TOBACCO BLUNTs TASTE.
Smokers Must Have Highly Ssasone.
Foods, Woman Says.


with the sense of taste atrOphied
by tobacco, men must have highly
seasoned foods to tickle their palates,
and the constant eating of such foods
disables the individual from recog-
nizing delicate flavors."
So DR.. Elizabeth II. Dunn, instructor
Of anatomical research at Chicago uni
versity, told the Chicago Medical So
ciety. She added that 70 per cent Of
the sense Of taste is lost by the habitu-
al smoker over forty years Of age. It
makes no difference whether he smokes
a pipe or cigars.
Strange revelations would occur to
civilized persons were the senses Of
taste, touch and smell developed equal
~, she said. with those of sight and
hearing. She said that in virtually all
persons the senses Of taste, touch and
smell were either undevelOped or I'M
used and that the dormant state Of
those senses was more marked in men.

CLIPS HIS TOES FOR SPEED.
Arkansas Ball Player Thinks Their

Probably laboring under the theory
that Mordecai Brown, star pitcher Of
the Chicago National baseball team,
gained his efficiency when a finger
was shipped off by thrashing ma
chine, Edward Griffith, who recently
signed for the Fort Smith team in
the Western association, has had his
toes cut off to increase his swiftness
of foot
Griffith formerly was Little Rock
(Ark.) City league player of promi-
hence, but found the abnormal length
Of his toes mitigated against attaining
any kind Of speed as a base runner
and ultimately retarded his efforts to
attract managers in the larger base
ball circles.

"B00K TRUST" LOSES SUIT
Contract With St. Paul Board Of Edu-

In a decision at St. Paul Judge
Kelly of the Ramsey county district
court holds with the st. Paul school
board against the American Book COM
pany, popularity known as the hook
trust" and declares that the geogra-
phies of that company have been prop
erly excluded from the schools.
The decision is sweeping, denying
the alleged right of the school board
to contract" with the American Book
company or any other book concern
for term of years. 1t denies the pc
tition of the American Book company
for restraining order and vacates
the order to show cause issued against
the school board.

News Of Especial interest to

DISASTER ON the IRON RANGE
Twenty.six Men Killed BY an Ava.
Ianche in the Norman Mine
at Virginia.

Death in the form OF 100000 tons of
iron ore, rock, earth, ice and snow
shot down upon thirty men working
in the Norman open pit mine at Vir-
ginia. Only four escaped being blotted
out by the terrible avalanche and three
of these are in hospital suffering
from injuries that are likely to prove
fatal. Most of the victims were Firms
and Austrans.
The miners, who were taking up one
of the two tracks in the pit in order
to permit the great steam shovel to
work in another section of the mine,
were for the most part bent over with
bars and claws when the avalanche
swept upon them. There was no
chance for escape. The great mass
struck them to earth and gouged,
manned or fattened their bodies al
most instantly.
The pit was 1875 feet deep and sew
enty-five feet wide and the rock and
ore and earth filled this bowl to the
depth of fifty feet and shot out its rim
$50 feet.
The catastrophe was quite unlike
anything in the history of iron mining
on the range and also different in
many respects from the casualties that
strew the records of mining the world
over. The difference was that it came
in the form of an avalanche. Behind
and above the pit were thousands of
tons of ore, rock, earth, snow and ice
and the rapid warming of the atmos-
phere simply released them upon the

Big Acreage Required.
The bill calls for the establishment
of a colony on the prairies far from
the temptations Of large city. The
size of the institution Is not mentioned
in the bill, but its hackers think from
5000 to 10000 acres will be necessary
once the colony is In full working or

there will be shops of all kinds, an iron
foundry, a shoeshop, bookbindery,
tailor shop, a furniture factory, a
planning mill and similar industries.
The output Of the colony will not come
in competition with that of private
concerns, but will be used in great
measure in the different state institu-

AS described in the bill, its purpose
is "the establishment of colony for

Ending of Denver's Sensational Muir.
der Trial Comes After Jury
Had DeIiberated for
Fourteen Hours.
, WILL TAKE AN APPEAL
Convicted Man Intends to Flight for
Freedom After Being Found
Guilty Of Second Degree
Murder.

DENVER, Colo, June 30.-Frank H.
Henwood, who was found guilty Of
murder in the second degree for kill
ing George E. Copeland in the bar
room of the Brown Palace Hotel, May
20, will move for new trial within
the ten days allowed.
When the verdict had been read,
as he was about to be taken back to
his cell, Henwood said he thought he
would be granted new trial, if not
by Judge Whitford, then by the SUI
preme court. And then | will be
cleared of everything he said.
District Attorney Elliott announced
he would insist upon the beginning Of
trial on the second charge against
Henwood-that of killing s. L. Won
Phul--on July 5, whether or not the
motion for new. trial in the Cope
land case shall have been disposed of.
The jury received the case at 10
o'clock at night and considered it for
over fourteen hours before returning
the verdict 1t Is said about dozen
ballots were taken, and from the first
the jurors were unanimous for a
conviction, the only disagreement be-
ing the degree of guilt. The jury was
about evenly divided between first
and second degree murder up to the
noon hour. when they all agreed on
second degree verdict.
Il am disappointed, of course, he
said, but am sure that If a second
trial is granted, ultimately will re-
gain my freedom
The jurymen refused to be inter-
viewed Foreman John baxter said
that they had made compact not to
disclose what happened in the jury
room.
The charge on which Henwood was
tried charged wilful, deliberate MUIR
der, and the plea of Henwood was
self-defense. This plea was based
on previous quarrels between Won
Phul and Henwood, during two OF
which blows were struck. The de-
tense also claimed that Won Phul was
reaching for gun, and tsat Henwood
fired fearing his life was in danger.
When arrested Henwood expressed
no regret over the shooting of Won
Phul, but said he was sorry he wound
ed innocent persons. He told the chief
of police and reporters that the
trouble was over chorus girls.
1t developed however, that Henwood
had been trying to compel Won Phul
to return letters written to Won Phuli
by Mrs. John w. Springer, a society
woman and wife of Denver banker
After the shooting of Won Phul and
Copeland, Mrs. Springer has been
sued for divorce, and the hearing has
been set for next month.

