We wish to call your attention to

include all Americans of more than
local note in all lines of useful eff

for financial consideration. With .
view OF determining what effect edu-
cation OF the various grades has had
on success in life, effort was TO ascer'
tain the school training of each

than local note and 1851 on their
United States list were thus educa-
tjonally classified. According to the
best estimate we can make from TN

MORE THAN 500 ARE SERVED

Service has been secured on Felix
G. Ewing. general manager, and
George Snawdon, treasurer of the
Planters Protective association, who
are defendants In some of the night
rider suits. by Elwood Neel, deputy
United States marshal, who returned
last night from a trip through the
Black Patch.
The papers were served on Presl-
dent Ewing and Treasurer Snawdon
in the hotel at Guthrie by Marshal
Neel, who also learned that Polk
Prince. another official of Tennessee,
was en- route to Guthrie and would
reach the hotel in fifteen minutes. The
marshal waited for several hours, and
Prince never came within sight, as 1t
is believed he was given a tip of
Marshal Neel's presence. Marshal
Neel worked quietly IN Guthrie and
only the defendants knew he was
there.
Yesterday Marshal Neel was in
Princeton and Eddyville, where he
served the papers on many of the de-
PENDANTS. At Eddyville he served the
papers on e. Walls. chairman OF the
Lyon county tobacco association, a
representative of the county in the
legislature, and a banker and prom
inent citizen.
Marshal Neel has served papers on
between 500 and 400 defendants

This morning in police court
he told a story OF returning
home last night about 10 O'Clock
with lantern. He claims he
met a man with a red lantern
and the stranger offered to swap
lights, with 10 cents as boot.
Lesher did not hesitate about
making the deal, he said, and
then started home with the lamp
under his coat.
A red lantern was placed at
Third and Jackson streets last
night and this morning the Ian
tern in Lesher's possession was

Business was better this week than
i was last week, as shown by a gain
of nearly 100000 over the clearings
|of last week. The retail trade has
picked up to some extent, but the
main bulk Of the increase in the
clearings is because OF the many thou
sand pounds of tobacco that have
been received in the city this week
The warm. damp weather has been
excellent for the tobacco growers TO
move their crop, and every morning
trains of wagons loaded with the
weed have arrived In the city.
The remodeling fever seems to
have struck property owners on
Broadway and there are three stores
now in the hands of contractors. The
buildings 315 aud 317 Broadway are
being repaired, and when completed
will have handsome new fronts. and
will be credit to the city. Work is
being rushed on the buildings. The
building at 325 Broadway also is be-
ing repaired and will blossom forth
with a new front. The building To-
Gated at 405 Broadway will be re-
paired and oyerhauled in short
while.
Several years ago the old buildings
on Broadway between First street and
Third street were repaired and re-
modelled, and made more attractive
lin many ways. Now that the mer-
chants on Broadway west of Third
street have decided to reconstruct
stores is good indication OF pros
perity, and will AFFORD work for the
and masons. a.
