ELECTION RIOT IN KENTUCKY
Results in Death of One Man and In.
Jury of Three Others.

Lexington, KY, Nov. 6.-Following
an election day riot here, Clyde Camp
bell was killed, Patrolman Michael
Murphy was probably fatally wounded
and Patrolman Marion Smith and w.
R. Campbell, Clyde's father, Were Sc
yerely wounded. The elder Campbell,
who was a Republican candidate for
councilman, was arrested after he had
protested against what he termed
election frauds. His son came to his
assistance and was shot by Murphy.
w. r. Campbell then shot Murphy,
who returned the fire, severely wound
ing his man, although himself prob
ably fatally hurt. There is much eX-
element.
There is some difference in the re-
ports of the shooting. A graphic ac-
count is given by Thomas A. knight,
who saw the tragedy.
knight said that in large crowd
at a voting place he saw Officer Muir
ply struggling with w. r. Campbell.
When the struggle seemed nearly over
and Campbell seemed to be ceasing
his resistance, knight saw young
Campbell run up and strike Murphy
in the face. Murphy turned and
kicked young Campbell in the stom-
ach Campbell then ran out East High
street, while Murphy continued toward
the police station with his prisoner.
A little later young Campbell came
running up with a revolver in his
hand. He showed the pistol into Muir
phys face. Murphy was evidently
surprised at the attack, but held On to
his prisoner. Young Campbell de-
manded that Murphy turn his father
loose, but Murphy refused. Just then
Patrolman Smith came, and as young
Campbell turned to see the officer,
Murphy struck him three times over
the head with his club. Young Camp
bell dropped to his knees and as he
did so the elder Campbell shot Muir
ply in the bacr. Smith then drew
his revolver AMI the shooting became
general. Smith shot the elder Camp
bell MDyGy staggered up against
the size y che building and continued
to fire until he was struck by another
bullet, apparently fired by young
Campbell. Murphy had fallen, but he
got up and staggered to where young
Campbell was struggling with some
one who had caught him. Murphy
leaned over, placed the muzzle of his
pistol within a few inches of young
Campbell'.5 body, took deliberate aim,
and fired

What Mr.. Bigler says of the splendid

to the same effect, their letters varying

VICTORY, FOR REPUBLICANS
Entire State Ticket Is Elected In
Kentucky

Louisville, Nov. Augustus b.
Wilson Of Louisville, Republican
candidate for governor, and the en-
tire Republican state ticket have been
elected by majorities of from 10000
to 1900, and the Republicans have
carried the city of Louisville for both
state and city tickets James F.
Grinstead, Rep, is elected mayor of
Louisville by $500 majority.
The next Kentucky legislature will
have Democratic majority On Joint
ballot and presumably for Governor
Beckham for United States senator,
although there is already talk OF a
bolt of some of the Democrats to de-
feat him. This is the result of one
of the warmest and what has been
one of the fairest elections that has
been held In Kentucky in many years.

PASSED OFF QUIETLY
Little Excitement 0ccasi0ned
by State Elections.
RESULT IN MASSACHUSETTS
Entire Republican State Ticket Head
ed by Governor Guild Reelected.
Hearst Candidates Meet Defeat In
New York State.

