 Olmstead.-Dr. John H. Harrod, prominent physician of this place and cousin of the late James H. Harrod of Little Rock, who was recently killed by an automobile, was shot and killed by Joe Coker, one of the best known farmers in the northern part of Pu- laski county Coker went to the phy- sician's home, called him to the gate and, without q word, fired upon him. Dr. Harrod lived only long enough to tell his wife that Coker shot him.
 To officers who placed him under arrest, Coker charged that his wife, who was first cousin Of the murdered physician, had twice recently been the victim of attacks by Dr. Harrod.
 We were good friends at noon today and even after that, declared Coker after he was placed uader-ssnaSisss4=- isss4=- but I found out something late this afternoon and went to kill him."
 With a composure equal to that he displayed in the killing, Coker turned from the gate where he had taken the physicians life, and started to walk to Jacksonville, P miles distant En route he met farmer lad and after telling him of his deed, engaged the hoy to drive him 10 town. He said he was going to Little Rock to surrender to Sheriff W. G.

George Mccain of that town who had learned of the shooting and were on the lookout for Coker.

Many closed their eyes and women screamed as his ana chine suddenly plunged directly toward earth. The biplane struck in a large Cak tree which broke the aviator's fall and probably saved his life.

She was admitted to the building and went to one of the rooms, where she secured a reader and wrote the following note on the fly leaf
 Dear Mrs. Griffin and Alma

- THE Wisconsin railroad commission
has ordered an average reduction of 70
per cent in express rates. Every ex-
press company operating in Wisconsin
is included in the ruling. The action
comes in connection with proceedings
brought by the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' association of Milwaukee.
The order becomes effective June 9th.
Under the official graduate scale now
in force, the scale, starting with min
imum of rs cents increased by five cent
steps, and for all these scales most
commonly applied, the rate on 65
pound package, and for several scales
even as great for SO pounds as for 100
pounds. Under the rate ordered by the
commission the minimum is Il cents,
and the increase up to the 100 pound
rate is evenly distributed over all the
different weights. The effect of this
change is to make drastic cut in the
charges on the smaller shipments,
which constitute the bulk of business,
and leave the charges for the larger
shipments comparatively unchanged.

Hit at GOssiperS.

If you don't want to get in bad, and
awfully bad, cut out the gossip. Quit
talking about your neighbors or you are
liable to be hailed into the municipal
court without any warning and be
forced to pay fine of $500 with an al
tentative of long term in the county
Jail.
This is real advice, for Gov. Meow
ern has 'ust signed the Gossip" bill,
recently enacted bv the state leglsla-
ture, and officials of Dane county are
expecting that there will be lot of
prosecutions under it. The new law IS
not exactly law against Islander,
but it is a law against gossip. 1t IS
different from any other law ever en-
acted in any state in the union, and 1T
is passed with the express purpose OF
preventing gossip. Little sighting re-
marks refectiug upon the character
and reputation of women are especially
taken care of in the new law which be-
came effective last Friday. Under the
law any person who makes defamatory
statements rejecting on the good name
or reputation of another is subject to
arrest on criminal warrant. The bill
is considered the acme of progressive
legislation" Abusive language cases
have been frequent in the courts of
this country, but under the new law it
is certain that prosecutions for SANDER
with a heavy penalty of the law will be
even more numerous.
Wisconsin is getting lots of publicity
as result of the enactment of the
gossip measure, and the manner in
which the law works out will be watch
ed with interest. Again the one best
bet is, "Cut out the gossip. Slough
ton Courier-Hub.

THE laws of trade are memorable and
the Democratic party cannot change
them by laws or threats. If manufac-
turers, deprived of protection, cannot
match cheap foreign labor by nearly as
cheap home labor they must go out of
business. 1t is highly probable that
the American manufacturers, who have
built up and sustained business through
the existence Of tariff which offset
the rates which it imposed on foreign
goods and the difference between for
eign and domestic cost of production in
wages paid, will be compelled to close
down their works and their army of
employees will be left without work. A
tariff that eliminates the difference in
wages and then threatens to punish
those who would adjust matters to
keep the workers employed IS unfair to
the manufacturers and the employees,
with its ultimate effect upon all lines
of business.
