uprooted, the bark entirely peeled off
OF some trees, the whole presenting the
appearance of having been visited by
fire rather than by wind. Mr.. Gallagher's
barn was destroyed, and the earth swept
so clean that one not familiar with the
premises would hardly be able to tell
where it stood. A large barn fork was
driven through six-inch oak tree. One
COW had her head twisted off half way
down the neck.
Most of the trees on the side hill next
TIC the lake were uprooted, and for miles
east pieces of board stick up in the
ground as though driven there by maui.
A photograph with Miss Nettie's name
written on the back was found two miles
east. The spectacles of one of the girls
were found near the lake shore on
little point of land, and a piece of win
dow sash thought to belong to the house
was picked up in the city yesterday
morning.

TREND OF TRADE.
Reported daily by Edwards. WOOD Z CO.
Room II Hunt Building.

Minneapolis, July2
Wheat: Liverpool cables 3-S lower
or about equal to 1-2 our decline of
yesterday. Farther rains in the Red
River Valley are reported last night.
Mayville and jamestown each report
ing five hour rain. This and weakness
in ST. Louis market opened our market
3-8 to II lower. The trade today was
without the snap and life SO notice
able during the last two weeks.
Traders seemed to have arranged
their trades and the whole market
had.a dull and Indifferent tone. The
Price Current says that the progress
of the harvest OF the nOrthward does
not improve the outlook materially,
being especially disappointing in Ohio
and Missouri. However it looks for
ward to a 725, 900, 900 bushel crop which
was considered bearish and turned the
market quite weak toward the close.
The best buyers today were the eleva-
tor interests; the receipts continue to
run under last year, although cash
wheat is several cents over year ago.
Primary receipts 100000 bushels,
shipments $4,000 bushels! Last year
367, 900 bushels, shipments 342, 1000
bushels Total clearances equal 49,
256 bushels. The market has had a
severe break and it should recover
from this point. 1t might be well to
follow the market closely, buying on
the weak places and taking profits on
the bulgeS until something definite
turnSup.

Latin with eight credits, three years OF
mathematics with seven credits, half
year each of senior grammar and arith-
metic with three credits. The elective
studies would be allowed three credits.
There would be one and half years of
history and half year of civics. A
total of fifteen credits would be required
as against fourteen heretofore.
The other course would be stronger in
history and science than heretofore. All
English, mathematics and history would
be given six credits. There would be two
years of science, one for physics and one
elective, with four credits, and the cleo
tive subjects would be allowed four
credits. The number of elective subjects
would be reduced to science, physics,
chemistry, photography, physiology, bot
any, history, bookkeeping and German.
President Davis and Mr.. Davies ex-
pressed themselves as in favor of drop
ping the German, but Mr.. Comstock
wanted it retained, at least as an elective
subject. He thought the time given to
civics was too brief, and said that there
is dense ignorance in the community on
American civics. He favored a full year
for the subject.
President Davis said that. he agreed
with the last speaker on the subject of
civics, but as the board was obliged to
retain Latin, he thought it best to put
the time devoted to German to some sub
ject of more practical value. The OBJ
ject in making change in the course of
study was to make it as practical as
Mr.. Hughes asked whether half year
of reading and speaking could not be
gotten in and required in both courses.
This would correct a great defect in the
graduates.
President Davis agreed with this.
Mr.. Fletcher favored practical course,
and would leave the university out of
sight if necessary. Graduates of the
commercial college can step right into
offices. Students can go there from the
eighth grade, and are better qualified
than the high school graduates, after
four years. He would make of the high
school graduates good readers and speak
ers, good writer's and spoilers and good
mathematicians, and teach them such
other subjects as are useful every day.
Mr.. Uline said that the students are
becoming better spoilers and better in
arithmetic each year. 1t was said that
put of sixty papers in arithmetic sent
from Mankato to the state examination,
were perfect. He did not
think that the point would ever be reach
ID where the graduates would be prepar-
I'd to step into positions.
On motion of Mr.. Hughes, the report
vas referred to the committee on schools
20 prepare course of study and report
1T the next meeting.
The bills were allowed and the board
adjourned.

False Reports.

West Point, Aug. IS. The re-
port being circulated that | had
anything to do with the kilograms
sent out on the day of tho last
primary, stating that Senator
Noel had withdrawn, or had ad
mitted defeat, is absolutely I'M
true.
Senator Noel attaches no blame
to me; and in no way holds me
responsible, even in the remotest
degree, for these kilograms.
These reports, like many other
falsehoods, have no basis in fact,
and | am amazed that the partl-
sans of any candidate for high Of
fee should stoop to the methods
which are being restorted to in a
desperate effort to defeat me.

NELSON'S MURDERER.
Last Heard Of He Was Going East.

It is satisfactorily settled that
the murderer of James Nelson on
the Monticello road last Friday
night was Jake Monin, a negro
about five feet ten, almost black.
One peculiar thing about Monin
is his very large feet. He wears
a number II shoe and makes 49,
inch track.
On last Saturday morning, Con-
stable ID. Blue and Monroe Besso-
nett got on his trail where the
murder occurred and tracked him
to within seven miles of Month
cello, when a heavy shower caused
them to lose it. A negro answer
ing his description was seen by
some one about sun rise that morn
ing at point near where the trail
was lost.
The supposition is that the ne
gro was making for the vicinity
of Blountville, where his wife is
said to be engaged as a cook. The
officers went on to Monticello and
after a fruitless search returned
Sunday. Meantime all Lawrence
county, on both sides of the river,
had become aroused and the citi-
zens every where were on the alert
for the murderer. Still, in some
mysterious way, he eluded cap
ture, and it is thought crossed
the Pearl above Monticello.
Yesterday Sheriff Applewhite
received a telephone message from
Crystal Springs, notifying him
that negro answering Monin's
description had been captured -
miles east of that place. He went
up and brought him to Brook
haven, but the prisoner was found
to be a negro named Will Smith,
who had shot at his wife at Nc
Comb City and ran away, crossing
Pearl River below Monticello and
making his way towards Crystal
Springs on the other side.
Later: This morning a report
was in circulation that Monin had
been captured on the eastern bor-
der of Lawrence county, but it
has not been confirmed.

Drunken Negro Shot.

Quite a commotion was caused
in town between II and II O'Clock
Monday by a drunken negro,
badly wounded, being carried
along front street to DR.. Wilson's
Office by officers Willoughby, Byrd
and Magee. He was a young
mulatto named William Walls. 1t
seems he had first become bowling
drunk near the cotton oil mill,
where he fourished and shot off
his pistol and threatened to shoot
negro woman who was passing
by. On learning that the marshal
had been summoned to arrest him
he hulriedly left that portion of
town and took refuge in the house
of Henry Womack, colored, on
the ridge. beyond the court house.
When Constable Willoughby and
City Marshal Byrd got there
and called on him to come out or
surrender, he would do neither
and opened fire on the marshal.
No sooner had he done this than
Constable Willoughby, who had
gone around the house fired at
him twice through crack in the
rear, and shot him through both
thighs. He then gave in, but con.
tinued noisy and boisterous until
turned over to the doctor.
| His wounds are not likely to
prove fatal. After they had been
| dressed, he was held in $500 bond
| for resisting the officers.
