A Demented Woman Who Had Been Living With the Conn Family For a Number of Years May Possess Knowledge of the Crime Butte, Mont., Oct. 30. A special from Bearmouth. to The Miner, gives! the following details of the discovery of the double crime at The Conn ranch on Willow Creek, which was at first believed to have been committed by the bandit who robbed the Northern Pacific train last week. A member of a threshing crew on m adjoining ranch had occasion to visit the Conn ranch and wnen he entered the farm house a terrible sight pre sented itself. On the floor, with the "brains oozing from his head, lay James Conn dead, with a ragged bullet hola through his temple. Near him lay his mother, her head crushed in wit"h a blunt instrument, presumably the butt of a revolver. At tfil? time of the holdup of the Northern Pacific train bloodhounds were put upon the trail of the robber and the dogs followed it for several miles in the direction of Willow Creek territory, but lost the scent. Those familiar with the country decided at the time of the robbery that all prob ability the' outlaw would attempt to escape that way, as the country is suoh as to afford an excellent opportunity to evade capture, being heavily tim bered. The discovery of the cime was made at 4 o'clock In the afternoon, and officers are now at 'the scene. Near the stable the threshing men met a demented woman who had dwelt with the Conn family for some time. This woman killed her husband about 20 yars ago, and It Is suggested that she may have knowledge of the trage dy. The scene of the crime Is about 30 miles from Bearmouth, and details are meager.

The whal ing schooner Altaira, which has arrived here from the Arctic, reports having sighted the schooner Olga, Captain McKenna in command, in a gale off Heischallisland.

THE "GREENiSR" In an article on "The Russian and Polish Jew in New York," in the No vember magazine number of The Out look one of a series of articles in which the life of immigrants in Amer ica is traced by nationalities and lo calities Mr. E. A. Steiner thus de scribes the "greener." The "greener" is treated with kind ness, but is made to feel his greenness at every point. There is an unwritten law in the Ghetto that for two days he must not work, but must eat all he can, for usually he arrives hungry to the starving- point. His countrymen eome to see him during that time, ask all sorts of questions about the old home, give much advice and show a great deal of superior wisdom in the use of English, upon which they pride themselves, and with which they fre quently sprinkle their Yiddish. The more English they can display the smarter they are, and usually in two years the "greener" has mastered this difficult language. He is put two work after the two 'days are over, and this process is called "ausgreenen" getting a chance to shed old country clothes and habits, and becoming like us; gen erally he goes into a sweatshop as an 'aprater," which means that he learns to run a sewing machine, and for two weeks he receives no wages, but a good deal of a certain kind of training. In the rarest instances is he a tailor, be ing almost always used to manual la bor, and those two weeks are the hardest of his existence; after that time he earns from one dollar to a dollar and quarter a day and reaches the goal of two dollars after a long apprenticeship. Out of his wages he sends money to wife and children, or aged parents whose support he is, and to whom America is still a large e-old-field, where money is picked up. The wife and children are anxiously wait ing to join him, and he is saving mon ey for their tickets. Pitiful was the story of a loak presser who has a wife and fourhil dreni on the other side, and who has been almost heartbroken because he has been here two years and has been kept by "hard luck" from sending for them. I worked by his side for a Jay, receiving my first lessons in cloak pressing from him, and the last letter from his wife was so pathetic that it drew tears from my eyes and money from mjf pocketbook towards those tickets. When the day's work was over, and the possibility of soon seeing his family was almost realized, he said, as we parted, "I shall sleep happily to night;" and so did I, in spite of heat and sore muscles. EDUCATION OF FARMERS Every young farmer in North Caro lina has an opportunity to get the foundation training in his work. The winter courses in agriculture and dai rying at 'the North Carolina A. and M. college are practical courses designed entirely for young men and women who can leave the farm only during the winter time. The cost of the whole course is but $30, wkhich includes board, room and booka. The lectures and practical work are devoted to stock raising, dairy farming, butter making, milk testing, feeding and breeding of farm animals, veterinary, medicine, entomology, soil study, stock judging and farm crops. The value of these courses to a young man or woman who is interest ed in agriculture cannot be estimated in words. The expense of attending will be paid by increased profits due to better farming a hundred times. Besides the financial value of the courses, there is the educational value of training and education that makes the man the master of his work. A circular of information will be sent to any one asking for the same. Also any information regarding any of the agricultural courses will be. given by addressing the professor of agri culture, Charles W. Burkett, Raleigh, N. C.

ENGLAND VS. THE CONTINENT (Andrew Carnegie in The World's Work.) In comparing Britain with the Con tinents of Europe and America, much is seen unfavorable to Britain's indus trial position and to the comfort and happiness of her people, 'both employers and employed. The former fail to give business the unremitting attention and to display the energy and enterprise of the founders of the practical monopoly of the past. They generally regard it only as a means to win entrance to another rank of society. The employed think too much of how little they need to do, too little of how much they can do. Both classes still take life easy in this day of competition 'which only the day of established monopoly could support. Employers would find it much to their own interests to give to their ablest employees shares in the business. The more given in this form the more would flow to the employer. The great secret of success in businesassiand of success in business and of millionaire making is to make partners of valuable managers of departments. The contests between the old and the new lands to day resembles that between profession als and amateurs. It is in their work men that the Continent has one of its chief advanitages over Britain, and America aver ' the Continent, for even the German has to yield the palm to the compound British-German which makes the man of the more stirring New World. He could not be more thorough or methodical than the Ger man, (but he is more active and more versatile. Wages of skilled labor, though higher in Britain than in Ger many, are not so much so as to rank in importance with the factors stated; the difference ibetween the two is tri fling as compared with that .between Britain and America. It is not the lowest, ibut the highest paid laibor, with scientific management and machinery, which gives cheapest products. Some of the important staple articles made in Britain, Germany and America are produced cheapest in the last, with labor paid double. The two continents have another de cided advantage over Britain in the sobriety and regular habits oi their workmen. The -broken days of Britain both handicap the employer a-nd injure the workman.
