Hallowe’eners did some disgraceful work
about the property of the M. E. church here

test against it. Piling stones, boxes and
boards against the door of a church where
religious services are to be held aext day is
by no means civilized but belongs to heath
ens.

Found No Discontent.
“It is possible that there are corners
in this country that have escaped me
where there is discontent, but if so |
have not found them. In every town,
had almost said hamlet, iz every city
and county, in every state I have found
the individual saying to himself:
“‘l am contented here, because |
know what will make this city, or this
town, or this county, the best in the
state, and I am going to do that very
thing.’
“And In respect to the ambitions of
the people it is the same; every one
is pround to be a citizen of the town
or county or the state, and all proud
to be Americans and to rejoice and
thank God taat the starry flag waves
over us, united country.”
The president spent sixteen hours
in this city, more time than he gave
to Chicago or San Francisco. Here ip
Jackson they say that Mr. Taft is the
first president who ever discovered
that the city is on the map.
Jackson appreciated the complimen’
and did her best to make the presi
dent's long stay in the city pleasant
The Mississippi folks certainly did
their best to make the president's ac
quaintance, and Mr. Taft was equally
cordial and chummy.
Jackson Had a Busy Day.
In carrying out this Taft celebration
Jackson had a good many things to
contend against. There was a state
fair, a circus, a balloon ascension and
a parachute jump. The circus and the
balloon ascension alone would have
discouraged the ordinary city, but
Jackson managed to keep the circus
parade and the Taft show separate.
The circus outfit, with its long line of
wild animal cages, Indians and bare
back riders, waited In a side street
until the Taft procession had passed
and had disappeared into the state
fair grounds. Then the circus bands
struck up and followed on down the
street, thus enabling the Jackson folks
to kill two birds with one stone. The
president helped swell the gate re
ceipts of the Jackson fair just as he
has those of many other shows on his
trip. The president acknowledged
when he started out from Boston that
this gate receipt swelling business was
to be one of his chief functions, and
fair managers have met him more
than half way.
Gives $1,000,000 to Fight Hookworm.
John D. Rockefeller has given a mil
lion dollars for the eradication of the
hookworm, *he lazy man’s bug of the
south. The disbursement of the money
will rest with a committee of twelve,
of which John D. RoRckefeller, Jr., is
a member.
The idea of going after the hook-
worm in a scientific manner presented
fteelf to Mr. Rockefeller some months
ago, and since then he has been mak-
ing inquiries personally and through
his agents as to the possibility of
fighting it.
Discovers a New “Dope” For Butter.
Professor H. W. Conn, of the bac-
teriology department at Wesleyan uni-
versity at Middletown, Conn., has an-
nounced the discovery of bacteria
which, added to the inferior brands of
butter, will make them rival in taste
the finest outputs of June butter. Sev-
eral years ago he discovered bacteria
which would ripen butter. At first the
farmers lavghed at the idea of ripen-
ing butter by this method, but now all
are using Professor Conn’s bacteria or
a substitute for them.
Aimed at Dog, Killed Friend.
Washington, Pa., Nov. 2—Norman

Twelve Men Killed In Mine,
Twelve men were killed in the Cam-
bria Steel company's coal mine, twn
miles from Johnstown, Pa., as the re
sult of what is supposed to have been
a dynamite explosion.
Three men escaped with their lives
by a perilous climb on life ladders
through poisonous mine gas and falling
slate up the steep walls of the main
shaft. At the time of the explosion
only fifteen workmen, all track layers,
were in the mine.
It is not expected that the cause of
the explosion will ever be learned
from the men who were at work in
the mine, as the three who made their
way to the surface are lying in the
Cambria ho-pital here at the point of
death. They were almost suffocated by
the smoke during their perilous climb.
The explosion occurred as the work:
men were putting their tools away at
the end of their day's work. The con:
cussion caused by the terrific subter
ranean blast caused many windows in
the mining village surrounding the
Cambria mine to be broken into bits.
Hundreds of persons gathered at the
mine entrance within an incredible
space of time.
A force of men, working in shifts,
! began clearing the debris and fallen
| slate in the lower levels of the mine
hours before the workers gained per
ceptible headway. When the final bar
rier of rocks was passed the rescue
party found twelve huddled forms
close together, the bodies indicating
thé men had died of suffocation.
Prince Ito Assassinated.
Prince Hirobumi Ito, former Japa-
nese president general of Korea, and
probably Japan's foremost statesman,
was assassinated at Harbin, Manchu
ria, by a Korean, who had followed
bim there for the express purpose of
killing him.
The motive of the assassin, who was
arrested with two companions, was
revenge.
The venerable Japanese diplomat
was acknowledging the noisy welcome
that had greeted him as he stepped
down from the coach that he had oc
cupied in the railroad train. Smiling
and bowing, he turned to make his
way toward the Russian finance min-
ister, M. Kokosvoff, who was awaiting
him on the station platform a few
paces distant.
shots, fired in quick succession, were
heard, followed by the cries of those
who were standing near the prince,
who had ei‘her beer wounded or im-
agined themselves to be. At the second
report Prince Ito staggered and fell
fainting. It was subsequently found
that he had received three bullets, two
of which entered the abdomen. Prince
Ito did not recover consciousness and
died twenty minutes later.
Father and Son Drown Together.
E. C. Holland, a prosperous farmer,
and his twenty-one.year-old son Rufus
were drowned in the Breadkiln river
near Milton, Del, when a small skiff
in which they were riding was upset
in midstream. Their bodies have not
been recovered,
The father and son had been fish-
ing and had rowed up from the Lewes
river into the Broadkiln. At the jetty
they met the steamer Marie Thomas
on her way from Philadelphia te
Milton.
To make better time they hailed for
& tow and soon had a rope
and were pulled up the river
steamer. At a small creek,
home, where they wanted
the elder man stepped to
the boat to cast off the
weight and the rate of speed
they were going combined to
se of the little craft under water
and sink it.
The two men were wearing heavy
gum boots and as they went over
board ciapsed each other in arms.
