colored, were committed to Jail We'd
nesday, charged with attempting to
break into the residence of Mr.. j. 5.
Hagins, near Elgin, the night before.
Mr.. Hagins and Mr.. Ed Mobley went
out opossum hunting Tuesday night
but having poor luck returned home
early. AS they got within 200 yards
Of Mr.. Hagins' home on their return,
they heard Mrs. Hagins screaming
and ran as fast as they could to the
house, halloaing as they ran. This
frightened away two Negro men, who
had gone up on the piazza, and were
trying to force open the front door OF
the house. Mr.. Hagins' dogs, which
are half blood hound, were put on the
track of the would-be burglars and af-
ter running it for two miles and a
half, stopped at a house on Mr.. Bal
ley's place, occupied by VIII Mckay
and Lee Rollings, colored, and there
they remained until Messrs. Hagins
and Mobley, and others who joined
the chase, came up. The dogs could
not be induced to leave the house, so
the occupants were ordered up and to
give an account Of themselves. Their
statements did not seem to correspond
with their excited manner and the
drops of sweat about their foreheads.
The following morning Sheriff Hunter
was telephoned for and went down to
Elgin, returning that afternoon with
McRay and kollings. They are in jail
to await trial at the next term Of the
court.

WASTE OF PosTAGE.-The lawyers
were discussing the merits and demer-
its of a well-known member of the
New Orleans bar, who had been gath
cred to his fathers, and one of the par
ty, says the New Orleans Times-Dem-
acrat, recalled the time when he
studied in the old mans office.
, We had a copying clerk whose in
efficiency continually worked the
Judge up to the point Of explosion.
One day a wire basket fell off the top
Of his desk and scratched his cheek.
Not having any court plaster, he slap
ped on three postage stamps and went
on with his work.
A little later he had some papers to
take to the United States court, and,
forgetting all about the stamps, he
put on his hat and went out.
AS he entered the office the judge
raised his head and fixed him with an
astonished stare. The clerk stopped
and looked frightened and finally ask
ed:
Anything-er-wrong. sir?'
Yes, sir" thundered the old gentle
man. You are carrying too much
postage for second class matter"

FARMERS MUST LEARN.
The Governments Investigations In
to the Methods of American
Farming.

The government at Washington dur
ing the passing year has made spec
ial study of the methods Of the Amer
lean farmer and has discovered some
very useful facts. This study has
been made with the view Of discover
ing the weak points of farming as a
business and to suggest practical rem
dies for the defects. The report as
given to the public Is full of valua-
BILE information. 1t points out many
of the reasons why the average net
revenue from the farms is not larger
than it is at present.
One of the chief obstacles in the way
of the farmers better success is his
ultra a-conservatism. He trembles in
the face of change. Many are raising
the same crops. and in the same way
as their fathers did 25 years ago.
Each years work means the same old
staple crops without the least varia-
ton. BE the year Il prosperous one or
not, so far as the net results are con-
cerned, it will make no difference. The

tured on the pond and the youngest, while
in pursuit Of a ball. skated on TO a weak
spot and went through. His brother see

DastardIy Attempt at Assault
on a Girl in Johnston.

Still another crime has been added 10
che list perpetrated within the past few
months out Johnston way and the as
sailsnt has succeeded in eluding the po-
lice
Bertha May Eddy. Is years old, was on
the way with dinner TO her mother, an
employe of the Manton mill, and was
crossing the old gun club grounds north
of tho Merino fats when she was ac-
costed by an unkempt. disgusting hobo.
who chased and msltreated her. The mis-
creant tore her clothing and the child
seemed TO be al his mercy. But the brute
suddenly ceased his attempt at assault
and she was allowed TO proceed TO the
mill where she arrived distraught and in
"A highly excited frame OF mind.
As soon as Mrs Eddy learned what had
occurred she reported the case TO Police
Officer Bates OF Johnston. He did not
send out an alarm, but proceeded with a
citizen TO the scene OF the assault. The
Hcoundrel had departed.
IL was o'clock in the afternoon when
Town Sergeant Kimball OF Johnston was
notified. The police OF the Sixth station
in Olneyville were also informed of the
affair
Town Sergeant Kimball and Captain
cd child on Plainfield street. The patrol
wagon, with Policemen Whipple and
Luby. proceeded to the scene OF the as
sault. They were accompanied by Town
Sergeant Kimball and the Eddy girl in a
carriage.
Her footsteps through tho field could
be traced, and the footprints made when
she turned back and ran and those OF a
man could plainly be seen I'm the muddy
path. Just aside from the path was
place where grass and weeds were beaten
down and one could plainly see where the
struggle had occurred.
The spot was on the Johnston side OF
the boundary line between the city and
the town OF Johnston. the line passing
directly through the field i'm which the
assault occurred.
The neighborhood was searched until
darkness came without avail.
The police will investigate thoroughly
such suspicious as may be reported TO
them, but otherwise there seems to be
little use for further searching 10 capture
the scoundrel.
