Long before the hour set for the

An hour before the trial began the

every entrance guarded by police. Only

Outside, crowds waited to get a
glimpse Of the prisoner as he passed
over the bridge of sighs. 1t was only
a tIeeting glimpse Of a shadow outlined
on an Opaque sheet Of glass but the
curious had waited hours to see that
shadow and they were satisfied.
Thaw came to his trial for the MUIR

Kanaas Imdorses Parole System.

The annual report Of the Kansas State
penitentiary takes strong and ia favor
of the parole system which has been
under experiment for two or three years.
The officers say that persons discharged
in this way are kept in restraint and
strengthened in manner that aids them
TO become good citizens. Few persons vio-
late their parole and few are afterward
returned for new crimes. On the other
hand, two or three term persons are gen
orally found TO be those who have been
discharged without restraint, Warden
Haskell says that the parole law has
passed the experimental stage and that of
49, persons thus released only thirty
five violated their promise. The penitcn-
tiary was run at net profit of $674,-
916 in two years. 1t cost s 3-5 cents q
day to feed each prisoner, owing to the
quantity of food raised on the farm.

Findings of Investigating Committee.
Following is the report of the Gam
BILE Investigating comnittee:
The joint committee on investigation
appointed under the provision Of house
joint resolution No 0 respectfully re-
port that they have investigated the
rumors, statements and charges made
and published concerning the Hon.
Robert J, Gamble member of the
United States senate from the state of
South Dakota and the Republican
Nominee for reelection before the
tenth session Of the legislature Of the
state of South Dakota relative to keen
ing his son, Ralph a. Gamble. upon
the pay rolls of the United states SEN
ate while the said Relph A. Gamble
was attending school at Port Deposit,
Md, and while congress was in session,
and the committee find from all the
proof submitted the following facts:
l. That Ralph A. Gamble was an
emplcye of the United States senate
as folder for $40 per month from Aug.
4, 1902, to jan %, 1908, under an APP
pointment made by the sergeant at
arms of the United States senate upon
recommendation of his father, Hon.
Robert j. Gamble, and for that period
received a salary amounting in the ag-
gregate to the sum of $40750.
2. That Ralph A. Gamble was an
employee Of the United States senate as
general messenger at $3.50 per month
from June 4, 1903, until Nov. 4, 1908.
under an appointment made by the
sergeant at arms of the United States
senate upon the recommendation Of
his father, the Hon. Robert J. Gamble
and for that period received a salary
amounting in the aggregate to S615.65.
3. That Ralph a. Gamble was an

portation routes TO the seaboard from
July /, 1904 until JAM IT, 1905. at
$12O per month unders an appoint
ment made by his father Hon Rob-

4. That during the time mentioned
in findings Nos. /. and said Ralph

being admitted, it follows that John f.
Stevens, the enginee" in charge of the
construction of the canal, would not be
made subordinate to another official ON
the isthmus.
There have been stories of disagree
ment between Secretary Taft and Shonts
and it has been said that the President
has not been satisfied with him. Stin,
these stories have always been denied at
the White House and in the War Depart
ment, where it has been consistently held
that Shonts was in perfect accord with
the President and Taft.
When Mr.. Shonts went to Washington
it is declared he did not at all realize
that the actual control over the digging
of the Panama canal had been officially
placed in the hands of the Secretary of
War. Out of this misunderstanding of
official status there grew a social tempest
which has dubbed up more or less in ey-
cry ) o'clock teapot in Washington.

shooting of Stanford White by Harry

Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, the artist

work of the civil Service.

The annual report of the civil service
commission says that the practice of
leyying political assessments on govern
ment employees has been discontinued,
but thinks that public servants are still
far too active in politics. The commits
sion held $50 kinds OF examinations for
various positions, and of the S4,a91 per-
sons who competed in the educational
tests, 59,1l5 passed Including the non
educational tests, 122,034 persons were
examined, Of whom 9J,035 passed. and
41.S77 were appointed. The decrease Of
%, 500 in the number examined is thought
to reflect the prosperous condition # the
country.

rpvirorate the Digestion.

To invigorate the digestion and stimu-
late the torpid liver and bowels there's
nothing so good as that old family remedy,
Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use
for over a century. They cleanse the
blood and impart new vigOr to the body.
One or two every night for a week will
usually be all that is required. For Con-
situation or Dyspepsia, one or two taken
every night will in a short time afford
great relief.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine lax
alive tonic pill your grandparents used
and being purely vegetable are adapted to
every system.
Sold in every drug and medicine store,
either plain or sugar-Coated.

Revenue Laws.

The tinkering with the revenue laws
has commenced, Lee of Codington
having introduced his bill to extend
the time of taxes to become delinquent
from March and October first to April
and November first, taking the po-
sition that the farmers will be in bet
ter shape to meet their taxes on the
new dates than on the old ones. Hare
of Pennington has introduced two bills
which start at the other end of the
line, in which he asks that the date
for fixing of assessment be changed
from May first to March first, and that
the assessors be put into the field in
March and April instead Of May and
June as under present requirements.
