GRAND LARCENY
Charge Against Ernest Pin
ner, COL, Arrested Here.

Ernest Primer. COL. was arrested
here Friday night on a charge of
grand larceny Primer is alleged to
have stolen a suit of clothes and a
revolver from the room of Dr. c. l..
Cook, in Louisville. The stolen
goods were recovered at a pawnshop
in Louisville and the negro was ar
rested on information furnished by
the police of that city. Primers
parents live here, and officers made
a search of the house, but failed to
locate the man wanted in the build
ing. Finally the lid on an ice box
was raised and Primer was found in
side. The negro was taken to the
lookup, where he remained until
Sunday, when detective Albert
Walker, of Louisville, took him back
to that city for trial.

PRINCETON MARAUDERS
Believed to Have Had Spies
Here Yesterday.

A number of strange men, not in
the habit of visiting Hopkinsville
were here yesterday and some of
them were almost gleeful over the
Princeton outrage and there is
strong reason to believe that they
were members of the mob. The po-
lice Swallowed them and obtained
their names. 1t is not believed that
these spies got any encouragement
here. Public sentiment is unanimous
ly against such lawlessness in this
city.
Mayor Meacham and Sheriff Smith
believe that they are amply able,
with the assistance of Co. D., which
will be available in case of riot, to
cope with any mob that may threat
en- the city. 1t is hardly possible
that the Princeton episode could be
repeated here.

ton to several other buildings, caus-
ing a loss of between $4,000 and

REVIVAL
CONTINUES.
Additions to the Church
Now Number About
Fifty.
CROWDS GROW LARGER.
Dr.. Jenkens Is Preaching
Series of Most Powerful
and Convincing Sermons.

The revival at the Baptist church
will continue all this week with
services at 10 o'clock in the morning
and at z at night.
The crowds are still so large that
they fill both rooms Of the church
and up to Sunday night the addi-
tons to the church numbered 46.
No such revival has ever been held
in the church for many years. The
membership is greatly pleased with
the new pastor, DR.. Jenkens, and
the church is thoroughly united
and greatly strengthened in every
way.
The singing is one of the most in
teresting features of the meeting.
Mr.. Holden, the leader, is now be-
ing assisted by his wife, who ar
rived from Chicago Saturday night
and is presiding at one of the
pianos, while Mrs. j. H. Anderson
presides at the other.
There will be a meeting next Sun
day afternoon at 3 o'clock, when
DR.. Jenkens will preach exclusively
to men.
Nothing has been said about clos
ing the meeting and DR.. Jenkens
says he intends to leave that entirely
with the Lord.

riders scattered as they had come,
by every road and by.path, and in
few minutes only the light of the
flames from the blazing buildings re-
NAMED to tell of their presence.
Meanwhile the firemen, who had
been powerless to act owing to the
fact that the raiders had control Of
the waterworks, rushed to the scene
as soon as the incendiaries left and
after stubborn fight succeeded in
subduing the flames. not, however,
before several other buildings had
been destroyed.
1t was impossible to discover the
identity of any of the men in the
raiding party, as their masks COM
pletely concealed their features, but
it is supposed that they were in
spired to take up the work of de-
struction as the result of the war
which has been waged in this section
of the State for some time between
the growers and the tobacco trust.
The people of Princeton and the
surrounding country are indignant
over the outrage, and the officials
here declare that every effort will
be made to run the perpetrators of
the crime to earth.
This is the third time within the
past few months that factories have
been destroyed by might raiders, ;"
two having been blown up recently,
one at Fredonia and the other at

Work of Destruction.

Then the work of destruction was
begun. First. the Orr factory was
visited. In this there was 100000
pounds of tobacco and the building
itself was worth about 500, 900. The
torch was at once applied, and, aided
by the work of dynamite, the build
ing was soon a mass of ruins.
The next place visited was the
Gallaher stemmery, which contained
about 100000 pounds of tobacco, the
structure being valued at $4,000.
This shared the fate of the Orr build
ing. and, in order to make the work
of destruction more certain, oil was
poured on the sides of the building.
Then. without further to do. the

Went Toward Cadiz.

