Marcum in Jack- son, Ky., brought in a verdict yes terday morning as follows: “We, the jury, find the defendants, Jett and White, guilty and fix their punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for life.” STORY OF THE MURDER, Marcum, the murdered man, war the at orney for the Cockrell faction, which had a feud with the Hargie faction. Jett and White espoused the Hargis cause. Marcum went to the Breathitt county court house at Jackaon one day last fall to filesome legal papers, and while standing iv the doorway talking to H. B. Ewen, the hotel proprietor, was shot down, Ewen said that Jett and White had killed Marcum. For thie his life was threatened and his hotel burned down. He was forced to flee and re- fused to return to testify at the trial unless furnished with a military escort. This was done, and, largely on his testimony, Jett and White were convicted.

Indianapolis Girl Has an Artistie Souvenir Made by the New Servian Monarch. Little Angeline Nixon Bates, daugh- ter of W. O. Bates, of Woodruff place, Indianapolis, Ind., has_a spoon which was made by Peter, the new, king of Servia. Mr. Bates has for years col- lected objects of historic and artistic value, but just at present this spoon is the most interesting thing in his home. It was sent to his little daughter An- geline a year or more ago by Mrs. Al- fred Stead, formerly Miss Hussey, of that city, during her trip around the world. While in Japan Mrs. Stead had sent the little girl a Christmas gift, but on reaching London she learned that it had never reached her. During a subsequent visit to Paris Mrs. Stead met Prince Peter, saw his studio, and, admiring a spoon which the prince had made, she decided upon it as a present for her little friend. She wrote to Mr. and Mrs. Bates the story of her visit to the prince's studio, intimating that, for the time being at least, he was in financial straits, and that spoonmaking was not altogether a pastime art with him. The spoon is of dull, heavy silver, and extremely odd and graceful in shape, The bowl resembles one corner of a con- ventionalized shell, with radiating lines on the back. The handle is twisted somewhat like a vine, and at the end there is a flower and seed design sug- gesting the lotus. The whole effect is Japanese, and perhaps for this reason it particularly attracted Mrs. Stead, who has done some work of that character herself in silver buckles, clasps and similar articles. The cover in which the spoon came was evidently the work of Prince Peter also. It is leather, stamped in a design OPERAS MISSOURI ST STATE BANK, | BUTLER, MISSOU CASH CAPITAL - - Surplus Funds and Profits, - Established A. D. 1880.

Joplin, Mo., August 15.—Joplin is to have a new daily newspaper, and it is safe to assume that the purpose of the new publication 1s to fight the Gilbert Barbee wing of Democracy of the 15th congressional district. The promoters of the enterprise are Rep- Pi rentative Richard N. Graham, for ~ merly city editor of the Joplin Daily Globe and Barbee’s paper, and later the Filipino leader at Jefferson City; Homer Hurst, Graham’s law part- ner; C. 8. Creller and Frank N. Lee, all formerly Barbee followers. It is understood that Col. William H. Phelps is in the deal, and that the paper will not lack financial assist- ance. It is said that the promoters will form as close coalition as pos ensuing year: tant J. P. Kingsland, Nevada.

Jett was calm and seemed prepared to receive a heavy blow. White was nervous and tears sprang to hiseyes. The news of the verdict soon spread and the court room filled rapidly. Jap King was the juror who secur- ed the life sentence for the prisoners. Allthe others were in favor of capital punishment, but rather than bring about a disagreement they voted for life sentence. Court then adjourned in order to give the defense time to file a motion tor a new trial, which it is thought Judge Osborne will overrule. ROOSEVELT SNUBS ANOTHER VETRAN. Orders Col. Meade Summarly Retired Because Modest Request Of- fended the Executive. Washington, Aug. 14.—Col. Rob’t. L. Meade of tne Marine Corps will be summarily retired Dec. 26, when he will be 62 years old. He is a brother of Admiral Meade, deceased, and of Major-General Meade, who command- ed the Uuion forces at Gettysbusg. HHe commanded the marines at Peking and Tien Tsin and was brev- ette 1 brigadier general forgallantry. Unber law which provides for the retirement ot their own request of officers with forty years service, Col Meade recently asked thut he be re tired Oct. 11, and that his brevet rank of brigadier-general be made permanent. His request was denied. He then asked that ‘‘as all his wishes had been denied’’ the papers which he had submitted be returned to him. President Roosevelt took offense at this and ordered the summary retirement of Col. Meade. The only explanation given is that Col. Meade has offended the admin istration on several occasions by his plain language. Every now and then you hear some one say that such and such a fellow has been a “hard nut.” Well, what similar to that of the spoon, and bearing in one corner his monogram.

There is one prisoner in the Ohio Penitentiary at Columbus who never saw an electric car until the other day when he was given permission b; Warden Hershey to pass beyond th walls which had inclosed him for 23 Years, and see a car pass rapidly on its journey. He goes by the name of James Irwin, and is the second oldest, and oldest sane man behind the walls, He is doing life for murder, having been received at the prison in 1800. When asked if he had ever seen an electric street car, he replied to the contrary, but expressed no particular desire to see one. However, he was taken to the front and given the op- portunity. When a car finally hove in sight coming at break-neck speed, Irwin drew a long breath and uncon- sclously stepped back a few paces to give the monster lee-way. There was wonder depicted upon his countenance, and he gaped in amazement. The horseless car was quite beyond his imagination. The first car having passed, he waited for the next, and now when the opportunity is afforded him he takes great pleasure in watch- ing the cars pass over the new tracks, There is one man in the prison older than Irwin, and several who have been there longer, but they have long been mad.

New York Man Protests Agnainat Being Cut Up Even After Five Doctors Said He Was Dend. Arrangements were recently being made for an autopsy on the body of Simon Greenberg, at New York city, when the supposedly dead man sat up and objected, so the coroner took his ante-mortem statement instead. Five doctors had said Greenberg was as good as dead and had gone their sev- eral ways, and four persons had been arrested on the charge of manslaugh- ter. Magistrate Pool had sent the pris- oners to Coroner Jackson for the in- quest, but the coroner declined to re- veive them becuase the victim had “regained consciousness,” as the po- lice blotter put it. They were sent back to court, where the papers were revised to meet the new conditions. Just what ailed Simon Greenberg is still in dispute, as the usual tests ap- plied failed to show life in the body of Greenberg, but Coroner Jackson and his brother were making other and se- verer tests just before the autopsy, when Greenberg sat bolt upright and protested.

Mascot of a Britixh Regiment Always Turns Out with Soldiers for Religious Services. At Newport, Isle of Wight, off the English coast, Sunday mornings a ram can be seen marching to church at the head of a company of soldiers. This ram is the mascot of the Second bat- talion of the Derbyshire regiment, which is now stationed at Parkhurst barracks, near Newport, and when the battalion turns out for “church parade” the ram is in front, in charge of two soldiers, who lead him by silken cords. The ram can by now means oe said to favor any particular denomination —sometimes it goes to the Church of England, often to the Wesleyan church, and occasionally to the Ro- man Catholic church.
