Justice David Brewer
Passes Suddenly at
Washington Home.
APOPLExY is Fatal
Was Appointed to the Supreme
Bench from Kansas by
President Harrison.

Washington, March 29.-The death
Of Justice Brewer OF the supreme court
Of the United States at hts home In
this city late last night caused pro-
found regret here and throughout the
country. Many calls were made at the
Brewer residence today by sympathiz-
ing friends of the family and messages
of coincidence arrived in great num-
bers. Members of the supreme court
Of the United States we're among the
callers.
Found I'm Bath Tub.
Justice Brewer was found in the
bath room in his house dying OF apo
plexy, the discovery being made by
Mrs. Brewer. She at once telephoaed
for Justice Could of the supreme court
of the District Of Columbia, who lives
near by. Gould, with the assistance of
servants, carried the body from the
bath room to the bed room. Gould
said Justice Brewers pulse was still
family beating as he carried him into
the bed room. Physicians were sum.
moned. but Brewer was dead when
they arrived.
Tnft in Distressed.
President Taft, upon his arrival here
today from New York, was much dis
tressed by the news of the death OF
Justice Brewer He had learned the
bare fact last night before his depart
-t1re~from Jersey-cIfy land eagerly read
the detailed accounts OF the death OF
the jurist from a newspaper that reach
ed him in his car at the union station
this morning
Came from Kansas.
Justice Brewer came to the supreme
court of the United States from the
federal court in Kansas He was the
second oldest member of the court.
Justice Harlan only being his senior.
He was regarded as the most demo
cratic of all the members Of the court.
most affable, approachable and accom-
modating. He was the one man on the
bench who had proof copies Of his
opinions prepared for the newspapers,
and this he did consistently.
Never Read Opinions.
Another Characteristic of the jurist
was that he never took any OF the
time of the court or the public I'm an
nouncing his opinions. He reached the
conclusion, probably many years ago,
that the audience in the court room
was so extremely limited that Il was
a pure waste of time TO read opinions
there. He would give only in a few
words his conclusions and then hand
down the proof sheets OF his opinion,
always completely arranged.
May Halt Trust Cases.
Justice Brewers death raises a SER
ious question as TO the action OF the
court regarding the Standard OIL and
American Tobacco company suits. and
It is not improbable that the cases
will have to be retired. since there
now remain but seven justices TO pass
upon them. Justice Moody not having
participated in the trials by reason OF
continued fitness.
Justice Brewer was the one member
Of the supreme court who was in al
most constant demand as a lecturer
and after-dinner speaker. He was an
orator of unusual ability.

watsska, H., March 2s.-"'Bi' came
at me with an ak and had to shoot
him"
That is why DR.. w. R Miller killed
Banker J. B. Sayler, according to DR..
]. s. Near, who testified for the state
yesterday at the trial Of DIR. Miller,
Mrs. ]. B. Sayler and her father, John
Grunden.
The testimony Of Dr.. Near was the
feature of the trial yesterday. His ap-
pearance created unusual interest be-
cause his testimony was a matter Of
conjecture from the fact that he did
not testify at the coroner's inquest.
DR.. Near, scarcely interrupted by
questions from counsel, told in a
graphic manner the events of the night
Of the tragedy, even repeating the la
comic words of John Grunden: 'T saw
1t ALL but I amt talking"
DR.. Near's testimony was decidedly
favorable to DR.. Miller, and indicated
that the story of the defense that Obi"
Sayler had come after DIR. Miller with
an ak and that he had to shoot in self
defense was not concocted hours after
the shooting.
Before Ak Was Found.
DR.. Near had reached Crescent City
that night in response to a telephone
message from Mrs. Sayler. When he
arrived he asked DR.. Miller how it all
had happened and Miller told him of
Sayler attacking him. This was four
hours before the ak was reported found
In the Sayler home. At the time of
this conversation DR. Miller was not
aware that he had killed Sayler.
DR.. Near said he asked Miller how
he had been wounded in the wrist,
and the defendant told him he had
accidentally shot himself in the scuf
fle with Sayler.

Dog days are here, the period
during which dogs are supposed
ly most likely to become mad, or
affected with hydrophobia. In
truth however, so Circlar 9 of
the Kansas Experiment Station
tells US, hydrophobia is just as
prevalent in winter as the sum-
mer. There is nothing in the
statement that hot weather, lack
of water, or bad treatment cause
hydrophobia.
There is, however. a constant
but slight danger from rabies or
hydrophobia. A bite from a
mad dog is usually the cause of
the disease. But saliva, milk or
tears from a rabid animal may
start the trouble. Dogs, cattle,
hogs, horses, and man are all
liable to rabies. The symptoms
are much the same in all animals
-restlessness. irritability, and
inability to eat or drink, and
weakness. Paralysis and death
are the result within a week or
two after the symptoms appear.
Symptoms rarely appear till at
least a couple of weeks after an
animal is bitten, and sometimes
not for six months or a year.
This treatment for hpdrophobia is
the Pasteur treatment, which
must be given within a few days
after the animal or man is bitten
by the affected animal. If it is
doubtful whether a certain ami
NAL had hydrophobia, a veterin-
arian or doctor should be able
to settle the matter by looking

to Walter S. Dickey for his
splendid campaign work in 1908,

management of the party's busi-

He gave his time, energy and

John Stuart Mills said: The
worth of a state, in the long run,
is the worth of the individuals
composing it." If measured by
that standard Missouri is worth
as much as any state in the Un-

supplied by Republican rule, is
becoming worthier every day.

about the Democratic habit OF
gerrymandering the state. In a

he said: The Democratic ger
rymander of the state is outra-
geous and indefensible. If any
court in Missouri should uphold
it against change, contempt OF
court in Missouri would be cpl
demic."