The mob left Princeton before 2
O'Clock and proceeded toward Eddy
Vile. When within about four miles
of Eddyville they turned off the
Cadiz road and proceeded in the di-
rection of that place. No report of
any further depredations has been
received, and the officers think they
disbanded before going far.
Some of the tobacco men today
say that the work last night was not
that of any members of the Growers
Association. They hint that the fires
were started by enemies of the as
sociation.

Slipped in Early.

Some of the night raiders began
to slip into town early in the even
ing and posted themselves at differ
ent points, where they were pre-
pared to act as guards. The main
body of the men, however, did not
make their appearance until about
1890, when from every road and by
path they rode, walked or drove in
to Princeton. There was no attempt
at concealment, for as the riders
rushed through the streets they
fired their pistols in the air, and for
time there was reign of terror.
First they went to the police head
quarters and succeeded in disarming
the policemen. Then portion of
the crowd proceeded to the telephone
exchange, where two girls were on
duty. These were ordered to leave
their desks and, upon their compli-
ance, they sent them home under
guard. One of the young ladies was
Miss Annie Roche, of Hopkinsville.
Though the girls were naturally
much frightened, they we're treated
in as polite a manner as could be eX-
pected under the circumstances, and
guards simply took them to their
homes and left them there.
In the meantime a body of men
had taken charge of the telegraph
office, while still another crowd wa
in full control of the waterworks.

Own the Town.

The night riders took possession
of the water works, the telephone
service, the telegraph offices and
even the court house in order to
prevent anybody from tolling the
bell, and disarmed all policemen and
kept the firemen within their head
quarters. Over two thousand shots
were fired, aud the daring citizen
who stuck his head out of the win
dow quickly withdrew it to the
accompaniment of whiz of bullets.

trees should be planted to make
ship masts and lumber. The ex-
perience of the civilized world in
all ages has proved beyond the shad-
ow of doubt that to make a thrift
ty growth a tree should be carefully
planted in fertile, we'll pulverized
soil, with as many of its roots at
tached as possible. 1.-THE Library
of Universal Knowledge says /:
SIN planting the trees their roots
are spread out as much as possible, {"
and ut is desirable to have a ball
of earth attached to the roots in
every case, although this is often
neglected. - Information for the
People" says: ''The soil should be
deeply broken and excavated from
to square feet to receive the full
spread of the roots.' Vick's Maya
zine for April, 1906, says: 1.-THE
holes dug must be deep enough and
large enough to set the stem in
this line, and to spread the roots
out naturally. Even a little tree
loves big hole" Experience is

analogy opposes it and reason con-
dennis it. w. Ingham in the

to raise large, profitable crops of
grain, grass, vegetables, flax, cot
ton, hemp, or tobacco, the ground
must be prepared by blowing, har-
rowing and rolling, to make it as
mellow as possible before planting,
so that the roots of the plants can
penetrate it easily and quickly in
all directions, embrace the fine par
ticles of soil, and extract the mois-
ture and nourishment which the
plants must have in abundance to
grow luxuriantly and produce the
best crops. There is no plant or
herb we can think of that will not
grow and produce better results in
a we'll prepared soil than in UNI
p1cwed ground. Corn has been
grown on the rich prairies by chop
ping through the sod with an axe
and inserting the seed, but the
planter raised only meager crop.
He did not expect much and was
not disappointed.
If the roots of all plants of which
we have knowledge thrive best in a
mellow soil, why not the roots of
fruit trees? Have they any pecu-
liar, miraculous power not shared
Iby the roots of other growing things
to penetrate a compact soil made
more solid by jabbing the crowbar
to make the hole for the trees in
sertion? They tell us of a case

asunder Granting the story may
be true, was there not tremendous
waste of energy in making those
1 roots split the rock? How much
\ further those roots would have ex-
tended in mellow soil, and how
much quicker the tree would have
grown and produced fruit. The

