Tint tvr. tho iiinfrliitfnilfntn and principals of the public schools of Ne- brasKB. In convention unipmlilml vlrtv the assnsslnatloii of our beloved president, Wil liam AIcKlnley, n the grcutext Infamy of modern timet. It wan ho appalling, t.o atrocious, tliut we are as far from being reconciled to It today n on that fatal Afternoon when lift was shot down Ity a foul fiend. In the den th of William McKlnlcy we mourn us noble .1 mnn an ever lived In the tide of times In the fact! of diath his forgiving spirit, his fortitude, hi Christian! faith and heroism were no sublime us to win the admiration of the civilized world. While we extol the virtues f the ilcid, let us not forget our duties to thu living. The enormity of thin crlmo c.ills for better teaching of the rlghtH and duties of citizen ship, for a more respectful attitude toward public ofllcluls, for n greater toll ration of the political opinions of others In the home, the school and on the part of the public. It demands that a distinction ho inatlo be tween freedom of speech and preai mil scurrilous language, venomous editorials and malicious cartoons. The atrocity of the crime calls not nlone for the execution of. the nsp.iHHln, but ll demands that the wily agitators, whose libelous wor.is prompted the direful deed, be muzzled In the Interest of the sacrednoi'8 of law nnd the righteousness of government. We b? llcvo that In such cases to silence the anl tntors Is not only constitutional, but It Is withal timely and provident. Tho evils of unrestricted Immlgrntli n. whether arising from a lax execution of our laws or from a lack of wholeeomo legislation, are among the gravi. problems which demand of the American people an honest effort for their solution. Let our teachers, our legislators, our rulers and ot,r people stand ns one man In promoting the dignity nnd the wl.-dom of our nation by a proper enforcement of ami obedience to Its laws. There Is a different e between the "consent of the governed" and the "dissent uf the ungovernable." A re. public does not mean anarchy. Liberty h not license. The blessings of free govern ment arc gained only by yielding to public reason and tho general welfare. Ciiminnn-lisw Marriages, What constitutes a common law marriage Is discussed at considerable length In a brief filed In tho suprcr..c court today In the enso of the University of Michigan against Daniel McQuckln, for which a rehearing has been allowed. McQuckln, while living apart from hla common-law wife, borrowed some money from tho university and upon a foreclosure being attempted tho wife claimed exemption of tho property. The lower court gave the university a Judgment, but declared the mortgago void. From this an appeal was taken and by the supreme court the judgment was nlTtrmcd. The case turns upon the question: "Does the fact that n man Introduces a woman as his wlfo constitute a common-law mar riage?" Regarding the subject the attor neys for the appellants say: "It will not do to say that because a man Introduces a woman to his friends nnd rela tives as his wife that that Is sufllclcnt to prove a contract of marriage or Is equiva lent to a declaration that they 'then and thero take each other for husband and wife.' It Is true that mutual assent to then and thero bo husband nnd, wife when expressed by words Is nil that Is necessary, but In the case of common-law marriage It Is necessary, when the marriage Is proved by the language Itself, to bo proved that they have In substance declared that at the present time they take each other as hus band and wife. The fact of nn Introduction as a wife Is simply one of the circum stances which may be used as evidence tending to raise tho presumption that thcee declarations or promises to be husband and wife have been exchanged. If a man nnd woman should both declare to their rela tives In substanco as follows: 'We were married In New York last week,' It would not constitute proof of their marriage, ex crpt as It was competent as an admission and, f It should turn out that no marriage bad taken place, tho admission would go for nothing. That Is, the declaration must be made that they do, at the time of the making of tho declaration, take each other as hutband and wife, not simply that they have at some'tlmo prior thereto, been mar rled or expect at some future time to he married. We take It to he essential, as Is o repeatedly laid down by the statute, Sunrise or Sunset? Which shall your mirror siy? If the former, then your hair is rich and dark, long and heavy; if the latter, it is short and falling, thin and gray. The choice is yours, for Ayer's Hair Vigor always restores color to gray hair, stops falling of the hair, and makes the hair grow long and heavy. Your Hair Vigor has turned my hair from gray to Jet-black. I am thank ful for what it has done for me, and I intend to keep on using it." Mrs. Wm. Sriciif, BechtelsviUe, Fa, II.H. AIMntth. that there must be a mutual declaration or promise to be husband and wife. IJrlvra Out KsiiiHH Concern. Secretary Roysc of the State Banking beard this morning notified the local rep resentatives of the Home Co-operative company of Kansas City that they must cease doing an Investment business In thti state. Thu business transacted by the company Is of a nature that would bring It under the Jurisdiction of the banking board. No license from the state board has been obtained and until one Is taken out -the company must tuspend operations. The company advertises a plan whereby. It says, a man can gain possession of a home In sixteen years and eight months by paying the sura of 15.35 a month. Tho applicant first makes a contract with the company In which he agrees to pay a tee of (3 and a monthly asjessment of 11.35 a thousand. The contracts are determined In the order of their nilug. one of the agree ments being canceled for each $50 paid In by the customers. When a man's con troct Is terminated he can borrow monev. The company, according to Its printed cir cular, agrees to examine the title of tho property which the customer wishes to pur chase, loans a sufficient sum of money and takes a lien on the premises. The man pays the money back In monthly Installments without Interest. Death ter minates the contract and' liquidates the debt. The same terms apply to disability. Itentitillcnn Rsmpnlgn Speeches.

