arm six miles from the village. The
ouse was burned and with it the bodies |
f all the victims except Mr.. Logan,
whose mangled remains were found the
ext day on the railroad mile and a
alf from the house. His hat, scalp and
kull all show that he was killed by

he light of the burning house was first
cen about a. III. by neighbOr. Some
CARED bodies were discovered during
he day. Logan's murdered wife was
lund near the door. There was a
atchet lying near, and the supposition is
lat the same weapon was used to muir
er all the family. Mr.. Logan was seen
t work in his field late Tuesday evening
nd the common theory is that he was
nticed from home on pretense of needed
ssistance and was murdered for money
opposed to be in the house.

There seems to he hut two ideas
which influence the mind Of Milan

other is the money proposed by the
bill All will agree that we are poor
and need money badly, but as badly
as we need the money proposed 10y

losers Ivy it? If the object Of the
bill was for the education of our chill
dren and no supervision or accounta,
bility only to the state authorities, il
would he less objectionable than it is.
There are many who say it is a gift
to the states to be controlled by the
states. Such an assertion is not aus
thorized by the bill. Neither was it
50 understood by its advocates in the
senate on the republican side. 1t is
true the democrats in the senate who
advocated the bill said there was to he
40 federal interference. The republi>
cans took the opposite view. If the
bill should ever become law, which,
in all probabilities. was never inten>
ded--only for a wedge to divide a
solid south-should it, however, be-
come law under republican rule,
there is no misunderstanding of their
views in relation to federal snpervi
sion. lam not one of those who be-
lieve that "no good can come out of

ency of which is to centralize our
government, though there are millions
in it for the benefit of the poor and

has her prescribed rights, so have the
states. One has no right to interfere

LET ALL FRANKFORT GIVE THANKS
FOR THE CENTENNIAL.

It has been determined TO wind up
our glorious Centennial by turning
over the Centennial Records to the
Mayor and Board Of COuncilmen in a
public and formal manner at O'Clock
on Thanksgiving day, Nov. 25. The
ceremonies will take place at the OPP
era House, commencing at 3 o'clock.
This is pleasing step in winding up
so pleasing an enterprise as the Cen
tennial was to all citizens and friends
of Frankfort. The Register is still
open and some of the statistical re-
ports and historical and poetical con-
tributions are not complete, but they
can all be completed by hat day.
Our people will be in the right frame
of mind on that day to make the Oc-
casiOn real love feast. and put
them all in love with themselves
and with each other. These valuable
records are now held in trust for the
use of the city and future genera
tons, and the trust is so rich i'm his
t0ric and scientific facts that the trus-
tee has thought proper to deliver the
trust property in this public manner,
and we are sure all our people will
heartily approve it, and be present
to receive trust containing no less a
treasure than the history of Frank
forts first century. The holder Of the
trust will make short address in
turning it over, to which Mayor Tay-
lOr will respond, after which Miss
Mamie BrOwder will read from the
records Col. FOrd's Ode to the "City
of the Dead" The author of the
"Drift Pile" will read thar quaint
production. Miss Nellie OrbisOn will
sing two or three of her sweetest
songs, and the whole will wind up in
Il general love feast and a full chorus
by all the musical talent of Frankfort,

Jake knights, colored, was at
work in Il quarry out on the Glen's
Creek pike several weeks ago, and
having put in blast, told one of the
hands helping him to remove the
l:eg of powder, which he failed to do,
and not noticing that the powder
was still there, Jake lit the fuse drop
ped the match and started to run.
The match fell into the key, ignited
the powder, and in the explosion
that followed Jake was hadl /; burned
about the hands and face and had a
close call for his life. He is able to
be about again now, but his crop OF
hair will not be as luXuriant and his
beauty not as bewitching as former
