MANCHURIAN IARKS.
These s5Are Being Imported by an
Oregon Woman.


Manchurian larks will be liberat-
ed in Oregon next spring, and it is
believed the feathered songsters will
thrive In this climate. They will be
the first birds of the species ever
brought to America. Mrs. Fred D,
Fisher. wife of the American consul
at Niu-chwang, Manchuria, who
reached Portland short time ago
with her husband from the Orient
brought Is of the birds back with
her.
The larks will be cared for this
winter by Mrs. Fisher in Portland
and liberated next spring In Jose
phine county, Oregon. 1t is thought
that by turning them out in the
spring, after the winter has passel,
tney will have q better chance to
thrive in their new homes.
These birds, little known in Amer
lea, are rated as among the finest
songsters in the world. They are
about the size of native American
larks, but are the color of the wren.
Because of their splendid voices the
Chinese keep them In cages In their
homes.
This importation is the second OF
Chinese birds to the State of Oregon.
The Mongolian, Denny or Chinese
pheasant was brought to Oregon
from China by the late o. N. Denny,
of Portland, who served as consuI
at Tien Tin. The game birds were
liberated there 26 years ago and
have spread to such an extent that
they have become the States great

The shooting up of Brownsville,

Olivier testified he saw Capt. Mack
lin, whom he knew we'll, picking uDs
scattered cartri .ges shells the morn
ing after the raid. Et the former
inquiry Capt. Macklin testified ,thaa
the shells were foun1 in one place.
1t being alleged they were placed by
citizens in support of conspiracy

said he was sorry a Mexican ha5

Among other witnesses was Je-

merly keeper of the national ceme-
terry at Fort Brown. Powers said
he had a conversation with Maj. en-
rose, following the shooting, quot
ing the latter as saying he would
rather have lost his right arm than
have had his men do the shoot

to know which soldisfs did it.
That the officers of the negro reg,

by their men, was testified to by
Mrs. Kate Leahy, who said Lieut..
Greer told her the officers recogniz-
ed the reports Of the high power

RUNS AMUCK
AN OHIO MAN KILLS TWO PEO-

Shot and Killed His Own Mother

and an Officer and Wounded Two
Other People.

ing his mother and an officer who
had attempted to arrest him, and
probably fatally injuring another
woman and her husband, Clyde Wea-
YER, "a years old, Monday complet-
ed the tragedy by committing sui
eide
Weaver was declared by physi-
clans to be afflicted with "exaggerat-
ed ego." He was under suspended
sentence from the Probate Court.
Sheriff John F. Haber and Deputy
Sheriff, VIM. H.. Farra went to Mea-
vers home to arrest him. The ap-
pearance of the officers seemed to
drive the man mad. He opened fire
on them from an upper window with
shotgun and Farra fell wounded.
A moment later Weaver's mother
rushed from the house, crying. I'm
shot!" and fell dead at the feet of
the sheriff.
While Haber was trying to revive
the woman, Weaver walked from the
house to a woodshed into which
Farra had crawled, and fred twice
at the wounded officer, killing him.
He then jumped into the buggy In
which. the officers had reached the
house, and drove to the home OF
Levi Minnich, from whom he de-.
manded protection.
When Mlnnich hesitated. Weaver
shot Minnich through the Daca.
Weaver then turned on Mrs. Minnich
and shot her twice.
Armed citizens quicIry surround
ed the house and two deputy sheriffs
broke through the rear door. They
discovered the body Of Weaver un-
der bed. He had used his last bull
let to kill himself.
The condition Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Minnich Is critical.

HALLEY'S COMET.
Director of Yerkes Observatory De-
clares will Be No Ill Effects.


