REFUSES TO GO TO LINCOLN.
Albert Bettles Says Only RcQuisl-
tiOn Can Take Him There.

Albert BEETLES Says Only n Rcquisi-
ton Can Take Him There.
Albert BEETLES, the escaped prisoner from
the Lancaster county Jail at Lincoln, Neb.
arrested here Tuesday night, refused to
return to Nebraska yesterday when Sheriff
Branson came to fetch him. although he
had stated his willingness to do so when
taken into custody Tuesday night. He
told Sheriff Branson he would not return
without requisition papers and the sheriff
al once telegraphed to Lincoln for them.
BEETLES, 1t developes, is the man who
figured in a sensational episode in Lincoln
several months ago with a young woman
from Pleasant Hill, Neb., for which he was
sentenced to six months Imprisonment in
the Lancaster county jail. He escaped
from there January 23, when he had but
twenty days more to serve.
A few days after his escape he became
associated with c. j. Graham and Miss
Gussie Schulz. who are now in the city
Jail here awaiting a hearing on charges
preferred against them by Mrs, Graham
With them he Travelled over the country
selling soap, the three working a scheme
to sell their goods by pretending to be deaf
mutes.
After the arrest of Graham and the young
woman and their being brought to Council
Bluffs, BEETLES appeared upon the scene and
visited them daily at the Jail. Since his
escape from Jail BEETLES has twice been
in Lincoln and last Sunday went to Pleasant
Hill.
BEETLES is an Englishman and is alleged
to have gone under number of aliases
among the number being that of r. r. Shoy-
ter.
There is bad blood between BEETLES and
Graham and The police found 1t necessary
to place BEETLES in separate cell. 1t seems
that after Graham went to his home in
Ligonier, Ind, to secure money with which
to go to Mexico with Miss Schulz in order
to escape from his wife, BEETLES learned
of his intention to rejoin the young woman
at Des Moines and tipped the fact off to
the officers, who placed Graham under ar
rest as soon as he reached there.

CLOSE EARLIER. START SOONER.
County Superintendent seeks to Re-
form nurnI SChOOlS.

County superintendent seeks TO Re-
form Rural schools.
County Superintendent McManus seeks to
have the terms of school in the rural dis
tricts rearranged and has addressed this
circular letter to the boards of directors
throughout Pottawattame county:
September is much better month than
June for efficient work in the public
schools. II school could begin the first
Monday in September and continue four
months for the fall term, at the close of
which have a two weeks holiday vacation,
have a winter term Of three months at
the conclusion provide for one weeks va
eaton, and have spring term of two
months, It would be possible to have nine
months school and close early in June
year seems to commend itself to all where
it has been tried. All schools where there
are three months in the spring term should
begin not later than March "a. This will
make such schools close June IA. The
Normal institute for all teachers of this
county will begin June Il. Section 27I3
provides that no school may be in session
during teachers institute. except by
written permission of the county superin-
tendent."
In the same circular the county super
intendent calls attention to the fact that
the efficiency of the rural schools is I'M
paired by the frequent change Of teachers.
He says:
"One OF the great difficulties in trying
to improve the efficiency OF our rural
schools is the frequent change of teachers
"Endeavor, If possible, where there has
been thorough and efficient work, to retain
the same teacher for the spring term. 1t
is gratifying to notice what demand there
is for good, first grade teachers. When
contracting with teachers 1t is your duty
to examine the teachers certificate. a
few minutes time spent in this particular
will frequently prevent rumors whereby
teachers influence Is generally lessened."
The boards are asked to take these mat
ters up and give them their earnest con-
sideration at their next meeting and tho
county superintendent. in conclusion be
speaks the hearty cooperation of the d.
rectors in all matters tending to increase
the efficiency of the rural schools.

POOL OF COTTON BUYERS. Prices at Huntsville Kept Below
 Those of Other Markets.

Huntsville, Nov. S.-(Speclal) )-The fact has developed during the past few days that the Huntsville cotton buyers have had a pool among themselves for several weeks past to keep down the price in the local market q few points lower than in other Southern markets. The planters have got wind of this and though the existence of a pool was vigorously denied, Huntsville prices have continued to be lower than the market elsewhere.
 This condition has been severe blow to trade in this city. Merchants are com plaining that they have had very dull fall. and that 1t Is all caused by the cot ton buyers Hundreds of bales of cotton that should have come to Huntsville have been sent to other markets and the mon- cy realized by the sale spent in those markets The Chamber of Commerce has been urged to investigate this affair and break up the pool if possible.
 Reports from over Madison and adjoin- ing counties show that three fourths of the cotton in this section has been picked. The receipts have been light for several days past, most of the cotton having been sold.

 lightweight of the two hundred and thirteen churches sent up written narra- tives to the Synod, as reported through the committee on narratives, while verbal reports were heard from thirteen others. The tenor of all the reports was very en- couraging. A marked increase of liberali- ty was noted. The attendance upon the church services was good so far as the morning services were concerned, but the attendance upon the evening services was not so good. Great progress was being made in the Sunday schools. Family worship was apparently being neglected in many churches and 1t was decided to read this report to the congregations.
