EDITORS OUT ON
ANNUAL TRIP.
TO BE THE LARGEST GATHERING 6
IN THE HISTORY OF THE
ASSOCIATION.
Press Trip Began Wednesday-Banquets.
Reception, and Other Things On
the Side.
T. G. WATKINS IS TO BE PRESIDENT.

(The Courier-Journal saysD
Fifty knights of the pen and
their ladies left Louisville Tues
day in the special coaches pro-
vided by the courtesy of the Of
ficials of the Louisville, Hender-
son and st. Louis road, and four
hours later joined their brothers
of the press in making the
Owensboro convention of the
Kentucky Press Association the
best in the history of the associa-
tion.
Owensboro has done its part,
and the reception arranged for
"ye editors" taxed their unlim-
tied powers of enjoyment. An
address by Col. w. @. P. Breck-
inridge, of the Lexington Herald; !;
a banquet, reception, drives and
an occasional business session
are some of the many means des-
ignated for the Inauguration of
scribes' junket which is to fol-
low the gathering at Owensboro.
The trip mapped out this year,
though not covering as wide a
range of territory as some that
have gone before, promises much
in the way of pleasure. The
convention ended Wednesday
night, the delegates, sweethearts
and wives took the special of
Pullmans provided by the Lou
isville, Henderson and st. Louis
and the Louisville and Nashville
railroads and left for about a
weeks outing.
Before the editors set out on
their journeyings they will choose
their officers for the coming year,
and in so doing will confer the
highest honor in the gift of the
association upon Mr.. Thomas g..
Watkins, the financial editor of
the Courier-Journal. Mr.. Wat

will leave vacant the office of vice
president, which he now holds,

n MONSTER harvest of wheat,
A a harvest so big that the peo-
pie of the wheat belt wonder
how 1t is all going to be gath
cred and handled, is now being gar.
nered in Uncle Sans big wheat grow
ing districts.
These July days, then, are busy ones
for the wheat farmer. From early
morn till late at night and often all
night long when the moon is shining
the clack and whir of the header,
binder and thrasher are heard in the
fields. Busy men and toiling horses la
Dor and sweat under the burning July
sun while the fruits of natures handi-
work are being gathered.
The harvesting of wheat begins first
of course, in the southern portion of
the country. For instance, the binders
began humming in the fields of south
ern Missouri as early as the 10th Of
June and will be heard far into Au-
gust in the Dakotas and British Amer
lea.
OF late years the labor problem has
been n vexing one with the big grain
growers. Even with the great help af-
forded by harvesting machinery it is
difficult to get men and horses to save
the crops.
Less than a score of years ago few
farmers would think of sowing more
wheat or corn than their own regular
help could gather at harvest time.
The most a farmer in any community
would do was to call q few of the
neighbors to assist if the grain threat
ened to ripen too fast while it was
being cut. The importing of labor was
unthought of.
But today the wheat belts of the
northwest and the southwest afford a
striking contrast to the relatively
small industry of those days. Hun
dreds of acres in one field. one farmer
operating twenty-five binders and en-
ploying q hundred harvest laborers,
was beyond the widest dreams of the
old time agriculturist. Yet this is COM
mon enough in the wheat growing dis
tricts today.

TRIBUTE TO JOHN P. ALTGELD
Ex-Governor II Pronounced a Hero
Who Fought V~aliantly and
Died G~Ioriosuly.

NEW YORK, April "A worklngmen's
memorial service in honor Of the late John
P. Altgeld, former governor of Illinois, was
held tonight at Copper Union. A. ]. Boul-
ton called the meeting to order and Henry
George, jr., was introduced as the chair
man for the evening.
Mr.. George said there never was a
greater hero than Altgeld and declared he
had the courage to carry out his convic-
lions no matter what anyone said or
thought or did. John N. Parsons said It
was to be regretted that the tribute to
Altgeld could not have been paid him be-
fore his death.
Although dead" he said. Ibis works
live after him"
What / say here tonight" said Clar-
ence S. Darrow of Chicago, will not make
those who hated Altgeld feel any more
kindly towar the dead hero. He never
cringed nor fawned to friend or foe. He
never sought the press to speak kindly of
him or cared what the people said. He
did his work and was content to let the
future regard his memory. He is dead
now and can AFFORD to wait and his name
shall shine Of the work that he did for
the poor. He knew no creed, no nation
ality. He believed in equal rights for all
men,"
Resolutions were passed expressing re-
spect for the memory Of Governor AItgeld
as one who fought valiRntly and died
gloriously in the greatest Of all causes
that of humanity"
The resolutions mentioned the pardoning
Of the anarchists and set forth that Gov
ernor Altgeld took the ground that the
men had not been convicted fairly and by
due process Of law.

HOLDUP NEAR STATE SCHOOL
". ]. Cover Robbed Of Gold Watch ant
Bicycle.
TWO MEN EXPLORE HIS POCKETS
Curse Him for Not Having Money on
His Person and order Him
TO Run AfOot TO
City.

W. J. Cover, while riding into the city
on his bicycle last night about 9 O'Clock,
was held up and robbed by two men near
the State School for the Deaf. They took
from him his gold hunting-cas watch and
bicycle. Neither OF the fellows was dis
guised, but Cover was unable to furnish
the police a description of them owing to
the darkness.
Cover was riding slowly and was passing
the school when the two men, who had
been standing in the shadow OF the trees
which line the road, stepped into the high
way and asked him the way to Council
Bluffs. He stopped to answer them and
as he did so one Of the fellows presented a
revolver at his head, at the same time or
dering him to dismount and hold up his
hands. Cover did as he was ordered. While
the fellow kept Cover covered with the re-
volver the other went through his pockets,
taking his watch. Both appeared disap-
pointed when they found no money and
cursed him for not having any. Failing to
secure any money, one Of the fellows sug-
gested they take the bicycle and suiting
the action to the word one of them grabbed
it while the fellow with the revolver or
dered Cover to start down the road as fast
as his legs could carry him.
In his account to the police Cover stated
that when he was some distance from the
fellows he turned and fired two shots
from his revolver at them. The police
learned that two men, one leading a bicycle,
had been seen to enter town from South
avenue, but we're unable to find any trace
Of them or the wheel.

BoER LEADER MAKES CHARGES
General Pearson Says United states
Has Furnished FOrty-Two Thou
sand men TO British.

WASHINGTON, April 4-Genersl Sam
uel Pearson, formerly Of the Boer
army, has returned to Washington
from New orleans. where he went to
gather proof to sustain his charge that the
British authorities in Louisiana had, in
violation of the laws OF neutrality, set up
a regular military establishment from
which their army in South Africa was be-
ing furnished with men, horses, mules and
supplies.
General Pearson tonight declared that
America had contributed at least AZ, 900
men to aid the British in their hght against
the Beers and had furnished the British
government with POI, 149 horses and mules.
The men consist of muleteers shipped from
New Orleans, some Of whom have been
compelled to enlist against the burghers
and paid agents and men who are sent
throughout the country to buy up horses
and mules. He said there are one British
general, two colonies and sixty captains
and lieutenants in this country now, with
headquarters at New Orleans.
The general alleged that although men
are engaged with the understanding that
when they reach Capetown they may re-
turn on the first ship leaving for the
United States. their passage is refused or
long delayed and every influence brought on
them to enlist in the British army. With
every shipload Of mules sent to South AZ
RIGA the disguised British officers in charge
OF the transport and cargo, he said, employ
a small army of men to take care of these
ANIMALS securing enough men to assign
one to every two or three mules.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Secretary Hay
has received from Governor Heard of
Lnuiaia ma tho atafapnonN ,ofo,.zl - l. 81
mornings publications, alleging the exist
ence Of a British camp at Chalmette. lust
below New Orleans, on the Mississippi river.
The governors communication is yolumiu-
Gus, comprising statements and afhds Wits
intended to disclose the character of the
alleged camp. BY direction Of the presi-
dent, it has been referred to the attorney
general with a view to securing an opinion
on certain legal points involved, and mean
while 1t will not be given out for publica-
ton.
While the State department will not hest
tate a moment to make inquiry into the
correctness Of any such charges preferred
by any responsible person, such as the
governor OF Louisiana, 1t is believed that
even now the department is not without
its own ideas as to what is going on at
Chalmette and this knowledge has not
shaken the departments original view that
these operations are entirely lawful, and
that there is no power in the national or
state governments to prevent them. So
long as the shipments from Chalmette are
confined to horses, live stock, fodder and
provisions and the port is not made the

dition, 1t is held that there is no warrant
for interference even II the supplies are
