The fourth annual conference of farmers Institute officers and workers wai held at Purdue University Oct. U and 10 according to previous announcement. Llghty-two counties were leprcsented. each by the county chairman or hi: deputy. A large number of institute speakers were al-o in attendance. The aggregate number present was about two hundred. At th. opening Fession Mr. Alexander Johnson, of Fort Wayne, Mr. Cal Husselman, of Auburn, and Mr. II. F. McMahan, of Fairfield, showed, respectively, the relations of the agricultural press, agricultural organization and agricultural education to the farmers' institute work and pointed out how the institutes might be helpful to these several agencies for the promotion of agriculture. At the second session, which was especially for county institute chairmen, the details of arranging for and conducting a ucces.'ful farmers' Institute and reporting the same were clearly brought out in a number of brief talks by Institute chairmen. At the third session Professor Coulter folnted out how the farmers' institute can ntere?t the school children in agriculture, President Stone discussed "What the Agricultural College can do for Farmers' Sons and Daughters ' and Miss Laura O. Day, of Kansas, read a paper emphasizing the Importance of training in domestic science as a part of a college education for women. The fourth session was devoted to suggestions for enlarging and improving the institute work. At the closing session Ihn 'Qualifications of Institute Speakers" was thoroughly discussed. Those in attendance evinced much Interest in the question of agricultural education as a means of agricultural progress and prosperity. At no previous conference of institute workers has there been so general and so clear a recognition of the importance of agricultural education in promoting the advancement of agriculture. The view seemed to be general that this education should begin as nature study In the primary schools, extend through the Intermediate grades and high school and culminate in the agricultural colleges. With the exception of Miss Day. of Kansas, the speakers before the conference were wholly from points in Indiana. Mot of them were county chairmen and practically all everyday farmers. The clearness, conciseness and directness of their discussions showed plainly that our best farmers are not only thinking and reading men, but that they are also rapidly acquiring the power of forcible and pleasing expression of their views In public. . 311X11 HAIMKJAD ACTIVITY.

OMAHA Neb.. Oct. Chief of Police John J. Donahue to-day received a letter Irorn Pat Crowo raining the terms on which he w-ill surrender. The letter came in care of an Omaha newspaper, in which

it is published, and covers fifteen closely written pages of manuscript. The postmark Is not legible, but the letter was mailed at S o'clock in the morning and reached this city at 8 in the evening of the same day, indicating that it had not traveled a long distance. In the letter Crowe agrees to give himself up at once and stand trial for the kidnaping of Eddie Cudahy, provided he is not locked up until a jury shall adjudge him guilty. He says he Is unable to furnish bond in excess of ?X) and demands that ball be fixed in that sum. Chief Donahue when asked his opinion of the genuineness of the letter expressed himself as quite satisfied that it came from Crowe. Donahue has known Crowe for several years, Is acquainted with his manner, handwriting and style of speech. The chief also received a letter from Crowe's uncle at Manchester, la., submitting similar terms for Crowe's surrender, which leads the police to believe that they are dealing with the right man. Crowe s letter to Chief Donahue begins: "J. J. Donahue. Chief of Police, Omaha, Neb.: Dear Sir Nearly a year has passed by since I was accused of the Cudahy kidnaping. A large reward was offered and plenty of time has been given for the police and detectives to have made me a prisoner. So far they have failed to do it. Now, I wish to make a short statement to you and the public." Crowe then takes the detective agencies to task, defying them to attempt his arrest, and continues: "iNo Mr. Donahue, let me tell you all I want is justice, a fair trial by twelve men. citizens of Douglas county, Nebraska. Not by Herod or any of his kind. Their God is gold and with that power they rule the world. Donahue, all I ask is a square deal. Grant my request and I will give myself up. Mr. Cudahy has known me for thirteen years. He now believes me guilty; nevertheless. I think he will give me a fair trial, as all ho wants Is the public to know the truth." He then expresses confidence that the county attorney and sheriff will give him a fair trial, and says he has known Governor Savage ever since he was a barefooted boy on a farm In Iowa, and says the Governor has identified him at the banks in South Omaha when Crowe was In business there. The letter expresses regret that he has fallen into ill-repute, and then lays down the conditions of his surrender as follows: "Now, Mr. Donahue, I will give myself up to you. if you will promise me upon your word of honor that I will not be locked up until the Jury says guilty. And if the jury says that 1 would take my punishment like a man. without a murmur, I can give a bond of $50) and that is all. If the court will not accept that 1 am a fugitive from injustice. "Your answer to this must bear the signatures t f Edward Cudahy, Governor Savage, Sheriff John Power, Attorney Shields, Chief J. J. Donahue and the judge that fixes that bond. "Mr. Donahue, I want you to understand that I am not afraid of the combined Wealth of all the Cudahys on the earth and the united efforts of all the scrub detectives that their money can hire. The man that tries to pinch me will bite the dust, for I am ready to die in the mix. I will not be kangarooed. "You say it is your business to deal out justice. 1 will take you at your word. Give me. a square deal. Leave it to a jury of twelve citizens. Chief, I ask. but I do not expect to pet, Justice." The letter then states that the chief vould not know him; that he weighs two hundred pounds, and is looking fine. He says he has been in South Africa fighting with the Boers. He closes the main part of his letter by saying he regrets that Mr. Cudahy should suspect him of kidnaping the boy, and hoping soon to receive a reply from the chief, which he directs should be made throuph a local paper. This part is signed "Pat Crowe," but the signature is partly erased and four page3 of postscript added, In which Crowe says If his offer is not accepted he will return to a foreign country, from wnich he probably will never return. He then recites a few reminiscences, discuses the Boer war and its causes, and signs tho postscript with th name "Pat Crowe." To-day Chief Donahue received a letter from an uncle of Crowe, whose name he retuses to reveal and who lives In Manchester, Ia. The letter offers terms for Crowe's surrender, and Is as follows: "As there is a reward of $30,00) hanging over the head of Pat Crowe, he wishes to state to you and the police of Omaha that if the reward is withdrawn he will surrender himself and stand a fair trial in the courts of Omaha. State of Nebraska. Reward to be withdrawn on or bfore Nov. 1." This letter was written on the letter head of an Iowa railroad and signed by Crowe's uncle. Chief Donahue said to-night that he would request the city and Mr. Cudahy to withdraw tho rewards which have been offered for Crowe's arrest and conviction, with the provision that Crowe surrender himself. He said that if Crowe gave himself up he would be given all the advantage the law provided and would be afforded time and every facility for securing such witnesses as his attorneys deemed necessary. Mr. Edward Cudahy said to-night: "I am opposed to entering into any special negotiations for the return of Crowe. It Is only a matter of time when he will be apprehended. However, I will withdraw the reward offered for his arrest and conviction."

