.CORONER'S JURY
FIXED NO BLAME
Did Not Specify Which Deputy
Killed Mob Leader at
Cairo

Cairo, ILL.,, Feb. 22-No individual
deputy sheriff was named in the ver-
dict of the coroner's jury which in
vestigated the death of Alexander NJ.
Halliday, who was killed in the mob
Thursday night seeking the life OF
John Pratt. the negro purse snatcher.
The verdict was returned today, soon
after the taking of the testimony of
many witnesses.
1t found that Halliday came to his
death by gun shot wound caused by
a weapon held in the hands of one of
Sheriff Fred D. Nellis' deputies fired
from the north window of the circuit
clerks Office in the court house.
The happenings of the day did not
tend to allay the excitement of the
citizens Of Cairo. Judge w. N. But
Ter, dissolved the grand jury at the
request of the Jurors and now Sheriff
Nellis will have the selection of q
new grand jury which probably will
convene March z.
Judge Butler also adjourned court
for two weeks, because of the unusuaf

CORN EXHIBIT
IS SPLENDID
The North Dakota Product Is
a Surprise to the
Farmers

An exhibit of North Dakota corn
forms one Of the most important fea-
lures of the corn and clover conven-
tion and attracts considerable atten-
tion. At the headquarters of the con-
vention and the poultry show there is
stand loaded down with some fifty
bundles OF as fine corn as was ever
grown, and the comment of the en-
thusiastic farmers who gather around
this center of attraction is that it is
hard to believe such splendid corn
can be raised in this state.
There are various kinds of corn
represented in the exhibit, among
some of the most important being the
Minnesota No: 13 dent, the golden
dent, the northwestern dent, ruslter
white dent, mercer flint, gehn flint,
King Phillip flint and the Dakota
white flint. The samples are from
! Neche, Devils Lake, Crary, Grafton,
Hillbsoro, Kindred, Oakes, James,
town, New Salem, Beach and other
places throughout the state, proving
, that such corn is not confined to any
one locality.
Other exhibits of corn raised by pu-
| pills of the North Dakota agricultural
college are brought from Cavalier,
Pierce, McHenly, Cass, Barnes, Rich
land, Stutsman and Ransom cunties.
Every ear of corn in the exhibit has
won a prize at one time or another,
and is considered the best in exist
ence. At the Omaha e~"n exhibit last
year, such North Dako corn as this
was placed on exhibition alongside of
corn raised i'll Illinois and Iowa, the
two famous corn states, and compar-
ed very favorably with either, in fact
the North Dakota corn was selected
as the most mature of any OH exhibi-
ton.
G. w. Randlett of Fargo is in charge
of the corn exhibit and is glad to an
swer all questions regarding its
growth.
/ One remarkable thing aboL. North
Dakota corn and which is proven by
a critical examination Of the samp. es
on exhibit is that it shells from four
to ten per cent more in weight than
the product of either Iowa or Illinois,
samples having - found which
shelIed as high as ninety per cent,
while that of the corn growing states
is eighty per cent-fifty- six pounds of
shelled corn and seventy pounds in
the ear.
The samples cn exhibit are not only
matured, but they have a hardness
and M turity which is not four :. |
corn grown in the older states. This
may be due to the fact that there the
tendency is to produce large ears ir-
respective of quality, while in North
Dakota the tendency has been to Sc
cure high quality. 1t is evident
from study of the exhibit that North
Dakota corn is superior as food
product to that e. other state.

NOT ANTI.AMERICAN
japanese Alien Land Holding Bill
Does Not Affect Americans

Washington, Feb. 22-In the opin-
ion of government officials here, the
bill introduced in the japanese diet
which provides that a foreigner may
not own land in Japan unless he is
a native of country which accords
the same rights to Japanese would
not materially change existing con-
dittons either in Japan or the Unit
ed States, so fer as ownership of
land Is concerned.
Article 2 of the treaty of November
%, 1894, provides that the subjects Of
each of the two contracting parties
may own or hire and occupy houses.
manufactures, warehouses, shops and
premises which may be necessary for
them to lease land for residential and
commercial purposes, conforming
themselves to the laws of each coun-
try like native citizens. The treaty
does not, however, confer rights to
either own or hire agricultural lands,
and Is limited to owning and hiring
lands and the structures thereon for
residential and commercial purposes.

