COMPLIMENTED BY VISITORS

There were a number of visitors at
the last. meeting of the local Knights
of Pythias lodge who complimented
members of the degree team confer
ring the third rank on a number of
candidates. There was to have been
a big list of men to take this degree;
however, several found it impossible

just getting well organized since the
war, is doing what is termed most
excellent work and there will be much
of it done according to the petitions
for membership being received.
There were a number of applications
received and there will soon be con-
siderable business at the meeting on
next Thursday night. The member
ship of this organization is receiving
an unusual impetus throughout the
country. However there are few
making better records than the Rich

dence that the American anar-
chist fighters, who it is believed
caused the disastrous explosion IN
Wall Street Thursday, will be
brought to justice soon, was ex-

scene of various bomb explosions
in June, 1910. that the same
crowd o fterrorists is responsible

UNITE ALL EFFORTS
TO SOLVE MYSTERY
Senator Brock Here With Blud-
geon That Killed Teacher
Noted Sleutks At Work

While the grand jury at Harlan
which has been investigating the
mysterious Staying of Miss Lura Par
sons, a young school teacher near
Dillon, has adjourned until Monday,
there is no let up in the work of in
reports have it that there will be
some sensational developments dur
ing the next few days. Special de-
tectives from Cincinnati have been
employed on the job of ferreting out
the perpetrator of the crime, and
they are working night and day, it is
said. There are many noted persons
interested in the developments, since
they asert they will leave no stone
unturned to fathom the mystery and
bring the guilty to justice.
Among these is Senator II. N.
Brock, who has been very actively
engaged in the work of investigation
since the reporting of the crime. The
special detectives are being rendered
all assistance possible, and they are
advancing along line of investiga-
ton that may be productive of inter
esting- developments at any time. One
of them especially is recognized in
Cincinnati and other large cities as
being one of the shrewdest workers
and solvers of mysteries in the coun-
try. He has been offered more lucra-
tive work, together with a title in
the official world, by one of the great
detective agencies, but has refused,
being desirous of doing all good pos
sible in his home and vicinity.
Senator Brock, accompanied by J.
J. Tye, of Barboursville, was in Rich
mcnd en- route to northern city. They
had is their possessionthe piece of
rail, or rough slab of wood, with
which it is almost positively known
the unfortunate woman was beaten TO
death. This ghastly trophy is to be
minutely examined for various rea-
sons and full directions and instruc-
tions are in possession of those in
charge of the bludgeon. This exami-
nation may develop an indirect or
even a direct clue, but this is all that
is known of this phase of the case at
this time.

HEAVY FROST 10 YEARS
AGO TO-DAY IN RICHMOND

"Speaking of frOsts," said r. G. HI.
Covington, 81 will remind you that 10
years ago today there was heavy
fr0st-one that wrought great dam
age to corn and what tobacco there
was at that time although the pro-
duction was nothing, as | remember,
to what it is at present. Mr.. Coving-
ton said also that heavy frost at
this time would not only play havoc
with tobacco, but would certainly be
very injurious to corn, since stalks
are very green and still growing, ow.
ing to the continued rains.

TURKISH FEZ DISAPPEARS
WITH MARCH OF PROGRESS
(By Associated Press)

(BY Associated Press)
Constantinople, Sept. 17.-With the
crumbling of Turkish authority and
influence, the fez, the badge which all
Turkish subjects, Christians, Jews
and Turks alike are supposed to wear,
is rapidly disappearing. Although the
Moslems still, wear their fezzes in the
streets, they no longer cling to them
slavishly indoors. Soon the Turks
may be wearing hats with brims in
Constantinople. Moslems in other
parts of Turkey insist the Mohamme-
dams in the capital lost their religion
long ago through their desire to i'm
itate the infidels.

STUDENT ARMY
VANGUARD ARRIVES
Influx Which Will Fill Normal
Has Begun-Facuity Meeting
Is Opening Feature

The vanguard of the student army
at Eastern Normal was recorded Sat
urday morning, more than score ar
irving from remote parts of the state.
Most of the early arrivals are those
residing in portions or the state not
affording the best train facilities, thus
compelling the to start early in or.
der to make the trip, since Sunday
trains in some localities are almost
unknown, when small town accommo'
dations are considered.
There was a surprise in store fol
Miss Marie l.. Roberts, dean of ,wo-
men, who has been arranging a sched-
ule of accommodations and placing
the students along the line of reser-
walton. Long before the week was fin
ished she discovered that tse number
for this time of the year excelled that
of former years by many. 1t is believ
cd the opening of the cottages for the
first time in the schools history for
this purpose will be necessary in or
der to accommodate the large num-
ber This indicates another very sue
cessful year.
The arrivals are expected to in
crease during Sunday, and Monday is
expected to be a big day, since there
will be an influx, according to the en-
rollment, that will tax the efforts of
the entire receiving service. The build
lngs were never in better condition
and there has been a constant report
ing of faculty members, returning
from their summer work. Few Of
them enjoyed a vacation, almost ev-
eryone engaging in some special work
during the summer. All teachers
have reported and the faculty is COM
plete and prospects are good for an
other record-brealing term.
The list of studies is greater, the
lines of special entertainment and
training more extensive and there
will be a line of sports introduced
that will appeal to ALL
The first faculty meeting, in prep
aration for the start the first of the
week, called to order on schedule time
Saturday afternoon by President r.
j. Coates, who also presided, was
productive of much interest, instruc-
tion and enjoyment. There was a
meeting of the members of the facul-
ty, who had an opportunity to eX-
change greetings and discuss the
work before them. 1t is believed by
the officers that the corps of instruc-
tors and faculty as a whole is the
most complete and competent while it
is known to be the most extensive in
the schools history
The regular studies will be well un-
der way the first week and the var
ious branches will be taken up by the
newcomers as the week advances. All
have been properly assigned, with the
exception of those not reporting the
special lines desid, and this will be
done upon their arrival. The unusual
attendance speaks well for the efforts
o fthe officers and instructors of the
university during the campaign for
patronage and the highly successful
year closed some time ago is placed
on record as one very complimentary
to all.
