A COSTLY APRIL.

The unfortunate weather of the past month has cost the country many millions of dollars. The fruit crop has been almost destroyed, the early vegetable crop is practically ruined, the early berry crop has been greatly curtaileu, truck }Sfarm- CTS have suffered severe losc <, and the wheat and cotton F. T'asve been injured. 1 {gists e.
 The blight has been genei .4.| To the south and in more northern zones the effect has been the same. The New York Commercial has this to say: What is going to be the outcome of this cold weather? It is question that is being asked very seriously right now by the horti- culturists and the farmers of the country. It is the most unseasona- ble April in many years, The lapse into winter last week, while ap- parently being of pure transietory character, bore destruction on it's breath in many localities. Nor is there any assurance that the mild CT atmosphere of the present day may not be shrouded by another snowfall or nipping frost before the week is over. It does not re- | b0 fo inc the oldest inhabitant' to assure us l that it is all very remarkable. 1 Nature, in the ordinary course of events had, as usual, provided for the regular rotation of the seasons. To all intents and purposes spring had come. The sap went up in the trees and the buds sprouted forth. The result is that the fruit crop of 1907 is going to be ineXpressibly short-in some localities there will be nothing of it--it will be an ut ter failure.
 Truck gardeners. promoters of ear ly fruits and vegetables, are the mos direct and immediate sufferers. Their losses amount to hundreds of thous ands of dollars; nor can they we'll re pair them. The transition from win ter to summer is likely to be sudden As to the effect of the snows and win ter on the general agricultural situa tion of the country, that remains to b. if the finale has been reached; but i
 we are to be the recipients of renew ed samples of hold-over winter weath CT, the general crops can hardly es cape it's i'll effects

THE "BLACK HAND"

Several decades ago one ol lhc foremost American statesmen pred!ct- ed grave national danger in unre- stricted immigration. He warned the American public that the currents of Europeans that poured into our ports were contaminated with the worlds worst criminals seeking to establish in tbis too free country the bloody or ganizations that flourish in especial luxuriance along the Mediterranean coasts. He pointed out that these anarchists did not understand Or ap- preciate the spirit of liberty which has been fostered in America and that some day we would have to reckon with them.
 Such warnings have been disre- garded, Our federal officials were blind to the situation, and while the game of politics went merrily on the foreign criminals were more securely establishing themselves in our centers of population. Today we are begin ming to reap the whirlWind. From many sources come reports of out rages against peaceable citizens which the authorities are powerless to avert. The hideous Black Hand. which IS an organization of Italian criminals has broken out afresh. It has already a long list of shocking atrocities to its credit where it's victims have re- fused to submit to blackmail
 Of all those secret criminal organl- cations which are preponderantly ltal- ian in membership, the "Black Hand, is the worst. It conducts a system of brigandage that knows not a single element of, mercy or pity. The increase in the activity of this organization i'll this country has been amazing. Hun dreds of men have been murdered, ac- .cording to the Kansas City Journal, property has been destroyed and chill dren Kidnapped because the demands of the members of the ''Black Hand' for money were denied. How many people have been frightened into pay ing this blood tribute. will never be known.
 That the 'Black Hand' and kindred organizations of foreigners are the fruits of our lax immigration system cannot be denied. It is true that even strict espionage could scarcely keep some of the criminals out of our coun- try, yet their depredations would be more limited and less bold if the gov ernment had taken precautions against them in time. Every time some anarchist attempts the assassination of president the country rings with horror and resentment. But under our beneficent system of doing noth- ing We are encouraging these assass- nations.

RABBI E. FRISCH
 AT HIGH SCHOOL
Received With Enthusiastic Alp. plause by the Student Body.
 Presented Three Subjects.

