| District Attorney George N. Baxter
as his counsel. In making out the af-
| fidavit on the application for a change
of venue his lawyer swore the school
teacher to it. When he signed it
| Campbell and Murray eagerly glanced
at the paper. The signature, on which
SO much depended, was ]. K. HERES,
and, glad that their judgment was vim
! Dictated, the marshal and detective
shook hands and went out for drink.
| 1t was a tremendous load off of Muir
rays mind. The court denied the
change of venue, sought on the unjust
allegation that Commissioner Spencer
was friend of Canada officers.
Then began the battle for extradi-
| ton, which was destined to be fought
to finish. HERES was committed for
extradition and his cousin in White
Cloud joined forces with Col. Kerr
! and Mr.. Ryan. His counsel applied
for a writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Nelson. 1t seemed that when
Judge Nelson's father was judge of
the supreme court man named Kane
had killed some one in Ireland and
(! GSCdDcu
government sought to eXtradite him
and the case was carried to the SUI
preme court, which held that it was
necessary to have the president issue
an executive mandate to give the
commissioner power to try the case.
The counsel for HERES claimed
that the proceeding in the HERES case
nd Hic-
charged HERES. Murray's counsel ap-
pealed from the decision of Judge Mel
son and carried it to the circuit court
before Judge Brewer, later of the SUI
preme court of the United States.
Judge Brewer wrote a long opinion
reversing Judge Nelson's judgment
and ordering the prisoner back into
Murray's custody. The case is an au.
thority in extradition cases, and is
recorded in Federal Reports of the
/ United States, number SO, page 265.
The matter was fought out through
the courts in November and Deem
Der, 1887. At last the warrant of sur
render arrived, and on January II,
1888, Murray departed from ST. Paul
with "Chet-black' HERES, and handed
/
him over to the authorities of Berlin.
Ontario, on Thursday, January 10,
HERES pleaded not guilty to forgery
at the spring assizes, but was con.
victed and sentenced on March 20 to
seven years in Kingston penitentiary,
where his long flowing mustache van
isheG before the razor of the prison
| barber.
He had bleached his "chet-black"
hair with butternut dye, which gave
it nasty tinge of yellow. An action
he started against the sheriff in st.
Paul failed. Instead of reaping dam
ages through suing the Minnesota Of
fcer, J. X. HERES found himself reap
ing the fruits of his knavery within
the gloomy walls of the penitentiary.
And not the least Of his sorrows was
the cruel loss of that "chet-black
mustanche."

Liftino Power of Plantain Lear.

The power of the ordinary plantain
leaf is well illustrated in an article IN
the Strand Magazine by a writer who
constructed pitch floor as follows
The ground was scraped, and then a
three-inch layer Of sand was spread
over 1t, and on this sand a twoinch
layer Of soft roofing pitch was
placed. This had been down for sew
eral weeks when we noticed one part
of the pitch breaking open like a
miniature volcano. On examination
we found some green shoots coming
through the pitch. The shoots contin.
ued to grow in spite of the great heat
caused by the sun shining on the
black surface of the pitch. They finally
assumed a fourishiDg condition. 1t
should be added that before laying the
sand a sheet of heavy tar paper COW

expression about making a noise like"

gave instruction to officers of the New
York national guard doing duty in that
tour of camp. The first day he formed
the officers into a class in the big mess
hall. which was open at the sides, so
that all that went on inside was seen
and heard by the enlisted men pass
ing back and forth. In teaching the
officers how to give the commands Cap
tain Lyon impressed upon the class
the necessity of clear enunciation and
of making commands like an officer.

THE BISHOP STAYED.

The bishop of a southern diocese was
once making a missionary journey
through Arkansas and the Indian Ter
ritory, and on his arrival at Natchez
he said to the landlord of Q hotel. ST

and night, in a mail wagon, and | want
a comfortable ROOM"
Sorry" said the landlord. but I
don't believe there's a vacant room In
Natchez. There's a horse race. a
Methodist conference and a political
convention In the city. and every house
is full up. The only thing | can give
you is a shakedown." Then. observing
the bishops tired face, he added: 1.-THE
best % In my house is rented to a
noted gambler. who usually remains
out all night and seldom gets in before
breakfast. If you will take the risk
you shall have his room. but If he
should come in there'll be a row, I'll
promise you that"
The bishop decided to take the risk.
About A o'clock In the morning the
gambler returned and promptly shook
the bishop by the arm.
'Ger out of here or I'll put you Quit"
he shouted.
The bishop. the gentlest of men, rails
ed himself on one elbow so that 1t
brought the muscles of his arm into
full relief.
"My friend" he began quietly. 'be-

Father Fleming, who preached to-

Gen. Butler, paid an eloquent tribute
to Gen. Buffers services as a soldier
and statesman, and spoke, in affect
ionate terms of the man. In words
simple and beautiful, Father Fleming
spoke of the great deeds OF Butler
and Of those last hours, which Father
Fleming spent with him. Father
Fleming said in part:

with which he handled the political
questions which concerned the essen
tials of the recognized social life.
While he powerfully advocated obe-
dience Of the Reconstruction meas
ures as the law, as being preferable
to chaos, he receded at no time from
persistent opposition to infringe
ments on good government in secur-
ing the election of Gov. Wade Hamp-
ton.
In 1876 Gen. Butler was elected to
the United States Senate, where his
admission was met by storm OF par
tizan protest which is memorable in
the history Of the nation, but his car
eer Of 19 years in that exalted body
vindicated the good judgment and
patriotism of the State which deputed
him as it's representative.
In the stormy days Of sectional de-
bate in congress he was one Of the
foremost champions Of the South, but
at later period he was enabled to
make a splendid record in construc-
tive statemanship by his staunch ad-
vocacy Of strong navy, Of civil SER
vice reform and other measures now
settled in national policy.
In the United States Army.
After the expiration Of his service
in the senate, March, 1895, he engaged
in the practice Of law in Washington,
D. C. In 1898 he was appointed a
major general in the volunteer army
Of the United States for the war with
Spain, and after peace was secured
he served as member Of the commls-
sion for the removal Of the Spanish
forces from Cuba.
Maria Pickens Butler, the first wife
Of the deceased general, died several
years ago, and on January 4, 1906,
he married Mrs. Nancy Bostie Whit

came he accepted it with dignity.

ly praised for dash and enterprise.
As Senator he ranked with those
giving to the Office their best powers,
and all of their time. His associates
on both sides Of the chamber held
him in very great respect. As a
man he was courtly without being
stiff, affable and approachable, with
out being familiar. We have not
