 | The reports of the officers contained much to encourage the members, show ing a very active year in Good Templar circles with gratifying results. More lecture work was done during the past year than in any one term for years past, two lecturers having been in the field. Col. Sobieski and J. M Glass. who covered practically the en- tire territory. The most important work of the order is along educational lines. in stirring up the public con l of total abstinence for the individual and the prohibition of the manufacture and sale Of intoxica ting beverages fer the state and nation. They also issue more publications and temperance lit erature than any other kindred organi- zation. The grand lodge of Arizona publishes The Arizona Good Templar' quarterly. which is bright newsy lit tie paper edited by G. C. T. Gibson and c. $. Walbridge.
 During the year three lodges have heen organized, one by Col. Sobieski and two by A. P. Walbridge, and one lodge has suspended There are noN twelve active lodges in the territory with an aggregate membership of 4a!. a gain of two lodges and twenty-three members.

GEO. ROGERS CLARK
Gov, Durbin VetOes a Bill for
a Statue of Him.
Indianas Executive Disapprovel the
Bill-Case Of Interest to
People Here.
CLARK ONCE OWNED PADUCAH

Governor Durbin of Indiana has
ust vetoed bill which provided for
statue of George Rogers CLARK in the
vacant niche in Statuary Hall, Wash
ington. This action VIII doubtless be
of particular interest in this section
because George Rogers CLARK formerly
owned the land on which Paducah
now stands, and has a number of rels-
tives, though no direct ones. in
Paducah now.
Gen. CLARK, who is known in his
tory as the conqueror Of the North
west Territory, was granted two large
tracts of land in this section in 1895
for his services during the Revolution
airy war. One OF these tracts included
what is now Psducah and McCracken
county, and 1t was mortgaged shortly
thereafter to pay Gen. Clsrk's debts,
and a few years later sold by order Of
the jefferson circuit court to George
Voolfolk, and later sold to Isaac
Clark, who has descendants here now.
Governor Durbin, in justification Of
his action. says:
"That Clark was powerful agent
in advancing the civilization Of the
Northwest Territory no one will con-
trovert. Impartial history, however,
has fixed his place as a pioneer SOL
der. 1t is to be regretted that SO
brave . warrior should have so serious
cloud resting on his own loyalty
and patriotism. He was discredit-
ed by his own state.
There is no question that he char
acterized the government of the Unit
ed States as weak and without charac-
ter, and was willing to join this amy
of Spain. In the face Of this record,
and because his selection, il not other
wise Objectionable, would not recog-
nize q citizen Of Indiana, cannot ap-
prove the bill. 4"

ROCK ISLAND DOMINATES

New York. March 5-The relations
between the Rock Island and Atchison
are destined to become very close,
notwithstanding denials that have
been made, particularly by those rep
resenting the present management OF
the Atchison company.
While no details are to be had from
those In interest as to the plans for the
future, IL may be said on good author
ity that the present management OF
the Atchison is likely TO lose control
unless terms are reached with those in
control Of Rock Island before the next
annual meeting of the Atchison COM
pany. The belief in well informed
circles is that control Of Atchison has
been acquired by the big Four" OF

CALLED AGAIN
Rev. j. G, Reid Offered the LIST
Church of Kansas City.
Will Decide the Question Definitely in
Few Days.

Rev. J. @. Reid, the popular and
progressive pastor of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church of this city, has
received a call to the First Cumber-
land Presbyterian church Of Kansas
City, Mo.
Mr. Reid has not yet decided def
nitely what he will do. He has refus-
ed several very strong calls within the
past year, being not anxious to leave
the field here, but the urgency of this
is causing him to give the matter an
earnest consideration.
The Kansas City field is very
promising one. There are three Cum
berland Presbyterian churches there,
OF which the one calling Mr.. Reid is
first, with congregation larger than
the one here. TIE call is not only
tiattering one, but the largeness Of the
work would especially appeal to any
one of Mr.. Reids vitality and energy.
Mr.. Reid is a young man, and an es-
pecially strong one; he is live and
vigorous, up-to-date in his methods,
keeping abreast of the times; full of
life's epthusiasms, and talented
preacher. He has done a fine work
here in his own congregation, and
would be a loss to the best and highest
interest and development OF our city,
should he decide to accept this call.
His people and his host of friends here
hope that he will remain in Paducsh.
but the matter will probably be decid-
ed in the next few days.

