During the morniug session sev- eral papers were read by prominent edu- cators, resolutions on the death of Presi- dent McKinley were adopted and officers were elected. The attendance throughout the meeting has been larger than in previ. | ous years, nearly every county belng rep- resented. The officers elocted Presi- dent, C. G. Fullmer, Pawneo City; vice president, M. Graham, South Omaha; secretary L. Cavioess; member educa- tional council, J. D. French, Hastings. Dean L. A. sherman of the University | of Nebraska discussed “The Emotlonal Ele- ments In Reading” before the assoclation Buperintendent Thomas of Kearney spoke of the intellectual elements and the me- chanics of reading were treated by Miss| Lucy Willlams. The committee on resolutions, consisting of J. L. McBrien, E. L. Rouse, W. I Stock- dale, H. H. Hahn and W. L. Stepheas, sub- mitted the following resolutions, which | were unanimously adopted: Resolved, That we, the wuperintenden's and principals of the public schools of braska, In convention assemblea, view the assassination of our heloved president, Wit llam McKinley, as the greatest intamy of modern tmes' It was so uppaliing. o atroclous, that we are as far from belng reconciled to It today as on that fatal afternoon when he was shot down by a foul flend.

What constitutes a common law marriage 1s discussed at considerable length in a brief filed In the suprer. e court today in the case of the University of Michigan against Daniel McGuekin, for which a rehearing has been allowed. McGuckin, while living art from his commonslaw wife, borrowed some money from the university and upon a foreclosure being attempted the wife claimed exemption of the property. The lower court gave the university a judgment, but declared the mortgage vold. From this an appeal was taken and by the supreme court the judgment was aMrmed. The case turns upon the question: ‘“‘Does the fact that a man introduces a woman as his wife 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 and rela- tives as his wife that that is sufiicient to prove a contract of marriage or is equiva- lent to a declaration that they ‘then and there take each other for husband and wite’ It Is true that mutual assent to then and there be husband and wife when expressed by words is all that s necessary, but In the case of common-law marriage It 1s necessary, when the marriage is proved by the language itself, to be proved that they have in substance declared that at the present time they take each other as hus- band and wife. The fact of an intreduction as a wife is simply one of the circum- stances which may be used as evidence tending to ralse the presumption that these declarations or promises to be husband and wife have been exchanged. If a man aad woman should both declare to their rela- tives In substance as follows: ‘We were married in New York last week,' it would not constitute proof of their marriage, ex- cept as It was competent as an admission and, it it should turn out that no marriage bad taken place, the admission would go for nothing. That s, the declaration must be made that they do, at the time of the making of the declaration, take each other as husband and wife, not simply that they Rave at some 'time prior thereto, been mar- ried or expect at some future time to be married. We take it to be essential, as s %0 repeatedly lald down by the statute, | in by the customers. | April, that there must be a mutual declaration or promise to be husband and wife. Drives Out Kansas Concern. Secretary Royse of the State Banking beard this morning notified the local rep- resentatives of the Home Co-overative company of Kansas City that they must cease doing an investment business in this state. The business transacted by the | company is of a nature that would briog 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 suspend 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 sum of $5.35 a momth. The applicant first makes a contract with the ccmpany fn which he agrees to pay a fee of $3 and a monthly sment of thousand. The contracts are determined in the order of their filing, one of the agree- ments being canceled for each $50 paid When a man's con- tract Is terminated he can borrow monev. The company, according to its printed cir- cular, agrees to examine the title of the property which the customer wishes to pur- chase, loans a sufficlent sum of money and takes a llen 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. Republican Campnign Speechea. The republican state central committes has arranged for the following campalgn speeches: G. M. Lambertson, at Wayne | October 30 and at Hartington October 31; T. L.