New York, Nov. Collections held
throughout the country passed off
comparatively quiet. The returns
from various sections show the fol-
lowing results:
Massachusetts reelected the entire
Republican state ticket, headed by
Governor GUSTS Guild, Jr. Henry NJ
Whitney, the Democratic
candidate for governor, polled much
heavier vote than Charles w. Bart
lett, the anti-merger Democrat.
Pennsylvania elected John o.
Sheath, Rep, head of the ticket, for
state treasurer, by large majority.
New York state elected Edward T.
Bartlett and Willard Bartlett, joint
candidates on the Republican and
Democratic tickets for justices of the
court of appeals, over the candidates
of the independence league (Hearst)
New York city elected the Tam
many candidates. by considerable ma
jorities over the independence league
Republican fusion candidates.
The latest figures favored the cleo
ton of Katzenbach, Dem, as COVER
nor of New Jersey, but his lead is
very narrow over Fort, Rep, less than
1000 votes separating them.
The Maryland contest for the gov
ernorship is In doubt, owing to the
leteness Of the returns. Chairman
Vandiver of the Democratic state COM
h1utee claims the state by 10000, and
conservative estimates based on mea-
ger returns give Crothers, Dem, for
governor, a plurality of 5000 to 5000.
N<,Rhode Island Election.
The Rhode Island elections indicate
the reelection of Governor James H.
Higgins, Dem, over Frederick H.
Jackson, Rep, by a plurality estimat-
ed at about 1900, showing a Demo-
cratic gain from the plurality of last
year.
The election of the Democratic
ticket in Mississippi, headed by e. F.
Noel, for governor, is a foregone con-
clusion, as there is no opposition.
The Kentucky returns show a Re-
publican victory, Augustus E. Wilson,
Republican candidate for governor,
and the entire Republican state ticket
being elected by majorities of from
10000 to 1900.
In Nebraska, M. r. Reese, Repub-
lican candidate for the supreme court,
the most important Office voted on, is
undoubtedly elected.
The mayoralty contest in Cleveland
resulted In the election Of Tom L.
Johnson, the present mayor, over
Congressman Burton. Early reports
showed Burton ahead, but later the
Republican headquarters at Cleveland
conceded Johnson's election.
The American, or anti-Mormon par.
ty, at Salt Lake City is estimated to
have the largest pluralities ever given
in that city.
At Toledo Mayor Whitlock and the
entire Independent ticket is elected.
Cincinnati elected Colonel Leopold
Markbreit, the Republican candidate
for mayor.
Meager returns from San Francisco
show Taylor, Democratic and Good
Government candidate for mayor,
leading, with the Union Labor can
didate showing unexpected strength.

CHANGE IsNOT MADE
Normal School Course Is to
Remain the Same.

Duluth, Nov. 6.-The state normal
board held it's quarterly session at
Duluth yesterday. After an inspection
of the school, which is in excellent
condition, the board took up the pro-
posed change in the course of study.
Several months ago resolution was
offered which if adopted would cut out
the one-year course for high school
graduates. The presidents were in
structed at that time to investigate
the normal school systems in other
states, and to obtain all possible in
formation on the subject. President
Shoemaker was the leader among the
presidents opposed to the proposed
change, while President Maxwell of
Winona was the champion of the other
side. The presidents finally comprom-
ised on a recommendation to the
board that the one-year course be re-
tanned, but that in place of diploma
a certificate good for six years be
issued in its place. The board took
up the whole question with the presi-
dents, and listened to the views of
each. The conclusions drawn from the
statistics gathered from half dozen
states was that Minnesota was giving
better returns than any of the other
states, with the possible exception of
Wisconsin. In Illinois, for example,
last year there were 204 graduates
from the advanced course of all the nor
NAL schools, and none other. The cost
to the state per graduate was over
81 800. Minnesota normal schools
graduated $50 from the advanced
course, and over 500 from the one
year course. Figuring on the ILL
nois basis of advanced graduates the
cost to the state was about $1,l00
per graduate, making no charge for
the 800 one-year graduates. In other
words it cost one about one half as
much for Minnesota to graduate over
$50 one and two-year students as it
did Illinois to graduate 200 two-year
pupils.
The board voted to defer action on
the question until the June meeting,
and the sentiment was unanimous
that the one-year course be retained,
and that all possible aid be given to
the rural schools. If any action is
taken it will probably consist of ask
ing the legislature to authorize the
board to substitute certificates for
diplomas in certain courses. so that
there may be more distinct value
between the diplomas of elementary
and advanced graduates.
Complaint was made by a priest at
Mankato that the chapel exercises
quested that he be permitted to hold
morning exercises for the children of
his belief attending that school. The
board satisfied itself that there had
been no violation of the law in the
Mankato school, and as precedent
adopted a resolution that the chapel
exercises in all the schools be non
sectarian, to be conducted only by
the presidents of the schools or some
member of the faculty, and that stu
dents be required to attend, unless
excused for cause by the president.
The report of attendance showed
the st. Cloud school to be in the lead,
with Mankato second

The Asparagus Bed.

Burn off the asparagus beds now and
clean the ground thoroughly, apply
ing manure plentifully. All bushes
and weeds that have not been cleared
from the ground will serve as habor-
ing places for mice and insects, When
the materials on the surface of the
ground which have been destroyed by
frost are dry, and the grass also dead,
it is not difficult to burn an entire
bed over and thus consume many
seeds on the ground.

