JULES MARSHALL WAS
SLAIN BY AVENGERS
Negroes Took Sick Man From His
Bed During the Night And Carried
Him to Nearby Swamps, Where He
Was Killed And Buried.

The discovery Tuesday by party
of hunters of human skull and near
by thigh bone, covered by pieces of
jeans suit of clothes in a swamp
near Epps, IA miles south of this city
on the Gulf & Ship Island railroad, led
to the uncovering yesterday of the
brutal murder on the night of Dec.
26, 1909, of Jules Marshall, a negro,
5O-years-old, employed by A. F. Wilder,
of Epps.
Coroner David Farley called to
Epps yesterday, held the inquest over
the grewsome find of the hunters. A
half dozen negroes, who knew Mar
shall, were called and in every In
stance the witness identified the cloth
ing and the skull. Certainty was
doubly assured when the thigh bone
was shown. A place where the bone
had been broken and had knitted to-
gether is plain. Each of the witness
es identified the bone and stated Mar
shall had broken leg.
When Man Disappeared.
Marshall had been an invalid for a
year before he disappeared. When 4
neighbor called in to see the old man
on the morning of Dec. 27, the house
was empty. No trace could be found
of the man, although a complet:
search was made through the woods
His disappearance remained a mystery
and had it ECt been that there were
several enemies who had sworn ven
geance. no clue would have ever beef

fact was brought out and officers ar

THE FUEL SUPPLY

Railroad officials are again urging
upon shippers, dealers and consumers
in Northern Minnesota and North
Dakota to lay in their winter supply of
coal as early as possible. It is being
pointed out that in the fall months. until
the time the snow flies, the roads need
all their available equipment to handle
the crops. But the campaign evidently
is having little effect, for the people in
the country are as slow placing their
orders as IN the past.
Three or four winters ago some of the
farmers in North Dakota had to burn
fences to keep from freezing. There
was no actual suffering but some of the
tillers got SO close to it that there was
considerable complaint made and an
investigation was conducted by the inter
state m commission. The rail-
roads were blocked and they did all they
could to relieve the situation and ever

Japanese War Talk.

For several years certain persons in
the United States have exercised them
selves in predicting a terrible war
with Japan. Some of them have seen
it coming immediately-the war cloud
d%arkening the heavens of the forty
eight states. the fiery breath of the
var flame melting the SHOWS of Alaska
and the tralnpling hosts of the Nip
ponese desolating each Of our island
possessions. Many Of the newspapers
have devoted columns of space to the
advancing columns of the imminent
invaders.
Now comes General Katsura, pre-
mier Of Japan. eminent soldier and
statesman. the right hand mar of the
mikado, with the positive and I'M
equivocal declaration that a war be-
tween his country and ours is impos-
sible. absurd and not to be thought of
under the circumstances now existing.
He points out that Uncle Sam is the
father Of modern Japan and the child
cannot turn against it's parent. He
knows war. and he says war is bar
barous and that civilized nations
should work together for the extension
Of civilization rather than clash with
each other in demoniacal slaughter and
ruthless destruction.
Indebtedness for wars past and prep
aration for wars possible have cost
and still are costing the people Of
Japan and of the United States i'm
mense sums of money. Premier Kat"
sura expresses the highly sensible
opinion that a cessation of these heavy
drains upon national is inr
dicated rather than their continuation
and increase. The most friendly relaL
tons exist between Washington and
Tokyo. according t all signs. Let US
not take to the woods. but stay at
home and keep the peace. Before cry
ing wolf. wolcc" wait till the VOLTS

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS

The secretary of state is advertising
several constitutional amendments to
be submitted to the legislative assembly
that convenes next winter for ratifica-
ton and submission to the people at
the first ensuing general election. Two
of the amendments are not of special
Importance, being necessary only to
correct some apparent incompleteness in
the present laws. One of them provides
that state school land required for
townsite and similar purposes may be
paid for in full at the time of purchase,
in order to give a clear title, and not
extend the payments over twenty years,
as in the case of farm lands sold. The
other amendment is with reference to
the office of justice of the peace in
counties.
Two amendments are important. One
of them increases tho term of the justices
of the supreme court to ten years, and
in order to provide for the succession,
provides that the Judge elected with the
greatest vote this fall shall serve for ten
years, the one with the second vote for
eight years and the third for SIX years.
This amendment must pass another
legislature and be submitted to the
people and ratified by them, but the
Increased term is made effective as to
the judges elected in 1910, if the amend.
ment goes into effect.
A fourth amendment gives the legis-
latiye assembly power of purchase lease
and operation of a terminal elevator at
the head of the lakes. The amendment
is necessary to overcome the lack OF
authority IN the constitution for the
state to engage in private business enter.
prises. To what extent 1T is wise for
the state to engage in the elevator bust.
ness is for the people of the state and

