Farmers Institute, March 18th.

There will be a session of the Min
nesota Farmers Institute at Red
wood Falls on Tuesday. March 17th.
The Farmers Institute is the
travelling school of agriculture for
the farmers of Minnesota. The In
stitutes have been in operation for
twenty years and the work is we'll
known over the entire state. The
instructors employed are practical
farmers who have made a success OF
their special lines of farming, and
who have the ability to go on the
platform and tell other farmers how
they have gone about their work.
They are all men who have learned
their work thru their own expert
ence and observation, and our farm
ers should not miss hearing them
and getting from them all the in
formation they can.
Farmers Institute Annual No. 20
will be distributed at the close OF
the morning session of the Institute.
This is a new book containing over
300 pages Of the best farm reading,
and every farm home should have a
copy Of it.
There will be two sessions of the
institute -one at 10 a. m. and the
other at 100 p. m. The meetings
are Away started sharp on time,
whether there be only one man in
the hall or two hundred. Those who
come late are sure to miss some.
thing good. Be on time for both
sessions, stay till the close, and then
say if it has not been worth whole
lot more trouble than it has taken
to attend.
1t is not intended that these meet
ings shall be for the benefit of the
men only, The women and young
people will always be interested in
what is being done. They are often
the ones who are more apt to take
hold of the improved methods that
are advocated and so lead the way
for the men of the family.
For the benefit Of those who can
not get up in the meeting and ask
questions a4box is always placed or
the platform into which questions
can be dropped concerning matters
that are of interest. This question
box is opened during the afternoon
session. and the answers to the ques
tions are very often most interest
| ing part Of the session.

The seventh district Republican
congressional committee met at
Willmar last Monday, to arrange
details for the nominating conven-
ton later, which bids fair to be
without contest. That the voters OF
the district are satisfied with the
record of A. j. Volstead is forgone
conclusion. and so far the name of a
single opposition candidate has not
been given publicity.

President Roosevelt last week fired
another of his splendid messages in
to congress, this time stirring them
up to lay the foundation of a perm
anent plan for improving the ma
tional water ways. The Missis-
sippi, our greatest natural highway,
is case in point. At one time the
traffic upon it was without a rival in
any country. The report shows
that commerce was driven from
the Mississippi by the railroads.
Throughout the country the rail
roads have secured such control of
canals.and steamboat lines, that to-
day inland waterway transportation
is largely in their hands. This was
natural and doubtless inevitable,
under the circumstances, but it
should not be allowed to be con
tinued unless under careful govern.

RUMORED CHANGES.
To Take Place in The Southern Ha'i-
 way Company.

To Take Place in The S0uthern Hafi-
 way Company.
 The following dispatch from Chatta- nooga comes under the head of "im- portant if true" So far there has been no sign of confirmation:
 "A visiting Eastern railroad man is responsible for the dissemination or what he considers well grounded rumor regarding one of the biggest changes in officials of the Southern railway ever made in the history or that road.
 According to his information. J. M Barr of Norfolk, Va., who was con nected with the management of the Jamestown Exposition, Is to be placed at the head, of that great system. MT. Barr is a former railroad official or recognized ability. having held the position of general manager or the Norfolk and Western and later presi- dent ana general manager of the Sea board Air Line.
 MT. Barr resigned his position some time ago to engage in the lumber busi- ness. It is said that MT, Barr is either to succeed Mir. Finley or have posi- tion next to that of President, which will practically place him in control of the road. It is said that the change will be made shortly after the first of the year.
 while diligent inquiry failed to con firm the story. it comes from several sources and Is accepted in some respon- sibIe quarters as based on fact.

JURY HAS THE CASE

 DECIDED.
WiIi Begin Deliberation on the yerss~s Today--Great Throng os Peo~ pie Hear Arguments of
 Lawyers.

