(From a Start Correspondent.)

eral papers were read by prominent edu
cators, resolutions on the death of Presi
dent McKlntcy were adopted and officers

tional council, J. D. French, Hastings.
Deau L. A. Sherman of the University
of Nebraska discussed "The Emotional Elc
ments In Heading" before the association.
Superintendent Thomas of Kearney spoko
of the Intellectual elements and tho me
chanics of reading wero treated by Miss
Lucy Williams.
The committee on resolutions, consisting
of J. L. Alcllrlen. E. L. Rouse, V. F Stock
dale, II. H. Hahn nnd W. L. Stephens, sub
mitted the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved. 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."

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.

IOWA PEACH CROP IS GOOD
Incruilnf Iitcrtit ii th Growing af This
Fnit in tanthara Oouiti.
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.

NOTABLES HOME FROM EUROPE
Cheate, Morton and Greene AmonM
Passenger Arriving at New
York on Philadelphia.
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Joseph H. Choate,
Unltod States ambassador to Great Britain,
former Vlco President Levi P. Morton and
General Francis V. Greene were passengers
on board the steamer Philadelphia, which
arrived here today from Southampton.
Mr. Choato was met at the steamship
pier by his law partner, A. W. Evarts, and
for a few minutes they walked up and
down the pier talking. After the ambassa
dor's baggage had been passed by the cus
tom officials the party hastened away from
the pier. Mr. Choate was unwilling to
discuss the reasons for his return home or
to talk about the Isthmian canal treaty. He
said:
"I cannot talk about this matter, nor
would It bo right for me to discuss possi
ble treaties. I have hod a most delightful
trip across and have enjoyed myself very
much. I shall remain over here until New
Year's and, of course, shall go to Washing
ton to confer with the president and Secre
tary Hay. I shall not go to Washington for
a few days."
A number of other questions regarding
England's attitude on the canal question
wero asked the ambassador, but to all of
them he smilingly gave the same reply
that he would not discuss these affairs.
Mr. Evarts, who left the pier after the
ambassador's family bad driven away, said
that the ambassador had gone to catch an
early train for his summer home at Stock
bridge, Mass.
CRUSHED UNDER AUTOMOBILE
Frederick II. nenedlct Killed and

WEST POINT. N. Y.. Oct. 19. An ac

In tho almost Instant death of Frederick
H. Benedict, son of S. C. Benedict, and
perhaps the fatal Injury of Grenvllle Kane,
guest of Mr. Benedict.
Mr. Benedict and Mr. Kane, with a chauf
feur, started from Tuxedo In an automobile
for West Point, to attend the toot ball
game. A thunderstorm came up and the
fall of rain made the roadway slippery.
In descending a hill, the chauffer lost con

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. Ten
years before that the coronation of George
IV, the most gorgeous aud most expensive
on record, bad been celebrated. Most
members of tho peerage were, therefore,
familiar with the steps they were re
quired to take In order to secure a sum
mons to attend, and not only knew what
coronets and robes they were expected to
attire themselves In, but had in their pos
session tho coronets and robes which they
had actually worn.
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.
Prlvlleice au Acquired One,
"Originally," writes an export In such
matters, "peers and peeresses had no cor
onets such as they are now entitled to
bear. In the old time the distinctive head
covering of a duke was the chapeau or cap
of estate, or, In other words, the cap of
maintenance, which It Is now the heredi
tary privilege of tho marquis of Winches
ter to carry ou a cushion on certain oc
casions of state. Marquises and earls,
who wear circlets of gold, were not per
mitted to add caps to them uqtll much

"The sovereigns of England from a fa
mote period, according to 8lr Harris Nico
las, down to King William IV, have ever
proceeded to their coronations In the robes
of estate of a duke, with the cap of estate
upon their heads, and formerly the act of
coronation consisted of placing rnon the.
ducal cap of Normandy the royal diadem
of England!
"It Is to be remembered, however, that
the effigy of he Black Prince In Canter
bury cathedral exhibits on the helmet n
coronet of leaves, possibly that of tho
principality of Wales, which was likely
enough tho prototype of the present ducal
coronet.
Caprice In Coronets.
"But long after the Black Prince's time
coronets appear to have been, so far as do
slgn Is -mcerncd, the result of Individual
tasto or caprlcj. The coronet of Richard,
earl of Warwick, the king maker, on his
tomb, is a plain circlet surmounted by
balls, but without strawberry leaves, while
the coronets of other earls of about the
same era, as may be seen on their monu
ments, differ even more from It than they
do from an carl's coronet of the present
dar.
"It was only In the sixteenth century
that the coronets of dukes, marquises and
carls definitely assumed the sbapo In which
they now appear, and It was not until the
reign of James I that viscounts were ac
corded coronets at all. At the Restora
tion, Charlos II accorded coronets to bar
ons, a plain gold circlet with six sliver
balls, as now worn, Previously they had
worn, first, h scarlet cap guarded with
miniver, and then a crimson cap, turned
up with ermine, with a gold tassel on the
top. But Sir Syroonds d'Ewes, In bis ac
count of the coronation of Charles I, ex
pressly mentions that when the higher
grades of the peerage put on their cor
onets tho barons sat bareheaded."
