THE NATIONAL GRANGE.
Reports of Officers-PIan to Awaken
Interest in the West.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 12-The sec
ond days session of the National
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, was
opened. today, by National Master
Aaron Jones. A resolution was offered
by George B. Horton, Michigan. pro-
viding that the next meeting be held
in Minnesota, Iowa or some other agri-
cultural State in the Middle West and
that at least one day be given to an
open delegation for the purposes of
creating sentiment among the farm
ers in that part of the country, favor
able to the Grange where the order is
not strong. The resolution will be
acted upon, tomorrow.
Reports of the various officers of the
National Grange were presented. The
report of the worthy lecturer, Gov N.
J. Bachelor, New Hampshire, covered
the educational work of the Grange.
Reference was made to the teaching of
the principles of agriculture in public
schools and to securing the rights of
agriculture in the so-called land grant
colleges. The governor said that farm
ers generally now approved the move
ment and he looked for the time when
such work would be taught in all the
schools of the land. Another matter,
he said, which is of great Importance
to agriculture is the re-establishment of
a vigorous agricultural sentiment. The
rapid strides made in manufacturing
and commercial interests has caused
decline in agricultural sentiment. 1t
is the duty of the Grange to promul-
gate the sentiment that agriculture is
the foundation of all industrial. COM

BROMLEY ADMITS DEED.
Says Stevens Had Annoyed Him Be-
You'd His Endurance.
(By Associated Press.)

Waterville. Me-, Noy. 12.-John
Bromley, who shot Hosea Stevens at
Rome, today, was brought here, to-
night, and locked up in the Waterville
police station. He was seen by a rep
resentative of The Associated Press,
to whom he said:
Il am sorry, but it is done, and 1
suppose l shall have to stand the con-
sequences. Stevens was continually
abusing me and imposing upon me.
He had done this for the past five
years. Our lands adjoined, and his
cattle and hogs were upon my farm
all the time. l started a meat route
meat. He called me bad names every
time he met me.
"[ did not intend to shoot Stevens,
today. l suppose I was so mad l did
not know what 1 was doing. 1t was
just like this: He had four hogs on my
land, today. 1 was out in the woods
when my wife came and told me of it.
l had no gun, so l went up to Bill Mo-
shers and borrowed his son Freds.
told Mrs. Mosher that l had game upon
my land and I wanted four shells to
kill it with. When I reached Stevens
place he had returned with his hogs
and stood in front of the barn door.
He said something to me, but I
really don't know what it was; at any
rate it made me mad. I suppose l fired
deliberately. I did not know what I
was doing, I think, but when I came
to myself and realized what had done
1 knew the best thing could do would
be to give myself up"
In answer to a question Bromley
admitted that last spring he drew 4
knife on Stevens during a quarrel. He
said that he and his victim had been
enemies during the entire time he had
lived in Rome, and added:
"Stevens had been trying to drive me
away from Rome. He wanted to get
my farm"

THE FAITHFUL WATCHDOG
Aroused This Family in Time to Save
Their Lives.

Merrimac, Mass, Nov. 12.-ArOused
by the barking of a faithful watchdog,
Mr.. and Mrs. Warren Thompson awoke,
early Thursday. to find their home in
flames and with scarcely time for them
to escape with their lives from the
burning building. From the house the
flames spread quickly to a large stock
barn adjoining and this building which
contained II cows, four horses and a
large quantity of hay. was destroyed
with it's contents. While assisting in
removing furniture from the burning
house, Hayden Patten, a fireman, was
struck by falling beam and painfully
but not seriously injured. The loss is
$4,000, and is partly covered by in

to the house of the constable, the tell
ing of the wife at home, the broken
explanations, the hurried preparation
and the long. sad ride through the night
to the beginning of what promised to
be lifetime of regret and remorse.
1t scarcely seems possible that such
fearful things could happen on a quiet
farm and it is little wonder that the
neighbors We're fairly stunned. Then
it was the first murder that has hap
pened in the section for many years,
if ever before.
The inquest will be held at the farm,
Friday, but arrangements have not yet
been made for the preliminary hearing
for Mr. Bromley, which will probably
be held in Watervile.

NEW BEDFORD TO CUT.
Her 10000 Operatives Will Probably
Have the Same Reduction.

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. 12.-From a
reliable source it is learned. today. that
wages in the local cotton mills will be
cut to meet the reduction announced, yes
terday, in Fall River. The Manufacture
ers' Association has not been called to
act on the matter, but a meeting Will be
held before long and when it is, the cut
down is certain to be put into effect. Only
one cloth mill in the city is running in
full and some of the mill men consider
the present situation and the outlook so
discouraging that they would not object
to a shutdown.
The weavers says that since wages were
advanced, a year ago last April. there
has been a virtual reduction in wages ow-
ing to changes in the cuts and other
causes. The cotton mills in New Bedford
employ about 1000 hands.

