Encourage Industrial Education.

Industrial education should be encour-
aged. 1t is of as great. if not of greater,
Importance that the State should train
artisans and mechanics as that it should
educate boys and girls for the profess
sions,
The children of the plain people of our
State must early learn the way of get
tend college. they are fortunate if they
get beyond the common school. The State
can DO much for them by providing
means by which they may not only learn
something of books but also learn to
work at some branch of labor which re-
quires skill and which will enable them
to command higher wages. A common
school education combined with knowl-
edge. of a good trade is a better capital
for beginning life than a high school di-
ploma alone. The trade schools of Ger
many have placed that country In the
front rank among industrial nations.
The State of Maine may well profit by
her example.

General Howard at Gettysburg.

y resolve will be presented to this
Legislature authorizing the appointment
OF commission. to serve without pay,
which shall select site on the field Of
GettYsburg for an equestrian statue OF
General Oliver O. Howard, to ascertain
the probable cost Of such a. statute and to
report to the Legislature. General How
ard was native of the State of Maine.
He entered the military service of the
United States in the war for the Union as
colonel of the Third Regiment of Maine
Volunteers and passed through the Yari-
Gus grades of promotion to the rank Of
Major General and to the command of an
army in the field. His distinguished SER
vices throughout the war, notably in the
battle Of Gettysburg, make it due to his
memory that his patriotism and conspic-
nous leadership be suitably comment
Grated.
The fame of those who sleep needs not
the aid of spoken words or monumental
stones: their title to hallowed eremem-
htance is secure. but the living must vim
dictate their character by paying just
tribute TO the memory OF our country's
defenders.

HAVE NO CORONER.
County Commissioners Declare the
Office Vacant.

The office of county coroner was to-
day declared vacant by the board of
county commissioners and it is now up
TO Governor Stubs to appoint a sue
cessor to DR.. H. H. Keith, who recent
~ concluded to spend the winter
abroad.
According to the statute which was
recently quoted by County Attorney
Simon, DR.. Keith could not appoint an
assistant or deputy to look after the
Work of his office and that the work
performed by DR.. Amis in the absence
or Dr. Keith was not legal. He also
declared that the board should not pay
the Anis bills and this construction of
the financial end of the job may cause
a row among Amis and the court house
gang.
Since DR.. Keith went to Texas sew
eral months ago, DR.. Amis has con-
Quoted the inquests and attended to
the work that usually falls on the
shoulders of the county coroner. Amis
is an applicant for the coroner's job
to succeed Keith, but it seems prop
able that his work in the past will
have been in vain so far as financial
returns are concerned.
Petitions have been circulated by
DR.. Amis, DIR. Narcotic and H w
Bomgardner. each asking for the APP
pOintment Of county coroner. No ac-
ton has been taken by Governor
Stubs, but the action of the county
board in declaring the Office vacant

ARE SLOW TO REPORT.
Administrators Must Account to Pro-

Administrators in at least six Shaw
nee county estates must hasten the
filing Of statements concerning liabili-
ties of the estates if they would save
the estates from the payment of a levy
made by the state tax commission I'M
der the inheritance tax law These
statements have been called for by the
commission and will probably be de-
manded at an early date
In many of the estates delays have
been encountered in the fling of state
mentS by administrators, but only in
cases where the property valuations
exceed $1,000 does the state tax COM
mission interfere. If the liabilities
bring the property valuations below
the $4,000 mark, then the commission
cannot levy on the estate under the

property rights are sufficient to come
under the provisions of the inheritance
tax law, but the filing of a liability
statement would reduce the amount to
be paid to the state by hairs of the
deceased parties.

Hunters. Attention,

Monroe Phillips, the owner of a 5000
acre farm on the Ocmulgee river, II
miles below Macon, has written to the
secretary of war, asking if the govern
ment will send a troop of soldiers to
assist him in DISCRIMINATING the bears
that infest his plantation. He has also
invited former President Roosevelt TO
come and hunt on the farm.
Phillips states that his plantation Is
ravaged by BEARS which are just en-
crying from. the immense swamp cane
brakes, preparatory to entering their
winters habitation.
He says that over twoscore of his
pigs have been carried off, his cotton
and corn tramDled down, his poultry
yards raided, and his sugar cane patch
torn up.
Phillips estimates that there are At
least 200 bears, many Weighing several
hundred POUNDS. in the swamps near
his place.-Macon -CGa.) Dispatch to

