DIED FROM.EXPOSURE.
Old Judge Sans Dies In lizard County,
Aged About 100 Years.

Judge j. j. Sans, who was
about 100 years of age, and no
doubt t h o Oldest County
Judge in the State, died several
days ago from exposure, follow
ing his rescue from the burning
home Of his son near Oxford,
lizard county.
Judge Sans, who was quite
feeble, in fact, practically help
less, had a very narrow escape
from being burned to death in
the house. He was rescued with
the greatest difficulty, but the ef-
forts Of those who rescued him
proved fruitless, as the exposure
in the rain and cold resulted in
his death a few hours later.
Judge Sans was County Judge
of lizard county in the early iif-
ties.

NOT IN POLITICS.
Sharp County Farmers Union Passes A
Resolution To This Effect.

At the recent meeting of the
Sharp County Farmers Union at
Center Hall the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
"Whereas, as it is a fact that
this is a year when politics is
calculated to be one of the mat
ters that our people will have be-
fore them, and, whereas, it has
been an argument by some that
oppose US that the Farmers Ed
ucational and Cooperative Union
of America is sure to- drift into
politics, therefore, be it resolved,
that we, the delegates of the
Local Unions Of Sharp county,
assembled in the Sharp County
Union on this January 1S, 1908,
do declare that we have ever re-
Trained from mixing in politics as
an organization or from pledging
our support as such to any can
didate, and that we expect to
hold to this policy, and that,
aside from the elevation of he
that labors to a higher plane Of
citizenship and the praoticing Of
the Golden Rule, we may en-
dorse or recommend measures,
but not men.
"Be it Resolved, that we de-
bar all party literature from be-
ing distributed in our County or
Local Unions, believing it has
tendency to excite politics and
would cause a break in our Or
der.
"Resolved, that a copy Of these
resolutions be sent to the county
papers for publication"

Believed Outrage Was
Planned and That Infer
nal Machine Explod-
ed Accidentally.
Many Suspects Arrested
Following the Attempt
Yesterday to ASSasSis
nate Persian Ruler.

TEHERAN, Persia, Feb. 1s.-AnOthsr
bomb was exploded in a secluded street
here today and two persons were killed.
The explosion Is not yet fully ex-
plained, but is believed 20 have been ac-
cidentaI, the bomb having probably
been intended for use elsewhere.
Several persons suspected OF compile
ity in yesterdays plot to blow up the
Shah, with a bomb, were arrested to-
day. The police viii give out no infor-
nation, but II is rumored that one or
two OF tho prisoners are men OF high
rank.
Much apprehension exists that the at
tempted assassination marks a renewal
OF the troubles, which recently con-
vulsed Persia, a result Of the liberals
resistance 10 the Shah's efforts u over
ride the constitution granted by his pre-
decessOr.
Though the ruler has ostensibly ac-
guessed in a constitutional government
ma NJ OF his subjects think he still plans
a / @turn to absOlutism at the first fav-
or tile opportunity. Besides the three
u embers OF the Shsh's suite killed and
the twerty-one wounded by the bombs.
ii IS no. learned that a dozen or more
persons n the crowd Of spectators.
which lined the street were wounded by
shots the guard fired into the throng
directly after the explosions.

ThYoWer of Bomb
In BuenOS Aires
Thought Insane

BUESOs AIRES, Argentina, Feb.
29-Solano Regis, the half-bIood who
threw a bomb at President J. F1guerOa
AlcOTta. rs the latter alighted from
his carriage in front OF his residence
early last night, IS being examined
by a commission Of alienists today.
Though 1t is believed he will be
found insane, the police think IL pos
sibIe anarchists may have taken advan-
taRe of his mental indrmity TO use him
es their tool ia an assassination plot.
he is being closely questioned TO de-
termine whether there is ground for
this suspicion, but thus far sticks TO
his original story that he had no ac-
complies.
The other men arrested Immediately
following Regis attempt are held pend-
ing the result OF the would-be assas-
sins examination. Their identities have
not yet been fully established, and
there Is no case against them beyond
the suspicious manner in which they
were lurking about the Presidents
home.
That the bomb failed TO explode is
attributed 10 its construction It was
made from a paint can, but the nature
OF the explosive II contained has not
been definitely determined owing TO
the difficulty Of handling II safely.
AlcOrta was marvel of cOOluess,
turning. after he had kicked the bomb
10 a distance, to reason with Regis, 30
whom he was talking when his aide-de-
camp. Captain Arabia, seized the man.

promise.
at the Salon of 1903.

An amicable agreement has been
reached by Mrs. Mary Page Hufty and
her husband, Attorney NaIcomb Hufty,
whom she sued for maintenance in the
District Supreme Court Thursday.
Today Attorney Henry E. Davis, rep
rCsenting the beautiful Mrs. Hufty, ap-
peared in court, and announced that
his client wished TO drop the proceedings
against her husband.
While neither OF the parties to the suit
viii discuss the matter, il is said At
torney Hufty has agreed to his wife's
demand for 500 month. Mrs. Hufty
did not ask for divorce. nor were
papers looking toward a permanent sep
aTatiOn filed by her. The chief cause
of complaint was the attorneys alleged
prediction for ardent liquors.
Friends of the husband and wife say
the suit was dropped because OF the
nOtOriety given the case. 1t is said a
reconciliation will follow.

GAS REDUCTION
OBJECT Of BILL
OFFERED HOUSE
District Should Have 30
Cent Gas, Representa-
tive Gary Thinks.

That sentiment IS growing in Congress
for a reduction in the price Of gas in
the District OF Columbia, is proved by
another bill on the subject.
Representative William J. Cary Of Mil
waukee introduced in the House late
yeste.Eay afternoon bill to reduce the
price from 81 to 50 cents, the reduction
to become effective after May l. 1908.
Such a bill, coming from Mr.. Cary,
is especially significant, because. as a
member OF the city council Of Milwau-
kee, he went through a long fight IN his
native. city, which resulted in his people
being given 75-cent gas. He is one Of
the few experts on gas IN the House,
and knows whereof he speaks.
Not only does he favor the reduction
Of the price OF gas, but he also is in
favor OF the passage Of bill repeating
