preme courts decision leaves Henry

This little island lies four niles
south Of Martha's Vineyard. It is in.

Mr.. Davis pays taxes on property as

In 1904 he moved to the island.
His children are 4, -. II, 10 and "a
years old. The ~12-year-old child is
the only one OF whom attendance at
school Is legally required.

that the children should go unedu-

or the educational short circuit would
have been complete. In the town Of
Chilmark there are several school
buildings and a library.
In answer to Mr.. Davis petition the
court said: 1.-THE. situation of the pc.
titioner and his children is an unfor-
tunate one. The statute requires him
to cause at least one Of them to at.
tend school,; he pays taxes to the
town to a considerable amount; there

he has fixed his residence and the

times impossible. But we can pass

Total Loss.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, July s.
George Brewster's tobacco ware
houses were destroyed by fire at /
O'Clock yesterday morning, and it is
the belief of Brewster and the author
tiles that the fire was Of inoendiary

been asked to investigate. It is be-
lieved here that the fire was started
by members Of the Kentucky night
riders, who are said to have come to
Wisconsin to bring the tobacco grow
ers not in the pool to time. Others
believe it vas set by a gang who
have set other buildings on fire dur
ing the past few weeks. The COM

nauts who sailed in the French bal
loon Vile de Dieppe Saturday from
Chicago in the endurance balloon
contest came to earth near Benton
Harbor, Mich., during the night after
having been dragged for miles along
the surface Of Lake Michigan.
They saved themselves from worse
fate only by throwing overheard every
movable thing In the balloon basket
and taking to the rigging.
They returned to Chicago yesterday
morning by train. Neither were in

skin and a sudden ascent to q height
Of 1000 feet chilled both occupants
of the balloon.
Schroeneck 10 only seventeen years
old and it was his first ascent. Col.
Mueller is an aeronaut Of experience
and that there was no loss Of life
was due entirely TO his GOODNESS and
ability.
OF the other balloons, the King Ed

MINNESOTANS INVADE CoNvEN-

"Nominate a Winner" Is the Cry.

Day Loads Procession for Sever
al Blocks.

Denver, July z.-"Nominate a win
ner..' was the magic word that gave
Denver its first thrill of Democratic
enthusiasm and caused the first real
commotion in the convention city
since the delegations began arriving
9 week ago.
Ten dozen valiant Minnesotans
shouted themselves hoarse for the ia
vorite son of the North Star State,
and at the same time aroused the
dormant enthusiasm of the Bryan
men, so that they gave their first
demonstration of enthusiasm for
their peerless leader"
That was a great demonstration.
Chicago saw nothing like it in the
pre-convention days, and even those
who shouted "Four, four, four years
more'' at the Chicago Coliseum did
not put more vigor into their efforts
than did the Minnesota men during
the half-hour demonstration at the
Brown Palace this evening. The ho-
tel lobby was packed and so were the
balconies around the lobby on the
second and third floors.
Everybody shouted for somebody.
1t made the delegates think that
there might be some old-time enthu-
siasm after all. The Minnesota spe-
cial arrived at $3.50, more than four
hours late. The delegation formed In
line and marched to the Brown Pal
ace hotel, the band leading. Here
they took possession of the lobby
and began their shout of Nominate
a winner" Frank A. Day headed
the procession, and in the hotel he
jumped up and down, shouting again,
Nominate q winner"
Nominate a winner" was their
only plea.
They shouted and shouted but they
did not shout alone. They were in
an enemy's camp and the enemy took
up the cry.
Nominate a winner we will" cried
the Bryan men.
49,. BACK to the woods" shouted 9th
But the Minnesota men were un-
daunted, and the 12O who came in the
party made noise enough to make the
delegates think that Johnson was the
real candidate.

