THE PROFESSIONAL WORLD. $1.50 Per Year in Advance. School Management. The teacher whom we should all strive to imitate reaches her schoolroom before the ringing of the first bell in the morning, carefully adjusts the window shades, looks to the temperature and ventilation of the room, and has all things in readiness for the coming of her pupils. The young people coming into the room are impressed with the perfect order and neatness which all things suggest. Their wraps are hung upon their own hooks in the wardrobe, and by their conduct we are assured that abundant consideration will be shown to those who desire to use the few moments of the early morning for study. On a shelf or table to which all have access are magazines and papers selected because of the fitness of the material which they contain. The pupils have been greeted by a pleasant "good morning," or a word of welcome from the teacher, and a tardy or absent mark is a rare thing in this school. The opening exercises are interesting and helpful, and the teacher often uses this opportunity for the purpose of bringing before her pupils heartculture material. When the classes are called, no loud signals are given, but all hear and obey. The name of the pupil who is to answer the question always following the question asked. We notice also that this teacher has a way of making her pupils feel at home when reciting, thus enabling them to give their best thought to the topics before the class. The pupils speak so distinctly that all members of the class can at once hear what has been said. They never interrupt one another while reciting. The teacher has carefully looked over the advanced work, knows the amount of subject-matter contained in the pages and takes time properly to assign the next lesson, knowing that the successful preparation of it by her pupils will depend largely upon how the assignment is made. If necessary she suggests or explains how best to attack certain parts of the work, yet is always careful to leave for the pupils' own discovery everything that can reasonably be expected of them. Whenever possible the teacher makes discipline take the place of government, realizing that no child in all the world needs to learn self-reliance and self-control more thoroughly and more completely than does the young American. In this ideal school a business promptitude exists in all its tran sactions. Everything is on time and continues so throughout the day. Many a boy or girl will be more honest, exact and punctual in maturer years because of this influence. The individuality of each pupil is also respected, and no one is ridiculed, tantalized or made fun of. The delicate, sensitive, shrinking nature is respected and protected. In the management of this school the teacher believes that one of her higher duties is to develop in her pupils a right concience and the sentiment of honor. Daily, besides her regular work, she finds time to read something noble, grand and uplifting, and comes into her schoolroom with a soul made rich and beautiful by the life she lives and with a purpose that leads to noble and lofty ends. Her pupils catch the love-light from her soul, and are thus persuaded to become like her. Ever thoughtful and considerate for others and the work she is doing, she adds new life and cheer to the school room. Thus she stands before her pupils as a guiding star to their lives. No more in the hearts of these pupils will a teacher find an abiding place whose aim is anything short of the ideal. School boards, parents and pupils are looking for and demanding these higher ideals. Never before in all the history of our country has the educational standard reached such a high plane as to-day, and never before have teachers of sterling worth been in greater demand.—Supt. E. J.

The execution of a colored boy at St. Louis after his reprieve had been ordered by the Governor is a disgraceful example of over-eager zeal to perform official duty. The sentence of the court called for the execution of the prisoner between 6 a. m. and 6 p. m., and before 10 minutes of the period had elapsed the work of the hangman had been completed. It is morally certain that had the boy been white instead of black he would not have been the victim of this uncalled-for haste. With such object lessons repeated from time to time, it is little wonder that race antagonism in the south refuses to die out.—The Omaha Bee. CITY NOTES. Dr. J. E.

My own experience has led me to believe that the occasion of dull days lies entirely in myself. I had long attributed them to other causes—the ill-lighted schoolroom, the damp, lifeless air, the dark clouds, the stupid text-books, the slow children, the long sessions, the monotonous programs. I had so many ways of accounting for them that I found that they were becoming an almost everyday occurrence. Instead of changing the weather, banishing the mud, introducing new books, and sending away my dull pupils, I tried to improve myself. I set myself steadily to look One Price to All.

NO. 25. for bright days, rather than for dull ones—I did all that I could to make them bright. Bright songs, varied gymnastics, new busy work, sunshiny stories, merry lessons—even bright ribbons with my dress were brought into requisition. I followed Mrs. Childs's plan, and hung prisms in the windows to multiply the sunlight and the beautiful color spots. When the rainy days did come, we chose our prettest pictures, told our brightest stories, sang our cheeriest songs, played our merriest games, and resolutely tried to make up within doors for the sunshine which was withheld out of doors. It was a success. The dull days disappeared from our calendar. And the brightest days of all were the rainy days. When I came to realize that the fault had been in myself, I was thoroughly ashamed. I put myself in the place of the children—a process I had neglected before. Then their need forbade any miserable thought of self, and the hard places in my work were forgotten in the endeavor to fill their days with sunshine.

