October.

Now we're welcoming october.
Though IN sober COlOrs gOWneus
For she brings us newer pleasures
And enough TO go around
Now W. get tie cooling breezes
That give life a freshened zest
And the time that's spent In slumber
Yields more satisfying rest
Now the frost gets on the chestnuts.
And the burrs their contents spill
To repay the weary seeker
Who has trudged Ger vale ana DILL
And the leaves are being painted
BY the fine artistic hand
OF J. Frost. who at this season
Goes cavorting Ger the land.
Now the hunters get excited,
For the DAY IS drawing nigh
When with logs and guns and gamebags
To the county, they viii HE.
Many plans they're now arranging
To bring back a lot OF game,
and each one OF them is certain
He'll catch up with Nimrods fame.
Now the sa1sr kraut and the wiener
Get the flavor long desired;
And the oyster, howe'er eaten,
Is more ardeutly admired
There's a laundering for slapJacks
And The other tOOthsome things
That were missing IL the summer.
But which hind october brings.
Now the dance and play and concert

And the autumn girl Is proving
That she's certainly all right.
There are many other pleasures,
An0 enough TO go around.
And that's why we hail October.
Though In sober garb she's gowned.

season of wedding Presents.

The days Of weddings and wedding gifts
are here. One is reminded Of this on every
turn. u going through the shops. one
feels there are presents In abundance for
all conditions Of the purse. But the task
of present buying is a bewildering one at
any time. and the buying of a wedding gift
seems hardest of all. A wedding gift must
be one that can be kept a lifetime, tradi-
ton would have us believe, and SO one
turns to the linen and silver counters or
to the more p~erishable cut glass or statu-
airy. The windows are enticing with these
and many other alluring things just now.
Cut glass In all shapes and for all uses
can be found in many of the shops. The
furniture stores. too, seem determined TO
entrap the passer-by on the errand OF we'd
ding-gift hunting, and IL would seem i'm
possible 20 go amiss in this selection, no
matter what the taste of the bride for
whom the present is intended.

ENT0MBED IN BURNING MINE.
Thirty Five Miners Perish in the Diamondville
Mine Mol.
(By The Associated Press. }

Cheyenne, Wyo. Feb. 26.-The worst
Wyoming since the Amy horror, eight
years ago, occurred at Diamondville last
night Thirty-five men are believed TO
have persisted in fire which started in
mine No. / of the Diamondville Coal and
Coke Company.
The braZe was first discovered shortly
after the night Shift commenced work.
1t is thought to have originated from a
careless miners lamp in the oil room.
The flames made such progress that only
one man escaped from the two entries
in which it was confined. His name is
John Anderson. and he was frghtfully
burned in running the gauntlet of the
flames. He was suddenly confronted by
wall of fire and smoke and wrapping
his head in an overcoat he ran in the
direction OF the main entrance.
The scenes at the mouth of the mine
during the night and today were heart
rending. Relatives and friends of the
entombed miners rushed to the mine.
frantically waving their hands and cry
ing to the mine officials and miners to
save their dear ones. Many OF the wo-
men and children were slightly injured
in the crowd and by falling over OBJ
stacles in the darkness The mine is
owned by the Oregon Short Line Railroad
It's output is about $4,000 tons OF coal
per year and upwards of 700 miners are
em9lared.

LYNCaING IN HooslERDoM.
A Negro Murder at Terre Honte Was Hanged
and Them Cremated by Mob.
(By the Associated Press.)

Terre Haute. Ind, FEB. 26.-Punish-
ment, swift and terrible, was melted out
today to George Ward, the negro, who
murdered Miss Ida Finkelstein, the school
teacher, by shooting her with a shotgun
and cutting her throat yesterday after
noon. a few hours after his arrest an
angry mob battered down the doors of the
jail dragged the prisoner TO the Wabash
bridge, several squares away, and hanged
him to the bridge draw. Not content
with the hanging, the crowd cut the
corpse down and laying it on u sandbar
under the bridge, kindled a fire and Gre
mated the remains. 1t was Terre Haute's
first lynching.
Ward was p years old and leaves a
widow and two children. lie came here
five years ago from Circleyille, Ohio. The
statement that he was at one time in an
insane asylum is denied by his wife. He
served jail sentence in 1880 for larceny.
The leaders of the mob are unknown
and as public sentiment upholds the
iynching, no prosecutions are expected.

SCHOOL SUPERVISORS NEEDS OF EDUCATION
10 Look After the Interests of
Public Schools.
Prof. J. Y. loyner Addresses Educational Com
fnltiee. Urges New Officials For
School Improvement.

At the meeting of the joint commit
tee on education. held in the Senate
chamber last night, Prof. j. Y. Joyner.
chairman of the committee. appointed
by the Teachers Assembly TO ask for
certain changes in the public school law
and for new legislation, addressed the
committee at length, devoting his re-
marks especially to the need and advan-
tages of State supervision of public
school by organizing and correlating the
work of the ninety-seven counties thus
making the public school work of the
State uniform and cooperative. The
other recommendations of the commit
tee from the Teachers Assembly have
already appeared in full, in this paper.
Prof. Joyner urged that five, four,
three or even two State Supervisors be
appointed to plan and have put in exc
cution the work for county superintend-
ents and teachers. laying out a contin-
uous and progressive course of study
for both, these supervisors to instruct,
direct and stimulate through the means
of Institutes and other methods. Then,
the speaker said the standard of teach
erS, and hence of the pupils, would be
raised by a uniform system of exami-
nations and grading for unless superin-
tendents and teachers are improved and
bettered. the schools would not go for
ward.
Another business of the supervisor
would be to educate public sentiment
and to agitate the matter of an improv-
ed education, planning the campaign,
and advertising the needs of the schools.
This would stimulate local taxation and
in time take the burden of great appro-
priations off the State. Another point
made by Mr.. Joyner was that these SUI
peTvisors would look after the statutes
interests i'm schools more closely than
local officials, who were hampered by
their environments, and in this way
money that now never reaches the school
fund would swell it to n point far be-
yond the amount necessary to secure
the services of two or three competent
supervisors, who would still further inn
prove the schools by gathering neces-
sary information for future legislation
In the discussion which ensued at the
close of Prof. Joyner's eloquent appeal
for consideration of men, and not
money. by the committee, it was stated
that three supervisors would cost 81 500
a year, besides their travelling expenses.
1t was also stated that the plan of
State supervision had received the en-
d0rsement of former state Saperintend-
ents Finger. Scarborough Mehane. of
the present superintendent, Gen. Toon.
of the Teachers Assembly andsof Gov
ernor Aycock.
After requesting Prof Joyner to pre-
pare a. bill embodying the plan of State
supervision the committee adjourned.
