serenades Grave of Young Wife.


Sounds of music coming from the
cemetery in the middle of the night
have terrified the inhabitants of the
Swiss village of Bregenz, near the Aus
trian frontier, for some days past. Two
gendarmes hid themselves Friday night
behind a tombstone in order to investi-
gate. They saw a young tradesman
named Wolf climb over the cemetery
wall, pull a violin from under his coat,
and standing over newly made grave,
begin to play the Bohemian Girl. }"
They listened to the end, and then went
up to the man, who said he had been play
ing over the tomb of his bride, who had
died the week before. at was the
piece she liked best" he said to the
gendarmes, who led him away for in
quiry az his sanity.

The Grange Is Booming.

The oranges are booming on all sides.
Large classes of candidates are being
initiated. Exercises are being made
attractive. Business and pleasure are
combined in the meeting. The Patrons
have the consciousness of belonging to
an order that commands the respectful
attention of the nation. They begin to
understand the immense power that
could be exerted by farmer organiza-
ton that, embracing the majority of
the farm population and rising above
all mere sectionalism and partisanship,
would demand of the national and
state governments the same rights and
privileges for the soil tillers that are
given without question to other citizens.

schools of Agriculture.

At a meeting of the st. Lawrence
county Pomona grange at Norwood, N.
Y, educational matters were discussed.
The prominent thought of the meeting
was that the state should in some way
provide means to establish schools or
departments in schools in the several
counties of the state where agriculture
might be taught and its principles
studied in a practical way. The sys-
TEN in Wisconsin was referred to as
bringing this instruction closer to the
people than it is when given at the ag-
ricultural colleges. The matter will
be referred by formal resolutions to
the state grange at its next meeting.

An Innovation That Is Likely to he
come Permanent Institution.
The grange fair is an institution of
comparatively recent date. We refer
to agricultural shows, like county fairs,
which are Under the management of
Patrons of Husbandry and whose ex-
hibitors are most, if not altogether,
members of the Order The number
of these fairs held the past fall is as
tonishing. And the interest displayed
by the Patrons is quite remarkable
The fact that these fairs are run by
farmers for farmers Is one secret of
their success. They are agricultural
exhibitions pure and simple; the horse
trot is eliminated. They are contest
ing the honors with many staid old
county agricultural society because
they are pleasing the farmers, and, in
turn, the farmers are patronizing them.
Here is hint to the county agriculture
al societies that give large place to
horse racing and fakirs. incidentally
this is good evidence of what the
grange can do and is doing for the
agricultural interests of the town or
county. 1t is promoting those inter
ests in most practical and commend
able way when it seeks to introduce
the spirit Of wholesome rivalry in ex-
hibitlng the products of the farm and
the handiwork of the household
Rather more pretentious than others
are the grangers of Armstrong county.
Pa who are moving to have n genuine
agricultural county fair held strictly
under their auspices. There are about
$500 members of the different oranges
and it is proposed to issue 500 shares
of stock at 500 per share, to be sold to
members only, no one to have more
than one share. A tract of 100 acres
has been optioned.

Ryan Pacific express messenger on the
Wabash train due here early in the
morning and Ed Greene former ex-
press messenger both of Chicago fought
duel with revolvers in Ryan's car on
the way from Bemont to Decatur dis

Greene say that he boarded the ex-

He and Ryan were old friends. Ryan

assisted the latter in working up the
express matter. They began drinking.
Jokes led to quarrel and Greene
says both drew guns at the same time.
Ryan asserts that he did not see
Greene in the car until the train
reached Cerro Condo and he believed
that Greene jumped in for the purpose
of robbery. They quarreled, according
to Ryan's story ,clinched and both with
revolvers drawn rolled about on the
floor. The men then separated and
each sought shelter in different ends of
the car. Both fired and both went
down, but were on their feet in a short
time and the duel continued. Just be-
fore the train reached Decatur, Greene
opened the door and jumped from the
car. He was unable to escape and was
found an hour later by the police.
Greene has an ugly bullet wound in
the brest and another in the right lung
while third bullet lodged in,the fleshy
part of the abdomen. Ryan was shot
in the left jaw, behind the left ear and
in the left shoulder. None of the train
men was aware of the duel that was
being waged in the express car until
the rain arrived at Decatur and Ryan
was seen through the open door lying
in a pool of blood on the car floor.
