Training Young Farmers.

We have kept statistics of our grad
yates for the past ten years" said Prof.
Hunt. head OF the State Agricultural Col
lege Of Ohio at the Colonial. and the fig
ures show that 50 per cent of them have
embarked in the business of farming or
are directly interested in agricultural op-
eTations. This is 4 conclusive showing
against the criticisms that used to be
heard that the training of schools such
as ours resulted in driving young men
away from the culture of the soil as an
occupation. 1t is a higher percentage
than either the law schools or theological
colleges can show. If we turn out more
practical farmers comparatively than the
others do lawyers or ministers. il shows

Special in Evansville Courier.
RocKPoRT, Ind, Jan. 23.-The
grand jury has not yet made a re-
port. Tuesday its members were
dismissed until Saturday, when
they will meet again and make
their return to Judge Swan.
1t is generally felt that there will
be no indictments returned against
any one for participation in the
lynching Dec. ID. In fact it il
whispered around that the grand
jury will make no report at all on
the matter, but will ignore it alto
gether. There is no provision Of
the law requiring them to say as
the Warrick county grand jury did,
that the lynchipg was done BY per
sons unknown and it would surprise
no one here if the grand jury's re-
port when made to Judge Swan con-
tanned no reference at all TO the
lynching.
Returns of other indictments will
be made Saturday, however, and it
is understood there viii, be a large
number, probably between 100 and
40 indictments returned in connec-
ton with illegal voting and bribery
at the polls. 1t is known a great
many witnesses have been examined
by the grand jury in this matter,
and the politicians of both parties
have been called upon to tell what
they know Of votes having been
bought. While it is felt the greater
number Of these indie .ments will be
against negroes, some white men
have been indicted as well, if reports
OF the grand iury's action are to be
relied upon.