TO FH EVENT WATER POLLUTION.

Suit in Madison County Will et the Puce for the Gas Belt. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 13.-The whole gas belt is interested in the stand taken by Madison county farmers against the pollution of White river by the refuse o. factories. Delaware county has had many suits and attempt after attempt to enjoin the factories from polluting the river. Grant county courts have had similar experiences, but none of them have amounted to much. A few weeks ago a largely-signed petition was presented to the State Board of Health from this county, asking the board to assist In the matter. The Union Traction Company was complained of in that instance. Governor Durbln advised moderation in the matter and hoped that some reasonable adjustment could and would be made. It was largely through his suggestion that suits were not then begun to test the rights of both parties. But the suits now being brought will be taken as precedents in other counties whose Etreams are used as natural sewers by the factories. The sentiment in Anderson is largely in favor of the factories.

Of Two AVliitc Men, Kaoli Thinks He Fired the Fntnl Shot. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 13. Two menJohn T. Doyle and Martin Clark, both white are in jail here charged with killing a negro named Henry Campbell last midnight. Each surrendered, believing that he fired the fatal shot. After being ejected from a saloon in which both white men were employed Campbell went home, secured the rifle which he carried in the civil war, and, returning, opened fire from the doorway. Clark secured a pistol and Doyle a Winchester and each shot once. Th negro fell dead, a bullet having passed through his body. The bullet could not be found and the coroner could not place the responsibility. The Negro's Vote. Minneapolis Journal. The Atlanta Constitution complains that the negro does not seem to care whether he votes or not, this because numbers of negroes are emigrating from Georgia, where theoretically they are free to vote, to Mississippi, where they surely cannot vote. This is what you might call naif. A little while ago the complaint In the South was that the negro wanted to vote. Certain step; at first extra-legal, now legal in several States were taken to keep him from voting. After twenty years of ballot-box stulhng. intimidation and false counting, designed to make the negro's voie of no avail and sequentially causing him to put but slight value on the franchise, which has now given place to the era of exclusion from the right of suffrage by legislation, the Constitution complains that the negro doesn't care to vote. In brief, the negro was taught by the whites that his vote was of no avail. Now the negro, having learned that his vote is of no avail, has lost interest in it. Therefore let the negro be condemned as an electoral failure. But why should the Constitution waste space talking about the negro's valuation of his vote? To all Intents and purposes he is out of politics in the South and is likely to stay out. The South has provisionally at least, settled the negro question on its political side In its own way and the North seems to have acquiesced. Had Been "West. Carleton's Magazine.
