Among the many good stories of hui

Attorney Wasten of Pittsburg is the
following:

the court in SO novel a fashion that II
was little short of masterful.
AT the end of the trial the attorney
was overwhelmed with congratulations
from his colleagues of the legal fra

OF admiration of his m os able work.
To these Fluctuations were added those
of the learned judge himself. who OBJ

One OF the arguments made to sup
port the position of France In Moroccan
affairs is that she has created a greater
interest for herself in that country than
any of her rivals. There Is not much In
such a contention. If Germany gets
the chance she is striving for, h may
be able to point with pride In a very
short time to her paramount interests.
1t is largely a matter of opportunity.
and Germany is disposed to get her
share of the latter.

cution. Upon the face of it those state
ments were very improbable for the
reason that Commissioner Garfield ls too
good a lawyer not to nave known that
he had no authority to make such a
promise, for he had no authority to
make such q promise, for he was in no
way connected with the Department of
Justice. When he was put upon the
stand he testified to what he actually
did say. which was that the figures of
the separate businesses which were
given to him would not be made public.
but that only averages would be pub
lished. This statement is reasonable be-
cause it was within the scope of his au-
thority and in accordance with the uni
versal custom of the government bu-
reaus when collecting information for
it is very likely that, in speaking in
that sense. he used the very words a
tribute to him by the packers-that
they would be thoroughly protected"

struction would ever have been placed
upon Commissioners Garield's promises.

Commissioners Garfield did get informa-

information was carefully withheld from
the public, for which, at the time. he
was uproariously lambasted by the sem

planned that this information was with

wisdom of suppressing that information
is now apparent. because otherwise the

Negro Held for Heinous Crime at Hot
 Springs Yesterday.

Hot Springs, Ark, March 1C.-Ac- cused by a nine-year-old girl of a brutal assault, John Wright, a coIored teamster, was yesterday bound over to the grand jury His hearing took place before Justice J. w. Afford who allowed no bond.
 Cora Jones. the little negro girl who was Wright's alleged victim, was able to be on the stand and gave a detail ed account of her assailant's actions. The fact that she was too young to grasp the significance of the negro's brutal crime made her testimony the more striking and convincing A white physician who attended the child after she had complained against Wright, testified to the fact that she had been assaulted, the pen alty for which, upon conviction, is death
 Wright denied his guilt or know ledge of the crime and even when confronted by the girl. exhibited no sign of guilt or fear.

PLUM BAYOU LEvEE
one of fine Most Gigantic Undertakings of Kind in South, Costing Third of a Mil. lion Dollars and Protecting Thousands ot Acres Of Valuable Land,

The Plum Bayeu levee system, which will extend along he north hank of the Atkausas rirar between Little Boez and Ptne Blaff for a= ais-= lance of about fifty miles. and which will save much valuable fJmina land hem= the overGows of tbe riyor. is nearly finished and will probably De completed within a month es six weeks. The bottom lands between I.if5le Rock and Pine Bluff on the nor1h side of =the river haze been at the mercy of the Arkansas river during tha spring rises aad the plant CTS in that section have suffered the less of thousands of dollars every tune the stream has risen above it's banks. They will be entirely prot ect- ed by the levee and in addition it's building will probably result in the opening of thousanns of acres of land in the Cars Slough section. which has never been worked on account of the fact that il was flooded by the over flows.
 The Plum Bayou leyee starts at the 1Icdgins place in Ashley township, Pulaski county, and runs south to a ridge about 12 miles north of Pine Bluff. The leyee varies in height ac- cording to the height of the river bank. and in some places is as high as thirty feet. It is built of dirt taken from the river front. From the Hud- gins plantation to the Baucum plan- tation the banks of the river are high and there is 10 necessity for q levee From the southern terminus of the leyee to Pine Bluff a ridge extends along the river bank. which affords ample protection. and south of Pine Bluff q number ef private and public levees have been built.
 The greatest damage that has been done by the oyerfoWs of the ArIlan- sas river was caused by the Cars Slough, sWag in the bank near Wampco. which allowed the water to flow inte Plum bayou. and through Plum bayou nearly the entire section from England to Altheimer was food ed.

 For what's the odds if you lose your leg.
 So long as you drub the foe?
 But Edward May has lost both his legs and been drllDDed by the railway company into the bargain. He has not obtained so much as the price of the several pounds of flesh that he has lost All that he has gained by his horrible mutilation is the sobriquet of "The Man With the Iron Nerves
 According to Mays story, in the win ter of 1905 he was a passenger in a second class compartment of the Taf Vale Railway company. of which he was the sole occupant. He said thai ne travelled second class on that line were always dirty. Just outside Car diff, he declared, his umbrella fell. and as he was picking it up the train sud denly swerved. throwing him against the door, which swung open, and he was pitched on to the line He lost con sciousness from the fall, he said, and recovered his senses just in time to see another train bearing down on him. It's wheels passed over his legs some distance above the ankles.
 He shouted for help, and a railway porter came to his assistance. He (May) had taken a course of lessons In first aid to the injured and made two tourniquets, employing three hand kerchiefs which he had in his pockets, and then directed the porter to twist It around his thighs to stop the bleed ing.
 Il would not have had my feet cut off," he protested, "for the wealth of the railway company and all it's share holders. l am a man who could al- ways do days work, and if could not obtain work at one thing l could always turn my hands to another"
 May was asked whether he had told his friends several days before the train crippled him that he was going to meet with an accident and that he would lose his legs below the knees.

A Source of ContaRion.

It has been proved by abundant h. vestigation that one prolific source of epidemic diseases Is found In the lia- bilty of the germs of such diseases to lodge In the mouth around the teeth and gums. A physician examined the teeth of the children of certain school. He found disease germs pres. ent in almost avery case. By careful watching he discovered that those chil- dren whose teeth were kept cleanest suffered less from epidemic diseaseA The neglected condition of the teeth Is. therefore, a common cause of illness. Indeed, if one takes the trouble to ob- serve with what rapidity the tartar and cheesy matter accumulate around the teeth of people who are out or health they will not be long In making up their minds that thorough and 1u- dicious use of the toothbrush Is not :, very far from means of grace.
