stronger again this morning and selected
heavy hogs sold as high as $3.50, the high
est price Of the year to date. Still the
market was uneven and while some kinds
were higher, others were no more than
steady and some possibly weak. There has
been a good deal OF sameness from day to
day in that the trade has been rather slow
and of an Indifferent character, still prices
have been gradually firming up. The bulk
OF the hogs today sold at $500 40. 1t was
about where they sold yesterday, but the
average market Is 7l9G10c higher than the
close OF last week. While the trade was
not active, pretty much everything changed
hands in good season.

that he had come running across the
yard toward the house, with gun in
his hand and crying, aNow, Cd
you, I'll get you:" she and Earl Ray had
run upstairs; from there she saw him
pointing his gun up at the window,
wbereupon she fired and killed him.
Rays gun was not cooked when Mr..
Parker saw 1t.
SELF DEFEEsE, SAID JURY.
The coroner's jury reported as follows:
''We, the jury, find that Ghas. Ray
came to his death on aJanA- rs. 1905.
from gun shot wound, said gun hav-
ing been fired by Mrs. Fannie Ray in
self Defense"
Prosecutor Bright then filed q com.
plant with Justice c. F. Lyons charg-
ing Mrs. Ray With manslaughter. Mr..
Lyons fixed Mrs. Rays bond at 5000,
which was very quickly raised and she
returned to her home. Her preliminary
hearing was set for next Tuesday.
The quarrel of the Rays had forced
itself upon the attention of the people
in various ways, during the past year,
SO that hardly person for miles around
was unfamiliar with the divorce pro-
ceedings instituted by Mrs. Ray last
summer there was hardly time when
one or the other Of them was not before
the court in some case resulting direct.
ly from their domestic troubles. The
divorce was denied Mrs. Ray by Judge
Dabbs on the ground that Ray was
mentally irresponsible for his acts
Many outsida parties were ready to take
sides in the matter and each had 80
many partisan adherents that there was
little chance Of reconciliation, such
as the court urged them to effect. Mrs
Ray would not stand for charley's pres
ence on the farm and charley would
not stay away, 80 trouble was inevi.
| table.
The general opinion is that Mrs.
Ray took the only course possible under
1
the circumstan ces, but there are some
who refuse to believe that Ray had any
intention other than to thoroughly
brighten his wife, and in support of
this theory they call attention to the
fact that Rays gun was unlocked de-
spite Mrs. Rays statement that he had
it pointed at her when she fired. They
also state that Ray passed by many
chances to kill her, even after he had

FINGER PRINTS.

Old Practice.

Ola Practice.
Finger print registration is in
some respects very aacient prac-
tice in Asia. In old Japan the mi.
kado sealed documents of state BY
smearing his forefnger with YER
million ink and impressing it on the
paper. 10 prevent passports being
transferred the Chinese wrote the
permission to travel on an oiled pa
per bearing print of the bearers
palm Of the hand. Deeds disposing
OF land were similarly stamped BY
the venders thumb. In India as
long ago as 1860 Sir William Her
schel instituted system of finger
prints at Hooghly as the directest
and most certain means of identify
ing the parties in the transfer of
land in Bengal and of preventing
them from false personation or re.
Pudiation of the bargain by requir-
ing them to affi1 their finger prints
to the entries in the land register.
1t was Sir William Herschers use
Of this old oriental practice which
led Francis Galton to take up the
study of finger prints as a means of
identification. By research and the
examination of thousands of finger
prints Mr.. Galton raised the prac-
tice into science and first drew
public attention to its possibilities
BY an article in the Nineteenth
Century in 1891. A few years later
it was adopted by both the govern
ment and postoftice of India as a
means of establishing Identified
ton beyond dispute, matter of
the utmost difficulty with natives,
whose faces always appear as like as
two peas to European eyes.
Military and civil pensioners
must now finger print the receipts
Tor their pensions, and the impress
sion must correspond with that in
the register before payment is
made. Medical certificates are sim
ilarly rendered useless to bearer,
and candidates sitting for civil serv-
ice examinations must finger print
each set of papers they hand in.
Indians emigrating under the labor
lct also impress their thumb on
heir engagement contracts, and
pilgrims setting out for Mecca are
ikewise given an identity they can
lot deny.-London Chronicle.
