For Good.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 16.-
Booker T. Washington has made his
FIRST public statement relative to the
effect the election of Roosevelt would
have on the negroes of the south and
On the negro question. He said, in
part:
mot a few have predicted that on
account of the result of the recent
election many members of our race
would lose their heads. With all
earnestness want to urge our peo-
pie in every part of the country to
disappoint those who have made such
predictions by leading an increased
life of usefulness. soberness and sim
plicity. remembering that in the long
run il is to the certain and funda-
mental ideas of growth in property,
intelligence and high Christian char
acter together with the cultivation

AS a result of a meeting of the
board of directors of the Y. NJ. C. A..
last night, the association building
will be closed, and while the corpora
ton will not be dissolved. IT is appar-
ent from the inclination of the people
who have been supporting the asso-
citation. that it will never be started
again until the town grows enough to
insure its operation without a risk
of running it into debt again.
Secretary Duncan presented his
resignation last night which was ac-
cepted, and then the board decided on
stopping the operation of the institu-
ton. The affairs of the association
were turned over to Attorney ]. X.
Grogan, president of the association
board, for settlement, but he has not
made out a schedule of the liabili-
ties yet.
Secretary Duncan stated this morn
ing relative to the suspension of the
association: 1.-The action of the board
last night was the result of bad man
agement as far as | can see. The as
ISOLATION has never been run right by
the board and not enough interest
was taken in the work to keep inter-
est among the members going.
The debts of the association will
amount to something over $1,000,
and think the association could pay
off all debts and run another year
on a subscription of $4,000. but it is
said this can not possibly be raised.

affairs. but from the outset believed
that this would be the inevitable re-
suit"

sition he was placed in. The associa.

To Save Children From a Pack of
Wolves.

Phoenix. Ariz., Nov. 16.-Raven-
Gus wolves attacked the three child
rem of C. V. Webb. between Cotton
wood, Wash and Pima, and only the
sacrifice of a noble and courageous
hunting dog saved their lives.
When within two miles of Pima
the young people caught sight of the
pursuing pack. Maddened by hung
err, the fierce creatures closed upon
the children. The leader of the pack
and great gray wolf behind him
were attacked by the dog which fol
lowed the buggy in which the Webb
children were driving. Touched with
gratitude, the 14-year-old Webb boy
the eldest of the three, sprang from
his buggy and tried 10 beat OFF the
wolves with his whip stock. One of
the wolves sprang for his throat, but
the dog caught the throat of the wolf.
When Webb regained the buggy the
dog was killed. and while the wolves
gnarled over its carcass the children
escaped to the settlement.

A Big Reward.

Miller, s. d., Nov. 16.-The coun-
~ commissioners offer a reward of
$4,000 for the conviction of the muir
derers of George Todd and Jacob
johnson. The governor will be asked
to offer $1,000. and the county in
which the crime was committed will
be requested to add $1,000 more.

soon result in the discovery of the
murderers.
The officers on November 3rd
found the dead body of G. NJ. Todd. a
farmer, buried on his farm fifteen
miles north of here. His head had
been crushed in and two bullets were
found in his breast. He had appar-
emily been dead about three weeks.
Last June Jacob Johnson. who liv-
ed near Todd's farm, disappeared and
it is believed he also was murdered.