FRIEND OF TWAIN
WORKS HARD AT 81
Old Printer In st. Louis Tolls Daily
at His Trade to Keep Self and
Wife Fron Starving. .

ST. LOUIS, June 3o.-Rufus H.
Simpson, "a years old, friend of Mark
Twain, and veteran newspaper man
and printer who once filled judicial
position al Terre Haute, Ind, and
served as deputy clerk of court in
Hines county Miss, now conducts
small printing Office at 3644 Easton
avenue, in an effort to keep himself
and wife, Lydia, 70 years old, from
starving.
In recounting experiences of days
long gone by, Simpson, who for more
than forty years, at different times,
has been resident of ST. Louis yes
terday described the experiences of
himself and wife during the yellow
fever plague at Vicksburg, Miss, in
1878, where 1900 persons died. He
was manager of the Vicksburg Herald
when stricken, and during the ninety
days he was in his bed the dead
wagon" often would be heard stopping
at the homes Of his neighbors. Simp-
son attributes his recovery to care
full nursing at the hands OF his wife,
who, he says, watched over him tor
more than thirty days without going
to bed. Simpson later came to St
Louis, where he worked for about
four years on the Dispatch and
Times. During that period his wife
devoted much time to charity work
in the levee district
During his term as deputy clerk in
Mississippi, Simpson refused to grant
a marriage license to a white person
and negro. He refused to prepare
the document until writ of manda-
mus by the court ordered him to is-
sue the license.
Simpson wa born at Chillicothe,
Ohio, and served one term in the
state legislature from that district.
Following lay-off'' by the paper
on which he was working in ST Louis
twenty years ago, Simpson started
printing establishment. The infirm-
tiles of age have in large measure
palsied the hands accustomed to type
composition, and now, in the days Of
the "sere and yellow leaf Mr. and
Mrs. Simpson find themselves prac-
tically incapacitated for work and
without funds to meet living expenses
Because of their inability to pay the
rent the landlord, it Is said, has
served notice they must vacate the
room occupied by their little shop.

Dement'S Pct Bill Killed In Illinois
Legislature and Adjournment
Taken Until October
AMID WILD DISORDER
All Methods Of Legislative TrIckery
Were Used to Prevent the Pas.
sage of the Deep Waterway
Measure.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 3o.-The
instruction inaugurated Wednesday
afternoon in the Illinois house against
the senate deep waterway bills con-
sideration, was brought to success
ful termination at o'clock last even
ing when a handful of the enemies of
the measure, with the assistance O. a
speaker, demonstrated their ability to
override the will of the majority and
succeeded in placing the last nail in
the coffin in which the pet" bill of
Governor Deneen now lies. BY vote
OF 5S to AZ house joint resolution
was adopted, providing for adjourn
ment to October 2, thereby removing
the last vestige of hope that a bill
would be passed this summer.
This action followed a period of
wild disorder in the house. extending
from IL O'Clock Wednesday night I'M
til late in the afternoon. Seldom, if
ever, have such disgraceful scenes
been witnessed in the Illinois legis-
lature. 1t was a common sight dur
ing the fight which preceded the read
ing OF the bill to see score or more
of members on their feet at the same
time, yelling to the full capacity of
their lungs for recognition. Rulings
from the chair were made which
caused the parliamentarians of the
house to gasp with establishment, and
appeals from the speakers decisions
were of frequent occurrence, but were
made In vain.
Not for moment did the house
organization permit consideration of
the waterway bill upon its merits. All
the methods of legislative trickery
were brought into operation to prevent
passage of the measure.
The fight commenced Wednesday
morning when it developed there was
not quorum of house members pres
ent Adjournment was then taken un-
til o'clock in the afternoon, but still
a constitutional majority of members
did not put in an appearance, and it
was upon the motion of Representa-
tive judah of Chicago, who had charge
of the administration bill, that re-
cess was taken until 1880 o'clock. 1t
was at that time the real excitement
commenced, with the introduction by
Representative Chiperfeld, the lead
er of the opponents of protest
against consideration of the senate
waterway bill on the ground rule 10
had been violated in the Introduction
of the measure in the senate. This
rule stipulates no bill shall be intro
drced second time at the same SEES
sion at which it has been drafted.
The Illinois house and senate are
today divided on the question of adj
journment and the house is recessed
/ until p M, to see what the senate
will do The Deneen men do not
want recess until October g.. They
want to give the governor the whip
hand by allowing him to call an ex-
ira session. The senate will act on
a joint resolution this afternoon.
