Today is the day ol the annual horse show for the Mobile Public Library. For several years this show has been a fea- ture of the spring season-not only be- cause of the very worthy object but be- beauty and all the world-the Mobile world that is-fiock to see it. But un- fortunately, familiarity in time robs even a flower show of its powers of attraction and this year the Board of Managers very wisely decided to do away with this fea- ture and make the affair strictly a horse and dog show. This is the first time that a bench show has ever been held in our city and the novelty of it appealed to all animal lovers and attracted a large crowd to the park where it was-held. 1t ia-teo

WASN'T UP ON R0MANCEs
John Engford, Therefore, Gets Int
Trouble and Is Arrested.

4 If John Engford, farmer, Of Chamber
iain,t 8. D., had read more romance than
agricultural weeklies, he would not have
been held yesterday to: the federal grand
jury in st. Paul. He would have known
that he must limit his paternal indigna-
ton against Fred Runge sof Kimball, s.
D., who wished to marry the farmers
daughter Bertha.
The father would have borne In mind
that 1t was his privilege to grow red in
the face; to "spurn' his disappointing
child, to call her IAN ungrateful hussy;;"
to lock her in he attic chamber in the
north tower Of the old manor house; to
limit her physical silstenace to breakfast
food and sparkling waterts;to pound loudly
on the floor with the biggest possible cane
and then announce to her ladyship'' that
she must be prepared to wed within TWEEN
ty-four hours the noble but knock -kneed
proprietor Of the adjoining forty acres
In the exercise Of these parental priyil-
eyes, John Engford would have been up
held by all literature and the United
States army. But so far from standing
his traditional ground, he asked for Mr..
Runge's mail, it is said, at the Kin1ball
postofice, and opened letter addressed
by faithful Bertha to the 'Iuckless suit

Father told daughter, and Bertha in
formed Fred, whereupon the luckless
swore out a warrant for the arrest OF q
parent that had dared to violate all prec-
edent and the federal statute.

BANK CLERKS CONVENTION
A Movement on Foot to Bring It
Here.

? i ~ Z Z 1
Agitation for securing the first national
convention OF the American Institute Of
Bank Clerks has been begun among the
banks and business men. This institute
was founded here in 1899 with the Mime
apolis chapter.
4 Therefore It is argued that in Mime
apo'is should be held the formal organiza-
ton Of the institute by the election of
officers.
The convention is to be held some time
in August and the selection OF the con-
yention city lies chiefly In the decision OF
Frederick I. Kent OF Chicago, the presi-
dent of teh largest chapter Of the twenty
seven now in existence.
3 It is expected that tlle8 Minneapolis
chapter vii soon have a. permanent home.

.BOODLER TELLS ALL
Former State Senator Of Missouri
Neeps as He Relates His
Story.
Gives Details Of Corruption Extend
ing Over a Period Of Ten
Years.

st. Louis. May 16.-Unable to bear the
strain Of mental torture which he says he
has suffered, Former State Senator Fred
l.. Busche went before Circuit Attorney
Folk yesterday afternoon and made COM
plete and far-reaching confession of his
connection with corrupt deals extending
over a period of eight years.
Busche's declarations involve several
men Of prominence.
Later Busche was taken before the
grand jury. When he emerged from the
room tears were streaming down his
cheeks. With his face buried in his hand
kerchief he hurried down the steps.
II had to do those things" said Busche,
In reciting his story to the circuit attor-
ney There were circumstances that
made a fellow take money or else get the
worst of it,
Doodle Money Plentiful.
Busche then went on to narrate his
connection with legislation four years ago.
He prefaced his remarks by saying that
all sorts of money was used at that time
to influence legislation.
Money he said, was offered on pref
ty nearly everything Of Importance. The
steam and street railway interests were
always very active, and their representa-
tives paid us" M
Busche proceeded to name several sem
ators who profted handsomely from legis-
lation at the 1899 session. and included
one or two who are members of the pres
ent assembly.
He broke down twice while confessing
with Mr.. Folk and weeping bitterly said:
II am telling these things only to ease
my mind
Book Trusts.
Going back to the irty-eighth assem-
bly,, when the bill to create a school book
commission was one Of the principal Is
sues before the legislature, Busche said
that the school trust put up big fund.
II got $1,000" he said, land others not
just as much, and some may be more"
7 :"On one OCCASION he said, there was
a resolution presented to have all bills
held in committee. / got $3.50 for holding
up that resolution.
Killing bills by smothering them in
committee was very common" he said.
Because Of the statute of limitations,
which prevents prosecution three years
after the crime Is committed, none of the
men against whom Busche has testified
can be indicted.
In 1897 I received money for voting for
the school text book bill. In 1899 Sehwick
paid me $50 for refusing to call UP reso-
luton demanding that certain bills be re-
ported received $500 for my vote on the
st. Louis transit bill. I received a, SAL
airy from the lobby to take care Of rail-
way and other legislation, usually
amounting to about $500 for the session.
AS near as I can figure I made about
SIS, 900 out of my legislative experience
No one knows how much I suffered dur
ing the past few weeks. I am sincerely
sorry"
He has corroborated much Of the con-
fession by former Senator Schweickhardt
Busche's confession exceeds that Of
Schweickhardt in the extent to which he
goes into revealing the workings Of the
corruptionists who have figured in legis-
lation during the past five years.

STAND FOR REMOVAL
The Swedish Lutheran Synod Again
Votes for Gustavus Adolphus
College Change.
Time for Solicitation Committee Elk
tended Committee to Select
Site Authorized.

ST.. Peter lost in the UNEQUAL contest
with Minneapolis and ST. Paul, before
the Minnesota conference OF the Angus 8
lana Swedish Lutheran synod, for the
removal Of Gustavus Adolphus college.
The conference still stands committed to
the removal idea and at this morning, s.
session sustained the soliciting commit
tee by extending its time for another
year by appointing committee Of nine
members to select a site for the college
either IN Minneapolis or st. Paul A mo-
tlon That the committee be not &empow-
cred to close a scontract unless the prom
ise Of a $25O,000 bonus be fulfilled was
voted down, .5 5. 1ss5s I'D. n n.
The whole morning was devoted to the
discussion. When 1t came to vote the
st. ePter party showed itself very weak. Il
The principal speaker for the st. Peter
faction was Henry Benson, an attorney
from ST. Peter, who insisted that the re-
moval OF the school would be its death
blow. Other speakers made the point that.
the conference had already decided on the
removal and could doubtless raise what
ever funds were needed.
DR.. Erick Norelius expressed himself
as convinced that tn esoliciting committee
had done it's work we'll sbut It's failure to
secure the necessary money showed that
the removal plans were too heavy to be
carried out. Rev. C. "A. Hultkrans of st.
Paul reminded the conference that it took.
AAvo years W IdlSe the 1unQS Tor the hos
pltal IN st. Paul, whe nit was hoped that
they would be secured in one year. The
present question had been before the con-
ference for nearly thirty years, declared
Dr. G. j. Petri Of Minneapolis It was
originally the intention to locate the
school in the twin cities, but the $10,O
bonus offered by ST. Peter had proved
too tempting. N O. Werner advised
that no steps be taken for a change until
the means were provided.
The removal motion was carried by an
immense majority, judging by the noise.
Senator G. A. Johnson of st. Peter de-
manded roll call-an unusual proceed
ing in the conference this motion
was Overwhelmingly defeated.
Then the motion to give the commit
tee further time to raise the fund Of $780,
900 was. carried apparently by about 300
voices. ssa.#5 #
On motion of the executive committee,
it was next decided to appoint commit
tee Of nine to select a location for the
college, three to be from Minneapolis,
three from st. Paul and three from other
points in either Minneapolis or st. Paul
The selection of the committee was re-
ferred to the committee on nominations.

.BULlC I IS QUIET
Gov. Tecona Reports That the Polit-
cal Situation There Could Not
Well Be Improved.
Says the Natives in That Province

Washington, May 16-Tlle bureau OF
lnsular affairs OF the war department has
received the annual report of Senior Pab-
10 Tecona,. governor of the province of
Bulacan. 2. l., for the year 1902. The
report says:
"The political situation Of the province
could not be more satisfactory. Since
took possession Of the government there
has not been noted the least perturbation

patriotism, without offering the least op-

is now passing. Y.

Of the past revolution, still exist in the

roads and settlements but having, how

has suffered from the loss of animals,
and the plague of locusts. He also gives

stone, that have, been constructed and
roads that have been improved
In speaking OF public instruction he
reports that education has not developed
as 1t should for the following reasons:
First the scarcity Of Filipino tea chers
who should be paid by the municipalities:
second, the lack Of a law compelling the
attendance Of children when their parents
thru apathy or ancient custom, do not
wish to send their children to school:
third, the continuous calanities that have
befallen this province during the year

most infected pueblos OF the province.
