ANARCHISTS
In Chicago Knew Some
thing Would Happen
THREE DAYS BEFORE
Mckinley Was Shot By The
Man Czo|gosz


archists, ia respo use to a call issued
three days before, held a meeting
Friday night In saloon on West Chi
cego avenue. and discussed the at
tempted assassination OF President
Mckinley. Men and women known
to be associated with the Anarchist
movement in the city we're n the bar
room. The attendance showed that
it was 70 impromptu gathering More
than 200 persons were gathered in the
hall.
Three days previous the members
OF several societies we're notified that
celebration would take place that
| night. The reason for the issuance
OF the call for the meeting cold not
be learned from tho Sc present. They
made no secret of the fact that they
anticipated something OF which they
might talk however.
Not a word Of sympathy for the
man who was near bis death was
heard at the meeting. Instead there
were speeches IN which the name OF
Mckinley was mentioned only to
bring forth cries of condemnation.
All the speeches were IN German, al.
though at times some members of the
audience would give vent to their
feelings in English.
1t was not until early morning the
meeting broke up.
Oscar Neebe, one OF the anarchists
convicted of completely in the Hay
market riot says that there was no
plot OF the Anarchists to murder Pres.
ident Mckinley. He declared that
-assailaRA-was eilhaE-a csdnk- k-vFs an In
sane man.
"No good could result from killing
President McKinley,' Neebe declar-
ed, "because he is good man, and,
as far as a man in his position can be,
ne is for the masses of the people"
Mrs. Lucy Parsons, whose husband
Was executed for his part In the Hay
market riot said, as old Neebe. that
there was no plot OF the Anarchists to
harm the PreSdenc, Ii there was,
she had no knowledge OF it. "No
man, she declared, ''who has the
true principles OF anarchy in his heart
would attempt to inlure President Nc
kiuley He is a e od president, who
listens to the voice OF the people and
LrieS to do his best for Ihem.'
Mrs. Parsons expressed strong
hope that The President would recov-
er.
A city laborer found two large dy-
Mantle bombs Saturday buried close
to where the Hay market monument
stood facing Randolph street. Word
of the discovery spread quickly and a
rowd soon gathered around the exca
vation and gazed curiously at the ex-
plosives. They we're taken to lnspec
tor Shea s office in the Desplaines st.
station. The inspector ordered them
destroyed.
A superficial examination Of the
bombs convinced Inspector Shea that
they were loaded with dynamite and
capable OF causing serious damage if
they we're exploded.
New York, Sept. O. AS a whole
the Anarchist group of Patterson, N.
j., expressed no regret at the shoot
ing of President Mckinley. On the
contrary there was great gathering
of the members at Bartholdi hall, in
that city and Czolgosz, who Shot the

Concerning Crows.

We note a marked and steady in
crease in the number of crows all
through the settled portions of the
west. his black pest seems to be
immune to all the agencies. natural
and artificial, which limit the multi
plification of other species of birds.
The crow is an exceedingly sagacious
bird, readily adapting himself to the
dangers which beset him, and is more
than worldly wise in his ability to cir
cumvent the ingenuity of man who
would limit his numbers. The crow
is long-lived bird, and there are
plenty of old and wise crows to edu-
cate the younger ones in the ways
of the world While not Matching
large broods of young, the usual
number rarely exceeding four, they
take such good care of their black
carcasses and live so long that they
may now be found in focks of hun
dreds and thousands, and when such
focks make up their mind to feed in a
cornfield, they will leave it in almost
as bad shape as though a cyclone
had passed over it. They are the
sworn enemies of all other forms of
bird life, eating the eggs and young
birds, and doing more to wipe out our
desirable birds than any other
agency. To see a crow should be to
shoot him, if possible.

Women al Reformos.

We have not been more interested
in anything for long time than in
a report made by the Woman's Civic
League of st. Paul, Mimi, detailing
what this society had been enabled
TO accomplish in that city in the mat
ter of securing better care of the
streets and residence lots, the plant
ing of trees, improvement of parks,
and vacant lots, and in fostering the
interests of the common schools.
Unsightly bill boards, street litter,
dirty back yards, weeds on vacant
lots, unsanitary conditions general
ly, impure milk supply, adulterated
foods, have each and all had these
public-spirited women after them,
and coupled with the war thus sue
cessfuEy waged, they have tried to
inspire a patriotic and aesthetic SEN
timent among the people which is re-
fected in growing refinement and
civilized sentiment touching munich
pal living Such work as this is emf
nently women's work, and the ex-
ample so well and creditably set by
these ST. Paul ladies should be gener-
ally emulated.

Farm Institutes,

This is the farm institute season
and it is pleasure to note the year
ly increasing interest which is being
taken in them. The writer, having
to spend very much of his time during
the season with these farm institutes,
notes a few things here which may
possibly be of benefit to the officials
which have the charge of conduct
ing such meetings. AS one of the
most essential elements for a sue
cessful institute get the ladies inter-
ested. Do this by giving them topics
on the program bearing on subjects
which will interest the farmers
wives ana daughters. Work them for
musical numbers and for recitations.
The very best papers which we have
ever heard given at institutes have
been from some of the many bright
women to be found in our pleasant
farm homes, many of these old school
teachers well read, and well educated.
Then, do not overload the program
with too many different topics. The
discussions which usually follow the
reading of a live paper are almost
always the best part, and when these
discussions have to be shut off to
take up some other topic it always
puts damper on the meeting. Avoid,
if possible, putting old cranks with
hobbies on the program. They are
very tiresome. One can have all char
ity for tie physical infirmities of age
and still righteously have no patience
with public exhibition of imbecility
by the same man. Hold the institute
in the smaller towns, where such a
gathering will be appreciated. The
big towns care little or nothing about
them, and the people will not at
tend. Limit, if possible, all papers to
ten minutes, and all speeches to five
minutes. No paper which takes half
an hour to read is worth listening to.
Life is too short to so fool time away.
Biographical sketches and profuse
apologies for attempting to read a
paper are all out of place. Get down
to business from the start, stick to it
while you are at it, and quit when
you get through. The evening session
may very profitably be given a liter
airy or educational turn in such a
manner that it will interest the boys
and girls. If there are young people
way out on the farms who have fair
or good musical ability, see that such
have place on the, program, for
such an opportunity means more to
them than one would at first think,
and if so invited their friends are all
sure to attend. The farm home, the
boys and girls, the social side of farm
life should occupy large place on
every institute program, for it is not
of SO much Importance to know how
to make more money on the farm,
as it is to make life pleasanter and
happier thereon. Don't make the
hog, the COW and the steer the whole
thing. A question box, wherein
questions on any topics pertaining
to the farm may be placed, to be an.
swered by the conductor, is a very
interesting feature of the institute.
and often of very great practical
benefit. Advertise the institute well
and thoroughly and do not fail 20 ash
the people of the town to con,,ibu;s
towards the expenses of the ,nsa
tute, as when they do this they will
become interested in the meeting and
attend its sessions.
