said the following to Gov. Durbin
OF Indiana. Read 1t and keep in

der:
"The slightest lack of vigor In
dsnouncing the crime or bringing
the criminal to justice is In itself
objectionable. Every effort should
be made under the law to expedite
the proceedings OF justice"
at certainly ought to be possible
by the proper administration Of
the laws to secure swift vengeance
| upon the criminal, and the best
and immediat5 efforts OF all legisla-
tors, judges and citizens should be
addressed to securing such reforms
in our legal procedure as to leave
no vestige Of excuse for those mis-.
guided men who undertake to reap
vengeance through violent meth
ods.' And again Mr.. Roosevelt
said that "the law must work
swiftly and surely and all the
agents of the law should realize
be wrong they do when they per-
mil justice to be delayed or thwart-
cd for technical or insufficient
reasons" Again Mr.. Roosevelt
said: ave must show that the law
is adequate to deal with crime by
freeing 1t from every vestige OF
technicality and delay"

The case OF Curtis Jett, charged
with the murder OF James Cockrill,
former Town Marshal Of Jackson,
was called at Cynthlana, and the
trial was postponed until Mon
day on account OF the absence OF
counsel for Jett. A motion by the
defense for a continuance was
overruled by Judge Osborne. The
prosecution claims to have three
witnesses who saw Jett fire the
fatal shot. The defense claims il
will prove by S. King Ford, form
erly OF Pikeville,that Jett was witt
him at another place at the time
the shot was fired.

Some are the prey OF long and

Again the alarm has sounded,
In this Instance 1t has called one,

Bro. Johnson was a Free and
Accepted Mason. His last journey
is completed. He has finished his
work and gained his eternal home,
He leaves with us the mem ry Of
his many sterling qualities, and
his true manhood will ever com
mand our tenderest regard aud
highest admiration, Yet we shall
miss the kindly word, the cheerful
greeting, and the hand that was
ever ready to assist the needy and
destitute.
To his bereaved wife and family
we offer tho sincere sympathy

We recommend that the above

TWELVE MONTHS OF WEATHER
Condensed from Climate and Crop
Service REPORTS

January-The weather was unusu
ally pleasant during the first three
weeks of the month; the temperature
during the afternoons was generally
above 40 degrees, until the 18th
when there was slight decrease
over the entire state. On the 23rd
a cold wave occurred and brought
the temperature below zero at every
station. Zero temperatures continued
over the eastern counties until the
end of the month"; and until the Goth
in the central and western counties.
January precipitation was quite
light, the average was "a of an inch,
which was deficiency of 40 of an
inch. The month ended with light,
but general, snow storm.
February-The average precipita-
ton, SO of an inch, was slightly
above the seasonal average. On
every day of the month, except from
either local or general, occurred For
the first 10 days of the month quite
low temperatures prevailed, and
every station recorded zero, or
lower, readings; the later part of the

ne 18th the weather was cold in the
".estern section, and extremely cold

lures prevailed.
tation, so of an inch, showed a de-
fciency of AS of an inch, and the
mean temperature was but 2 degrees
below normal, the month was con-
sidered cold and wet, and was unfav-
orable for agricultural operations.
The frequent light rains and SHOWS,

high temperatures, really had the eff
feet of producing late spring"
May-Good growing weather pre-
vailed throughout the month; rains
were general, and the average precip-
itation, 1856 inches, was an excess of
1876 inch. The temperature was
pleasant and seasonal.

average precipitation, 2.OS inches,
showed a deficiency of 30 of an
inch; the rains were much heavier
in the eastern portion Of the state
than in the western.

first half of July was retarded by
cool weather; seasonal temperatures
prevailed during the latter half of
