Cardinal Gibbons came down from
Baltimore recently to examine a class
of postulants for confirmation. The
parish priest was proud of the prof.

them off. He had asked various ques-

What is matrimony?"
She promptly answered.:
"MatrimOny is a condition in which
those who are in a state of grace un-

WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS
John Leidecker Refused to Obey the
Order Of Court,
He Paid the Money to the Interested
Person and Was Arrested.

John Leidecker was arrested this
morning by Constable Sears ON a
charge of contempt Of court, and re-
fusing to pay a IS fine assessed against
him for the same.
1t appears that some time ago the
Keller Manufacturing company
brought suit against Bondursnt and
Co., a company that sold wagons, for
about $50. No money was obtainable
from the company, which was about
that time insolvent, but papers were
served ON Leidecker attaching money
he owed the company, and which it
was ordered be paid into court, in
stead of to Bondurant and 90.
1t seems no regular officer, but q
man delegated by the magistrate,
served the paper, and Leidecker paid
no attention to it. He paid the money
he owed to Bondursnt and Co., thus,
II is alleged, ignoring the order Of
court.
He claimed that the papers were not
legally served on him, and that he
had right to pay the money where he
did.
He was fined SO for contempt of
court, however, which he refused to
pay, and was this morning arrested on
capies. He was taken before Justice
Young and recognized, and his law
yer, Attorney L. X. Taylor, at once
took out writ of habeas corpus. and
this afternoon it will be tried before
Justice Young, to ascertain whether
or not Leidecker was guilty Of con-
tempt of court in the payment of the
money.

VERDICT In MITCHELL CASE.
CORoNER'S JURY RECOMMENDS
CoUNSELMAN, THOMPSON
AND CLAFFEY BE
HELD.

Chicago, ILL.,, August 22-After an
investigation by the Chicago police
extending over a fortnight and two
days coroner's inquest, the author
titles are still in doubt whether the
body Of the murdered woman found in
the field at Seventy. fourth and State
streets was really that of Minnie Nit.
chell. Three men stand accused Of
completely in her death and that Of
Mrs. Anne Bartholin, and are held in
heavy bond to the grand jury. Yet
Patrolman Watson, who found the
body, could not tell its sex because Of
its advanced stage of decomposition.
Coroner's Physician Springer stated
that the body must have lain ten or
twelve weeks before the brain could
have been absorbed and that had quick
lime been used by the murderer, as
conjectured, maggots would not have
entered the body, as was the case.
Even the coroner's jury, when it rem
dered verdict today, recommending
that Oscar Thompson, Edward Coun-
selman and John Clafey be held to
explain the death, stated only that the
body was supposed TO be that Of Min.
ME Mitchell Articles Of clothing
found near the dead body, however,
were identified by the Mitchell relA.
tives and finally the body was buried
as Minnie Mitchell, who had not been
seen since July 80 and who was last
seen IN the company Of her sweet
heart, William J. Bartholin. Two
witnesses, Lieut.. Healy and William
l.. Allen, testified that Councilman,
the intimate friend Of Bsrtholin, had
told them that the fngitive wanted
money with which to pay for a sur
gioal operation on the Mitchell girl at
a North Side hospital With this con-
fiicting testimony to hinder them, the
police are almost stalled in their
search for william Bartholin, whom
the ooroner's jury recommended TO
be apprehended.
II developed that william Bar.
tholin, the supposed murderer, has a
long white scar running from his
mouth across his left cheek.

KILLED BY A TRAIN
Young Man Of Benton Failed to Get
of the Track.
Had Been 20 Paducah and Had Been
Put Of the Passenger Train
Near Here.
1T HAPPENED NEAR ELvA

Chal Dodd, a young man of Benton,
about "a years old, was struck by the
N, @. and st. L. passenger tram due
here at $3.50 p. m, two miles this side
of Elva, Marshall county, about $3.50
O'Clock last night and killed.
The train was late. The young
man came to Paducah with his cousin,
Elvis Copeland, day before yesterday.
and yesterday afternoon they boarded
the outgoing train for Benton, but
did not have the money to pay their
fare, and were put off.
They then started to walk to Ben
ton, and had gotten within two miles
Of Elvs when they sat down to rest
on the track, and the passenger train,
which was late, came along and
struck Dodd.
Copeland saw the danger and tried
to warn him, but he seemed to be
asleep and did not get of in time.
The engineer stopped the train and
the injured man was brought to Padu-
cab. His head had been crushed and
the brains oozed out, and it was evil
dent that nothing could be done for
him. Drs Robertson and Boyd did
all that could be done, but the young
man died in about an hour.
The deceased was a son OF the late
Prof II. @. Dodd and brother to Mr..
L. E. Dodd, the former newspaper
man, later guard in the'penitentiary.
The remains were prepared for
burial az the Effinger undertaking es-
Enlistment and taken to Benton on
the 1915 O'Clock train this morning.
The deceased was a nephew OF Hon.
W. NJ. Reed Of Paducah.

II was base ingratitude for the Dem

Emery. He is the most enterprising
chairman they ever had, and was per-
fectly willing TO attend to the bust

help from the committeeman. He
seldom troubled the members of the
committee with the petty details of

anything to do, being virtually the

did the work and saved them all
annoyance. His efforts were so sat

before, 1t is not treating him right to
fire him, and we do not believe that
he will consent to be fired. After
thinking it over he will probably de.

Frankfort, being unable to get along
without him, will not stand idly by
and see him mistreatedl

Practically all the money required to
bring the Tennessee Central railroad
to Hopkinsville has been raised. Pres
ident Baxter was telephoned the result
of the work done in soliciting sub

board of trustees OF Eldorado Normal

meeting in this city since the mob
broke up the school and caused the in

attack with stones and threats to shoot

establish the school at some other
point, probably Metropolis, the school
to open if possible in January.
President Aston and Principal Lott,
who attended the meeting, claim that
Sheriff Barter told them TO leave Edo

colored citizens as deputy sheriffs to
guard the school and other property
against the lawless mob.
Resolutions were passed praising

Authorities on the subject have

somewhat misleading also, To the in

naturally, Is inclined Co apply such
n rule to every cherry tree ON his
farm. regardless 81 variety, age or

experience convince me that most
cherry trees need regular and sys-
tcmutic pruning until the bearing
age Is reached. After that, " the
first five or six years trimming has
been properly attended to, very little
n any pruning is required.
Commercial cherry orchards are
rarely seen In Michigan or Ohio. but
IN New York state, California, Idaho.
etc. cherry culture has received
much attention. Personally I take
great pride and pleasure in little

varieties such as Gov. Wood, Wind 'or.

For four years this little cherry or

attention that my peach and pear or
chards have. Each spring the trees
have been pruned: each winter mod

wood ashes have been applied; each
