SUDDEN DEATH.
A Former Prominent Resident OF
Silver City Passes Away III
Los AnpClGS.

Telegraphic messages received from
Los Angeles Saturday brought the
sad news of the death in that city the
same morning of George d. Jones a
former prominent resident of Grant
county. No details were given but n
letter which came u few days before
stated that Mr.. Jones was suffering
from an attack of la grippe, and It Is
supposed that the fatal termination
was due to that cause. Frank g..
Jones and Frank =. Jones, son and
brother respectively, left Saturday
evening for Los Angeles TO attend the
funeral.
George d. Jones was born in Min
eral Point, Wis, November II, 1871,
and was consequently in his 56th
year. When a young man, in the
early '70s, he came to Grant county
and engaged in ranching on the Gtla
river, in which he was very success
full. About 1887 he removed with his
family to Silver City; and two years
later entered the mercantile business.
He continued in business here until
1897, when he sold his interests and
went to Los Angeles. He is survived
10y a widow and seven children.
Mr.. Jones was possessed of good
business Judgment and made a success
of everything which he undertook
His word was as good as his bond ,
and his integrity was beyond ques-
tion. In a social way he always had
a pleasant word for everybody, and
he was highly respected and esteemed
during his long residence in this sec
tion. He was long time member
of the Masonic fraternity
A telegram received last night states
that Mr.. Jones death was the result
of brain fever and followed by an i'll
ness of three days.

LUNATICS.
Patients at Lakeland Beaten,
Kicked, ChOked and Whipped.
Bruises on the Bodies of the Vic
Tins Tell Ofthe CruaIties Prac-
ticed Under Beckhamism.

Louisville, KY, April 1l.-As a
result of the investigation into the
charges OF alleged cruelty on the
part of the attendants at Lakeland
insane asylum a few miles from
Louisville, some disclosures of
startling nature have been made.
According to the testimony of
several witnesses one of the fav-
orite forms of punishment for a
slight intracuon of the rules was
for patients TO be beaten with a
sling Shot formed of sock in which
potato or some other hard veg
etable had been placed.
Some of the patients have de-
clared that they were frequently
choked. One had been taken into a
back room and tied TO a chair, the
attendant Aogging him with a
leather belt.
Bruises on the breast and legs OF
one of the patients were shown as
proof that be had been kicked by
the attendants and it developed to-
day that shower baths were used
as a means of punishment, the
patients being held while the cold
water was allowed to drip on their
faces until the torment was almost
uncomfortable.
The startling developments in the
Investigation of the charges o
cruelty at Lakeland have aston
ished Louisville. The patients
called as witnesses today were IN
duced TO testify with difficulty be
cause they SAID they feared the at
PENDANTS. The testimony is so i'm
portant that the investigating com
mittee will resume its work mex
Monday or Tuesday. The imme
date dismissal of Will Waller anC
II. B. Pratt, two of the offending at
tendants, was decided on to-day
Black, another offender, has al
ready quit.

LOST HIS TEMPER.
Judge Cook Gets Hot in the
Collar.
Both Candidates in Trigg This
Week, But Not
Together.

Judge c. II. Bush spoke at the
court house Saturday night and ac-
corded a division OF time to Judge
Cook. They began at 8 o'clock,
Judge Bush leading off in aspeecb
of an hour and having rejoinder
of fifteen minutes. The speeches
covered about the same ground as
the day speeches Monday, except
that Judge Bush did not pay his re-
spects so vigorously to the ring that
is trying to trade him off Tor patron
age in this county.
Judge Cook in his speech lost his
usually amiable temper and roasted
the editor of the KENTUCKlAN and
other friends of Judge Bush. He
was especially severe in his criti-
cism of the Wallonia report, which
was prepared from data furnished
for the purpose and true in every
respect. The KENTUCKIAN has
since investigated the situation at
Wallonia and is in possession of
recent reports by letter and the dis
trict is claimed by Judge Bush s
friends, although he went there a
stranger. Many Cook men were
changed by the facts disclosed and
others are being changed by Judge
Cooks pitiable confessions on the
stump that he violated the law
through ignorance. If the Judge
wants to shut his eyes TO the facts
existing at Wallonia, as elsewhere
in the district, and abuse the editor
of the KENTUCKIAN for refusing to
endorse such business and for
preferriug his home man to one
who's own bar is against him, he
is welcome to the satisfaction he
gets out of his abuse. The people
here know the editor of the KEN.
TUCKIAN and the abuse of Judge
Cook or his friends can do him no
harm. Even his enemies will admit
that he is, not corrupt ringster, a
confessed gambler, a common liar,
drunkard or a thief. All these
classes are well represented among
Judge Cooks supporters, and if be
really wants to perform a public
service he might devote his atten-
tion to regulating the manners and
methods of his own crowd. This,
however, is a mere suggestion.

games of base ball will be played

tween the team of Southwestern

In Trigg This Week.

Both candidates were at Cadiz
yesterday and are in Trigg
this week. Judge Cook has declined
to accept a division of time at the
appointments made by Judge Bush
two weeks ago, but has made dates
of his own at different places. 1t is
not surprise that Judge Cook has
finally concluded that it is not best
for him to continue the JOINT dis
cussions.

CAMP

No kind of summer existence offers
greater variety than camp life. You
can have it in all shapes and sizes. If
you are real strenuous and prefer to
deny yourself all the comforts of home
you may invade the woods with an ak
on your shoulder and some flour, mo-
lasses, salt pork, fly medicine, and
bottled bait III your kit. Then you chop
down a couple of small trees and tie
them together till they resemble an
inverted Y and from the apex of that
triangle you extend another tree TO
SOME convenient point in the moss
where 1t Will stick. Over this SUPER
structure you put some bark and boughs
ana, having piled some more boughs
inside Tor bedding, you roll yourself in
a lanket and sleep the night away
uhtll n nles insist on your sitting up
ana talking to them. This is the prim-
1--we style Which an ingenious civiliza-
ton Is making questionable by in
venting sleeping bags and rubber mat
tresses and tents that drive the most per-
slstently intrusive fly to despair and
suicide. Again, If you don't care for the
forest and its solitude and prefer the
the society of your own kind as an adj
Junct to camp life you can go to Ocean
L - u SoAOAAA1O az VI ~ OIll1llelu-
or half a hundred other places where
living under canvas is possible at about
one-fifth of the ordinary summer hotel
rates. The camp idea, as applied for
profit by the resort proprietor is
not by any means new; Martha's
Vineyard, the Jersey coast and long
Island have known it for years, but
this season it is more prevalent than
ever. One mar who has erected several
hundred tents not far from here says he
eould rent as many more if he had
ground whereon to set them. Perhaps
the yearly spectacle of the President of
the United States defying the mosqui-
toes at the door of his tepee on the sands
of the Sound has something to do with
the present popularity of camp life.
Well, whether you spend your holidays
on the shores of some remote lake. or as
a unit in a continuous religious revival
over in New Jersey, or as an inhabitants
of Il cotton duck city established mainly
for surf bathing purposes, you are con
tributing something to the advance
ment of a good thing. You are preach
ing the gospel of outdoors as it never
can be preached by folks who consider
the summer time only as a season for
the garbing of winter amusements in
negligee. Progressive euchre, bridge
whist, Hungarian orchestras, course
dinners, weekly hops and lawn parties
are Indispensable to many throughout
the summer. These people narrow
their horizon by keeping always in
view that which is mainly trivial.
You must be formal and trivial in your
recreation at a big hotel. You can't be
formal in a camp. Better get one be-
fore the summer is over.-BroOklgn
