is RELATED TO MAUDE
Only This Mule Died in Place of
Gaining Usual Victory.

Fletcher Norris, farmer residing
south of Rose Hill, was an owner OF
a big Missouri mule, which he be-
lieyes must have been blood rela,
tive of Maude, the mule OF the funny
paper fame, by reason of her stub
bornness and actions. But unlike the
Naude mule, the one belonging 70 Mr.
Norris did not come through all the
encounters with flying colors, and a
few days ago she became fractions
laid down and died of pure mulish
ness. rh@'
The animal, which was large one
was hard to hold, and Mr.. Norris mac
sent to Chicago ror bit, expressly
for the animal. One day last weef
he started to drive the mule and its
mate to a field for a load of hay. The
bit seemed to hold the animal al
| right with two men handling the lines
They reached the hay STACK, and Mr.
| Norris was loading the hay, when the
mule became fractions and started Il
climb on the hay stack. Frank Nor
ris, standing nearby, pickec up pitch
| fork and struck the animal across the
face. The blow bounced off like ;
drum stick does from a snare drum
| and the animal refused to bulge. HI
then hit the mule again on the side
of the head. The animal lunged ant
fell to the ground, falling in a heap
In a few minutes it was dead. Exam
iration showed that the blow did no
kill the animal, as it was not heav!
| enough. Bystanders opined that thu
animal was just stubborn and diet
Others thought the blow had killed thu
animal, and Norris and his son, Frank
aged eighteen years, were arreste'
for cruelty to animals. Fletcher MOI
ris was arraigned before Justice {
Woodruff Friday afternoon and plead
ed not guilty. After hearing his stor,
as above, Squire Woodruff though
Mr.. Norris was not to blame, hav,n
had dealings with mules of the sam
variety, and he released the defend
ant from custody.

If either should become law, suffi-

EHH
Senators are not slow to deal in
sarcasm and scathing rebuke on the
floor of the Senate; and nearly every
day sharp colloquys enliven the tedium
Of debate. The other day, Senator
Root, who usually has something to
say when he gains the floor, took a
poke at Senator LaFollette, suggesting
that it wuld be well for him to con-
fine himself Ito simple, plain, direct
statements, and refrain from declama-
ton, refrain from discussion of home
consumption, and utilize the time in
the transaction of business" Which
insinuation the Wisconsin man prompt
ly resented, closing his remarks with
the assertion that he had not uttered
a word for home consumption" and
serving notice on the senator that ne
would take some time to further dis
cuss the provisions of the tariff bill,
notwithstanding the views of the sen.
ator from New York"
Senator Money, of Mississippi, then
got busy, and, in somewhat lengthy
speech, defended Lax gillette and told
Root that, since ne was a new man,
IL was entirely out of place for him
to tell the senate now to conduct busl-
ness, or how individual senators should
conduct themselves-in short, that he
(RoOt) was to be seen rather than
heard.
Senator Money Is rapid speaker
and does not enunciate clearly, so
that the official reporter has to seek
seat nearby when he speaks. lie
Is stickler for the traditions" OF the
senate and spurns any suggestion
that business methods" as advocat-
ed by Mr.. Root, should govern the de-
alterations of that august body.
Senator occasionally gets into the
debate, but in a very mild and meek
way. However. it is expected that,
before the tariff bill is out of the way
he will break out into one of his old
time frey harangues.

COAL BUSINESS IS BETTER
DECIDED IMPROVEMENT NOTED
DURING PAST WEEK.
Wholesale Preparations For General
Trade Later On Are Found in
Number of Lines.

Chicago, May 22.-The Black Dia-
mond today says: Taking a broad
view of the coal market situation, it
can be said q decided Improvement
has been noted within the last week.
In the east, where conditions were
somewhat demoralized by the pres
ence of coal formerly held on specula-
ton, the surplus has been cleaned up,
and the market begins to right itself.
lin the Pittsburg territory the factor
les are increasing their outputs, the
iron and steel trade is stronger, and
the consumption of coal heavier. In
the lake trade, which is still held up
what better because sales have in
creased in the Northwest. From prac-
tically every other point the same in
'dications are seen, the trade is at
least hopeful, if not Immediately
prosperous"
General Business Hopeful.
New York, May 22.-Bradstreet's to-
day says: Weather conditions con-
tinue irregular but change for the
better has occurred in staple crop con.
ditions and retail business is slightly
improved, though disappointing and
showing evidences of the depression
heretofore evident. Recorded bust
ness from jobbers and wholesalers has
been rather quiet but, if anything,
a more assured optimism permeating
the reports as to the outlook for the
next fall and winer's trade. The best
reports as to retail trade come from
the upper part of the great central
valley and its tributaries. Business
failures in the United States for the
week were 219, against PA last week
and 2S4 in the like week of 1905"
