PAYS SI9O to Learn.

At Terre Haute, Ind, January
s, Clyde Mcclure, a clairvoyant,
succeeded in working successful
graft. Benjamin F. Parsons was
the heaviest loser. the clairvoyant
obtaining $3.50 of his money. Ac-
cording to Parsons, Mcclure offer
ed to take him in as a partner and
teach him the art of making money
easily. Parsons accepted and de-
posted $40 in the common fund.
The money, together with the por-
ton Mcclure was supposed also TO
put up, was placed in IA valise, and
this was given to Parsons to take
to his home for safe keeping. He
found nothing but brown paper in
the valise.

Italy Sings Praise of United
States.

Rome, Jan. 6.-The generosity
of the American people in coming
to the aid of the earthquake suf-
terers is the feature that attracts
attention here. The King said to
Ambassador Griscom:
Our people will be delighted to
hear of this mark of international
humanitarianism."
Premier Giolitti said:
What the United states has
done on this occasion is magniii-
cent and shall not be forgotten.
The United States stands first. out
dlstanclng all others in sympathy
and generosity. Our gratitude is
50 great that we can not find words
in which to express it"
NignOr Tittoni. the foreign min
lister. said:
Never before on any oe,asion
has occurred such demonstration
OF sympathy as that of America.
1t includes all classes from the
President to the humblest citizen.
Nothing could more tightly bind
together the two countries
Count Taverns, the president of
the Italian Red Cross, declared:
Certainly the disaster has been
immense, but it has brought forth
a manifestation of international
brotherhood which has been re-
markable on the part of the Uni
ted States
The government will propose to
Parliament a ) per cent additional
land. house and income tax for two
years and a tax of cent on each
railway ticket sold. 1t is estimat-
ed that this will bring in $1,000
0OO, which. added to more than
100000 surplus on the Italian
budget, will enable the government
to face the financial consequences
of the disaster without importing

the personal direction of Gov. NJ.
X. Patterson to the aid of the civil
authorities in ferreting out and the
taking into custody of those who
are charged with the commission
of the crime, the so-called night
rider clan Of Reelfoot Lake.
The operations of the night rid
ers' bands began with the burning
of fish docks, extended to the in
flicting of corporal punishment on
those whom the leaders deemed
guilty of actions in opposition to
the wishes of the clan, and found
a climax in the lynching of Capt.
Rankin. stakeholder Of the West
Tennessee Land Company. The
night riders, composed largely of
the fisher folk of Reelfoot Lake.
which is owned by the land com
pany. were especially aogrieved
against the land company because
of the refusal to allow the fisher
men to ply their vocation at will in
the waters of the lake. This they
charged largely to Capt. Rankin
and Col. TAYLOR.
When the two were to spend the
night in the lake region the band
met at designated point, and to-
wards midnight donned their long
cloaks and masks and marched 70
the Walnut Log Hotel, where the
men had quarters.
They marched them to seclu1-
ed spot. The rope by which Ran
kin was led from the hotel was
thrown through forked limb of
a tree anu the man drawn into the
air. A volley of shots followed.
and Rar kin was dead.
When Taylor saw the men were
determined to kill both he made
dash for liberty. swimming the
bayou, and though several volleys
from a score of rifles followed him,
he succeeded in escaping.
Two days later Gov. Patterson
and two companies of State troops
arrived. Arrests by the whole
sale were made. Several Of those
arrested confessed, and those not
guilty were allowed to return
home.

the trials several members of the
band told of workings of the clan

it to have been most brutal.

more than a score in number, are

NIGHT RIDERS.
Six Men Charged With First
Degree Murder and Sen-
fenced to Hang Feb. 49,.

With a verdict of guilty the jury
in the night rider trials reported
Thursday night at Union City,
Tenn. Six men were found guilty
of the murder of Col. Rankin and
the death penalty has been given
and will be executed February 49,.
Two others were given 20 years
each in the penitentiary.
The punishment of the six first
named defendants was left to the
court. The defense filed a motion
for Il new trial. which was heard
on Saturday and was overruled,
as indicated bv the court.
The Jury had been ont since =

The defense demanded until
Monday TO move for new trial,
but the court fixed Saturday. init
mating that the motion was Il mere
form anyway, which would be
Overruled.
The defendants took the verdict
with calmness, as they bad been
expecting it since the closing of

escape with twenty years. is the
man who, according to Frank
Fehringer, fired the shot which
killed Capt. Rankin as he was be-
ipg drawn by the rope.

handcuffed and under military es-
