Washington, November 6.-(special)-1 By new order of Secretary James Will son Of the United States department ot agriculture, effective November 1, new territory in the south has been released from the cattle tick quarantine,
 But the order does not affect one inch of territory in the state of Alabama.

that the proprietor was western

applicant clouded. I'm that case"
she said firmly, II do not wish the

man now, and that is why wish to
make change. Why, do you know"
her voice dropped to a low. tragic
tone, as Of one who voices hidden
crime-"that man actually gets down
to the Office at six o'clock in the
morning, and he expects us to be there
at eight. Worse than that. even when
We are on hand promptly at eight he
acts as If It was about the middle of
the day. OF course, 1t is easy for him,
for 1t seems he gets up about four
o'clock every morning, works bit at
home, reaches the Office at six and
piles up work for us until eight, so 1t
really does seem late to him when we
arrive. No more western men for me,

The Dogs Mind.

traordinary knowledge of time. On
each day Of the week. excepting Sat.
urday, some scholars pass along q
road at the back Of my grounds, about
I p. M. on their way home-about q
mile distant. If the dog is out Of
doors he invariably joins them, &C
companies them home, and returns.
II he should happen to BE- indoors at
the hour they pass. he sits at q
window watching for them; and when
they appear, he asks plainly and pal.
pably to be let out. On Saturday,
however. when the school is shut, az
soon as the doors Of my house are
opened in. the morning, he makes OF
for the children's cottage. and spends
the week end with them, returning to
me on Monday. And so it goes on for
weeks.-The Scotsman.

POTTER'S ARREST
 MAY STOP SCHEME

Chicago. September 13.--The arrest of S. A. Potter, charged with being the head of a group of confidence men, is expected to prevent scheme now near maturity in which London men were to be swindlcd out of half million dollars by "salted" line scheme.
 Harold Alyors Ankley of Grafton Square London, is already in Amer ica, and was prepared to invest ex- tensiYely in the scheme and his associ : ates are now on the ocean on their way to New York to participate in the investment offered, according to James F. Stuart, postoffice inspector here.
 Edward A. Starkloff, said by the se- cret service men to share with Potter in providing the brains of the swindlcs and who narrowly escaped arrest here yesterday, isr believed to be travelling either to New York or Boston with the expectation of meeting the Englishmen upon their arrival.
 Fear that even now the deal might be consummated if Potter obtained his release, was given by Chief DewoodS division superintendent of the depart ment of Justice, as the reason why Pot ter's bonN should be placed so high as to bospkohibitive.

 sheriff of Lee county to take him back to Smithville on the charge of killing Mrs. Maude Childers, bride of six months. Kennedy has been held in the Carroll
 ton jail for two days, following his ar
 rest at a turpentine distilery in Heard county He protested strongly against
 being taken back to Lee county, declar- ing that he was afraid of the people there. In speaking of the crime after protesting his innocence Kennedy said:
 After Mrs. Childers left the dining room, saying that she was going to her
 room, stroled along after her aiInlessly. | I didn't know just why but W~- passing | her room when she called
 ","This medicine is bitter: it don't taste l the same Later she cried I'm poisoned | and fell on her bed. | About this time her mother heard her | cry and came running to her. We cut | some of her clothes loose and then ran | for the doctor.''

 the county jail.
