PREPARATION DEMANDED OF TURKEY
EUROPEAN SQUADRON ORDERED
TO BE IN READINESS TO
!. SAIL FOR SCENE.

Washington, Aug 28.-The state dc
partment has received a telegram fror
Minister Leishman at Constantinopl
announcing that William G. Magelsser
United States vice consul at Beirut
Syria, was assassinated while riding II
q carriage
The American minister immediatel.
brought the crime to the attention o
the government and demanded actor
by Turkey.
Acting Secretary Loomis has cablet
Minister Leishman instructing him t
demand the immediate arrest and pun
ishment of the persons guilty OF thu
murder. No demand for money indem
nifty for the mans family has yet beer
made and probably will follow.
Magelssen was appointed from Min
nesota.
Minister Leishman'S cablegram was
dated Wednesday and stated that the
assassination occurred Sunday, the
minister being informed of the crime
by Consul Ravndal The consul stated
that the murderer was not seen and is
not known.
Magelssen, who is Scandinavian
was appointed vice consul at Beirut
Sept. 20. 1899. by Consul Gabriel Bic
Ravndal. who Is Of the same national
ity. At the time of his appointment
as vice consul he was consular clerk
In Turkey. Magelssen was appointed
on the recommendation of Senator Mel
son OF Minnesota, who says that he
was the son Of prominent Lutheran
minister. He was born at BratZburg,
Fillmore county, MINI.
Warships Ready to Move.
Admiral Cotton commanding the
European squadron. has been cabled
by the navy department to have his
vessels in readiness to move to Beirut,
which is on the eastern shore of the
Mediterranean sea, In case the de-
mands of the United States govern
m~nt upon the Turkish government
are not complied with. The Brooklyn
and the San Francisco are at Vile
franche and the Machias Is at Genoa.
The announcement Of the assassina-
tion Of the American vice consul. fol-
lowing SO soon upon the assassination
of a Russian consul in Turkey, created
strong comment In official circles and
the suggestion was made that such
frequent assassinations indicate q
very disturbed condition of affairs In
the Turkish dominions. Minister
Leishman gave no particulars of the
assassination and the state depart
ment has no information as to the
cause of the murder The American
govornment will insist that the local
authorities be punished if they were
dcreIict in their duty and that full
measure of punishment be given the
actual perpetrators of the outrage.
Beirut is a city on the eastern coast
of the Mediterranean sea and Is
place of considerable commercial i'm
portance 1t Is probable that the ac-
ton OF the Turkish government and
the conditions existing at Beirut will
determine whether or not the Euro
pean squadron Is to be sent to Turk
ish waters. Unless the Turkish gov
ernment acts promptly upon the de-
mands made by the United States gov
ernment 1t Is expected that the Euro
pean squadron will at once move east
ward.

ANDERSON COUNTY
NORMAL INSTITUTE

The Anderson CountyNormal Institute
OF 1903 will be held at Garnett, commenc-
ing Monday, June GOTH
Enlightened people demand the best
and are willing to pay tor it. School
boards are no exception to this rule. and
there has been noticeable increase in the
wages paid the teachers of this county
during the past school year as compared
with the wages of former years. This
we believe to be true, solely owing to
theconiparative efficiency of the teachers;
and no man or woman who intends to
enter, or continue in the profession can
afford to neglect anything that will add
to his or herefhclency andearning power.
An eminent teacher recently said: "If
| have gained any proficiency as a teacher
it has been largely due to nv association
with teachers" In no place can this
association be so beneficial as in summer
institutes, conducted by able, experienced
successful educators, and attended by
energetic, progressive teachers of the
community
Every effort is being put forth to make
the coming institute one OF the best ever
held in the county. Prof. A. b Carney,
the conductor, has a statewide reputa.
ton as an enthusiastic school man, and
one particularly endowed with the
power to inspire others. For the future
success of Your school work you cannot
afford to miss his instructions in school
music, physical culture, methods and
reading.
Arrangements are now being made tor
lecture, some time during the month
of July, by one of Americas greatest
platform orators, which will be made
free. or at greatly reduced rates, to mem
bers OF the institute. Begin vourarrang
ments now and let every one who con,
templates teaching next year attend thia
institute.

being mad until the latter got out of
bed turned the key of the door and
preferred mild request to the writer
to have his throat cut, handing him at
the same time an open pocketknife,
which he produced from underneath
his pillow. 1 objected to the knife as
being too small for the purpose and
begged to be allowed to go for my case
Of amputating knives, with which,
explained, the operation could be per-
formed with greater neatness and dis
patch. He unlocked the door at once,

me to lose no time in returning. drove

Tribes as Irritants.

We are so constituted that what is
occurring at the moment interests us
often out of all proportion to it's i'm
portance. For example, we are thrown
off our balance by the merest tri1es
perhaps which occur today, but which
in weeks time may have no signifi-
canoe whatever. Obstacles which seem
like mountains when we meet them
dwindle away to molehills when we
get away from them.
Even what seems tragedy at the mo-
ment in the future may be the most
innocent comedy.
Most of US are so constituted that we
will make almost any sacrifice for pres
ent peace. It would seem easier to have
an arm or a leg amputated two years
hence than to lose finger today! It is
human nature to shrink from pain, and
we purchase release at almost any cost.
If we could only train the mind to look
at today's trouble and annoyance from
the standpoint of the future, it would
be much easier to bear.-Success.

Harmony In the Leave. of a Tree.

which the leaves grow the admiration
Of the scientific agriculturist will be-
come thoroughly aroused over the per-
feet consistency and artistic skill mani
tested in the arrangement Of each
spray and the exact number of leaves
arranged with the most exquisite art
and regularity. Every group of leaves
forms merely long lines some short
and each one different-no two alike,
no two in the same position, yet all so
perfect and tremendously blended that
there can be no antagonism, no same

ARanous Portrait Painters Opinion.

Il Famous Portrait Painters Opinion.
The famous artist Won Lenbach had
one great dominant principle-that out
of nature one should grasp and hold
fast but one thing in portraiture, the
head; that this exponent of the soul
must stand out in undisturbed unity; ;
that accessories of whatever kind,
whether dress or form, must distract
and weaken the impression that the
head should produce; that portrait
to attain it's highest aim and signifi-
canoe must look out from background
of nothingness and must be shorn of
every detail that interferes with this
unity of purpose.-Cosmopolitan.