ENCOURAGING REPORTS FROM 0RCHAR0S Tree In Central town Counties Have Done Well Farmers Tarn to re run", Peanuts, Tobacco, I'.tc, for Variety In Agriculture. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la., Oct. 19. (Special.) The Iowa farmers arc manifesting a dis position to more and more diversify th-)lr crops and to avoid the mistake of relylog too much on any one thing for success. The reports from various sections of the state this year Indicate that progress has been made In several directions. One croD about which llttto Is ever hcqrd has proved to be a great success In Iowa this year. This Is the peach crop. Iowa Is not known as a peach growing state, and yet there arc not far from 160,000 peach trees In the orchards of Iowa, and from these trees there Is gathered annually a great many line peaches. But It Is only about once In four or flvo years that tho peach orchards of Iowa bear to their full ca pacity. This Is .one of the years and tho ptach crop Just gathered has been ono of the largest ever known In Iowa. The peach belt In Iowa 11m along the southern border. There aro peach orchards In all the counties of the southern two tiers. The peach belt follows up the Mis sissippi and Missouri rivers at either end of the belt, extending as far as Davenport on the east and Council Bluffs on the west. There are also a few Isolated sections where peaches are grown farther north. For In stance, there are a great many peach trees In Carroll county and a number In Wood bury county on the lowland. There are also a number In northeastern Iowa coun ties. The scattered trees In gardens and groves In central Iowa havo borne good fruit this year. Near Colfax, In JaBper county, Adam Fir- ber reports fine fruit on his trees. E. S. Russell, near Oakland. In Pottawattamie county, has splendid fruit. John Molcr. county supervisor In Poweshiek countv. gathered a crop of 600 bushols of fine peaches. James Turner of Carroll countv gathered a bushel of peaches off two young trees In his garden. Jacob Connar of Keokuk county regularly plants peach trees cvory year and has young ones coming on to take the placo of those that die. He has peaches every year. W. O. Wilder of Marshall county picked fine peaches from his orchard and E. D. Mendcnhall had a fine lot of peaches In his garden In Mar shalltown. Nelson G. Malln of Columbia has a number of peach trees Just coming tr.to bearing nnd from one he picked more than a bushel this year. He will plant 100 ttecs next spring. New Variety from Ohio. In central eastern Iowa the horticultur ists are watching with Interest the results of planting a variety of peach introduced Into Iowa by Dr. J. S. Dalley, who brought the seed from Ohio and planted an orchard near West Branch. The orchard was highly successful, and seed from this orchard has been planted In many other counties of the stnte. and generally the trees have proven hardy and good bearers. It has been demon strated that with some care and attention good peaches can be raised almost every year. But It Is In the extreme south part of the state that the peach Industry flourishes. There are great orchards In Lee, Davis, Jefferson, Dcs Moines, Wayne, Taylor. Fre mont, Page and other counties along the Missouri line. Of course these trees bore unusually well this year, and as a result peaches went to waste In many orchards. A sample orchard Is that of J. A. Fletcher, In Page county. He has 2,600 bearing peach trees and as many more young ones that will be bearing In a few years. His neigh bors call hlra "Peach Joe" to distinguish him from other Fletchers, and he Is a peach crank, thoroughly devoted to his fad. He bends the young trees down and covers them over for the winter nnd carefully cultivates the orchards. Ho began fifteen years ago and believes he has made a great success. He has about forty varieties of peaches In his orchard, mostly seedlings, for ho has found that seedlings do better than tho budded trees. Ho began gathering peaches In June and was at It in October. At thu best of tho season he sold the peaches to neighbors by the wagon load at 25 cents a bushel, but these were tho fruit that dropped off, while his finest fruit, picked by hand from the trees, commanded a good price. Applet) Prove Profitable. Apples have been a profitable crop In southwestern Iowa this year. Reports In dicate that the entire crop of apples was sold for from $2.60 to $3.60 a barrel where grown. Tho winter apples In Iowa this year are the finest ever known. Many of them havo been