Consequently tb production In 1908 was below tha for the previous year. In 1907 tb cut of 28.850 saw mills was 40.256 154.000 feet. the highest productio ever recorded. Notwlthstandinl therefore, that in 1908 reports wer received from eight per cent mor mills than in 1907. the decrease I lumber cut reported by them we alightly over seventeen per cent.

The, totals for a few State were great in 1908 than in 1907 but this was chiefly due to the large number of reports secured in the States in 1908. In Georgia. for in stance, a particularly close canvas increased the number of mills rep~ort ed nearly one-third, while the resuli ing increase in reports of total prc duction was only six per cent.

The bank guarantee law originated by Bryan and frst adopted in Okla homa has been put in effect in Kan sas by act of a Republican legisla ture. While the law will effect only such banks as elect to comply with it., it is expected that all of the TTT States banks in Kansas will place themselves under ILs provisions with out delay. - The banks under the new law are to be partners in a sort of mutual in surance company. They will have to put up a million dollars in State and ational securities to guarantee the payment of depovts, and the-dues or nsurance premiums will be only one twentieth of one per cent annually. In self-defence the national banks have started a movement to organire an Insurance company among them selves to Insure deposits In their banks. Eventually. however, it is ex pected that many of the national anke.. especially those in the smaller towns will deede to denationalize and become State institutions in order to participate in the guaranty law.

ASSASIN CAPTURED An "At-Home" Ervenin for Indta Students Brought to a eudden Ter mination by a Terrible Tragedy Which Seem to Bare Been Pwe meditated. A dispatch from London rays i startling double assassinatioz of political character occurred lat. Thursday night towards the conclu sion of a public gathering at the Im arial Institute. An Indian student whose name is not known, shot an< killed Lieut. Col. Sir Wm. Hut Curzon Wyllie and Dr. Caias Lalcaca of Shanghai.

He had two revolvers. 9 dagger and a knife. All were new and It is believed the crime was pro. meditated. The gathering at the Imperial In stitute. a building devoted to Indisa and other colonial functions, was :a "at home' to Indian students. D. W. Thorburn. ono of the guests. thui graphically describe, the scene at tending the murder: *'It was near 11 o'cock. and the musical program was just conclud ing when I saw a middle aged Erg lish gentleman conversing with a young Irdian student dressed in a dark jacket and wearing a pale blue turban. "Suddenly the native drew a re volver and dred four shota with the greatest rapidity full at the head of the Englishman. The shots were fired with the muzzle of the weapo close to the victim's face. "Then came another shot as 41. Englishman fell and a sixth whi.h struck an elderly Indian gentlema.n standing a few yards off and who fell, shot in the side. *I rushed at the assassin. and others sprang forward at the same time. We peized him but he strug gle<d. and wresting one hand free, placed the revolver to his forehead and pulled the trigger. It elicked harmlessly, as he had fired all of his shots. "We shouted for doctors and the police. Meantime there was a ter! rible scene and a commotion and the folding doors were fnally clos*ed tc prevent the people from looking on the fearful sight. --A doctor in th'e hall enally came~ forward and knelt at the side of the Englishman. After an examinatiot he said 'nothing can be done tot him.' --At this moment some one se claimed in a horror-strickenf voice 'why it is Curnon Wyille.' then a stately woman in evening dress camt upstairs from the cloak room to die cover what had happened. L~ookins at the recumbent figure and not im mediately recognizing it. she said: --'Poor fellow.'

