Speaking of all this howdy-
do about Senator Simmons votes
on the lumber and other sched-
ules of the tariff bill, a we'll
known and influential Democrat
remarked on the street here the
other day that so certain is he
that Senator Simmons and those
who voted as he did are right
that if he were a member of
Congress from this State he
would have resigned his seat
and come home before he would
have voted except as they did.
Instead of criticising Senator
Simmons and the other DEM
ocrats from this State who voted
as he did-all of whom, Oh cruel
fate! are to be forgiven except
Senator Simmons-Congresman
Claude Kitchin might we'll con-
slider how he is to explain salts
factorily his vote, against the
best interests of his State, to
place on the free list a product
into the manufacture of which
everything that enters is taxed.
Those who have been so smart as
to discover that Senator Simmons
is wrong (?) have talked and
written themselves into a posi-
ton where they will have to ex-
plain more than they can, salts
factorily. Senator Simmons is a
better Democrat and safer lead
er still than the majority OF his
critics.

Intoxicants Sold On River.

Memphis, Tenn.-According to esti- mates of river captains Sunday prac- tically one-tenth of the population of Memphis "beat" the prohibition laws, recently enacted by statewide legis- lation prohibiting the sale of intoxi- cants of all kinds. This was the esti-
 mated number of people who patron ized the monster Mississippi river steamboats with covered decks and with federal licenses providing for the sale at any time of any and all beverages on the nayigable Father of Waters" Big and little boats touched at the local landing just long enough to get a load. Government
 officers were there to see that no yes sel was oyertaxed. The moment the middle of stream was reached the sale of beverages of all descriptions commenced in full view of the latest state in the Union to enter the "drys."

BIG BLOW AT PANAMA
Canal Town Is Visited by Storm and
 Lights Are EcIipsed.

Panama-A tornado of unusual se- verity occurred here Sunday night,
 doing much damage to property The electric plant in Panama was put out of commission and the city was
 left in darkness, which served to increase the alarm. At the time there was a great crowd at the National theater, at which Maria Guerrero, the noted Spanish actress, was perform ing. The performance came to an end, but the audience remained com paratively quiet. Many of the resi- dents who were unaccustomed to such storms, left their houses, seeking safe ty within the churches, the doors of which were thrown open to shelter the crowds. Photographic eommunica tion has been interrupted and adviees are meager as to the damage wrought throughout the isthmus. It is feared that the interior and coast towns have suffered considerably The govern ment has dispatched two steamers to make an inspection of the coast.

Will Be Tried at Litte Rock.

Little Rock, July 13.-Earl Dill, who is charged with committing an as- sault upon Miss Ray Burkhalter in broad daylight in the Pythian hall at Fifth and Main streets several weeks ago, will be compelled to go to trial before a jury maue up of citi- zens of Pulaski county. This was de- cided Monday night about s o'clock when Judge Lea, after one of the most determined legal battles ever made in the local courts on point of this character, overruled the mo- tion for a change of venue filed by the defense. Immediately after Judge Lea had ruled on this motion, Lewis Rhoton of the firm of Bradshaw, Rho- ton & Helm, who are representing Dill, notified Judge Lea that he de- sired to file a motion to postpone the trial of the case for two weeks He declared that this did not constitute a formal motion for a continuance, but simply request that the trial be postponed for two weeks in order to enable the defense to make neces- sary preparations.

active by deep inhalations, thus loos- ening the tension of unemployed mem- bers. The persistent and regular prac- tice of a breathing Exercise will not only do this, but will give poise and self-confdence
 The movements of respiration stand in a double relation to the nervous system, being required to introduce oxygen into the blood, which takes up the oxygen, and freeing itself of the carbonic acid it contains, the latter thus acts as a powerful stimulus to the lung nerves.
 One should remember to avoid col lar-bone breathing, to cultivate the raised and active chest, and to gain control of the diaphragm in order to have complete mastery of breathing.
 It is not necessary to take long, tiresome trip to some far away place in order to be taught to care for oneself, for nature will come to ones aid with joyful alacrity in one spot as well as another.
 But knowledge is not the only thing required. It is it's application that counts. and this means steadfast de- termination.

There will be fewer fiat-chested wo- men and much less nervous prostra- tion when proper attention is giving to breathing, says an exchange. As DeIsarte has said, there should be strength at the center, freedom at the surface," and this freedom IS but acquired by learning to use ones lungs at will. By developing and en- larging them the thoracic cavity is in creased, and upon the degree of this power depends expansion.
 In order to control ones nerves one must learn to command ones involun- tary muscles, which are diaphragm, the heart and the intestines. By breathing deeply and controlling ones breath and so increasing ones lung capacity, the heart action is stimulat- ed, and this supplies the nerve centers with fresh blood, and the nerves act upon the muscles and the brain upon the nerves and muscles.
 In order not to have any waste of nerve force. the chest should be kept

 'Lessure trembled violently but did not reply or raise his eyes. The march to the scaffold continued A deputy was forced to support the tot. tering form of Farrar while the sheriff adjusted the black cap. Then the sheriff stepped back and all was in readiness for the fatal word when Lessure sprang forward and cried in an agonized voice:
 Stop! I alone am guilty-I alonen
 The officers of the law called him forward and demanded an explanation. He declared that Lucille was not dead but that they had run off and been married and his wife was then living in concealment in St. Louis, for fear of the wrath of her father and until he could settle up his affairs and join her. But he had not divulged to

her plan which had formed in his brain to revenge himself upon her father both for his insulting words and for the death of his own parent. He had cut off a portion of her hair while she slept and dipped it in the blood of lamb. He had also sprink- led blood over pieces of her dress. The hatchet was easily procured. These he had placed in the cave dur ing one of Col. Farrar's numerous ab- sences from the house and there also he had himself emitted the moans which had been heard. He would have carried his hellish plot through to the end but that the colonels plea for forgiveness at the gallows un- nerved him.
 This confession was made partly at the place of execution and partly afterward in the jail. As soon as it became clear that Lessure had an i'm. portant statement to make the sheriff turned to the colonel to take the in. signia of death from his head. Far rar, unobserved by all who were in tent upon the words of Lessure, had sunk into sitting posture. The sheriff stepped up to him and raised the black cap. He was dead.

Kansas City-With hundreds of travellers delayed in Kansas City awaiting the movement of their trains which have been delayed because Of washouts due to the heavy floods prevalent in Missouri and Kansas, the railroad s.uation became serious Monday.

This action was taken by Secretary Nagel as the re- suit of an investigation into the 'ef- ficiency reccrd" of the employees in his department.
