BLOODY ELECTION RIOT.
Four Men Killed and Two Wounded
at Frankfort. Ky.

at Frankfort, Ky.
Frankfort, KY, Nov. 3.-One of the
bloodiest election riots that ever took
place in Kentucky occurred on the
streets of Kentucky's capital Tuesday
morning between twelve and two
o'clock. The dead are Frank Egbert,
Thomas Deakins, Howard Glore and
Charles Graham. The wounded are
John Smith and Walter Gaines, both
shot in the leg. Six men were arrested.
The silver democrats, it is alleged,
had undertaken to ~colonize rs or 80
negroes in the county. and Frank Egg
bert, a member of the fire department.
and some friends attempted to thwart
their scheme. The negroes were in a
wagon with Ben Marshall and other
white men. Egbert fired into the party,
hitting Smith, one of the negroes, and
slightly wounding him.
Marshall, who was a brother-in-law
of Egbert, dropped into the bottom of
the wagon and saved himself from the
several shots aimed at him. Driving
rapidly down the hill and into the city,
Marshall and Smith and their
friends armed themselves. They start
ed out to hunt Egbert. At the corne
of Main and st. Clair streets Egbert
and Walter Gaines were seen coming
down the street waving their pistols.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas Deakins then
appeared on the scene and attempted to
arrest Egbert. Egbert resisted and
fired at Deakins. Deakins returned his
fire, and Egbert fell with four bullets
in his breast. Deakins received two OF
Egbert's bullets and n from the pistol
Of Howard Glore. By this time 20 men
were on the scene, and the fusillade be-
came general. A steady fire was kept
up from behind trees and houses for 20
minutes. Charles Graham, one of the
negroes, and Glore, who was q con-
stable, both met death. Walter Gaines
was seriously wounded. Egbert had
made a record for fighting. In 1892 he
killed a negro, and in 1893 he murdered
Jerry Lee.

was wrecked near old Shedwell, five
miles east of this place, at 1925 Wednes-
day afternoon. Four persons were
killed and II injured. The cause Of
the accident has not been definitely as
certained, but it is believed to have been
due to the breaking of an axle on the
locomotive. The engine left the track
on a sharp curve and was hurled against
a rocky hill.

Beets Analized.

Returns from the state experimental
farm of analysis of 10 sugar beet SAM
pies from Blue Earth county, show a
range of sugar from ia to AL per

to "a per cents. Farmers raising these
samples failed to comply with instruc-

stead of six Or eight, which accounts
for the comparatively small per cent
of sugar, though enough in every Ease

Plenty of Sisal.

A large purchase of sisal for the
prison binder Irvine factory has been
made by Warden Wolfer, who esti-
mates that the new lot will give
enough raw material to operate the
factory until next spring. The sisal
market has been high for some time.
but Warden Wolfer purchased 200
bales at a greatly reduced figure from
the prices quoted a week or two ago..
Warden Wolfer figures that the state
will have close on to five million pounds
of binder Irvine on hand for next sea-
sons demand.

MINNESOTA A NEWS
A MyStery.

The shooting at Turtle Lake, Boil
trami county, is shrouded in mystery
and Indian reticence. Couriers found
that a game warden and a squaw had
been killed. Two Indians who were
wounded took to their canoes and trav-
eled as far south as Little Cass lake,
where they were met by other Indians.
Their statement is that the game war
den attempted to seize some muskrat
skins. He was asked to leave them
alone, but refused. when trouble arose.
The Indians story as to the white man
being the aggressor does not bear in
vestigation. The Indians are both
wounded in the abdomen, and the bull
lets passed upwards, showing that the
shots were fred while the warden was
down.

