Hembree Will Not Settled Before Monday, Sep tember 21. Be - The famous Hembree murder trial, which has been carried through the courts of one county already, and which has been dragging out for two months in Polk county, seems little nearer decision than It was at the be ginning. The argument before Judge George H. Burnett, on the motion ot the defense for a new trial, occupied almost the entire day yesterday, and at Us close the judge adjourned the court until MoDday, September 21, announoing that he would oonsider the evidence and the arguments ad vanced, and render his decision at that session. - The attorneys for the defense express the utmost confidence that a new trial will be granted on the ground of the insufficiency of the evidence on which the prisoner was convicted and they profess perfect satisfaction with the progress of the case thus far. Hembree, who seemed to relapse in to a despondent mood after the close of the session of July 9, now takes a more cheerful view of the case, and seems more hopeful than ever of its successful outcome in his favor. - Texts For Teachers' Examinations. The following will be of Interest to those who intend taking the teachers' examinations in August: State Super intendent J. H, Ackerman aunounced last Wednesday that the sources from which questions will be taken for State and County examination papers are as follows : Bookkeeping, office methods and practical book keeping, part one; physiology, Hutchinson; TJ.S. history, Doub; civil government, Strong and Shaefer ; theory and practice, White's Art of Teaching; arithmetic, Smith; grammar, Buehler; geography, Red way & Hlnman, National School Geography ; psycbolohy, Buell; Eng lish literature, Newcomer, and the fol lowing classics: "Sketch-book," "Rip Van Winkle," Legend of Sleepy Hol low," "Merchant of Venice," "Ivan hoe," "Westminster Abbey," "Strat-ford-on-Avon," "Christmas," "The Spectre Bridegroom." Remaining subjects will be taken from the state text books. Mr. Ackerman has further decided that none of the questions for the August examination shall in any department be taken from the Course of Study, since the limited supply of these books now available would make it next to impossible for many to give suitable preparatory study to that branch of the work. Accidentally Shot With Revolver. Mrs. M. G. Govro was shot in the left thigh yesterday afternoon by the accidental discbarge of a 38-calibre Smith & Wesson revolver.

She suffered considerable loss of blood before a physician could be secured, but is doing nicely, and no serious results are anticipated. Mrs. James Howe Is Dead.

LOUGHARYS' OFFICE BOY A banana peel on the sidewalk Is a nuisance and the man who steps on it usually tumbles to the fact. I think it must be the banana in the brain tha( causes " fellow to make so many slips. I know I have bananas on the brain. Next to those I like pines-good juicy pineapples. They are coming in fine now. Some folks prefer the canned pineapples because they are slightly cooked, just enough to pre serve them. We have a brand of pine apples that are put up on the planta tion where they are grown. When you eat bananas you are helping to pay dividends on trust stock. Did you know that? The price of banana fruit is regulated by a glgantlo trust with its coupon factory In New York. An army of clerks put In all their time grinding out coupons and the stock holders are getting so fatcuttlngthem off that they don't dare eat bananas, because bananas are so fattening. They are now talking of forming a close corporation for handling the pineapple output. Well, this is the open season for all kinds of ripe fruit, pines, melons, peaches, and soon we'll have good eating' apples and grapes. Do you know Loughary's fruit depart ment? Get acquainted.
