HAS COIN FROM REIGN
OF THE TERRIBLE NERO

Yankton, S. D., June 6.--Pcrhaps one
Of the interesting specimens In the eX-
tensiye and valuable collection of old
coins presented Yankton college by A.
w. Westhorpe. OF this city, IS a mag
nihcent sestertius of Nero, with this in
terestinE inscription: Imp, Nero
Claud, Caesar Aug. Germ. L. NJ Tr.
XIII p, p" This abbreviated list OF
titles is found on the diverse. on the
reverse is seen the temple of Janus with
gates closed and the inscription: Pace
p. r. Terra Mario. Parta Ianuym
Clvsit s. c." All the Roman coins have
tlne portraits of the reigning emperors.
The gift also includes coins of an
cient Parthia, which country for so
many years withstood successfully the
whole power Of the Roman armies, de-
feating in one terrible engagement the
great General Crassus. Judaea is rep
resented with a widows mite" and
specimens from nearly all the modern
countries of the world are contained in
the collection.
A second part OF the gift is a collec-
ton of fragments OF Roman pottery,
which were picked up by Mr. Wes-
thorpe last September on his visit to
his native England at Ariconium,
Herefordshire, once an important city
under the Roman occupation and on
the direct road from GleVum CGlou-
cester) 70 Kenchester. The city was
destroyed II is said by an earthquake,
and was buried as are Pompeii and
Herculaneum. Mr. Westhorpe himself,
whose opinion as an antiquarian is Of
weight, is inclined TO believe from his
own examination at the site that the
destruction of the city was due 10 the
falling i'm of the iron mines conducted
at the spot, the catastrophe having
taken place (from the ceasing OF the
Roman coins picked up there) about
the reign OF Theodosius 395 A. D..
shortly before Honorius recalled the
Roman legions; the city was never re-
built and was forgotten.
In addition to the collection Of coins
and pottery Mr. Nesthorpe's gift to the
college includes = small collection of
Yankton county moths and butterflies.

William Archer, the noted English critic

II believe" he said, that reform SPELL
ing would be unanimously adopted If the
public would but weigh the matter with
an open, unprejudiced mind"
He paused and smiled
But no." he said The public's attitude
is such that it brings vividly before me an
episode that l once heard related in Lon
don by Mr.. Justice Darling.
The justice, as the trial of a certain
case was about to begin. started and said
suddenly:
" But there are only eleven jurymen in
the box. Where Is the twelfth?
THE foreman rose and held up his hand
with a soothing gesture.
" It's all right your honor he said re-
spectfully. The twelfth juryman had TO
go away on business. but he has left his
verdict with me-

YOuREx RECEIVES PAROLE.
COSmOpOIiS Murderer Released After
Serving Five Years in Pen.

Governor Mead has paroled William J.
Yourex, the North river rancher, who
was convicted of manslaughter June 6,
1902, in the superior court OF Chehalis
county.
Yourex was convicted of shooting Silas
W. Smith, constable Of Cosmopolis, who
died OF the wound. Chas. Y. Fenwick.
OF this city, who was at that time consta-
BILE OF Aberdeen, was also shot while as
sisting Smith in the arrest of YoureX,
and has never recovered from the effects
OF the wound.
The reasons given bv the governor for
the parole were, that Yourex was an old
man, was Union soldier, and previous
to the crime of which he was convicted
bore an honest and respectable reputa.
ton. 1t appears from the numerous let
ters and petitions accompanying the ap-
plication that there were grave doubts as
to the justification of his sentence, and
the opinion Of all the jurymen who have
been found is that Yourex has been suffi-
GENTLY punished.
