VOODOO SIGN CAUSED SUICIDE.
Superstlhous Test Applied to a Man Accused Of Murder Drives Him to Death
Red Stain on the Weapon, Mistaken For Blood Is Really Rust

was applied or not. He told where
his gun would be found, and it was
brought into. court.
The Coroner and jury adjourned to
the woods near by, and the gun was
loaded and discharged. Hursh stood
by, apparently careless of the results.
Following the firing Of the gun the
jurymen crowded around it to exam
inc 1t for the sign. A murmur arose
among them, and the suspense was
more than the prisoner could bear.
He turned to the gun to examine it,
and the man who had suggested the
voodoo test pointed to a red stain
near the muzzle of the weapon. Hursh
became agitated and seemed on the
point of making a dash for liberty
when he was seized by a deputy.
Without further investigation the
party filed back into the court room,
where in a few moments the jury
held Hursh responsible for the kill
ing, and Coroner Lewis signed the
commitment. I
When the prisoner saw that he was
to be sent to jail on the strength Of
the voodoo test he took a sharp knife
from his pocket and with one stroke
ended his life.
Subsequently careful examin-
alton of the red stain on the muzzle
of the gun was made and beyond any
dSubt 1t was established to be moth
ing but rust.

UPWARD START
After Changing From Coffee to Pos-
tum.

Many a talented person Is kept,
back because Of the interference OF
coffee with the nourishment of the
body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as Is
often the case with talented persons.
There is a simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils, and a Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines Is worth
considering. She says:
Almost from the beginning OF the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach. BY
the time | was fifteen I was almost a
nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung,
no strength to endure the most triy-
ial thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything I
could eat that would agree with me.
The little | did eat seemed to give mt
more trouble than it vas worth. I
finally quit coffee and drank hot wat
er, but there was SO little food T.
could digest, l "a literally starving;
was so weak could not sit up long
at a time. -
1T was then a friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. ! | drank part Of
it and after an hour l felt as though,
/ had had something to eat - felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Pos
tum in place of eeffee and gradually,
getting stronger, to-day l can eat and
digest anything | want, walk as much
as | want. My nerves are steady.
81 believe, the first thing that did
me any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and l use it alto
gether now instead Of coffee"

DESPERATE KILLS SEVEN
Himself Burned in House in Which
He Took Refuge.
Day of BIoodshed in Oklahoma Town
Police Official the First Victim
Sheriff Shot Next.

Okmulgee, Okla.-James Dechard,
a negro desperado, quarreled with
Steve Grayson, an Indian boy, and
beat him with a. stone until he was
insensible. The scene of the quarrel
was the station of the St. Louis and
San Francisco Railroad. Friends of
Grayson called the police. Assistant
Chief of Police KIaber went to the
station, and then Dechard fed to his
house, near by, and b%arricaded him
self. When Klaber approached the
house Dechard shot him dead.
Sheriff Robinson gathered depu-
ties, among them a number of ne
groes whom he commissioned, and
advanced on Dechard's house.
AS the attacking party approached
Dechard began shooting with a rifle,
firing as rapidly as he could load his
weapon. The sheriff fell first, in
stantly killed. Then five of the ne
gro deputies were slain.
Dechard's house was soon sur
rounded by a frenzied mob of armed
men. Fire was set to a house just
uOTlu VI DSCudIo o.. fOllCyS VI u
lets were poured into Dechard's house
and he was shot down. He was seen
to roll over on the floor, strike a
match and set fire to his own house,
which was soon a roaring furnace, in
which his body was baked. Dechard
evidently had a large quantity Of am
munition stored in his house, for
many cartridges exploded while the
house was burning.
The dead: - Chapman, colored,
and his brother; James Dechard, col
ored; Henry Klaber, Assistant Chief
of Police; Edgar Robinson, Sheriff OF
Okmulgee County; three unidentified
negroes.
The injured: Victor Farr, chief Of
Sioux, shot through shoulder; Steve
Grayson, Indian boy, probably fatally
beaten. 'fN. -"
A deputy shoriff's arm was broken
and seven others were slightly
wounded.

LATE EVENTS MEAN A MODERN CHINA
Prof. Hirth Calls Chinese Born Parliament
tarians--PrediCts Progress.

"Yet Tsi-An played~a valuable part.
It almost seems she saved the nation
in 1898, when by a coup d'etat the
young Emperor tried to crowd on
China in twenty days changes which
the nation would have needed az
many years to digest.
"Yet, the Emperor being highly
appreciated by the party Of reform
and progress, her seizure of the reins
Of Government and suppression Of
new ideas cast a gloom over the spirit
of the empire. And little as we know
the new characters on the Chinese
stage, it is fair to believe that both
extremes-conservatiye and progress
sive-will hold themselves In check,
and will wait to see where the Gov
eminent is tending. All depends on
events; 1t Is impossible to state what
will happen; n can only speak OF
probabilities. 4
But the tendency, whether calm
or violent, will, I feel sure, be toward
liberalism. These two deaths have
cleared the course for China. There
is much talk of antagonism toward
Manchu rule, yet that antagonism Is
a thing of recent years; It has been
greatly heightened by the relations
between the Emperor and his aunt,
the Dowager. I believe now that that
antagonism will calm down for the
time, and will, If the new Govern
ment gives satisfaction, die out.
''The talk is Of a Constitutional
Government. I think, and have al
ways thought, the Chinese we'll fitted
for it. They have always appeared to
me to be born parliamentariahs. Ger
tainly they are as well fitted for lib
eral institutions as any Oriental ma
tion-better fitted than the Turks or
Persians, as well fitted. I think, as
the Japanese. But I believe they will
model their Government on the Jap
anese Government, and that the
stages of their progress generally will
be peaceful.
1.-THE present Government has a
strong liberal party behind 1t, and the
radicals are too much in the minority
now to do any harm. So many strong
men, both liberal and radical, are
with. the Government that I do not
foresee a serious outbreak" r

Wool is raised extensively In all

form of fleece and is highly priced as
a protection for both bulls and bears,
who are often too thinly clad fopatheif

Wool is obtained from sheep that

occupation in itself, but is only q
means toward an end. Most OF It
is imported to other countries. but;
occasionally traces of It are found
in our domestic wooden underwear.