Architects Have Examined the
Masonic Temple.
It Is Understood There Is Fault in the
Plans, But 1t Can be Rem
edied.
FULL REPORT NOT GIVEN OUT

A matter OF interest to Masons all
over the state is the investigation of
the new Masonic temple at Louisville,
made recently by order of the grand
lodge. While the report has not been
made public, it seems from well au-
thenticated statements in the Louis
vile papers that the investigation was
well ordered.
Captain Brinton B. Davis, of Padu-
cab, who was a member OF the build
ing committee, and for this reason did
not submit any plans for the building,
pointed out some time since that de-
feet in the plans was that no provi.
sion had been made to keep the side
walls which support the main truss,
from bullying out. Nothing was at
the time done, but finally the report of
the alleged defect became so pubic
that a meeting Of the committee was
held and an investigation ordered.
The result is vindication OF Captain
Davis claims.
Two disinterested architects were
appointed to make a thorough exami-
nation and select third man, and the
investigation has been finished and a
report prepared, but not made public
yet.
Yesterdays Courier. Journal says:
1.-THE third expert is man who is
known only to the two architects who
were selected by the grand lodge. The
committee inspected the building
thoroughly about two weeks ago and
since then two long sessions have been
held. Finally report was unani-
mously adopted, and this was deliver
ed CD Thursday of the last week to
Mr.. H. B. Grant, grand secretary of
the grand lodge and chapter. Ken
lucky Masons. 1t is expected that the
special committee of Masons which
was appointed by the grand lodge to
pass upon the findings of the arnhi-
tects will make its decision public
within the next few days.
1.-THE substance Of the report as
submitted to Mr.. Grant is not known
IN full, but it is understood that the
principal fault in the construction of
the building lies in the fact that only
vertical strength was calculated upon
in the proportions. The committee
recommends that the walls be braced
so as to give the building the requisite
strength to meet their views of safe
ty. No estimate of the cost of the
work Of bracing the walls is given.
at is said that the expert who was
selected by the two Masonic architects
is man who is known throughout
the United States and who has also
gained fame by his work in Japan and
Mexico, and that he is well qualified
to judge anything in connection with
structural work.
1.-THE report of the committee of ar
chitects says that if the proposed
plans for braoing the walls are follow.
cd that the building will be absolute.

mine took fire Immediately, and the re-
lief force which was organized at once
to rescue the entombed miners has so
far been unable to approach the en-

Nashville, Tenn, July IA special
to the Banner from Scottsboro, Ala,

en- from the Jail Monday night and
hanged by a mob. The negro was ar
rested Sunday for an attempt to GRIM
inally assault Miss Alma, the 19-year-
old daughter of DR.. B. B. Smith. The
sheriff seized two pistols when the mob
arrived and mounting the stairs said he
would kill anyone who attempted to
come up. The threat was met with a
volley and the sheriff emptied his re-
volver in reply One shot took effect in
the sheriff's right leg and the other in
his pistol arm. The daughter of the
sheriff ran to her father and was at once
covered by a pistol in the hands of a
member of the mob and made to deliver
the keys to the cell in which the negro
was immured. One of the masked men
summoned a doctor who responded
promptly and dressed the wounds of the
sheriff, which are not dangerous.
The negro made a confession to the
brother of the young lady and others
who visited the Jail after his capture.

and Oregon except in central Washing
ton, where drought is causing injury.
Except in North Dakota and portions
of South Dakota, Minnesota and the
upper Ohio valley the oat crop has made
very favorable advancement. Harvest
ing is in progress as far north as south
ern Missouri.
The condition of cotton is very gem
orally improved throughout the belt,
but continues late and is suffering for
cultivation in the eastern districts,
where low night temperatures have
checked growth. Lice and rust have
caused injury in North Carolina and
Missouri, and in Texas boil weeviI are
spreading and are more injurious. The
crop is also suffering for cultivation in
portions of Louisiana and central and
northern Texas. Sunshine and heat are
generally needed, especially in the CEN
trail and eastern districts.
In the tobacco districts the weather
conditions have been very favorable for
this crop, which, however, is in need
of cultivation in Maryland
A fine crop of hay is being secured in
the central valleys, and the condition of
grasses in the middle Atlantic states

CONDITION OF THE CROPS.
weekly Report of the Government
Weather Bureau-COrn Shows
General Improvement.

Washington, July 1.-The weather
bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
Further improvement in the condi-
ton of corn is generally reported, and
while the crop continues late, it is max
ing growth over the western portion of
the corn belt, the condition of the crop
in Iowa now closely approximating the
average. In the middle Atlantic states
corn has made slow growth, is very
backward and much in need of cultiva-
tion.
Except over local areas the weather
conditions have been very favorable for
winter wheat harvesting in the central
valleys, but the work has been inter-
rupted by rains in the middle Atlantic
states. A marked improvement in the
condition of winter wheat is reported
from New York and Michigan, and the
crop is maturing rapidly in good con-
dition in Nebraska.
In North Dakota there has been de-
cided deterioration in the condition of
spring wheat, as a result of drought,
which has also proved damaging in por-
lions of South Dakota and northern
Minnesota. Generally, however, South
Dakota and on uplands in southern Min
nesota the crop is in thrifty condition
and it continues promising in Wiscon-
