CASE IS STILL UNDECIDED
Fate of A. J. 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

beneath it, fell and was discharged,
the bullet passing through her thigh
from front to back. Fortunately the
bone was uninjured and unless com
plications arise her recovery will be
rapid. 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.
Mrs. James Howe died last night at

cinity and the sad news of her death

ver hopes to be able to give a suit
able sketch of her life in its next issue.

BANANAS, PINE
APPLES, ETC.
WISE TALKS BY U. S. 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.
