MoNcEIoN.

! Der had assembled Ut Oakville school
house for the purpose ct enjoying
the closing exercises Of this school,
which has been successfully taught
by Miss Jessie Risinger.
The exercises began at about 1880
o'clock with an address OF welcome
and a number of speeches by the
'.Tiry Totters Following these
were several OF a grade higher, who
rendered their declsmssions in 8
pleasing manner, showing by their
appearance that such was their great
est erjoymens. We might also note
here to prevent monotony and. also
to make the exercises more pleasant
that between esch group Of speeches
was dialogue.
After the physical part was re-
freshed the audience reassembled.
Mr.. P. II. Craps then introduced
Prof 0 D. Seay. Mr.. Seay said:
Il; would be easier to tell what edu-
cation has not done than what it has
accomplished" BE emphasized the
fact that there is no one too poor to
obtain an education, and as proof of
this, gave some very striking exam
piles of those who had nothing when
they began, but finally succeeded in
obtaining their diplomas, and held
some of the most useful positions in
life Indeed, most of the greatest
men our country or even the world
has produced have come from poor
and humble homes. In short, the
professors address was very forcible,
practical and interesting, and all will
do we'll to heed his advice. With
this the program closed, as Rev.
Wessinger, who also was to make an
address, failed to get there.
Indeed it would be an injustice,
both to teacher and pupils to men
tion few speeches or dialogues and
not all, therefore, we shall not en-
phasize any special ones. Each sue
ceedlng series Of declamations ex-
hibited more enthusiasm in students
and greater judgment on the teach
er:s part, showing her ability to select
suitable literature for each. In short
all wee success, and both pupils
and instructor deserve the highest
praise for the manner in which each
acquitted him or herself.
Ihe exercises of the school closed
about 2 p. m. The good ladies of
the district and surrounding friends
showed their appreciation by spread
ing a sumptuous dinner to which all
were invited. Still after ali were
satisfied there was plenty left.
May all connected With this school
look back in years to come to this
day with pleasure and enjoyment.
Doubtless this days work is only an
index to the efficient work accom-
plished during the term. The Oak
vile trustees and patrons are to be
congratulated on obtaining the
labors of such an accomplished in
structor, and to show their appre-
citation for her services during this
term have employed her for the next
session. May the next term be still
more successful is the wish of
A Visitor.

that there was no reason why it could
not be delivered. He has retained Geo.

THUG TRUST FORMED
Z. FOR ILLEGAL VOTING

+. 81. . =. ~ %
III Cincinnati, O., Nov. 6.--An extraor-
binary development in the campaign in
Cincinnati came to light last night.
The most remarkable trust heard Of,
the Thug Trust, has been formed IT
seemed that men willing to act as re-
peaters, and do the direct bribing Of
voters are in great demand in Cincin-
natl, Louisville, Philadelphia and New
York. 81 f
Men arrived in Cincinnati Thursday
from the east, and sent word our
through the under world that good
political workers would be given free
transportation to New FORK and good
money upon arrival. Urgent calls have
also been received from Louisville and
Philadelphia. II
The result has been a sharp rise in
the price in accordance with the great
er demand Crooks with a large ac-
qtiaintarce in the under world are ask
ing and receiving from $Io to $25 a
day before election and are demanding
anywhere from $Ioo to $500 for their
services on election day.
The hot municipal fights this fall are
practically confined to the four ciries
named and crooks have practically de-
serted all other cities.
In Cincinnati there have been as
many as six highway robberies in a
day, showing how the crooks are erl-
ploying their leisure time. One man
was held up and robed OF 5000 near the
ST. Nicholas hotel on a principal thor
ougEfare at O'clock in the evening.

YOUNG WOMAN CHARGED
~ WITH OBSCENE LETTERS

( St. Louis, Mo, Nov. 6-The federal
grand jury which convened in st. Louis
today will take UP the case of Miss
Dixie Tuttle, the Audrian county young
woman whose arrest for sending OBJ
scene letters through the mails has at
tracted widespread attention. Miss Tut
tie, who is the respected daughter of
prominent farmer, was arrested in Sep
tenber on a charge OF sending "anoy-
nous, slanderous letters through the
mails The missives were said to at
tack venomously the characters of
many prominent people of the town and
county. Alter investigation had caused
suspicion against Miss Tuttle, a post
Office Inspector called at her home and
questioned her She vehemently de-
MED any part in the writing of the let
ters. The case was soon after placed in
the hands of United States District At
torney Dyer Of St. Louis. d The most
careful surveillance failed to locate the
sender of the letters. Mail boxes we're
watched without avail, and decoy let
ters produced no direct evidence.
Eventually, however, suspicion was
narrowed to a few young women, one
Of whom was Miss Tutt1e The post
master was called on to help, to the
extent Of selling these suspected young
women such stamps as were carefully,
but inconspictiously, marked with diff
ferent designs. Stamps bearing one Of
these marks were sold to Miss Tuttle,.
and when next complaint OF objection
able letters was made. the stamps were
examined 1t was declared that they
were the ones sold to Miss Tuttle. the
charge against her was made and the,
arrest followed. 3ss @ II II t35