THEY ATTACK AN AMERICAN DETACHMENT. Force Under Baldwin Fired Upon by Concealed Foes in the Mindanao Hills—No Americans Slain While Enemy flas a Number Killed—Ad- vance Halted Upon Orders front the War Department. Washington, D, C., April 23.—Gen- eral Chaffee in a telegram dated Ma- nila today, tells of operations in the vicinity of Dalabany. Lieutenant Col- onel Baldwin cleared the trail to Lake Dapao where he was joined by Moore's battalion and mounted battery. Moore was fired on from the hills in front and on the left. The assailants were driven off. Baldwin drove the enemy two miles when they scattered. General Chaffee continues: “There were no casualties to our troops; seven Moro bodies were found, the opposing Moros were from Pinel- las village, Whose fort in sight Is fly- ing the red flag. “ The yam delegation has arrived at Baldwin's camp from Geneasi, making absolute submission to the United ‘States authority under the terms of my proclamation. | “Yesterday morning there was an affair of a few minutes with the sultan of Paulao’s men, who attempted to re- occupy the grounds cleared the day be- fore, and they were forcibly dispersed, Baldwin says it will be necessary to re- duce the force 2 Pulas if it continues hostile, before passing it, General Davis has ordered Baldwin not to as- sault any fort or occupy hostile places until two weeks time which was grant- ed the Moros to surrender the murder- ers, has expired, “In order to expedite matters yours of yesterday was sent at once to Gen- eral Davis and was received by him at 10:50 p. m. He has ordered Baldwin to abstain absolutely from any aggres- sive movement and he will favor in every way possible a friendly confer ence, To withdraw all our forces will rain our prestige; to withdraw part of the force would be dangerous.

IN DEFENSE OF _ TREATY. Danish Foreign Minister Advocates Sales of West Indies to United States. Copenhagen, April 23.—The lands- thing today considered in open session the treaty for the sale of the Danish West Indies, The foreign minister, Dr. Deuntzer, made a strong pro-sale plea, covering the various arguments of the opposition against the sale of the is- lands. He caused a sensation by read~ ing statements from the United States’ ofticial publication showing that Esi- rup, the leader of the opposition, of- fered to sell the Islands to the United States in 1892, when Estrup was prime tainister and minister of finance. Dr. Deuntzer also ridiculed tno fear of the opposition that the United States congress might refuse to appropriate $1,000,000 to purchase the islands, and controversed the arguments against the treaty because it did not confer citizenship and free trade on the is- landers, pointing out that the Danish constitution does not extend to the is- lands, and that Denmark does not enjoy free trade, while, he added, a recent Gecision of the supreme court of the United States insured the islands im- mediaie free trade with the United States, Ex-Premier Redtz Thott and the min- isterial leader, Madsen Mygdal, follow- ed, praising the growth of liberal in- stitutions in the United States, and de- claring tre sale insured the prosperity of the islands.

San Francisco, April 21.—Chief of Police Wittman today officially an- nounced the murder of Nora Fuller, who disappeared in January last, was by C. H. Hadley, for 14 years an ac- countant in the business office of a lo- cal newspaper. The girl left home Jan. 16, to answer an advertisement for a nurse girl, and a month later she was found murdered in a yacant house. Hand-writing Expert Kylka declares Hadley wrote the advertisement. Miss Clara Dixon, who lived with Hadley, made a statement to the po- lice in Which she says she saw Hadley for the last time on the morning of Jan. 16. On the day of Hadley's dis- appearance Miss Dixon was preparing a bundle of washing for the laundry, when she came across several of Had- ely’s undergarments stained in blood. ‘These garments the woman burned. Miss Dixon explained that after Had- ley’s disappearance she buried some of his clothes, and gave other articles to her brother-in-law. She said the Nora Fuller stories frightened her, and ad- mitted to the police that she suspected Hadley of having had some connection with the crime. Miss Dixon said the handkerchief found in the room where Nora Fuller's body was found was similar to some owned by Hadley. She positively iden- Ufled certain writings of the man Haw- kins as being Hadley’s handwriting. Miss Dixon siates that Hadley was the possessor of false mustaches and beards, She thinks Hadley’s right name is Stuart, and his mother is liv- ‘ing tn Chicas. FOR MURDER OF A DOMESTIC.

