is not
required to be stated.
The sanitary requirements which
the secretary is to prescribe and en-.
force must insure complete sanitation
as to all buildings, whether slaughter
houses or canning establishments.

PACKERS DECLARED GUILTY
KANSAS CITY JURY FINDS THEY
ACCEPTED REBATES.
Agreement Made Before Rates Were
Advanced Is Held to Be
No Mitigation.

Kansas City, Mo.-Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co., Cudahy & Co., and the
Nelson Norris Packing company were
found guilty in the United States dis
trict court here Tuesday of accepting
rebates from the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy railway on export shipments
on packing house products.
The specific case considered, which
was. practically identical with the 9TH
ers, was that charging Cudahy & Co..
with accepting rate of % cents per
100 pounds on shipment Of lard to
New York for export to Germany, when
the legal tariff then on file with the
interstate commerce commission was
IS cents. The trial began last week,
and after lengthy argument was con-
tinued until Tuesday morning, when
Judge Smith Mcpherson, of Red Oak,
Ia, the presiding judge, instructed the
jury.
The case Is of unusual importance
In the list Of rebate trials to come
up in this court, for it is the first time
that any concern has been brought to
trial before jury on charge affect
ing export rates as applied to the inter-
state commerce act. Counsel for the
defendants in this trial contended that
the court lacked jurisdiction, which
was overruled by Judge Mcpherson,
and that that when they signed a con-
tract covering the 23-cent rate it was
legal, and that the Burlington later
raised its tariff to IS cents. Judge
McPhersons instructions to the jury
covered the points fully.
Kansas City, Mo.-The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy Railway COM
pany was found guilty here late
Wednesday afternoon by a jury in the
United States district court on four
counts of granting concessions on
packing house shipments for export
to the Armour Packing company,

The conviction carries with it a fine
of from 81 900 to $4,000 on each count.
Judge Smith Mcpherson, the presiding
Judge, deferred sentencing the defend
ant until June %. All four counts are
practically the same.
