HEAR THE CASE.
special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
San Antonio, Texas, Feb. lac
cording to present plans the court
martial called by General McCaskey,
commanding the department of Texas
will convent at Fort Sam Houston on
Monday next for the trial of Major
C. w. Penrase and Captain E. A. Mack
lin of the Twenty-fifth infantry. The
specific charges against the two Off
GERS are conduct to the prejudice oil
good order and discipline in failing to
exercise due diligence in preventing
rioting at Brownsville last August.
Colonel George L. Brown, command
ing the Twenty-sixth infantry, is pres
ident of the court, and First Lieuten-
ant Charles E. Hay, Jr., Twenty-fourth
infantry, acting judge advocate of the
department of Texas, is judge advo-
cate of the court. With one exception
the court is composed of officers at
tached to the department of Texas.
The exception is Major E. ID. Hoyle,
artillery corps, who was especially
detailed by the chief of staff at Wash
ington to complete the quota of the
court.
The court martial proceedings will
be of great interest, as they are ex-
pected to develop all the facts con-
nected with the Brownsville raid and
to settle beyond controversy whether
colored troops took part in it. The
trials will be conducted in accordance
with the laws and regulations, and all
witnesses will be sworn and be sub
ject to cross-examination.

JOKES IN SIGHT
OF DEATH CHAIR
FRED CASTOR, THREE TIMES
SENTENCED TO DEATH, SINGS
AND JOKES IN HIS CELL.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Columbus. O., Feb. Three times
sentenced to death and three times re-
proved, Fred Castor, young man of
respectable family, sings and jokes in
his cell in the penitentiary annex
while awaiting the result of the final
efforts of his counsel to save his life.
Should these efforts fail the young
man will be put to death two weeks
from today.
Castor has been virtually in the
shadow of the death chair for nearly
two years, but in all that time he has
never displayed the slightest evidence
of fear or dependency. The peniten-
tiary annex is now filled to overflow
ing with condemned murderers SEN
fenced to death. and though CastOr's
case appears the most desperate of
them all he is the most hopeful pris-
oner OF the lot. Each time that he has
been appraised of the date fixed for his
electrocution he has received the news
as calmly as he did the first sentence
of death, when he said, We'll, shoot
me full of electricity until I'm dead"
He spends his time joking with the
guards or playing cards with his fell
low prisoners. A part of each day he
takes regular exercise in order to keep
himself in good physical condition. He
has never been sick an hour during
the long period of his confinement
Castor's crime was the murder of
Daniel z. Davis, a member of the Co
lumbus police force. Davis and other
officers surprised Castor and his pals
in the act of burglarizing the resi-
dence of Horace l.. Chapman, a prom
inent coal operator and former Demo
cratic candidate for governor Of Ohio.
With companion, Castor was making
his escape from the house when he
almost ran into the arms Of the Off
Ger. Shots were exchanged, and sub
sequently the officer was found NOR
tally wounded.
An investigation following his ar
rest showed that Castor, though still
young in years. had long criminal
record. His home was in Flint. Mich.
where his parents still reside. They
have worked constantly to save their
son from the electric chair, and
through their efforts a petition con-
tanning the signatures OF thousands
of people living in Michigan has n
PRESENTER 70 me governor asRTig 20. p
Communication of the death sentence
to one of life Imprisonment To coun-
teract these efforts to save Castor, the
police officers of Columbus circulated
a petition asking that there be no in
reference with the original sentence.
Castor himself appears confident that
his sentence will be COMMITTED.

London. Feb. LIN marine engi.
neering nothing has made greater adj
vances recently than the Parsons tur-
bine engine, and there will be import
ant developments in this line in the
navy soon. In point OF fact the ad-
miralty has resolved that in the fu.
ture all British warships will be fitted
with turbine engines. This has been
determined after the most complete
investigation and trial. the decision
being mostly due to the splendid sue
cess of the battleship Dreadnought.
The fact that turbines are being in.
stalled in the kings new yacht, now
under construction, indicates the drift
OF admiralty feeling. and with the ex-
cepHon of some minor craft. such as
river boats, etc, turbines will be all
powerful in the navy. Russia is re-
ported to be laying down to huge tur-
bine battleships.

Ottawa. Feb. 1.-The annual report
of the department of the interior has
been issued today There was an in
crease of S697, 439 in the gross reve-
nue. of the department as compared
with the previous year, and the area
of land disposed of by land companies
holding grants from the crown was
nearly double the acreage sold during
1904-5. These results. the report says.
should be considered the strongest
possible ground for the prosecuting OF
the land and immigration policy Of
the administration with increased Wig
or. The total revenue from dominion
lands for the past decade was Sl3,l39,-
941 as compared with $2,343.S34 for
the preceding ten years. The home
stead entries for the past year repre-
sent a total population of 105. 400 souls
over $4,000 of them immigrants who
came TO Canada last year and settled
on government lands. The report says
that a contract was entered into with
the Robbins immigration company Of
London for immigration of 3SO.57S
acres lying TO the west of Medicine
Hat. This will greatly assist dis
trict which requires irrigation to de-
velop its full possibilities. The aver
age price obtained for school lands in
Alberta was s11.55 per acre and in
Saskatchewan s14.32 per acre.

There are two ways TO remove consu

bowels with powerful, gripping, drastic
cathartic that injuries the coating of the
bowel channels and produces an early
return of the trouble in a more chronic
form. The right way is to use a natural.
easy and mild laxative that tones mp and
strengthens the bowels and leaves .
healthful influence behind it. Prickly

as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics
