THE MOBILE SCHOOLS
MIR. EYRE DAMER TALKS OF
 SYSTEM THERE.
Says the Constitutional Convention Should Not Interfere--Booker Washington Must Not Be AL.
 lowed to Excel the Whites.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, June 12.
 MT. Eyre Danier, a prominent news paper man of Mobile, is in the city on a visit to the family of Mrs. Cunning ham. A representative of The Adver- tiser called on him yesterday and had a very pleasant interview with him. ports of the proceedings of the Consti- tutional Convention that fight against the public schools of Mobile county had been started. He said that he had not. but as that is likely to be live issue before the Convention, what he has to say on the subject may be of a good deal of interest to the public at this time. Among other things Mir. Damer said:
 T have not seen the paper, and the intimation that fight is to be made is a surprise to me. In an indirect way Mobile County is influential drought out Alabama. and leading men who sought to direct Mobiles influence in q channel favorable to the holding of a Constitutional Convention gave assrr- anec that the educational system of the County would not be inte-fered with. If the Convention proves un- friendly to that system the people of Mobile County will have reason to feel greatly aggrieved. But no man who is unwilling to be classed with the ig norant and prejudicial can join in the movement to injure the Mobile school system.
 When the Convention first assem- bled the newspapers said that it com prised the strongest intellect in Ala bama. It seems to me that such a body of men would regard education as the highest interest which they were commissioned to consider. If the Con- vention wishes to advance the cause of common education it should preserve as a model the first system yet developed in Alabama, and that Is the system of schools in Mobile. If the members of the Convention are strong minded men and desire to promote education. they will not decide to lower the great schools of Mobile to the level of the old field schools of Baldwin and Wash ington Counties, but will adopt the Mo- bile system as the model and will en= deavor to gradually elevate the system to the level of the Mobile schools. But in the meantime the schools of Mobile offer facilities to ambitious boys and girls throughout the State. Few may take advantage of them, hut the main point is that it is possible to all.
 Negroes are receiving help from phi,anthropists in the Northern States. Booker Washington is preparing ne- groes to fill positions heretofore held by white men and women. Alabama sus- tains no school offering equal advare

THE BoGas CASE AGAIN.
General Molineaux Asks for Tran
 script of the Testimony.

Guthrie, O. T., June 12.-The Boggs case, which has been a famous one in Oklahoma. bids fair to become one of national interest in view of recent developments which promised to con meet it with several New York murder cases.
 Three years ago a number of regis tered packages containing money were stolen from the postoffice at Shawnee, o. T.. but were found several days later in the letter box with the ad- monition writteR on one for the post master not to be so careless next time. The packages had been opened but no money was taken. George Boggs was arrested charged with tampering with the mail, and upon the testimony of Henry Tolman, handwriting expert of Chicago, was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary. the expert swear ing that the handwriting upon the packages was Boggs's.
 Boggs appealed the case to the Su- preme Court and lost, and he was pre- pairing to go to the penitentiary when Thomas Ioveday, a clerk in the Te- cumseh postOftice, confessed to having stolen the packages, and. becoming frightened took them to Shawnee, put them in the mail box, after writing the warning on the package. Boggs was granted a new trial and completely ex- onerated.
 General Molineaux of New York, learned of the mistake of the hand writing expert, and as he Is said to be the asme expert who testified in the case of his son. Roland MolineauX, now under sentence of death, Molineaux has sent for the transcript of the testi- mony and copy of the court records to use in an attempt to get his sons case re-opened. Attorneys for Dr. Kennedy, also under sentence of death, have also asked for q copy of the re- cords as a handwriting experts testi- mony figured largely in that case.

Shall it be destroyed merely because 1t is best' Shall jealousy or common sense pre- vail in the Convention?"

that gentleman, ''you people out here
don't know what you are talking about.
How would yoa like to be in section
where there has been no rain since last
May. That is the situation in part OF
Wisconsin. The entire state is drouth
stricken, but around Madison there has
not been drop of rain since last May,
along about the 18th, | think. Vegeta-
| tion has withered up through that sec
| tion and blown away. Take it along
the Milwaukee right OF way from Madi-
son west and.there is a. great danger
rom fires starting from sparks from
the engines. The danger is SO great
that force of men is kept posted
along the ROAD to watch for fires.
| Coming west observe great
change in the looks OF vegetation.
Everything around here looks bright
and thrifty compared with what it is
back further east. The people OF South
Dakota instead of grumbling over the
condition should be giving up praise
because this state is certainly the fav-
Iored spot OF the country this year"

RECEIPT TOT BAD NEWS
The News Of President MeKin!!ey's IDiQr-

Mitchell People.
The City Council Decided to Put a STOP

Mitchell Sent a Small Delegation Satur-

at Cleveland, Ohio.
RECEIPT OF THE BAD NEW S
The News of the Attempt to Assas-
sinate President Mckinley
Received With Sadness.

When the first news was received
in Mitchell at 4 O'clock Friday after
noon of the attempted assassination OF
President Mckinley while attending
the Buffalo exposition it could hardly
be believed that another president had
been shot down. The first information
was received by The REPUBLICAN by
telephone from Sioux Falls, and con-
tanned the mere announcement of the
disaster. Later brief press report
was received from Sioux City confirm
ing what the people hoped was not true.
The news was passed from lip to liI
and horror OF the deed was expressed
on every hand.
THE REPUBLICAN Office was busy
answering personal calls and queries
over the telephone for confirmation of
the sad affair, the people seeming 10th
to believe the calamity that had befall.
en- the nation. The message from
Sioux Falls and Sioux City was re.
oelved just in time to get brief an
nouncement of the occurrence in the
daily, and also the information of the
presidents death. Shortly afterward
another report was received stating
that his death was not confirmed and
and giving some brief information
about the assassin. This information
was hurriedly got into type at The RE
PUBLICAN Office, printed on small
sheet and inserted in the regular edition
before it left the office, thus giving oul
readers the latest possible information
of the sad affair.
