STATE, PURDUE COULD NOT SEND INSTRUCTORS HERE. aa will m rirt efinrt rmirsA nf I nstruction in the Judgment of corn, and animals at Centerville, or any other place in Wayne county this winter, as expected. It was decided at the meetins of the executive committee in charge of the arrangements of the school, yesterday afternoon, to wait until the winter of 1011 before holding another school. However, boys corn clubs will be organized in all of the township schools - this winter, which will be of practical benefit to the students.;'." . The reason why the corn school will not be held this winter is due to the action of the authorities at Purdue University. They have so many calls for schools of this nature that they cannot accommodate all.. It was at their request, since they could give no official attention to a local corn school this winter, that the committee postpone the event for one year. The officials of the university promise that Wayne ".'county shall benefit from pro. fesslonal Bervce of their instructions a year hence. The Purdue authorities sked that if tne scnooi was flisconunuea ior one year, that boys' corn clubs be formed 1' nas many localities as possible. The university officials will furnish all information which they believe will be of benefit to these schools. WHITNEY IS WANTED Millionaire Sportsman Weeded To Settle Pole Con- ; troversy. A STATEMENT BY EXPERT t (American News Service) . New.Yorki, Sept. , 18. ''The importance of the position of Harry Whitney the millionaire sportsman, in the Peary-Cook controversy, can not be over estimated," declared a prominent supporter of Dr. Cook today, after he bad read the following message rteived by wireless from the liner Oscar II: - ' : V. k "Since neither Harry Whitney nor the Eskimos who accompanied me to the north pole were at liberty to tell Commander Peary or his agents that we had been at the pole, all reports emanating from that source are necessarily incorrect. I "Theargument of the equipment by one who has not seen or heard of the equipment is pure nonsense. , "The entire misunderstanding is due to the fact that Whitney has, given evasive answers. When he returns all will be cleared up. Whitney will sail down the American coast, probably entering Hudson Bay to hunt big game. Dr. Frederick" A. Cook. "DR. FREDERICK A. COOK." , The message makes it apparent that Cook swore both Whitney and his Eskimos to secrecy before leaving north- .. ern Greenland. . Dr. Cook's message was forwarded to Commander Peary immediately after being received. Peary's friends in this city declared it as their belief that the commander would not reply to it nntil he arrived in New York. GOES AFTER RECORD , Roy B.

Athletics Defeat the Tigers. .. ' Philadelphia, Sept 18. The Athletice shut out Detroit, 2 to 0, in -the third game of the pennant deciding series in , the American League before the greatest crowd that ever watched a baseball contest It was estimated that more than 36,000 fans were crowded into Shibe Park. Fully 15,000 were unable to gain admission. Bender, always a hoodoo to the Champions, proved this afternoon no exception,, though pitted against the man Who usually proves a Quaker Jonah, "Wild Bill" Donovan. It was a great pitching duel between the pair with the Indian getting the better of the argument ' Detroit played desperately. For three Innings, the teams battled without issue behind phenomenal pitching. Then the Athletics crowded out a run lead after Detroit failed to score in its half. Collins paved the way with a double. He took third on a sacrifice and scored when Donovan threw wildly for first; for what should have been the third out It was this same little second baseman who then cinched the game for his eide in the eighth. His single scored Heitmueller, who had also hit safely and advanced on a sacrifice. Today's victory cuts down Detroit's lead for the pennant to three full games. The final exhibition of the series will be played Monday. Phila delphia must take this game to have a look in for the flag.

