 However, my eyes were mainly busy with the psychic, whose actions impress ed me deeply. He had the air of an anx- ious man undergoing a dangerous ordeal. His right hand was stretched stiffy to- ward the phantom, his left was held near his heart his knees seemed to tremble, and his body appeared to be irresistibly drawn toward the cabinet. Slowly, watch fully. fearfully he approached the phan- tom.

REVIEW OF SCHOOL WORK
 FOR THE COMING YEAR
By HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, September L2.-(SpeciaL)- With the difficulties attendant upon the change of books, the establishment of a number of new high schools and the gen. eral confusion incident to any definite pe- riod in the educational progress of the state, there has been some little delay in getting down to work on the part of the schools this fall.
 However. the difficulties are being over come, and within the next few days it is anticipated that every section of the school work in the counties will have gotten fully under way. The change of books by the textbook commission has caused more or less difficulty, because the teachers and school officers have not in many cases fully acquainted themselves with the situation.
 Slow delivery on the part of transporta- ton companies has also had something to do with the general delay, but, as a matter of fact, there does not seem to be any reason for fear but that the school year beginning about now will be as sue eessful-in fact, much more successful than any in the history of the state.
 There has been much talk in the papers with regard to the delay in supplying the books, and as a result, more or less crit leis,n O. l4a1se Wl 0 a.. .aasea l.l .ae conduct of this side of the situation. Te be perfectly honest, no one is to blame, and the deiay is simply that which seems almost certain to attend any radical change in the administration of the schools.
 The order of the state superintendent allowing the use of old books until the new ones are al hand eliminates any trou- bleS or difficulties and does away with the possibility that real injury may come to the work. The books are now being sent out rapidly to the various county de- positories, and the teachers and pupils familiarizing themselves with them at a rapid rate.
 Many New Movements.
 Along the line of school work Alabama is taking on this year number of new things with which all hands will have to become acquainted The county high schools are the most important and will require the most serious and careful con- sideration It is anticipated that while the course of study based upon 14 units, al ready blocked out, will, in the main. prove satisfactory, it is quite certain that changes will be necessary in order to make the institutions highly effective as desired.
 It was hoped by many that uniform courses of study could be applied to the agricultural and the high schools alke, but this was found to be impossible, be- cause of the special stress laid upon sci entifc agriculture and many of the me ehanical arts in the agricultural schools. However, it is generally believed that after a conference. which is now going on between men of both classes of schools, a system will be adopted all along the line that will not only prove satisfactory and of maximum benefit, but at the same time dovetail into the colleges at the top and the common schools below.
 Some Census Results.

PROTESTS MADE IN VAIN

London, September 12--The agitation by the extreme Protestants against the pro- cession to be held tomorrow in connection with the Eucharistic congress has ap- parently ended with forcing the govern ments hand. The announcement that Premier Asqulth had intervened in the matter and that as a consequence there had been some modification of arrange ments was made tonight at mass meet ing in Albert Hall, where it caused an uproar. The meeting was exclusively for men, and it was attended by about 10000.
 As soon as Cardinal Vannuteli, the papal legate, who was accompanied by the usual brilliant array of cardinals and bisheps, took the chair, Archbishop Bourne arose and said that he had a statement to make which would be source of disappointment and pain. He had received a communication from Pre- mier Asquith on Thursday deprecating Sundays procession and advocating it's abandonment. This announcement was greeted with groans and cries of Shame" by the assemblage.
 Archbishop Bourne continued that he had replied to MT. Asquith that he could not act on a private intimaton, where upon the premier answered that the com municatlon was purely confidential and must not be published. The archbishop insisted that if a change in the proposed programme was necessary MT. Asquith must take the responsibility of making public request.

Walked -Four Miles in Her Sleep.

Miss Stella Ashby, living nearCen-
tertown, this county, walked from her
home to the residence Of her uncle, S.
L. Barnes, a distance of four miles,
while she was asleep. She had dream
ed that she and her two. sisters had
gone to church. When she awoke she
was lying on her uncle's porch. On
hearing her cries members of the fam
lily went to the door and found her
shivering from contact with the cold
night air. She Immediately asked,
"Where am /, and how came l here?'
Her uncle went at once to her home
arriving there about daylight. Her alb
sence had not yet been discovered by
Ter parents. On his return home Mr.
Barnes followed the girls tracks in the
middle OF the public road-this being
easily done owing to the dust.

