Nicolina and Leonard Gebbia were
given death sentences In their recent
trial at Haniville, La, for guilty
knowledge Of, and::participation in the
abduction and murder Of little Walter
Lamana, Of New Orleans. The
actual murders escaped. several Others
implicated were let of with life i'm
prisonment which only means Is years
in Louisiana If they behave them
selves. and the two who were con-
sidered least guilty are sentenced to
death. It Is unfortunate that the
real murderers cannot be caught and
hung; but the jury had tho facts and
instructions under the law and its
presumed they rendered just verdict
in the case Of the two just tried. Be-
cause the Others who deserved hanging
also. have escaped 80 far, Il no reason
the last should not Be hung Il they
deserve Il. Hang al the guilty they
catch, IS Will keep down crime.

Empires and Queens. THE moral
tooth IL of ohalky substance The
above are answers to certain questions
by negro applicants for license to
teach in the recent examination held
here for teachers for the race which
s'need higher education. A negro
lawyer who once taught school in this
county said he always opened and
closed each day with prayer and song
and asserted That churches and schools
wero doing great good for his race.
When asked how it was that the 80
percent Of uneduoated negroes had 100
in the penitentiary
and the 80 per cent who were edn-
Gated to some extent had 800 wearing
stripes; said ''well sir education
makes q negro ambitious and If he
Gait get what he wants one way ne
will get it another = He was right
in his diagnosis and the anJwers
above prove that as soon as one learns
to read and write they have the
ambition to, teach( y without any
qualification to instruct their pupils in
aught, except to disdain honest labor
and to hate the people who support
their schools. 1t is with the tax.
paying white citizens who foot the
bill to change the mode Of selecting
teachers. Have the county superin-
tendent select the trustees from among
the best white men Of every school
district and those trustees to elect the
teachers, who should be chosen care
fully and compelled to teach sgri-
culture, along with other things that
will DO as little harm as possible,
until the whole system can be changed
so that they can foot their own bills
for their own schools, which however
just now seems improbable, if not i'm
possible, but which is still worth
hoping and and striving for.

a chain locked around his neck,
crossed upon his breast, carried be-

Cane Sugar Business Paws.

II. E. Krienke, who last year
built modern and complete sorg-
hum factory on his farm northwest
Of Hutchinson, found ready mar
ket for 2,100 gallons of sorghum
which he manufactured in the fall,
and is preparing for a still larger
business the coming season. The
plant embraces a two-story building
and basement, 48x14, and wing,
24x24, tanks, watts, heaters, furnace,
crusher and an 8-horse power gaso-
line engine, all brand new, as good
as money could buy and costing
complete close to $4,000. The
crusher, or mill, weighs $500.
The run last fall was very satis-
factory to Mr.. Krienke, but his
first years business was in a mea-
sure experimental and has convinced
him that a deficator is necessary to
the completeness Of his plant and he
will install one in time for use next
fall. A defcator removes from the
sap all the small particles of cane
which cause the green scum in the
boiling pans and give the syrup a
dark and strong flavor. .-Hutchin.

Gets $2,500 Appropriation.

Lawrence z. Thompson of Green
Lake township was granted an ap-
preparation Of $1,000 by the late
legislature, as damages for injur-
les sustained in the states employ
in the wheat inspection department
at Duluth. The injuries were sus-
tanned Nov. 27, 1901, or the night
before Thanksgiving Day. Mr..
Thompson's working shift was
mostly in the night and he had not
had the opportunity to observe the
dangerous places on the trestle,
where his duties would compel him
to go, so he fell thru an opening
and sustained injuries of the ankle
which disabled him to such an ex-
tent that the legislature was l,,a,,-,- ~:
vailed upon to grant the ratief
above mentioned. Mr.. Thompson
was in the cities two or three weeks
ago in the interest of his claim and
the same was allowed some over a
week ago. He drew his money last
Friday. Hon. Henry Feig had the
matter in charge for him and Sen
ator Thorpe and Representative
johnson pushed the bill thru the
legislature. Mr.. Thompson has
had considerable expense in pushing
his claim, nevertheless he realizes a
handsome little sum that will assist
him.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING
Story of How Two Men Were Saved from Dealt
Thru the WatchfulneSS of a D0d.

J. M. Peckenpaugh, the Olivia
game warden, and C. N. Snyder
came near being drowned in Big
Kandiyohi lake on Saturday a week
ago, and they owe their lives to a
faithful watchdog at neighboring
house, who heard their cries for
help and aroused the people Of the
house to go to their assistance.
The accident happened in the af-
ternoon, while the lake was being
pounded into seething foam by a
northeaster snoWstorm. They at
tempted to cross the lake in a sheet
iron boat belonging to Messrs.
Peckinpaugh and Salstrom. The
boat is safe one if handled right,
and had Mr.. Peckinpaugh been at
the oars it is probable that all
would have gone we'll. But Mr..
Snyder was rowing, and as he is an
inexperienced oarsman he allowed
the boat to swing into the trough of
OF the waves and 1t was capsiZed, ,
throwing both into about Is feet of
water. Both had fur coats on,
thus making it difficult for them to
keep afloat. Mr.. Snyder, who
could not swim stroke, got ex-
cited and tried to climb into the
boat, and at every attempt the boat
turned over, but they managed to
retain their hold and called loudly
for help. Their cries were heard
by Mr.. Danielson's watchdog while
the family were at supper, and the