TILLMAN IMPROVING
Speech May be Entirely Recovered
Will Not Attend Senate.

Washington. Feb. 22.-The con.
tinued improvement in the condition
of Senator Benjamin r. Tillman of
South Carolina has inspired renewed
hope of ultimate recovery from his
present serious illness. In the opin-
ion of his physicians the chances are
now much in his favor.
There has been some abatement of
the paralysis and today he regained
the use of his right arm and leg to q
limited extent. The aphasia has
markedly improved and he is now
able to speak. 1t is said the power
of speech may practically be restored.
If the senator's condition continues
to improve, he may be able to leave
for his home in South Carolina in -
month. but hardly before. FIe will
not occupy his seat in congress dur.
Ing the present session.

the crime had been committed late to-
day, Bird had been captured by the
Columbia police under Chief Cathcart.
He was hurried to the state prison. Few
COlumbians knew that the crime had

western section of the city and surren-
dered without making fight The
evidence is directly against him. The
husband of the young woman is out OF
the city. The negro went 20 the house

Joe Lewis, a chaingang trusty Ac-
cording to reports, a negro convict
working OH the Summerton road, made
his escape last Saturday. and Joe
Lewis, the trusty. was armed and sent
in search of the fugitive. He went to
Blackwell's place Saturday night and
acted in such q manner as to cause
Blackwell to order him away. He
refused to go. and Blackwell fired on
him with a pistol. wounding him
twice. once in the left wrist and again
in the left chest near the collar bone.
The ball of this second wound Is still
in the body, together with fragments
of soiled clothing. Such being the
case while he is now apparently get
ting along very well, the attending
physician cali not certify that he Is
out of danger. and hence the commit
ting magistrate cannot admit the de-
fendant blackwell to bail. Tt Is said
that Blackwell is quite a successful
farmer. making about 100 bales Of
cotton year.
- Anderson, Oct. 10: The report
current on the streets during the past
day or two that Operator Browder at
Mccormick had lost his mind worry
ing about the wreck which resulted
from his neglecting to deliver meet"
orders seems to have been without
foundation. 4 conductor Of the G. &.
w c. said today that he had seen
Prowder around Mccormick since the
wreck and that aside from the fact
that he Is worrying a great deal over
the matter he seems to be all right.
PrOwder was relieved of his duties in
the railway office Immediately after
the wreck that night. Since then the
Abbeville coroner has held him re-
sponsibie for the wreck. 1t Is said on
good authority that the conductor Of
the ilI-fated train going south inquir-
ed Of RrOwder twice If he had any or
ders for his train, and that Browder
replied to- both inquiries mo" 1t is
understood the records will show that
the order for these trains to meet at
Mccormick were sent out from Au-
gusta about four o'clock in the after
noon. about two hours before the
meeting was to occur. 1t is supposed
that in this length Of time. Operator
Browder forgot about receiving the
orders 1t is said that he did not dis
cover his failure to deliver the orders
until Conductor Foster arrived from
the scene Of the wreck.

