Pierre Jaune, the French detective
who has just died, once traced a mur
derer within forty-eight hours with no
clue save trouser button. Such
feat seems almost incredible, yet many
criminals have been brought to justice
through clever minds following up the
very slightest clues. Suspicion was
first awakened in the Crippen case by
the spelling Of the victims name,
"Elnore," with two "'s" on a forged
letter; Bennett of Yarmouth notori-
ETY. was traced through a laundry
mark on piece of linen, and Or
rocks, who murdered a constable at
Dalston in 1884, was brought to the
scaffold by an initial on a chisel. So,
If you want to be criminal, you had
better go out naked and unarmed.
Even then some special constable
might take note of you.

THE OPEN MIND,

What chance in the stern warfare
of life has the man of an open
mind" when it comes to influencing
his fellows? Such man is by force
of nature a mental hermit. The bat
ties of life are fought by people of
'closed minds" who do not think and
who only presuppose and remember.
The big deeds fall to the doing of in
dividuals who have one idea and no
patience with any other. Great states
men are as a rule as devoid of under
standing what they do and stand for
as generals are of knowledge of that
for which they fight. One man is
statesman, tribune and trumpet blow
er of a notion that may be right or
wrong-nobody knows which until it
is tested. The other has a business in
hand of killing SO many men as he
may, and let history play the coroner.
So 1t goes. The man of the open
mind is always, If you look at 1t that
way, martyr to the great clashing
majority of preconceived opinions
raised on either side with a sort Of
patent mental baking powder. This
natural born philosopher of charity
and good humor has no place what
ever between the lines of the eternal
controversy between my doxy and
your doxy." If the intelligent man be
also intellectual, he may skirmish
around and gain fortune, but he will
never gain the recognition that to the
average man is worth more than any
fortune that may come to him.

BURNED TO DEATH

Piggot, May 12.-At an ear ly hour yesterday morning M. G. Grissom, living three miles west of Piggot, was burned to death when his home was con- sumed by fire.
 A dog had been giving trouble about the place and MT. Grissom had set steel trap in the kitchen and caught the dog. When he went to re- lease it the dog fought him and in the scrimmage d can of gas oline was upset, and the fluid caught fire from a lamp. MT. Grissoms clothing caught fire instantly and before his wife could come to his rescue the flames and the explosion of the can had set fire to the house. Mrs. Grissom barely escaped.
 The house and contents were a total loss. The charred re- mains of Mr. Grissom were taken from the embers as soon as it was possibly to do so, but only small pieces could be found.

St. Loais, May 12.-All classes of the fatter grades of cattle are fully 25 to 35 cts. higher than week ago. Can ners, cutters and yearlings, are strong, but the market good at the prices. We're right in mid-season atthis time and receipts are very lght, this, however, VII be of material benfit in forcing the market to a much higher leve l by the time the cattle movement to market is on.
 Hog supplies continue of a moderate nature, but the mar ket has not reflected as good a tone as the receipts should indicate. Todays trade was slow at 5 to 10 cents lower at values, extreme top making $7.70. The bulk of the good Southern hogs, went at $7.15 to ST 40
 The sheep market is excep- tionally good for fat stuff, though any thin sheep or lambs are not selling to good advantage.

SOME FACTS ABOUT
 WORLDS GREATEST SHIP

The sinking of the great steamer Lusitania near the Irish coast last Friday is one of the most serious blows struck during the present European war.
 The great ship left New York on the proceeding Satur- day bound for London. It was attacked by a German submarine and although it was supposed to be unsuitable it went down within twenty min utes after being struck by a tor pedo fired from the German submarine.
 Of the 1253 passengers on board, very few were saved. Nearly 200 American citizens were passengers on the ill-fat- ed ship, and 118 of these lost their lives. Among the most notable of these were Albert e. Vanderbilt multi-million- aire citizen of New York, FL bert Hubbard a we'll kown and popular writer and Chas. Frohman of New York.
 The Lusitania was the best and most magnificent ship afloat. She was built only a few years ago and was valued at ten million dollars The ship was insured for S7, ,500,- 900. The cargo was valued at .$735, ,000, more than $150,000 of which was ammunition for England for use in the present war.
 The Lusitania, was consid- cred the safest, fastest and most magnificent steamship in the world. The following figur- les show it's dimensions ; Length, 790 feet; breadth, 88 feet; depth. to boat deck, 80 feet; draught, fully loaded, 37 feet 6 inches; displacement on load line, 45,000 tons; height to top of tunnels, 155 feet height to mastheads, PIG feet. From the standpoint of safety in every respect the vessel was supposed to have been un- excelled. It was launched al 'Glascow June T, 1906; cost, $7,000, ,000; speed, 27 knots engines horsepower, 70,000 Built to carry passengers as follows: First cabin, $50 third cabin, 1900; second cabin, 300,