man. THE latest trick Of my kid Is a
winner. but was sort Of rough on the
victim. which was our pet cat. About
three weeks ago we noticed that pussy
suddenly stopped eating and drinking.
All the choice bits of meat and dishes
of milk were left untouched.
For several days we explained 1t by
s,lpposing that the cat was getting more
than the ordinary number OF mice and
eating them to the exclusion Of our
offerings but we soon noticed that she
was becoming thin and gaunt and did
not seem inclined to move about and
purr as she used to. One day. after
two weeks Of this, | picked up the now
skeleton cat and began to stroke its
neck.
what do you think I found? A thin
rubber band stretched tightly around
the throat. concealed by the long fur.
1t just permitted the cat to breathe, but
she could not eat. | removed it and
now she is getting along all right.
When | asked the boy about it he said
he Just wanted to see If kitty would
strangle. If it had been anything else
but a cat it would have been dead in
no time"

The Red Spider.

In dealing with that troublesome lit
tie pest, the red spider, really sue
cessful remedy is found in some Of the
liquid tobacco or nicotine extracts,
now fairly numerous on the market.
They may be used either by vaporiza-
tion overhead, directly with steam
pressure, or by spraying cold dilutions
in water. They are rather costly and
must be handled with care, as they
are particularly deadly internal poison
to humans as well as animals, but are
effective when used according to direc =
tions and little harmful to even the
most delicate plants, states Rural New
Yorker. This remedy Is Of course eff
fective on less resistant insects, such
as aphids, thrips and scales. 1t does
not promise much as regards white fly
or outdoor scales, but we have good
remedies for these pests in hydrocyanic
gas and soluble oils.

Hawks and Poultry.

writer in the Scientific American.
declares that he effectually put an end
to the depreciation of hawks in his
poultry yard by fastening an old scythe,
ground to a razor edge. with the sharp
end down, on high pole set in the
edge of a field near his yards. The
hawks, as is their habit, lit on the
scythe, grasping it with their claws,
with the result that their feet were
badly cut. This angered them and they
attacked the scythe. literally tooth and
toenail, and of course got the worst of
it Every hawk that came along met
with a like reception. and within a
short time they were either killed or
driven away.

Improving Corn.


Realizing that the Improvement OF
corn Is matter Of concern to every
agricultural practitioner, because OF the
wide adaptability and general cultiva-
ton Of the cereal, the Virginia Agricul-
tural Experiment Station has publish
ed in bulletin Of nearly 100 pages
the results of experiments in that field.
In a general introduction the bulletin
says:
Investigations show very clearly
that the corn plant Is quickly affected
by the environment in which 1t is
placed and yields readily to selection.
so that the way for Improvement Is
open to all who will make systematic
study Of this important crop. The fact
that corn crosses so easily has resulted
in the development Of numberless So
called varieties or strains, and 1t Is
manifcstely impossible to effect perma-
nent Improvement in any Of these with
out first understanding their individual
peculiarities and the good and bad
points possessed by each.
Conservation leans to the belief that
without first studying them carefully
and eliminating the hundreds of unde-
sirable varieties and the thousands Of
useless individuals is a waste Of time,
and that more permanent good can be
effected by making basic study Of va
rieties, rejecting all those that do not
reach definite standard and then pro-
ceeding to Systematically improve
those that seem worthy Of extended
consideration"

Prussfan Suffrage Uprising.

The desire for manhood suffrage in
Prussia and the refusal of the German
chancellor, Won Buelow, to meet the de-
mand with consideration, eliminated last
Sunday in a tremendous demonstration
at Berlin. where more than 10000 So
cialists and their friends attempted to
parade the principal streets and to hold
public meetings. Prior to this a pro-
cession before the Parliament building
had been dispersed by the police with
great violence after the Landtag had
voted down the suffrage proposition with
out division Won Buelow had told the
Landtag that parades and riots would not
influence the government bit. Sternest
measures were taken to preserve order on
Sunday. large bodies of police and SOL
diers being stationed about the city. In
most cases the parades were broken up,
the police charging with swords and the
people resisting with clubs and stones,
so that many on both sides were injured.
Thousands of women joined in the demon
strations, marching and singing with the
men. Resolutions for the suffrage and
the secret ballot were passed by all the
meetings The movement extends through
out Prussia.
