And Praiseworthy.

And Praiseworthy.
Greensboro Reeord)
The efforts being made by President
Dudley, of the a. and NJ. College. in this
city. to procure scholarships for the
needy and deserving young men of his
race. who cannot without the pecuniary
aid OF others acquire an education is
highly commendable and praiseworthy.
In his circular appeal to the friends of
his race. he frankly states eve wish only
to help those who are doing all they can
to help themselves; in other words. he
does not desire to establish scholarships
for the INDECENT poor. but for those who
are struggling TO fit themselves for some
useful occupation in life.
He most aptly states that the time has
come in the conditions and environments
confronting his race. when they should
no longer look to Raleigh TO Washing
ton. or exclusively to their white friends
for aid but 10 themselves for the educa-
ton of the young. and the Improvement
of their condition. and hopes that his
own people will be inspired by the ex-
ample of the white race in providing
SCuolaTSnlpS lot tnelr deserving young
men. to emulate them, and assist him TO
educate with the aid of the college those
most deserving of help. This line OF
action is in keeping with the broad and
progressive spirit which Characterizes
President Dudley as friend of educa-
tion. No longer ago than last week, he
subscribed out of his own pocket fifty
dollars 10 aid in the establishment OF
schools III Guilford county, and we feel
sure that not only his own race. but his
white friends as well. will render him
substantial encouragement in his laud-
able endeavor to not only better the con-
dition of his own race, but contribute
thereby a higher order of citizenship
among them. OF which both they and the
State would be the beneficiaries
There is no doubt about il. the future
welfare and prosperity of the colored
race lie in the direction of useful and
practical education and training in the
mechanic and industrial arts. and for
this the \. and NJ. College is a race
necessity.

BY the terms of the convention the
Southern frontier, between Siam and
Camboi, is moved from the mouth of
the river Pick Kompong- Tia-on, the
great lake to the mouth of the Stang
ronlos in the province of Angokar. The

remains Siamense, but he undertakes
to employ only Siamese troops officer
ed by Siamese in the whole Mekong
basin.
If Siam desires to construct ports,
canals or railways in the Siamese por-
ton of the Mekong basin she must OBJ
tain the consent of the French govern
ment to employ foreign help if she is
unable to carry out the work by means
of a Siamese staff and Siameses capital.
The convention forbids the imposition
of differential duties or charges for the
use of ports, canals and railways con-
trary to the principle of commercial
equality promised by Siam. AS soon
as the new frontiers are handed over
to France the French troops will eyac-

HENRY WHITE IS
TO GO TO ITALY
Late President Mckinley Desired It
John B. jackson Also to
Be Promoted.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. Hen
ry White, secretary of the United
States embassy at London, is to be
made ambassador to Rome.
The late President Mckinley intend
ed to thus reward Mr.. White, but found
no opportunity during his incumbency.
President Roosevelt, who has formed
the same estimate of Mr.. Whites abili-
ties that President Mckinley had, has
decided to make him ambassador to
Rome. The appointment, however, is
not to be made Immediately. Mr.. Mey-
er, the present ambassador, has just
returned to that post from a visit to
his home in Massachusetts and it is
expected he will remain in Rome dur
ing the coming winter.
John B. Jackson, who has been Sec
rotary of the embassy at Berlin since
1894, also is slated for an important
diplomatic appointment, the purpose
being to send him to one of the first
desirable ministries that becomes va
cant. His promotion is to be based
upon the same reason as will inspire
that of Mr.. White, namely, desire to
extend into the diplomatic service the
principle of promotion based on merit,
which has worked so we'll in other
branches of the government.
The recent changes in American
embassies and ministries was inspired
by the same motive, and it is felt that
men of higher quality can be retained
in the diplomatic service when it be-
comes known that the best places are
to be filled by the promotion of those
in the subordinate posts who show
particular fitness for their work.

FEAR EXPRESSED THAT MRS.
WILLIAM HUSTON HAS SLAIN
GIRLS AND SELF
DISAPPEAR SUDDENLY
FROM kEokUk HOME
Woman Had Dropped Mysterious Hint
That Something Would Soon Happen
Thought to Be Demented-Adds to
Enigma by Leaving Prominent Mans
Name-Says He Didn't Know.

