JEFFs RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION

The miserable newspaper press Of
America, which has failed to appre-
ciate the noble senator from Arkan-
sas, Jefferson Davis the Second, is
deseryedly scourged by that SPLEEN
did statesman in a speech in the SEN
ate, The following is a sample OF
his utterances.
Gods living truth, where are its
defenders? Miserable travesties up
on noble manhood, postgraduates in
all arts OF SANDER or defamation!
Go! damnable imps OF pelf and
greed ] defy your taunts! Tear to
fragments my political career If IL
comport with your execrabe will.
Stifle and distort my every utter
ance. Not satisfied, If such be your
further pleasure, gnaw from my stiff
fleming bones every vestige Of quIv-
ering flesh. Howl in wretched bes-
TALLY through my own innocent
blood as 1t drips from your fiendIsh
visages. Drag then, If you want,
what remains into the filth and ver-
min OF your foul dens and burn it
upon the altar OF Baal or scatter Il
before the friendly winds of heaven
to your betters--the carrion crows

Rev. G. L. Morrill,, pastor of the Peo-
pies church, was forced to appear
in his pulpit Sunday with one eye
bandaged and with his sermon un-

preacher was homeward bound Sat

badly cut across the right eye by the
rim OF a hat worn by a girl who
rushed BY him to board a street car,
A doctor cauterized the wound and

district court here for tho spring
term As the civil docket is now
crowded with cases and as the grand
jury will probably return a consid-
cradle amount OF criminal business
to be acted upon at this term of
court It will take hard work with
few recesses TO get through with the
docket in the allotted six weeks. The
necessity for dispatch on the part OF
lawyers, principals in case, witnesses

sized by the judge this morning.
Exhaustive Charge 90 Grand Jury.
In charging the grand Jury this
morning, Judge Browning gave a
survey OF the statutes with which the
grand jury might properly have to
do, and emphasized those portions
which he considered especially i'm.
portant to the Jury at this term. Du-
ties of public officials OF all kinds
he reviewed at some length and
pointed out possible infractions OF
the law by precinct, county. city, or
other officials or persons acting in
official capacity, such as election
judges and clerks. Sunday selling
he took up and pointed out that the
law forbids the transaction Of unnec-
essary business by all individuals.

Ject of perjury. He dwelt at length

lence of perjury in the trir of cases
For Safe School Buildings.

greatly emphasized was included I'M
der the head OF defamation OF public
Judge Browning stated
that for the past few months he had
been in the habit OF having the
grand jury in a body visit the public
school buildings OF the city in which
they were sitting. Especially since
the Collinwood school disaster. he
said, he had made an effort 10 in
sure better conditions in regard to
the safety OF school children and he
councilled the grand jury to visit the
in Amarillo to see whether
the exit doors swing out as they
should, and to see whether suitable
means Of escape from the buildings
In case Of fire are provided. The
grand jury, he advised would not
make indictments If such defects
were discovered, but It could make
recommendations to the court and
the court could enter suitable Or
5ers. Such buildings might, he ex-
planned, serve the community well
till some such accident as that which
caused the horror at Collinwood, and
when too late, it would be discov-
cred that in few details the build
