SHOOTING A MYSTERY.
Mrs. Edith Darby Fatally Wounded
at Hockinu. Iowa.

Mrs. Edith Darby Fatally Wounded
at Hooking, Iowa.
Hooking, May 10.-Mrs. Edith Dar-
by. the young wife Of William Darby,
OF this place. was shot in the head
by some unknown person between
twelve and one o'clock Sunday
night, and most likely fatally wound
ed. She has not regained conscious
ness.
.rh,. shot came from outside the
house. and many believe the shooting
to have been the result Of the careless
discharge Of revolver There are
others who believe that the shots
were fired into the home to brighten
or possibly injure Mr.. Darby. Who
ever fired the shots could have had
nc means OF knowing where to shoot,
for the occupants of the home had re-
tired and the room was quite dark. It
is not known at what distance the
shots were fired, but some believe it
to have been at some distance.
Two shots were fired. One ball
went thru the window and another
went thru the easement and buried
itself in the wall across the room, from
where it was later removed.
Certainly no one could wish to harm
either Mr.. or Mrs. Darby. for they
ere both very popular young people.

the members of the council, in fact his
proposition was not in such shape that
it could be acted on by the council or
be voted on by the voters Of the city.
Concisely stated, Mr. Williams prop
osition was to assume the obligations
of the plant, the $4,000 outstanding
bonds for the plant. He proposed to
put in new machinery, meter the whole
town, furnish light free to the city
offices and some other minor things,
but his offer did not meet with the
approval of the members.

The city council of this place is fat
ing an interesting situation at present.
Some weeks ago E. q. Nichols resign
ed as alderman from the Second ward.
The remaining members of the coun-
Gil at the last meeting took forty-six
ballots without choosing a successor.
The highest number of votes received
by any name proposed was four, while
it takes five to elect. Votes during the
bolloting were cast for L. j. Smith,
Bradley McCord, Frank Myatt John
Sandman, Les Paup, e. e. Nichols,
and yet others. The real fight is over
the question of sewerage, and once a
mans views are known on that ques-
ton the individual members of the
council line up for or against the
candidate. The favorite candidate Of
those wishing sewerage is Bradley
McCord and of those opposed is Lew

The town of Moravia is in ferment
all because at a recent election a ma
jority of the electors voted to build
a new school house and total tax Of
$4,000 will We levied on the property
in the. municipality. 1t is said the
heaviest taxpayers are at fever heat
and are mad to the core. The funny
part of it is that Monroe county is to
have some of the financial benefits
if the mulct petition passes mustar.
Those who are opposed to the tax, it
is reported, are proposing to estab-
lish saloon over in Monroe county,
about one-half mile from the public
square in Moravia on ground in the
corporation, and an eligible site on a
main wagon road. less than an acre
was sold for $3.50 to keep the doggery
away from the adjoining farm. The
ground was sold for less than half the
amount short time ago. The saloon
keeper would pay the mulct tax, it is
supposed and Monroe county would
thus have money added to its treas
uhy.

for both himself Iand the president,
and has been emboldened to say
things that he Would not otherwise
nave dared TO say.
Booker Washington may have in
tended this for smartness. But it was
an insult to the southern people. and
the inference to be drawn from the
story is not true The negroes that
remain on the plantations are self
sustaining, and many of them are
making money Nine-tenths of the
negroes that go to cities are not self
sustaining, and the white people are
supporting them, some unconsciously,
others consciously, but unwillingly
and helplessly. This is due to the
demand for cooks and the difficulty of
getting them, and when secured, espe-
cially when they are good cooks, they
are allowed a free hand in the pantry
and dining room, with the result that
hundreds and thousands of ''educat-
ed" negroes are living by the sweat not
OF their own brows, but by the sweat
of the brows of the cooks and the
forced charity of the community.

LATEST BREAK OF
BOOKER WASHINGTON.
Montgomery journal.
!. x !. Z Z K x Z < < K K

Booker Washington is said to have
delivered an address before Rockefel'
ler's Sunday school class in New York
Sunday in which he related a very
thrilling story Referring to a con.
vention recently held in the South, an
ex-slave went up to the presiding Off
Ger ano asked what it was all about.
Why" said Colonel Jones, 1--WE are
holding this convention TO get more
white people to come south.
Gracious said the negro. ''But
you know we have as many white
people down here as we can possibly
support.
Booker Washington is growing bold
err and holder in his defiance of public
sentiment in the South. He is grow
ing holder in expression of ridicule
of the whites of this section and no
longer attempts to conceal his real
purposes in educating the negro and
taking him from the field and from
industrial pursuits and making him
an idler in the cities of the country.
Booker Washington has always been
frank enough to say that when the
negro gets an education" he doesn't
return to the field, but goes to the
cities, where, he says, there is a de-
mand for educated nurses and educat-
ed preachers AND educated negroes in
professional life. We down south
know what that means. Booker Wash
ington, as the political adviser of the
president in southern appointments,
has achieved an unenviable reputation
