Woman Killed at Strasbure.

Mrs. Sarah Riddle, wife Of a farm
er living near Strasburg, Cass coun-
ty, was instantly killed Tuesday even
ing by westbound passenger train No.
l, that passed Warrensburg at S:22.
Mrs. Riddle was returning home
from an errand at the village and to
save steps was walking on the rail-
road track. On the way she had to
cross fifty foot iron trestle, about a
half mile east of Strasburg. When
she was less than half across this
trestle, she was Mortified when she
looked up and saw train almost up-
on her coming with the speed Of the
wind. With certain death staring her
in the face the unfortunate woman
was overcome with freight and fell in
her tracks and her body was horribly
mutulated by the merciless wheels Of
the cars. The engineer reversed his
engine, but it was too late. The in
quest was held Wednesday.

How Was 1t, in Fact?

The esteemed Republican Press, a
member of Governor Hadley's adver-
Using bureau, protesting to speak
ex-cathedra, in its issue of October
first, appears to be working at cross
purposes in trying to explain the
governors attitude toward the liquor
interests of the state.
On page one it says: while the
governor has announced that he has
no intention of calling a special ses.
sion of the legislature on account of
the failure Of the liquor interests to
keep their promises, ETC."
On the following Page the R. P.
publishes two column special cor
respondence" from Jefferon City,
evidently sent out by authority of the
governor himself, it being labored
effort to explain what some believe
to be the unexplainable attitude of
his excellency on this question, in
which it is said:
when the governor discovered,
on his return from his vacation that
the law was to be contested by the
distilling and wholesale liquor inter-
ests, he was surprised and disappoint-
ed, and so expressed himself. He
said then that in case the liquor
license taxes were not paid and the
law tied up in the courts it would be-
come necessary for him to convene
the Legislature to provide for neces-
sary revenue, and that he would
throw open the liquor question in his
call, etc., etc."
Will brother Funk explain how
both these statements can be true?
Is not this after all in keeping with
the governors attitude in the late
campaign in having the brewery in
terests manage him in the cities
while he was appealing to the tenn
perance people in the country?
Seemingly the editorial quoted
from first above was prepared at JEFF
fersun City for use IN the larger cities
only, and some clerk made a mistake
in sending out.
How was it in fact?

NEW HOME MINE DISASTER
Fire Destroyed This Mining
Plant Saturday night. Esti-
mated Loss $50, 900.

Saturday night last at about 10
o'clock the mining plant operated by
the Atlas Coal Company at New
Home was discovered on fire and
nothing could be done to stop its
ravages until the shaft house, engine
and boiler house and entire super
structure together with the timbers in
the hosting shaft were destroyed,
which caused the shaft to cave in.
The fire was discovered shortly after
the last shot firers had emerged from
the mines.
The origin Of the fire is in doubt,
while many believe it was caused by
gas, the managers deny this, Claim.
ing there was no gas to hurt in the
mines. The supposition is that a
lamp exploded in the engine room,
while the night Waterman was max

disaster from the very first. II was

BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS.
BY County Superintendent P. M. Allison.

ny touhsy cupctthsVhuohs HA' N>'ho~h'
The first school visited this week
was Black, in Summit township.
They were cleaning house and get
ting ready for winter. Miss Anna
Bard is teacher and has her work
well organized, and has one Of the
best schools in the county. They
have a well furnished school room
and the people take good interest in
the work.
In the spelling contest this week
the same words were used as in the
two previous weeks but with much
better results. The following pupils
spelled all the words this week: Leila
Wayland, Selma Newton and Margie
Greenup, of Herrell school, in Sum-
nit twp; Grace Venable, of Black
School, in Summit twp; Elmer
Scherich, Frank Lotspeich, Earle M.
Thompson and Ethel Park, of Passaic
school, in Mound twp; Eva Buckless,
Minnie McGill, of Altoona school, in
Shawnee twp; Clark Enos, of Mt.
Zion school in Mound twp. We think
the difference in the spelling of this
and former weeks is due to the fact
that the schools visited this week all
took more interest last years spelling
contest. We can not help but think
that the contest was of much benefit
to those who took part in it.
1t seems that one set of book agents
in the county is resorting to most any
kind of means to sell their books.
They are claiming to be out at the re-
quest of the county superintendent
and that the superintendent wants
every teacher in the county to pur-
chase their books and in some in
stances have displayed a letter of
commentator of their books, from
the superintendent. | want to say
that have not written such letter
nor authorized any one to use my
name in connection with any book or
books, neither do | intend to. am
asking teachers to buy two books this
year and they are our reading circle
books. On the other hand | do not
believe that many teachers can afford
to buy these sets of books. My sug-
gestion is to leave all agents alone.
When l really want the teachers to
buy any book or sets of books, ! will
tell the teachers and not the agents.
Col. j. N. Sharp, Of Mound twp,
was in Saturday and suggested that
we give our experience in the PassaiC
school, unless we wanted him to tell
it for US. Now the facts are thai
while we were in the midst Of q
speech an automobile passed by and
caused our horse to break loose, and
we had to stop and rehitch the horse
and had just gotten under good head
way again on the speech when an0th
er automobile appeared upon the
scene and put US out Of commission
again. No serious damage was done
outside the speech making.
We visited schools in the north
part Of the county and found then
doing well despite the book agents.

would be likely to enter would be
English, American, German, Irish,
Scotch, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese
and probably others.
Ten u-ies would probably be the
distance decided on. The Shanghai
race is ever an eighteen-mile course
but the shorter distance would find
greater favor here.
