The Yale varsity eight took a row
up Quinniplac river yesterday after
noon and their work was watched with
interest. They rowed well and while no
attempt to make fast time was made
the oars splashed the water very little
and the men rowed in good form. The
boat ran just above the Grand avenue
drawbridge and then the crew took a
short rest, made the turn and came
down the river.

Our sister town of Salisbury
was thrown into wild excitement
when Reverend Father Joseph
F. Lubeley, pastor of the St.
Joseph's German Catholic
church, was stabbed by Joseph
Schuette,1a parishoner, with a
knife. High mass had been
sung, the congregation dismissed
and the pastor was standing in
the door of the edifice in full
view Of 400people, when Schuette,
who is a prosperous farmer,
rushed up behind the clergyman
and stabbed him twice, once in
the right temple and once in the
right side of the neck, the knife
just missed the jugular vein. and
then turned the sharpened knife
upon Mrs. Barbara Ginter whose
hand was cut open and Gerald
Goetz, cut on the arm, who had
rushed to the priests aid.
When Father Luberley reeled
and fell, the congregation realiz.
ed what had taken place. Wo.
men screamed in terror and some
tainted, and q dozen men
pinioned Schuette to the floor al.
though the infu:iated man strug.
gled desperately and refused to
be quieted. /,
Drs. Wilfred Baker and Franks
lin Weloh were summoned and
pronounced the wounds as not
fatal unless complications set up.
The priest was given temporary
relief and placed aboard the
Wabash express ct liza p. n.
and taken to the st. Mary's
hospital at st. Louis, accom-.
panied by the physicians and his
cousin, Miss Tillie Lubeley:
VINO IL also his house.. s.keeper.
One version Of the affair is that
Father Lubeley publicly re-.
primanded Schuette for attacking
John Legendre, member of the
congregation, Saturday. This
the preacher denies, stating that
he said nothing in his sermon
rejecting upon his assailant.
The priests wounds are pain.
full, but are not necessarily dan.
gerous unless complications
should set up that may cause
blood poisoning.
Schuette was arrested and re.
leased on $500 bond by Justice j.
r. Mason to appear for trial
Wednesday.
Schuette appeared before JUS.
tice j. R. Mason Wednesday,
waived preliminary hearing and
entered into bond'of $500 for his
appearance at the September
term of the circuit court at Sails

ALetter From Colorado.

B. Oldham, an old Charlton
county boy, who was reared up
about Musselfork, writes as fol-
lows from Colorado:
CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, MAY %.
Mr.. G. P. VANDIvER,
Keytesville, Mo.
DEAR FRIEND will write
you . few lines to let you know
how Colorado is flourishing. /
am now living in Cripple Creek,
I own some real estate here and
mining stock and had to come up
to look after it. Have rented
out my property In LaJunts and
I would like for you to send my
paper to Cripple Creek, Colo,
instead of LsJunts, Cello. My
No. is 221 East Carr avenue.
Cripple Creek is sending out
more gold now than it ever has.
They are building a lot of sinite
mills, and all oar will be treated
in the camp. They can handle all
their low grade oar here in the
camp. They are driving a tun.
mel that is going under all the
deepest mines in the camp at a
cost of between $1,000, 900 and
81, 100000.
Some of the mines are 1890
feet deep and the water got so
strong they could not pump it,
80 they has to drive a tunnel.
This is one place in Colorado
that the panic did not hurt.
There had not been any rain in
the Arkansas valley this spring
until the present time. They
have water in the river now to
irrigate with. There has been q
large acreage of sugar beets put
out this year, and the whole
Arkansas valley is on a boom.
They are still building sugar
factories. They are going to
build an electric railroad this
summer from Canon City to
Garden City, Kas., right down
the valley. They are also going
to put in pumping stations, one
at Canon City, one at LaJunta
and one at Garden City, Kas.,
to pump water to the high land.
The water will all be pumped
by electricity and new ditohes
will be built on high lands.
This will bring several thousand
acres of dry land under cultiva-
tion that is now dry, waste land.
When this land is putt into cuiti.
walton it will be worth from 500
to 5000 per acre.
l will close by saying I hope
that all Democrats in Charlton
county will vote for Bryan, and
at least half of the Republicans
I remain,
