Over Six Hundred Girls Already
Enrolled.

The opening of the Industrial
Institute and College which took

spective places of worship.
The exercises were very ap-
propriate and interesting and the

HELD AS MERCHANDISE.
Paper Samples viii Not be Second Class
Matter After Sept. lst.

The post Office department. has
advised postmasters that period
icals mailed at the second class
rates are being made the vehi-
Gle or cover for the transmission
of samples Of paper (merchan-
dise) to the detriment Of the
postal revenue from matter of
the fourth class.
This is accomplished by print
ing advertisements upon sheets
of the paper to which'the adver-
tisements relate and attaching
them as adver Using pages to the
periodicals. The effect of this
is that actual, tangible exhibits
of stocks, such as waxed papers,
oiled papers, glazed papers, It's
sue papers, writing papers, cover
papers, wall papers, wrapping
papers, ETC., are passing In the
mails at the rates providing by
law for matter Of the second
class only.
This is an abuse Of the second
class mailing privilege, the de-
partment says, and Will not be
permitted. On and after Sep
TENDER / next all publications
containing such exhibits of pa
per will be charged with the
fourth class rate, regardless of
the fact that such specimens or
exhibits purport to be, and are
inserted as, advertisements
When, after September /, it
can be determined from the adj
vertisement, or the advertise
ment and the paper taken to-
gether, that it is printed upon
the stock advertised to the end
that the texture, finish, tensible
strength, ETC., may be examined,
ut will be held to be merchan-
disc and subject to the fourth
class rate, as regardless of the
Language of the advertisement.
Postmasters are cautioned not
to mis- apply this rule in cases
where papers of different color
or grade are used for the sole
purpose of improving the APP
pearance of advertisements.

PERCY J. LUSTER
The Guthrie Murderer a Physical
Wreck May Not Live for
Trial.
REoulyTIoN HAS BEEN ISSUED.

Ogden, Utah, Aug. 14.-Percy
j. Luster, who will be returned
to Kentucky to answer for the
murder of his wife at Guthrie,
is a physical wreck, and it is
doubtful if he will live to be
tried. He is failing rapidly,
though his brain seems clearer
and he is partaking of food.
Luster's confession seems to
have cleared his conscience,
though he is still under a fear
full nervous strain. Since he
committed his crime he has lost
twenty five pounds. He has ask
ed for a spiritual adviser and it
is believed he will make a de-
tailed confession.
SO far it has been impossible
to get him to give any motive
for his crime. He merely says
that he shot his wife.
When arrested Luster was
writing in a hotel. The police
had been told by the woman of
the half world, who betrayed
Luster to them, that he had said
he would kill anyone who tried
to arrest him.
They were very cautious, and
while two of them seized Luster
before he knew what was com
ing, a third disarmed him, find
ing the pistol with which he
killed his wife cooked for use IN
his coat pocket.
The police here knew nothing
of the crime until it was tipped
off to them by the woman, and
if Luster had not talked about il
he could probably have hidden
here for an indefinite time.
The local police are anxious ia
have the Kentucky officers come
for the prisoner as they fear he
will collapse.
Gov. Beckham has issued a
requisition on the Governor OF
Utah for z. j. Luster, under ar.
rest at Odgea and wanted in
Guthrie for the murder of his
wife.

MORE WHITE THAN NEGRO
CHILDREN IN THE SOUTH.
Census Shows This Condition for First
Time in Country's History.

A study in the proportion Of
children has just been published
by the Bureau of Census at
Washington. Among other in
teresting features contained in
the volume is comparison of
HI increase and decrease,
through the past decades, of the
proportions Of both white and
colored children to women Of the
two races between the~ ages of
Is and 40 years.
Though the negroes have a
larger proportion of children
than the whites, it has been
noticed that the whites of the
South have a larger proportion
than the whites in other sections
of the country. 1t therefore is
interesting to compare the two
races in those states to which the
negroes are mostly confined.
SAT the two census preceding
the Civil War, the proportion of
children for the. two races at the
South was substantially the
same. The Immediate effect Of
the Civil War and Reconstruc.
ton; if the figures of 1870 may
be trusted to the extent, was to
reduce the proportion of child
rem among southern whites by
about one. eighth, and among
negroes by one twenty-fifth. The
following decade saw an increase
in the proportion for each race,
but as the decrease among the
negroes, 1860 to 1870, has been
less, so was the increase, 1870 to
1880, greater. But between 1880
and 1900 there was a decrease of
100 in the number of negro
children at the South to 1000
negro women, and decrease of
only 20 white children to LOCO
white women. AS a result, in
1900 there were for the first
time more white children than
negro children in the South to
1000 women

SPEED UNIVERSITY
viii be Located Somewhere in

A Point Hallway Between Darlington

A half million dollars has been
donated for the purpose of build
3 ing university to be known as
/ the Speed university of Kentuc-
ky. 100000 of this money was
left by the late Mrs. Speed, of
Louisville. The university will
be the property of the Northern
Methodist church and is to be
located somewhere in Western
Kentucky. Fifty acres of ground
will be needed for the site. A
splendid location would be
point halfway between Madison
vile and Darlington and both of
these thriving towns would be
equally benefited. 1t would be
a good idea for the business men
of the two places named to get
their heads together and make a
strong pull for this site. The
necessary ground could likely be
secured with the proper man
agement.
