former French ambassador at the vat

telli, acting for the vatican, TO tender
their designations by return of mail
The bishops, 1t is added, consulted the
minister of publish worship asf IRE
mier Combes, who directed them noe

ground that the concordat required the
assent of the state before removals
were enforced. Thereafter, the papal

days This also was submitted to NJ.

Nathan Brewer Hanged at Paragould.

Nathan Brewer Hanged at Paragouid.
Nathan Brewer was hanged az Par
agould on the 9th inst from the same
scaffold Mart Vowel was hanged four
weeks before. Brewer died without
a show of weakness. Brewer was
hanged for the assassination of Bud
Dortch in Clay county, just across the
line of Greene county about one year
and from it, were made by one man,
fensive, who lived alone on his farm,
and was not known TO have had an
enemy in the world. A few days
after he had sold some cattle his body
was found near his home, riddled with
buckshot, and all the evidence before
the coroner's jury indicated that the
motive for the murder was robbery.
Suspicion pointed TO Brewer as the
guilty party, and he was placed under
arrest. Believing that the evidence
against him was conclusive and, fear
ing violence from his victims friends,
Brewer made a false confession that
led eventually TO his conviction and
execution. The assassin alleged that
he had been held up by two strangers
and under threats of death, was com
PEELED to shoot Dortch. He alleged
the men were strangers, gave a de-
scription of them, but could furnish
no names. In the meantime officers
made a thorough examination of the
scene of the tragedy, and discovered
that a brush blind had been built
against the fence within a few rods
of where Dortch's body was found in
side of which the assassin concealed
himself while awaiting the coming
of his victim. Within this booth
were found footprints, and the blind
was worn slick by much use All the
tracks in the blind, and leading TO

a gould on change Of venue and con.
victed. His case was appealed to the
supreme court, but the judgment Of
the lower court was affirmed and
Gov. Davis declined to commute his
sentence. On the evening before his
execution Brewer made a second con-
fession, differing entirely from his
first story Of the crime, In this sec
ond confession Brewer stated that he
alone did the killing, but that he did
not kill Dortch for his money and
that he never touched Dortch's body
nor went near his house after the
shooting He said the sole reason he
killed Dortch was that the old man
had made insulting remarks about
his wife. Brewer was about 80 years
Of age, and up to the time he was first
suspected bore a good reputation. His
wife is highly respected and a mem
ber of one Of the best families in Clay
county.

ing both to the examiners and TO this
Office If we are compelled to return

errors in addition.
please see that the enrolment and
daily attendance of every district are
reported. In case the directors fail
to make a report of these items, and
you have reason to believe that a
school was taught in the district, you
should insist upon a full report JUS
tice TO your county demands that the
educational interests should be fully
and properly reported. State and To-
cal pride and a proper interest in our
work should incite us to earnest eff
forts TO secure complete reports.
I'VE hope to be able to state in the
next biennial report that the reports
of all the county examiners were com
plete and correct. AS you know, the
law requires your report to be in this
