CARTWRIGHT
IS INDICTED
GRAND JURY EMPANELED TODAY
Indictment Will Not be Returned
Before Tomorrow.
Cartwright Will Probably Claim That
His Mind is Affected and is Not
Prepared for Trial.
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY.

FROM TUESDAY, DAILY.
Empaneled for the purpose of
examining the case OF J. w.
Cartwright, charged with wife
murder, the special grand jury
is sitting at the court house to-
day hearing the evidence of such
witnesses as they have been able
to get before them. If an indict-
ment is returned it will not be
before tomorrow and several days
may elapse before the grand jury
completes its investigation of the
case.
Circuit court was convened
this morning by Judge Eugene
Lankford, all of the regular
court officers being present ex-
cept Prosecuting Attorney F. E.
Brown and Stenographer H. r.
Whyte, who came in on later
train.
Judge Lankford made explicit
instructions to the grand jury cn
the subject of homicide, COM
menting upon the fact that
swift and exact justice is the
bsst remedy for the mob spirit.
The jury then retired to consider
the case.
The jury as sworn in is as fol-
lows:
John Rowlett, foreman, S. A.
NOVEL;, ]. c. Mum, M. E. Con-
nell, w. J. Hargis, ]. w. Han
cock, J. NJ. Rowlett, F. J. Snow,
Thos. Powers, c. d. Blackwell,
J. B. Hona, J. D. Townsend
John Gavin, Wiley Wilcox, G.
w. German and w. O. Durham,
the latter being sworn in in
place of J. B. Henry, who was
detained by illness.
Cartwright's Probable Defense.
Cartwright was brought to
this city by DeputySheriff J. S.
Johnson last night. From
rather disconnected statement,
made by him this morning, it
is assumed that Cartwright's de-
fense will be insanity. " My
mind is in such a shape that l
amt able to say anything" he
said to The Log Cabin Democrat
man this morning. 81 amt slept
any since four nights before it hap
pened. l haven't slept much in
twelve years. That is how long l
have been married. have had so
much trouble since then that my
mind amt right. l don't claim
insanity, but you see how my
mind is. When asked as to
what were the immediate causes of
his mental condition he said, 81
was drinking on the 25th. l don't
know much since then. Il
don't know whether it was the
25th of July or August he an
swered to the next question. q
don't know how long l have been
in prison. )"
Cartwright expressed fear that
the mob would get him yet. II
haven't made any arrangement for
trial, he said, Il never allowed
I'd get trial before that mob gets
me" He said he had employed
no attorney and had no money to
pay one. At his request number
of local lawyers were mentioned and
he asked Jailer 10 Harrison to send
Col. c.. w. Bruce to him.
Cartwrights father, 7. w. Cart
wright of Higden, and a cousin,
Frank Cartwright of Otto, are here
and will propably look after his
interests.

Only Five Years Old
The Faulkner
County Bank

Was organized little over five years ago, and dur
ing this time it has accumulated NET UNDIVID-
ED PROFITS amounting to $4,000. .oo-thls
with its CAPITAL of $50, 900 90 makes it, in this
respect, the LARGEST of any Bank in Faulkner
County.
We are proud of the success of our Bank, and
we are very thankful for the confidence the people
have shown in us by their liberal patronage.
Owing to the few years that Bank has
been in business, and policy of confning most
of our loans to our home people, it has not the
statewide reputation that some older banks claim
to have. We are not, however, soliCitous for such
reputation, but we are VERY ANXIOUS to be
known by every man, woman and child in Faulk-
ner County, and have them customers.
AS public institution we feel great interest
in the development of our town and County-well-
knowing that our continued success depends large
ly upon the prosperity of all the people through
out our county.

COAL AND WATER TRANSPORTA-
TION.