MELONS FED ON MILK.

Marseilles, Nov. 6-Scientiic and
agricultural circles are highly interested
in discovery which a farmer near this
city claims to have made and the cor
rectness OF his statements will be thor
oughly tested at some Of the expert
mental stations OF the department OF
agriculture. According to the state
ment OF the farmer, who is responsible
for the new theory, water melons, free
ly supplied with milk poured around
their roots, will grow to twice their
normal size. The man first tried the
experiment several years ago and won
numerous prizes at agricultural exhibi-
tions with his fine water melons. The
process is said to not only increase the.
size Of the melons but to insure firm
red pulp and delicious flavor.

St. Petersburg, Nov. E - Sunday
happily passed in ST. Petersburg with

democrats and revolutionists had plan

nection with the funerals of those killed

to form gigantic procession represent

professions were to unite at the Kazan
cathedral, where the passions Of the
crowd might be fred by revolutionary
orators. s..~ WV
When it became known that General
Trepof would not permit big demon
stration Threatening disorder, and that
the mayor had issued a proclamation
saying that the streets were no place for;
the airing OF political grievances. the So
cialist leaders called off their plans, de-
claring that they feared this de1non-
stration of the people was marked for
slaughter, for which they were not pre-
pared at present. The people will give
battle when ready, not when Trepof
wants it, .zE as.. 81 i .ae-:,g. t>rss.f +

ticipate period of comparative quiet,
and speak of the great strike simply as

TO make concessions. IA 8
I'VE haven't any intention of end
ing the fight now, said one of them to-
day. but will organize and arm the peo-
pie for the. final struggle. We expect
nothing from bureaucracy and only by
a popular uprising can we achieve our
aim, which is a constituent assembly" {
( While the news received from the
provinces indicates that something like
normal conditions are being restored in
many regions, the SITUATION continues
grave in the Baltic provinces, the Can-
&casus, Odessa and other places in the
south, where the outrages generally have
taken an anti- Jewish nature. n s 4
Thomas E. Heenan, American consul
at Odessa, has sent telegram to the
American embassy saying that since
Tuesday the bloody attacks upon the
Jews have continued, and that he es-
Inmates the number killed in thousands.
Artillery, he says, has been employed to
suppress the rioting and that the Jews
have fired from windows upon the
troops iii the streets. fortunately, he
adds thus far American interests are
unaffected. Fl 8s
Fatal encounters between soldiers and
populace and anti-Jewish excesses are
reported from many places in the Prov
inces Yesterday and today at Kren1en-
chug, twenty persons were killed and
eighty injured. AT Kutais, a military
train was wrecked and nine soldiers
were killed. After the collision the
revolutionaries opened FIRE on the train
and the troops replied. There were
several killed or injured on both sides.
AT Berdichef several persons were
killed or injured and at Minsk serious
rioting arose through the troops prevent
ing meeting Of citizens The troops
fired volleys into the crowds, and there
was intermittent firing for a long time.
One hundred and sixty killed and Goo
wounded. Indescribable horrors are be-
ing witnessed every day.

ARE AFTER NIAGARA FALL S.

Niagara Falls, N. u, Nov, GA
party OF engineers under the direction
Of N. Lafamme, a distinguished Cana
dian geologist, is making a survey and
inspection Of the Horseshoe Falls on
behalf Of the dominion government and
the Canadian members of the Interna-
tional Waterways commission. The.
obJect OF the investigation and survey
is said to be, to determine how tile wa
ter Of the upper river can be diverted
toward the Canadian channel without
causing friction with the United States
government. There is question as To
where the boundary line between the
two countries mounts the Horseshoe.
The Canadians are inclined TO believe
that. instead of being at the. middle
OF the Horseshoe it is at a point of
rock not far out from Great Island.
