Newnennry, Cashier, WAS FINED ssoo FOR CONTEMPT Editor Shepherd Pays For Criticising Supreme Court. Jefferson, City, July 23.—Editor J. M. Shepherd, of the Warrensburg Standard- Herald, was fined $500 and costs by the supreme court yester- day for contempt. J.J. Cundiff, editor of the Sedalia (Capital, was fined $1 and costs for the same offense, the difference in the magnitude of the punishment being due to Shepherd’s standing by his guns, while Cundiff apologized. One hour after the adjournment of court Editor Shepherd received the following telegram from Warrens burg, his home town: Draw on Citizens’ Bank for any amount, Citizens’ Committee. A draft was made out for the amount of $527.30, and the money paid into court. Shepherd declined to express him- self in public, All members of the supreme court concurred in the opinion, which was delivered orally by Judge Marshall with a notice that the opinion would be reduced to writing, as a “warning anda caution” as to penalties for criticising the supreme court. There is no appeal trom the decis- fon. WARRENSBURG PEOPLE AROUSED, Warrensburg, Mo., July 28 —News of the finding of Editor Shepherd aroused the people here, and their in- dignation was freely expressed. A telegram was sent to Shepherd to draw on a local bank for fine and costs, and at 8 o’clock last evening a monster indignation meeting was held at the court house. Speeches were made in which the action of the court was severely criticised. A sub scription was started to pay the Shepherd fine and costs, and was soon pledged. TUO EARLY FOR CANDIDATE. Major Salmon Retuses to Discuss Judge Gantt’s Chances. Republic, July 24th. Major Harvey W. Salmon, of Clin- ton, former State Treasurer anda political power in the western part of the State, is at the Planters for afew days. The attitude of MajurSalmon toward the gubernatorial candidacy of Judge Gantt, also of Clinton, has been a matter of much speculation to the friends of both gentlemen. Captain W. C. Bronaugh, of Clin- ton, also aspires to a State office, that of Railroad Commissioner. He was defeated for the nomination in St. Joseph last summer, but thinke that he can beat all comers this time Captain Bronaugh was in the city yesterday, stopping at the Laclede Hotel. “I am perfectly willing for the Cap tain to run this year,” said Major Salmon yesterday. “I did not think it best for him to do so last year. 1| hope that he will win this time. “I am going to depart the first of the month for & long trip to Califor- nia and up the coast to Alaska. I haye never been there and think that bythe time { return the frost will be on®ome of the political pumpkins so that one can form a better judgment regarding the gubernatorial candi- dates.” “What about Judge Gantt’s can- didacy?” “J don’t care to discuss that eub-!