A MAN KILLED
Near Dundee, this County, Last
Saturday, in a Quarrel
Over Tie Poles.

Emless Wade was shot while work
ing in his tobacco patch last Friday
morning and died from the wounds
about 1880 o'clock Saturday night.
AS detailed by eye witnesses II
seems that Elijah Grove and his
son, Roy Grove and nephew, Murray
Grove, went to where Mr.. Wade and
his wife were working in a tobacco
patch, on Mr.. Wade's farm and with
out word of warning, after the usual
salutation good morning, Roy Grove
who is IS years old, drew a 50 calibeT
pistol and fired, the ball piercing
Wade's arm. Wade turned and ran with
the three Groves in pursuit, Roy fir
Ing at him as he ran, five bullets
taking effect. Wade ran about 27J
yards 10 where Mr.. John H. Foreman
was working in a cane patch and on
emerging from a strip of woods be-
tween the two fields, Wade called to
Mr.. Foreman, who ran and caught him
as he was falling to the ground. Soon
after he reached Wade the three
Groves emerged from the same strip
of woods and came up to whereWade
was and Lige Grove, it is said, re-
marked C d you, Emless, why
didn't you do what you said you
would" whereupon his son, is said
to have taken hold of his fathers arm
and told him to "come on we have
done enough"
Wade was taken to his house and
z physician was summoned, but it
was soon seen that he could not re-
cover. 1t seems that all three of
the men went direct to Dundee and
surrendered TO Esq. Dean and they
were placed in the hands of Mr.. H..
c. Acton. the Constable, who guard
cd them until Sunday morning when
they were brought to town by him
and lodged in Jail. The examining
trial was set for yesterday morning
but on calling the case the defend
ants announced not ready and the
case was continued until next We'd
nesday.
The defendants had leased a piece
of tobacco ground from Wade and had
asked Wade to put some tierpoles in
a certain barn and he, not complying
as quickly as they thought he should

But 1t is said that only the even
ing before the defendants together
with Mr.. Wade and others were en-
gagged in a social watermelon eating
and everybody seemed in a perfectly
good humOr. The killing took place

borhccd, this county. The defendants

IMPORTANT HINTS
TO THE VOTERS
In the Matter of Casting
Their Suffrage.
READ THEM AND MARK WELL
What the Republican Party
Has Done and Also
Failed to Do.

Before casting your vote with the
Republican party, remember some Of
these things:
First-The failure Of the Republican
party to take steps to provide for cleo
ing Senators by popular vote, and
the refusal of the Republican conven-
ton to endorse the reform.
Second the failure OF the Repub-
lican Congress to pass a bill providing
for publicity of campaign contribu-
lions and the refusal of the Republic
an convention even to endorse the re-
form.
Third--The failure of the Republic
an Congress to pass a postal savings
bank bill and the hypocrisy of the
party in endorsing this reform, which
it had just ignored in Congress.
Fourth-The passage by the Repub-
ncan Congress Of q currency bill
which enables speculative banks to
convert all sorts of securities into
currency and actually reduces the mar
gin Of safety for depositors instead
Of increasing it. :,
Fifth-The destruction Of represent
-tative government in the lower house,
where the Republican speaker and his
committee on rules have all power
and not even a majority can get
vote on a popular bill if the speaker
refuses consent.
Sixth-The forty-nine per cent. In
crease in the cost of living under the
Republican Dingley tariff and its
trusts, while wages have increased
only nineteen per cent.
Seventh-The refusal of the Repub-
lican congress to amend this tariff
although its iniquities are admitted
and future revision has been reluct-
antly promised by its friends after the
storm is over.
Eighth-The notorious fact admit
ed by SenatorAldrich, Republican lead
er in the senate, that American tariff
protected concerns sell their products
abroad in competition with European
factories at lower prices than they
exact from American consumers and
the refusal of the Republican house OF
representatives TO adopt an amend
ment 10 have our government agents
report on these prices.
Ninth-The Republican leaders pre-
tend they favor a tariff sufficient only
to compensate factories for the diff
ference between labor cost in Ameri-
ca and abroad, but the fact is that
the Republican tariff is more than
sufficient to pay the whole labor
cost. On steel products the labor COST
fifteen per cent. and the tariff is
thirty-two per cent.-[CommOner.