CRlPPEN ON STAND.
Doctor Denies All knowledge Of Muir
der of His Wife,

London, Oct 2O.-Dr. Hawley Har-
vey Crippen faced his accusers from
the witness box today.
IT was a dramatic moment when the
diminutive figure of the American
dentist emerged from the compar-
ative isolation Of the commodious
dock and took a position where he
was stared at with intense interest by
the curious throng that filled the New
Bailey court room. DR.. Crippen was
pale but his composure that has re-
manned since he was first charged
with the murder of his actress wife,
Belle Elmore. did not desert him.
Under the tactful guidance of his
counsel Crippen gave . sketch Of his
career. He had studied the theories
but had not taken a practical course
in surgery. He had performed post
mortem. The drugs which he had
purchased in England, he explained,
were wholly for his own preparations.
He explained the purchase of hyoscin
the poison which the crown alleges
was used to kill Belle Elmore. by say
ing that it was required for use In
the treatment of nervous cases and
described his formula in making up
hyoscin tabloids. OF the hyoscin
which he purchased on Jan. 10, the
doctor said he had used about two
thirds
The prisoner spoke slowly as he
proceeded He admitted that there
was a scar on the body of his wife
four and a half inches in length. 1t
was caused, he said, by an operation
IL years ago. He had never admins
tered hyoscn to his wife. He had no
idea whose was the body unearthed
in the cellar of his Hilldrop Crescent
home. In fact he was not aware that
body had been buried there until
he returned to England under arrest.
Crippen told of the gradual aliena-
ton of his wife's affections until the
climax was reached in a quarrel on
the day of Jan. 81 last. His wife. he
said had accused him of a lack of
attention to Mr.. and Mrs. Martinetti,
who had spent the evening with them.
They quarreled and on the following
day his wife went away. This con-
cluded his direct evidence and court
was adjourned.
Earlier in the day the prosecution
closed it's case and Alfred A. Tobin
for the defense made his opening ad-
dress in which he said that the de-
fense would maintain that 1t could

dead. without which proof his client
could not be convicted. The defense
then called Crippen to the stand.

Corn Rajsinu,

The business Of corn raising has been
greatly stimulated throughout South
| Carolina during the past few years,
and although York county has shown
commendable progress, she does not
occupy the place, with reference to the
balance of the state, that she should
occupy or that she could occupy
1t is not to be denied that York
| county has taken great strides along
this line as along other lines of agri-
fact we are ready to believe that taken
as a whole, York leads all the counties
of the state; but at the same time we
do not believe York has done anything
like what she ought to do or can do.
There are a number of real first
class farmers in the county, who are
quietly plugging away trying to do
better this year than they did last
year. and better next year than they
did this year, but none of them are
doing all they know how to do. much
less all that can be done, and there Is
need for the stimulation of more en-
thusiasm such as the whole matter de-
serves.
We have in the county the Corn
| Growers association and the Boys
Corn club, and behind these organiza-
| tions a whole population that can be
wonderfully benefited by such prog
ress as they might make. The one
thing necessary now is for all the peo-
pie to take hold and see to it that the
man who makes progress in corn pro-
duction-who produces more corn and
better corn-shall receive the recogni-
ton that is his due as a benefactor to
his fellowmen.
The work of the Boys Corn club this
year has been hampered somewhat,
because the general public has not
shown as much interest as it should
show. This should not be the case
hereafter. There must be general or
ganiZed effort and the public must
make contributions for suitable prizes,
Although there are many, maybe,
who d. not realize the fact, old meth
DDS have been relegated, and the idea
of planning for seed corn that has no
other sc2 c2mmendation than that some
of it will probably reproduce itself viii
soon be dead. Hereafter the quality
of seed will become a most important
factor and after that fertilization and
cultivation will receive more attention
than heretofore. Corn can and must be
the basis of progress the like of which
this country has never seen, and the
way is through the improved cultiva-
ton of improved seed.
The men and women who show the
way in this matter are the men and
women who are going to win the graf
itude and applause of the whole coun-
try.

A Few Facts About Liver Trouble.

A dull, sluggish liver always brings
dull sluggish feeling to the entire
body. When the liver works properly
the blood courses through the uOdy i'm
a bright, red stream. When the liver
is inactive the blood becomes dull and
muddy, and it is full of poisonous
matter. A great many people try to
get a fine, clear, pink and white COM
plexion by rubbing things on their
faces. They might rub a lifetime and
the same yellow complexion would re-
main-for the liver causes 1t. Only
bright, red blood brings fine complex
ions. Blood loaded with impurities
from the liver sends the impurities
out through the pores of the skin and
turns the skin a brownish yellow.
To get rid of the dull, heavy feeling
and muddy, yellow complexion get the
liver to working again. Two soc bot
ties of BLOODINE will do it nine
times out of ten. If you are troubled