One Of the best known of our cir
cult court judges has an enemy, law
yer, who has once been his successful
opponent in politics, in one of the
towns on his rounds, and was general
ly subjected to some affront when he
reached there, says an exchange. The
lawyer took so little pains to conceal
his contempt that one of the judge s
friends was moved to ask:
''Why don't you squelch H?
He needs it,
The judge laid knife and fork across
his plate, folded his hands, and seem
ingly apropos of nothing at all, said:
up in my home town there's a
widow with an ugly yallow dog that,
whenever there is moonlight, sits on
her steps and howl until the town
can't sleep, and generally keeps it up
till daylight.
He then resumed his dinner. The
friend looked at him in amazement
for moment, and then inquired:
well, what of it?''
WELL" said the judge slowly,
the moon keeps right on. -

MAKES A FINE SHOWING.

The Clarion Ledger says that State
Revenue Agent Writ Adams is prepar
ing his biennial report to be submit
ted to the January session Of the leg
islature, and that this report will
show collections made by the revenue
agent during the past two years
amounting to between $800,000 and
5000, 600. Of this sum $5eO,O0O was
from the Yazoo and Mississippi Val
ley railroad and the remainder is on
solvent credits assessed against delin-
quents in the various counties.
Mr.. Adams and his deputies in
their solvent credit crusade visited all
the counties in the state but sixteen,
and those will be visited as soon as
the amount of tax claims of this kind
are in process Of collection, lists hav-
ing been filed with the tax collectors
in number of counties on which re-
ports have not yet been made.
The conclusion of the solvent credit
assessments will practically wind up
the big delinquencies within the pow
er of the revenue agent to collect.
Mr.. Adams still has quite number of
suits pending, including the foreign
building and loan litigation which
has not yet reached the courts on it's
most vital points.

Il. Roy, member of the firm of Roy

he had some great fishing while away,
catching one day several pickerel in

ing over three feet long.
4 can tell you fish story that
some people won't believe, said Mr..
Roy, but I'll swear it's true. A man
and his twelve-year old son were
fishing in the st. Johns while I was
there. The boy was leaning over the
side OF the boat peering into the water
when muscalonge, seeing his nose
touching the water sand thinking it a
bait, made run for it and grabbed
the nose. The boy yelled and threw
himself back into the boat, pulling
the fish with him. I saw the fish
and it weighed fifteen pounds. I saw
the boy, too, and he had his nose
wrapped with bandages and plasters,
the fish's teeth having lacerated the
member badly. Aside from a very
sore nose and being badly frightened
the boy was all right when I saw him
last. -

THE RANKIN TURNPIKE.
The Jackson News Urges the City OFF,
cialS to Have it Repaired.

Jackson News: The merchants OF
Jackson are greatly worried about the
Rankin county turnpike for if it il
not placed in good repair before the
winter months set in they will lose
heavily in the trade that comes from
that section.
Now is the time for the Jackson
officials to place the Rankin pike in
good condition. The weather at pres
ent is ideal, all that could be wished
for the purpose of working the roads,
and the city officers should take ad-
vantage of it and have the turnpike
worked The winter months will
shortly set in, the cold, wet season,
and then it will be impossible to
work the road or even keep it in such
condition that the farmers of Rankin
can come to jackson and make theil
purchases
The Rankin pike, which is just
across the river, is usually bad dur.
ing the winter months, and the Jack
son merchants will lose hundreds CT
dollars if it is not placed in good re.
pair. This is the opinion of the city
| merchants.
1t has been held by the Rankin
county authorities that the ''turn.
pike" belongs to the city of Jackson,
and it is more than certain that the
people of the free state are not going
to put one dollars worth of Improve
ment upon it. Such is not to theil
interest. If the turnpike is to be
placed in good condition for the win
ter months the officials OF Jackson hac
best do it themselves.

McLAURIN FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
The New York Journal in it's issue
of October 18, annoucnes Senator A. J..
McLaurin, of Mississippi, for the vice
presidency. 1t is time the north and
the south divided honors in national
affairs, and there is no man in the
south who could, better show the
strength Of the democaric party in the
south than Hon. A. J. McLaurin.
The New York Journal says:
Senator McLaurin is lsader of
men, a member of a distinguished
family which was impoverished in
his youth. He forged his way to the
front, overcoming obstacles that would
have destroyed cne of less intensity of
purpose. He served his state as a
soldier, but when the war was over he
accepted the conditions as he found
them and devoted himself to rehabiIi-
tating the broken fortunes Of the south.
AS lawyer he was profound, and
as statesman he held closely to the
strict rules of the Jeffersonian school.
He was one of the best governors Mis-
sissippi ever had, and the people Of
his state rewarded him as governor by
sending him to the United States
senate; where he, along with Senator
Money, do we'll the work that was
formerly done by Lamar, George and
Walthall.
Senator McLaurin is an intense
democrat. In the campaign of the
last third of the century he has al
ways been leader along the lines of
regular democracy. No man is more
highly esteemed by his fellow citizens
OF Mississippi than is Senator Nc
Laurin. -
