April Fools day did not pass with

Of the bright young people of the
town was the nice little excursion

School to Goodwin. There they basked

The picnicers get zero, and as a con-
sequence some Of them won't pass this

Out at c. M. A. red corpucled
young America arose at 2 o'clock in
the morning and with much labor and
many tugs drew the big cannon FAR
from its wonted resting place, and in
the wee small hours sent a blank

from their beds to ascertain if the
millennium had really come. Just

sunk back to their downy couches with
sigh of relief But Prof Hardy

THE MERCHANTS
WERE VERY BUSY

1t was trading day In town Mon
day and the merchants have had their
hands full. The crowd was not as
large as Is frequently seen here on
first Mondays, many of the farmers
having their hands full with their
crops, and 1t looks as II every man
here had come for some purpose.
Many came for farming machinery
and field seeds and the business In
these lines was particularly heavy.

THOUSAND LAMBS
SHIPPED NORTH

One OF the largest shipment OF
lambs ever sent out from Maury coun.
ty was started north Saturday by Joe
Hagey. There were 1000 fine spring
lambs in the shipment and they rep
resented a pretty penny, for lambs are
high, close to the seven cent mark,
and the 1000 head cost between $4,000
and $4,000. There were many lambs
in the lot weighing as high as 90
pounds.

WHITE SLAVERY
HIT BODY BLOW
Iron Bars Removed From the
Windows of Chicago's Dis
reputable Homes

Chicago, Sept. S.-Iron bars are be-
ing ripped off the windows of dis
orderly houses by order of Chicago's
new chief of police to whom the
Woman's World committee furnished
information of the places where white
slaves were held prisoners and where
white slavery. in it's curdest form
glowered its menace to possible girl
victims. Chief Steward made an in
vestigation of the facts reported by
the committee and when they were
confirmed he took prompt and Wig
orous action.
That traffic in girls, their capture
and sale by cadets and procurers TO
keepers of disorderly houses. not only
existed but prospered on a great, even
international scale was discovered a
few years ago when barred windows
were found in a house which had
been used as brothel. 1t was then
proved that girls who were enticed or
tricked into that place had been kept
as prisoners, as slaves to commercial
lied lust and even as drudges. They
had disappeared utterly from the
knowledge of their friends and rela-
tives. Their tears and pleadings had
been in vain and no communication
with the world outside the barred
windows was permitted. Ernest A.
Bell, secretary of the Illinois Vigil
ance association and member of the
committee, made that discovery and
he it was who showed Chief Steward
photographs Of place after place on
Armour avenue where grim iron bars
across the windows told of the white
slavery within, and which, resulted
in energetic official measures.
Raids made by prosecutors for the
state and federal government have
confirmed the, fact that girl captives,
often daughters of excellent homes,
were held by lock and force to do the
degrading bidding of their purchasers
and procurers. These methods were
not followed in Chicago alone but in
other cities. The barred windows,
however, were a basis for the new
Illinois act prepared by the Woman g
World committee against the deten-
tion Of girls in such places by force
or under pretense. of debt, law en-
acted in April and now In force. In
vestigations In Boston and other
cities show that similar law is need
ed In nearly every state Of the union
and efforts are urged to secure both
such law and its enforcement

AVIATORS GATHER
Brescfa Will Soon BE a Rival Of

Brescia. Italy, Sept. s.-Several of
the aviators who have assembled here
for the aeroplane races beginning to-

NJ. Blariot, in test run, collided with
tree. The propeller Of his machine
was broken but fortunately the pilot
was not injured. The propeller was
promptly replaced. eileen H. Curtiss,
the American who won the interna-
tional cup at Rheims, was cheered
when he made his first appearance on
the course. Many American women
visited his shed to congratulate him.

watched him for some time. Then
her father appeared and she related
the circumstances to him.

Mr.. Wright had not been there but
a moment or two when the man ap-
peared.

Il met man on the street and passed
him. He had the brim of his hat
pulled down over his face as though
to conceal his face, but / merely pass
ed him without giving him passing

swear positively that the man was
Kethman, l am morally certain that
he was the man / passed on the

Front street, SO it must have been
about ten minutes later when I met
the man, which would make the hour
about 11:15.
my daughter and myself stood on
the porch for perhaps a minute after
she told me about the man, when l
saw him sort of coming down the
street for short distance, whirl about
and then turn and walk very fast back
again. He turned the corner into a
lumber yard. suppose he saw the
doctor coming.

man come around the library build
ing, striking at the trees. He started
across the street, and after that he
ran away. Shortly after that the two
men who found the body called me,
and I went over and found DIR. Egge

Some time ago he was connected
with the Moorhead fire department,
and at one time was on the police
force of Moorhead. At another time
he was acting in position connected
with the street department OF Moor
head.
Showed Intense Hatred.
Some. idea of the intense hatred
that was shown the deceased by his
assailant may be imagined when it is
stated by Undertakers Beck & Wright
that 1t required one of their assistants
f.om IL o'clock Monday night until 5
o'clock yesterday morning to sew up
the cuts that were on the dead mans
face and head.
1t is supposed that Kethman "laid
in wait" for his victim for at least
tllf an hour before committing the
crime. The police do not have the
slightest hesitancy in saying that they
have the right man and they believe
they have the evidence that will
eventually lead Kethman to the gal
lows.
Kethman has wife and five chill
dren living in this city. while the
murdered man leaves wife and two
children, a boy of six and another Of
twelve years.

ANOTHER RECORD
MADE IN THE AIR
An Aeroplanist Flew for One
Hour and Three Minutes in
a Dead Calm

Aldershot. England. Sept. s-Dsrs
ing a dead calm at an early hour
this morning, Captain F. S. Cody, an
American aeroplanist. who has been
in the service of the English army
for several years, achieved what ia
believed to be worlds record for
a cross country fight in an aeroplane.
In big and cumbersome machine,
which is his own invention, Captain
Cody remained in the air for an hour
and three minutes, covering In that
time distance of over forty miles.
His machine was under perfect con-
troll and at times rose to an altitude
of 400 feet. 1t Travelled occasionally
at rate of fifty miles an hour. Cody
had to land because his fuel gave out.
AS he descended. the machine struck
ground rather forcibly, but it was
only slightly damaged.