"These are the views Of Profes'
sor Barnard and myself as to the
effect of the earth's passing through
the tall of Halley's comet" said
Professor E. B. Frost, director of
Yerkes Observatory, at Williams
Bay, Wis, few days ago:
Present computations by Searle
and by Seagrave indicate the pas
sage of the comet between the earth
and the sun at a distance of 49,
900, 900 miles from the earth on
May 18, at 10 p. m, Central time.
The tall always points away from
the sun, and hence toward the
earth. At that tine 1t Is doubtful
whether the tail will be long enough
to reach the earth.
"Meteors are the debris of comets.
Therefore, IL the end Of the tail
reaches to the earth meteoric
shower may reasonably be expected.
Some illumination of the sky, lit
tie different from the ordinary
might occur. Computation indicates
the earth probably passed through
the tall Of comet on June 30.. 1851,
at 100000 miles from the head,
without any noticeable consequences
Comets undoubtedly contain
noxious gases, compounds of carbon
and nitrogen, but their destiny Is

should be produced In our atmos-

DECISIVE DEFEAT
FOR PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
TO ALABAMA CONSTITUTION.
Business Men Of State Say Failure
Of Constitutional Prohibition Does

ANOs AAASASS~SN
A dispatch from Birmingham,
Ala, says later returns from the
State indicate that Tuesdays majori-
ty against the prohibition constitu-
tional amendment will run above
$4,000. It appears that a vote of
not less than 125,OOO was polled,
the largest in the history of the
State.
AS the sweeping nature of the de-
feat Of the amendment is realized, !,
there Is a disposition in all circles
to see the result of it's probable ef-
'ect on future legislation in the
State. zea
Industrial leaders and business
men Of Birmingham are almost
unanimous in their belief that the
result was a rebuke to recent dras-
tic legislation and a declaration of
the people Of Alabama of their de.
termination to return t. conserva-
tism.
Leaders of the Birmingham cham
Der OF commerce believe the elec-
t!on will have the effect of bringing
great deal of Eastern capital tc
Alabama, which has been tlmid for
the past two or three years.
Leaders Of the amendment forces
were overwhelmed by the news of
the result. as they we're absolutely
confident of victory up to the last
moment. Coy. Conner left for Mis-
sissippi the night before on a fishing
trip.

They Threaten 70 Do.

The Colunlaia correspondent OF
The News and Courier sa.s six
counties wet-twenty that have bssn
dry during various periods Of time
one which has had prohibition
for forty odd years, and fifteen late.
ly added to the dusty column with
the probability that several of the
wet counties may be forced dry by
the different whiskey houses refus-
ing to ship their goods into the
State, is the whiskey situation in
South Carolina.
1t is all problematical yet. there
is possibility that the firms against
whom the commission found over
judgments will boycott the South
Carolina trade.
The dispensary wlndsng-up COM
mission recently passed q resolution
ordering the dispensary auditor not
to approve the claims Of a number
of firms. This matter was referred
to Governor Ansel, who ordered the
dIspensary boards in the Six coun-
ties retaining the dispensaries TO
hold up the claims. Just how much
was held up by the order IS not
known, but the amount Is estimat-
ed at about $4,000. The total
amount held up in the dry counties
was about $4,000.
The following are the firms named
in the resolution passed by the COM
mission: Thomas F. McNulty, John
T. Barbee & Co., the Jack Cranston
Company. s. Grabfelder & Co.. Bar
ret G Co., William Lanahan & Sons,
Mallard Distillins Company, Meyer,
Pitts &c Co., Strauss, Pr.tz e Co.,
Blumenthal & Bickert, Cook &
Bernheimer Company, and Fried
ham, Keller & Co.
The next awards to be made by
the boards in several Of the counties
retaining the dispensaries will be
about the first Of January. =
1t has been stated that the at
torneys for the above named firms,
in several instances, have notified
their houses not to ship any more
wh!skey into South Carolina.
1t Is also being talked that the
holding up of the claims by the COM
mission of the whiskey firms doing
business with the county dispensaries
will have the effect of causing other
whiskey houses to "shy" at trade
with the dispensaries In this State.
Should the whiskey houses refuse
to fill orders contracted for the dis
pensaries in several of the wet coun-
ties they would very probably have to
close, thus leaving the State practi-
cally prohibition for time at least.
