NIGHT RIDERS ARE STRONGER
County Judge Wells Believes Depre-
dators Are After Him.

Paducah, Ky.-Carrying out their pre-
diction, the night riders of Galloway
county, who have-been among the most
active in Western Kentucky, are growing
stronger, and today it is unsafe for a
farmer to live in the eastern part of the
county unless he is a member of the
band or in sympathy with it. They said
before the first trial of Jake Ellis, at the
August term, that they would become a
bigger and better organized body after
court adjourned, and reports from their
section are to the effect that they have.
County Judge a. G. Wells is of the
belief that the night riders intended to
impeach him and implicate Clarence
Dyer, an important witness for the state.
He believes they intended to do this on
the affidavit of Will Ingram, who, after
publishing statement that he was
forced by Judge Wells to make confess
sion, retracted the statement and said his
original confession was true and that he
was compelled to deny it under threat
of death.
Judge Wells is one of the prosecuting
lawyers in the night rider cases and says
that he will fight the indicted men as
long as there is case left on the docket.
He now realizes to what length his enc
mics will 90 to embarrass and bluff him.

STEPMOTHER MAY TEACH.
Unique Decision by the Attorney.
General of Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark.-Attorney-General
Kirby today handed down an opinion
touching the relationship of school
director to his step-mother. The director
stated that his step-mother had secured
the necessary qualifications for teaching
in the district, with the exception of the
bar of kinship. He wanted to know if
the fact that she was his step-mother
made it a violation of law for her to be
employed. incidentally, he mentioned the
fact that his father was dead.
Mr.. Kirby Informed him that the fact
of his fathers death removed the kim
ship by affinity, and that his step-mother
could be employed in the school, as she
was not related to him after his fathers
decease. Had the directors father been
living, his step-mother would have been
barred from teaching in the district, so
long as he remained school director.

Atlanta Ga.-A duel or street fight

COTTON GAINED II POINTS
Spot Sales at Liverpool 5000 Bales.
October Sold at $40.

Memphis, Tenn.-Several influences
combined to advance cotton yesterday,
the chieftest being larger demand at
Liverpool and increased inquiry at South
ern centers, which stiffened quotations
and brought better feeling into the
waiting ranks of the sellers. Crop de-
terioration reports from the uplands and
excessively high temperatures in Texas
added to the bullish influences, and the
report on cotton ginning failed to make
such an exceptional showing in the
amount ginned as to give the bears a
club to fight with. At the last the days
best prices were held, and the tone of
the market was quite steady. October
was net II points higher.
Manchester spinners find now that the
basis is low, the lowest of the season; !;
their stocks are depleted, and without
any important increase in actual demand
for goods they are buyers for immediate
wants, demand which has been lacking
for some weeks, and which will, now
that it has begun, 60 a long way toward
taking care of the receipts of cotton as
the crop movement swings into full
action. This is regarded in trade circles
as very encouraging feature, and gave
yesterday more concern to shorts than
did either the crop damage reports or the
comparatively moderate showing in the
amount of new cotton ginned to Sept. l..
The figures at 397,924 were almost
double those of last year, when only
20O,27S bales were ginned, and compared
with 407,551 in 1906 and 476,OOO in
1905. They were, however, of no par
ticular significance in any light. They
would have been less noticed had not the
trade thought ginning had progressed at
very rapid rate and expected higher
figures.

NEGRO F|END LYNCHED

Oxford Miss.-A mob of over 100 men

Advance in Wheat.

