Case is Dismissed.

The case of the State of Indiana VS.
Emma Candy was dismissed by JUS
tice Unger Wednesday morning,it be-
ing found that there was no law under
which the case could be tried before
a justice of the peace The acts of
1907 read that when a girl who is
under II years of age and COM
plant is entered against her that is
not punishable with life imprison-
ment or death, said complaint must
be heard before the juvenile court
and not before any magistrate" The
law further says that the case must
be reported to the probation officer
who is to make report to the Judge
OF. the juvenile court before the case
is tried, showing that he has inquired
into and made a thorough examina-
ton of the circumstances surround
ing the case, the parentage and sur
roundings of said child, its exact age,
habits and school record and every
thing that will throw light on its life
and character. If the judge shall find
upon examination of said report that
the child is not guilty or that the
interest of the child will be best
subserved thereby, he shall order that
such child shall not be brought into
court and said cause shall be dismiss
ed. The law provides that in places
where there is no juvenile court, as
in Marshall county, the judge of the
circuit court shall act as juvenile
judge.

ception.

A grand reception was rendered
Rev. and Mrs. ]. c. Smith by the
members and friends of St. PauPs

pleasant social way and was enjoyed

Following the notice to the Wa
bash Railroad Company that the
bringing of any more crowds from
Chicago to Dearborn Park for the
purpose of gambling will be the sig
nal for the state to demand a revo-
cation of the roads charter to d.
business in Indiana the attorney gen.
eral of Indiana has been notified that
the company will run no more ex-
cursion trains to the Lake county
gambling resort.
Attorney General Bingham says
this determination on the part of the
company settles the matter of gamb-
ling at Dearborn Park and he be-
lieves that the conviction of the men
now under arrest and the destruction
of the property which will follow
will prevent such invasions of the
state in the future.

No Red Lemonade.

Hereafter it will be possible, if the
vendors of soft drinks at county fairs
are law fearing and law abiding, to
get quencher on the fair grounds
that is what it purports to be. The
pure food law catches the stand men
and puts the ban on acid mixtures for
lemonade and brown sugar and other
connections with a dash of orange
flavor for orange cider 1t also hits
the circus vendors of drinks and con-
fections SO that hereafter when one
goes to the circus he can demand the
pure stuff and though he may be
short changed he will not be poisoned.

BIG HAIL DAMAGES CROPS.
Trees Uprooted, Windows Broken and
Residences Damaged.

st. Louis, Mo.-The Missouri river
valley district vas swept Tues
day afternoon by what is said to be
the worst hailstorm in years. Re-
ports from several towns, almost IN a
line east and west, reported last night
that in the afternoon a hailstorm
broke suddenly, sending down a rain
CT hailstones with terrific force, rang
ing in size from as large as a qNaips
egg down to a fine snow. In three
districts reports say the storm lasted
than twenty minutes and was
preceded by a greenish-yellow sky and
high wind.
The storm seemed to drive from the
southwest, almost due west at some
points, and caused heavy damage to
wheat, corn and tomato crops, as well
as breaking windows and damaging
roofs. At New Bloomfield, Galloway
county, 10, the storm was reported
asq striking the town at 6 o'clock.
Wentzville, ST. Charles county, re-
ported that the deluge reached that
city at $3.50 o'clock, although it was
reported in both instances as coming
from the west. Later reports say a
severe hailstorm struck Baldwin, ST.
Louis county, snd reports from there
Show considerable damage.

Howard Forced to Move.

