what / said a year ago, that with all

il is important and necessary to con

The location of Cairo Is such that
1t is difficult TO control the different
classes of people coming into the city
being as it is the most important
river station in the Ohio and Missis-
sippi valleys, 1t attracts an unusually
large portion of what is known as
floating population" The efforts OF
the police force TO control the trans
lent visitors to the city, as well as
their efforts in ferreting out crime
and furnishing the offenders is worthy
of special mention at this time 1t Is
a pleasure to call your attention to
the good work that has been accom-
plished by them in getting rid OF un.
desirable persons and capturing VIC

Arrested for Killing Woman in
Boarding House.

Chicago, Oct 12.-Luman G. Mann,
% years old, the son of wealthy bust
ness man residing in Oak Park, has
been arrested on a warrant charging
him with the murder of Mrs. Fannie
Thompson, who was found strangled

body was found the hands and feet
were securely tied and cord had been
drawn about her throat. 1t was learned

ed as a servant in the home of o. c..
Mann, the father of the prisoner, sew
eral months prior to her death, but no
suspicion was cast upon Mann. Mann

ing house, who had conversed with him
several times.

WOMAN
PLEADS FOR RACE
Remarkable Incident at w. C..
T. u. Convention.


One of the most remarkable incidents
in connection with the state convention
of the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union which was in session at Bedford
last week, was the appearance of Miss
Martha McCurdy, of this city, on the
rostrum. Miss McCurdy was the first
colored woman to have been selected as
delegate to a state convention. She
was sent by the Wayne county union.
She took the platform and made an
eloquent and impassioned plea to her
white sisters for the uplifting of her
race. She made a special plea for
the salvation of the colored women,
saying many of them are becoming ad-
dicted to the trink habit and are suf-
fering ruin as the direct consequence.
Miss Mary E. woodward, of Fountain
City, corresponding secretary, in her
report, touched on the local option law
passed by the special session of the leg
islature, and thought it was step for
ward In the right direction, but did not
touch the brewer and distiller. The
fight for temperance. according to the
report, would be continued until the IL
quor traffic was driven from the state
and the nation.

KILLING FROST
COVERS GROUND
Thermometer Goes to Twenty
eight Degrees.

A frost of the kind that kills lowered
over the earth last night and this
morning the ground was covered as if
by mantel of snow. 1t was dispelled
rapidly by the encroaching rays OF the
sun and the mercury took an upward
course through it's tube. Twenty-eisht
degrees was the mark registered. A
thin coating of ice formed over the sur
face of small pools. A few such frosts
will make walnuts ripe" and then the
kids will be in their glory, and the
drawing teachers in their agonies over
stained hands and soiled books.
Except for short while on Wednes-
day, the weather man sent his best as
a token of his esteem for the fall fes-
tival of last week. He can be forgiven
his naughty actions of Wednesday as
he accomplished no real harm. Every
day of the week but Wednesday and
Saturday was clear. Wednesdays pre-
cipitation amounted to 20 of an inch,
and that of Saturday .O2 of an inch
Sunday and Monday ran a dead heat
for daily range, each registering a 81
degree heat. The daily range was:

.tRB FUNERAL
SERVICES HELD
Wife Refused Permission to
Attend.

Philadelphia, Oct 12.--With all the
pomp and ceremony which full COM
pany of the National Guard and regi-
mental band can lend to such an occa-
sion, the funeral of Capt. J. Clayton
Erb, who was shot and killed by his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Katherine Beisle, at
his home, Red Fables, in Delaware
county, last Tuesday night, was held
Sunday from his late Philadelphia
home, 1886 South Thirteenth street. He
was buried in West Laurel Hill ceme-
terry beside the grave of his mother.
The funeral was one of the largest
held in this city in recent years, and it
took more than two hours for the vast
body of prominent men from all parts
of the city and state who attended the
funeral to pass through the room
where lay the body of the murdered
man.
In the services preached by Rev. /.
c. Hoffman, the Erb family pastor,
there was no direct mention of the sud-
den manner of the captains death, nor
of the widow and sister-in-law, both of
whom are in the Media Jail, awaiting
the grand jury's Indictment.
Although the attorneys for Mrs. Erb
made repeated efforts to have her re-
leased to attend the funeral, they were
unsuccessful, and the only near rela-
tives present were three sisters and a
brother-in-law.

LEFT $4,000 If
She DID NOT MARRY
Is II Hard for SchoOImarm to
Keep From It?

