SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Joe Harr Tries to Commit Suicide
Near Pennington.

Pennington, Feb. 2o.-Joe Harr,
a well-known young man OF
Clark county, Mo-, discouraged over a
series Of business reverses shot him
self Monday afternoon at the home OF
his mother, Mrs w. H. Harr, at the
John Mantle farm,ten miles southwest
of here. Young Harr is unconscious
and his recovery is doubtful.
4. Up to year ago, he was heavily
engaged in the cattle business, but by
a series of misfortune lost everything.
He took advantage Of the bankruptcy
act, and his friends were hopeful that
he would regain his lost footing, but
he evidently brooded over his misfor-
tunes until yesterday, when he sought
to end it all.
Joe Harr was of jovial disposition,
ever ready to enter into the spirit Of
any gathering, and was easily the life
Of the surrounding country. Young,
manly and honest, he numbered his
friends by the score, and the news OF
his rash act was received here with
surprise and regret.

Policy.

Rome, Feb. 2o.-Pope Piux K feels
SO keenfy the recent deaths of his car
dinals especially those elevated by
himself, that he entertains a strong re-
luctance to creating new princes of

to him that his great personal friend,
Cardinal Caligari, was likely to die,
he exclaimed:
After this shall chooseI my cardi-
nails according to their age land health
and not according to merit cannot
bear to hear of their being leyen I'll"
The new idea of creatings young pre-
lates cardinals would open up the
way to two candidates to the purple
who have thus far been neglected,
principally because Of theif immature
age from the church point of view
namely Archbishop BOURNE of West

Blow to Railroads.

i.at BLOW TO halifoadSs
Washington, Feb 2O.---By decision
OF the supreme court handed down by
Justice White late yesterday g. broad
extension Of the Interstate commerce
law was established as the law of the
land
1t was held that railroad COM
pany, which is a common carrier,
could not own and mine coal or own
and transport any other commodity
and then sell that coal or commodity
below the market price SO as, in effect
to make the reduction a rebate on the
cost of transportation.
The supreme court established the
broad general principle that reduc-
ton in the price Of coal owned by a
railroad at the mines might be used
as an indirect rebate Of the transport
tation charge, and. therefore, be pro-
hibfted by the original Interstate COM
merce law.
The decision is q sensational one
because it seems to Indicate the pur-
pose of the supreme court to interpret
the interstate commerce law in the In
terest Of the people and shippers as
against the railroads. To that extent
this decision has a direct influence
upon pending legislation In congress

Report on the Manatee Snail, and
White Fly.
BY Mr.. +. ID. Waite.


Mr.. President. Ladies and Gentlemen:
Our president recently asked me to
get up Il paper on the White Fly and
Manatee Snail. the latter having been
brought to the notice of the fruit
growers within the past six months,
and several descriptive articles have
been published and copied into the
leading papers of the state. | have
brought Il few specimens with me, al
so another species of snail which may
play Il part in the cleaning up of the
SOOty mould. as we have found it
feeding on the lichens several feet
high on the trunks of old seedlings.
Messrs. Butler and Heathcote, of
St Petersburg. sent me several dozen
snails feeding on the MangrOve at
Passe-aGrille. these were put around
tree during early winter and protect
ed with sacks. but all died. | hope
this summer to make another trial
with them.
| am sorry to say that parties have
visited the grove where the Manatee
snail was first discovered and stolen
so many that we can hardly find any
left, our neighbOrs who afterwards
discovered them in their groves. have
been trea ted in like manner.
From observation already made |
believe the snail is not active during
cold or dry weather. neither do |
think they increase until the rainy
season. and during the foggy weather
in early fall and winter, when they
become most active in Kidding the
trees and fruit of the sOOty mould.
Those wishing to become familiar with
the White Fly and its enemies should

And putting the drOss alone.
Then coming the gOOdly metal,
Into thousand forms,
Legal tender to those less happy,