A Varied Millinery Display - Shown in the Richmond Shops

E. B. T. Hats! Hats! Hats J And just to think there are so many different shapes and patterns that the fair ones" can select most anything they desire, providing of course it is becoming. , The newest Ideas in mil linery always delights the feminine eye. Yesterday at a local shop a prospective buyer was gazing at the gorgeous array of costly hats. After taking the price of several ranging from fifteen, twenty-five dollars and on up she exclaimed, "Oh. dear, what will John say?" And the . observer echoed her refrain "Poor John." But nevertheless these beautiful creations are necessary. The three predominating notes in the millinery display are the Cavalier, Gainsborough and the Tricorne. In a variety of materials from heavy ottoman silk to beaver and marten. and even sealskin, the changes in these three prevalent styles were artistically and deftly wrought Willow plumes and algrets, wings and silver braid, form the chief feature of the trimming of these attractive creations. One notable Tricorne is of sage green with a plentiful admixture of gold and a bunch of algrets set jaunti ly on one side. Another is built uniquely of sulphur color beaver, and edged with wide silk braid, which forms a flat bow at each of the three SHIP STROCK ROCK (American News Bervlc.) Liverpool, Eng., Sept 18. Cable advices received today say that the steamer Fantee of the Elger .Demp ster Line, struck a rock off Cape Palmas and that one of her holds is full of water. MRS. ELIZABETH K. LEWIS. A letter is received by Mr. George H. Smith from Blue Springs, Mo., near Kansas City, announcing the death of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Lizzie Lewis, at her home in that place, after a very long illness. She was the widow of John H. Lewis, of this county, and afterward of Randolph, whence the family moved to Blue Springs many years ago. Since Mr. Lewis's death, the wife and daugh ter remained at the home and there the mother was tenderly cared for. Mrs. Lewis had many friends for she was a woamn of unusually engaging qualities, social and generous, and her home was a well known seat of hospitality. She leaves three children Charles I, of Hot Springs, Ark.. Oliver M.. of Oklahoma' and Narcissa J., of Blue Springs. There are also six grand children. Oxorgiaxa: Our chef says Gold Medal Flour only.

sides. An aigret also completes this charming bit of millinery. At what might be termed one of the most inexpensive millinery establishment of the city the keynote to the artistic display was simplicity and good taste. Small hats shaped like toques and built high, with folds of velvet and in some cases old fashioned plush revived from its contemptuous disuse, are the top notch of the fashion. A conspicuous place In the opening was given the little three cornered hat of the Napoleonic origin, trimmed jauntily with feathers and rosettes. Silver and metal braid is worked into the trimming of the hats and a notable feature is the saucy little aigrette which thrusts itself into prominence on many new creations. Wings and feathers and unlimited velvet bows galore and an absence of flowers, these positive and negative advance fashion notes were gleaned at the display. But ear friends what woe! Madame La Mode has decreed the death warrant of the once popular peach basket hat and nothing with a tendency to droop '"all the way round" will be tolerated in the fall's up-to-date hats. Plumes are to be the thing and the hats will simply be loaded. One might say that the newest fashion In hats practically resolve themselves Into three classes, the Cavalier, the Sorrell turban, and what is known as French colonial, in shape resembling the familiar Tricorne of four years back.

A FLORAL AIRCRAFT A floral aircraft is on display In the show windows at 1010 Mai nstreet. the exhibit of the Fred HL Lemon Floral Co. The craft is patterned after the Bumbaugh airship which will be seen in six flights in this city during tha fall festival, October 6-7-8. ,The craft is very beautiful, including id its make up almost every kind of popular cut flowers.

college, on the corner of North Twelfth and B 6treeta : .'.....--. William Jackson conducted 'an academy In this building from. 1989-1870. He taught with his wife. Anna M. Jackson. Mary J. Turner. Elizabetn Mendenhall and others. ' High school subjects were taught Many of our prominent . citizens -of today attended this academy, preparatory to entering college. ' Public Schools. It is probable that all the legislation until 1S31 was of little or no avail to the people of Wayne county. In 1S31 an Important revision of the law was made. Trustees were to be elected in each congressional township, with subtrustees in the districts, whose duty It was to call meetings of voters who were to decide whether ther would be a public school in the district or not, and to look after the building, if there was one, and the hiring of the teacher, etc. In ISM The Common School Fund was established by the state. ;; School sections were also being sold at this time. Both of which gave an impetus to educational affairs, and many new school houses were built over " the county. It is supposed that Richmond, took advantage of this law. and it is known, that as early at 1S33 a School Commissioner was elected to look after schools In the city. , In 1S4S there was another revision of the school ' law which provided schools be maintained in each district for a term of three months each year to be paid from the School Fund.

Stagg issued final orders coon after his return, calling every candidate to the initial workout on Monday.

Nine "C men lined up. and the "siros" and last year's freshmen will raise the squad to a fair else.

Cornell game at Ithaca November 13. As usual I am going "to take each game as it comes, for there is a chance of a slip-up against either Purdue or Indiana. The biggest problem I have just at present is the back field. With the Quarterback position still up In the air. I cannot do much in the way of placing the backs. I have not decided on any of the back field positions. Page and Rogers might both make good quarters, but the place may be regarded as open at present