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The election in the Second and the
primary in the Seventh Kansas con-
gressionaI districts are now in the
acute stage. Their Importance rests
on the fact that the Second where
the Democrat, Taggart, looks to have
the best chance, will offer the first line
on the 1912 election. If the Republic
cans lose here that will be taken as
portent of success by Democrats all
over the country. The big house &C
ton of the congressional committee,
which really gave Taggart his only
chance. will not be considered at all.
In the Seventh district the fight will
be between the regulars and progress
sives, a Stubs man in the person of
Dick Hopkins. and a Curtis man in
the person of Judge Martin. The sue
cess of the one or the other will be
taken as dope on the senatorial pri-
mary next year.
Dick Hopkins came to town today
after a week spent in the rich and
populous counties of Edwards, Rice
and Barton.
ora Dawson of Great Bend is in
about getting in the Seventh primary
It is likely that Dawson will support
Hopkins and run for lieutenant COVER
nor.
In the Second district the Guyer
campaign is being pushed vigorously
by Republican leaders. Stubs, Bris-
tow, Anthony, Jackson and others are
helping the Kansas City man to over
come his congressional committee
handicap. Senator Brady. an oppo-
nent who was jobbed out of the nom
nation, has finally come out for
Guyer, burying his personal wrongs
under the covering of party fea1ty.
The Democrats are also busy Tt is
said that Champ Clark and w. J.
BRYAN will make speeches in the dis
trict for Taggart. It would be a
luscious morsel. that Second district
congressional place. and the Demo-
Gratis figure to land it.

Sensational Development Causes Stir

Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 20-The start
ling development of the Kreiter trial
this morning was the offering in evil
dence by States Attorney Harkin of
the alleged confession made to him by
Mrs kreiter regarding the killing OF
her husband
Attorneys for the defense opposed
the admission of the confession and
Judge McNulty will rule on it's admis-
si5ility this afternoon. 1t is admitted
the defense is expected to put Mrs.
Kreiter on the stand late in the trial
in her own defense. Mrs. Leshman,
sister of Mrs. Kreiter, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Klinge, brother-in-law and sister
to the dead man, are here for the trial
Mrs. Kinge displays much more agf-
tation that the defendant.
Testimony taken today is taken up
with the examination of physicians
who made the post mortem examina-
ton of Kreiter's body.
Several witnesses testified as to thu
position Of the furniture in the room,
and the location of blood spots on the
floor when the dead body was discov-
cred, it being the theory of the state
that Klreiter was stabbed to death while
sitting before the kitchen fire.

der is alleged to have been committed
was introduced as evidenced, Mrs.

dead man, tainted 1t is said her con-
ditiOn is serious.

MUST PAY MORE.
Deficiency of $4,000 for the South
Side Dixie.


Property owners who have been assess
ed for the cost of the South side dixie have
been given an additional jolt amounting
to nearly $4,000. This extra assessment
is credited to deficiency and Improve
ments. The Improvement feature
amounted to 81, $50 and the deficiency fig
ures were So, 543.
The original estimates for the cost of
building this dixie were about 81, 600 under
the real cost of the South side dixie. The
dixie when all paid for Will cost the prop
erty owners $40, 086.2S.
The additional assessment has caused
no little dissatisfaction among the tax
payers The dixie has been built at every
variety of trouble and expense and some
of the taxpayers found it necessary to
hire engineers of their own to watch the
progress of the work.
The city has been assessed for an ex-
ira large amount and they have placed
the notice of the levy in the hands of
the city attorney for further investiga-
ton. The trouble over the construction
of the South side dixie, apparently, is not
over vet.

fire IN KEMPER FLATS.
Building NIenaced, but Loss Will Not
Be over 5000.

For a time last night it was feared
that the Kemper flats, 717-119 Topeka
avenue. would be destroyed by fire. A
blaze originating in the boiler room in
the basement followed the gas pipes
up the walls of the building to the
second floor whence smoke and
flames broke out.
only after fire companies had
played three chemical streams from
the interior of the building were they
able to extinguish the fire.
It was discovered that the fire was
caused from an overheated furnace
and had spread through a partition
into a room filled with paints. From
this room the fire spread rapidly. The
loss from fire is estimated at about
$780, Water and chemical damage is
not estimated.