Chicago.-The government crop report
caused strong upturn in wheat prices on
the local exchange today, but liberal
profit-taking late in the session reduced
the gains to only slight lead at the
close, compared with final quotations of
the previous session. The condition of
spring wheat at the time of harvesting,
according to government statistics, was
77.6 per cent of a normal crop, compared
with .sO.7 per cent month ago, and the
total yield was estimated at 336, 6,OO0,-

SAFETY FoR

Warning to Boards Of Education, Sup
erintendents and Educators.
The following circular has been sent
cut by State Superintendent McBrien
and Labor Commissioner Ryder:
Owing to the recent calamity at Col
linwo0d. a suburb of Cleveland. o.. We
deem it u duty to call the attention
of boards of education, city superin-
tendents. high school and village prin-
cipals, teachers and other officials
throughout the state who are respOn-
sible for the lives of the school chill
dren entrusted to their care to the law
regulating fire escapes and egress from
public buildings.
To guard against loss of life in this
state We urge upon all officials whose
duty it is to enforce the aforesaid acts
to see that the provisions Of these laws
are strictly observed. We regret to
say that there are at least 800 public
school buildings in villages. towns and
cities in Nebraska where existing ar
rangements fail to meet the require
ments of the law. In many places the
situation is criminal.
1t is the small details that arc too
often overlooked or entirely neglect
ed. which in the event of great emer-
gencies would be the line between
safety and danger. All doors should
swing outward. Windows should W
be allowed to become bound or neg
lected to that extent that they will
not work with a touch of the finger.
Escapes of noncombustible material
should be erected where needed. The
need should be regarded as immediate
rather than in the distant future.
We offer the suggestion that in addi-
ton to exits and fire escapes provided
for by law there should be on every
floor of q school building two OF more
stories in height a supply of ropes in
every room. knot!ed and securely fas-
tened to the walls ready for immediate
use The boys should be required to
practice descending these ropes Occa-
sionally and the girls should be re-
quired to watch the boys Mt practice.
There should be frequent fire drills
in every school. but 1t should be re-
membered that in a fire drill it is as
important to see in how orderly a
manner the pupils ran leave the build
ing. as well as now quickly il can be
done.

LESS CARS ARE IDLE
INDICATIONS THAT BUSINESS
SITUATION IS IMPROVING.
OTHER FACTORS ENCOURAGING
Many iron and Steel Mills Are Run
ming and Money Rates Are on
the Decline.

New York-The prevailing opinion
reflected in the financial district last
week was Of increased confidence that
the condition of affairs was mending.
Evidences we're not universal that con-
traction had run its course. but from
fields that were considered most sig
nifcant the signs of betterment were
accepted as testimony that the situa-
ton was shaping Owards Improvement.
Figures compiled by the American
Railway association of the number OF
idle freight car showed a progressive
reduction for the last two fOrnigh;ly
returns. These figures were highly in
fiuential in shaping opinion on the
general situation. Scattering reports
of resumption Of work by factories
which had suspended or largely re-
duced operations during the depth OF
the depression. although mixed with
evidence of further curtailment in
other directions. were a cheering fac
tor. Especially in the iron and steel
trade the reports of r~eOpenings yer
notable. A recovery from the price
of copper. which had been failing since
the decision to reopen the Butte cop
per production. gave some reinsurance
to the confidence in improvement in
that trade. which was expressed in the
reopening in Montana.
The declining money rates here and
abroad we're al element in the situa-
ton and the discrepancy in money
rates here and in Europe induced some
investment of foreign funds in New
York. This a mostly confined to
high-grade mortgage securities and to
some takings of mercantile paper.
Buying for foreign account IA per-
ceptible, however, in the stock market
and the presence in foreign capitals
of some of the most influential Ameri-
a financiers revived the superstition
that foreign buying of stocks were not
unrelated to this circumstance. The
easing Of the money market and the
stirring of activity in stocks brough:
into consideration the subject Of finan-
cial needs of the great corporations
which remain unsupplied and which
insure attempts to float new issues of
securities in the near future. The
market for existing bonds was studied
to discern a reflection of this move
ment in the general bond market. but
resulted somewhat disappointing. The
bond market lacked breadth and the
prices at which seasoned bonds are
still selling do not make a propitiOus
condition for the offering of new Sc
curitieS.
