 MAN ON JURY

SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-The case of Rena Mooney went to the jury at one o'clock this afternoon. Msr. Mooney was taken to the prison cell this morning. Up to a late hour tonight no verdict has been rendered,
 Judge Seawell gave instructions finally to the jury and the defense says that on the whole they were fair.
 One vote of the jury it is known was taken before lunch but its re- suit was not announced.
 At four o'clock angry voices could be heard arguing in the jury room and some of them were so extremely loud that almost every word could be heard and a bailiff told them to speak more quietly These angry voices indicate that a serious split has taken place and

 bloody struggles have taken place. This morning the fog was lighter and about ten o'clock it was lifted altogether while the German guns were pouring terrific fire upon these positions of the French. Be fore noon the German infantry at tacks began and were carried out consecutively time after time not withstanding the repulse of the as saults and with total disregard to the losses of the men.

one voice was heard calling other jurors anarchists.
 1t is safe to say there IS an anchor man on the jury fer the prosecution.
 It is generally believed from these facts that the jury will 'be unable to agree and certainly it is now generally held that verdict of guilty will not be returned. The shouting in the jury room and the interchange of amenities between the jurors indicate this, according to the belief of both press and pub lie.
 The jury was still out tonight and as far as could be ascertained there was no likelihood of an agree ment.

 The commurique concludes with the admission that the French lost a small portion of their first line to the attacking forces but that the hghting is continuing and with the superior positions held by the French, the Germans themselves find that they cannot make these trenches evacuated by the French tenable for the German infantry.

DIGS SENATOR STONE.

wv. S. b." writing from Vandalia,
Mo. to the st. Louis Republic says:
One day last week the following
headlines appeared in The Republic:
stone to Aid Fight on Dry Measure
Today" And he did aid and the drys
lost. Now, 1 say shame on the U. S.
OF ours wanting to continue in
partnership with the brewers. II all
these other nations, Russia, Ger
many, France and others, can carry
on war for years without the drink
why not these L. S? SO much has
been said in regard to the L. S. en-
tering this awful war to bring about
final peace. and introduce our form
of government in those foreign ma
lions. We ought to give them good
example all along the line. Mr.. Stone
uses the same old threadbare argu-
ment that the liquor interests have
been using. Throw so many out of
employment. and lose the revenue.
How inconsistent the first argument
The cry above all cries is for more
help. more men, so many places to
use them, no trouble to find employ
ment.
Now as to the revenue proposition
we had better go down in our pock-
cts and pay this amount We get from
liquor revenue and take the tempta-
ton away from our boys and live a
sober nation.
We learn from history that no
one thing has been more instrumental
in the downfall of nations than the
drink habit.
MIR. Stone has been hung in eftigy
in parts of Missouri for his views on
the war question, and some very hard
things are said about him claiming
he is not in sympathy with Wilson.
But one thing very sure, he is stand
patter for the brewery interests. Ev-
cry movement that comes up for tenn
perance he fights it.
He forcibly reminds me of what l
heard a preacher say in regard to
one of his church doctrines: II eX-
