70 Fight the School Book Trust.

One of our prominent county
men, and a man who has done his
part to fill the public schools Of his
district and has had to suffer the
extortionate charges for school
books by the publishers, proposes
that the State shall utilize some Of
the more intelligent among the
convicts in publishing its own
series OF school books, furnishing
the same to the children of the
State at a nominal profit on the
bare cost Of production. Our
friend, who, by the way, is one Of
our largest land owners and one of
the most intelligent men in the
county is quite enthusiastic over
his proposed measure. He thinks
the State could at once secure work
for some of its cOnvicts, and at the
same time do great deal to furth-
er the public school system by es-
tablishing its own Printery and
Bindery. Those who have suffered
at the hands of the School Book
Trust--and that means every par
ent in the Statc-iTillii not be averse
to any movement that will put
check on the extortionate charges
of this company.

Hunie will be required to keep his
many promises, but having been in
discreet aud it being impossible for
him to make good his pledges there

There have been some new develop
meuts in the Fort Thomas murder.
Beads the same as were found on
Pearl Bryan's hat have been found on
the ground near by and this detectives
take as evidence of struggle. 1t has
also been ascertained that the hand
kerchief around the bowlder which
weighted the hat of Pearl Bryan be-
longs to Jackson and the detectives do
not believe that Ihe finding of the
head would add further proof towards
conyicting the arraigned men. That
the Circumstances are conclusive, that
Pearl BRYAN was murdered in Ken
lucky, and that her slsyers were jack
son and Wslling. William Wood, a
second cousin TO Pearl Bryan, and
who was in possession of the fact
of her betrayal, and who did not
resent her wrong, is also in Jail al
Cincinnati and in statement says
that third nan is connected with
this awful deed, and this statement
makes more serious his own attitude
to the deed.

More than hall ot the sixty days al
lowed by law tor session of the Leg
islature has expired and, as yet, moth
ing has been done. The probability
is that nothing of moment will be
done by this session of the General
Assembly. The Senatorial race has
so completely over-shadowed all else
that business has been interferred
with to a. degree that made marked
progress in legislation almost impossi-
,sible.

Senatorial Situation

The Senatorial contest at Frankfort
remains virtually unchanged. AT the
joint session on Saturday fou" Repub-
lican5 left Dr.. Hunters ranks and
voted for other candidates. The
twenty-third ballot stood, Blackburn,
"a; Hunter. So; scattering, 8 1t j.

ton of Senator daily grows less.

A Memphis dispatch says it
looks like Controller James Harris

1t is much colder in some parts
of the country than in others.
One of our farmers was in the
city Monday and told Of the sud

Grassy Lick, saying that goose
was on the pond and before it could
get to the bank ice formed around
it and froze it's feathers so that
when morning came the ice had to
be broken before the goose could be
taken out. His friends to whom he
told this doubted the farmers sin

it was accepted as real.

Montgomery's Centennial.

The suggestion Of Mr.. Gill that
Montgomery county shall celebrate
the centennial Of her organization
as county, is one that will appeal
with peculiar force, to every ma
tive born citizen in the county. We
shall be glad to do all in our power
to further such a laudable and pa.
triotic celebration. Such celebra
tions as that prosposed appeal to
us all with q peculiar force. Most
truly does Brother Gill say, "such
a jubilee meeting would be for the
education of the young in State
history in general, and county his
tory in particular--the arousing of
patriotism"
1t is movement in the
right direction, and will serve to
awaken and arouse the love of
native land that lies slumbering in
the hearts of every man. Tell the
boys of the noble lives of the noble
men who have gone out from their
native county TO give the best ener-
gies of their stalwart manhood to
the upbuilding of their common
country and the uplifting of hui
and all this will serve to
awaken in them a desire to emulate
such examples of manliness and
sterling worth. There are many
men born within our borders to the
fame of whose achievements Mont
gomery's people can point with a
just pride. We will be glad to
hear from number of our bust
ness men, farmers, lawyers, doctors,
etc., on this subject, and
tender to them space in the ADvc-
CATE for anything they may de-
sire to say on this subject.
If Mr.. CLIPS suggestion
meets with approval from
our citizens, and we believe it will,
we hope that mass meeting will
be arranged. for in the near future
and committees appointed to pre-
pare and report upon a program for
4 centennial celebration. In the
let us have an expires
sion from those who favor such a |
lbilee.

parental love, and when it was
known that she could not live, this

Ollie to come and dwell in the
house He had prepared for her,