The pupils of the High School heard a very interesting and in- structive address this morning, de- livered by Rabbi Frisch. It's or iginality was refreshing, as we'll as inspiring. He presented three sub- jects tersely and effectively, "Sep- aration,'' Participation '1mmola- tion and Appropriation
 He argued against the separa- tive idea in life and favored the participation in affairs by every one. Immolation was the sacrifice of our time and energies for selfish purposes-either in acquisition or personal devotion to exclusive iden- tity in industrial or professional life.
 Participation in social, conner cial religious and civil affairs was the ethical duty of every citi- zen.
 Appropriation was necessary element in life-building. We should be jealous and apt in appropriating to ourselves the good thoughts and wise precepts and examples of others.
 Rabbi Frjsch is evidently a man of wide research and profound study and he weaves into his lee lures rich tissue of information gained from close companionship
 with the great thinkers of the world. His lecture was received
 With enthusiastic applause by the student body

JURY ACQUITs
 SLAYER OF YANCEY
John HI. Henderson, Who Killed Col. J. c. Yancey, Prominent 7 Lawyer and Stockman, Is
 Again Free Man.

Batesville, Apri. 27.-The jury in the case of John H. Henderson on trial for murder in the second de- gree, reached an agreement early this morning and returned a verdict of acquittal. Henderson, a peace able citizen of Oil Trough, during last December, had an altercation concerning some corn with Col. J.. c. Yancey, a prominent lawyer and stock raiser of this county, and in the quarrel drew his revolver and shot Col. Yancey in the heel. Blood gering several months, Col. Yancey died from the effects of his wound.
 The case has excited considerable interest in this city and has been the most important case tried at this term of court. The defense was represented by Attorneys Old field and Cole of Batesville and Gus Jones of Newport and for the state were MT. Jeffery, the prosecuting attorney, and Samuel Casey of Batesville and Col. Murphy of Lit tie Rock. Col. Murphy delivered splendid and forceful closing argument yesterday.
 The case went to the jury yes terday afternoon and the jury was out about fifteen hours.

No state has suffered more than Tennessee. In Kentucky and Alabama and Georgia it is as in Tennessee. The fruit crop will be very small. The early vegetable crop is so near ly ruined as to necessitate another planting. This means delay III tbe supply and an increase in the prices. The damage to the wheat, corn and cotton crops is probably not as serious as at first reported, and both ought to recover if there is seasonable weather lsoop.-Nashville American.

HOW TO GET FAT.

The government of the United States in a benevolent desire to help it's citizens modify their physical beings to ideals of sym metry and grace, has turned the battery of it's scientists loose on the subject of how to get fat or thin, as the case may be.
 It is safe to assert that nine out of every ten people are dissatisfied with their weight. The fat want to be leaner, and the thin want to be thicker. Not only this, but eight out of the nine are sensitive about the deficiency or amplitude of flesh, as may apply to each in- dividual case. It often requires very nice and diplomatic adjust ment of phraseology to suit these respective persons. Recognizing, no doubt, these difficulties on the part of it's citizens, the government has undertaken to come to their assist ance. Properly enough, it has fallen to the department of agri- culture to investigate dietary regi- mems in order to establish correc- tive rules and regulations for the citizens of inharmonious propor- tions. The result is embodied in the following observations:
 Too the fat man Nno wants to reduce his weight the government says: Eat little. sleep little and drink less'' To the emaciated man who wants to get into the heavyweight class it says: Drink all you can, eat all you can and sleep as much as you can. And this is about as far as the govern ment goes. Perhaps the eXperi- ments would have been pushed with more vigor had they been conducted in the department presided over by Secretary Taft
 From other resources we gather more detailed advice to persons af- f1icted with too much flesh or too little. Now is the time to get thin, 7 says the expert, for hot weather is a powerful aid thereto. In addi- tion to this climatic assistance there are plenty of anti-fat produc- ing vegetables in the market which the fat man may eat with impunity. The diet of the fat man should con- < sist of eggs, toast and coffee with t out sugar for breakfast; a simpl' piece of meat or cup of consomme and some fruit for luncheon. For dinner he may have any kind of meat and tomatoes, spinach, cu- cumbers, onions, radishes, etc. That ' isn't so bad. The thin person should eat potatoes, peas, beans, bread and butter and take sugar in his coffee. We may expect to see a radical change in the aspect oi humanity after few months of this new form of government regulation

There have been twenty-five presidents in the 11S years that have elapsed since Washington's first inaugura- tion. Virginia has furnished five of these and Ohio three. Virginians have occupied the White House a total of thirty-siX years, and Ohia9s a little more than eight v ]. Tennessee leads Ohio. It
