THE PRESIDENT'S PISTOL. A Bad Example to Carry Weapon Says Boston Traveler. That the president of the United States uses the rear pocket which most citizens give up to a key ring or pocket handkerchief, or if they come from <4no license" towns occasionally to a flask, to carry aa ugly looking revolver of imposing size and un? doubted death-dealing quality has been demonstrateu several times. ? Some months ago Mr. Roosevelt paid ? a visit to the immigration station at j New York to preach to the incoming j aliens on the virtues of self-restraint and obedience to law, etc. As he stepped down the ladder from the tug j a flirtation and careless breeze dis? closed the butt of a huge shooting iron. The presidential visit did not, however, bring about the repeal cf ] the rule in vogue generally at immi? grant stations, that deadly weapons shall be taken from incoming aliens, as their possession has been shown to tend to disorder and lead to murder. Last Saturday the president made the address at the laying of a Masonic corner stone. As the Masonic i official ig charge fastened the apron of the order about the place where the presidential waist cnce was, he clumsily parted the presidential coat tails, revealing to the crowd what was probably the same shooter that ac? companied Mr. Roosevelt to Ellis kland, and which appears to be his constant companion. The speech which followed was, as usual, elo? quent in its appeal to brother love and the observance of the fraternal objects of the organization. At a time when the authorities of all the large cities are united in the effort to en? force the laws prohibiting the carry? ing of deadly weapons, such an exhi b^tion is giving the very worst possi? ble example. What parent can argue successfully with his boy that it is WTong to carry a revolver when the boy can crush the old man by simply asking him to read the papers? With such a model in the high place, how can we teach the aliens that to do likewise is wrong? We wonder why he does it? A six-shooter in the presidential stern pocket will not ward off an attack, while the fact that it is carried there is at once an excuse and an invitation to anarchy. Boston Traveler.

Western farmers estimate that one man saved them fully 510,000,000 in wheat this season by stopping the ravages of the "green bug" that prom? ised early in the spring to devastate the wheat belt. It did do vast dam? age in Oklahoma and Texas. It had entered Southern Kansas, when S. J. Hunter professor of entomology in the Kansas State University, be? gan experiments with parasites to destroy it. He found a bee which multiplies faster than the bug and destroys the latter over large are?s. The larvae cf thir parasite he sent cut to infested fields. Over 12,000 boxes were sent; express companies carried them free; millers and farm? ers paid the bills after the univer? sity allowance was exhausted; 47 counties were covered at the rate of 10.000 parasites for every SO acres; a total of over 300,000,000 parasites be? ing distributed in Kansas alone. The distribution began April 17; by the last week of May the bug had prac? tically disappeared, and the wheat crop was free from this danger. Prof. Hunter has received hundreds of letters thanking him for his work. This is one of the ways the western schools are helping the farmers to? ward improved agriculture and Prof. Hunter has taken i high place in con? sequence of his success and prompt? ness in dealing with the new pest.

Important Complaint Filed With the Commerce Commission by National Banking Association. Washington, June 28.-One of the mosi; important cases yet filed with the interstate commerce commission under the new railroad rate law was presented to the commission today by the American Bankers' association, i In brief the complainant alleges that 1 the express companies of the United States,- through their power and fa- ? cilities as common carriers, are us- i urping the prerogatives of banking associations, and at the same time are employing the capital of the banks of the country in the conduct of their business. It is alleged that the ope? rations of the express companies in the conduct of their exchange busi? ness is seriously detrimental to the in? terests of the banks, and that the use of the interstate facilities and the re? lations which the express companies have with the railroads enable the companies seriously to discriminate against regular commercial opera? tions of banking institutions. The complaint is directed against the Adams Express Company, the Uni? ted States Express Company, the American Express Company, the Pa? cific Express Company, the Wells Fargo Company, the Southern Ex? press Company and the Great North? ern Express Company.

NEW TRIAL REFUESED KENNY. Chief Justice Pope Denies Appeal of i the Defense. Columbia, June 28.-In an opinion | filed today the supreme court refused i a new trial- for George Kenny, the negro envicted last fall at Charleston of the murder of Changang Guard Herman G. Stello. Kenny will hang unless the pardon board intervenes, which it is not likely to do. Kenny, Harman Wilson and Alonzo Goodwin formed a conspiracy to escape, and when Stello handed in some water to them Goodwin and Wilson seized him and Kenny cut his throat. The opinion, which is written by Chief Justice Pope, states that when the case first came up for trial D. B. Summers, a negro lawyer employed by the defense, sent word he was sick and could not represent Kenny, whereupon the court appointed Wha ley & Bissell. At the term following, however, Summers appeared and took , charge of it Grace & Logan appeal? ed to the supreme curt, this firm be? ing employed by friends of Kenny's dead father.-News and Courier. ?Nearly all old-fashioned cough j syrups are constipating, especially those that contain opiates.

