TWO EMINENT TEACHERS.
William Mining and Albert Rutner
Did Their Life Work In Salem.

To the Editor: / desire to place on
record the names of two eminent
teachers, who, in their times and gen.
Grafton, did heroic work for the cause
of educational advancement. These
two gentlemen rendered incalculable
services to the young men of this COM
munity along during the middle and
latter portion of the nineteenth cen
tury One-Prof. VIM. Mining, was
born in Salem, N. c., was educated in
Pennsylvania for the University, which.
however. because of delicate physi-
que, and a modest, unobtrusive dispo-
sition, he never entered. He became
a teacher and as health permitted,
enthusiastically pursued his profess
sion,---for many years in Salem Boys
School, and later in life, successfuliy
taught many young men, who were
seeking educational advancement.
Another Salem gentleman. Prof.
Albert Butner, having obtained good
collegiate education, and who seemed
endowed by nature for preaching, en-
tered with enthusiasm upon his life
work; also, taught in Salem Boys
School for a long period and until
recently, at his home in Forsyth
county Repeatedly. he was chosen
superintendent of Education for For
syth county, and was energetic and
efficient.
Prof. VIM. Mining lived to be more
than three score years, and when he
died was universally esteemed.
Prof. Albert Butner is now living .
quiet, retired life; has attained an age
Of four score and three years: enjoys
The mental and physical faculties
of many much younger, and is loved
and respected by all who are FORUM
ate to know him.

of the American exhibits, mining led,
in size, and of the foreign the Japanese
were far i'm the lead They occupied
one-half of the Oriental building. The
little Jap is at every turn dressed in
his American outfit. He leaves the
Oriental costume behind. This the
Chinaman does not do. But why run
OH in commonplaces about these ex-
hibits? Allow me to say in a general
way that the grounds are superb, the
buildings are a renaissance of the
Spanish type. the exhibits first class
and the prophecy a long and glorious
call. Once the Mediterranean was the
highway of commerce, then it passed
to the Atlantic, when it reaches the
Pacific this land will assume new
Importance. The Occident and the
Orient are meeting here and great are
to be the outcome of the next few
centuries. The Lewis and Clark Ex-
position marks a stadium of the

The troubles of this world are many
and varied, and some of them are
hard to be explained, as 1 learned
from a conversation 1 heard the other
day. A fellow about half-andhalf
came upon a store piazza where l was
sitting and thus accosted me:
Hello, Cap, you're a preacher, amt
your"
YES" answered.
81 thought So he said. II like
preachers, and / amt half as bad as
folks think am; but, say Cap. I'm in
trouble
1 told him I was sorry to hear it;
and that if he would tell me what his
troubles were, I might possibly offer
him some words of consolation.
You couldn't do it. Cap, If you are
a preacher. My troubles can't be con-
soled. My wife's sanctified and there
amt no more peace on earth for me.
L wish had died when I was fifteen
years old, and then I'd never had the
trouble I've got right now. Trouble is
what makes me git drunk and I'll
have trouble as long as my wife's sane
titled. Cap. what do you think of
sanctification
1 told him supposed that it was a
good thing, though didn't know very
much about it,
rs your wife sanctified, Cap?"
"I don't think she isl I answered.
'Tf she is" I continued, "she don't
say anything about it. She's woman
who don't brag much on her good
ness"
Cap, how'd you like to swap" he
asked in a busipess-like way.
Swap what?s enquired.
wives" he answered.
30" said. 81 don't reckon our
wives would like to be traded around
in such way
''I'll give boot. Cap; yes, Til give a
house and lot worth three hundred
dollars, and that If that won't satisfy
you I be (excuse me Cap;I didn't
intend to say bad word), yes If the
house and lot won't do, I'll give you
seventy acres of land to boot between
my wife and yours, If you will guar
antee that she will never get sanctified.
I know I amt a bad man, but can't
help getting drunk to drown my
trouble. and since my wife got sancti-
fled I've had more trouble than any
poor mortal can bear. 1t seems to me-"
What gives you so much trouble?"
I asked
my wife's sick all the time and
won't have any doctor, and she's mad
all the time, and as spiteful as hor-
net, and the madden she gets the more
she prayS at me. / tell you Cap, I
never was so tired of anything, as l
am of hearing her pray
What does she pray so much
about 2" I asked.
Cap, you are too hard for me now;
but / just wish you could hear her
one time
'I am sure I would enjoy IT, I said.
'tfor 1 love to hear praying"
Cap. let's trade She'd suit you
exactly; she'd suit a preacher burned
sight better'n she does me. I'm a good
man; / don't owe a red cent, and
never told lie in my life, but 4 can t
help from getting drunk when I hear
her going on about sanctificatfon. Cap
who started that thing anyhow"
"Why don't you try to get sancti-
hed?" asked by way of reply. Then

