The wife brought it to 0seeoIa to try to pawn i..

Her husband was ar rested also and put in jail. He was sick and Dr. Dunavant attended him. When he was we'll enough he was given a trial and discharged He went down to the farm and helped his wife work out her fine.
 While at work the woman in some way provoked the anger of the people in charge. and she was cruelty beaten with a strap. As soon as these unfortunate people could work out he woman's fine they came to Osceola. Al their re- quest Dr Dunavant examined the woman's body. and he testifes that she was covered with black stripes two inches wide where the lash had been laid across the tender flesh of her body with the brute force of a fiendish nature.

SOME CRUMBS OF COMFORT
Those Of Us Who sweitered In the
Dog Days May Find = Little
Consolation Here.

For those Of US who are forced to
spend most Of our summers in cities
there are few consoling thoughts,
remarks q writer In the Atlantic
Monthly. One is that the severest
heat does not prompt men to crime,
as the social statisticians have found
that the severest cold does. Another
is that the worst temperature we are
called upon to face falls a long way
short of the endurance limit of the
human body and brain, as proved by
French experiments at the $50 degree
level. Another comes from the dis
covery through the newspapers, with
every prolonged hot wave, that we are
or ether. This ought to be stimulus
to our pride, and If we wish to carry
further the beneficent influence of
mental suggestion, all we need to do
Is to compare what is happening to US
with what has happened to various
other people at various other times.
For instance. when the encyclopedias
tell US that in A. D. 627 the heat
in France and Germany dried the wa
ter sources and multitude of people
died of thirst; that in the battle of
Bella. in 1860, more soldiers were
killed by the sun than by the weapons
of the foe; that in 1903 three great
rivers Of western Europe went dry,
and that in Odessa, in 1889, the noon
temperature reached 144 degrees and
a sunshade was necessary at five in
the morning, we are bound to con-
clude that we are not SO badly off.

PRESENT LIMIT OF WIRELESS
Depends Largely on Existing Weather
Conditions, but Possibilities Are
Apparently Unknown.

According to Prof. ]. A. Fleming,
several of the most powerful wireless
stations are now generating ether
waves having length from crest to
crest of about four miles, and these
disturbances can be detected" at dis
tances up to 5000 miles from their
source-that is, four such stations
would suffice to "girdle" the earth.
Obviously, however, the ability to de
tect" the signals over this vast dis
tance, presumably under favorable
weather conditions. is a very differ
ent thing from the power to maintain
commercial communication along the
route. AS yet the wireless service
available to the public covers but q
third, or at most half this distance
There is as yet no means of deter
mining the practical limit of wireless
communication. Improvements in ap-
paratus. perhaps even some new dis
covery as to methods of stirring up
the ether, may revolutionize the art
and upset all present standards. But
at present even the most successful
systems get into serious difficulties
when called upon to maintain constant
communication over Nle 2,C00 miles
in length. A recent British wireless
commission was able to secure but
one demonstration on line 1000
miles long, although several companies
declared their ability much to exceed
this distance in commercial installa-

The chief lobydst Of the sugar
trust has returned to Colorado from
Washington and, according to the
Denver papers, has announced that
the trust has not abandoned its fight
Tor tariff on sugar.
THE issue will be submitted to
the people in 1914 and 1916" he is
reported as saying.
The lobbyists statement may be re-
garded as the opening gun In the
campaign which has been planned by
the sugar interests In Colorado Those
Of us who advocated free sugar did
not imagine that the issue would be
decided by the result OF one battle.
We knew that the representatives of
the trust would endeavor to drive us
from public life and. If possible, re-
place us with men of their own
choosing. Therefore. the lobbyists
challenge did not come as surprise
to US. We were prepared for it and
will accept it with right good will.
The issue for next years campaign
has already been fixed, the platform
has been written, the party shibbol-
eth is on every lip. In 1914 and in
1916, the Democracy of the state and
nation will stand as enc man for
Woodrow Wilson and his policies
j understand that the sugar inter-
ests in Colorado are endeavoring to
bring about a fusion between the
standpat Republicans and the Progress
sives. They are willing to give the
progressives everything on the state
ticket if they are permitted to select
sugar senator and four sugar con-
grcssmen. Rumor has it that they
have already selected their candidate
for senator He is a near-progres-
sive, whose record proves that he
inay be depended upon to serve the
interests where the interests stand
in urgent need of his services.
This gentleman vii, be put forward
in the progressive primary and if he
| is successful. a place will be made
for him en- the Republican ticket.
Then the sugar barrel will be open
ed ard an unlimited sum will be ex-
pended in an endeavor to put him
across.
The trust is determined to get
Senator Thomas. His courage and
talents have won him high place
in the senate. When the trust crack
ed its whip over the senators from
the sugar states, he refused to re-
spond. He valued the love and con-
fidence of his constituents above the
proffered favors of special privilege.
He remained true to his platform and
party pledges So special privilege
has decreed his political death.
OF course, the people of Colorado
will have something to say about the
matter and for one, have no doubt
concerning the character of their ver-
dict.
have a very high respect for the
intelligence of the voters of the state.
They cannot be purchased with sug-
ar trust money and they cannot be
bamboozled by sugar trust sophistries.
| believe they want men in Washing
ton who represent them honestly and
fearlessly and believe they will re-
ject any candidate who bears the hall
mark of the sugar trust or any 9TH
er special interest.
