Stepping forward the champion hurled

 General Shaver states also that an old lady whose standing is of the highest and best, and who was present at the Davis home when the present junior senator was born, still surv yes and makes her home in Ho ward county. She says she was also present when the child was named and that he was not named Jefferson or Jeff, but Jeffrey!
 Like ninety-ninc out of every 100 honest intelligent citizsn of Arkansas, General Shaver is an ardent and uncompromislng anti J. Davis man. He is now 76 years old, but vigorous and active as man of fifty. He is a man of surpassing intellectual powers, the hiph hest tyne of patriotism and one of the South's greatest Romaus-a Southerner of the old school, by birth, education and training.

GENERAL SHAVER ACCOUNTS HISTORY
Veteran Soldier Tells of the Time He Conscripted Father of Senator Davis and Compelled Him to
 Serve in the Army.

From the Texarkanian.
 General K. c. Shaver of Mena, , spent few hours in the city yesterday en route home from Little Rock where he has been for several days working in the interest of the old ex.Confederate soldiers ot the state before the present session of the state legis- lature. The General served throughout the war in the Con- federate cause, but he asks nothing for himsrf--he has sufficient of this wo Ids goods to supply him for the rest of this life's journey but he feels very much interested in the proposed legislation in favor of his old comrades in arms, who, in the evening twilight of their earthly pilgrimage, are in need of material ald.
 General Shaver was in Arkan. sas when the storm of war broke in 18ol, aad saw active service until the curtain went down and the sun of the South set in blood at Appomattox in April, 1865
 Ia the autumn of l86t General Shaver conscripted the father of Jeffrey Davis and turned him over to the enrolling officers of the Confederacy at Camden. MT. Davis declared he would not serve, saying he claimed to be exempt under the constitution from military service on the ground that he was preacher. He was told that he must serve, and that unless he did so with proper behavior a ball and chain would be put on him. Then Mir. Davis agreed that he would serve and was given a musket, and duly mustered in. About ten days later, however, he was transferred 10 lhe chaplain's de'

New York, Feb. 6.-The defense of Harry K. Thaw, charged with the murder of Stanford White, was begun Tuesday when Dr. c. c. Wiley, an alienist from Pittsburg took the stand and testified that in his opinion Thaw was insane the night of the Madison Square roof garden tragedy. He based this opinion on the mans ao- tions on the roof garden and the fact that he had witnessed an act by Thaw in Pittsburg street car which i'm, pressed him with the belief that the young man was not of sound mental ity.
 District Attorney Jerome put the witness through the most severe cross examination ever heard in a New York court room. The prose- cutting attorney seemed to have every medical authority at his finger tips The care with which he had prepared to meet Thaw's plea of insanity was

 No. indeed, your honor replied MT. Jerome, T am just getting inter ested ir the subject"
 The order for the exclusion of all witnesses which on Monday drove Mrs William Thaw and Mrs. Harry Thaw from the court room remained in force Tuesday with the result that the second row of four chairs just back of the prisoner. which heretofore nave been reserved for his family had been turned over to those whose business gave them the privilege of attending the trial Josiah Thaw was the only member of the defend ants family in court as the morning session began Harry Thaw on en- tersng seemed to miss the smile of welcome which each morning previ- ously his wife had bestowed upon him.

THE PROGRESS or THE CANA.

Nearly 100000 Of an Increase IN Cana.
da'a immigration IN 1905.

The progress Of q new country can
not be better ascertained than by not
ing the increase OF railroad mileage In
its transportation system. and. judged
BY this standard, the Canadian West
leads all the countries Ia the world
during the current year. Thirty years
ago there vas not one hundred miles
OF railroad west Of the Great Lakes
and very little prospect Of a trans
continental route for many years 20
come. but by the end Of 1885 the
Canadian Pacific Railway was within
measurable distance OF completion,
and last year-twenty years later
over 5000 miles Of railroad ~traversed
the provinces OF Manitoba, Sas
katchewan and Alberta
In the past year the work Of rail
road construction has been vigorously
prosecuted, and by the end Of 1906,
some 5000 miles Of completed railroad
has been added. making a total Of
fully 1000 miles in the three great
grain producing provinces Of Canada
Such an increase in the transportation
facilities Of the country is bound to
make good times not only In the dis
tricts where the railroads are being
built. but throughout the entire west.
Allowing $4,000 a mile for conEtruc-
ton, the sum Of 800. 600 900 viii be
put ia circulation. and this in itself
/ should cause good times TO prevail in
a land where work is plentiful, wages
are high, and the cost of living is mod
crate.
But the building OF new railroads
through Western Canada means a
greater benefit 20 the country than
merely the money put in circulation
by the cost Of construction Addition
I al railway building e the opening
Of new agricultural districts and an
Z additional area under crops; a largely
/ increased output Of grain 10 foreign
| markets with consequent financial re-
| turns, the erection of elevators and
the growth Of villages towns and cit
les; and everything else that makes
/ for the progress OF national life, and
the opening up OF additional thousands
Of free homesteads. 50 extensively ad-
vertised by the Canadian government
agent, whose address appears else

Il was stated on the floor OF the
| Canadian Parliament recently by a
prominent representative that ten
years from now would SCI the bulk Of
the population Of Canada residing
west OF the Great Lakes, and II the
work Of railway building during the
present year is any criterion. The
prophecy made by the Canadian states.

the time stated. During the present
year no less than $1,000 persons have
found homes in the Canadian west.
