Kentucky is already preparing
to celebrate the completion of her
first century as q state OF the
Union, although the time for the
celebration is nearly nine months
distant. Kentucky was the Sec
ond state to be admitted, following
Vermont by more than year; for
the recent celebration atBennington
conceded neither with the date
of the battle fought there nor with
the date of Vermont's acquisition oi
statehood, the latter being March
4, 1871. Kentucky came in as the
fifteenth state on June /, 1892, and
the celebration of the centennial oi
that event in her history will take
place next summer. An elaborate
celebration is already planned,
The next state in the historic line
is Tennessee, which is Kentucky's
junior by four years to q day. Nc
other states centennial occurs il

Tax Dodgers.


From the Knox County Democrat.
The Alliance people of Audrain
county are getting after the tax
dodgers with sharp stick. They
appointed q committee some
months since to examine the AS
SCISSORS books to see if taxpayers
had given in a full list of their
property. The committee went to
work and found a large number
that had held their property back,
to whom notice has been given
"that if the discrepancies in tax
lists and mortgage lists are not ex-
planned either to the committee or
County Court on or before the
second day of the next Circuit
Court of Audrain county, which
meets the first Monday in October,
said lists with full names and suf-
icient evidence will be submitted
to the Grand Jury for action. This
Is the order OF the County Union,
and it will be strictly followed, and
this is positively the last chance
given for explanation"
Perhaps the Knox County Al
lance could find some work to do
in that direction.

The following from Congressman

The following from Congressman
Stone is supposed to explain itself ::
ST have better farm and I believe
1 am a better farmer than any of
these ex-lawyers. I believe that
because I was raised to it from
childhood. My father was one of
the best practical farmers in Ken
lucky and I received a practical
education under his tutelage. I
have been farming all my life. I
claim to be a successful farmer and
stock raiser. But I am also a
lawyer. I make some pretense to
knowledge of the law. I have cli-
ents. I make money at my pro-
iession. I claim to be a successful
lawyer. I take pride in my farm
and stock. Most of my modest
fortune is invested that way. Yes,
] am both lawyer and farmer.
But if / shall ever conclude to run
for any Office in Missouri, I will
not run as a lawyer or as a farmer,
but will run as a plain Missouri
Democrat without any disguise
ment or side show insignia"

The Suicide of Gov. Reynolds.


Gov. Morehouse was not the
first among those who have filled
the chief executive Office of the
State to die by his own hand.
Thomas Reynolds, of Howard
county, was elected Governor of
Missouri in 1910. On the 9th OF
February, 1874, eleven months be-
fore the expiration of his term, he
committed suicide by putting a
pistol ball through his head. His
death occurred several hours after
the shot was fred, and he is said
to have suffered great agony. He
had been in lll-health some time
previous to his death, and it was
generally believed that his mind was
affected by his illness, but he gave
as a reason for his act the violence
of his political enemies. Gov.
Reynolds had been a Judge of the
Supreme Court of Illinois before
coming to Missouri in 1928. Upon
his death Lieut.. M. NJ. Marina.
duke, father of John s. Marina
duke, became acting Governor,
and acted as such the remainder o1
the term.

Vagaries of Justice,

A man who had killed another

Monday.
A man who had killed another
man was acquitted by ajury in 9
Chicago court on Monday, though
general surprise was expressed at
the verdict. An assistant states
attorney said concerning the mat
ter: "The panel from which this
jury was drawn has now been sit
ting in case since the court opened
two weeks ago, and in that time
has only made two convictions, and
these in minor cases.
The only possible excuses fol

FRESNO, CAL, Sept. 22.-This

are tall and straight with large
moss grown trunks, dark glossy
leaves with brown lining. The
flowers grow in pairs snd are from
1-2 to 6 inches in length, borne
upright upon a brown stem amid a
large cluster of leaves. There are
about seven petals to a flower, q

ARRANGEMENTS had been made
for a big F. & l.. U. picnic at

AS We understand the matter from
a prominent farmer well known to
all of our readers, q. S. Hall and
other opponents of the sub-treaury

this occasion, and the time was to

Palmer Lodge is also going to with

thing to do with politics, and wer,

A New Idea in Mid-Air Gardening,
From Kate Fields Washington.