R. S. Howard, a white man, who has
been living at Yazoo City for q number
of years, was driven from the com.
munity by the action of outraged citi.
zens. Howard has a son IS years Of
age, whom he has treated in the most
inhuman manner, beating him with a
leather strap with a buckle on one end
until the boy is a mass of sores from
head to foot. At a mass meeting of
citizens witnesses testified q the con.
dition of the boy. Howard pleaded
guilty and asked for a few days IN which
to dispose of his property, saying he
would then leave and never return. The
matter was discussed and Howard was
plainly told that the officers would not
be responsible for him if found in Yazoo
City at dark. Seeing the determination
of the people, and knowing what would
be the consequences, Howard asked to
be placed in Jail for safekeepirtg until
the arrival of the train at Z O'Clock. In
the afternoon he was, at his own re-
quest, taken to some place out of the
city where he could take the train, and
the community is rid of him.

FIGHT BLACK HAND
NEW ORLEANS ITALIANS ORGAN
lie TO COMBAT 1T.
COMMITTEE HAS BEEN APPOINTED
viii Work with Police to Prevent
Repetition of Former Italian
Disorders.

New Orleans, La.-Official cogni-
zance that a dangerous black hand
organization exists in New Orleans
was taken by the Progressive Union,
the most influential commercial body
in the city, comprising a membership
Of nearly 1000 business men. Presi-
dent GodchauX of the union issued a
call TO members to attend a mass
meeting which had been called by the
wealthy New Orleans Italians in pro-
test against the black hand. This
call was precipitated by the supposed
kidnapping of S-year-old Walter Lamana
last Saturday night and the subse-
quent demand for $4,000 ransom from
his father, a well-to-do Italian under
taker. Mr.. Lamana went to Kenner,
La, ostensibly to pay the ransom
money and obtain his boy. He re-
turned alone.
President GodchauX said that no
home in New Orleans would be safe
if outrages recently ~perpetrated here,
rresumably by the black hand, were
not stopped. He appointed a commit
tee to work with the police and Ital-
ians.
Several years ago New Orleans was
the scene of such serious Italian dis
orders that it is proposed to run no
risk of their recurrence. Recently
several minor acts of violence have
led to a suspicion that a black hand
or some similar society is reviving
activity.

TROOPS TAKE TO THE SHIPS
American Leader of Revolution Is
Among Those Who Are
Captured.

San Salvador.-A force of Nicara-
guans landed at Acajutla, and
at once made their way to the town
of Sonsonata, where they plundered
the custom house and stole 100000
from the local agency Of the Bank of
Salvador. Sa~lvadorean troops enen
appeared and defeated the invaders,
who fed precipitately back to AGA
Julia, where they re-embarked upon
some vessels flying the Nicaraguan
flag, and made their way out of the
harbor.
The battle was fought near the town
of So%nsonata, which is we'll garri-
soned, and is about twelve miles from
Acajutla, on the S~alvadorean railroad,
which connects the ports of AcaJutla
with the capital of the republic. AS
soon as the invading force entered the
harbor they easily took possession of
the town, which was poorly defended.
They then seized a train and swiftly
moved or to Sonsonata.
Salvador MobiIizes Army.
Meanwhile President Figueroa had
heard of the capture of the town and
ordered an immediate mobilization of
the Salvadorean army. A number OF
troops were rushed by the train from
the capital to S~onsonata. During the
night the invaders surrounded the
town, attacking this morning with the
result above stated.
An intimate friend Of President Fig
ueroa declares that while this latest
movement has been checked it has
not been crushed, for every one in the
country realizes it is but the fore
rune of a well-thought-out plan, the
ultimate aim of which is the seating
in the presidential chair of a man of
President Zelaya's choice. Within a
few days, it is believed, President
Figueroa will have to divide his forces
in three bodies.
Americans Fight for ZeIaya.
In General Sierra's army are two

petition. One of the men is said to
have attended West Point.

Tea drinking frequently affects peo-

she went over to tea drinking. but
finally, she had dyspepsia SO bad that
she had lost twenty-five pounds and

There died in a Washington Catho-
lie convent a few days ago a nun
who had taken the holy VOWS after
she had refused the hand of Richard
Mansfield, the actor. They had been
sw~eethearts for years and it is said
that for awhile they were engaged.
Persons who knew her in Washington
declare that she was one of the most
beautiful nuns and one of the most
devout Christians they had ever
known. After she had entered the con.
vent Mr.. Mansfield never came to
washington that he did not send to
her, with the permission of the con-
vent authorities, great quantities of
flowers. These she distributed among
the hospitals for the poor.

