Recital by Misses Beattie and Graves.

The second graduating recital OF
the year took place at Murrell au-
ditoriun, Central college, Thursday
evening before goodly sized audi.
ence. The performance was more
than usually interesting because the
participants, Miss Florence Belle
Beattie and Miss Belle Graves, were
both young ladies' from Lafayette
county. Nearly score of out-of-
town friends and relatives came in to
attend the recital.
Artistically the entertainment was
a complete success and every number
elected warm applause. The program
throughout was carried out with such
a degree of excellence that the audi
ence was pleased by the mere reading
and playing, and the personalities OF
the young ladies added charm.
Miss Beattie is senior in the
piano department and is known as a
thorough student and a diligent
worker. She opened the program
with the Allegro con spirito move
ment from Mozart's d major Sonata
Her second number consisted of q
Chopin nocturne, opus So, number l
and an inspiring Grand Valse by hel
teacher, Rudolf King. She played
these in an entirely creditabl'
manner. But it was on her las
appearance that she showed her skill
to the greatest advantage. She ga7'
rather heavy Valse Etude b,
Wollenhaupt and Nollet's Tarehtell'
in ID. In these pieces she develope'
surprising strength of attack with
out impairing the clarity o
execution. She took the arpeggio
beautifully and brought out tn
melody in elegant style. TIL
auditors became very enthusiast
! and tried in vain to get an encore.
Miss Belle Graves is charmin
5 little lady with exactly the righ
bearing for a successful reader. BE
e voice is round and full, her utterano
: distinct. She shows, moreover, tha
/, hex INTERPRETATIONS are not learne
/, mechanically, but come from a fu
q understanding. Her first number W.
e "Eleanor Gray and the Bishop"
a delightful little sketch by Man
g Shlpman Andrews; her second "Tf
f Legend Beautiful by Longfello
and ''The Birth of the Opap by Ell
e Wheeler Wilcox. The latter was e
3 HANGED by beautiful musical accor
n paniment played by Miss Beatti
}. Her last number was her stronges
e d selection from "The Wrestler
i, Phillipi' by Fannie e. Newberr
|, The proper reading Of this rsquir
!. a great deal of dramatic ability al
E capacity for intensity. Miss Grav
}. met all the requirements easily al
n held the breathless attention Of Il
al listeners until the final word.

Korean Assassin Tells WHY

THREE OTHERS WOUNDED

Companions Of the Prince Struck by
Bullets Intended for Him and One
Of Them Is Seriously Hurt-Russian
Minister of the Interior Kokovsofi
Member of the Party at the Time
Of the Tragedy.
Hardin, Manchuria, Oct. 27.-Prince
Hirobumi Ito, former Japanese presi.
dent general of Korea and probably
, Japan's foremost statesman, was as.
sassinated here by a Korean who had
followed him here for the express Dur.
pose of killing him.
The motive of the assassin was re.
verge. The assassin was arrested.
Almost immediately on his arrival
here and just as Prince Ito left the
railroad car at the station the attack
was made upon him. The venerable
statesman, accompanied by Russian
Minister of Finance Kokovsoff, was
starting to inspect the guard of honor
drawn up along the platform when a
pistol shot was heard.
Several more shots we're fired in
quick succession, the bullets striking
the prince IN the back. Prince Ito
fell MORALLY wounded.
Three Companions Wounded.
Three of the princes companions
also were wounded. bullets striking
Japanese Consul General Hawaiian,
General Manager Tannaka of the
South Manchurian railway and Prince
Itc's private secretary. Consul Cen
eral Hawaiian is badly but not fatally
injured. it is believed.
The assassin was promptly seized.
On being questioned he said he was a
Korean.
II came to Hardin for the sole pur-
pose of asshssinating Prince Ito to
avenga my country" the slayer told
his captors.
He also said he had a personal &C.
count to settle with the great Japa-
nese statesman, who, during his stay
In Korea, had ordered the execution
of several persons closely connected
with the assassin.
Outcome Of Organized Plot.
The assassination of Prince Ito ap-
pears to have been the outcome of an
organized plot.
The local authorities, who, antici-
pating the arrival of Prince Ito, were
on the lookout for suspicious charac-
tiers, arrested three Koreans who
were at the station and were found
to be armed with revolvers.
However, the task of guarding the
prince was rendered difficult by reason
of Japanese Consul General Kawa-
kan's request that the railway officials
permit all Japanese to enter the rail
road station to greet the prince The
police point out that it was quite i'm
possible TO distinguish Koreans from
Japanese by their appearance.
The body of the slain statesman has
already been removed homeward. The
coffin before it was placed on the
train was covered with flowers sent
by M. Kokovsoff and the Russian and
Japanese officials.

After months of maneuvering they

The fight to have the matter
