Troy, Oct. 14.-Tim sheedy, one Of
the craftiest, most fearless and most
noted of desperadoes and burglars in
this country, is in the hands OF the
Troy police. His capture was effect,
ed shortly before II o'clock last night
while he was In the act of robbing

jail at Hartford, Conn, during the
latter part of July last and since that
time the search for this king of bur-
glars has extended from one end OF
the country to the other: even to
Italy, where he was recently CHROME
ously reported to have been seen.
Troy is the home OF Sheedy's birth
and, even though well known to scor.
es of Trojans, he drifted back here
because, as he explained, he wanted
to see the old town once more and,
incidentally, replenish his finances a

When cornered in little aeraway
at the scene Of his most recent at
tempted Job, he endeavored TO
shoot Acting Captain Charles Goer-
old of the Second precinct station.
A second attempt at murder In order
to make his escape, one last futile e.
fort, was made as his gun was being
taken away from him at the Second
precinct station. Here, while he was
being overpowered, he seriously en-
dangered the lives OF Sergeant Frank
Green and Patrolman Fitzgerald.
A short time after his escape from
the Hartford institution in August the
authorities of Massachusetts offered
reward OF 81 900 for Sheedys cap
ture, or 800 for any information rel
alive TO his whereabouts. Il was
while the excitement was still fresh
over his escape that he wrote letter
to Hartford paper explaining how he
escaped, but asserting, as he did last
night, that he had been wrongfully
arrested and convicted. No trace OF

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION GROWS


In recent interview with Judge V,
w. Grubbs of Campbell (Texas), pio-
neer in the movement for industrial
education in Texas, speaking of the
industrial education movement, with
which he has been identified for many
years, said:
When l began the fight for educa-
tional reform about fifteen years ago,
having in view the preparation of the
youth for the duties and responsible
ties of life in its important industrial
phases, the idea was ridiculed by .
large per cent of the school teachers,
politicians and people generally. Not
withstanding the opposition it met
and the ridicule it endured, but. few
intelligent persons can now be found
who do not acknowledge the correct
ness of the position for which have
commended so long. The trouble is
that there are comparatively few who
are willing to apply it to their own
children. They tenaciously cling to
the idea that industrial pursuits are
commonplace and socially degrading.
They are willing that industrial
schools and colleges shall be estab-

llshed and maintained for the benefit
of the common people, to which class
few of them belong in their own esti-
nation. I rejoice to know, howeve.',
that the sentiment favorable to indus
trial education is rapidly growing, and
l look forward to the time when in
dustrial features will be Incorporated
in practically all of the schools of the
state. l contemplate the organiza-
ton and prosecution of a vigorous
campaign among the people of all
classes throughout the length and
breadth of the state and will ask the
hearty cooperation and support of all
classes of our people."-Industria
Record.
The modern Industrial school is ac-
complishing great work, and one of
its best effects is to turn public at
tention back to pursuits on the farm
and in the shops. Many people have
been inclined to think that the only
field offering any future to the boys
of the country was in the professions,
and many boys took up a profession
for which they were not equipped
and which was not to their liking. The
trend now is back to the farm, and
many of the braniest men of the coun-
try are demonstrating that the farm
can be made to pay and can be con-
1ucted as any other big business en-
5erprise. The industrial school can
10 great work if given the backing
md support it deserves.

The two pictures wei - ken within

the vicinity of Helena, Arkansas. Mr.
E. D. Pillow tells me this buckshot-
slough road has, for the last forty
years, been utterly impossible during
open winters. However, after few
months of dragging, four mules regu-
larly moved ten bales of cotton at
load over the road throughout an I'M
usually wet winter, and the next win
ter the resisting capacity of the road
increased twenty per cent, so that
normal load, following a years use of
the drag, was twelve bales. One-half
of the length of the road is sticky
buckshot, and the other half is sandy
loan, and the drag worked well on
both soils. The Kfng-Drag has solved
the road problem in this section says
Mr. Pillow.
The formula for building good roads
without money is not complex. In
truth, it is so simple that many per-
sons when they first see it feel posi-

First, build King-Drag; and build
it according to the specifications in
the United States King-Drag Bulletin.
Do not attempt to improve the drag;
l have spent several years trying to
devise a better one and failed.
Second, after the drag is built
hitch two horses to it, attach the
double-tree at point on the chain
that will compel the drag to follow
the team at an agile of forty-fiYe de-
grees, with the left-hand end of the
!, drag to the rear. Now, at moment
when the surface soil is moist but not
sticky, step ON to the drag and drive
toward town with one horse on, each
side of the right-hand wheel track.
Drive to your neighbours front gate
and, turning there, drive back home
over the other wheel track That is
all l ask. You can make another
round if you have leisure, but the one
trip will answer if the work is prop
erly done. After the next rain or
storm, when the earth in the road has
dried so that it will not adhere to the.
slabs of the drag, though still wet
enough to pack, make another trip to
your neighbours front gate toward
town, returning as before. Repeat the
operation after four, five or six rains
or storms. Probably after four rains,
but certainly after six rains. followed
by careful dragging, the center of the
strip of roadway that is reached by
the drag will be found higher than the
rest. In other words, four to six
draggings after four to six rians will
produce smooth, oval roadbed, with
good drainage of its surface within
the limits of the dragging"
There is not piece of Palestine
street unpaved that the drag would
not benefit, and to give the drag a
fair test would be comparatively mex
pensive. The Agricultural Department
of the United States government in
dorses the drag, pronouncing it the.
most effective road building tool ever
devised, and in special bulletin gives
explicit instructions how to build and
operate the drag. These bulletins are
to be had for the asking at the Board
of Trade rooms Months ago was.

he said, it now looks like a boule-
ward l must say that the King-Drag
is more than meeting all expectations
on the worst piece Of road this city
owns The river road referred to is
subject to very heavy and constant
traffic, leading, as it does, to the steel
works, and being thanked on either
side by large wholesale lumber yards
and planning mills. Great loads of lum-
Der are hauled on two-wheeled carts,
which are loosely attached to the lead
ing trucks The entire two-horse
load is borne by two wheels, while the
loose c0apling permits the wheels to
twist and bore into the mudholes like
augers into a board. 1t would be
difficult to devise a more destructive
vehicle
"The south, too, is putting its high
ways under the magic influence of
the drag. The milk fever, so they
say, is always to be found across the
line in he next county. However, in
an experience extending over some
nine years-during which | have
spoken in twenty-four states and Can
ada-the worst roads possible are al
ways at the last place / happen to
visit. Especially in the earlier years
of the movement did well-meaning
men hasten to the rostrum to assure
me of faith in my sincerity and their
belief that the King-Drag would do all
is claimed over where you live, Mr..
King, but here-well, this soil is pc
culiar Unless you have actually
tested it in wet weather you have/no
idea how awfully bad it does get, and
we who know the soil best are quite
certain that your drag would not
work and so on. How often has that
statement been whispered in my ear
and shouted in my face!
In the Black Waxy Country.
Now 'black-Waxy or 'buckshot' soil
is the roadway terror of the south,
and my friends there have been very
positive the King system would fail
on it. Because l have visited the
south less frequently than any other
section the people who travel over this
peculiar soil have been the last to
succumb to King-Drag arguments. But
the terrible southern soil is conquer.

years ago a stretch of creek bottom
