shepherd's Sentence Confirmed.

Orlando, Fla, Oct. 1.-THE supreme
court of the state has affirmed the decis-
ion in the case of ]. D. Shepherd.
On the morning of May 70, 1894, at the
little railroad station of Wekya. six
miles northwest of Orlando, on the Flor
IDA Central and Peninsula railroad J. d.
shepherd shot and killed Luther Walk
err. Walker was Shepherds brother-in-
lava brother of Mrs. Shepherd A few
days before the occurrence Walker had
been here, and had caused a warrant TO
be issued for Shepherd. 1t seemed that
Walker feared that Shepherd would use
violence toward his wife, as the domes-
TIC affairs of the family were not run
ning smoothly. Shepherd was brought
into Orlando and put under bonds to
keep the peace. This action angered him
toward Walker The two families were
neighbors. on Sunday morning after
being put under bond Shepherd sent one
Of his boys over TO the house of his
brother-in-laW, with message asking
him to come over Walker complied.
Upon arriving at the gate Shepherd ap-
peared at the rear corner of the house
with a shotgun in his hands and at once
fired the fatal shot He was subsequent
~ indicted, and on the 10th of the fol-
loving NoKemper ne was tried and found
guilty OF murder IN the first degree.
Judge Broome sentenced him to be hang
ed. shepherds attorneys moved for a
new trial The motion was denied Then
his case was appealed, and has been held
up until now. Meanwhile Shepherd has
been kept in confinement in the Orlando
jail. NOW comes WORD from Tallahassee
that the decree Of the lower court has
been affirmed, and unless a communal
ton of sentence is secured he must
hang.
Prior to the murder Shepherd had
borne the reputation of being a peace
full citizen. He had owned and operated
a sawmin near here. He was not dis
sipated man, and certainly was not re-
garded as dangerous. It was claimed at
the time of the murder that there was
some friction between him and his wife.
Those who know Mrs. Snephcrd give her
the name Of being a most excellent wo-
man.

FREE BOOKS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
What the Public schools should Aim
to Teach.

w nAN int SnOuAu AIM
to Teach.
Editor Morning News: Free schools
should include free books is an idea that
is fast gaining ground with the people
Education on account of its benefits should
be as free as the air we breathe Many
parents who are in a position to supply
children with food and neat clothes find
it impossible often to buy the books nee
essary for term at school And if the
books are bought they are obtained by
parents in reduced circumstances at the
greatest sacrifices. Children who miss
several terms at school for want of books
seldom return to their studies. After
years have elapsed, when free books
and new tried IDEAS have been adopted
IN the public schools OF each state
then will the reforms of the day be quick
~ understood and carried out. An i'm
provement of the former Will show its
effect on the latter.
This fact has long been recognized in
many parts Of the north and east with
free books in the public schools.
Mr.. Gladstone acknowledges, notwith-
standing his long experience, that he has
not mastered the temperance question
Some lecturers on temperance say, and
believe with them, that the cause Of tenn
perance can only be furthered by teach
ing children, in the public schools the
evil effects of drink. The same can be said
OF cigarette smoking "a greater evil we
have not with Us) and 50 IL Is with many
other reforms. A short time since, I had
the pleasure of meeting Henry p. Emer-
son, A. NJ, superintendent of schools Of
Buffalo, n. Y. He is one of the ablest edur
Gators In the country. In his report for
the years 1893 and 1894, he says the great
aims of education are, information, mem
tai discipline and moral training. These
ends are realized, not by placing the whole
emphasis of school energy upon reading,
writing and arithmetic. but in con-
eentration Of all efforts iowa ds
arousing thought, creating intelligence
and building uD character" These are

FLORIDA's PRINTING.
One of the Bidders kicking over the
Awarding OF the Contract.

Awarding OF the Contract.
Tallahassee, Fla. Oct. IA. b. Vance
Of Jacksonville. who was a bidder on lie
state printing awarded Tuesday TO
Aiessrs. Drew Of Jacksonville and Collins
& Shine Of Tallahassee, filed a letter
with the board today, charging fraud
on the part of the committee in footing
up the figures OF the respective bids, and
asking that the whole matter be reopened
so that he can make a statement cor
rectng a misrepresentation under which
he claims the committee is labOring.
Gov Mitchell, the president Of the board,
was out OF town when the cOmmunica-
was laid over to await his return, with
Instructions to Gen. Lang, the secretary
or the board, to hold up the contracts
until the matter is settled. It is under
stood here that if the board refuses his
request, the courts viii be appealed to for
a mandamus to compel the board to re-
open the matter The committee select
ed by the board of state Institutions TO
foot up the bids consisted of Hon. David
Lang, eN-adjutant general, and now pri-
rotary of the board, and William McIn-
tosh, Jr., chief clerk of the auditing de-
partmens of the controllers Of
iice. Both of these gentle
service of the departments and the mere
intimation of fraud on their part will be
q surprise Wherever they are known. Mr..
Vance, in his letter, charges that in one
changed as to affect the result and de-
clares that with proper showing his
bid would be 40 per cent. lower than any
one else. a careful and thorough inVes-
tlgauon OF the, bids ON file in the gov
ernors Office by the writer failed to
show any such changes