While it is urged in some direc-
tions that water transportation makes
no difference in Burlington's coal
facilities and prices as compared with
some of the coal producing companies
themselves find water transportation
The S7th annual report of the Lehigh
Coal company says hat preparations
are under way to compete sharply
with the Reading by transporting
tonnage via canal. According to the
report a study Of the canal situation,
both as to its business and physical
features, was carried on during the
year, the results Of which were so
satisfactory that it has been decided
to increase the equipment by the ad-
dition of fifty new boats during the
coming year, this number to be again
increased during 1903 If the addition
al business during 1905 seems to war
rant it.
a careful and systematic investiga-
ton of tho problems of canal trac-
ton, with a view of the ultimate sub
stitution of mechanical for animal
towage, was also carried on upon a
practical scale, the conclusion being,
the report states, that an expenditure
for this purpose will be abunjantly
justified with an annual traffic of
$50 900 to 500. 900 tons. to which point
it is though probable that the bust.
ness of the canal can be developed
during the mex two years.
Water transportation is coming TO
be more and more recognized as an
important factor in the development
Of trade and commerce., as witness
the efforts made by President Roose-
welt and the leading men of the coun-
try who are now dcvoting so much
attention to the promotion of the i'm
provemcnt of the nations waterways.
1t is to be hoped when the enlarge
pleted, there may be a different story
from that told at present.

VERMONT IN THE NATIONAL con-
XENuION.

Everybody familiar with Vermont
why the E%nosburgh Standard is so
pronounced in its opposition to rep
ton in Congress on the States dele
CATION to the republican national
convention; n Misrepresentation Of
the attitude of the FREE PRESS will
not serve to obscure the cause Of that
opposition.
The FREE PRESS has held thai the
coming national convention will mark
a crisis in the career of the Republi-
can party, as the party will have no
walkover at the polls and that in or
der to enable Vermont's delegation to
exercise its influence in that dclibcra-
tive body we should have at the head
of the delegation men in touch with
leading republicans in other States.
We ave held that the party must
continue to stand on the policies for
mulatcd by Roosevelt and embodied in
national legislation and the party's
creed, and that the big question un-
der these circumstances is what pro-
gressivc republican has the best
chance to win on that platform.
If Vermont at this early period
-, ptI tn 1,a Af
convention, is to insist that It's delega-
ton to Chicago must vote for Hughes
or Taft or any other man through
thick and thin. then it matters little
who heads our delegation to Chicago

Any man who can make himself hear
can stand on his feet In the nationa
convention and announce to the enc
that Vermont casts its eight votes fol
one man while the rest of the dele,

a winner.
Vermont learned in 1892 what i
meant to have people at home, wholly
~unacquainted with conditions exist,

ing on support of a man whom thu
delegates realized was likely to suf

story, but recalls some OF the famous
disasters OF the river, when boats have
been burned or sunk and lives lost. The
burning Of tho Henry Clay on the 18th
OF July. 1862. at Riverside, when sixty
hvcs were lost, was perhaps the most
notable OF the river tragedies. One Of
the lost was Miss Hawthorne, a sister
Of Nathaniel Hawthorne. the novelist
our author also recalls the fact that
when the Swallow, on her way from Al
'h'' " Wv III oh Nv evening "
April 1s45. ran on tho rocks nearly op-
posite Hudson (known to this day as
the Swallow rocks. and became a total
wreck. about fifteen lives were lost. Mr..
Ruckman's father, Ira Buckman. pur-
chased the wreck. broke it up and from
the material constructed a fine two
story house. at Valatie, N. Y, on the
old Pos. road. r is :till standing, and
is known as the Swallow house.
Racing between the boats of rival
lines was a frequent occurrence in the
old days, and was the cause Of many
accidents. The Swallow disaster was I'M
douhtcdlv duo to that cause. Finally.
public opinion compelled legislation
against the practice.
Mr.. Hucknan also describes the growth
OF barge travel, a popular method Of
transportation in the middle decades 81
the ninotoonth century. and has some
thing to say about fast time" on the
river. The present status of the bust

magnificent boats OF the river lines of
to-day are not forgotten.
Mr. Buckman tells his story with tho
directncss and fullness of one who not
only is complete master ot his subject.
but is deeply interested in it. He tells
his story well and with an unnagring
interest. He has given his readers a
volume Of unusual interest and value.

