A JURY PLEA THAT FAILED Bryan’s Adopted Son. How the Late John W. Henry Lost a Case. Macon, Mo, April 8.—"Not long after the Civil war it was the habit of attorneys to appeal to the politi- cal feelings of the jury if the signe were right,” remarked Major B. R. Dysart, a widely known lawyer. “The late Judge John W. Henry, who was then # resident of Macon, | was assisting in the prosecution of a man on a charge of murder. The de- | fendant was a Southerner and most | of the jurymen were in sympathy with the lost cause, Anticipating the plea of the defense, Judge Henry, | in a fine burst of eloquence, told the | ury how he had raised @ regiment ef Southern troopers in Jackson | eounty and crossed the Missourt Myer on thin iee to join General Price, This was to show that as far as loyalty to the South wasconcern- | ed the prosecution was well fortified, “General John B.

About Fifteen Killed Southern Storm. New Orleans, April.—About fifteen lives were lost Friday by a tornado which swept across portions of three gulf states and was traceable for a distance of 300 miles. The tornado moved from west to east, crossing the southern extremity of Louisiana and Mississippi and striking lnto Alabama for a short distance. Por- sions of four towns were devastated and damage approximatiog 4 mil- lion dollars was done. in the The tornado began at Alexandria, La , soon after 1 o'clock; killed fonr r persons there, injuring sixtecu orb ers, Soon after daylight It neared the Mississippi river, killing tive per- sons atJackson, La , while at Bayou Sara, La., at least half a dozen oth- ers are reported killed. The tornado next appeared at Carson, Miss About noon near Selma, Ala., the inbabitants saw whirling clouds rise fo the air and the storm disappeared Abous twenty homes tn Alexandria were completely demolished, fifty were damaged und altogether about 100 buildtogs were wrecked, tnelud- ing several business houses. S-veral houses were blown down at Pineville and {1 jurles were reported. The hall did much damage to crops. — The asylum for the insane at Jack- son, La, was wrecked with a loss of about $200,000, In addition to three women inmates killed, many recelved injuries.

Japs may rush in where Chinese fear to tread, and toselecé an American politician for a father does not seem to come within the purview of the statute which prohibits laborers un- der contract from entering our coun- try. So one morning Mr. Bryan, anewerlng {n person a ring at the door—it is the simple custom of the famlly—was confronted by a trim Japanese boy, who remarked with simple directness: “T have come.”’ didn’t cross the Missouri river on the ice! No, sir. They could have | done {t, same 48 Judge Henry’s men, | but they didn’t. Why?

The following communication has been recefVed from a subscriber, W. P. Reeves: “T would Iike to know If {t {s prac: | ticable to sow a little flax seed In the small grain crops, particularly among oats and barley. If so,how much would you advise sowing? My thought is to grow something that will lessen the amount of oil meal needed next year for feeding par- poses.” We have tried the plan of sowing ten pounds of flax seed per acre with the oat crop and have found the re- sults to be eminently satisfactory.

Boars the sha Kind You Have Always Bought Signature we Roosevelt Wrong in Frisco. New York, April 5 —Nicholas Mur- ray Butler, president of Columbia university, in a statement jnet issued, declares he believes President Roose- velt’s action {n the San Francisco school question was in the wrong direction and that San Francisco had pursued the wisest couree in her solutign of the problem. Dr. Butler has just returned from the Pacific coast and has had per- sonal observation of the whole ques- tion within the past month. Unless the nation as a whole takes on Itself the taek of dealing with the Japanese education problem, and that of Oriental immigration as well, Dr. Butler thinks that San Francisco, although she held an {&olated posi- tion in regard to the matter in her own state, was perfectly justified in acting as she did.

New York, April 8.—The inelde tacts concerning the $200,000 fund which Mr. Harriman raised tn thecampaign of 1904 at the request of Pre-ident Roosevelt were given to the Post- Dispatch by @ fiuancier of interna- tional standing, who was made familiar with the details at the time, He sald there were four subscribers to the fund, each of whom gave $50,- v0. They were, he said, KE. H. Har- riman, Hamilton McK, Twombley, J Pierpont Morgan and the fourth, to the best of his recollection, was William K, Vanderbilt. He was not absolutely certain about Mr. Van- derbilt being a subscriber, but he was positive about the other three, The publication in Ss Louts exclu sively fn the Post-Dispatch of the Harriman- Webster letter, in which the railroad magnate asserted that he had been asked by President Roosevelt to save him and the Re publican party in this state in the campaign of 1904, has astounded the nation. The financial centers of thecountry were shaken by the publication. Men of the highest position and greatest affairs dared not express an opinion of the probable results of the Harriman confessions. ~ President Roosevelt, in denying Harriman’s assertions, practically in toto, accused Harriman of having deliberately told an untrath; of being an enemy of the Republic; of being woree than men like Debs and Moyer and Haywood. Edward H. Harriman has made public another statement in which he meets the accusations of the Presl- dent directly. He affirms all that the Webster letter, as printed in the Post-Dispatch, contained. Heclaims to regret that the letter, which was written only for his eyes and Sidney Webster’s, should have reached print, but he declares that he cannot with- draw one word of it. It 1s the passage back of the lie. Due To the Editor.
