TO BE BLACK LETTER DAY.
West Virginia Town to Have
Wholesale Hanging.

1t now looks as if Fayetteville, the
county seat of Fayette County, West Vir-
ginia, in which is located the town of
Montgomery, lately made famous by its
gang of forty thieves and murderers, will
have a black letter on June %. Three
hangings are already provided, and the
outlook is good for as many more at least.
In the circuit court at Fayetteville the trial
of Clark Lewis, Albert Valers and Wilbur
Slaughters, charged with the murder of
Charles Gibson at Montgomery, was con-
cluded and a verdict of guilty returned.
The jury recommended the death penalty
for Lewis and Valers, and life imprison-
ment for Slaughters. Judge Brazie, of the
criminal court, sentenced the guilty ones
at once, making the day of their execution
June rs, the same day on which Jerry
Brown, a rape fiend, is to be hanged. Mon
day the trial of John Hudson and Virginia
Gibson, the latter the widow of the muir
dered man began. They are charged with
assisting in the killing of Gibson, and have
against them the same evidence that con-
victed the trio already sentenced. There
are twenty eight members of the Mont
gomery gang, and four more murders are
charged against its members.

an increase in labor disturbances to resist
midsummer wage reductions. The btu

is less life in the wholesale dry goods trade,

Milwaukee tracks and rapidly covered an

rose a foot during the night and was higher

The Burlington road, which has been
kept open with a mighty effort, had to give

NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS
Spring Wheat About All Sown-
Flowing for Corn Begun.

The Nebraska weather and crop bureau,
in its last weekly bulletin, says: The tenn
perature has averaged about 3 degrees be-
low the normal in the eastern sections and
l degree below the normal in the western
sections. Light frost occurred on several
days, but no damage was done to crops or
fruit. The rainfall has everywhere been
below the normal. Spring wheat is
about all sown, and generally the
acreage is reported as larger than
usual. The early sOwn pieces are up
and looking nice. Dat seeding, is about
completed in the southeastern counties and
generally well advanced. The acreage
Will probably be less hal last year. Rye
Is generally in excellent condition. Winter
wheat has improved, but many fields in
the southeastern portion Of the state will
be plowed up. The winter wheat in the
south central portion of the state is in a
better condition. Tame grasses are start
ing well, and in many sections cattle get
most OF their livingi in the pastures. PlOw-
ing for corn is just commencing.

there now is only a quarter of an average

Indiana promises only a triie over half

missouri also looks bad. 1t promises
less than two-thirds of an average. About
a third of the acreage is being plowed up.

10 per cent. Of the acreage was winter

Michigan looks now like nearly an
average crop, but needs growing weather.

it is early to tell definitely.

this month. About a fifth of the acreage
was winter-killed."

CANADA SCHOOL PROBLEM.
PapaI Legate Said to Have Rem.
dered an Adverse Decision.

A sensation has been created in political
circles at Montreal owing to the reported
adverse decision of Mgr. Merry del Val,
the papal delegate to Canada. 1t is stated
Oh good authority that j. Israel Tarle,
minister of public works, is strongly in
favor of an immediate dissolution of par
lament and an appeal to the people to en-
dorse the agreement entered into with the
Manitoba authorities. The minister argues
that with a hostile decision by the pope's
representative it is only natural to suppose
that Quebec province would not support
the government so strongly as is the case
today. On the other hand, Mr.. Tarle be-
iieves the French Canadian premier would
obtain an overwhelming majority from the
English speaking provinces, and thus give
the school question its Quietus.