From Kate Fields Washington.
American travellers in Europe
return home with many new ideas
concerning architecture, which
they proceed to exempllfy in the
structure of their dwelling houses.
There Is one invention, however,
which none of these tourists as yet
appear to have heard of,
and which would prove charming
variation in the skyline of a vii
lage street, or as a bit of color
among the scattered houses of a
country landscape.
1 refer to the turf roof invented
by George Mayer of Bavaria.
The roof is laid first with boards,
then three thicknesses of tarred
paper, and finally covered with
turf six inches thick. Such
roof is heavier than tiles; but it
is full protection against damp
and fire, helps to purify the air and
needs no repair. 1t can be made
still more beautiful by sowing
upon the turf the seeds of flowers
and wavy grasses which have
small roots. Imagine a roof cover
ed with portulacca blossoms wide
open under MONDAY sun!

seen two young woodchoppers at
their noon rest, down on all fours
like a pair Of kittens, bounding
sideways over each other down the
mountain slope.
In their manner of life there. is
something remarkably contagious.
One finds himself scarcely able to
ignore their ways even though he
may not indorse them. In this
food Of crude customs it is hard to
maintain the pose Of eastern pro-
priety. Many a man Thinks he has
character until it is tried by the test
of circumstance, and he finds he on
ly had habit. The mountaineer al
SO feels the exotic Influence. To-day
he is a hybrid of his own ciyiliza-
ton Of twenty years ago and that
of the eastern present, and he
is doubly interesting because of
this. We all know him well of the
SO and '65 period, with his ''whars"
and ''thars," his swagger, his
"bowie," his navy" and his poker
phrases. But he is rapidly going
and is now in an interesting stage
of his evolution. The encroach-
ments of culture are upon him. The
revolver as an arbiter of all disputes
is departing. Even plain "knock
down" is looked upon as a little be-
yond the orthodox, while appeals to
the courts are no longer regarded as
unmanly. Civilizing and refining
influences will soon merge his
characteristics with those of the
man of the world, and to maintain
himself as the gruff miner of the
western literature he will have to
move back with the wild beasts to
the unfrequented places.
It seems a matter of regret that
some of our novelties have not
caught him in his transition state
and set him forth in realistic detail for
our enjoyment. So far as the writ
er's slight knowledge goes this has
not been successfully done yet. Bret
Harte's work is of an epoch beyond.
Mary Halleck Foote has approached
him perhaps as near as any woman
could. But he has moods and
lenses that no woman can see.
Modern romance has roamed our
country over from the Superior
coast to the Mexican border in
search of interesting types aud COM
munities. Even the Thlinkets and
the Aleuts are not safe from its in
trusions. Before it comes home to
settle down complacently and feast
upon the fatted calf of realistic
commonplace it might well try its
analytic hand upon the purely pros
pect regions of the Rocky Noun
tains Of to-day; for in his severest
realism, what is bad of the noun
|talneer is interesting, and what is
good in his many manly traits is
worthy Of preservation.

Ayers Hambletonian. e:s9 1.s.

Wood Maddox and Andy Harri-
sons Ayers Hambletonian is now
in the charmed circle. At Topeka,
Kan, on September IA, he won the
2:2S class trot, purse s4O0, in
straight heats on a half mile track
in 2:30, 2:29 IL and 2:31 IL.
Ayers is by Volunteer Goldsmith
and is highly bred on his DAMS
side. Bill Mckinney, one of the
greatest horsemen that ever sat
on sulky, has Ayers in charge
and drove him to his record. In
the race were Miss Cawley, Indian
Pet, King Sprague and Dancer, all
good horses, which proves beyond
question that Ayers is one of the
best stations in Missouri.