Georgetown. ky. Jan. i.--Never. perhaps. in the history of the Scott County Court has such crowd pacyred the court room as that which crowded into the building today to hear former Congressman W. c. Owens and States Attorney Franklin close the Arguments in the fourth trial of Caleb Powers which has been in progress here for the past eight weeks.
 The building was wholly inadeutiafa to accommodate the crowd. men and women literally fighting for admission to the court room.
 Major Owens consumed the entire forenoon arguing upon the theory that Goebei was assassinated by Henry Youtsey, whom he designated as q murderous crank of tho Guifeau and Gzolgosz pattern who had committed the crime on his own responsIbility and of his own volition and that there was no conspiracy connected by Powers or anybody else
 When Commonwealth Attorney Frankling finished his speech tnia af- ternoon at 5:35 o'clock the jury went to dinner with the understanding that. they would decide whether they should begin their deliberations tonight or wait until tomorrow morning.
 Upon returning to the cousf room the jury reported to the court that by a vote of to 1t had been decided to wait until morning. Upon receiving this report Judge Morris adjourned court until tomorrow at 9 o'clock.

READY FOR DICK BILL
STATE ADJUTANT GENERAL IS
 PREPARING ORDERS NOW.
VIII He But Few Changes in Infantry Regulations, Hut New Commands VIII Be Established In
 Alabama.

Brigadier General Bibb Graves. Adju- tant General of Alabama. and Briga- dier General R. F. Ligon. Inspector General. of the Alabama National Guards. have been engaged for the past few days in preparing the order for the reorganization of the State troops in compliance with the Dick bill. which goes into effect January q.
 The orders have practically been completed. and will be put in the hands of the printer at once, so that they can be sent out in ample time for the information of the commanding officers of the different organizations, so that they can have their commands conform to the requirements.
 There will be many changes in the Alabama troops. especially in the stan departments. The new organization will be identically the same as that demanded of other States receiving government aid and equipment.
 One of the provisions of the new bill is for a signal corps to be estab. lished in this State. At present there Is no such organization in the state. For Alabama. two batteries of coast artillery and three batteries of field artillery are provided for, the latter to have a minimum membership of l33 men each, with five commissioned of dcers.
 There will be but few changes in the present organization of the Infantry regiments, except that the regulations as to the minimum number of men en- rolled is considerably more. strict, and demands that as many as fifty-eight enlisted men with three officers. shall comprise a company. The orders Will be issued within the next few days

Fine Point of Law for
 Officials to Decide.
TEST CASE MAY RESULT
Local Saloonkeepers Want Question
 Settled.
Question is whether or Not Saloons with Restaurant Attached, Will Have to be Closed Entirely
 At o'clock at Night.

Acting on the information that a very fine point of the law might be de- cided in their favor. several of the sa- loon men of the city who have restau- rants and pooirooms in connection with their places, decided to keep their places open tonight safter o'clock with the bar screened off as it is on Sunday. This was informally agreed upon by several of the saloon men and those who have not been keeping part of their places open on Sunday gave orders for screens to be delivered to- dav.
 While it is practically settled that these places will be open tonight after o'clock, 1t will not be finally decided upon until this afternoon when a meet ing of the saloon men will be held. Then they will decide which ones are to keep their restaurants and pool rooms open and what will be expected of each one in case, of an arrest. Only one prominent place will not open under any consideration, but from all that could be learned last night. this Is the only one who has not decided to keep open.
 What the result will be is a matter of conjecture. Chief of Police Taylor stat ed last night that he thought that this method would be within keeping of the Jaw and Mayor Teague, doubtful of the
 
