In some of the Swiss valleys the
inhabitants are all afflicted with
goitre or thick neck. Instead of re-
gardng this as a deiormity, they
seem to think it a natural feature
of physical develop

valleys are sometimes jeered by the
goitrous inhabitants because they
are without this offensive swelling.
Thus a form of disease may be-
come so common as to be regarded
as a natural necessary condition OF

Capt. Lemly says he would fee
hurt to have it intimated that he has
any personal feeling whatever in the
controversy. In all the time he has
been at the head of the legal depart

back to 1899, he has, fortunately, never
had occasion TO pass upon any ques

PENSION.
For a Soldier Who Lost Leg
While Bathing.

Washington, August 8. Admiral
Kempff has forwarded to the Navy
Department an official report, thrill
ling in its details, Of the biting of
of the leg Of Quartermaster S, Nc
Kie, third class, of the gunboat An
napolis, by a shark or others mann
moth sea monster.
The Annapolis has been station
ed of late at Iloilo, and on June "a
last a party was sent out for rifle
target practice. Commander Rob
rer, in charge of the Annapolis,
states that permission was given
several of the men to 90 swimming,
while others were engaged in firing.
Two of the men had been in for some
time, when McKie joined them, and
asked if they had been able to touch
bottom. Being answered in the
negative he made a dive and was
gone for several seconds. One of
the seamen says he heard a gurg-
lnig sound beneath the water. A
moment later McKie appeared on
the surface, and shouted "Shark!
Shark" The surface of the water
was covered with blood near where
he came up. McKie started to swim,
and, although crippled, reached
the boat and was pulled in by his
companions. A horrible sight met
their eyes, the Quartermaster's leg
having been bitten off near the
knee. With all dispatch he was
taken aboard the Annapolis, where
the surgeon found it necessary to
amputate the limb between the knee
and hip. The surgeon, 10 his re-
port, states that while the accident
was not in the line of duty, it was
incident to the service. Admiral
Kempff, however, IN indorsing the
papers, holds that as the Quarter
master had received permission
from the Offices in charge to go in
bathing the accident occurred in
the line of duty. Under these cir
cumstances the crippled Quarter
master probably will receive a PEN

paying the accustomed fee and be-
ing given the papers it seems that
the young pair went back home

down to enjoy their honeymoon.
After several days of welded bliss
(as they thought) some one asked
by whom they were married when
they came to town. The young
man replied that they were married
by Mr.. Booker, the Clerk, or Bob
Noe, the deputy, he did not remem-
Der which, but he had his papers

HOPKINSVTLLE PEACH
This Finest of all Peaches and
Something in it.
Peach Crop Heaviest For Many
Years and of Excellent
Quality.

The peach crop in this county
has turned out to be something en-
ormous and from 81 a bushel at the
beginning of the season, the price
has declined until the market is
thoroughly glutted with peaches of
all kinds and of the finest quality.
Many farmers being unable to sell
from wagons have had to haul them
back home to feed to their hogs.
They have in some instances failed
to bring offers of more than Is
cents a bushel. With fruit so
plentiful, it is almost impossible to
sell any but the best peaches.
These bring from rs cents to 40
cents bushel.
In point of quality it is the uni
versal opinion that the Hopkins
vile peach stands at the very top.
1t is not so large as usual this year
on account of the heavy crop on the
trees and the drouth in the growing
season, but the equality and flavor
are excellent. The Hopkinsville
peach when at it's best is as large
as mans fist. 1t has a red blush
on one side and sometimes all over.
The flesh is white and ''mealy" but
red at the seed. In shape it is OBJ
long with long "teat" on the end,
that is its most distinctive feature.
The Hopkinsville peach has been
known and raised here, coming
true from the seed, for more than
fifty years, 1t can now be obtainep
from most of the nurseries, having
been first put on the market many
years ago by Downer Bros. of Todd
county. But the peach did not
originate here, and nobody knows
where it did originate. About 1850
stranger came to Hopkinsville
and put up at the "tavern" that
used to stand opposite the court
house. 10 these days he would be
called a drummer, but half CEN
fury ago he was a "traveler. "
While stopping at the tavern he
told about wonderful peach he had
found at one of his stopping places,
that in flavor surpassed any peach
he had ever eaten. He said the
fruit so impressed him that he had
saved lot of seed and had them in
his grip. He got out handful and
gave them to Mr.. John S. Bryan,
who was the clerk in the tavern.
Mr.. Bryan divided them with the
late Major John Sites. Both raised
several trees and soon the fame Of
the new peach got abroad in the
land. Mr.. Bryan named it the Hop
kinsville peach and the name has
stuck to it. 1t is sold under this
name by the nurseries and is prop.
ogated everywhere by planting
the seed. This delightful peach is
now on the market. Don't fail to
try it and don t neglect to plant the
seeds.

ooNDUoToR PLUNKETT DEAD
Was a Thirty-third Degree Mason and
Old Santa Fe Man.

Ottawa, July 29.-Jonn s. PIunkett
died at his home in this city Saturday
morning at 8 o'clock. The end was not
unexpected, for the sick man had been
gradually growing worse for several
weeks He was taken sick last winter
and has been confined to his bed almost
continually since then. He was a suf-
ferer from a complication of ailments,
though a post mortem examination this
morning revealed a cancer of the pan
creas which was probably the most di-
rect cause of death.
John S. Plunkett has been a con-
ductor on local railroad lines for
quarter of a century. He came here
from Maryland 25 years ago and had
been a conductor on the Santa F'e ever
since that road acquired the Southern
Kansas. He was as much of a fixture
on the Lawrence passenger run up to
senger train itself. Mr. Plunkett was a
thirty-t third degree Mason, one of the
few in the state to obtain that rank.
