Deputy Coroner M. ! F. O'Neil last afternoon held an inquest over the remains of the negro, and negro jury eXonerat- ed Jones of blame for the killing, the jurors being of the opinion that Jones had acted in self de- Tense. According to the testimony offered before the coroner's jury 1 Jones went from the residence of ! Alexander to another part of the plantation to attend to some bus mess. About midnight he returned ] by way of the house of Andrew Dodson, a negro residing on the plantation, where a revival was in progress. The negroes were still

He went into the house and soon became invo,v7 ed in a controversy with Williams who objected to the-intrusion Of the white man. The men went in to the ward and Williams attack ed the foreman, who finally freed himself from the black and struck him over the head with lamp Williams retaliated with brick knocking the foreman down. He beat Jones seriously with the brick before he Was pulled off. Will Hams them eft and pr. Shart was

Carries Influence

Eureka Springs, Sept. 27.- AL though Carrie Nation has not talk en her hatchet and disturbed the peaceful quiet of the community her influence seems to be accom-. p.ishing results just the same, if one may judge by the unusual mum Der Of the half smoked cigar stubs seen on the streets lately. This state of affairs is accounted for by the model young men found here, it is stated who throw away their cigars when they see Carrie coming rather then offend her. It is true of course. that some people insist that the young men act so in order to avoid trou- be but it sounds better to say that they do it for po,iteness.

 Between People

Salt Lake City, Sept. 26.- In the nu,nit of the famous Norman tab ornac,e in this city, where four vears ago, Theodore Roosevelt at fbAt time president, preached a long sermon on right living and thp duties of good citizenship, Pres. Taft faced an audience which he said inspired him to follow in the footsteps of ae~5 predecessor and deliver a similar preachment.
 Mir. Taft did preach a sermon - text and all. The immense au- dience in the flag draped edifice the sp.endid musical program of oneratic and patriotic sections, the enthusiastic cheering as Pres. Taft, appeared and the quick re- sponses of the audience to points which he endeavored to impress, upon his hearers, inspired him, the nresdent declared with higher thoughts of country and patriot ism.
 The presidents sermon was an appea, for unity between the peo- pie-for attributing the best rath- rr than the worst motives to the action of others when possible to do so and not to harbor hatred or animosity.
 "A soft answer turneth away wrath but grevious words stir up anger was the text MT. Taft se- lected from the book of Proverbs. The sermon was home.y utter ance .arge.y made up of a relation of stories to give emphasis to the points,
 From the tabernacle the presi- dent was driven to review about 10000 schoo. chi,dren.. At one point along the line a thousand or more children had been arranged in a,iving flag, red, white and blue caps and capes serving to outline the national emb em.
 Thence the president proceeded to the ' MlC A where he made a brief address to an audience com posed entirely Of men. Lastly the president attended service espec- la-.y arranged for him at tho Un- itaran church. After this unus- ua!ly busy Sunday morning he left Salt Lake at noon for Ogden where he enjoyed an IS mile ride through Ogden canyon and made his third address of the day at Lester Park. n 4e@

Litt-e Rock, Ark, Sept. 27.- The beginning of the new week 1 linds the work on the new State Capitol building far advanced from what it was last week. An of the construction iron is now about in ? ace though some of the heaviest beams are yet to be slipped into pace. They are now part way in the building and some of them are so large that they resemble
 heaviest pieces of a large bridge construction Here and there bit of floor is yet to be re- moved but al 1.-the columns have been stripped at last and wire is being put about them for the con- crete reinforcement which is follow. The poor concrete work was plainly shown in the large columns torn out last week, there being pieces as large as full sized barrell being broken off by the bars and pieces which look as tho they should weigh a ton are much lighter. The cement also crum- CTS have most Of the new steel b,es easily at the touck Paint painted and carpenters are at work every day making the forms for the reinforcing of the beams. The entire capitol grounds are pied high with lumber to be used in scaffo,ding and other work. The saw mill which is used for sizing the lumber and cutting it up into lengths keeps five men hustling ev- cry day and the pie of strips piled outside Would do credit to a larger blaming mill.