Patients in Home for Nervous People
Terrorized by Night Visit.

Chicago, Ill.-Three armed and
masked men, at 8 o'cl.~Eriday morn
ing, drove up to the North Shore
health resort of Winetka, 16 miles
north of Chicago on Lake Michigan, a
sanitarium of fashion for the treat
ment of nervous disorders, and ran
sacked the entire place, throwing the
81 patients into a state of terror, and
leaving some in a critical condition.
The men walked through every cor
ridor in the place, forcing nurses to
accompany them and show them
where patients clothes were kept in
their rooms. Patients awakening in
terror and beginning to scream, were
forced into quietude at the point of
revolvers.
Everybody, every room, every bu-
reau and every desk in the institution
was searched. The bandits secured

authorized the statement that Wis
count Aoki, the Japanese ambassador,
has decided to postpone his proposed
visit to the Pacific coast until later
in the summer. "The ambassador has
reached this decision" said Mr.. Mi
yaoka, because of the present agita-
ton in both the American and JAP
anese press. If he should visit the
coast at this time the
would magnify the Importance of the
visit and might place the ambassador
in the embarrassing attitude of trying

Birdsonp Case Affirmed.


The Supreme Court affirmed the sem
tence of Mrs. Angie Birdsong, convicted
of the killing of DR.. Butler at Month
cello. Chief Justice Whitfield read the
opinion of the majority of the court as
follows: "We do not care to make any
comment upon the case presented by
this record, further than to say that we
have most carefully considered each and
all of the assignments of error, and find
nothing in the record which would war
rant us in disturbing the judgment of
the court below. As men, our deepest
sympathy goes to this unfortunate APP
pellant; as judges, we are bound to pro-
nounce the judgment of the law. The
right to pardon, the divinest attribute of
the Deity, is vested not in us, but in
the governor of the State. Affirmed.
Calhoon, j., dissents." Beyond the mere
statement of the fact of his dissent,
Judge Calhoon expressed no opinion in
the case either one way or the other,
verbal or written. The court having
spoken, and its mandate having become
of record, the next step was taken by
the governor, who, as soon as he was
shown a copy of the opinion, al above
given, directed Secretary Buck to pre-
pare respite papers for thirty days, in
which time the friends of Mrs: Birdsong
will be in a position to secure the petit
ton for pardon in conformity with the
law. Meanwhile Mrs. Birdsong will re-
main in the custody of the sheriff of
Copiah County.

Forqettinq Something.

When the train that conveyed Pres
ident Roosevelt through Virginia on
his last trip south stopped at Char
lottesville, a negro approached the
presidents car and passed aboard a
big basketful of fine fruit, to which
was attached the card of a prominent
grower.
In course of time the orchardist re-
ceived a letter of acknowledgment
from the White House expressing the
presidents appreciation of the gift,
and complimenting the donor upon his
fruit. The recipient OF the letter was,
of course, greatly pleased. and, feel
ing sure that his head gardener would
be much interested in the letter, he
read it to him. The darby who
served in the capacity mentioned lis
tened gravely, but his only comment
was: .

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re-
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. 1t was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that it
should be given a thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost Of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder, while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost of securing new business
was the most eXtravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made By the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in it's report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law.
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving of over $4,000, 900 in expenses,
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios of the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1929 in 1904, 1885, in
1905, and only 14.4Sqo in 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1905 amounted to 5 1929, 734,
which was an increase of more than
go over 1905.
While the Equitable made a better
showing than any other big company,
all reported radical economies and IN
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided to leave the law SUBJ
stantially as it stands.