Tell of Results. The strange story of the spirit o a desd artiet taking possesslon of th4 mind of a living man and impellin. him to carry on the artast's uninish e'd work is related by Prof. Jame, H. Hylop. secretary of the Americat Society for Psychical Research, of N.-w York. who in connection with Prof. I-aac K. Funk. recentiy came Sto t! c.nwlusten that the spirit o! man lives after his body is dead. R.&.:rt Sw ain Gifford. the artist, died in 19G-, at his summer home near New Bedford. Mass. Freder ick L. Thompson. a goldsmith. had met Mr. Gilrord only twice and knpw him but slightly. Thompson had never indicated any ability as an artiet until six months after the death of Gifford. when he did not even know that Mr. Gifford had died. He was suddenly seized with an im pulse to paint a picture. and going to work on it. be was surprised at his ability. While he was painting the voice of Mr. Gifford seemed to tell him to continue his work he had started. Mr Thompson continued painting pictures. always psessed by the spirit of Mr. Gifford. and found a ready market for them. Many pur chasers commented on their f-imi larity to Mr. Gifford's paintings. Fearing that his mind was giving away in 1907. Mr. Thompson called on Prof. Hyslop. By arrangement he made several sketches for pictures at the instance of what he considered to be Gifford's spirit. Prof. Hyslop looked these up in a safe and then Thompson went to New Bedford and called on Gifford's widow. where he had never been and whom he had never met. One of the first things Mrs. Gifford showed him was a ketch which Mr. Gifford had made a short time before his death and which had been locked up and seen by no one until a few days ago. ien Thompson called. The sketch was exactly similar in every detail to one of the sketches Thompson had left with Prof. Hyslop. This fact and other equaly sur prising features in the case prompt Prof. Hyslop to L -a a stronger be lief that the spirit lives after death and that the artist GIfford's spirit Is in communication with this world through the medium of the gold smith Thompson.

Solomon Shepard. a no gro. according to his own confes sion made at Durhar4. N. C.. Mon day. shot and killed Engineer Holt. The crime was committed last De cermb er, but the negro was arrested only a few days ago in Columbus. Ohio, where his connection with the j case was first learned through his protestations of innocence of it. The police had taken him in custody on another charge. In his confession Shepard said he was returrang to Durham from Ef- e land. 19 mines away. after a visit < to his sweetheart, when the killing occurred. He said he remained in Durham until six weeks ago. Shepard spent a whole day read- r ing his Bible recently and "getting I religion," and when Dr. N. M. John- t son entered the jail to minister to t a sick prisoner he called him to the t door of his cell and laid bare the facts in the mysterious murder. N Shepard says that in the night of s the tragedy he was kicked off a e train by a brakeman and was in search of the brakeman to kill him c when he found him. with several j other men. on the cab talking with If Engineer Holt. Crawling nearer the c engine he raised his gun and fired. the shot striking the engineer. He then walked up the track. and seeing a light in the Greenbe-rg s house. fired at it "just to scare sornm- S tody."

Man Aested on Charge of Wrung- t t Ing Ycang GirL t When given a hearing in Po:li j, Court Tuesday morning. J. D. c Degarcia. al!as DeCris, was remand ed to the Superior Court on a charge a I of committing a criminal assault on Orrine Massey. aged 14. of Savan nah. Ga. Both parties are white.|e and the crime has shocked all Ba vnnah. The testimony brought out the fact that DeCris. as he is best known. j made' a habit of going among the poore'r classes and ofrering to get positions for the girls in the family. n this case he was on the way to a bogus canning factory to get the young girl a place to work. He took her into a secluded place and hen committed his dastardly deed. DeCris claimed he was nowhere neart the place at the time, but a longi list of witnesses testified to having seen -imn with the girls, one other: having accompanied him on the same( mission, and having been left be hind uder a slight excuse. DeCis is a brother of Mamie Do- I Cris. the diamond queen, who several years ara, made most sensatIonal charges against a Georgia peniten-1 tiary keeper. There is little sympa thy for the man here. and DeCris'1 trial will be awaited with much interest. LAYS WONDROtS EGGS. Picture of Duck on One and of Eagle on the Other.

Although the shocks had no such errible conseqiences, the 25.000 esidents of that city were thrown ato a state of terror. They ran into he streets panic-stricken and nearly he ntire population is encamped in he open. The broken wals of the old ruins ere thrown to the ground and Mes ina was for a few minutes smother d in a cloud of dust. The casualties were few, and the nly persons killed r-o far as Is known rere a young woman and her in ant. The woman :ad gone thare ny a few days asgo and had settled : rooms which the great earthquake ad left relatively undamaged. She ,as standing at the door when the hock occurred and rushed Inside to ave her child.

