TALKED TO CATTLE MEN.
Dickinsonians Make Speeches at tn,
Convention.

WOODWARD, Ok, Feb. 10.-The
cattlemen's convention here is q great
success, large number Of stock deal.
ers being present. Everybody is cat
tie mad. Never since the days from
1888 to 1885, have cattle been so high
and in such demand. Two,years ago,
spring yearlings sold for from $40 to
$lS head; coming '2.years-olds, $l4
to $lS; coming S.year.olds, 500 to $22.
This fall, coming yearlings are SELL
ing for from slS to $40 a head; COM
ing 2-year-olds, $25 to $2s; coming
S-year-olds, sS2 to $S5. This has put
almost every cattleman on these
ranges in prosperous condition. All
Of them have money. Conservative
cattlemen state that % per cent Of
Of this increased value is due to ex-
element and not to substantial con-
ditions. Some declare that top prices
have been reached. Others hold that
there is such scarcity Of cattle
through the west that present prices
will maintain for year ortwo longer,
and that under no circumstances will
there ever again be surplus Of cat
tie in the United States. 1t is a COM
mon thing to see men walking along
the streets Of Woodward who are APP
parently ordinary farmers, but
minutes conversation will bring out
the fact that this man has 800 head
Of cattle worth from 1926 to $50 each,
another has 600 head, and men with
more than a thousand head are not
uncommon.

Lolt.A0n0eQ LICK.
There are breakers ahead for the
school teachers Of the State. Loud
and bitter have been the complaints
which have gone up from time to time
regarding the difficult questions pro-
pounded, and the present state super
intendent has been roundly censured
for insisting on requirements foreign
to the needs Of the average district
school. But now there is more grief
in store for those who take the April
examination. Superintendent Stryker
yesterday sent out the following let
ter to each member Of the state board
OF education, which explains itself:
"Dear Sir: desire to call q meet
ing Of the state board Of education for
March 8, at the usual hour. Please
bring questions for the April examin.
alton with you. Many suggestions
have reached me from teachers and
superintendent whose judgment is
worthy Of consideration, that this
examination should be made the most
difficult Of the year. Many who have
no special preparation for teaching
take this examination for the express
purpose Of avoiding the institute and
the two days examination at lis
close"

Shocking Fatality to Aged OK
ford Woman,
Was Walking on New England Tracks
When Engine and I6 Freight Cars
Passed over Her.

Oxford, Feb. 25.-NIrs. Louisa S. Dar-
ling, 70 years old, who has been resi-
dent in this town for over so years,
met death today at Las o'clock, while
walking on the track of the Norwich
and Worcester Railroad. She had just
left her home, which is situated near
the track, to come down town, and took
to the railroad, which she often did,
when train 20, known as the local
freight, Harry S. Needham conductor,
drawn by Engine %, Fred Webb engi-
neer, struck her a quarter of a mile
north of the Oxford station. The engl-
neer footed his whistle several times,
expecting that she would step one side,
but she did not The engine carried her
a short distance, when she fell on the
left rail, and the engine and l6 freight
cars passed over her. causing instant
death. She was cut right through the
abdomen leaving her body in two parts.
Her arms were also broken, her breast
crushed in, and her body terribly
bruised. The remains were Immediate
ly removed to F.. A Wheelock's under
taking rooms, on Barton street, where
they were viewed by Medical Examiner
Carey c. Bradford of Southbridge, this
afternoon, at o'clock, who pronounced
death accidental"
She was a woman who at times is alb
sent-minded, and it is expected she was
thinking of something seriously at the
time of the accident. She leaves one
brother of New York, and two sons, Eu-
gene Darling, an engineer on the ProVi-
dence and Worcester Railroad, and Je-
rome Darling, a printer, who resides at
Cambridge. They were at once noti-
fled, and are expected to arrive tomor-
row. Mrs. Darling was woman of
some means, having half interest in two
houses, one in which she lived and the
one adjoining her home. She was a
member Of the Methodist Church of this
town, and a regular attendant. john
E. Kimball, chairman of the board Of
selectmen, has taken charge of the re-
mains, also her personal property, un-
til her sons arrive. 1t was one of the
saddest accidents that have occurred in
this town for long time.
The accident was close to the interme-
diate school, which was dismissed after
the body was removed.
Mrs. Darling was a lady who had a
large circle of friends in this town who
will mourn her loss.
