Blaze Al ReptOn.

Last Tuesday morning about three
thirty G clock, Mr.. 5. d. Asher's 5,
of Repton, store and dwelling ad Join
ing were burned to the ground.
The fire originated in the store and
was supposed to have been set on
fire by sparks from passing freight
tram.
He ha3fiust received new lot Of
goods and altogether, he had about
$500 worth of goods, in the general
merchandise line. There was only
$500 insurance on the goods, none
on the building.
The dwelling was valued at Sl40C
with 5000 insurance and 5000 on the
household goods.
All the stock of merchandise and
and about one-half the household
contents were destroyed.
Mr.. Asher was also postmaster and
lost all his post office supplies, books,
etc, and saved ouly few stamps
which happened to be in the safe,
that being the only article taken
from the store.
The small freight depot belonging
to the |. &. Railroad Co., was burn
ed but everything was removed from

Body Of Woman Has Been Stolen.

Sturgis, KY, Nov. 26.-When the
grave of Mrs. Henry Delaney. who
was mysteriously murdered fifteen
years ago was opened today it was
found that the coffin containing the
body had been removed and the
grave refilled.
Henry Delaney and Abbie Oliver
we're sweethearts here fifteen years
ago, 1t is claimed that Delaney ac-
complished the ruin Of the girl and
that her parents forced the marriage,
the father threatening Delaney with
dire vengeance if he did not marry
the girl.
Delaney and the girl drove from
here to Morganfeld, the county seat
of Union county and the ceremony
was performed there. On the way
back the bride of few hoursIwas
mysteriously murdered by party Of
boys who had come to the rescue of
Delaney. Delaney was arrested
charged with the crime but he was
acxutted and still lives here. The
body was buried here. Today 7. G.
Williams, of Evansville, came here
to exhume the body to transfer it to
another cemetery. When the grave
was opened it was found that the
coffin containing the body had been
removed and the grave refilled.
, whether the body was stolen to pre-
vent a post mortem or whether it
was sold to a medical college is
matter of conjecture. The matter
has attracted a great deal of attention
throughout this section.

Years Of Service on Supreme Bench

Washington, Nov. 20. ---John Mar
shall Harlan, Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
will round out to morrow thirty
years rs a member of the highest
tribunal. While there is rumor in
circulation that he may resign his
position as a member of the court in
the near future, there is no confrma-
ton to be had, so too much depend
ence should not be placed in it. Some
time ago, when asked whether he ev-
er thought about retiring, Justice
Harlan said:
IL can only say that have not as
yet determined what | shall do. |
could have retired on full salary on
June !. 1903. Now and then the
thought comes to me that should
retire in order that | might do GER
tam work which | cannot well do
while on the bench but when get
close to a determination of the ques-
ton the thought comes to me that my
life would be shortened and perhaps
become dreary if | should quit the
work to which | have become accus-
toned, and in the doing of which |
am most happy. So am undecided
in the matter. 1t may be that my
judicial work may end only with my
life, unless in the meantime am
Informed by those near me and who
have the right to advise me that my
duty is to give way to younger
man.
Born on June |, 1888, Justice
Harlan is now more than seventy-four
years old, but is as active as a man
half that age.

Need 300 Teachers.

Three hundred teachers will be
needed in the Philippines early next
year in order to maintain the quota
Of ! 900 from the United States.
Special examinations for these posi-
tons will be held by the United
States Civil Service Commission in
the holiday vacation.
Two sorts of places are open 10
competition, those of teachers and
assistants, the latter being of a
higher grade, and likely to lead the
appointments as Division Superin-
tendents and more important places
to the civil service Of the islands.
The examination for these places
will call for graduates from colleges
and special schools.
In an announcement prepared to
be given out at the War Department,
it is stated. This examination will
be open to the wives, fancees, OF
other women who are near relatives
Of those already in the service or
candidates for position as teachers.
The age limits are twenty and forty
years. The bulk OF the appointments
will be made at the entrance salary
of IL, 200"
In his address at the opening OF
the Philippine Assembly, Secretary
Taft said that one of the greatest
obstacles to the development Of the
Philippines was the lack Of a com
mon language. In noting the i'm
provement as the result Of the schoo
system, he said:
1T is not an exaggeration Il
assert that now more native Filipino
speak English than Spanish, although
Spanish was the language of tn
ruling race in these islands for NOR
than $50 years. The strongest basi
for our confidence in the future 0
the Filipino people is the eagernes
with which the opportunities extend
ed for education in English hav
been seized by the poor and ignoran
parents of these islands for thei
children. 1t Is alike pathetic an
encouraging. Washington Cor. \

Count vladimir Nichoeaevitch Lams-
dorff, who occupied prominent place
in the Russian public service for near
ly forty years, was bern in st. Peters
