D. J. Neill. president of the Farm CTS Union. says truly:
 There is one thing that I want to say, and that is that our jury laws are badly wrong in one particular. and that is the pay allowed jurors Farmers are brought in from their work, sometimes twenty or more miles, and compelled to serve as jur- ors at $2 day with no mileage al- lowed, and then have to pay their own board while serving the State This is unjust. l think they should be paid 8, and even that is not enough; but at any rate, they should be allowed for their board and mileage. Arkan- sas and Alabama jurors are allowed so much a day and board thrown in. and if those States can stand that. why not Texas, that is so much wealthier than either of them? A farmer can't afford to leave his work and pay board in a town for g. day His time is worth as much to the State as to himself and he should be paid accordingly"

BRANDED HER sTEP-cHILDREN.
New York Woman Says Strange
Mania Possessed Her.

New York, Jan. 28-Two little tots,
Nellie, aged seven years, and Jennie,
two years younger, told Magistrate
House in the Harlem police court
Sunday how their stepmother, Mrs.
Kate Gravius, had branded them with
a red-hot stove litter when, in play,
they had made too much noise.
Twice during the recital the pris-
oner, woman of intelligence and
pleasing appearance, not more than
20 years of age, tainted. When re-
stored the woman admitted that she
burned the children, but said that at
the time she was possessed by an
unaccountable mania. The two girls,
she said, had been playing with their
dolls until the noise and confusion
robbed her of her reason and left a
resistless impulse to punish the little
ones. Selling the stove litter she
pressed the glowing end upon the
back of the right hand of each child,
causing scars that the little ones will
carry to their graves.

PAY TRIBUTE TO ALGER
THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE PASS
BEFORE SENATOR'S BIER.
Body Lies in State in Detroit City
HalI-ArrivaI of Funeral Party
From Washington.

Detroit, Mich, jan 2S.-Nearly go
600 people paid tribute Sunday after.
noon to the memory of Senator r. A.
Alger as his body lay in state in the
city hall. For three hours and half
a continuous, unbroken double line of
men, women and children passed rap
idly through the corridor for a last
look at the familiar face of the dead
senator.
Guarded by company G, Seventh
United States infantry, the body lay
on bier under beautiful canopy of
American flags, surrounded by stately
palms. A silk flag was draped over the
casket and upon this lay several mag
nificent wreaths. The long corridor
was hung with black draperies from
floor to ceiling and lined with tall
palms and ferns. Pathetic and moving
incidents abounded as the throng
passed before the open casket. Old
soldiers who had served in the civil
war with Alger saluted as they slowly
marched by the body of their old COM
mander with tear-dimmed eyes.
When the last person had passed
before the casket the senator's body
was carried out to the hearse and
taken to his late home on Fort street,
escorted by Mayor W. B. Thompson
and a committee from the common
council.
The special train on which the
funeral party came from Washington
arrived in the city over the Michigan
Central railroad at ten o'clock in the
morning. Accompanying Mrs. Alger
and the other members of the family
on the train were Senators Burrows,
Scott and Warren, and all the mem
bers of the Michigan congressional
delegation excepting Congressman
Darragh, Young and Hamilton. After
Mrs. Alger and her family had left the
train and gone to their home, eight
members of the Spanish War Vet
erans' association, who had served I'M
der the orders of Senator Alger when
he was secretary of war, marched out
on the platform and took the casket
from the funeral car. The congress
sional escort and a committee from
the common council, headed by Mayor
w. B. Thompson, formed behind the
casket and it was borne to the waiting
hearse. Then the escort of the vet
Grams of the G. A. r. and the Spanish
war veterans formed in column behind
the hearse, and with military band
playing a funeral march, the process
sion started for the city hall.
Mrs. Alger, it was stated by mem
bers of the funeral party, stood the
trying journey home very well, and is
bearing up wonderfully under the
shock of the senator's sudden death.
The funeral ceremonies will be held
from the senator's home at 2:30
o'clock Monday afternoon.
