Washington, May 22.-President
Roosevelt will start on his southern

mond, Va, and make speech there.
which will be the first of a series of
important addresses to the south. He
will then swing to the southwark. He
expects to visit Raleigh, NJ. G.; from
there he will go to Jacksonville or
Tallahassee, Fla. The next stop of i'm
portance will be at Atlanta, Ga. From
there he will go into Alabama. He
will stop at three places in that state.
Birmingham Mobile and Tuskegee. A
the latter place he will be the guest OF
the colored institute presided over by
Booker T. Washington. The next stop
will be at New Orleans, La, and from
there the president will go direct
Little Rock, reaching there, it is now
believed, on the morning of Thursday,
October II. He has received an invita-
ton from the chamber of commerce of
that city and expects to be its guest
while there.
The return trip will be by the most
direct route. The president wishes tc
be back in Washington October 16, the
day when he expects congress to meet
in extra session. Fearing there will
be demand from cities like Cleveland,
St. Louis and Cincinnati to stop en-
route and thus delay his return beyond
the day for congress to meet, the pres
ident has thus early firmly decided
that he will make no stops between
Little Rock and this city.

the town of Mineral Wells was partly
blown away. One church building be-
longing to the African Methodist Epis-

Attempts to storm His House Are
Met by Negro With Shower Of
Deadly Shot.

Owensboro, KY, May %. Bob Shaw,
negro, has killed one man and wound
ed seven in the past twenty-four hours

appeal was sent to this city for help.
A posse was at once formed, but as
soon as they appeared the negro opened
fire on them.

Jackson in the back. DR.. G. H. Pitt, a
boy named Howard and boy named
Pelly were also wounded.
A posse headed by Sheriff Kelly went
from Lewisport to Waitnan this morn
ing and found Shaw sitting on his front
porch. Shaw quickly barricaded HIM
self in his house. The posse tried to
storm the house. but the negro opened
fire, wounding James Ford and John
Robinson. He apparently had only
small shot, which saved the lives of
those he shot. Shaw was shot at twice.
He had two revolyers, but announced
that he would save them for work at
close quarters.
At 3 O'Clock this afternoon Will G.
Brown, deputy sheriff OF Hancock
county, volunteered to go to the house
and take Shaw. When within ff-
teen feet of Shaw the negro fired,
blowing Browns head off completely.
About 6 O'Clock tonight mob Of
men and boys surrounded his house and
set it on fire. Shaw remained in the
burning building as long as he could
stand the heat, and finally leaped out
and tried to escape. Nearly 100 shots
were fired and Shaw's body was rid

Christine, picturing in his mind her
graceful and charming figure. But
there beside her was her mother, and
in all likelihood, in after years, when
his eyes must constantly dwell on her,
she would be like her mother
And her mother was the latest
woman he had ever seen.

"She was the most beautiful woman

"But saw Mrs. Hartover a week
ago and she is"
"Christine's stepmother. What's
up?"
The poet had seized his hat. In a
moment all his doubts had been dis
sipated. He trod on air. He must go
to Christine at once, throw himself at
her feet and pour out his love.
But the deep voice of Felix came
again from behind his easel:
Christine came for my congratula-
tions. She is just engaged to young

RABBITS RACE WITH TRAIN
Minnesotan Teaches Charges to Out
run Locomotives-To Take
Up Auto Next.

Crookston, Maintaining jack
rabbits to race against a train is the
latest fad of Norwood Davies, man
aging editor of the Crookston Times.
While on train last summer he saw
large jack rabbit running even with
the train and the idea of training
jacks for racing purposes first pre-
sented itself. Since then he has been
gathering likely specimens and has
been devoting much of his time to
training them.
He now has two jack rabbits trained
so they obey his commands fairly well,
and every nice day when he has time
he takes them out and races them
against incoming trains An assist
ant stationed at the end of the course
bags the rabbits. The speed of these
animals is remarkable. So far it has
been impossible to accurately time
them, but it is claimed that they can
negotiate mile minute.
AS the train approaches the animals
become restless and nervous and
prance about much like running horses
at the start of a race.
Up to the present time the rabbits
have only been trained to run when
a train is approaching, but Mr.. Davies
anticipates racing the jacks against
horses, bicycles and motor cars.

HOW coouELlNs WIT WON

One of the most famous of the Quar-

which is called THE Sub Rosa" and
the most famous OF it's members is the
great actor Coquelin, pere, but the

He was present one night at the
clubs late supper, weekly feast, and
having heard that there was a va
cancy in the roll, applied for member
ship. Now the only rules of the Sub
Rosa" men are: Think much; write
little. Be as silent as you can" The
presiding officer, with this last rule in
mind, answered the applicant by plac-
ing before him tumbler filled so full
Of water that another drop would have
caused it to run over. Coquelin UNI
derstood. He had evidently been mis-
informed about a vacancy, the club
membership was obviously full.
Over the table was suspended a rose,
the club emblem. While the glass
still stood before I'm Coquelin broke
a petal from the flower, and laid it so
gently on the water that not single
drop escaped. A silent man could join
and make no trouble.
Around the table ran ripple Of
smiles and little handclaps and mods
of approval, and then, as if of one ac-
cord, all began making bread-balls.
Then cup was passed from hand to
hand. and each deposited his ballot"
in it-and all were found to be round;
not one had been pressed fiat in sign
of disapproval. So CoQuelin Joined the
Sub Rosa club.

City, Va, were fired upon by persons
in the Jeter Female Institute at that

When they appeared on the campus
and started their merrymaking, they

were in the hands of members of the
faculty. The. boys returned the fire,
but did no damage. Both institutions
are outside the corporate limits and the

doubt that Mayor Samuel McCue, the

a New York man travelling in Canada
saw a band of immigrants on their
way to Oklahoma and that McCue. dis
guised,- was among them.
The latest development in the~case
came in a telegram from Oklahoma

never did ascend the scaffold at Char
lottesville, but a dummy was shot
through the drop instead. Sheriff Rog-
