tlon Is Exemplified The bill recent ly Introduced In the Illinois Legislature by Mr Donahue to eliminate from the Supreme court the state Its mpst vita and Important Tver Is a surprise to afi lovers of religious liberty The bill is introduced to prevent a re view by the supremo court of the verdici of a jury in regard to facts In contests over wills This covers one of the most Important points that can come before any court The principle embraced in our jury system is ver fine but in practice it is quite defective Today there Is being hold In the great Intellectual and 1 education1 city at Nashville Tenn one of the most important murder trials ever held Jn our country our members of the jury who are to decide the fate of the murderer of the eminent statesman Senator Cannae RETT Bloomington Citizen Well Known as Poet and Musician Married to Woman rom Windsor Mo has been received In this city of the marrlagqln Kansas City of Mr John Myers of Bloomington and Miss Minnie Gee Barrett which was' celebrat ed on Tuesday if wuek Rev Church was the minister The home cf the bride Is at Windsor Mo whore she Is said to be very popular After a tour In the south the couple will return to TUnnmlnftnn and reside at 924 West ront street Mr Myers is a well known rest dent of this city He is a man of mean land has been for some years known tor his sxill witr the violin for one of hit i years and for his production in tne way of poetry I It seems that behind the simple an nouncement of the wedding there is something of a romance According' to the story sent out from Windsor Mo th home of the bride the marriage was the direct result of the fact that Miss Bar cannot read or write the other eight never read the newspapers and these twelve ignorant men are to decide the question of life and death of two of their fellowmen Where can you find a man of any reason who will say the verdict of these Ignorant hobos should be a finality and not subject to review by a higher court But you say the Donahue bill only ap plies to wills Evn so then consider that nil the pr tporty of this country passes thru probate In about thirty years time and you will get some Idea of the vast Importance of the bill Worse than all it Is a vital blow rett secured a copy of a book of poems published by Mr Myers about a year ago The first wife of Mr Myers died about three years ago After Miss Barrett read the poems she wrote to the author and in this way a correspondence was begun wnlcK In a short time resulted In an en gagement and marriage Mr Myeri is 74 years of age and the bride is 27 WILLIAM SALE Largest Public Sale In the County This The Total of tha Sale Was $988350 against religious liberty Ietjne show you how It might work John Smith Is a wealthy man whn by a long life of hard work and economy has accumulated a fine fortune Ho has no children He la an ardent Methodist He makes a will in which he bequeathes most of his property to the building of Methodist church and the founding of a library for the use of all the people Romo of his relatives become dlssatls fled and Institute suits to break the will They claim that John Smith was Incompetent to make a will on accoun of insanity on religion In proof of this cfaarge they bring many witnesses who testify under oath that John Smith believed that a mortal man named Joshua suspended the laws of the universe stopped the wheels of time commanded the sun and moon to stand still and they obeyed him Thia is a frightful charge to make against the sanity of John Smith and an effort Is made to prove that nil Methodists believe th same story about Joshua but the judge rules this out and restricts the testimony tn John Smith Now be it remembered that no Metho dist nnr any one who ever attended a Methodist meeting or knew anythin about Methodism Is allowed to serve on the and consider that the judge might hn prejudiced against the Metho dist religion and his rulings and Instruc tions might nil be against it Now let us suppose that this Jury are as Ignorant the one before whom the Carmack case Is now being tried at Nashville and where is there a sensible honest man In all the land that will sav Hint the verdict of the jury In the John Smith ease shall bo a finality and not subjec4 to review by the supreme tcourt? or the credit of the legal profession the Donahue bill ought to be withdrawn it
