TENNESSEE WANTS
HISTORICAL GUN

The Tennessee Historical society is
eager to acquire ID. Boone's Tru
Fren," the gun with which Daniel
killed many Indians during frontier
days. A letter, NJ. NJ. Quaife, super
intendent of the Wisconsin Historical
society announces, has been received
from D. r. Haworth, superintendent
of schools in Johnson City, Tenn,
asking for picture of the gun and
suggesting the gun itself be turned
over to that state, as its historical
value is much more important to Ten
nessee than to Wisconsin"
The gun was presented to Wiscon-
sin by Assemblyman j. i. Grindell.
It was owned for many years by c.
w. Rafter, one of the victims OF the
recent Platteville explosion. Mr..
Haworth wrote further:
"It was within eight miles of John
son City that Daniel Boone killed a
bear in 1850 The tree stood till two
years ago. Older people recall the
distinct words: D. Boone cilled Bar
on trEE in YEAR 17G0.' 1t is evident
that it was the same rife you have
that Boone used in killing that bear,
and we would like vorv r'uch to have
a good picture of the gun, showing
the words and notches (supposed to-
renresent numbers of Indians killed.

THE KRUGER TRIAL

The constitution of Wisconsin and
the constitution of the United States
both provide that person accused Of
crime shall have fair, prompt and
impartial trial. Careful provision is
made by law for selecting a jury so
as to exclude men who are. prejudiced
in the case up for trial. The law of
evidence developed through centuries
OF experience, throws around the ac-
cused person all reasonable protec-
ton. He is presumed to be innocent
until by legal evidence he is proven
guilty beyond reasonable doubt The
Kruger trial recently held here was a
most reassuring example Of the stabil-
fly of our system of government. Ey-

SLIGHT DROP IN PRICES

Though consumers can see no diff
ference as yet, it is gratifying to learn
of a slight drop in wholesale prices
during the first two months of the
new year Marked decreases in the
two MONTHS says the Monthly Labor
Review for March of the bureau of
labor statistics, took place in several
of the commodity groups, food, ETH,
dropping from 207 to 204, cloths and
clothing from 246 to 231, and metal
products from 1873 to 172." Smaller
decreases are shown in farm prod
ucts, fuel, lighting and lumber, while
there is no change in house furnish
ings and miscellaneous. increased
from 2O4 to 2O6.
Among important articles whose
wholesale prices averaged less in jan
uary than in December are mentioned
cotton, corn, hides, tobacco, butter,
cheese, eggs, lard, corn meal, bacon,
hams, cotton and wooden goods, cattle,
sheep, peanuts, poultry and potatoes.

BILL DEATH TO
636 SCHOOLS

According to figures of the state de-
partment of education, the Roethal
bill, requiring rural schools with
fewer than ten pupils be closed and
provision made to transport the pupils
TO union schools, would end the life
of one-tenth the country schools Of
the state. There are $685. rural
schools, of which $50 have fewer than
ten pupils. Mr.. Roethal said the bill
is not designed to destroy the public
school system in territory in which
the parochial and public schools are
strong. The senate committee on edu-
cation will offer an amendment.

SAME OLD, SWINDLE

One of our Virginia subscribers
sends us a strange letter dated Mad
rid, Jan. Is, 1919, which one of his
neighbors received and which they
wish to have explained, as on one can
read it, says the Pathfinder This
letter is written in Italian and it is in
teresting as showing that the Span
ish swindle" is still in full swing.
This sWindle has been practiced for
many years. The Pathfinder and many
other papers have repeatedly exposed
it, and our government has even is
sued denunciations of it. And yet, as
there is sucker born every minute,
it continues to flourish. The letters,
which are sent out from Spain by the
swindlers, vary somewhat in details,
but they all bear the same ear-marks.
This one goes on to say that the writ
er was unfortunately arrested in Mad
rid and thrown into prison on a
t1'umped-up charge and that his mon
ely, as well as that of his dear daugh.
ter, has all been used up Sometimes
it is a beautiful niece that the sharper
mentions to his susceptible victim.
The prisoner says he has $360,000 in
America and that his object in writing
the letter is to get reliable person,
who can keep a secret, to secure this
money for him. AS a reward to this
person for his kindness and trouble
he will give him third of the money.
AS it is against the rules to receive
any communications in prison, it will
be necessary to carry on the negotia-
tons through a trusted friend. This
OF course is for the purpose of cover
ing up the trail of the real offender.
The friend to whom the answer is to
be sent is given as E1nesto Mendoza,
and his address as Bravo Murillo 81,
Madrid. The writer, who signs him
self only as IN S." urges absolute
discretion" on the part of the recipi-
ent, who is cautioned to respond by
cablegram and not by letter Many
Americans of a-credulous sort have
been caught by this notorious swindle
in the past. In some cases they have
been induced to go to Spain and take
along all the money they could scrape
together. Needless to say, they would
be stripped by the sharpers of all
they possessed and turned loose with
out copper The Spanish govern
ment takes a philosophical attitude to-
ward the swindle and does nothing
vigorous to put an end to it. Perhaps
they figure that any cash that can be
brought into their country at the ex-
pense of those rich American dogs"
is just so much to the good, even
though the process may be shady
Swindiing letters, when received by
people, should be turned in to the pos
tai authorities at Washington, but the
swindlers are slippery fellows and it
is hard matter to catch them.

A Kansas City negro says he was
passing a shop out in front of which
swung a big ham, suspended by a
rope. The rope broke, the ham fell
on his shoulder, and he couldn't resist
the temptation to carry it home. This
puts Kansas City in a class with De-