Former Room Mate of Aleged Slay er of Ee Sigel Confronted by Witen A dispatch from New York says the complacency of Chung Sin, once the room mate of Leon Ling. who is wanted for the murder of Elsie SIgel, on June 9. went all to pieces Wednes day afternoon. when Arthur Logan. an expresman. walked into the cell where Chung Sin is held as more than a material witneas. and brusquely shout.-d "Hulo.* Logan ii the man who carried the trunk containing the body of the girl down-stairs from Leor.' room on the day of the murder. He had told the police that Chung Sin Is one of the men be saw sn the top floor of the house. Chung Sin, on the contrary. has sworn by all his ancestors that he never saw the trunk packed or moved. *You are the man," Logan said in Chung Sin's presence. "who told me to take the trunk down-stairs care fully. There was another alra fel low with you in the room-the same that came over to the office half an hour before to give me the order to call for the trunk." "All mistake," protested Cbung Sin, "never see you before." The Chinaman's voice broke, and he shook as In fear as Logan was led out, still positive In his identil cation. Chung was not kept walting long before he had another visitor-this time Martin Luria. the chauffeur. who drove a Chinaman and a trunk from the Harlem laundry to a chop suey restaurant in Newark on the mcrning of June 10. The police had a theory that Chung Sin might have been the fare and not Leon Ling. But Luria could not identify Chung Sin. and still believes that it was Leon he had in his taxicab.

LEON LING'S BODY Amough Comete ........ Was impossible Thursday NIght La Salient Featues the Body Bea a Marked Resembance to the Miss Ing Chinamar A disatch from New York Thursday says, although complete IdentifIcation was impossible, there appeared to be a strong probability that the body of a Chinaman, which was found 2oating In the Hudson River in the upper part of the city. was that of Leon Ling. or William L. Leon. the murderer of Elsie Sigel. The man's height. weight and general appearance tallies with that of Leon LIng. but as the body was nude, except for a silk undershirt. and had been in the water for more than a week, a thorough examina tion will be necessary. Coroner Mo. Fonald. who was the first to Inspect the body. believes that It is Leon's as do a number of policemen. but until measurements and facial char acteristics are carefully gone over the identifcation will remain In doubt. It it Is Leon the cause of his death will be another mystery. although ane theory, that of suicide. would appear reasonable. In salient features the body bore a marked reemblance'to Leon Ling. The teeth were good, as were Leon's; the height about live feet. four Inch es. which was Leon's he'ght, and the weight 125 pounds. which was about Leon's. The age appeared to be about twenty-five or thirty years. Leon's age was given out by the police as thirty. An autopsy will be performed. The coroner's jury was unable to arrive at a conclusion as to how the Chinaman met his death. Early Thursday morning Ung Yow. an inconspicuous, hard working Chi nese laundryman of the East Side. was found by his neighbors strung - between two wash tube with his head beneath the water of one and his feet in the other. There were bloody fnger marks on his neck, bloody footprints on the floor and a knot ted cord about the man's neck. In the cash drawer the police found one cent. All attempts to connect the murder of U-ng Yow with the murder of EAsie Sigel by Leon Ling have failed. nvestigation soon showed that ug Tow was beaten over the head with fat irons, probably by more than one -ran. and then 11ung It the nbs. He probably died by drowlfng chile unconscious. CHINESE DELITEREE. Out law Is Making Much Trouble For the French. French colonial authorities In Up per Tonquin. China, are having no end of trouble In their efforts to check the onslaughts of De Tham, a notcrious outlaw, and his followers. From private advices the government is informed that for hurmantaian and political reasons the offcials are uable to adopt the necessary sharp and ruthlees measures which the forays against villages favoring French rule seem to demand. De Tham's fanatical followers have now spread the report that he Is the diinely appointed deliverer of the Chinese from the French. His men are armed with rifles while the na tives defend themselves only with sharpened sticks. Chinese whom are favorable to the French. when caught by the outlaws, are ca.'ried to the forest, tied to trees and there left to die, after their tongues heve been mutilated. De Tham appears to be guarded by a special providence. He has never been captured, although at times he could touch the French soldiers as they pased his hiding place. On one occasion they pressed so close that the intrepid outlaw killed his wife and child to make certain his es cape. Frequently he has sent mem bers of his band to parley for sur render while he and the rest hay. wormed their way -out of a tight place to theIr stronghold in the hills.
