Jefferson City, Mo., Nov. 7.—After having been out 16 hours the jury in the case of Senator Frank H. Farris of Crawford county, indicted on the charge of bribery connected with the defeat of the bill to repeal the anti- alum law at the 1901 session of the Missouri legislature, reported to Judge Graves at 10:00 o'clock this morning that they were unable to reach a verdict. Judge Graves, saying he did not desire to keep them longer confined, ordered them discharged, after thanking them for the patience of their deliberations. When the jury filed outofthe court room Judge Graves announced that he would set Dec. 14 as the date of the new trial. The case of Senator Smith, also accused of having received $1000 for his vote In behalf of the Baking Pow- der Trust, was redocketed for Dec. 16. To the Post-Dispatch Foreman Ross made this statement: “The jury took about fourteen bal- lote, standing at the close eight for conviction and four for acquittal.

From this must be deducted reservations of one acre for each country school, for cemeteries and small reservations for miseion schools and new towns along railreads, This allotable land is valued at $13,183,000 There is now being alloted to each citizen $325.60 worth of this land, The rolls show that there will be 40,000 Cherokees on the final rolls, The per capita share of each, not deducting the reservations above mentioned, would be $318 32, leaving a surplus of $2.72 in land due each citizen.