Whew!! That certainly does sound

Of thing makes me wonder whether
the forbearance Of American men has
any limit" He says such things occur
only in America. where women have a
larger liberty and better treatment
than in any other country in the world.
Well. what Of it? Every man who is a
gentleman is glad and proud that
American women are better treated
than the women of any other country.
That is one of the signs and likewise
one of the causes of our superior civ
.ilization. 1t indicates that the men of
America are more highly civilized than
those of other countries-another rea-
son for congratulation.
Suppose some few women do pun
mel men. advocate dogwhipping for
them and suggest other things of that
sort. Let us take things by and large
and we shall find that in the main the
American woman is ladylike and does
not seek to abuse her larger liberty.
And if we cast our eyes about us and
keep our ears open to what is going
on in this part of the world we shall
discover that the majority Of the mil
lions of American women-a majority
so big that the minority is insignificant
are gentle and generous and good.
Some men ought to be dogwhipped
anyway. and if their brother men won't
do the job it's properly up to the

Cheer In Census Returns.

Partial figures published by the GER :
sus bureau indicate that the back to
the farm" movement. about which sd
much has been said in recent years, is
not altogether imaginary. According
to these figures. there seems to be a
real movement back to the farm. AS
one correspondent from Washington
puts it, it appears that there is lust
a little eddying from the cities to the
farm Or that fewer farm boys are re-
spending to the call of the city" Cen
u reports show a decrease in the
population of twelve cities in the east.
ern half of the United States. each Of
which gained in population during the
ten years from 1890 to 1900. On the
other hand. increases are shown in
many southern and western cities.
This indicates a trend of population
away from the crowded eastern cen
ters.
There is more inducement on the
farm nowadays than there was a
score of years ago. The telephone. the
trolley. the rural mail delivery, i'm
proved implements and more scientific
methods Of agriculture have made the
farm a more desirable place of resi-
dence and have rendered farming a
more profitable business. Many aban-
doned farms in the older sections of
the country have been %reoccupied.
Just what the complete census returns
will show as to the tendency to stay
on the farm or to go back to it is a
matter of conjecture at present. but
the early reports are such as to cheer
the hearts Of those who see in an in
creasing farm population the prosper
ity of the towns and cities and of the
nation itself.

When a Woman Will.

The recent completion Of a trip
around the world in an automobile by
Mrs. Harriet Clark Fisher Of New .Jer-
sey is another Illustration of the old
adage to the effect that when u woman
will she will and when she won't she
won't. Mrs. Fisher did not undertake
this remarkable journey merely to
make or break a record. perform q
"stunt" or get her name in the news
papers. She did it for her health. She
is said to be Il millionaire manufac-
turer, and she could afford ever the
expenses of running Il. touring car
where roads are unknown. So some
thing more than a year ago Mrs.
Fisher and her nephew. who is her
secretary and serves as chauffeur, be-
gan the globe girdling tour in the
horseless carriage.
There were friends who strongly
urged the oma not to attempt the
journey. She said she believed it would
do her good and she vas going. Over
in India the British military officers.
almost weeping in their solicitous zeal
for her welfare. implored her not to
undertake the journey from Calcutta
to Bombay. declaring that there were
practically no roads. that an automo-
bile never had been sent through that
iercely hot land and that various per-
lis would beset a woman on such a
trip. Mrs. Fisher. with true American
pluck. thanked the officers and said to
her secretary, Drive on. Harold"
Hairbreadth Escapes were experienced.
but the American woman got through
all right. her health improved. her
knowledge. of the world immensely
augmented and her self confidence
indicated and no doubt strengthened.
The American woman is becoming
known throughout the world for her
pluck and endurance and her lack of
the timidity and fear which obsess and
beset millions of male and female NOR
tails. Mrs. Fishor deserves not a little
slice of the praise due to her sex for
daring to do what neither man nor
woman has attempted heretofore.
