Mrs. Che,Iey William, Dead.

Mrs. Chesley Williams of Madi-
sonville died early Monday morning,
after much suffering. Sometime ago
she had a severe spell of fever which
was supposed to have settled in her
foot, where gangrene set in. The
foot was amputated little more than
week ago. The operation was
very successful, and she was thought
to be doing well until few days ago
when the right foot became SINH
larly affected and she grew rapidly
worse until death relieved her suf-
ferings. She leav IS husband and
three children to mourn the'loss Of a
true wife and a devoted neither.

The Railroads and the LabOrIns Man.
It is announced in a most sem
sational way that the recent rail
road consultations will be fol-
lowed by a wholesale discharge
of laboring men, in an effort to
reduce expenses one hundred
millions.
Such statements need not ex-
cite alarm in any quarter. Thirty
years ago, when the movement
for the consolidation Of short lines
into long and continuous lines
began, the opponents of that
most beneficent tendency de-
clared that it meant hardship to
the workingmen and poorer facil-
tiles for the public.
The effect was contrary TO that
predicted. These new lines, hav-
ing more at stake, had to meet
public demands, and had, when
possible, to avoid dissatisfaction
among the men. The public has
been better served, the working
men have had better wages and
more certain employment, and
the capital invested has found its
reward in the increase of traffic.
So will it be in the future.
Economy is possible, doubtless.
in certain directions, by the con-
solidation of local Offices and GER
tain terminal changes. But there
must be expansion in other di-
rections. The roads must develop
traffic; they must encourage
travel; they must therefore en-
ploy more men if they are to earn
a fair return on the billions of
capital invested.
The danger of loss of employ
ment does not lie in the direction
indicated, but in another alto
gether.
For ten years railroad building
in Kentucky has been at stand
still. Adverse legislation and
organized political raids and the
cry of the demagogues-these
have practically put stop to
railroad building in Kentucky.
The roads already here have been
improved, and they are falling
into their natural relations with
the great systems, but instead of
5000 miles of railroads, all devel-
oping new mines and encouraging
new facilities, we have just the
mileage we had ten years ago.

NFBO NOTES.
Local and Personal Items Gathered by
our Nebo Correspondent.


Nothing Of a startling nature has
occurred since our last lelter.
There are several cases of grip in
this vicinity.
We were sorry TO learn of the death
of Uncle Billy Gill, who died last
Saturday night and was buried Sun
day with Masonic honors. Uncle
Billy was one of our oldest citizens,
and no better man, or one more gen.
orally beloved ever lived in Rose
Greek neighborhood. He came to
the neighborhood about forty-three
years ago, and we feel safe in saying
that during that time he never made
an enemy. He was about eighty-one
years of age, and leaves three chill
dren but no wife.
We regret to note the death of
Mark Corbin, who died last week.
He was about fifty-flve years of age
and leaves a wife and several
children.
Doctor Kennedy spent several
days in Nebo last week.
Mr.. Alfred Robards, of Madison
vile, is visiting his brother, who is
engaged in the tobacco business at
this place.
Charley Birk and brother returned
Monday from Owensboro. where
they had gone to visit their father.
Brother Curry attended Mr.. Cor
bins funeral and remained over and
attended prayer meeting.
Mr.. Fisher, of Arkansas, spent
several days in Nebo and vicinity
last week. There seems to be some
peculiar attraction in this part of the
world for him.
Miss Goldie Chandler, who has
been clerking for Eudaley and Nor
row met with quite painful acci-
dent Tuesday night. She over
tnrned = kettle of boiling water
scalding her feet badly.
T. w. Chandler is at home with
rheumatism.
Miss Belle Story will teach the
spring school in Nebo, beginning
March 4th. Miss Belle is an expe-
rienced teacher, and will doubtless
have large school.
| A. E. Hill, of Manitou, attended
services here Sunday.
Reid Tapp, OF ::ianitou, worshipped
in Nebo Sunday.
The Rutherford House gave mas.
querade party Thursday night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ian Lutz, of Stan
hope, visited in Nebo, Sunday.
Miss Jennie Fike is visiting q
Stanhope.
Mr.. Burton, Of the Corinth neigh
borhood, was in Nebo this week ant
reported his son, who has been sicl
: 80 long with typhoid fever, as mucl
better.
Bro. b. +. McMican" filed his ap
pointments at the G. P. church Sat
urday afternoon and Sunday morn
, ing and evening.
Girls Hoffman undertook to put
r stack OF fodder in his eye. The re
, suit was hard on the eye and he i

Up to this time very little interes
is manifested in the Democratic pri
mary, except by the candidates. L
fact, they seem to be more interests
in what the Republicans are goin
: to do than anything else. For tn
! information of all concerned we say

Bill to Iesalize Joint-Smashins in In.
diana.

indianapolis, Feb. 15.-A bill
legalizing 'joint-smashing" in
Indiana madc its appearance to-
day in the Senate. The measure
permits any crowd of people, not
exceeding twelve, to -"smash"
any booth, boat or other place
where liquor is illegally sold in
Indiana, declaring such places to
be public nuisances. 1t also
provides that any one interfer-
ing ,,ith the ''smashers" shall be
punished foI assault and battery,
or assault with intent to kill.
The bill was referred to the Tenn
perance Committee. The meas
ure makes it the duty of peace
officers to attempt to abare such
nuisances, but their failure is to
be followed by the action of the
"smashers," who are declared
exempt from damages.

seems that a certain party. unknown,

four miles west Of this city, composed Of
a man, wife and step-daughter. Foreman
Rogers and his men were working near
there when the man came to them and
asked them II they had seen anything
Of the girl. They replied that they had
not The man pressed his inquiries re-
garding the girl as though he thought
the section men had been instrumental in
hiding her somewhere. One Of the men
finally said that he had seen q girl go
ing down the road. At this the stranger
grew angry, and pulling out a six-shootcr
commanded them To throw down their
tools and throw lp their HANDS. Lte then

then marched the men TO his bugs. and
drove them before him into the country
for nearly six miles, when he told them
they could go back to work. The man
must have been either drunk or crazy,
for no one ia his senses would have
used the language ne Is reported to have
used, however desperate he may have
been. The section nm were late Citing

FOR HALF MILLION
Case Is Now BEING Tried in District
Court at 1T. Paul.

St. Paul, MINI, June 1s.-A case in
volving more than a million and a half
dollars came 70 trial today before Judge
Kelley and a jury in the district court.
Herbert ". Pearson. the plaintiff, is
geoIogist employed by the Great North
ern road to locate coal fields for the
company in Montana and Washington.
In his complaint Mr. Pearson says he
was employed with the understanding
that his compensation was to depend up
on the results obtained. He was allowed
800 a month for expenses, and was 20
be paid a fair per centage of the value Of
his discoveries.
In Montan he located . coal field said
to contain forty square miles. and in ad-
dition found another in washington
eighteen square miles in extent. The rail-
road company then bought up the greater
part of the land on which the claims
were located and secured options on the
remainder. Mr.. Pearson values the tracts
already held by the road at S14, rs, 800. and
says the Montana tract alone viii easily
produce 69.115, 400 tons. He says he was
employed nine months. but vas paid only
81 300. leaving a balance due on his ex-
pense account Of $500. His services dur
ing that time he estimates to have been
worth 81 10000. and consequently he sues

anticipated that the work of the Jefferson