Testing Fertilizers.

The fertilizer tests at the New York
Experiment station showed no gain in
using phosphates or chemicals where
plenty of manure was mixed with the
soil. On sandy loans the manure light
ened it up too much, and the CONNER
cial fertilizer proved most efficient, but
on the clay loans the opposite re-
suits were obtained. The experiments
seemed to indicate that lettuce cares
less for the form or source of plant
food that about the texture of the
soil in which it grows.

BoB'S BOOM LAUNCHED
DINNER TO START OFF Ia FAIL
LOTTE'S IN MINNESOTA.
Will BE Held at Commercial Club, st.
Paul, on Nov. 10, Rumors Of
Moses e. Clapp.

The Minneapolis Journal says the
La Toilette campaign in Minnesota
is to be launched at dinner in
st. Paul Nov Is. 1t will be held at
the ST. Paul Commercial club, and a
general invitation will be extended to
all republicans desiring to help in the
La Toilette campaign for the presi-
dency. 1t is expected that several of
the Wisconsin leaders in the movement
will be preesnt and will speak.
Senator Moses f. Clapp has agreed
to attend this function. He is well
advised of its purpose, and his. ac-
ceptance raises the question as to
whether Minnesota's junior senator is
going to be favorable to the La
Toilette boom. He is strong for
Roosevelt, and has been supposed to
favor Taft for second choice. He is
personally on friendly terms with
Senator La Toilette, and his action
may mean nothing more, but it will
be a La Toilette dinner, and if he
goes Senator Clapp can hardly escape
declaring himself.
1t is expected that the La Toilette
men will start a state organization on
the 18th, and will begin active work
toward getting the Minnesota delega
ton.
The three La Toilette boomers who
were in the Twin Cities Sunday,
Messrs. Lenroot. Ekern and Owen, are
coming back tomorrow. They were in
Grand Forks and Fargo yesterday,
looking over the North Dakota situa
ton. Today they are in northern
Minnesota, and they will spend some
time tomorrow in the Twin Cities.
Madison. Nov. 6.-The La Toilette
money barreP will be well filled
when the time comes for the fight for
the Wisconsin delegation to begin in
the open.
Assurances to this effect have been
received by Speaker H. L. Ekern, Sec
rotary in charge of the La Toilette
for president executive committee. Or
iginally it was planned to raise a
fund of 100000, but many optimisti-
cally predict that it will 60 still
higher.
The money is being raised through
the efforts of the general committee
which was selected at the conference
here last week. Most of the commit
tee members, however, have known
for months that they probably would
be chosen, so that their canvassing
plans are being well carried out.
The effect of today's elections upon
the fortunes of Taft is being watched
with special interest by the support
ers of the Wisconsin senator and also
by those Taft boomers who have
leanings toward the thirdterm idea.

Grand Jury at WaverIy, la, After Al.

Waverly, Ia, Nov. 6.-The grand
jury that a few weeks ago indicted
fourteen members of the county med
teal association, alleging violation Of
the antitrust law, has reported addi-
tional indictments against DR.. w. A.
Rohlf and DR.. O. /. Chaffee on the
general ground of conspiracy Their
alleged offense resulted from their ad-
herence to the boycott feature of the
association agreement, which operated
to force an independent doctor from a
surgical case in which he as well as
one of the accused doctors had been
employed after he had refused to sign
the union scale.

a third of the city precincts in, the

NIGHT RIDERS
Killing the Tobacco Plants
in Stewart County.

Dover, Tenn, March 27.-The
night riders have made their ap-
pearance in this (Stewart) county
and are doing a great deal of dam
age to farmers. On Scott branch,
about Is miles from this place,
where large percentage of the to-
bacco of this county is raised, about
half of the plantbeds have either
been sOwn in grass seed, or burned.
The farmers are not blaming the
association for the night depreda-
lions, as both the members of the
association and the "Hill Billies"
have had their plant beds destroyed.
Last night G. w. Wallace and his
son, both Of whom are members of
the association, had four plant beds
destroyed by burning. 1t is very
easy matter to burn them, as the
beds are still canvassed, and all the
night rider has to do is to stick a
match to the canvas, and this kills
