FURTHER TROUBLE BREWING.
Calhoun Election May Cause Some
Complications.

The St. Matthews correspondent Of
The News and Courier says there
is q peculiar and suggestive discrep-
ancy between the wording OF the
original papers and promises in the
guarantee of $4,000 for a Court
House and jail and the recent call
for an election to bond the town. The
original was direct and specific, while
the late call states that st. Matthews
will bond for $4,000 "to aid in the
construction of a Court House and
jail'' for Calhoun County. Most peo-
pie signed without giving the matte"
thought and would do it again rath-
er than delay proceedings for a
year or two longer.
"There are always those, however,
who lcok below the surface and have
called attention to contingencies that
may. arise. The usual plea Of "acci-
dent" has been made, 1t is under
stood, and it will go for what 1t Is
worth. 1t Is believed that the county
will vote some additional sum for the
construction of these buildings-hoW
much remains to be seen-but IN
case a resolution should be passed at
the behest of the local legislative del
egation calling for more than the
people will stand for it may produce
serious complications. If the county
refuses to laid" what earthly power
can force the commission to proceed
with the work, as the call only
agreed ito aid in the construction.
etc.
It would have been far better
to have gone on in accordance with
campaign promises, for the people
would then have voted an additional
sum with far greater alacrity. The
people are very sensitive over this
Court House and Jail matter, for sew
eral obvious reason, and it is unfor-
tunate to say the least, that this lat
est complication has arisen We
hope everything will turn out alright,
and that our neighbor will have no
further difficulty about her building.
A little pulling together Will
straighten out matters.

LET HIM KNOW.

If YOU have a friend worth loving,
Love him. Yes, and let him know
That you love him, ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow
Why should good works ne'er be said
Of a fr5end-till he IS dead?
e
If you hear a song that thrills you
Sung by any child of song,
Praise It. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your
heart
Lack the JOY you may impart.
# your work Is made more easy
BY friendly, helping hand,
Say 80. Speak out brave and truly
Ere the darkness veil the land.
Should a brother workman dear
Falter for word of cheer?

his rosary beads. "These kept me

Clark Chosen for Speaker.

1t ia now Mr.. Speaker ELECT Clark
for Thursday night at their caucus in
Washington the men who will consti-
tute the Democratic membership of
the next House of Representatives de-
clared the minority leader of the pres
ert House to be their choice for
Speaker in the next Congress.
This action was unanimous, and po-
litical historians at the Capitol said it
is the first time in ..nearly a century
that Democrat had been nominated
for the Speakership without npposi-
ticn, except in cases where n man
who has been Speaker was reelected
to that office.
While Champ Clark enjoys this
unique distinction. it mas been fore
gone conclusion for some time that he
would be the unanimous choice of the
caucus.
But unlike his predecessors in the
office, me will not be VISITED with great
power, inasmuch under the new ;regime
he will not be authorized TO appoint
the committees of the House.
This will be done by committee of
which the Speaker himself will not be
member. Mr.. Clark. therefore, will
also enjoy the privilege of being the
first presiding Office of the House not
to possess the extensive power exercis-
ed by men who previously have served
In that position.

hative Martin, IF South Dakota, and
Representative Moudell of Wyoming,
supported the range horse. while Re
resentatives Harvey Helm and A. O.

horse. Mr.. Monde.l took the ground
that the army needed horses that were

laughter, doesn't run on his lungs.
A statesman can. A guod horse needs

for the State primary the United

no good reason why the people should
be given chance to nominate state
ticket in primary and not also nomi-
nate candidate for Senator in the
same way. He derld,s the talk of
candidates for Senator helping to elect
Democratic Legislators because they
are interested in getting their votes
for Senator and saws that if a man will
betray his party before the election he
would do so afteruard. Mr.. James
earnestly begs the committee to re-
scind its action excluding the Senator
ship, and live up to the tparty pledges
which commit the party to the election

people.

SAYS PRISONER
|. MADE CONFESSION
John Alexander Admitted Shooting
Wife, Former Assistant Prosecutor
Robson Testifes.

Little interest is being manifested
in the second trial OF John Alexander,
charged with manslaughter In con-
nection with the death OF his wife,
who was shot while In her home In
Ford City, on the night of Oct. 80.
1908. Few persons, aside from the
witnesses, are seen in Judge Man
dell's court, where the case Is being
heard, and those who do come as
spectators seldom stay more than a
few minutes.
Among the witnesses. Wednesday
morning, were Jerome Mueller, former
deputy sheriff, who took Alexander
from the county jail to the prosecut'
ing attorneys Office. Mr. Mueller
said he heard Alexander say, in the
prosecutors Office, that he shot his
wife, but that the shooting was an
accident
Attorney Frank ID. Eaman, who was
one of the assistant prosecutors at
the time OF the tragedy, said he had
talk with Alexander, and that the
defendant had denied to him that he
shot his wife.
Mr.. Alexander told me-" said Mr..
room when the shot was fired, and
that his wife came out of the bedroom
and said she had shot herself
Mr.. Eaman also related that he and
Mr.. Bliss, the prosecutors stenogra-
pher, had gone TO the hospital to get
an ante-mortem statement from Mrs.
alexander and that her father, George
Swergel, was present and advised her
to tell them what she had told him
| about the tragedy. Mrs. Alexander
replied that she would not tell them
anything about the case; that it was
none of their business.
Attorney James a. Robson, also an
assistant prosecutor, when the shoot
ing occurred, testified that following
Eaman's visit to the hospital he went
TO get Mrs. Alexander's ante-mortem
statement, and that she told him in
the presence of her husband that the
latter had shot her. Mr.. Robson
also said that when he asked Alex
ander IL he heard what his wife had
said, the husband admitted shooting
| her
Cross-examined, Mr.. Robson said
he never heard Mrs, Alexander say
the shooting was an accident
Attorney Herbert Bliss, stenogra-
pher in the prosecutors Office in 1908,
who was present when Messrs. Eaman
and Robson questioned Alexander
and his wife about the shooting, pro-
duced his notes in confederation of
| the testimony given by the two assist
ant prosecutors.