CHANGES WROUGHT
BY TIME HfRtABOUTS

More than 81 years ago, long be-
fore Lincoln county was carved from
old Alturas, people had visions of
settlement along the Snake river.
At that time Minidoka was only a
siding. Alturas county, which en-
braccd the territory now included
in Blaine, Elmore and Lincoln
counties, was the most prominent
county in the state. 1t was very top
heavy, however. HALEY, Ketchum
and Bellevue were the smoking
towns and all eyes were focused
northward. Shoshonc claimed some
prominence for a time as the west
ern terminus of the Oregon Short
Line and junction point of the Hail
ey branch, which was built in 1888.
The Goose creek country was also
attracting considerable attention.
Shoshonc falls had already been rec
ognized as one of the scenic won
ders of America and postoffice,
bearing the classic name of Naples,
was located there.
In 1884 the Minidoka tract was q
famous stock range. Old timers
still speak of the time when ths
grass was belly high" to their
horses. In winter time it was e
favored spot for antelope and deer,

SURE TREE
u PLANTING
Expert Takes Issue With
the StringfeIIOw Method
of Sticking a Hole
in the Ground.

New discoveries have been made
in modern times in the use of steam
and electricity and in the practice
of agriculture. So it will not do to
say the Stringfellow new horticul-
ture" is a humbug and a folly
New and valuable things have beer
discovered recently, and, according
10 Wendell Philips, many of the
old arts have been entirely lost.
Some experienced orchardists have
become converts to the Stringfellow
method of tree planting, and MIR.
Stringfellow himself is no doubt a
very intelligent gentleman. Some
trees, like the willow and Balm of
limb stuck into the gruond, but
know from trial that they will grow
quicker when small trees are plant
ed with their roots left on. Cur
rants and grapevines will grow from
cuttings, but will grow faster when
set out with their roots. / moved
a row of currant bushes from one
garden to another in the spring
with all the roots that could be
saved and some dirt adhering, and
they bore some fruit that same sea;
son 3 a full crop the next year.
Everybody knows that a large tree
will not grow when transplantec
unless it is taken up with a ball o.
earth containing most of its roots.
There are two ways of doing worl
practiced in this world. The one
is to do it extremely well, and tn,
other is only to half do it. Worl
well done always pays the best il
the long run. The endeavor to saw,
labor is all right, provided the les
labor produces jus as good results
but this is the question in dispute
The Stringfellow method of tire
planting is to make hole with a.
iron bar in an unplowed field, the
cut off the roots except the stub am
crowd il into the hole.

immense numbers of which browsed
in the vicinity of the river. Mo-
body paid any attention to the south
end of Alturas county. Camas
prairie was the coming agricultural
section, according to popular inn
preston. The rest of the county
vas supposed to be desert. Travel
ers looked at the map, saw the
words Desert Sage Palms, and
passed on. The country travcrsed
by the Oregon Short Line looked
bleak and inhospitable from car
windows, and when Idaho was mem
toned to western travellers they
merely snorted and looked at their
watches.
Irrigation has worked remark
able transformation. What was once
the Desert Sage P1ain,'' included
in Alturas and Cassia counties, is
now the most conspicuous section in
Idaho. The Minidoka and Twin
Falls tracts are already the most
densely settled agricultural sections
in the state. They will support an
immense population in the near
future and contribute more than
their share to the prosperity of Ida
no. The mines which made old
Alturas county famous are still pro-
ducing and no doubt other mines
equally as good, if not better, will
eventually be opened up. But the
greatest and most productive mine
of all is the Desert Sage Plain. -
1t will produce for centuries to
come, growing richer as the years
pass. 1t took 20 years to demon
strate the worth of the Desert Sage
Plain," but the results are worthy

gansett Pier, R. l., from June 29th to
July 9th. Nearly thousand librarians
from the different states were present.
Beside the sessions at the Pier. libraries
in Providence, Newport. Fall River and
New Bedford were visited. At Provi.
dence the party was given luncheon by
the ladies, in the library OF Brown Uni.

not only to the librarians but to the
general public; such as: Books for the
foreign population, books for the blind,
for children and for girls; technical and
industrial books, the planning and con.
struction OF library buildings, travelling
libraries and small libraries. Full re.
ports of the papers read may be found