shipped to eastern markets to take the place of apples from sections that have had a failure this year. Buyers have appeared In Iowa from New York and Chicago, only to bo disappointed at finding tho crop all sold In advance to commission houses at good prices. To some extent this state of affairs compen sates Iowa for having to buy potatoes In Minnesota and Wisconsin. Somo other of the new industries In Iowa aro making progress this year. For in stance, the tow Industry in northern Iowa Is coming to the front. Several small tow mills have been set up and the flax from which seed has been gathered and sent to market Is being worked up Into a material used by upholsterers for padding. These tow mills have greatly enhanced the value of the land where they are In operation. Peanut ISapcrlmenta Gratify. Peanut raising has been taken up In northeastern Iowa by gardeners and farm ers. Fred Chestcrman of Dubuque county this year raised a fine crop of peanuts of good' quality, though not quite as large as those from Virginia. He chose the south west side of a bill for bis experiment and Is well satisfied. In Allamakee county pea nut raising has been common for some time and the nuts regularly reach the markets. There Is a pecan grove on an island In the Mississippi river near Camancte, Clin ton county, and about 175 trees are found growing there. The pecan Is supposed to be" a southern 'rult, but this grove was discovered about ten years ago and has borno nuts every Tear. The United States experiment stations have been supplied with nuts from the grove to be planted In northern climates. A number of experi ments have been made In Iowa with auts from this grove and It Is believed northern pecans will result. The tobacco Industry In northeastern Iowa Is also reported to be In a flourishing condition this year. Tobacco Is grown regularly In about a dozen counties and it Is generally shipped to the factories tu Wisconsin for use. Drops Dead In Courtroom. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 19. (Special.)

NOT A PEER AT VICTORIA'S DEBUT LIVES Before Her Day the Assuming; of a, Crown Is a Matter of More Fre quent Occurrence and Royalty Gets Accustomed to Details. (Copyright, 1001, by Press Publishing Co.) LONDON, Oct. 19. (Now York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Aspiring peeresses havo had the most extravagant plans for self-adornment at the coronation of King Edward. One who has Inside Informa tion says: "Their coronets especially were to be dreams of magnificence, rivaling tbo Imperial crown Itself In the display of diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, pearls and the rest." It undoubtedly was to head off theso am bitious dames, to prevent their eclipsing In magnificence royalty Itself that led the earl marshal, tho duke of Norfolk, to Issue nine months In advance his proclamation of Instruction. He had a good excuse for so doing. It Is sixty-three years Blnce the late sov ereign was crowned and no peer or peeress, who as peer or peeress has ever attended a coronation, will attend the coronation of King Edward and Queen Alexandre. There are, Indeed, a few personages, among them the duke of Cambridge, who were present at the coronation of Queen Victoria and are still living, but tbey were not present as peeresses, and. therefore, have no per sonal experience of the manner In which peers and peeresses obtain their sum monses and should be coroneted and robed when responding to them. These proclamations were not Issued In connection with the coronation In June, 1838, of Queen Victoria, until the preced ing month of April. There could have been then' only a comparatively small num ber of peers and peeresses who had not at tended or had not been given the oppor tunity of rttendlng once or even twice at solemnities of the august character. More Frequent Coronations. Seven years before, King William IV and Queen Adelaide had been crowned.

Since peers and peeresses are permitted to adorn themselves with th'lr coronets only on tho occasion of a coronation, It Is perhaps fortunate for many that coronets are not costly. Silver gilt circlets and strawberry leaves, spikes and silver bells, do not seem Imposing as Ir.slgnla of dignity. But to Judge from what show they now mako In the goldsmiths' shops, they aro not without distinction, and when they are worn it may be safely predicted that they will look as well and Impress the multitude as much as If they were the genuine articles for which they are the heraldic equivalents.