FLAG RAISING At
PLEASANT RIDGE
Was Attended by a Large
Crowd of Citizens.
FIRST GUN OF THE CAMPAIGN
Great Enthusiasm Mani
fested-Large Pole With
Rooster at Top.

The first guns in the Democratic
campaign were fired at Pleasant
Ridge. An immense flag pole, sew
casion being a Democratic flag rails
ing and rally. Dixon L. Merritt and
James Weir were the speakers for
the occasion. One of the largest
crowds ever seen at a speaking at
country place in Daviess county
was present The speakers COM
manded the closest attention and
liberal applause.
The meeting was held in a grove
adjacent to the town of Pleasant
Ride. An immense flag pole, sew
enty-five feet high, surmounted by a
big Democratic rooster, had been
erected, and a handsome flag was
raised during the exercises.
Mr.. Weir, who had the first speech,
discussed in all able manner many Of
the live issues of the campaign. He
urged upon his hearers the neces-
sity of organization in order that the
most effective work may be accom-
plished, and expressed the hope that
strongBryan andKern club be main
tanned at Pleasant Ridge.
AS the big flag floated from the
top of the mammoth pole, Mr.. Mer-
rift paid a tribute to the flag, fol-
lowing it from Valley Forge and
Kings Mountain to New Orleans and
the Alamo, and finally saying. las
the pioneers conquered the wilder
ness, foot by foot, graphing single
handed and alone with the dusky
warriors Of the forest in all their
treacheries; as they felled the forrest
and titled the field;as they built the
school house and raised the modest
church to the worship of the living
God, that flag stCCd always on the
fartherest frontier where civiliZa-
ton had pushed an OUTPOST, until 1t
waved at last over the fairest land
and the happiest people in all the
tide of time"
The speaker then declared That the
flag no longer waves overa free people,
but over 3 country in which an empire
is insiduously erecting itself on the
ruins of the republic and predicted that
unless the Democracy is speedily re-
stored to power, free government will
be lest on this continent. He closed
with AN earnest appeal for whole-heart-
ed, active support of the Democratic
ticket in the campaign now being
waged.

ed music for the occasion.-[Owens-

OF ALL THE FAIRS
OURS IS THE BEST
The Great Ohio County
Fair This Week.
BEGINS TO-DAY---fOUR DAYS
Everybody COming-Eyery-
thing Points to the Best
Fair Ever Held.

To-day will see the beginning OF
the great Ohio County Fair, the most
universally observed and enjoyed
event next to Christmas that comes to
the people of the county, and in fact
the surrounding counties. The Fair
will continue four days. 1t promises
much in the way of entertainment.
Ohio County Fairs have always been
famous for their large attendance and
the enjoyment of all those who come,
but this year extra pains have been
taken to insure the pleasure of the
people.
About the best chit" the Fair Com
pany ever made was in securing the
Kennedy Wild West Show, which will
appear tomorrow and next day. This
is a splendid attraction and decidedly
new in this section of country. There
is no extra charge 10 see it-only the
small admission fee at the gate. For
particulars, see the program in big
ad. on the third page of The Herald
to-day.
DIR. Beams Moving Picture Show
will be on the ground and give contin-
uous performances. The pictures rep
resent scenes as they transpire in real
life and are as thrilling as they are
realistic The big graphophone will
also be on hand, with popular band
music and song records.
The Merry-go-round will also be
there for the amusement and pleasure
of the little folks-and older ones, too,
There will be side-shOws and other
forms Of amusement-plenty TO see
and enjoy, whichever way you turn.
The ever popular Cannellton Qndi-
anal Band will make music through
out each day in the band stand OPP
posite the amphtheater This is the
same band that furnished the music
for the Fair several years ago,which
was SO much enjoyed. They come
with new music and additional menu
bers this year, and are better prepar-
ed than ever to entertain the public.
There are a large number of race
lnorses in the stalls at the grounds
and more are coming The prospects
are for a better display of fine stock
this year than ever before. The fine
large purses 200 in alp which are
hung up by the Company are suffi-
cient inducement to bring the swiftest
filters the country affords. The entries
in Floral Hall will be more than up
to the usual display, and unusual in
terest is being shown along this
line.
Every indication points to an unu-
sually large attendance and a good
Fair.
Don't fail to attend the great Ohio
County Fair, September 9, TO-, IL and
10.
