work in this way BY the elimination
OF weeds, ~ inferior specimens in thin

destroy beets, turnlps, carrots, pars-

extent be prevented by the careful
burning OF weeds and other trash
which harbor the pests.

Funston Tells Why

The following Is quoted from a per-

Funston by one of his friends among
the officers at the War Department:
In taking the action I did on the
morning of the earthquake. marching
the troops into the city for the purpose
of aiding the police and fire departments,
I knew that 1 was acting without war
rant of law, but the constitution and the
laws We're not framed for the purpose
of dealing with the conditions arising
from earthquakes and tremendous con-
lagrations- Fortunately we had a level
headed lot of city officials to deal with.
THE swift and efficient work Of the
army during the terrible three days and
nights Of fire have made great impress
sion on people here. The orders to the
troops were transmitted by mounted
messengers, all telegraphs and tele-
phones being put out Of business. but in
an hour and a half We had them patrol

MACON, No. May s.-There was an
interesting hearing before Miss Baity.
county school superintendent, and a
commission OF four men In the circuit
court room. The subject of the action
was the application of Robert Smith to
change from district 3-56-l5 to district
1-56-15. 16. One Of the districts had
voted in favor of the change and an
other against 1t. This gave Mr.. Smith
the right to appeal to the county com
missioner.
Two years ago, as a result Of a school
election, Mr. Smiths home had been
placed in district No. 3. and Mr.. Smith
said his children started to school there.
but that during the year 1904 they were
denied admission. forcibly elected from
the grounds. and later arrested on an
affidavit charging trespass. but the ac-
ton was dismissed without trial.
Tho directors said that they we're
simply following the law in ienying
Smiths children the right of that school,
IL having been decided that they be-
longed to another district. but that dur
ing the year 1905, in conformity with a
later decision by the commissioners. the
children were not denied permission to
attend school and could have gone there
at any time after the final decision Of
the commission.
Mr.. Smith asserted that he did not
care to send his children to a school
where they had been arrested and he
insisted that the 40 acres on which he
lived be included in the Morrow district
The commissioners found in favor of
Mr.. Smith and attached him TO that
district.

MISTOOK WIFE FOR RAT
AND SHOT HER FATALLY

CHICAGO. May ST was shooting
rats In my back yard and mistook my
wife for a rat" was the excuse Charles
Chapman, a laborer, 302 Campbell ave-
nue.. gave the police when arrested last
night for shooting his wife. Mamie but
the police are of the opinion he should
have discovered his mistake before firing
two shots into her back.
The fact that a bitter family quarrel
preceded the shooting by about an hour
led the police to believe they are JUS
titled in holding Chapman to await the
result OF his wife's injuries. The injured
woman was taken to the county hos
pital, where it is said her wounds are
likely to prove fatal.
The shooting occurred in the rear yard
Of the Chapman home early last evening
and was Witnessed by Alice Cook. eight
Years old, an adopted daughter of the
couple She told the police of the War
ren avenue station of the quarrel the
couple had a short time before the
shooting She also said Chapman had
been drinking.