Senate Passes the River and Harbor Bill Without Debate — Senator Dietrich Presents a Substitute for the House Cuban Reciprocity Bill —Mensure to Repeal Philippine Sedition Laws—Matters in House. Washington, April 22—Without a word of discussion of the merits of the measure the senate today passed the river and harbor bill, carrying about $70,000,000. So thoroughly had the bill been considered by the commerce com- mittee that every senator was content that it should pass as reported from the committee. As no senator was prepared today to begin the debate on the Phil- ippine government bill after a few min- utes of informal discussion it went over until tomorrow. Senator Dietrich of Nebraska today introduced a bill to authorize the presi- dent to enter into reciprocal agreement with the permanent government. of Cuba respecting trade between the Uni- led States and that island. It provides that when the permanent government is established the president shall be authorized to enter into such agreement with Cuba whereby the United States binds itself for a period of five years to pay the government of Cuba certain sums at fixed periods as reductions in duties. Senator Dietrich said the bill was intended as a substitute for the house Cuban reciprocity bill.

During the general debate on the military academy bill, Mr. Gilbert of Kentucky precipitated a discussion on the race question, which was partici- pated in by Representatives Gillett of Massachusetts. Blackburn of North Carolina, W. W. Kitchin of North Caro- lina, Gaines of Tennessee and Cochran of Missouri. Mr, Gillett discussed the question of the alleged violation of the neutrality laws in connection with the shipment of mules and horses to South Africa, ‘The agricultural appropriation bill which was reported to the house today carried about $5,200,000, an increase approximately of $650,000 over the ap- propriations last year and a decrease of about $300,000 from estimates. ‘Work of the Committees. Washington, April 22.—Arguing be- fore the hows? committee in favor of amending the interstate commerce laws 60 2s to make the act more effective President Knapp reviewed the extent to which rate cutting is carried on, He expressed the belief that the remedies to be applied should go higher than the subordinate traffic managers and should reach those who profit to a large amount as a result of the rebate sys- tem. ‘The ways and means committee to- day ordered a favorable report on the bill to refund taxes upon legacies for the use of libraries, literary, charitable or educational purposes, ete. ‘The conferees on the Chinese exclu- sion bill met today, but reached no conclusion, Washington, D. C., April 23.—The formal discussion of the bill temporari- ly to provide for a government in the Philippines was begun in the senate to- day.

He denounced the bill as an unwarranted imposition on the Filipinos, declaring that it would establish one of the foul- CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the , Signature gy of if In or Use For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA est oligarchies in the history of the world, He maintained that the Philip- pine commission was given too great power by the bill, and he asserted that under its provisions the islands would ve exploited for private gain. While he was speaking, two efforts were made to maintain a qourum, the second resulting in a lively tilt among the several senators, Senator Scott of ‘West Virginia intimating that the ar- gument could not influence any sena- tor. Day in the House. Washington, D. C., April 23—The house today by a vote of 75 to 72 re- jected the claims attached to the omni- bus claims bill by the senate aggregat- ing $1,800,000, and on the heels of that action non-concurred in the whole of the senate amendment (the various items having been ruled to constitute a single mendment) and sent the bill to conference. ‘The military academy appropriation bil was passed today after the limit of the cost of the improvements at West Point had been reduced from $6,500,000 to $5,500,000 and the amount of the ap- propriation from $3,000,000 to $2,000,- 000.

Washington, D.

