THE HEROES OF KENTUCKY.

In the blue grass state, least honesty is not the
best policy Certainly it is the safest Already, the
who trying convict the risk of their lives
the murderers of Lawyer Marcum have been made to
feel the vengeance of the murderers knsmen The Judge
the prosecuting attorney and the witnesses for the state
have all been threatened, and that the who made
the threats prepared carry them out the burning
of the Jackson hotel owned by of the witnesses,
proves.
1t would not be to their everlasting shame, if the
who have been conducting the prosecution Of Jett
and White should their efforts Life is precious
to the majority of men, and it's exactly comfortable
to feel that minute the bullet the dagger of
assassin end it. But if the prosecution persists in
its good work in spite of threats and succeeds in
vcting the Kentucky murderers the world wrecognize
who has aided in that prosecution hero.
To be he will only have done his duty, but do
ones duty when is in danger of assassna-
ton is the very best kind of herosm for untes
and physical courage.
The announcement has been made that the Salvation
Army planning to send into the mountain regions of
Kentucky of its most militant corps Perhaps where
state authority has failed religious authority will
coed and the medieval of the vendetta will be
banished. The average Kentucky mountaineer un-
tanned unlettered who has deed the law
since the government declared tax on whisky. A
hatred of anything that of government restraint
seems bred in his bones. Education alone will eradicate
the feeling If the missionaries who go into the
tans not also teachers in the broadest of
term If is probable that the condition of affairs in
Kentucky will be permanently improved
However, should the prosecutors of Jett and White
be successful in bringing justice the murderers of
Lawyer Marcum Jackson county will receive excellent
object lesson Doubtless much Of the defiance of law
now expressed by the mountaineers of Kentucky is
braVado Once let these ountaneers feel that the
is really strong and they will be forced into outward
show of respect for it, least And this will become
something when the law demonstrates that it is
able to bring to justice all those who defy it.

THE ACTIVITY OF ODELL

man Of Plat that J. S. Carkson who was one time the
official headsman of the Republican party and who was
given $4,000 job in New York to keep the Roosevelt
sentiment alive has been called to Washington to report

1t is clear to Col Roosevelt his supporters that
there is going to be trouble in New York IF the
Nent1on were held today Roosevels own state would be
against him. Among the big men of his party he has

interests fear him and the bucolic interest regards him
S unsafe The consequence is that he is in bad wav
IN New York and there is little prospect Of an improve

is concerned.
S1here is impression abroad that the president is
restraining himself with to the events of the
next year and that he were certain of nomination and

assurance OF TOUR years more the White House Pres-

her beauty will avail her little.
For half century America has successfully de-

pressed in the motions and speeches was
in favor of the conventions contenting
itself with indorsing the action of the
executive board and leaving it to the OPP
orators to accept the three district presl-
quenees Of their refusal. Not few OF
the delegates declared openly for a strike
to enforce acceptance of the district
presidents credentials as they now stand.

that have occurred since the close of
the strike and making suggestions as to

Stories They Tell


A certain st. Anthony Hill young
man is wondering these days what his
fiancee thinks Of him-and he dare not
go around to her home to ask her.
They were to be married in the au-
tumn-tide, and for some time he has
been trying in many and divers man
ners to convince her of the fact that
he is 'it''
Sunday he proposed that they visit
certain little church just outside the
city, and she agreed-anything for
novelty.
Things were conducted at this little
church is very primitive way, as he
found out. IN
He does not receive more than $50
per week in the shape of salary but
what he lacked in the way of cash he
decided to make up in bluff
The minister announced that the COL
lection would now be taken UP, and
putting his hand In his pocket the
young fellow drew forth $40 bill and
contr1ved it SO that she caught a
glimpse Of 1T before the plate got to
them. She spent a few seconds eager
~ coaxing him ito not be silly" but
he manfully ignored her. With a great
deal of unnecessary show he put the
Dill on the plate, and then when it was
all over she looked at him proudly.
According to an old custom the cler-
gyman announced the amount of the
offering, and the young fellow almost
fell dead when the venerable man arose
and said: The amount received in
the Offering IS $4.65"

REACH POUGHKEEPSIE
Badger Boys Think They Have
Stronger Crew Than Last Year.

POUGHKEEPSIE,N N. Y, June 15.-
The rough water and disagreeable
weather conditions continued through
out the day. Nevertheless, Coach
Ward, Of Pennsylvania, insisted that
all his men should enter their shells
and go over the strip of comparatively
smooth water that extended along the
west bank of the Hudson river.
The chief interest in rowing circles
today centered in the arrival Of the
crews from Columbia and Wisconsin
universities. The Wisconsin men were
in charge of Coach Andrew O'Dea, who
said that they were well after their
long journey, though somewhat tired.
The Wisconsin varsity is made up as
follows:
Bow, w. F. Moffatt; 2. A. II. Bartel:
3, Mather; 4, r. G. Stevenson (captain) !;
5, P. c. Gaff1n; 6, E. L. Jordan Z. A, Fl
Miller; stroke, E. '. .Mccomb; coxsWain,
The men feel that they have as strong
crew than last year. but where it IS
faster they profess not to know, say
Ing that they expect their trials on the
Hudson to settle that question. Their
freshmen, they say. are very much
stronger and much more to be depended
upon than last year The varsity four is

event and is made possible by Columbia

in height about S feet II inches. They
brought only. one Shell. the eight-oared
camilla which was used by the varsity
in 1899 and subsequently by the fresh
men. A new shell made by Dayie. of
Boston, is expected tomorrow. Coach
O'Dea was very much dissatisfied with
the miller boat house to which his crew
were assigned and heohad a stormy In
tervtew with the local committee which
promised to do everything he desired,
wished.
Coach Edward Hanlon reported his men
all in good condition and he says that he
has two first-class crews. which will do
credit to the university.

flung himself into chair, trembling with
excitement. His acceptance of the throne

That the action of the skupShtina is

bribery or force; that those directly i'm

be increased and that an official delegation
come to Geneva to confer with him.
King Peter announced that he had ac-