FUSIONISTS' FALSE CLAIMS Say They Ran Any Rep: m Cheaper Than but Fignres Prove Otherwl HASTINGS, Neb., Oct. 19.—(Speclal.)— Since the campaign opened in Adams county fusion speakers have been making the statement that the fusionists ran the Chronic Insane asylum much cheaper than the republican officlals are doing now. An Investigation of the records at the asylum shows that the dally cost per capita at that institution under fusion control wi February, 1900, 37 cents; March, 31 cents 23 cents; May, 27 cents; June, 32 cents; July, 35 cents; August, 21 cents September, 33 cents; Oetober, 40 cents November, 3 cents; December, $1.11; Jan- uary, 1901, 43 cents. This glves a dally average cost per capita for the year of 39 cent The dally cost per capita at that institu- tlon under the republican management s February, 1901, 35 cents; March, 33 cents April, 30 cents; May, 32 cents; June, 26 cents; July, 20 cents; August, 28 cents; September, 24 cents. This gives a dally average cost per capita for the elght months since the republicans have had charge of 20% cents, which shows that the republicans have run the Chronic Insane asylum 0% cents cheaper on dally per capita than did the fusion ARRESTED FOR STEALING HOGS ira Helvey, Thowm to Accom- plice of Sperry, Taken to Fairbury.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: 10WA PEACH CRoP IS GUOD Increasing Interest in the Growing of This Fruit in Reuthern Oounties ENCOURAGING REPORTS FROM ORCHARDS Central fowa Counties Have to Pe- Tohacco, Ete, (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, la., Oct. 19.—(Special.)— The lowa farmers are manifesting a dls- position to more and more diversity thoir crops and to avold the mistake of relyiog 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. Onme croo about which little Is ever heard bas proved to be a great succoss In lowa this vear. This is the peach crop. lowa Is not krown & peach growing state, and vet there are not far from 150,000 peach trees in the orchards of lowa, and from these trees there s gathered annually a great many fine peaches. But It is only about once in four or five years that the peach orcbards of lowa beur to their full ca- pacity. This s ene of the years and the peach crop just gathered has been one of the largest ever known in Towa. The peach belt In lowa lles along the scuthern border. There are peach orchards in all the counties of the southern two tiers. The peach belt follows up the Mis- #isslppl and Missour! rivers at either end of the belt, extending as far 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 lowa coun- ties. The scuttered trees in gardens and groves in central Jowa have borne good frujt this year. Near Colfax, in Jasper county, Adam Fir- ber reports fine fruit on his trees E. 8 Russell, near Oakland, in Pottawattamie county, has splendid fruit. John Moler. county supervisor In Poweshiek county. gathered a crop of 500 bushels of fine peaches. James Turner of Carroll county gathered a bushel of peaches off two young trees In his garden. Jacob Connar of Keokuk county regularly plants peach trees every year and has young ones coming on to take the place of those that dle. He has peaches every year. W. 0. Wilder of Marshall county picked fine peaches from his orchard and E. B. Mendenhall had a fine lot of peaches in his marden In Mar- shalltown. Nelson G. Malin of Columbla has a number of peach trees just coming irto bearing and from one he picked more than a bushel this year. He will plant 100 trees next spring. New Variety from Ohlo. In central eastern lowa the horticultur- ists are watching with interest the results of planting a varlety of peach introduced into Towa by Dr. J. S. Balley, who bro the seed from Ohlo and planted an orchard near West Branch. The orchard was highly successful, and seed from this orchard has been planted In many other countes of the state, 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, Davi Jefterson, Des Moines, Wayne, Taylor, Fre- mont, Page and other counties along the Missour! line. Of course these trees bore unusually well this year, und as a result peaches went to waste In many orchards. A sample orchard is that of J. A. Fletcher, in Page county. He has 2,500 bearing peach trees and as many more young ones that will be bearing in a few years. His neigh- bors call him ‘‘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 and carefully cultivates the orchards. He began fifteen years ago and believes he has made a great success. He has about forty varieties of peaches in his orchard, moestly seedlings, for he has found that seedlings do better than tho budded trees. He began gathering peaches in June and was at It in October. At the best of the season he sold the peaches to neighbors by the wagon load at 25 cents a bushel, but these were the fruit dropped off, while his finest fruit, picked by hand from the trees, commanded a good price. Applen Prove Profitable. Apples have been a profitable crop in southwestern lowa this year. Reports in- dicate that the entire crop of apples was sold for from $2.50 to $3.50 