 tyre for an opinion. This will be giv- en today. Mayor Teague stated last night that he still thought that there should be a blind screen in the places so that the bar would be entirely shut off from view, but as 1t was point of law, he had put 1t up to Mir. Mcintyre. The decision will be received before 9 o'clock tonight and 1t will be of vital importance as 1t will be final with the police department
 Should any differences arise between peace officers and the saloon men IL is entirely probable that 1t will come from the Sheriffs department. Whep Sheriff Hood was seen last night he had not yet been informed of the ac- tion of the saloon men yesterday. He stated that if they violated the law that he would promptly arrest them and that he would leave 1t to Solicitor Dent whether or not they could keep part of their places open after o'clock when the bar was screened by open netting. MT. Dent stated that he could not say what his opinion would be.
 Solicitor May He Adverse.
 While nothing can be said definitely concerning Mir. Dents opinion in the matter it Is surmised that he will de- eide against the saloon men. In his letter to the Sheriff a few days ago he said that the law should besebeyed' to the letter. It is generally thought that he is of the opinion that either a blind screen will have to be used or the places closed entirely.
 The portion of this law that Is troub- ling the saloon keepers is the part

DENIED
DECISION RENDERED. IN GEORGIA
 PROHIBITION CASE.
pr.tntisf.s Lawyers Say This Decision Does Not Throw Case Out of Court. But Wiu Be
 Heard Later.

Atlanta. Ga. Jan. 1.-The most not. able feature of the first day or prom bition in Georgia was the retusai Q. .Judpe W. P. Newman in the United States Circuit Court to grant an in1unc- tion pending iitigation which would prevent the putting into enect or the prohibition law.
 Paners in the case were filed late Tuesday on behalf of two breweries, one in Chattanooga and the other m Cincinnati. Judge Newman simply filed A memorandum reading as fot- lows:
 After careful consideration. an in- function pendente lite will not De granted. This being true. 1t Is unnec- sary to call on the defendants to show cause.
 The lawyers for the plaintiffs in the ease told the Associated Press tonight that the decision of Judge Newman did not have the effect Of throwing the nroceedings out of court. but that the case would come up In the regular or der of business. and it was expected that it would be ready Tor tr'ai III about two months.
 Tn the meantime. prohibition is in effect in every district of Georgia. . Notwithstanding predictions that the enforcement of the law on the nrst day of the new year which is recog- nized holiday in all parts of the state. would bBing about disturbances, there was not the slightest disorder.
 The saloon men in Atlanta evidently believed that the legal aspect of the situation will not have the effect Of putting them back into business. for they were busy today ripping out fix lures and carting their goods to store houses or to railroads for shipment to States where liduor is allowed to be sold.
 Under the law. the defendants tn the action against the prohibition bill, VIII have until March in which to demur or file an answer. This leaves the whole matter in abeyance until that tna.

FOUR MURDERERS
NOW IN COUNTY JAIL AWAITING
Four Others Confined Here for Safe kecpfng--Three Montgomery County Prisoners Men
 and Ono Woman.

When the County grand jury meets Tn February there will be at least four murder cases for the jurors to inves- tigate, all among negroes. It Is possi- ble that there will be more as there is still six weeks until the grand jury meets and usually there is murder in Montgomery County every six weeks. Since the July. term of court there have been four V fch makes an average of one nearly every month.
 or the four cases to be investigated one charge of murder is against wo- man. It is Lizzie Atkins. who is charged with Killing a negro butcher The men are John Price. Bethel Mitch- ell and Preston Payne. Price is charged with killing another negro in Peacock Tract about month ago while Bethell Mitchell killed . negro boy named Wesley Taylor on the Tyson place about two weeks ago. Mitchell will try to prove seif-defense, it is ex- pected, ion he does not deny killing the boy. Preston Payne is charged with killing negro woman.
 The three men are in jail. Besides these three there are four other pris- oners in the Jail who are charged with murder, one of whom has received his sentence. Wade Hampton Hunter, who was convicted at the last term of court, Is there. Bill Rigsby is there for safe keeping until his case is heard again at wetumpka. and J. Finley Howard. who is here from Covington County. for safe-keeping. The last three are white men. John Washington. a negro, has been sentenced to ten years and Is in jail awaiting the action of the Su- preme Court.
 Although there are not many pris- oners in jail just at present seven men charged with murder is not a bad rec ord and those in charge are happy thaet they do have to watch these men in the old Jail. e
