Conscience^ stricken after 45 years. Rer. W. H. McCart will go on trial In Newton su perior court Monday to answer for the munler of Monroe Smith, a farm er, near Starrsrale, this county, whom he killed In 1870 when resenting an insult to his mother. McCart just returned from San Ra ' fael. Calif., having been In the West for more than forty years, a fugitive from justice. He was under indict ment here. On hi? return he met Henry Mortin, a former policeman, whom he knew as a boy. and told why he had re turned. The story of the killing was told this morning by Horton. now a man more than 60 years old. "Smith had abused McCart's moth er. beating her in the face, about the bead and otherwise bodily injuring her." Horton said. "The boy was not at hom? at the time, but he hoard of it from other persons, and he went to Smith's place to see about it. "McCart asked Smith why he had abused his mother. Smith admitted that he had beaten Mrs. McCart. and threatened to do the boy likewise, whereupon McCart shot twice, the second bullet killing Smith." McCart today said he wanted to stand trial at once for the crime. "1 hare made all arrangements with both God and man except this one thing, and I want to get this set tled before I die." Major John B. Davis, now Clerk of the Sup??rior Court here, is the only surviving grand Juror that indicted . McCart. A TREAT FOR TIRED FEET.

Putnam Stevens, of the Shrlners. will leave Seattle tomorrow for his homo In Portland, Me., after having visited Juneau, Skagway and other places in Alaska. Mr. Stevens returned to Seattle from Alaska last Tuesday and since that time has spent much of his time with his son, C. P. Stevens, of this city: The imperial potentate expects to return to Seattle some time dur ing the coming year and pay an of ficial visit to Nile Temple. ? "I must say after having visited ev ery. state In the Union, the Panama canal and the Phillipplnes, that I have never been accorded such hospitality nor have I seen such beautiful scen ery as on this trip. "It was very hot In Maine when I left. The weather since my visit to the Northwest has been one of the most pleasant features of my trip. The hottest day I have experienced on this trip was at Whltehorse." At Skagway the imperial potentate was met by six Shrlners that live in that town. On the dock was a long strip of sand, on which stood a don key with a boy on its back carrying tho sign, "Welcomo to Skagway by Skagway's Six and the Alaska Camel" THE RISING TIDE OF PROSPERITY CONTINUES BOSTON, July 29.?The possibili ties of the final American note re maining a market factor seem very doubtful. No answer is required of Germany, no questions propounded? and though the message is in essence an ultimatum there is no time for a reply. Already early dispatches from Berlin indicate that there will bo no rejoinder before the middle of Aug ust in all probability. If that is the situation it can be pre dicted by the merest tyro that Amer ican business will not mark time in the interim. Already the Steel Cor poration is running at nearly full ca pacity and trade reports foreshadow further marking up of prices early in August. Undoubtedly a good per centage of this activity Is due to war orders, but that phase simply strengthens the .fundamental position as the big domestic business that will be created by the general trade im provement will be booked at the high ?nd profitable prices. And the point is everywhere made that the railroad buying need not ap pear for months to ensure the per manence of the present prosperity. How it can be many months longer delayed is hard to understand. Doubt as to the volume of the much heralded war orders should be large ly dispelled by the definite announce ment from the Americnn Can Co. that $40,000,000 of munitions had been contracted for by the allies from it, and that the prospects were favorable to the doubling of this amount in the near future. It is evident that these orders are staggering In volume and in profits and their effect upon all business is bound to be very stim ulating. The rising tide of industrial pros perity, the steady improvement in railroad earnings, the wealth that is pouring out of the country's-mines agd the rich harvests just ahead ought undeniably to furnish the foundation for a lasting prosperity, conceived perhaps through Europe's adversity but now lusty enough to stand on its own feet.?(Boston News Bureau.) BOSTONIANS ARE TO STAY OVER ?+? The Bostonians played to another large house in the Orpheum last night, the bill being "The Dream Girl," a 2 act operetta. Miss Inn Mitchell, tho dainty and pretty little maid who ap peared in the title role, was at her best, and the support given her by Miss Thorn Hellen, Miss Dixie White, Miss Billie O'Neil and Miss Patsio Henry, also was high-class. Frequent encores attested to the popularity of tho Bostonians. "By Heck." by Miss Canfleld, "Good Lit tle Devil." by Hiss Henry. "In the Candle Light." by Miss Hellen. and the new song success, "Ting-a-Ling," by a quintet, were umong the best song numbers, while "A Little Bit pf Heaven." Chauney Olcott's latest Irish song, sun by Miss Hellen, was beau tiful.

Interesting and Well-Told Solution of the Unfinished Problem Story by Charles Dickens?at the Ly ric Theatre Sunday. The Lyric theatre Is the most adapted place In the city for run ning big features, as it has the room and the proper ventilation and good accomodation for Indies and children, also gentlemen, so announces Manager Gross. The ^yric theatre also has an up to-date equipment of machinery for pictures, and the best Is guaranteed. The management also guarantees to the public of Juneau if they come out to the Lyric on Sundays. Mondays and Tuesdays, that they will see some thing out of the regular run in motion pictures and in big features. The ad mission Is only 10 and 25c, owing that the Lyric- holds from 600 to 700 peo ple. The Lyric theatre will run from 5 to 9-part special features every week. When Mr. Gross was In the States, ho had secured the World Film Cor poration features. Box Office Attrac tions, and the Fox Film Corporation. These corporations arc the leading ones in the States for producing big features. "The Mystery of Edwin Drood"?In Ave gigantic parts?is the first of these features to be run, It is made by the World Famous Film Corpora tion. the story is written by Charles Dickens, which he never finished. The story Is clear and well told and follows closely In its earlier portions the line of development followed by Chas. Dickens, perhaps a little too closely its last respect as those who have not read the fiction story may have a little difficulty at first In realiz ing the relationship of the characters. On the other hand, the main mystery theme is so clearly and Interestingly dealt with, the acting so nearly per fect that the spectator is held en lb railed from the beginning to ?nd. On the whole, however, for accura cy of detail, comprehensiveness of tcratmcnt and a delicate and definite Interpretation of Dickens, the picture will rank with "Dante's Ihrcrno" and 'Quo Vadls" as among the great and emarkabte achievement of the mov ing picture art.
