Time is here for all vege- ! table life to begin to be refreshed, after j the cold of the winter season. We | should learn the lesson taught, and begin again to practice the good resolutions of the new year we may have ! broken. How did Easter originate? For a moment let us think about the reason j for keeping Easter. Nearly 2000 years j ago Jesus was a man in the world. ' He died on the cross to free us from ! sin, and in three days arose from the j dead and went back to Ilis Father in i heaven. As followers of Jesus we keep j Easter Day as a remembrance of the occasion or His resurrection iroiu iue j dead. Easter then signified a new life, or is the time for vegetable life to begin?the time for us to remember the J Saviour who was resurrected from the j dead, and to*"try to renew our faith j in Him and shape our lives by His j example. Again, Easter time is even the season for us to change our mode of dress. I It is the balancing point between cold | and warm weather?hence new bonnets and dresses. Tinted Spectacles For Beautj. "Tinted spectacles," said an optician, ! who displays a sign advertising that j he makes a specialty of them, ''are mainly for women who demand that their beauty, as well as their sight, shall be considered. A light gray or a pale blue eye looks very weak and unattractive through ordinary eyeglasses. By slightly tinting the lens we can add very much to the color of the pupil of the eye and to the general attractiveness of the face. Some oculists send j us prescriptions for tinted glasses, maintaining that for blue or gray eyes ! they are far superior to the ordinary i crystal glasses. Blue eyes absorb more j | light than brown eyes, so that any I tempering of the sun's rays is sure to ' be beneficial."?Times. | I Printing Figure*.

JURY OUT OVER FORTY HOURS Kansas Senator Wat Cliarped With Ac* cepting Compensation to Protect the Interests of a St. Louis Company?One Juror Held Out For Acquittal?Hia Lawyers Make Motion For New Trial. St. Louis. Mo.?United States Senator Joseph Ralph Burton, of Kansas, was found guilty by a jury in the United States District Court here of a violation of Section 1782 of the Revised Statutes. The jury had been out forty hours. Sentence was deferred by Judjre Elmer B. Adams, before whom the trial n-?o hold nnd Rnrtnn was released tin der a $3000 bond to report to the court at such time as he may be required. The Senator was in court and heard the verdict. He looked as if he was going to collapse when the clerk read it. After the matter of bail was arranged Burton left the court room, refusing to say a word about the case. 1 Burton's attorneys filed a motion for arrest of judgment and a uew trial. This will be passed upon later. 1 Senator Burton was found guilty on six counts of the indictment, all those i on which the Government had based 1 its case. Senator Burton was placed on trial j under an indictment of nine counts charging him with accepting, while a member or tne senate, compeusuuuu from the Rialto Grain and Securities Company, a St. Louis get-rich-quick concern, to represent it as an attorney In a case pending against the concern before the Fostoffice Department at Washington. For a time there threatened to be a disagreement in the jury. The jury 5 was brought before Judge Adams, who asked the cause of the long delay. He \ was told that eleven jurors had agreed, { but the twelfth stood alone. The ( court admonished the lone juror that ] the expense of a new trial should not j be incurred because of his failing to agree with the majority of the jurors. A. precedent was quoted, showing that ] the majority of the jurors should de- . side the case before them and a verdiet be rendered accordingly. Tliejury ; was then told to go back and poll its Pftto nnpp morp | , Soon afterward the jury reported, bringing in a verdict, but Judge Adams found that the third count in the inilctment had not been considered, and again he sent the jury back to.consider the case, without having announced the verdict returned. The third time the jury entered the sourt room the result of its deliberations was announced, and United States Senator Burton stood convicted an the charges brought against him in the indictment. The penalty for conviction under Section 1782 is imprisonment in the penitentiary not to exceed two years, a fine not to exceed $10,000 and forfeiture of office. The person convicted is forever debarred from holding an office * ?f public trust. Senator Burton was indicted in January last. Although as a member of Congress he could not be arrested until after that body adjourned, he voluntarily surrendered himself to the prosecuting authorities. He still had :tro years to serve in the Senate. WIFE MURDER AND SUICIDE. Double Crime of a Clerk Employed in the White House Offices. Washington, D. C.?Charles G.

Then several young women who were faint from gas which filled the church arose and went out. Someone shouted "Fire!" Instantly there was a mad rush for exits. The church wus packed to the doors, and in the terrible crush women and children were trampled ruthlessly under foot. Masses of humanity were wedged into every door and window, and there was general confusion and uproar. Wheu police and flreineu had dragged the injured j from the tangled masses of humanity and quieted the excitement it was I found that several scores of person* I had been injured. The Rpv.

The men had broken the windows on both sides of the church and were tossing the children through to the ground. The windows ; were only a few feet high. Excited men to save themselves trampled on the womeh and children in their efforts tr? thrnnsrh t* windows and to the* doors. They lost their heads com! pletely. There were about fifty children in seats in the front part of the church. These little ones had a hard time of I it. Some of the fathers and mothers sat in the rear seats, and when they heard the cry of fire they made a mad plunge to the front of the church to save the children. They had to fight their way through the crowd that was struggling to get to the door. The cries of the children and the shrieks I of the women who were being knocked . down and crushed by the meu filled the church. It was at the entrance that many were crushed and walked on.

'f.yEINZE FIKEO 0,000 I Ordered to Pay Thai Sum fcr Contempt of Court. JUDGMENT ON THE FIRST COUNT I Wilfully Violated the Mining Injunction of the United Slate* Court in th? Michael Davitt and Other Mine Operations?Sentence is Suspended In the Other Cases. * Butte. Mont.?F. A. Heinze and tw* of his mining superintendents. J. H. Treriz and Alfred Frank, were fouod guilty of contempt of the United State# ; Court for wilfuiiy violating the mining \ injunction, stopping work in the Mich- > ael Davitt and other mines, issued by I Judge Knowles. Judge Beatty fined ' Heinze $20,000 and Frank and Treria ' $1000 each. Carlos Warfield. the Montana agent of the Johnstown Mining Company, was discharged, and although the Johnstown company and the Montana Ore Purchasing Company were found guilty of contempt, ho fine was assessed against them. The fines against Heinze and his codefendants were made on one case only, and judgment in the two other cases was suspended. In view of the fact that Heinze had been charged , with tflkina; SI.000.000 worth of ore from the enjoined miuing ground and his engineers admitted that about " $200,000 was taken, the judgment . taken against them is considered light. In passing sentence Judge Beatty; said that in an experience of thirtytwo years in mining litigation be bad never seen a case of such a flagrant violation of a court's order and such contemptuous treatment of a. court as in this case. He said that although HeiSze personally disclaimed responsibility, the evidence and natural conclusions were that he was the directing spirit behind; the work, and that the transfer by him of the ground covered by the injunction to the Johnstown Company was done to evade the injunction and defeat the order of the court. 1 Judge Beatty said his action in the ' other cases would depend on the behavior of the defendants in future and he would give warning that the sever- ' est punishment would be inflicted if the defendants were ever again gufltjj. of a violation of the court's orders. Heinze smiled when the judgmeqtefi the court was-pronounced, and a shade . of disappointment passed over the face nf tha A mn lcn m.l tprl nttornev. who had expected notbiug less-than imprisonment for a year.
