Special to The Globe.
OWATONNA. Mimi, April 4.-While
a north abound Rock Island freight
train was passing through Owatonna
this -vening an unknown man who
was stealing a ride to st. Paul was
brutally murdered by two tramps. Will
liam St. Martin, of Faribault, and A.
J. Driscoll, of Sac county, Iowa, saw
the hoboes kill the man and reported
the murder to the Owatonna police.
Two hours later two men were ar
rested at Northfield, charged with hav-
ing committed the murder.
According to the story told by Dris-
coll and st. Martini they were steal
ing ride on the same train with the
two tramps and their victim. The no
boes and the murdered man were in
car behind the one in which Dris-
coll and St Martin were.
AS the train neared &Owatonna the
tramps demanded that sthe man, who
was in their company, hand over his
money. He was just. about to COM
ply with their request when one of
the hOboes struck him over the head
with the butt of his revolver. The
other tramp then fired at the victim,
the bullet striking him in the center
of his forehead.
After assuring themselves that their
victim was dead, the two Weary Willies
coolly looted the dead man, taking ev-
erything of value that ne carried in
his pockets.
Driscoll and ST. Martin, who wit
messed the deed, jumped from the train
mile north of Owatonna and walked
back to town to inform the police.
They told the police that the murder
ers said that they would throw the
body from the train when they got a
few miles away from the village.
Searching parties are now hunting
for the remains of the dead man, but
late tonight the body has not been
found. The Owatonna police notified
the police at Faribault and Mortified
of the crime and asked them to be on
the lookout for the perpetrators Of
the deed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 4. -
Though the postOffice appropriation bill

vocates of the bill for the repeal of
the desert land act and the commuta-
ton clause of the homestead act were
proceeding at the instigation and In
the interest Of land grant railroads.
Mr.. Gibson, aided by Mr.. Quarles, Of
Wisconsin, made light of the charge
that lobby was maintained in Wash
ington to fight for the passage Of this
bill. Messrs. Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, and Warren, Of Wyoming, took
the other side of the question.
Mr.. Hansbrough mentioned by name
George H. Maxwell, who, ne said, was
drawing a princely salary for the work
he did.
Considerable progress was made with
the postOffice appropriation bill.
Amendments were agreed to providing
for the transfer of the free delivery
service from the Office of the fourth
assistant postmaster general to the
office of the first assistant postmaster
general, and eliminating the restric-
tons placed on first and second class

Dobson, n. c., Oct. 2S.-The cam
paign in Surry is progressing satisfac-
torily to the Democrats of this coun-
". The county chairman feels con-
fident of electing the entire Demo-
cratic ticket this year. Mr.. T. w.
Folger, our candidate for representa-
tive, is making a splendid canvass, and
has John II. Dobson on the defensive,
and at great disadvantage.
A story in the Mount Airy News
this week viii give an idea of ho~
affairs are run in Surry county under
Republican management 1t appears
from this statement that on the 2gth
OF last April, twenty-five men of
Shoals township, having failed to pay
their poll tax the money was placed
in the hands of r. c. Freeman, chair
man of the Democratic committee by
four citizens of Dobson, who knew
the twenty-five ware NJ good men and
who advanced the cash that Freeman
might pay the tax on that dav, Mon
day May 2nd, being too late. Fra
man hunted up Beamer, deputy
sheriff, told him the circumstances
and the money was about to exchange
hands when Register of Deeds Davis
Came into the room, saw what WAS
Going on and rushed out. A m.puta
later Feamer was called out of the
room by S. K. Harkrader. Beamer
did not return, and Freeman, unable
to find him rode five miles in the
night to find Deputy Sheriff Holyfeld,
who, however. was not to be discoY-
cred. Freeman then returned, found
Beamer at n late hour in bed and
offered him the money and Beamer
refused it, saying that he had been
advised not to accept the cash. What
do you think of such lodging methods
as this to disfranchise Democratic
voters"
AT Stony Knoll, in this county on
last Tuesday by Mr.. A. r. HoIton,

J. r. Lewellyn, of Dobson, met him;
in the joint discussion which followed
Mr.. LeeWellyn dealt some telling
blows which were evidently felt by
the willy District Attorney. National
issues were chiefly discussed, but lit
tie was said about r.. Pluribus Black
burn. 1t is believed in this county
that Mr.. Holton has Door opinion of
Blackburn, and is making speeches
chiefly for the love of his $4,000 job
as Mr.. LeeWellyn told him.
The prospects really seem bright in

: TOOK SIX GRAND PRIZES.
Mr.. Il. II. Bruner Talks OF NORTH
Cardinals Exhibit at Bic Fair.

Mr.. II. K. Bruner, who has been for
six months at st. Louis in charge or
special exhibits. speaks interestingly Of
the great fair and of North Carolina
exhibit.
While the State exhibit. on account
both of the lack of money available
and the short notice on which It was
prepared, is very small as compared
with the displays of the larger and
Weather states, it is says Mr.. Brun@r.
hiohly creditable and the care with
which it was selected is shown IN tn
fact that the State took six Grand
Prizes. twenty gold and twenty silver
medals.
North Carolinians at the fair who
see one portion of the States exhibits
do not realize what is really being
shown. The exhibits are as matter Of
fact, and necessarily, divided and dis
tributed among several different
buildings and departments. in some l.
stances a distance of mile apart.
Thus there are good displays in the
mining. the forrestries, the game AM
fish exhibits, in the special tobacco
and cotton exhibits, in the horticuI-
tural and in the general agriculture
buildings and departments Con5e-
quently, on account of the wide sepal-
alton of the State displays. one does
not realize at first blush the real mas
nitude OF the home exhibit at the fair.
SPEAKING of the fair itself, M.
Bruner said that the agricultural
building in which he had an OH &c
was as large as the area which Wouli
be included in a line beginning at
the corner of Edenton and Sail 5burv
streets running down Edenton to
Wilmington. down Wilmington to
Davie and West to Salisbury street.
The grounds themselves are consid-
erably larger than Raleigh ana an
average crowd of 100000 people DIFF
fused through the various buildings,
does not impress one in the least with
its numbers.
OF the financial side of the fair,
representing an outlay of over $40
600, 900 the net profits will be scarcely
more than sufficient, saws Mr.. Bruner,
