fair and Was Hurt.

East Grand Forks, Mimi. Sept. IL.
While throngs Of people passed and
at least 100 were within a block, All
Youngs Of Grand Rapids, Mich, was
shot in both arms between the elbow
and shoulder shortly after O'clock
last evening in front of Lynch & CAL
lagher's saloon on DeMers avenue.
by an unknown man, who made his
escape across to Grand Forks and Is
believed to have taken freight out
of that city. Young's wounds are not
serious, no bones being struck and the
bullets went right through the fieshy
portion of the arm.
After shooting Youngs the unknown
rushed across the DeMers avenue
bridge to Grand Forks, pursued by
Chief Franklin and a crowd Of several
hundred people. officer Blue of Grand
Forks, heard the shots and when the
futitive reached the west side OF the
DeMers avenue bridge. Blue command
ed him to halt and fired two shots.
The officer aimed at the ground be-
lieVing that he could scare the rum
ner, and fearing that he would wound
some of the passersby The man never
stopped.
When he reached the Northern Pa
cific express office he bolted up the
alley, followed by the officers. He
ran down between the Antlers and
Dacotah and kept going west until he
reached Fourth street. He then turned
south and after reaching the Great
Northern tracks disappeared among
the box cars No further trace of him
was found and he Is believed to have
boarded a car of the freight going out
about that time and escaped from
Grand Forks. The police of both cities
hunted for him all night but could
find no further clue.
The would be murderer is described as
a man Of medium height, with dark
beard of about six weeks growth and
wearing the clothing Of Iaboring
man.
From the story told by Youngs ii
appears that the man who did the
shooting was trying to take watch
from Tom Mcdonald, friend oe
Youngs'. The unknown grabbed Me-
Donaid's watch and Youngs inter-
fered. Then the would be robber pull

RACE SUICIDE war.
MRS. DECKER GETS LETTERS IN
DoRsING HER POSITION.
One Man Recommends Long Court
ship as a Test of Her Affections
People Should BE Educated to
Raise Better Progeny.

Denver, Col, Sept 11.-Mrs. Sarah
Platt Decker, president Of the Ma
tional Federation of Women's clubs,
who recently took issue against Pres
ident Roosevelt's demands for more
children, is receiving letters strongly
commencing her pronouncement that
1t Is of greater Importance to ma
tion aiming at mental, moral and ply
sical progress to have a thoroughbred
progeny than to have the highest pos
sltae number born without regard to
their parentage.
The letters strange to say are so
far all from men. Most of them claim
to have given the subject some
thought and express thanks that the
forward stand for perfection in man
hood has been taken by woman of
national fame, whose opinion cannot
fail to be both impressive and effec-
tive.
Long Courtship.
One writer. evidently a physician
and scientific student, enthuses over
the prospects that the question of race
suicide and race progress will now
be more generally discussed. The
has been quiet discussion for some
time among scientific men, who be-
lieve that imbeciles, degenerates and
sick persons should be weeded out
and a ban put on their marriage. Also
that a movement is on foot to bring
the matter before legislatures and
congress to the end that raising chill
dren as far as percentage is con-
cerned shall be governed by the law
of the land.
The writer fully endorses Mrs.
Decker's theory that people should not
be allowed to rush into marriage hap
hazardly simply for the sake Of being
married, even If they indicate no ply
steal disability. but instead there
should be certain length of court
ship which would determine whether
the couple really loved each other and
were properly mated
Won't Marry.
One letter is from young man who
says he has determined he will not
marry, even If he fall lin love, until he
is sure his marriage will aid In the
progress Of tIe race He says he has
not vet found a partner of that kind.
Mrs. Decker thinks the solution OF
the problem lies In education UP to-
the point where the subject Of race
progress should be inStilled into the.
minds Of the rising generation by
their parents and she says it would
then become d matter Of national
pride and patriotism.

TOBACCO sTEMMERIEs
DESTROYED BY FIRE.

! Louisville, KY, Dec. IA special
from Princeton, KY, says the tobacco
stemmeries of John Steger and John
IC Orr, the latter controlled by the
Imperial Tobacco Company of New
York, were last night destroyed by a
fire kindled by a mob of masked men.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. The
mob, which numbered 800 men, en-
tered Princeton between 1 and
o'clock, seized the night town mar
shal and disarmed MIN. They then
went to the factories and quickly ap-
piled the torch. Masked men stood
guard, permitting nobody to come
near until the buildings were COM
pletely enveloped in flames.
The Steger factory is controlled by
the American Snuff Co., and Steger
is the Princeton agent for the con-
cern. There were about 150,0O0fb of
tobacco in each warehouse, and all
was burned. The mob in addition to
disarming the policeman took charge
of the pumping station and water
works, so that even if the fire com
pany had responded it would have
been unable to obtain a supply of wa
ter. The work of the mob is believed
to be only in furtherance of the agi-
tation by the tobacco raisers against
the tobacco trust. The organization of
farmers is known as the Ozark To-
bacco Growers Protective Associa-
tion,'' but it is not known that any
member of that organization was in
last nights mob.

A RAINY DAY SOLILOQUY.

(The ''Parson" and Shakespeare
To pave Or not to pave, that is the
question
Whether it's better in high top boots
to wade
The sloughs and crossings of abomi-
nable highways,
Or to take arms against protesting
landlords,
And standing by the City Council
make war? To pave, to drain
Our streets, and by prudent expendi-
ture to say we end
The loblolly. and the nastiness and
filth
Horse and foot must wade through.
Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To pave-to
spend
To lose-perchance our all; aye
there's the rub,
For with the melting SHOWS what
floods will come
When we have laid our bricks and
gravel,
Must give us pause; there's the re-
spect
We all should have for capable men;
For who would bear the expense of
bungling,
The wasted time, the much more
wearied people,
The uncertain moves, the unavoidable
delay,
The old fogy thoughts, the ill-timed
moves
That oft result from rushing things,
When we ourselves might all this
tumble save
By simple waiting. Who would such
conditions bear
But that the dread of fault-finders
Interfering, asking foolish questions,
criticising,
And such like nonsense puzzle the
brain,
And make us rather bear the ills we
have
Than fly to others we know not of.
Thus knocking does make failures of
us all;
And the brilliant hopes of progress
Are blended all with sucn weak
chatter,
And plans and profit of great need
and moment
With encouragement are over
whelmed,
And the loss is all charged up to
croaking.