Where clover will grow and Short- horn cattle are kept don’t expect to buy a farm for much less than $80 per acre. A whole lot of eager homeseekers are buying farms west of the one hun- dredth degree of west longitude in the Dakotas, Kansas and Nebraska and are going to come to grief. ‘That is a stock country, not farming land. We think that where so many as fif- teen cows are kept in the farm dairy some arrangement srould be made to have one man do all the milking and give him plenty of time in which to do it. It certainly would be better for the nee A field of corn planted thickly for fodder was dragged until it got to be six inches high. While some of the corn was thus destroyed, there was still plenty left, and it only required two plowings to make a perfectly clean field of corn, There is a peculiar significance con- nected with the Biblical phrase which refers to “the grasshopper as a bur- den” when it is known that 40,000,000 out of the 3,000,000 square miles of the land surface of the globe are subject ed to the scourge of these insects. ‘The United States furnishes Eng- land with 63 per cent. of her bread- stuffs and 65 per cent of her meats. So long as England is compelled to thus depend upon the United States for her yery living there wil be no serious ruction between the two countries, Darwin once picked up a wounded pigeon by the wayside. Its leg had been broken, and in its contracted claws was a little lump of earth, This Darwin planted to see what vegetable life it might contain. From it he pro- cured fifteen varieties of plant life. Right now, during the last days of April, is the time to set out the straw- berry bed. We have sometimes thought that the doing of this might almost come under the head of legitimate Sunday work, for the doing of it is certainly a work of necessity and mercy. When a sixteen-year-old boy, unskill- ed in every particular can secure as wages on a farm $20 a month, his board and washing, as he can do today, he alone is to blame if he is not worth $1,500 by the time he is twenty-four years old.

These are al- ways high prices, and the almost uni- versal desire to try new things leads many to invest their money. Our ex- perience with these novelties leads us to remark that in most cases they are best let alone, they seldom proving, to possess any merit over old varieties and quite frequently being utterly worthless. Just what is expected in the way of work for the hired man on the farm should be fully talked over and put into written contract form before closing the deal, If a man agrees to work ten hours in the field and put in an hour doing chores before breakfast and an- other after supper. and agrees to help do the chores on Sunday, let him stick to his bargain. If he does not want to work 12 hours a day, let him do his Kicking before he commences work, One of the most common troubles for the landlord is the difficulty of getting a good tenant, and in very many cases the landlord is alone to blame. He is too stingy to put the farm in such shape that it will be an inducement for a good tenant to take it. Good tenants will not rent poorly equipped farms and pay tribute to a mean landlord if they can help it, Some men are too mean to own a foot of land anyhow. Whe Gaunter Loafer. We have run across him several time the past winter. He was hatched among the corn and potato fields, usu- ally the progeny of some hard fisted, avaricious old granger whose only pur- pose in living is to get more land. As a boy, deprived of a boy's rights, like enough worked too hard, living in an atmosphere of greed and unrefinement, he gravitates naturally just as soon as he is big enough into a rural smart Aleck, taking to cigarettes, beer drink- ing and the periodical raising of the devil in orderly country communities. He has no manners except bad ones. When he looks at a young woman, he leers at her. He is unpleasantly con- spicuous . at horse races, circuses, Fourth of July celebrations and camp meetings, the legitimate prey of fakirs and sideshow grafters, an all ‘round nuisance and really the very poorest and most worthless product of the fer- tile farms of the country, coarse, loud- mouthed and never well dressed or groomed, as his city cousins sometimes is. This ill begotten chap is the direct antithesis of that industrious, patient, ambitious farm boy who gravitates from the cornfields into the highest places in politics, commerce and the religious and educational life in this country. Whv Not? In nearly every community there will be found not more than two or three women who know how to cut and fit ladies wearing apparel. ‘These are crowd- ed with work, while scores of other women are lamenting the fact that they have nothing to wear and can’t get the services of a dressmaker. Now. these helpless ladies can nearly all of them do nice work in some, line or otaer which does not count for much, ‘They can paint a little, do a little fancy needlework, make doilies and gauzy handkerchiefs, play a little on the pi- ano, stir up a mess of angel's food, make aprons for a church fair, em- broider on canvas a red dog barking at a blue parrot, run some women's club for the elevation of the sex, do a lot of correct society calling (after they have ben able to get the aforesaid dressmak- er) and read a lot of the latest histo- rical trash. Now, this is written by a man, and of course ke may be dead wrong, but all the same we want to know why, so long as dress means so much to woman's comfort and happi- ness, the girl should not be taught how to ctit and fit her own clothes in place of teaching her to do a lot of the useless things above mentioned. Old fogy no- tion, you ladies say, Well, maybe that’s so, but for all that hardly any one thing ‘would do so much to make a woman in- dependent.