Loaned to a Friend 1t Is Found I'm a
Book Shop FOrty-Five Years After.
A London book hunter of the last gen
Grafton gave to his son as the NEST egg"
of his future library a translation of
tus," minus the title page, but attrib-
uted to Coleman. On giving this book
to his son the father wrote his name on
the fly leaf. A few years afterward the
son, accompanied by his beloved books,
went to Jamaica, where the translation
in question was borrowed of him by a
military officer, who, being unexpected
ly transferred with his regiment to an
other colony, quilted Jamaica very sud
denly and inadvertently took with him
the borrowed translation, a circum-
stance which caused great annoyance
and regret to it's owner, who priced it
very highly as being the gift of his ia
tber and containing that parents hand
writing. He made various attempts to
learn the whereabouts of the officer who
bad SO carelessly carried off the treas
ured volume, but could never obtain
any tidings of him, and at length relin-
pushed the effort and gave up the book
for lost
Five and twenty years afterward the
book hunter, having returned to Lon
don, was one day strolling along the
Old Kent road and, peering about him
as usual, when he came to the shop of a
dealer in old iron, near the then ex-
istent turnpike gate which formerly
stood nearly opposite the burial ground.
AS he glanced into the dingy depths of
this shop he suddenly espied his lost
translation slowed away upon a shelf.
Hastily entering the shop he bought
back his missing treasure for the sum
of sixpence, which the man of iron
seemed to think himself very lucky in
getting in exchange for it. The pres
ence of his fathers handwriting on the
fly leaf was still as legible as ever, and
rendered it certain that the volume, so
strangely recovered, was the identical
one the loss of which he had so long de-
rlored.-Chambers' Journal.

the American youngster puts it, does
so. In no country of the civilized world

footing as there"
How has the experiment worked?'
eagerly asked the stout woman.
TT has been proved an unqualified
success" the traveller answered. II, for
one, do not agree with the man who
said there were three kinds of lies in
this world-just plain lies, blankety-
blank-blank lies, and statistics. I've
found statistics pretty good things to
rely on, and at any rate those regard
ing woman's status in Finland are in
teresting. For over a quarter of a CEN
trry the gymnasiums have admitted
both sexes to all departments, and that
has given the women a good chance to
get even with the men physically. In

Assassination OF the Pres.
ident-Martial Law Declared.
Rio Janeiro, Nov. Can attempt was
made on Friday to assassinate the pres
ident of Brazil, DR.. Prudente Jose de
Moraes. The presidents brother, an
army officer, was probably mortally
wounded while shielding the chief ex-
ecutive from a soldiers dagger. Gen.
Machado Bethencourt, minister of
war, who was of the presidents party,
was shot and killed. The attempt to kill
the president and the killing of the
minister of war, it is believed, were the
acts of ~monarchical sympathizers. An
other theory is that they were the re-
suits of the intense feeling aroused by
the proposed arbitration treaty with
France.
Rio Janeiro is now under martial law,
every soldier having been ordered to
arms, and it is feared that another rev.
olution is at hand.
Thousands of persons gathered Fri
day in front of the government pal
ace to see President Moraes and his
cabinet extend publicly the thanks of
the republic to Gen. Barboza and his
troops. Many members of congress
and persons high in military, navy and
ecclesiastical circles were present, as
were also the diplomatic representa-
tives of several foreign countries.

The Stats of New Jersey has had
some experience with farm values, be
cause it invested some Of its Sinking
Funds in farm mortgages. The loans
averaged $4,000 to each farm and the
State has had TO become proprietor Of
considerable desirable real estate.
These farms the State rents on shares
half the crop. The State expended on
these farms last year, S1,3l7s57, and
received S1,613.24, an averaged profit
of $40. A farmer writing to the Dover
Iade1 on the above facts, concludes
that ''the object lesson in which the
State gives to owners of farm property
is that our taxes OIL a farm valued at
$4,000 should not exceed $50. This
would give the farmers half the crop
and pay taxes with no margin for emer-
gencies. i would suggest that the
State should own all the farms and
lease them out to the farmers for the
crop and exempt from all taxes"
