Straps aud 9atts,


an attorney at law. He passed the
examination on June 8 before the board
of state examiners in Jefferson CITY,
and made the highest grade in class
of thirty-seven. His average was 81.
He said today: In two weeks l will
quit the pawnbroking business and
will devote the balance Of my life to
the practice of law"
st. Louis, June 25: In the cir
cuit court here today Judge Ryan
declared in favor of purchaser
who contended that he does not have
10 pay for goods which he bought
from a concern which he alleges Is
a member of a so-called trust. The
Cahall-Swift Manufacturing compa-
nv had brought suit for about $25O
against ]. E. Walsh, plumber, on
the allegation that Walsh had bought
goods to the value Of the judgment
asked, and had refused to pay for
them. Walsh acknowledged the pur-
chase. His counsel termed the COM
pany a trust" and argued that the
defendant did not have TO pay for
the goods bought from a trust any
more than he would have to pay a
gambling debt. Walsh's defense was
based solely on his antitrust argu-
ment, and the courts decision was
in his favor.
Atlanta, June 27: State Entomolo-
gist r. /. Smith, who has just returned
from an extended trip through the
states of Texas and louisiana where
he investigated the ravages made upon
cotton by the boil weevil and the meth
DDS employed for its determination,
sounds a note of warning to the cotton
planters of Georgia. So certain does II
seem that this pest will reach the
fields of Georgia, unless some unfor-
seen barrier presents itself, that Pro-
fessor Smith urges that the legislature
should make some provision, should
the pest appear one hundred miles or
more ahead Of it's natural spread for
destroying cotton over a limited area,
reimbursing the planter, in part at
least, for the loss. In Louisiana the
experiment is being made Of extermi-
mating the pest with paris green, the
drawback being that 1t occasions more
injury to the cotton than does the boil
weevn
The honor of being elected repre-
sentative to the congress Of the Uni
ted States is one which is eagerly
sought after, yet many able men who
would make admirable legislators
hesitate to enter the list because
the social requirements of the posi-
ton are such as to leave but small
margin, If any, of their $1,000 yearly
compensation. They, however are
far more fortunate than the legisla-
tors of many other countries. The
Norwegian member Of parliament
gets less than SO a day, and If he
takes a day off loses his days pay.
The same is true of the members OF
the Swiss diet. They are rewarded
about 81 per day, on condition that
they do not absent themselves from
work. Roumania thinks her lawma-
kers worth $5 a day. Bulgaria is
trifle less generous. Four dollars
day is the salary Of those who COM
pose the Bulgarian sobranje, but the
members who live in the capital get
only .$3 day.
A wild rumor that children's
throats were being cut in the public
schools resulted in such a state of ex-
element and panic throughout the
lower east side of New York last
Wednesday that fifteen schools with
25,0 0e0 pupils, were closed for the day.
The trouble was caused by operations
performed on several children yes
terday for the removal of adenoids,
fungus growth in the back of the
throat and nasal cavity. The opera
tion is not a dangerous one, but the
reports concerning what had been
done spread rapidly today, especially
among the Hebrews and became
changed into rumors that the Rus
sian anti-Jewish massacres were to
be repeated in this country and that
a start was being made on Hebrew
children in the schools. 1t was not
long until many of the schools were
surrounded by crowds of frantic
stricken parents bent on reScu-
ing their little ones from what they
believed to be impending death
These crowds became so threatening
that hurry calls for protection were
sent to the nearest police stations and
all the patrolmen available were sent
out to restore order. All attempts at
were
soon seen to be useless and one after
another the principals decided to dis
miss for the day. AS the little ones
marched out the scenes were pathet-
ic, weeping women rushing forward
to clasp their children in their arms
in Thanksgiving.
- Stanley Condor, aged eleven
years, says a London dispatch, has
been remanded to the work house
and will probably be turned over to
some reformatory. He is an eX-
tremely adventurous lad and has
travelled many thousands of miles,
mostly as a blind passenger" on
freight trains and as Stowaway on
steamers and sailing vessels. The
last charge against him was
slowing himself away on the liner
Victorian from New York TO Liver
travelling all over the country are
we'll known and would fill a good
sized book. Somewhat over a month
ago, after having lived quietly at his
parents home for some time, the
irresistible desire to see the world
again seized him. He slowed away
on a vessel bound for Halifax. On
arriving there he evaded the author
tiles and made his way TO the railway
station, where he secreted himself
in a westbound passenger train.
Eventually the boy reached Winnie
peg. He stayed there one day and
then set out for New York, tramping
part of the way and stealing free rail-
road rides whenever he got the
chance. At New York he boarded the
Victorian and was not discovered
until after she had sailed. He was
arrested upon the arrival of the ship
in this port and remanded to the
workhouse, but managed to escape.
For several days his place of hiding
could not be discovered, but finally
a constable found him near the docks
and the boy was again imprisoned.
Condor was accompanied by two 9TH
er boys when he was found and IL
seems that the trio intended to start
on another stowaway adventure.