June 26.-A coprighted dispatch from the Publisher's Press staff corres? pondent, Francis Warrington Daw? son, says that Southern France is in the throes of a political convulsion strikingly analagous to that in the scuth in the United States in 1860. Following a summary of Dawson's messages, the government is trying to conceal the fact that the wine growers' movement has not collapsed, but is brewing. A war time press cen? sorship exists. The causes ?re the insistance of the wine growers on principles of states' rights and the attempt of the French wine trust to defraud the public and ruin the wine growers by a process of adulteration. The fact that no universal use of sugar in adulteration is applicable to all France on account OL the soil and climate is a factor en? tering in the states' rights doctrine issued. The affected districts desire to manage their own affairs, and re? turning to the revolutionary is partial autonomy. The greed of the wine trust is largely responsible for the present condition. If the demands of the wine growers regarding adulteration are granted, the trust may lose mil? lions. The struggle is a fight between the Paris trust and the Midi peasants. No official business is transacted over two thousand towns. Fear of another revolution is felt. Was in Poor Health for Years. ?Ira W. Kelley, of .Mansfield, Pa., writes: "I was in poor health for two years, suffering from kidney and bladder trouble, and spent consider? able money consulting physicians without obtaining any marked bene? fit, but was cured by Foley's Kidney Cure, and I desire to add my testi? mony that it may be the cause of re? storing the health of others.''

Lisbon, Portugal, June 26.-Fired cn by troops, hunted down like rab? bits through narrow streets and final? ly pursued by cavalry which rode down men, women and children! over a hundred persons were killed and fully six hundred wounded as a result of violent street demonstrations against the government in three towns north of Braga. Mobs paraded the streets, crying "Down with Abso? lutism" and decrying King Carlos' at? tempt to rule without parliament. A mutiny at Operto added seriousness to the situation in Portugal. Possibly bankruptcy faces the country. G. B. Burhans Testifies After 4 Years *G. B. Burhans, of Carlisle Center, N. T., writes: "About four years ago I wrote you stating that I had been entirely cured of a severe kidney trouble by taking less than two bot? tles of Foley's Kidney Cure. It en? tirely stopped the brick dust sedi? ment, and pain and symptom^ of kid? ney disease disappeared. T am glad to say that I have never had a return of any of tho?o symptoms during the four years that have elapsed and I am evidently entirely cured, to stay cured, and heartily recommend Fo? ley's Kidney Cure to any one suffer? ing from kidney or bladder trouble." Sensible Girl. The subject, "Beyond the Alps Lies Italy," was recently assigned to a Kansas girl graduate. The following was the result: "I don't care a cent whether Italy lies beyond the Alps or in Missouri. I do not expect to set the river on fire with my future ca? reer. I am glad that I have a very good education, but I am not going to misuse it by writing poetry or es? says on the future woman.

It will also como handy when I want to figure out how many pounds of soap a woman' can get for three dozen eggs at the grocery. So I do not begrudge the time I spent acquiring it. But my ambition does not fly so high. I just want to marry a man who can run an 80-acre farm and who has no female relatives to come around and try to boss the ranch. I will agree to cook dinners fer him that won't send him to an early grave, and lavish upon him a wholesome affection, and to see that his razor has not been used to cut broom wire when he wants to shave. In view of all this I do not care if I get a little rusty on the rule of three and kindred things as the years go by."-Kansas City Journal.

Jury Was Out Only Forty-five Min? utes-Verdict Not a Surprise. : Houston. Va.. June 29.-After be? in in the jury room 45 minutes the i jury this evening- returned a verdict ! of "not guilty" in the case of former Judge William G. Loving of Nelson i county and manager of the Virginia estate of Thomas F. Ryan, who was j placed on trial here last Monday be j fore the circuit court of Halifax, Judge William R. Barksdale presid? ing, for the murder of Theodore Es- j tes, son of Sheriff M K. Estes of Nel- | son county. Judge Loving shot and j killed young Estes on April 22 at Oak Ridge, following a buggy ride Estes had taken with the judge's daughter, Miss Elizabeth Loving, who told her father that her escort had drugged and assaulted her. The jury retired at 4.45 o'clock aad from that time until the verdict was returned the defendant remained in the seat he had occupied since the trial began and surrounded by the members of his immediate family with the exception of his daughter, Elizabeth, who was not present today.' At 5.45 o'clock a loud knock was heard on the door of the jury room and Judge Barksdale, who had taken his seat on the bench, ordered the sheriff to preserve order and caution? ed the large crowd that had remained not to give vent to their emotions when the verdict was announced. The verdict of acquittal was read by Fore? man B. S. McCraw. Judge Barksdale thanked the jurors for their attendance upon court at great sacrifices. He declared that he believed the verdict was in accordance with the conscientious views' of the jury. After the jury had been polled Judge Loving, his wife and other rel? atives shook hands with and thanked each juror. Tears streamed from the eyes of the defendant and his wife. Judge Loving was congratulated by many of his friends present, though in accord with the warning of Judge Barksdale there was no noisy demonstration. Foreman McCraw, a merchant and farmer, said that when the jurors en? tered the room one of them did not exactly understand all of the instruc? tions of the court and these were read to him. Mr. McCraw said that when he called for a vote and requested all who favored the acquittal of the de fesndant to hold up-their right hands. On the first ballot every hand prompt? ly went up. When asked what the basis of the verdict was he said "in? sanity" and that he and the other members of the jury believed that Judge Loving was out of his mind at 'the time he killed young Estes. The stress, he said, had been brought by the story told him by his daughter. ?Bad sick headaches, biliousness or constipation are quickly relieved by Dewitt's Little Early Risers.