KEOKUK, Iowa, Oct. Police are
searching this city and the surrounding
country for Mrs. Kate Huston and her
four little girls. They are the entire
family of William Huston, who came
here with them from La Crosse, Wis.,,
one week ago to start feed store. The
family rented a house in a good part
of the city and seemed happy to their
neighbors. Huston reported to the po-
lice today that his wife had disappear
ed last Friday night when he reached
his home and had left no trace. The
children range from eighteen months
to eleven years in age and had disap-
peared with the mother. The husband
first communicated with his wife's sis
ter, Mrs. Julia Logue, of Mount Pleas
ant, Iowa, but his family was not
there.
Mrs. Logue came here and says Mrs.
Huston recently talked to her about
something happening to herself, and
Mrs. Logue believes that Mrs. Huston
committed suicide after killing the
children. The husband impresses the
police well, and they incline to the sui
eide theory. A phase of deeper mys-
terry is added to the case by a note
found lying on a table in the deserted
home when Huston arrived. This note
was conspicuously placed and contain
ed simply the name and address of a
prominent business man of Keokuk,
who says he never heard of Mrs. Hus-
ton before. The husband and sister of
Mrs. Huston believe she is insane.

Jury Refuses Jesse Eckert a Verdict

of twelve farmers in the Jefferson dis
trict court placed the seal of disap-
prevail on one new Iowa idea in regard
to marriage contracts. The jury refus-
ed to give a man a judgment for dam
ages for breach of promise. One Jesse
Eckert brought suit in court for $4,000
damages for breach of promise of mar
riage against Miss Kittie Mckee. He
attached property of the fair young
defendant of greater value than the
sum claimed and proceeded to contest
in court for his judgment.
On the trial he recited how he had
made love to Miss Kittie and had won
her heart and secured the promise of
her hand, and how he had told the joy
full news to his friends, and they had
rejoiced with him. Then she refused
to marry him. She testified in her
own behalf, admitting the promise, but
declaring that after the promise was
made Eclzert had developed passion
for strong drink, and for that reason
had refused to marry him. Miss Nc
Kee brought counter suit for $4,000
damages against Eckert for the wrong
full attachment of her property. The
jury rendered a verdict of 81 in favor
of Miss Mckee, thus throwing the costs
on Eckert and relieving Miss Mckee
of the embarrassing attachment.

on serious light, and County Attorney
Lindbergh was called Monday night by

Trouble has been brewing for months
and recently Mrs. Jacob Duscher went to

Duscher Was armed. Father Pfeffer
claims that one evening shots were fired
at his house. He went into the yard and
emptied Winchester rifle in the direc-

to come. The town council has sworn in

and death ultimately result. rEhe piece of
fractured vertebra and the bullet were
introduced as evidence.
The most important witness today was
Fred Zanders, the marshal of Lewiston,
who was in the Nussloch house at the
time of the shooting. He testified that
he had been asked by NuSsloch to watch
his house, for rumors were I'M circulation
that Pabst was visiting Mrs. Nussloch
when no one else was present. On the
night of the shooting he concealed him
self in the woodshed and saw Pabst come
to the back door, andsI after peeking
through the windows, forced the door
open quietly and slid In. He then went to
Rice's store, where NuSsloch was en-
ployed and motioned to- him Nussloch
sent him back and he bwaited outside.
After a. little waiting Nussloch and three
others came along, ones of whom, Mr..
Madden, was sent to the front door, and
Adam Heck to the woodshed door. The
third man. Fisher, accompanied Nuss-
loch and Zanders to the kitchen door.
Nussloch tried the door, but it was fast.
He forced it in and the three entered
quickly. Nussloch went right into the
parlor, and witness saw Pabst kneeling
on the lounge and just arising Pabst
started for the outside door and Nuss-
loch called to him to stop, but he con-
tinued and Nussloch went after him, the
report of a revolver soon being heard by
witness. Mayor Peters and DR.. Vernon
were then summoned, and Nussloch gave
himself up to Marshal Zanders.
