he really appeared poisoned. With
Spartan courage he hacked or his
hand with knife, and though he
lacked antiseptics, straightway recov-
cred.
When the caravan came across a
doctor the hero showed to the
latter his mutilated stump and the
serpent which had bitten him. The
doctor applauded the courage and wis.
dom Of the man, but confided to the
latter's master that the mutilation
need not have been undergone-the
snake was harmless. Imagination had
made the native believe himself al
most poisoned unto death.

Civic Pride, Indeed.

"Civic PRIDE" said Lincoln Stefens,
the noted reform writer, lis all very
well in its way. Humility. though, and
disc0ntent usually lead to better
things than pride and complacency do,
and whenever hear any man boasting
overmuch about his city's excellence,
I think of the civic pride Of an old
resident of PEBBLES.
ITO this old man, who regarded
PEBBLES as a finer town than Paris, a
copy of Shakespeare's works was once
loaned. The old man read the i'm
mortal plays for the first time. He
enjoyed them nightly, and. on being
asked what he thought of them, he
slapped his knee and said in a loud,
enthusiastic voice:
They're fine. They're glorious.
They far surpassed all my expecta-
tons. Why, sir, there are not 20 men
In PEBBLES who could have written
those plays"

was praising the tramp.
Many a tramp" he said, lis more
Intelligent and honorable, and has a
happier life, than the average rich
man. Tramps are renowned the world
over, too, for their humor.
Il once knew tramp named Bos-
ton Jack. It is said that Boston Jack
knocked on the back door OF farm
house one July afternoon, and asked
for assistance.
The farmers wife said sharply to
him:
why don't you go to work? Don't
you know that rolling stone gathers
no moss?'
Madam, said Boston Jack, with
out evading your question, may l ask
of what practical utility moss would
be to man in my condition."

:PACKERS FREED; CORPORATIONS HELD BY HUMPHREY E
eliminating Planning to Appeal

which have been under examination
by Commissioner Garfield
From Washington the report came
last night that the greatest disappoint-
ment exists in government circles. At
torney General Moody arrived there
late in the afternoon from Chicago.
He talked with Commissioner Garfield
over the telephone in regard to the
case, but was unwilling to make any
statement for publication until he had
seen the full text of the decision. Mr..
Garfield was equally reticent.
Appeal May BE Possible.
There is a question as to whether
any sort of an appeal can be taken by
the government, as the proceedings
against the packers were on a GRIM
inal charge, but it was pointed out that
as the issue passed upon by Judge
Humphrey was of a preliminary char
acter. it may be found possible to go
to higher court on writ of error.
The fact that the investigation which
the bureau has made into the Stand
ard Oil, coal trust, and steel trust was
conducted along the same lines as that
into the beef trust makes it practically
certain that the individual officials of
those various combinations will be held
to be immune, though their corpora
tions may be prosecuted upon evidence
which they furnished.

Washington. March 22.-President
Roosevelt held an extended conference
today with Attorney General Moody,
Secretary Taft, and James r. Garfield,
the adverse decision rem
dered in Chicago yesterday by Judge
Humphrey in the beef packers case.
Appeal IN Denied.
No details of the conference were
obtainable but it is certain Moody pro-
poses to look carefully into the law
bearing upon the matter with view
of ascertaining whether an appeal from
the decision of Humphrey, by the gov
ernment, will be legal.
Chicago, March 22.-One long chap-
ter of the federal prosecution of the
meat packers was closed yesterday af-
ternoon.
Judge J. Otis Humphrey of the Uni
ted States district court released the
16 indicted packers, individually and
personally, from the indictment which
charged violation of the Sherman anti
trust law. But in the same breath he
refused to release the five indicted cor
porations, which must stand trial upon
the merits of the trust charge.
Immunity Won.
The judge released the individual
packers on the ground that they were
entitled to immunity from prosecution,
specifically because the investigation

The decision of Judge Humphrey is
regarded here and in Washington as of

that a new policy will have to be in

Indictment.
OFFICERS CANNOT FIND HIM
Charged That He Received Deposits
When Aware of the Institu-
tion's insolvency.

Peoria, H.. March 22.-Rev. f. Louis
Kelley, a Baptist minister without a
charge and the partner of the late Rev.
George Simmons in the defunct Peo-
pies Savings bank, was indicted for
embezzlement yesterday afternoon
Deputy Sheriff Fash searched the city
for Kelley later and discovered he had
left suddenly early in the day. Mrs.
Kelley is in Wheaton, H., and the of
ffcers there have been asked to watch
for Kelley.
The indictment, which contains three
counts, charges that Kelley received
deposits on Monday, Feb. 5, the day
before DR.. Simmons committed suicide
and when he knew the bank was in
solvent. The states attorney holds that
under the law this is embezzlement.
Newcomer in Town.
Kelley came here last fall from Wy
oming, Ill. DR.. Simmons had bought
the Peoples bank from the Woolners,
Dank out of deposits. Kelley and Sim
mons then formed a partnership bv
each giving the bank their alleged
worthless notes for 37,500 each.
Later, it is alleged, they inflated the
banks assets with $4,000 more in
worthless notes, signed by them joint
ly, and Simmons, it is charged, finally
borrowed $4,000 and put up worthless
Macon Cereal company stock as col
lateral.
Receiver John Wilton estimates the
bank will pay about 80 per cent on the
deposits in case the depositors are
able to hold the bank building, which
IS claimed by the widow Of DR.. Sim
mons.
