sudden resignation of Prof. McBeath,

ton OF Prof. McBeath caused DR.. Kel,

ton with the board Of trustees and
the county uperintendent-thls ques-
ton of a successor for Prof McBeath.

Scarcity of labor is the report from all sections. We have reports from large number of uncounted towns that show very much lighter stocks than last year"

M. PETKOFF
 MEETS DEATH Bulgarian Premier Shot
 at Capital ASSASSIN WAS UNKNOWN
Chatting With Other High Govern
 ment Dignitaries.
He was Leader of The stambouion Party, and Was with The Prime Minister When He Was
 Killed.

Sofia, Bulgaria, March 11--M. Pet kof, the Premier and Minister or ln- terior, was assassinated' here today.
 M. Petkoff, with other ministers. was talking in the Thoris Garden, when he was attacked by an unknown man, who fired at him with a revolver. The Pre- mier was wounded by three bullets and died instantly. M. Geumadtiefr, the Minister of Commerce, who was one of the ministers accompanying M. Pet koff, was wounded in the arm.
 M Petkoff was the leader of the Stambouloff Party. and had been Pre- mier and Minister of the Interior since November 5, 1906. He was with Stam- boulofr when the latter was assassinat-. ed, July Is, 1895, three months after his dismissal from the Premiership. They were returning In the evening to M Stambouloffs residence in carriage from a club when they weer stopped by three or four men armed with knives and pistols.
 Stambouloff leaped, to the ground in order to defend himself. but was over- powered and received over twenty wounds in the head and about the body. The severity of his wounds necessitat- ed the amputation of both hands and resulted in his death, July IS.
 It was reported at the time of the as- 'sassination that Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria was implicated in the crime. and the extreme hostility of the Prince towards the great Bulgarian statesman was alleged to have facilitated. If It did not actually invite, the conspiracy which culfninated in the murder.

WILL NOT TDRAW LINE
POsT0FFICE DEPARTMENT KNOWS
 NO RACIAL DIFFERENCE.
White Railway MRiK Clerks Will Be Compelled to Eat and sleep In Same Car With
 Negroes.

Washington. March 1.-The Post office Department does not intend to draw the color line in the matter of white and negro railway mail clerks working together on the same runs
 Although an intimation has been given the Superintendent of the rail- way mail service that white clerks in the Middle West are preparing to re- quest the department to effect change so as to put the negroes on runs which will not bring them in proximity to the whites, 1t was stated today that no such discrimination could or would be made.
 The particular objection which it Is said the white clerks have in the as- sociation with negroes on long runs is that they are obliged to eat and sleep in the same car. the regulations of the Department permitting a clerk on such run when his work is up to rest. At certain terminals there are provided dormitories in public buildings where the clerks may stay If they see fit to do so. but they are open to the negro clerks as we'll as the whites. and the department does not see wherein 1t has any province in the matter.

 Ix Deny the story.

Ix Deny the story. Washington, March 11--State depart snent officials are emphatic In their de- nial of reports that President zelaya of Nicaragua forced MT. Merry, the Amer lean minister to Nicaragua, Costa Ri- ca and San Salvador. out of Nicaragua and offered him insult of seriou na- ture at the time of Mir. Merry's visit to Managua, the Nicaraguan capital three weeks ago.
 It is admitted by the state depart ment that MT. Merry was not able to ef- feet a settlement of the Well claim, but the department has no knowledge of any friction between Mir. Merry and President Zelaya.
 Senor Corea and the Nicaraguan min ister, called upon Assistant Secretary Bacon at the state department today to discuss Central American affairs. He stated positively that there had been no friction between MT. Merry and President zelaya such as reported and in confirmation he had a dispatch stating that Mir Well, the concession aire denied that any such thing had happened.
 Mir. Corea showed the following dis patch from the Nicaraugan consul at New Orleans to MT. Bacon:
 .sAfr Samuel Well, Q resident here, saws he accompanied Mi lister Merry ] oII his railroad trip from Managua to Corinto in the presidentaI car, gallant ly offered by President Zelaya. Until he sailed, Mir. Merry was the object of full attention from Nicaraguan author ities.

 Puerto Cortez, Honduras, March r. via New Orleans, March 1.-The fol- lowing telegrams describing the fight ing of the last two days between Hon duras and Nicaragua were received here today:
 san Pedro, Sula, March s.--An ex- ploring party of Honduras troops att tackled the enemy in considerable mum bers at Namasigue. capturing three ad yanced positions dislodging them from the town and driving them from the vicinity. The losses of the Nicaraguan forces were numerous, for in their flight they presented disorganized mass which made a good target for the Honduras troops.
 "The Hondurean attacking column was small. advancing under command of Colonel Leecado Lardizabel in the face of an artillery fire.
 Rifles, ammunition and stores were captured in considerable quantities. So completely did the Nicaraguans disband in their flight, that although number ing several hundred. they were power less to return even within close prox- imity to Namasigue. The fighting lasted four to five hours without mate rial loss to the Honduraneans."
 "Cholute, March This morning the Nicaraguau forces, attempting reprisal for our capture of Namasigue yester- day, attacked our cavalry in Yuaguare. but were repulssd Every one of these brilliant charges augments the enthu- siasm of our forces.