Greenwich, Conn, Oct 12.-Miss Eu-
genia Warren, the Coscob school
teacher to whom the late Mrs. Juliette
Murray left the income of $4,000 with
the proviso that she should not marry
said today that she would forfeit the
income.
II think" she said, "that Mrs. Muir
ray In making her will as she did only
intended to provide for me for life in
case should never marry. She prob
ably relied on my good sense and as
sumed that would not be foolish
enough to marry man whose income
was less than the income named in the
will. I have lived with Mrs. Murray
several years and think she became
fond Of me. She was very sweet
woman and never bore grudge
against any one much less the whole
masculine sex. Her husband wac AL
fred J. Murray, a very wealthy New
York lumber merchant, who died about
ten years ago."
Miss Warren's home is in Bridge
port, Conn, but she has been teaching
in Coscob for the past three years.
She says that she will continue to
teach there as before.

some difficulty owing to a gusty wind
and too much ballast. But eventually
1t shot up and reached high altitude
in an incredibly short period, the bas-

arose from the spectators when they
saw the silk collapse and they shout
ed, "The balloon is ripping up"

''They are killed" went in a hush

ly the remainder of the envelope ap-
peared to take first triangular shape
and then it was transformed into a
sort of parachute at the top of the
net.

meanwhile being swept by the wind
far to the southeast. Finally it dis
appeared from view behind block OF

crowd was terrible. But a few min

received from Friedman which an
nounced that the men had not been
seriously injured. A great sigh of re-
lief went up among the people, who
threw their hats in the air for joy.
Third Race for Bennett Trophy.
This is the third international bal
loon cup race for the James Gordon
Bennett trophy. The first was held at
Paris in 1906 and was won by Lieut..
Frank P. Lahm of the United States
cavalry, by flight of 402 miles. The
second started from ST. Louis in Octo-
Der, 1907. 1t was won by the German
balloon Pommern piloted by Oscar
Erbsloeh. The Bennett trophy is val
ued at $4,000 and the conditions call
for the longest single flight, measur-
ed on an airline. The cup must be
defended by the winner at an inter.
national contest held the folIowing
year and it must be won three times
in succession before passing to a per
manent holder.

Right to Grant Rebates.
Among the other railroad cases in
yoIving the interstate commerce law
are several touching the right Of rail-
road companies to grant rebates. One
of these is the famous proceeding
against the New York Central railroad,
which was fined $1O8,OOO on the charge
of granting rebates to the American
Sugar Refining company, and another
against the same road to determine the
responsibility of a road which is not
the initiatory carrier for rebates grant
ed on shipments made partially over
it's line. There is also rebate case
against the Chicago and Alton COM
pany, which is expected to determine
the question as to what constitutes ter
minal facilities and the right of rail-
road company under the law to grant
rebate to shippers who supply them.
Kindred to the railroad cases are
number against express companies, in
stituted by the government for the pur-
pose of determining their right under
the interstate commerce law to issue
franks. The government contended In
these cases that the issuanc e of frank
by an express company was contrary to
the law prohibiting the granting of
passes, and the lower courts sustained
this contention. The express companies
will ask the supreme court to reverse
the finding.
The docket as it stands now contains
number of suits affecting state rail
road laws, among them being the con-
troversies which have arisen between
the railroads of Virginia and the cor
poration commission of that state rel
alive to the viladity OF the two-cent
passenger rate which the commission
established for that state. There also
is case from Kentucky, involving the
same principle, but it has not yet been
put upon the advanced docket.

Woman Uses Gun in Seeking
Revenge.

It is believed in this city that the
real estate agent named Kessler, who
was intended as the victim of a re-
volver shot by Edna Magley, at Indian
apolis, Saturday afternoon, probably
was Elijah E. Kessler, formerly Of this
city. The woman saw Kessler in a
crowd at the traction terminal station
and fired. Kessler ran and she pursued
him, firing again. The woman was
overpowered and Kessler escaped.
The woman claimed Kessler had
swindled her out of $25, which she had
given as forfeit in real estate deal.
She said she met him at the station
and asked for the money, but he re-
fused and tried to evade her. There
upon she drew her revolver and fired.

rest by Indianapolis police.

After awaiting the outcome of the
case against him in city court, and
making protracted investigation of
his fitness, the county commissioners
have granted liquor license to George

owing to circumstances. Muey plead
guilty to the charge of selling liquor on
Sunday and paid his fine. There was
no remonstrance presented against

western part of this state that have
ignored the action of the leaders of the
old Cumberland church and have re-
fused to abide by the terms of the
treaty. What action will be pursued
against these outlaws by the Presby-
terrain church of this state is a ques-
ton We to be decided.
Another important question which
will come up for consideration and ac-
ton at the synod meeting is the man.
agement of home missions. In nearly
every state in the union the Presbyter-
ian home missions are under the con-
troll of the Central Home Mission, the
headquarters of which are located in
New York. For the past ten years the
Indiana synod has controlled its own
home missions and has contributed but
little to the support of home missions
in other states, territories or posses
sions of this country.
The Central Home Mission has ap-
pealed to the Indiana synod to be more
liberal in its home mission support
and to lend assistance in this line of
work, especially in some of the west
ern and southern states and in Alaska.
Today the home mission committee
H. McCaughey, of Tere Haute, is in
session for the purpose of deciding on
this Important question.
The first session of the synod will
be held this evening. The Rev. Wig
gington will deliver sermon. A roll