a barrel where grown. The winter apples In Iowa this year are the finest ever known. Many of them have been shipped to eastern markets to take the place of apples from sections that have had a faflure this year. Buyers have appeared In lowa from New York and Chicago, only to be disappointed at finding the crop all sold in advance to commission houses at good prices. To some extent this state of affairs compen- sates lowa for having to buy potatoes in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Some other of the new industries in lowa are making progress this year. For in- stance, the tow industry in northern lowa 18 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 {s belng worked up Into a matertal used by upholsterers for padding. These tow mills have greatly enhanced the value of the land where they are in aperation. Peanut Experiments Gratify. Peanut ralsing has been taken up In northeastern lowa by gardeners and farm. ers. Fred Chesterman of Dubuque county this year raised a fine crop of peanuts of #00d quality, though not quite as large as those from Virginia. He chose the south- west side of a bill for his experiment and 1s well satisfled. In Allamakee county pea- nut ralsing has been common for some time and the nuts regularly reach the markets. There Is & pecan grove on an island in the Mississippl river near Camanche, Clin- ton county, and about 175 trees are found growing there. The pecan is supposed to be a southern fruit, but this grove was discovered about ten years ago and has borne nuts every year. 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 lowa with muts trom this grove and it s believed northern pecans will result, The tobacco Industry in northeastern lowa is also reported to be in a flourishing condition this year. Tobacco is grown regularly in about a dozen countles and it is generally shipped to the factories in Wisconsin for use. SIOUX FALLS, 8.

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 they were not present a peeresses, and. therefore, bave no per- sonal experience of the manmer in which peers and peeresses obtaln thelr sum- monses and should be coroneted and robed when responding to them. These proclamations were not issued It of Queen Victoria, until the preced- ing month of April. There could bave been then only a comparatively small num- ber of peers and peeresses who had not at- tended or bad mot been givem the oppor tunity of attending once or even twice at solemnities of the august character. Soven years before, King Willlam IV and Queen Adelaide had been crowned. Ten years before that the coronation of George IV, the most gorgeous and most expensive on record, had been celebrated. Most. members of the peerage were, therefore, famillar with the steps they were re- quired to take in order to secure a sura- mons to attend, and not only knew what coronets and robes they were expected to attire themselves in, but had in their pos- sesslon the coronets and robes which they bad actually worn, Since peers and peeresses are permitted to adorn themselves with thelr coronets only on the occaslon of a cornnation, it is perhaps fortunate for many that coronets are not costly. Bilver gilt circlets and strawberry leaves, splkes and silver bells, do not seem imposing irsignia of dignity. But to judge from what show they now make in the goldsmiths' shops, they are mot 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. Privilese an Acquired Onme. “Originally,”” writes an expert in such matters, “‘peers and peercsses had no cor- onets such as they are now entitled to hear. 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 the marquis of Winchy ter to carry on a cushion on certain oc- caslons of state. Marquises and earls, who wear circlots of gold, were mot per- mitted to add caps to them until much later, the former toward tho end of the fitteenth and the latter in the sixteenth century. ‘The soverelgns of England from a fe- mote period, according to Sir Harris Nico- las, down to King Willism IV, have ever proceeded to their coronations in the robes of estate of & duke, with the cap of estate upon their heads, and formerly the act of coronation consisted of placing vaon the ducal cap of Normandy the royal diadem of England. “It 18 to be remembered, however, that the eMgy of the Black Prince in Canter- bury cathedral exhibits on the helmet n coronet of leaves, possibly that of the principality of Wales, which was likely enough the 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- sign is ~oncerned, the result of individual taste or caprice. The coronet of Richard, earl of Warwick, the king maker, on his tomb, s a plain circlet surmounted by Palls, but without strawberry leaves, while the coronets of other earls of about the same era, as may be seen on thelr monu- ments, differ even more from it than they do from an earl's coronet of the present t was only in the sixteenth century that the coronets of dukes, marquises and earls definitel. med the shape In which and It was not until the reign of James I that viscounts were ac- corded coronets at all.
