Tazewell, Va,
Dear Sir:-The executive committee
of the Virginia State Farmers Insti-
tute have decided upon Roanoke as the
most suitable place for the fourth an
nual meeting and have selected August
l3, IA ard l5 as the dates for the same.
This is thirty days later than last year,
and the change has been made in ac=
cordance with the expressed wish OF
many members.
The railroads will give a rate of a
fare and third to Roanoke and return,
and arrangements have been made by
which a special train will be run from
Roanoke on the morning of the 18th to
the jamestown Exposition, stopping at
the Norfolk and Westerns farm at Ivor
for rest and refreshment. The remark
ably low rate of $4.25 for the round trip
to the jamestown Exposition has been
secured, the rate being proportionate
from points east of Roanoke. The
limit on these tickets is five days, the
special train leaving Norfolk on the re-
turn trip, Tuesday morning, August 20,
at 7:5O
A program of unexcelled merit is be-
ing prepared and the fourth annual

RUSSIAN DUMA DISSOLVED.
Imperial Ukase 0rdaIns That New EIec-
tIons be Held BEGINNING Sent. I4th.

st. Petersburg, June 16.-The lower
house of parliament has been dissolved.
The dissolution of the Russian duma,
arising directly out of the refusal of
that body to consent to the demand
made upon it by Premier Stolypin, that
it permit the arrest of number of its
members ON the charge of conspiracy
against the state, does not come as a
surprise. Since the lower house first
met on March 18th, last, it has been
freely predicted that its dissolution was
only question of time.
The imperial ukase was addressed to
the ruling senate and read as follows:
According to paragraph 1O5 of the
fundamental laws of 1906 we ordain:
Firstly, that the imperial duma be
dissolved;
Secondly, that new elections of mem
bers to another duma be had beginning
September 14th; and,
Thirdly, that the new imperial duma
be convoked November 14th of the pres
ent year.
''The ruling senate will not fail to
take the proper measures to place this
in effect.
(Signed) NICHOLAS.

The fact that the bodies had drifted

the tragedy gives rise to the fear that
all of them will never be found.

The city has again assumed the ap-
pearance of an armed camp. Through
out last night detachments of infantry
and cavalry continued to arrive. The
garrison of st. Petersburg is now dou-
BILE its ordinary strength. Every rail-
road station was occupied today by two
companies of infantry and two squad
rons of cavalry, and armored military
trains were held in readiness in view of
the possibility of an outbreak or a rail,
road strike. All the railroad stations
were watched by the special police to
prevent the escape of the social demo-
cratic deputies and the revolutionist
agitators, among whom a general ex-

JOHN D. TAKES THE HELM.
Rockefeller Hopes to steer Oil Trust
Clear of Rocks.

0iCdT OF nOCkSs
New York, Sept. 25.-Things of one
kind or another have been happening
to the Standard Oil company and the
companies it is interested in so fast in
the last few months that John j..
Rockefeller has decided it is time for
him to take a hand. and it is learned
that he has been down at his office
in the last two weeks, although be-
fore that he had not been down for
eight years.
He did good deal of looking around
on these two occasions, and it is I'M
derstoOd that he is going to keep a
close watch on the management of the
company until several important mat
tiers are cleared up. This will not be
the case until a successor for Henry
H. Rogers. who has been the active
head of the organization for a long
time and who is now, it is conceded, to
retire permanently on account of his
health, has been chosen.

HORTON TOO QUICK
". F. CRAMER ATTEMPTED TO
SHOOT CAPT. HORTON.
Result of Quarrel in Saloon at Osburn,
ldaho-cramer Ordered Drinks and
Was Refused on Account of Sunday
Law-Jury Returned Verdict Of Self
Defense-Horton Is an Oldtimer

