terry surrounds the death here early yes

found on the Seaboard Air Line tracks

head completely severed and with an
ugly knife wound In his side. The general
theory is that young Hall was stabbed

view TO making his death appear acct

Young Hall was a son Of Mrs. N. r.

with the Gulf Line railroad here.

D|SMANTLE PLACES
Henry County Saloon Men
Have Given Up Hope of De-
feating Remonstrance.
COUNTY DRY DECEMBER 7.

New Castle, Ind, May 20.-SalOOn
men of this city, whose places have
been closed pending the hearing of the
blanket remonstranCe and who had
left their furniture and fixtures intact,
have given up hope of defeating the
remOnstrance since the ruling of the
court that signatures secured on Fri
day We're legal and are dismantling
their places. The saloon men held a
meeting today, which is considered TO
have been the last one for closing up
the affairs of the organization effected
by them late last summer to fight the
remonstrance.
Of the thirteen saloons in this city
last fall when the remonstrance was
filed, six are doing business. The last
one will close Dec. 7. and New Castle
will then be dry until Thanksgiving
day 1909. Not only will New Castle
be dry, but the entire county, as sa-
looms in Honey Creek and knights
town will also have closed by that
time through blanket remonstrance.

A KINGS DREAM.
Belief In the Vision Might Have
Changed History.

On June IL, 1915, Charles l. slept at
the little inn in Naseby village. Scouts
had brought fews of the approach Of
the parliamentary army. and the king
was resolved to give them battle.
In the middle Of the night the lords
Of the bedchamber, who slept in the
outer room. were disturbed by an ex-
traOrdinary noise in the kings room.
Upon entering they found Charles sit
lung bolt upright in his bed and in a
much excited state.
On asking what the noise was, the
king said be had heard no noise, but
that their entry had reused him from
an extraordinary dream. He said that
bed and implored him not to give bat
trously defeated as to threaten his
crown and even his life.
The next morning Charles told Prince
Rupert and his generals of his dream,
but declared that he would fight. They
in vain tried to dissuade him. In the
evening news arrived that the enemy
We're close at hand. That night Charles
again dreamed the same dream. STRAIT
ford warned him that it was the last
time he would try to help him.
The next morning the king led his
army out and by sunset he had lost
cannon. baggage and four-fifths Of his
troops and, as events proved, the war
as well.
Strafford's ghost was right. Had
Charles not met Cromwell at Naseby
it is quite likely he would not have
met his death at Whitehall.-Pearson' s

CONTEST IS LIKELY
Cities Will Fight for the Meth
odist Book Concern
When United.
ELECTION HELD TODAY.

Baltimore, Md. May 2O.-At a meet
ing of the Book committee of the
Methodist Episcopal church, held in
this city memorial was almost unan-
imously adopted, which, if passed by
the general conference. will cause the
book publishing business of the
church to be carried on under one roof
and in one city.
At present there are two big pub
fishing hOuses-One in New York City
and the Western one in Cincinnati. 1t
is proposed in the memorial to place
the publishing of books under the di-
rection of a board Of managers, and to
have one man at the head of the Meth
Odist Book Concern.
1t is probable that the publishing of
periodicals will be conducted by the
publishing house in Cincinnati. as the
Western city is centrally located, and
it was shown during a debate that the
periodicals could be better dispatched
from Cincinnati than from any other
point.
The memorial provides that vast
present trustees of the book concern,
and that it would be more prudent to
elect a board of managers to serve for
eight or twelve years than for a single
quadrennium. Depositories will be
established in cities where there are
none and a larger business will be con-
Quoted by the book concern. There is
likely to be a big contest in the gen
eral conference when the matter of Sc
lecting a city for the publishing bus
ness comes to an issue.
All interest now centers in the cleo
ton of Bishops, which takes place to-
day. All of the candidates for the
EpiscOpacy-that is the "sure-enOugh'
ones-have what the candidates of pol
itics would term headquarters"

DON'T UNDERSTAND
Superintendent Cotton Sees
Variance in School Enum-
GRAFTON Reports.
AN INVESTIGATION SOON.

Indianapolis. Ind, May 2o-A gain
in the number of school children
shown in some cities among them In.
dianapolis when a decrease is record
cd in other cities similarly situated
has led Fassett A. Cotton to the de
cisiOu that an investigation of the
school enumeration should be made
in all cities where il appears that the
gain is heavy. The common school
tuition fund. which amounts TO about
$1,20O,0oo semi-annually, is app0r
toned according to the enumeration
of school corporations. The greater
the number OF school children the
greater the fund received.
Mr.. Cotton wishes to see if there
have been any duplication as il is pos
sible for children in families who live
within one corporation but go t
school in another to have been emu
merated by both corporations, where
as they should be enumerated only by
the school corporation in which THEN
parents reside.

SHAkESPEARE'S TOMB.
Its Would Be Decorators and tho
Poets lmprecation.

The fact that would be desecra tors Of
Shakespeare's tomb have not dared to
risk the falling of the curse invoked in
the lines cut upon his tomb is a strik-
ing testimony to the powerful effect
upon mankind of such an imprecation.
J. o. Phillips, writing in
the eighties, said:
The nearest approach to an excava-
ton in the grave of Shakespeare was
made in the summer Of the year 1876
in diggin9 vault in the immediate To-
caity, when an opening appeared
which was presumed to indicate the
commencement of the site of the bard 8
remains. The most scrupulous care,
however, was taken not to disturb the
neigh boring earth in the slightest de-
gree, the clerk having been placed
there till the brick work of the adjoin-
ing vault was completed to prevent
any one making an examination. No
relics whatever were visible through
the small opening that thus presented
itself, and as the poet was buried in
the ground, not in a vault, the great
probability is that dust alone remains.
1t is not many years since phalanx
of trouble tombs, lanterns and spades
in hand, assembled in the chancel at
dead of night, intent on disobeying the
solemn injunction that the bones Of
Shakespeare We're not to be disturbed.
But the supplicatory lines prevailed.
There were some among the number
who at the last moment refused to in
cur the warning condemnation, and SO
the design was happily abandoned"
A correspondent OF the London Athe-
naeum wrote in 1881: Il remember on
a visit to the grave of Shakespeare in
1927 or 1928 remarking that it was lit
tie creditable to the authorities that
the raised covering to the tomb should
have been allowed to fall into such de-
cay, for l could see into the grave
through the hole formed by the sinking
of the stones. The reply was that, 'on
account of the anathema inscribed upon
the tomb, no workmen could be per-
suaded to NEEDLE with it."
An earlier incident is thus set forth
by a contributor to the Monthly Mag
azine Of Feb. /, 1918:
NOTWITHSTANDING the anathema pro-
nounced by the bard on any disturber
of his bones. the church wardens were
so negligent a few years ago as to
suffer the sexton in digging the ad
joining grave of Dr. Davenport to
break large cavity into the tomb of
Shakespeare. Mr.. - told the writer
that he was excited by curiosity to
&c -I
the cavity. that he saw the remains of
the bard and that he could easily have
brought away his skull, but was de
TERED by the curse which the poet In
voked on any one who disturbed his
remains
The attempt at later day to med
die with the tomb had no more effec.
tive ending.-New York Tribune.