A reliable young man, a good farm hand, who has worked out by the month for farmers for the past ten vears, stat- ed before a farmers’ institute this win- ter that the farmer would get more satisfactory work out of his men if they were not required to work so many hours. He sald that where work be- gan at 6:30 so the morning and ended at 7:30 at nignt it would pay to give the men two hours’ nooning instead of one. We believe he is right about this. ‘A few days since we traveled over a section of the West where 25 years ago one might have traveled for a stretch of 40 miles and never have seen a tree. ‘Today this once wild and bleak prairie js a beautiful panorama of high priced Yarms, with timber to be seen In every direction—groves on nearly every farm; these groves, without doubt, per- forming a most beneficient work in breaking the force of the winds and modifying extremes of temperature. The Morteace Had Him. While we do not know the man's name and did not see the chattel mort- gage, we have not the least doubt but there was one with this place in Its grip. All the farm tools were left out in the flelds—movor, reaper, plow, aker, hay loader, Three stacks of grain were still unthrashed in February, We learned that a few years ago the owner had been left the farm by his father clear of incumbrance. This young man had a liking for low life in the town— beer guzzling. pool and poker and the ke—and in five years he landed at the bottom minus reputation, eredit, money, the resnect of his neighbors ‘and ali that makes life worth living. He was staying the year of redemption out on the place, and then the end must come.

If you want to set out an asparagus bed this spring, do this: Cut old roots into three pieces with a sharp spade, prepare your bed, digging up to a depth of a foot. Fertilize heavily, using well rotted stable manure, or the surplus cats and dogs of your neighborhood could be well planted right here and give good returns. Cut none at all the first year and sparingly the second, but after that as liberally as you like. Do. not cut after June 20, but allow all the growth to mature on the bed, These directions followed out will give you an abundant supply of one of the finest vegetables the garden affords.

Mrs. Delphenia Lange Hagwood was born December 25, 1848, and died April 16, 1902. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Lange, senior, both of whom have departed this life many years since. Early in life Mrs. Hagwood united with the Christian church in this city, and remained a consistent Christian until her death. Several years ago she removed from Columbia to St. Louis, where she lived until the time of her death, which was the result of a surgical operation. She leaves two brothers and six sisters to mourn her death. Mrs. Hagwood was one of the first teachers in the public school in Columbia, which was known as Cummings Academy, and now as Fred Douglass school. MACON NEWS. The Library Aid Concert given Friday evening by the teachers and pupils of Dumas school was a success. Bethel A. M. E. church was crowded. The pupils of each room rendered their parts satisfactory to the audience and teachers. The Cantata "Trial by Jury" was highly appreciated, and those who took a part in it have been asked to repeat it at an early date. The library books, costing $52.50 are all paid for now, and the teachers and pupils feel very grateful to the citizens of this city for their hearty support. A very sad and touching funeral was held at the A. M. E. church Sunday. Mr. Hunter Perkins, who was reared here, but had gone to St. Paul about two years ago to seek employment, took very sick the 12th, and died the 16th in that city. He was 22 years of age. His parents are not living. One brother and four sisters have the sympathy of all who knew him. Oscar Lobbins narrowly escaped very serious injury last Thursday. He was thrown from a wagon in which he was standing and was carried home in an unconscious condition. He is able to be out again. The members of the Choral Union who so ably rendered "Trial by Jury" Friday evening, were tendered a reception Tuesday evening at the home of Prof. T. B. Burris. Mr. Henry Long, a veteran of the civil war, was buried Thursday. The Afro-American Woman's Club will meet Thursday, May 1st, at the home of the president. General discussion. Subject, "Our part in the World's Fair of 1903." Rebecca H. Burris, president, Emma Bragg, secretary. SAVING TIME. Much time is usually wasted in our churches by preliminaries, announcements and explanations, which like the letter, kills, and which, like the spirit does not make alive. Churches should not be made an intelligence bureau, usurping the province of the newspaper which should serve as the medium to convey public information. The usual church notices should be bulletined, each week, and placed where the people could see and read without a more formal notice. Those church notices that should be announced each week, if any, should be read briefly by the clerk and rarely commented upon. Upon special occasions the minister should comment upon any very important notice and then very briefly and pointedly. That a "good thing should not be talked to death" is a rule that should be followed in our churches as well as elsewhere. The people go to church to worship God, and they should seek the newspapers to find the weekly announcements in church and secular circles. The observance of a rule not to spend too much time upon routine church announcements—non-essentials—would save time, accustom the people to notice and listen carefully to the brief notices as bulletined or read by the clerk, and save the minister from much false misrepresentation and useless criticism.—The Western Enterprise.