Wallace, Idaho, Sept. 23-W. F.
Cramer fell dead on the floor of a
saloon in Osburn Sunday morning. a
charge of lead from a shotgun enter
ing his open mouth, the slayer, Capt
A. p. Horton, proving quicker in the
use of firearms than Cramer, who was
reaching for his pistol. Horton, after
notifying the sheriffs Office of the
tragedy, lathered his face and shaved
man lay and awaited the arrival of
the sheriff. The cOroner's jury re-
turned a verdict of self defense.
Cramer, who was better known in
this district as Cray Frenchy," met
his death in the saloon belonging to
Capt. A. p Horton and William Os-
borne, at Osburn, between Wallace
ind Wardner. The full charge enter
ed Cramer's mouth, fractured the jaw
in at least five places and causing in
staneous death.
About 1880 o'clock Cramer entered
the saloon and demanded a drink from
Capt. Horton, who was cleaning up.
Horton refused to give the drink. be-
cause, as he told the corOner's jury,
he had known Cramer's character
when under the influence of liquor,
and also because of the Sunday rest
law. Other evidence goes to show that
Cramer appears to have lost his tenn
per- and after smashing some glasses
on the floor reached for his gun,
which he carried in the inside pocket
of his waistcoat. Horton at the same
time reached for a shotgun under the
bar and discharged the contents in
Cramer's face, killing him instantly.
Horton says that "Frenchy" hated
him like poison and had often threat
ened to shoot him, and Horton there
fore did not care to take any chances.
Immediately after the shooting Hor-
ton himself notified the sheriff's de-
partment in Wallace, after which he
shaved himself in the room where
Cramer's body was lying on the floor
Six men were present at the time of
the shooting. but none saw exactly
what had happened, as they were play
ing cards and sitting with their backs
to the bar.
Captain Horton is one of the best
known characters in the district and
is a pioneer of the Occur dAlenes
having come to this district in 1888
Early in the spring of this year he
entered into partnership with viii
liam Osborne in a saloon at Osburn
He is now 81 years of age. Cramel
was a Frenchman by birth, man Of
good education, and came Of an excel
lent family. He was victim of the
drink habit. In spite of the fact tina
he was shot with a shotgun there il
practically not a mark on his face, thu
whole contents of the charge entering
by the mouth without spreading.

Against the pastor there is but one
witness-the ringer of the chimes
Going to the church loft to sound the

in one another's arms. The pastor
stumbled and before he could regain
himself the bell ringer had seized and
tied him hand and foot to the clappeI
of the principal bell and began tc
sound the shurch chimes furiously

upon them from the bell tower, can

Shooters From Their Cradles
The best shots in the world are the
Kentucky mountaineers. The west has
nothing to compare with them. When
it comes to pulling gun" quickly and
shooting accurately the most expert Of
frontier bad men would appear slow
and clumsy by the side of many Of
these mountain outlaws They learn
to shoot almost as soon Us they grad
uate from the cradle. Many Of their
sports relate to shooting. The pro-
prietor Of the crossroads store has a
shooting gallery in his establishment,
where in other localities you might
find slot machine. In one store 1
saw wheel about half the size OF a
spinning wheel with pieces OF card
board containing numbers on the diff
ferent spokes. The charge was mi

tiCipant picked his number. The prizes
ranged all the way from a box of car
tridges to a bag OF cornmeal or side
Of SOW BOSOM" according to the size

The Military Road
a PICTURESQUE Highway.

The appropriation of So, 900 by con-
gress for the building of the govern
ment road from Fort Barrancas, via
the navy yard and the national cem-
terry. TO Bayou Grande and for the re-
building of the bridge over Bayou
Grande, is a tribute to the good work
of Senator Mallory and Representa-
tive Lamar.
This road. has been the dream of
Pensacolians and of local army off,
GERS for years, and an appropriation of
$4,000 was at one time secured for
it. This amount, however, hardly suf-
feed to build the Bayou Grande bridge
and clear the right-of-way, and up
to this time nothing further had been
accomplished on the project
Senator Mallory did on several occa-
sions succeed in getting an appropria-
ton through the senate, but each time
the item was killed in the house
has succeeded in getting the approval
Of the house for the project and, that
secured. it required little time for
Senator Mallory to again get it
through the senate.
The county is now engaged in build
ing a hard road from the city limits
to Bayou Grande and when both this
and the government end of the road
are completed it win form one of the
finest and most picturesque roadways
in the South There win on all the
Gulf coast, or in the state OF Florida,
be no drive that win approach this
one in excellence or attractiveness,
and it will constitute one of the great
features, aside from its practical
value. for the pleasure OF resident
and tourist alike.
