THE ORCHARD VERDICT.

Judge Woods recommendation
that the death sentence of Harry
Orchard be committed to life i'm
prisonment must be viewed with the
gravest disapproval.
The court records its conviction
that Orchard testified fully and
fairly to the whole truth. His guilt
is therefore regarded as indisput-
able, and there is nothing whatever
to actually palliate Orchards ad-
mission of crimes which can scarcely
be paralleled for deliberate inhu-
mainly or wilful degradation.
The quality of mercy is noble,
but the most serious exception
must be taken to the grounds on
which Judge Wood recommends
mercy The defendant acquired no
equitable title to mercy by testify
ing to the truth. There is no such
thing as an equitable title to
mercy" And the idea that the
state owes immunity to the criminal
who confesses and testifes is
strongly to be repudiated.
Judge Wood conceives that no
good purpose can be advanced by
Orchards execution. If punish
ment were simply protective this
belief might be indorsed. But
Judge Wood overlooks the moral
value of retributjon and it's effect
on possible Grim; mails.
The Communication of Orchards
sentence will in essence be immunity.
AS such it will be direct affront
to the community that has been
outraged by the base uses to which
Orchard was put, and which he so
callously and abominably served.

Chicago, March 21.-A suicide pact.
involving probably dozen inmates
Of Bethesda Home for the Aged, is
believed to have been revealed by
the death of John Koch, who died by
his own hand after ridiculing John.
Haselbach, who failed In an attempt
at self-destruction. The motive for
the pact is the bankruptcy of the
home, private institution into which
many Of the old folks, friendless and
alone in the world, had paid their
savings of lifetime, expecting to be
cared for till death. AS result of
the bankruptcy the aged inmates are
face to face with restitution Mrs.
Mary Mann, matron of the home, Is
convinced that a poison bottle" was
passed by Koch to some one else in
the compact, whose identity will be
disclosed only by another case of sui
eide. Mrs. Emma Bausch, one of the
supervisors of the home, predicts a
number of addition n suicides, al
though she has dissuaued three that
had avowed such a purpose. Koch,
who was sixty-eight years old, paid
5000 to the home. Others of the
twenty-one inmates paid into the In
stitution as high as $4,000 each. Some
of the most wretched and helpless of
the old people at the home have been
taken away and provided for by the
Little Sisters of the Poor.

Berlin, March 2'.-There was an

this remark jeering expressions were
heard from the gallery, some Of which
appeared to come from the division
set apart for the press. The entire
Center party at once rose to it's feet
in indignation and Herr Broeber, the
Center leader, pointed to the journal
tstic tribune and shouted the wor,

uproar, whereupon the president rang
his bell and threatened to clear the
galleries.
Later the representatives of the
press met and passed a resolution of
protest, which was read to the house
by Heinrich F. Mueller, member from
Meinening. This closed the incident.

DRUGGIST SAYS 1T
HURTS OTHER MEDICINES
People Here Are Not Taking Less
Patent Medicine and More
Home Remedies.

There are more cases of kidney
trouble here now than ever before,
while recent reports show that
more people succumb each year to
so ne form of kidney disease than
any other cause.
When there is sickness, examine
the urine. Rheumatism is only a
symptom of kidney trouble. It is
nothing more or less than excessive
uric acid in the blood, which the
sluggish inactive kidneys have
failed to sift out, leaving it to de-
compose and settle about the joints
and muscles, causing intense suffer
ing; frequently resulting in deform-
ity; often reaching the heart when
death ensues.
Pains across the back, frequent,
painful and suppressed urination
and other symptoms of weak blad-
der are not the only signs of kidney
trouble; many cases of stomach dis
ease, headache, pain the in heart, in.
active liver, etc, are but symptoms,
the cause of which can be traced to
feeble, clogged kidneys.
A simple test of the urine is to
void small quantity in bottle or
glass and let it stand over night;
next morning, if there is reddish
brick-dust sediment, or white, feecy
substance present either consult
some reputable physician or take a
good vegetable treatment. The fol-
lowing prescription is recommended
highly in these cases, and the suffer
er should mix it at home: Com
pound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce.
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime.
Where any Of the SYMPTOMS emu
merated above are present, good
results are sure to follow immedi-
ately the use of this simple prescrip-
ton.

THE SPRING HAT.

She was after hat.
Just simple spring bonnet
With the brim bent or fiat
And some flowers upon it;
She had looked all the morn
For she went shopping early.
But some hats reused her scorn
And some hats made her surly.
There were wonderful brims,
There we're crowns that we're quainter.
There were marvellous trims"
Though the hues might be fainter.
There were hats that were plain
And were daintily simple
Though not anyways vain
In delight she would dimple.
When she tried on each one.
For they truly became her;
(She was pretty. and none
Who beheld her could blame her.)
There were hats whose high price
Any purse would embarass.
There were hats neat and nice
Just brought over from Paris.
There we're hats that had things
That were sewed on and tied on.
Hats with flowers and wings
And all Of them she tried on.
And the saleslady gushed
And the saleslady battered.
Though she said she was rushed.
She denied that it mattered.
Still no bonnet was quite
What the lady was seeking.
Some had not enough height.
Others. made her look peeking,
Others were quite too low
Not in price, but demension)
Others didn't quite show
Any art comprehension.
But at last she found one
That became her completely.
I'll take this; I must rum"
She decided. quite sweetly.
And the saleSlady's roar
We put down to her shame here:
Its the hat that you wore
Long ago, when you came here!"

in jail here charged by his affinity
wife, Julia Kuttner-Earle, with beating
her soon after che birth of their baby.
made an effort to free himself today
and will seek a reconciliation with his
wife.
While it is probable hat his brother
will provide the 81, 900 bail required. it
is not believed that his wife, for whom
he cast off his first wife, will forgive
him and return.
In sending for her brother, who
caused his arrest and saw that he was
securely locked behind bars, Earle said:
He is mistaken. 1 am not as bad
as I seem. Do not forget what l say
that my wife and myself will be living
happily in our home, from which / was
taken, within forty-eight hours"
When Earle was first locked up he
insisted on pleading guilty. went to Jail,
refused to ask for bail and declared his
intention of waiting in Jail until he
would be sentenced. But now he has
weakened and desires his liberty and
a reconciliation with his wife.
The affidavit of Mrs. Barry, aunt of
Mrs. Earle, on which a warrant for
Earle was obtained, is said to be a
most sensational document. Justice of
the Peace Carpenter. of Monroe. has it
entombed in his safe and says he
doesn't propose to show it.
Although Earle minated yesterday
thai he knew where his wife was and
had written to her. it was learned hat
he sent the letter to her brother and
then besought the brother In a tele-
gram to forward it to her.