Rural mail delivery is to be established in Boone county, and the first route agreed upon is 23% miles in length. Beginning at Columbia the carrier will go down the Ashland gravel road to a short distance below Deer Park, thence east to the Range Line road, thence north intersecting the Fulton gravel road at the Carlisle School house, and thence to Columbia. There are 127 houses on the route and at least this number of patrons will be served daily. The route was agreed upon last week during the visit of James Nevins, Rural Route Inspector from Washington D.C., who drove over the various proposed routes in company with N. T. Gentry. The inspector in Mr. Gentry's office examined six applicants for the position of carrier; this has not been passed on, but will be in a short time, by the department at Washington. The lucky applicant will receive $50 a month and his toll fees. He will be provided with a neat mail wagon, such as Uncle Sam furnishes his employees on rural routes. The service agreed upon will go into operation about July 1, as there is some preliminary work yet to be done. The government requires the patrons of rural delivery to put up metallic boxes to receive their mail. There are about fourteen approved patterns of these boxes ranging from about $1.75 to $3.50 each. Several other routes in the county have been petitioned for, and will doubtless be established a little later. Among these is one out the Rocheport gravel on the west; another north on the Blackfoot road to Hinton; another to the southwest on the Providence road; and still another northeast on the road to Shaw. All these roads are good, and the routes are feasible. There is no reason apparent why Boone county should not have several of these routes which have been petitioned for. A Pond Saved His Life. George Key rushed into the burning home of William Llewellyn in the east end of Audrain county, hoping to save the contents. Mr Key was nearly burned before he succeeded in finding his way out. He jumped into a pond of water and extinguished his burning garments. Last Year's Drouth. Mr. A. E. Hackett, section director of the Weather Bureau, April 18 was the anniversary of the big drought that has prevailed in this portion of the country for the past year. During the entire year the rainfall was only 17.75 inches, which is 19.17 inches less than the normal. Thus it will be seen that it has been less than 50 per cent of the normal. Newspaper is Sued. Supt. of Marshall Public Schools T. E. Spencer, who has been the head of the Marshall schools for 20 years, by his attorneys, Yeager, Strother & Yeager of Kansas City, and Harvey Cower of Marshall, has filed a petition in Saline circuit court asking $20,000 damages of the Index which is published by O. P. Sturm. The case grew out of the late congressional contest in which it is alleged the Index attacked Prof. Spencer for writing certain articles in the Democrat-News of which he is part owner, and it is alleged, sought to injure him as a teacher for his alleged participation in the said congressional contest as a champion of Hon. Matt Hall against James Cooney—The Index claiming, it is alleged, that he neglected his school duties and violated the good faith of his obligations to the school board who employed him. It is said that R. B. Ruff is the attorney for the Index. Marriage Licenses. John Simpson, Columbia, 21, and Matilda Evans, 17, Hinton. Harold Ingram Bragg and Lucy Garth, Columbia.

Most of the plant has been sold to the Capitol Printing Co. of Guthrie, Ok., and the subscription list and good will to the State Tribune. The latter will thereby become the state democratic paper issued from Jefferson City. The press was organized three years ago by J. H. Edwards and others, and again launched Jan. 1 of this year by the C. B. Middleton Printing Co. with A. M. Hough president, C. D. Middleton, business manager, and J. H. Edwards, secretary. The cause assigned for discontinuance is that the Typographical Union wage scale in Jefferson City is so high that two papers can not be run with profit. Chas. E. Dewey and Ralph E. Oldham have been the editors of the Press since its reorganization. C. D. Middleton will return to Warrensburg and resume the management of the Star after winding up the affairs of the Press.

The Bell Drug Co., Jackson Street, - RICHMOND, VA. reflecting upon the honesty and integrity of Judge Allison, who is Mr. McQuitty's successor in the office of mail inspector. The Jefferson City Press says that before going in the institution Mr. McQuitty was asked to leave his revolver with the warden as it was against the rule for visitors to carry arms while on the inside. When the editor reached the department of the man whom he had been abusing, that official began raining blows over the head of Mr. McQuitty with his cane. The two men were separated but not before the newspaper man had received a gash on the head. The affair has been quite generally commented on by the people and the newspapers, some of whom believe a public official should not be guilty of attacking a visitor while on official duty, however great the provocation may be. Some time ago Mr. McQuilty in his paper made an attack on Judge Allison charging him with taking money and stamps from letters addressed to convicts, but we do not know whether such charge has any foundation in fact. The last issue of the democrat is a "roast" which will probably even up old scores between these two gentlemen. you that you want it used as directed. It is harmless and can be used in the presence of persons and they will not notice it.
