EDITOR SLEEPS WITH CORPSE.
But the Icy Touch Mas Too Much for
Him and He Flees.

Junction City, Ky.-Major James
Morton, editor of the Hardemann Free
Press, unwittingly went to bed with a
corpse in Junction City n night re-
Gently. He had missed his train and
going into the hotel asked for a room.
The clerk said the house was crowded
but assigned the editor to a room with
another man. BY mistake the clerk
tent him to the wrong room, and the
editor quietly disrobed and got into
bed.
Soon a young man and woman came
In and took seats near an open win
dow. The major thought the proceed
ing strange, but said nothing. Listen
ing to what they said he heard the re-
mark about sitting up with the dead.
Then he remembered that his bed
mate had not moved and reaching over
touched his hand. With a yell, the edi-
tor rushed out of the room with a shee
over him. The party in the room ran
excitedly to the office, where explana-
lions were made.

Meyer Comes Unannounced.

Denver.-Charles H. Meyer, presi
lent of the Western Federation OF
Miners. arrived in the city and went
Immediately to his home. Mr.. Meyer
was accompanied by Mrs. Meyer and
her sister.
The reason for his delayed home,
coming is that he desired to have no
demonstration of any kind. 1t is his
Idea that such things are unnecessary
and do no good.
Owing to the strain to which he and
Mrs. Meyer have been subjected. they
have kept closely at home, denying
themselves to everybody. Mr.. Meyer
will attend the next meeting of the ex.
ecutive committee of the federation.

No department of government, GER.

No department of government, GER
tainly none represented in the presi-
dents cabinet, is less open to partizan
political criticism than the department
of agriculture. Sometimes there is a
hubbub about free seeds. for which
congress and not the department is
responsible. Beyond that the com
plants are few and the blessings are
many. Secretary Wilson says that
during the fiscal year just ended the
department has made discoveries
which will benefit the American peo-
pie to the extent of millions of dollars
"a sum too vast to calculate. Some
of these discoveries are patentable,
and If the patents We're held by the
discoveries would make them rich.
But all such patents, after being taken
out in the name of the inventors, are
dedicated to the United States for the
common good.

Congress having provided for an in.
crease in the artillery force of the
army, 81 new companies of coast
artillery are to be formed. These will
be stationed at various points along
the Atlantic, the gulf and the Pacific.
Experience has shown that more men
were needed to care properly for the
big guns in our forts. The additional
companies, with the national guard
organizations, which have had very
successful tours of duty at the forts.
will serve to obviate danger in case of
an emergency. The country will have
both the guns and the men needed.

Electricity continues TO extend its
usefulness. New Jersey has found it
the most expeditions and humane
means OF putting an end to stray and
useless dogs. Hitherto the dogs have
ben asphyxiated in a big gas tank.
But the society which looks after such
things finds this is cruel and by no
means infallible. Sc Plainield leads
on by substituting the electric kennel
for the gas receptacle. By this means
the CANNES are sent painlessly and
swiftly to death and the bow-wows
cease from spreading fear of rabies,

Never So Prosperous

The prices of stocks have been cut down because those prices had been carried too high, and they were there fore reduced to normal, at which point they stand at present. The flurries Ill Wall street should not be permitted to create misapprehensions as to the general situation. They should be taken for what they really are, level ing down to true values.
 The stock market depression has no relation to a general depression, that is plain. for the country is full of pros perity. The government vaults are loaded with surplus money, and Secre- tary Cortelyou is kept busy in putting it into the general circulation.
 The latest reports from the banks show increased deposits. The postal receipts are running to unprecedented figures. We can not make pig iron enough for our own uses, and imports of it are increasing. Railroad gross re- ceipts are wholly satisfactory, and gen eral trade in every branch is up and doing.
 Instead of studying Wall street quo- tations let the wayfarer study the de- mand for pig iron and the gross re- ceipts of the railroads. In that way he will arrive at correct estimate of the general condition of the country. The growing crops are improving, and no one outside of Wall street has the blues No one has any occasion to have them.

HARTMAN ALTON
 DEAL ID BE PROBED

Washington, D. C., June 1.-Develop- ments since the conference at the White House last Friday evening in which the President and Attorney General Bona parte, Secretaries Root, Taft, Cortelyou and Garfield and Interstate Commerce Commissioners Knapp and Lane and United States Attorney Kellogg of St. Paul participated, make it probable that the government will begin proceedings under the antitrust act against E. H. Hartman and his associates for viola tions of the law in connection with the so-called Chicago and Alton, the Union and Southern Pacific transactions and perhaps in connection with the Southern Pacific and the San Pedro traffic agree ment. The contemplated prosecution of the bituminous coal carrying roads, how ever, will likely await the result of the action by the courts in the case to be brought against the Hartman roads. It is alleged that there are some important questions that are common to both cases and therefore it Is asserted that the suits against the bituminous coal roads will not be brought until the courts have ren- dered judgment In the Hartman cases.
 In the event of an adverse decision, as to the common points and if the govern ments decides that the law, as it stands, is inadequate to fully cover the case it Is more than probable that Congress at its coming session will be asked to amend the law so as to meet the present situ- ation. Harriman's investigation has not been made yet, the action of the depart ment of justice in filing its bill or bills will necessarily be somewhat delayed. It is said until the question of advisability of bringing any suit attacking the vali dity of the Hartman Alton transaction is one on which the interstate commerce commission Is divided and as a result of this difference of opinion two reports of the commission are probable. At the White House conference last Friday even ing Commissioner Knapp and Lane, who are understood to hold opposite views on this question, explained their respective positions at some length. The President and Attorney General Bonaparte, however, have kept well informed on every phase of the disclosures that have been made at the hearings of the interstate com merce commission and while great weight would naturally attach to the views and recommendations of the commission, it is believed that both the President aud his attorney general have reached the same conclusion, namey--that the evidence sub mitted justifes action to restore the orig inal status.
 In the meantime however, an action will almost certainly be begun to compel MT. Hartman to answer certain questions deemed important, which he declined to answer at the hearing of the commission held in New York and in the west some months ago

AFFIRMS SENTENCE
 OF MRS. BIRDSONG

Jackson, Miss, June 1.-The supreme court today delivered its decision in the case of Mrs. Angie Birdsong, affirming the decision of the lower court. Mrs. Birdsong was charged with the killing of Dr. Thomas Butler at Monticello on De- cember IS, 19o6 and sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary, under a verdict of guilty of manslaughter. Chief Justice Whitfield delivered the decision, which was participated in by Associate Justice Mayer, Associate Justice Calhoun dissenting. The opinion was brief and concluded with the following words:
 ''As men, our deepest sympathy goes out to this most unfortunate appellant; as judges, We are bound to pronounce the judgment of law. The right of pardon, the divinest attribute of the Deity. is vested not in us, but in the governor of the state"
 Immediately after the decision of the court was made Governor Vardaman granted Mrs. Birdsong a respite which will act as stay of execution for thirty days, ili which time she can arrange and have published her petition for pardon, as the law requires. Mrs. Birdsong left this evening for her home at Mendenhall, and already numerous petitions are being circulated In her behalf