railroad project is backed by the
Huntington millions and not by the
Goulds, as has been generally suspect
ed by the public since that big railroad
undertaking began to take definite
shape. From the Golfers of Mrs. Col
lis p. Huntington, the late western
railroad magnate, is coming the bulk
of the money used to carry out the
plans of the new overland railroad be-
tween San Francisco and Salt Lake.
To her contributions are being added
funds mainly from her nephew, Henry
E. Huntington and his associates in
several gigantic schemes. Millionaire

TO TAKE EVIDENCE
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee to Sit During Vacation, Take
Testimony and Prepare Plan for
a Measure to Regulate Railways.

Washington. Feb. 24.-The senate
committee on interstate commerce to-
day agreed to report a resolution ask
ing that the committee be authorized
by the senate to sit during the recess
of congress to take testimony for the
purpose of preparing some measure for
regulation of railroad rates and report
at the next session.
Senator Dolliver introduced motion
in a former meeting that the commit
tee should continue the hearing and
report the bill to the present session,
but ascertained by inquiry that senti-
ment was almost wholly in favor of
sitting during the summer. Therefore
he did not press his motion. A reso-
luton by Newlands. creating a COM
mission to frame national incorpora-
ton act for railroads engaged in in
terstate commerce, was ordered re-
ferred to the interstate commerce
commission, with directions to report
on the plan outlined by resolution,
with such suggestions and modifica-
tions as it may deem advisable.

Mr.. Hine had collected a great mass

amusing and quaint answers.
How here said Mr.. Hine in the
course of his address. here is an an
swer containing a good deal of uncon
scous truth-an answer that seems to
me to hit the nail on the head.
THE question refers to a famous

SUES THE RECEIVER
A New Complication Growing Out o.
the New Liberty and Dixon Bank
FajIures-Receiver Luders Asked to
Make an Accounting.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Feb. 24.-Harry j. Nc
F'arland, trustee of the bank of Dixon
has brought suit in the United States
court for the southern district of Iowa
against the New Liberty Savings bank
and George Lueders, receiver. The Pc
tition was filed by Attorney b. M.
Sharon with Mr.. Mcfarland as deputy
clerk of the federal court.
The complainant asks that sub
poena be directed against Mr.. Lueders,
and Martin and Arnold Beuthien, pres
ident and cashier of the New Liberty
bank, commanding them to appear be-
fore the court and account for all the
notes, mortgages, bonds, collections,
evidences of indebtedness, property
and sums of money that were transfer
red between the Dixon and New Lib
erty banks A list of these items
amounting to $34,531.10 is set out in
the bill, but it is stated that there are
others unknown to the complainant.
The petition states that for a period
prior to Sept 80, 1904, the New Liberty
Savings bank had obtained possession
of certain property of the Bank of
Dixon and Martin and Arnold Beuthien
and that the New Liberty bank OBJ
tanned assignments of the property
from the Beuthiens and converted to
it's own use certain claims, notes, ETC.,
to the Bank of Dixon which had been
sent in the usual course of business by
the Dixon bank to the New Liberty
bank for collection and remittance.
1t is further alleged that the effect OF
this transfer of property was to prefer
the New Liberty bank as creditor of
Martin and Arnold Beuthien and allow
it to obtain a greater percentage of
debts than any other creditor of the
same class. This, the petition states, is
a fraud upon the rights of the deposit
tors in the bank of Dixon as a large
portion of the transferred property
consisted of securities representing
loans made with money deposited by
creditors represented by the complains
ant.
1t is claimed that Receiver Lueders
holds this property and refuses either
to account for it or deliver it to the
plaintiffs altho he has been asked to do
so.

Washington, Feb. 24.-After passing
a number of pensions bills the house
today sent the Panama canal bill, as
amended, to conference and began con-
sideration of the sundry civil appro-
priation bill.
Crumpacker of Indiana delivered
lengthy address in favor of the prop
osition to reduce representation in the
house of those states violating the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
of the constitution regarding disquali-
fication of voters: He said that while
the south would be affected more than
any other section of the country the
reduction would be felt as much in
the state of Massachusetts as in Mis-
sissippi. He pleaded for perfect equal
ity in citizenship and declared "the
door of hope" should be open to all
citizens without regard to color or
creed .-s