the republican nomination for the

UNEXPLAINED NEGLECT

One of the mysterious things in
connection with farming in Vermont
is thus emphasized by the Waterbury
Record:
Think of 1t. western hogs are being
shipped into this country to be dress
ed for the Montpelier and Barre mark
cts. 1t woul seem that the mt In
Washington County could raise suffi-
cient pork for home use. 1t is bad
enough to be obliged to depend upon
the western farmers for the best beef.
The same thing is undoubtedly true
of every other city and large village
In Vermont, and the wonder is how
long it will take our farmers to be-
come aroused to the Importance of
the opportunity they arc so persistent
~ neglecting.
There was a time, of course, when
II was as much as n Vermont meat
dealers business life was worth TO
buy a meat carcass outside of the
trusts circle of firms. but thanks "a
the crusade of the Roosevelt admins
tration against the beef barons that
time has passed. There is now no good
reason why our farmers should not
produce pork as well as veal and NUT
ton, to say nothing of poultry and
other meats for consumption here in
Vermont, and thus keep at home
money which Is going in large volume
to swell the pocket books of western
farmers and western packing houses

simple rules;
Keep your windows shut.
Avoid drafts as If they were a pesti-
lence.
Take no exercise between meals.
Battle seldom, and in warm water.
Wear, heavy hannels, chest protectors,
abdominal bandages and electric insoles.
Have no heat in your bedroom.
Never let anything keep you away
from church, the theatre or parties, in
winter.
Never go outdoors when it's windy or
rainy, or wet underfoot, or cold or hot,
or looks as if it was going to be any Of
these.
BE just as intimate and affectionate as
! possible with everyone you know who
has a cold. Don't neglect them on any
| account.
DR.. Hutchinson prove conclusively that
colds are scarcely ever caught where in
fictitious materials are absent; in fact,
he says the word cold Is A misnoiner
for the diseases to which It is commonly
applied, since science has demonstrated
that these arc not due, except in few
Instances, to exposure to a lowered tenn
perature. DR.. Hutchinson thinks they
ought to be called fouls" instead of
colds, because two-thirds of them are
due to infection spreading from one vic
tim to another. The best place to catch
them Is not out-of-doors. nor even IN
drafty Railways, but in close. stufy. in
fectcd hotel bed rooms, sleeping cars,
churches and theatres" The draft, &C
cordinE to this eminent authority, Is n
fetch and tho sncezc not n sign you arc
catching cold but proof that you have
contracted the disease some time pre-
vious and that it Is just beginning to
break out.
The best preventative for colds is the
iesh air habit which fortunately is
growing every year. Learn to sit in Il
gentle draft" says tho doctor, "an1
youll avoid two-thirds of your colds and
threc-fourths of your headaches. 1t may
be necessary in winter to warm the draft
but don't let any patent method of venti-
lation delude you into keeping your win
dows shut any hour Of the day or night.
The "no heat in a bed room dogma is
dangerous for the simple reason that the
room without any heat is generally the
ono whose windows arc never opened in
winter. the widespread delusion being
that because air is cold it is necessarily
pure.
Especially applicable to local conditions
are DIR. Hutchinson's theories regarding
ventilation of public gathering places.
He calls the 'odor of sanctity" in
churches the residue of the breaths and
pcrspirations Of successive generations,
and says that while cleanliness may be
next to godiincss there is sometimes ar
astonishingly long step between. He also
points out the need Of adequate vcntila-
ton in halls and theatres. and here Is
where his remarks are particularly time
~ in connection with the local question
of better ventilation for the town build
ing. This is a matter which ought &c
receive serious consideration from th'
voters at the coming town meeting. As
long as people won't stay away from
public gatherings when they are snufinc
and coughing it is Of vital necessity tina