Young Bohemian Girl Whose Skin Varies with Her Emotions. Physiological Sensation Which Is Oc- eupying the Atéention ef the Paria Scientiste—Result of Boating Accident, Miss Marga Cerbus, a young Bohe- mian girl, whose skin possesses the re- markable property of changing color in sympathy with ber varying sensa- tions, is the physiological sensation of the day for Parisian scientists. Her skin does not reflect the colors im her vicinity, but a complete change is produced by the different emotions she feels. Anger makes it much darker than that of a negress; joy turns it to pretty pink, and anxiety causes her to as- sume a pale greenish tint; fear turns half her body a beautiful violet com- plexion. The most extraordinary fea- iure of the case is that the colors rare- ly mingle, but the greater part of the time changes take place without any apparent cause. Her natural color is a warm, dark shade. Sometimes the face turns sud- denly to a deadly white, while the rest of the body remains unchanged, At other times an arim, the neck, the hand or foot turns a different shade, aceording to the sepsution expressed, Che only time the skin remains with- out variation is when she is asleep. These curious variations in skin have only made their appearance since she met with a boating accident in which she was nearly drowned, ROMANCE IN MARRIAGE. The Wedding of Americans in Loa- dou Ile the Outcome of Child- hood Love Affair, Dr. and Mrs, John West Benton, re- cently married at London, will sail for New York soon to make their home at Ogdensburg, N. Y., where both were “brought up,” the bride being Harriet Egert, It is a boy and girl love affair, which, after many obstacles had been removed, resulted in a happy union, For five years the Egerts lived chiefly in Europe, except when Mrs, Hansick- er, the wife of Col. Millard Hansicker, now the European representative of the United States Steel corporation, had the girls on a visit out west, and the lovers did not get a glimpse of each other all these years, nor did a single letter pass between them, Harriet Egert traveled far and wide. Being very handsome, she had several marriage proposals, but all were re- fused, Baron de Graffenried was in- fatuated with her and did all in hie power to win her, Mr. Benton arrived in London not long ago, and Harriet announced her intention of marrying her old sweet- heart. Col. Hansicker gave the bride away, After the wedding the couple went to Strawberry Hill, where the bride’s mother held a reception, INCUBATOR FOR CROWS. Farmer Billings Hatches Them to Supply a Millinery House in Chicago. Farmer Billings, of Brookdale, Pa., hus taken a contract to furnish a Chicago milliner with crow heads at 25 cents apiece. It costs something to get a dead crow, because it is an elusive vird, and ammunition costs something, Billings, however, is an enterpris- He has devised a scheme by which a maximum num- ber of crows’ heads can be obtained ut small expense. He has set up a chicken incubator, in which are placed, as fast as laid, the eggs of about 100 hen crows that have been trapped, with perhaps a dozen cock crows. Within 15 days the little creatures are hatched, and a fortnight later they are ready to be beheaded. It is understood. that the head of a crow chick is worth just as much as that of the oldest of the same species. At the uniform rate of four for a dollar, dead, they will pay the pro- ducer. Farmer Billings has the only crow hatchery in the world, and he is justly proud of it. ing speculator, MONUMENT FOR BRET HARTE. Massive Slab of Granite Erected in Framley Church Yard, Surrey, England, To mark the resting place of Bret Harte in Framley churchyard, Surrey, England, there has been erected a mas- sive and costly monument. The mon- ument consists of a slab of white gran- ite weighing two and a half tons, on which is placed a block in the form of a eross, Simplicity itself is the inserip- tion: Latest in Apartment Houses. Shrewd New York business men who are to erect a great apartment house upon a conspicuous Fifth avenue cor- mer, propose to “solve the servant problem” by providing hot and cold “lifts” in which food and drink may be whisked from a central kitchen to the private dining-rooms and separate elevators for waiters to serve and “clear away” meals. Chambermaids and cleaners will keep everything in| order, and even valets and ladies’ maids | quire them. Rock Salt in Belgium, Beds of rock salt have just been dis- — covered 2,000 feet below the surface at “Hobson’s Choice” Tobias Hobson was the first man in England who let out hackney horses. When anyone wished to hire a horse, he was obliged to take the one standing nearest the stable door—he had no selection. Hence the old proverb, so familiar now, was born: “To elect there is but one— "Tis Hobson's choice—take that or none.” Before the introduction of Uneeda Biscult buying soda crackers in a paper bag, was like hiring Hobson's horses —there was no choice. In kind and quality there was but one—take that or else take none. Whether stale, soggy, dirty or old—'twas ever the same “Hobson's Choice.” Uneeda Biscuit in In-er-seal Packages have revolu- tionized this old method and set an example that has received the stamp of public approval, as the sale of over 200,000,000 5 cent packages attests. The In-er-seal Package insures their quality, cleanliness and crispness, because it is airtight, moisture proof, dust proof and germ proof.

Denver, July 25 —‘Oh, my God! never thought such @ disgrace could comeupon me Never in mylifehave Thad to hang my head before men. It is my ruin. And my poor girl. What will it mean for her?” Rev. J. O. Johnson of the Swedish Baptist church paced to and fro in front of the city jail, wringing his hands, while tears welled in his eyes when told that his daughter had con- feased the perpetration of a burglary. He says he will immediately resign his charge. His wife fainted on hear- ing the news and is in a critical con- dition. The doctors say she is dying of heart shock. The crime for which Esther John- son and Ruth Johnson, a friend, and Letta C. Davis were this morning ar- reated is one of the most daring on record here. The girls entered a room, stole $21 and a bank book on theCentral Savings bank for $187.51 and induced Davis to forge the name of the owner and collect the money for them. All the parties have con- jfessed. The money was spent for fine clothes. The Perfect Liver Medicine. Mrs. M. A. Jolley, Noble, O. T., writes: “Ihave used Herbine fora number of years, and can cheerfully recommend it as the most perfect liver medicine, and thegreatest blood purifier. It isa medicine of positive merit, and fully accomplishes all that is claimed for it.” Malaria can- not find a lodgment in the system while the liver is in perfect order, for one of its functions is to prevent the absorption of fever producing pois- ons Herbine is a most efficient liver regulator, 50c at H.

Ewen was escorted by soldiers as far as Torrent. There the troops left the train and escorted Charles Green, a '/witness before the grand jury, back to Jackson. Green is to testify in the Cockrill case. It is alleged that he saw the men who fired the shot that killed Cockrill. Green told his story to the grand jury, which, it is believed, will reeult in the indictment and arrest of certain officials of the county on charges of bribery and ac- cessory to the murder of Marcum.
