dict not been accompanied by a recom- |
mendation to the mercy of the court. |
The guilt of the man has never been
seriously questioned by anybody, ex-
cepting the twelve jurymen who ata
previous trial acquitted him. Why
then should the jury ask merey for
him? It is equivalent to saying: the
evidence was so plain that we had to
convict him; but, as it was only gov-
ernment money he stole, please don’t
be too hard on him. Application for
a new trial has been made and when
it is refused, as it is almost certain to
pe, an appeal will be taken. The
Court of Appeals will not sit again un-
til fall. Meanwhile Howgate will

Silver bullion is now quoted at
$.67 1-4 an ounce, which is four cents
higher than it was one year ago, and
Treasury officials believe that it will
go higher, on account of the Chinese
demand for silver to pay Japan the
war indemnity, which at the present
price of silver will require in the neigh-
borhood of $148,000,000 of bullion,
The demand for silver to meet the gen.
eral expenses of China and Japan in
the later war is estimated to have al-
ready reduced the available stock of
private silver bullion in the United
States to considerably less than 1,000,
000 ounces. The Government has, of
course, a much greater amount than
that, but the bullion owned by the
government isn’t in the market and is
not likely to be, certainly not for some

They Beat Her,
One day last week five women of
Axe Mann, who had a spite at Michael
Daugherty, undertook to catch him
and flog him, but Michael was too wa-
ry for them. Failing in this they
caught Mrs. Daugherty as she had
driven the cow to water, knocked her
off the bridge into the creek and then
beat her with stones and clubs into in-
sensibility. The chastisement was so
severe that Mrs. Daugherty is now in
a precarious condition and may yet
die. No arrests have been meade but
if the whipping proves fatal, there un-
doubtedly will be,
