SCHOOLS FOR COMMON PEOPLE.

The principals and superintendent
of the public schools of Walla Walla,
Wn., have agreed to do away with the
eighth grade graduations. They give
as one of the principal reasons that
parents are lily able to bear the ex-
pense of the clothes which custom pre-
scribes for their children on such an
occasion. They say, too, that prepara-
ton for this event takes time which
should be spent in regular school
work. Finally, they allege that eighth
grade graduations give the pupil the
idea that his or her school work is fin
ished
All these are good arguments and
all state facts which are or should be
evident to everyone. After all, this
special graduation is late innova-
ton which has slipped into our school
work nobody knows just how. Ger
tainly the teachers do not want 1t,
since 1t means lot of extra work for
them-a work barren of results. Meth

IS THE CONSISTENT?

Yesterday a resident of Moscow
came into the Star-Mirror office and
exhibited two small walls which when
filled would each contain about two
ounces of fluid One of these was
plainly labeled Extract of Vanilla
together with the name of the business
house where it was purchased. In
small print on small label pasted
around the neck of this vial appeared
the Information that the contents are
composed of As per cent alcohol. The
second vial was not similarly labeled,
but was also used for some kind of
extract" and the per cent OF alcohol
was perhaps equally large. These walls
were picked up on the street empty, of
course. and many more similar ones
could be picked up each morning, es-
pecially during the time federal court

nation to conclude what class of peo-

Cleveland Mascot in Court.

CLEVELAND, O., May 14-It all
depends on Municipal Judge Marrow
whether or not the Cleveland Ameri-
can league baseball club will finish
well up in the pennant race. On a
decision which Judge Marrow renders
today hangs the hopes Of some 10000
Cleveland baseball fans and the entire
membership of Lajoies band At
least that's the way the Maps look at
it. Here's the yarn, mates:
Larry" a precocious bull terrier,
up to few days ago was a member of
the Cleveland team All the games
won by Cleveland this year have been
attributed solely and wholly to Lar
ry." All the defeats of the Maps have
been attributed to "Larry's" absence
from the Maps ranks when Larry"
was arrested. Larry" has been the
Maps mascot. Prince Hunley, a col
ored porter extraordinary at local
hotel, claimed that Larry" was hisn,
and he had Larry" arrested as re-
child The dog spent day
in jail when first attached and the
Maps lost to Chicago that day 10 to 3.
Jack Graney, Cleveland outfielder,
says the dog belongs to him and Gran
ey's claim looked good at the start of
today's hearing when Larry" nearly
broke away. from court attendant
every time Graney snapped his fin
gers to him.

REPORT ON COTTON ACREAGE.
Increase OF 2.S Per Cent Over Last
Year Indicated.

New York, April 30.-One thousand
replies OF special correspondents of
the Journal of Commerce. and Com
merc!al Bulletin, of an average date of
April 23, indicated an increase in cot
ton acreage over last year of 2S per
cent. AS many correspondents re-
garded it as too early to make definite
estimates this must be regarded as
tentative and subject to revision in
next months report. A year ago no
estimate was attempted, owing to the
lateness of the season. .
Acreage increase or decreases and
days late or early are shown by States
in the accompanying table:
North Carolina, + 1-3; two days
late.
South Carolina, 90; seven days
late.
Florida, - II; six days late.
Alabama, - O.S; three days late.
Mississippi, 3.5.
Louisiana, 20; three days late.
Texas. SO; ten days late.
Arkansas, As.
Tennessee, - 0.3.
Missouri, = 8; one day late.
oklahoma, 8; one day late.
Average, 2.S.
Important increases are shown in
Mississippi, with 3.5 percent; Louisi-
ana, with 20 per cent; Texas with 3. G
per cent; Arkansas, with 4.3 per cent.
and Oklahoma, with per cent De-
creaes are noted in Georgia, with IL
per cent; Alabama. with O.8 per cent,
and Tennessee, with O.3 per cent.
The lessened fear of the boil weeviI
had induced many farmers to heavily
increase their cotton acreage, Which
Is particularly noticeable i'm Louisiana,
but part of this is due to sugar land
going into cotton. Fertilizers are
more literally used in nearly all sec
tiOns.
Too much rain with low tempera-
lures early in the season left the
ground cloddy and hard. This was
i"llowed by dry weather. preventing
termination and necessitating consid-
cradle rcplanting. Stands obtained
were generally poor. except in Texas,
ana most States are badly needing a
good, warm rain.

were shot and seriously wounded by
Richard Henry Austin, a negro, at I
o'clock this afternoon. The shooting
occurred about two miles from Luray.
Austin had attempted an assault on
the wife of a prominent citizen of this
county. He had previously prepared
himself for the consequences for such
an act by armng himself with a

and a large calibre pistol. The news
of the affair reached the ears Of fffe
citizens of the little town of LfFay,
and spread like wildfre throughout
the county a large body Of armed
men went immediately in pursuit Of
Austin.
The negro was surrounded in a
large swamp, whic'7 was covered with
water and in which the underground
was very thick. In searching the bay
the negro opened fire on the pursuers.
The body of Mr.. Bowers, who was
killed during the first part Of the
shooting, was not recovered from the
bay. His brother, who was at his side
during the shooting, saw him die.
DR.. S. C. Moore another of the
pursuers, was shot with buckshot, the
load taking effect in his arm and
cheek. The wound is serious but the
prospects Of recovery are fairly good.
McTeer Bowers, a first cousin of the
dead man, was shot in the arm with
pistol bullet.
George Hannah was shot in the
back His wound is not looked upon
as being very serious.
The deputy sheriff of the county has
been notified and has left Hampton in
