murder. The jury found no reason

was justifiable.

Mrs. Florence l.. Fuller. and cow

witnesses OF the killing and their
testimony tends to show that Pace
killed Harris in self defense, believ-
ing that Harris was about TO try to
take his life although it afterward
developed that Harris had not gun

Harris Was Driving Cattle.
According to the story told at the
inquest by Mrs. Fuller and Bert
Graham. and Pace is said to tell the
same story. these three persons on
Sunday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock
were riding along Fulier's. Lane
They had been inspecting some cattle
on the mesa owned by Joe Pace and
Mrs. Fuller. Not far from the mouth
of Fuller's Lane, according to the
testimony given by Mrs. Fuller and
Bert Graham. they saw Joe Harris
riding along near the fence to one
side of the road. They testified to
the effect that Harris was in the act
of driving some cattle, owned by
Mrs. Fuller and Joe Pace, from a
field owned by Harris.

An English inventor has devised
a process by which it is possible to
purify rock salt direct, and on a
basis which is not commercially
prohibitive, declares Popular
Mechanics. Hitherto, in prepar-
ing white table salt from rock salt
it has been necessary to depend
upon the evaporation of brine.
The new process consists of melt
ing the rock salt and then driving
Impressed air through the mol
ten mass. Impurities are separ-
ated and deposited, and the salt
is left white and pure.

Without question the republican
party has on it's hands the most
stupendous problem that has con-
fronted it for more than decade,
the revision of the tariff. The
hope has been pretty generally
expressed that the revision may
be accomplished without undue
delay. However, fear of the effect
Of delay should not be permitted
to prevent intelligent discussion
Of the schedules and therefore a
real revision that will satisfy
public opinion. At present it is
impossible to know anything on
the subject and not until the dis
cussion has been taken up in the
newspaper and by, the commercial
bodies throughout the country and
until Congressman begin to hear
from their constituents will the
real public opinion be known.

The Judge in a most important
criminal trial in New York a
case involving the life or death of
two men-permitted the jury to
separate and go to their homes,
unguarded, every night during
the trial. He said he saw no rea-
son why a juryman should be
more likely to be improperly in
fluenced than a Judge. If his
point of view can be esta blished
it may serve to raise the standard
of intelligence of juries. The

which makes them close prisoners

The New Orleans States saws

| A year or two ago much was said
OF the great benefits the farmers OF
| the country were to derive from the
| manufacture of denatured alcohol on
their farms and its use for lighting
| and fuel purposes and as a motive
power for their machinery. 1t was to
cost mere trifie and be a source of
profit to the farmer, but we do not
hear any of that kind of talk now,
AS soon as denatured alcohol was
placed on the free list regulations
were framed of such character that
the little farm distilleries were throt
tied, and the business was concentrat-
ed IN the hands of large corporations.
To-day it is said that the market for
denatured alcohol is controlled by the
D1stlllers' Security Company, and the
report of a branch of this concern
shows the payment of per cent divi-
dends on its preferred stock and the
accumulation of more than $500. 900
applicable to dividends on the com.
mon stock. There are no small pro-
a. GERS anywhere in the country and
the price of denatured alcohol is more
than twice what the government ex-
perts estimated it would be if the tariff |
duty was repealed. Therefore the
farmers in whose Interest the legisla-
hon was supposed to be, are receiving
no benefits whatever and thew are not
using the alcohol for light and fuel.
The fact is they have, as usual. been
very cleverly duped."

Ever since coinage was estab-
lished in this country the principle
has been followed that the face of
a citizen should not appear o" the
coins, and the recent decision to
substitute the portrait of Lincoln
for the Indian head on the cent
marks decided departure.
Washington opposed the use CT
his portrait on the coins of the
United States. The Senate favor
ed placing the portrait of the
President on the silver dollar and
many busts were made of WASH
ington by the engravers in 1891
1892. but none were ever approved
by him and the head of Liberty
was finally adopted. The major
ity of the early American states
men regarded such use of
portrait as a monarchial practice.
