Father Kills Neuro,

Paducah, KY, Oct. 9.-Ben Jones, a
young negro, was shot to death near
Vicksburg, Livingston county, by John
Scott, a farmer of that section. Jones
brutally assaulted a young daughter of
Scott's, and was chased down by the
father and killed. Scott is not likely
to be molested, as the sympathy Of
the people is with him. In the past
two months two other negroes were
lynched in Livingston county for as
saulting women. II is declared that
an Illicit distillery in the locality was
the principal cause of the crimes.

The wisdom of employing two
thoroughly competent institute in
structors was exemplihed here institute

on morals. The tendency of the whole
was to uplift and dignity the teaching
profession.
Miss Avis Wescott, of Minneapolis,
a primary specialist, did a work which
captured every attentive teacher and
every anxious parent who heard it. She
puts sunlight and gentleness into
teaching that makes the early school
lite a fairy story of pleasure-some-
thing that will lead by pleasant paths
the child into the beautiful realms of
knowledge, educating heart and hand
and preparing for perfect living while
growing to hale, substantial manhood
and womanhood
An excellent attention characterized
the meetings and a growing interest
manifested itself from day to-day.
Trustees and Patrons day was we'll
attended. Stirring addresses were made
by teachers, lawyers and by those who
occupy the pulpit. TrnsteesIsnd private
citizens spoke and all were aroused.
The universal sentiment was for
better schools and a full attendance, en-
forcing the law il necessary to secure
it. The law will be enforced.
Prof. H. H. Cherry, of Bowling
Green, gave a rousing address on the
educational conditions and the awaken
ing in Kentucky.
Prof. Peake, of Kingswood, in song
and recitation, entertained the teachers
and was warmly welcomed, as we're the
other Kingswood people who had time
to come in for part of the week.
Supt NJ. o. Winfrey, of Middlesboro,
was present and addressed the people on
Thursday night, after which a banquet
was given by the young men of the
institute
Resolutions OF sympathy were passed,
the universal feeling of
sorrow at the death of Master Elliott,
the sor of Prof. Andrew Driskell, one
of the leading members of the instI-
tute.
Resolutions were passed endor ing
the forward movement for better educa-
tionsl things and calling for some
changes in the school syste u.
The teachers presented Supt Pile
with an elegant watch fob, Prof. Joe
Trent in an eloquent presentation
speech rendering it at the closing
moments of the meeting.
Upon motion of Prof. Jno. P. King |
there was unanimous vote calling for
the return of DR.. Willis and Miss Wes-
colt.
There were los teachers in attendance,
each of whom is capable of doing better
work this week.

EHort beln9 Made TO Get Immigrants

a Louisville Woolen MiIl-Removal
Of Hinehman to Be Probed.
Washington, Oct. S.-How to divert
the steady stream of immigrants to-
ward the south, and more especially
toward Kentucky, was the problem
discussed with officials of the bureau
OF immigration by r. NJ. Hughes, sec
retary of the Business Mems club of
Louisville. AS in other states, labor
shortage has been experienced in the
Blue Grass region, particularly in the
agricultural districts, and not long ago
the legislature appropriated $4,000 to
be expended in an effort to encourage
a desirable class of immigrants to To-
cate in the commonwealth. Mr.
Hughes found that it will be difficult
for him to get the aid of the depart
ment in furnishing a supply of aliens
for his state. The department indorses
all proposed plans looking to a restric-
tion OF immigration, and although
willing enough to divert foreigners to
territory which stands in need of their
Services, has but little machinery at
its disposal to serve that purpose.

wonder that the recent bulletin issued
from the census bureau in Washington
shows that city to be the most extra.
VACANT city by double, than that of any
other in the United States.
1t will be recalled that few years
ago, when Nicollet county was in the
second district, Mr.. McCleary was re-
quested by those who were interested
to try to secure an appropriation for the
construction of a dyke on the North
Mankato side of the river to protect the
residents of that village from high wa
ter. A comparatively small sum would
have been required for that improvement
Mr.. McCleary could not see his way
clear to move for this appropriation,
which would have been of great benefit
to a number of his constituents, but he
has found plenty of time to devote to
the internal affairs of the city of Wash
ington, and also to the River Potomac
Is it any wonder that the people of
the second district are anxious to have
for their representative one who will
look after their interests and devote his
time to their wants and not so much to
the desires of the residents of the capitol
city?

ut is no surprise to me to find Muir

The only reason for my taking an ac-
tive part in politics this year is to carry
on the fight of last year, which was a
fight to free the people and party from
the domination of just such political
panhandlers.
"'Birds of feather flock together.
when a person intellectually sterile,
socially vulgar and morally outside,' in
suits the decent people of the state IL
respective of party, by seeking the
nomination of a political party by add
vancing doctrines and not ideas, by
methods akin to those of the black
mailer, no thinking man could doubt
where Murphy could be found.

if 1 found men of this type supporting
me, except under absolute compulsion."
Mr.. Jerome is a candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor
and Murphy doesn't want him given
the honor.

\ LARGER YIELD OF GRAIN.
Crop Report Given Out BY A. c.
Johnson of Northwestern.

Winona, Aug General Agent A.
C. Johnson, crop expert, has Just re-
turned from trip over the territory
west of here and reports harvesting prac-
tically completed and threshing well I'M
der way. He says there will be Il larger
yield than last year of all grain, and the
quality is better with the exception of
barley. His report says:
''1he weather for some time has been
excellent for harvesting 1t has now been
ten days since there has been any rain
in South Dakota and the harvesting is
practically complete. In Southern Min
nesota there has been one heavy rain,
but the harvest is now complete in this
section.
1T is true that there has been dam
age to barley from pervious rains. How
ever, the samples show good weight, and
the reports from threshing returns show
good yields, but the grain is off in color
believe that in quality the crop will
class with the crop of last year, but
with slightly better yield There is
also an increased acreage.
"The threshing returns to date are too
few from which to form definite con
illusions, but every indication is for an
increase in yield and in quality of wheat,
oats, rye and all small grains, with the
exception OF the quality of barley. Flax
and corn are now much above the aver
age in acreage and the outlook for the
yield is very promising at the present
time.
"From all the information obtainable !
at present, with the harvest complete eN-
cept as to flax and corn, and with some
threshing reports from nearly every sec
ton, there is reason to believe there will
be an increased grain tonnage for the !
entire territory OF p per cent, and with
the quality much better than the aver
age"
Locally the farmers have their harvest
practically completed, anl say that in
two weeks more the threshing viii be |
well out OF the way. The present warm
weather is bringing the corn along in
