BOOK BILL NOW LAW,
Governor Beckham Does Not
Exercise Veto Power.
Another Text Book Bill to be In
troduced---Chief Executive
States His Objections.

Frankfort, KY. Feb. o.-Governor
Beckham said last night that he al
lowed the Cautrill school book bill to
become law because 1t provides for
uniformity OF text books and maxi.
mum rates, although 1t is drawn In
the interest of the school book ring.
The ten.day limit expired on the
bill yesterday, and 1t became law
without the Governors signature.
Representative Newman will offer a
a bill In the house tomorrow which
will be an amendment to the Csntriil
bill. Gov. Beckham said that the
Cantrill bill was passed In the Inter.
est of the American Book Trust. He
said the American Book Company
had certain provisions inserted in the
bill. The Governor declared that the
Joy over the passage OF the bill by
certain members of the house ought
to be sufficient to convince people
that it was "lcaded." He said the
the same lobby was at Frankfort this
winter that had fought school book
legislation since 1898 and 1t was the
same lobby that pursued William
Goebel.
Governor Beckham objects to the
bill because it allows existing con-
tracts to remain in vogue for two
wears He wants all contracts cam
celled at once.

The original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri-

A PUBLIC ENTERPRISE
Proposed Macadamized Road to
Beaver Dam Public NeCeS-
Sity-Railroad Could
be Used.

Our friend writing from Rockport
to the Herald, and speaking OF the
turnpike road to be built from Hart
ford to Beaver Dam, says:
1t would be as urjust as 1t Is untrue
to suppose that the benefits OF such
road would be HaItford's alone. 1t
would be equally unjust and untrue
to say 1t Is but the wall of doomed
town grasping at straws. AS a mat
ter of fact, Hartford was never more
prosperous aud independent. One
has but to go upon her streets to see
this fact verifed-see the many new,
arge and handsome business houses,
iull-stocked and hustling with
steady trade; see the many new, pref
ty and substantial dwellings on every
hand. all occupied. II not by owner,
then by tenant. who Is paying rat
thing good rents see her aggressive,
cheerful, smiling, prosperous citizens,
full of hope and purpose, as surely
marking the prosperity Of the town
as mercury registers the temperature;
all proving that Hartford stands In
need of neither charity no commisera-
ton.
This road, in truth will be quite as
helpful to large portion OF the coun-
ty in reaching the county seat, upon
the one hand, and a most important
shipping point, upon the other, as to
Hartford. Hence, even for selfish
reason, it shonld be heartily endorsed
by the people upon the principle OF a
great good to great number, which,
In the nature OF things, must rebound
to the good OF all.
So, proceed with your rat killing,
and don't hesitate to ask county aid.
No publlc-spirited citizen would with
hold aid to an undertaking which
promises such benefits directly to the
many, and indirectly to all.
And now, listen--ss Congressman
Sherley, vi the 5th District would say
when the work Is safely launched
and while Hartford is enjoying this
refreshingly lucid interval, let her
take the initiative to build a trolley
line from Fordsville OF Hartford
and Ceutertowu TO Rockport. This
would not only afford these large and
important sections much needed facili-
ties for reaching the court house, and
shipping their surplus, but give
Hartford almost unequaled trade ad-
vantages by thus being brought into
Close connection with two more COM
peting lines, those of the Texas rail-
road and Green river. This Is not
all. Under every foot OF land this
line would traverse, there lie veins OF
coal richer than the fabulous gold
fields of Alaska. That Western Ken
lucky coal is to be fully developed In
the near future. there can be no sort
of question. Conditions are rapidly
forcing our mineral wealth to the
front. We cannot stay the tide II we
would. Soon we shall see the smoke
and spires of the coming Pittsburg Of
Kentucky, aud If 1t Is not to be Rock
port, then let 1t be Hartford, whose
forts first protected our pioneers, and
whose past, so redolent of precious
memories, Is as sweet as an anthem,
and whose future Is as secure as can be
made by prodigal nature-a noble
honorable, aggressive manhood and
womanhood so superior and deserv'
ing, that I, for lack of art, must yield
its praise to more skillful hands.

DR.. POULSON CALLED TO WILMINGTON
Asked By Official Board to Become Pastor of
Asbury N. E. Church for the Remainder
Of the Present Conference Year.

At meeting of the official board of
Asbury Methodist Episcopal Churrh
Wilmington last night, call was ex.
tended unanimously to the Rev. DIR.
Thomas L. Poulson. of Ridley Park,
to become ministerial supply for the
church until Conference meets in
March next. Presiding Elder Alpheus
s. MOwbray will appoint DR. Poulson
to the pulpit of Asbury. DR.. Poulson
preached Sunday morning aud even
ing at Asbury by invitation of Presid-
ing Elder MOwbray, with the under
standing that he would be appointed
to fill the pulpit there for the remain
der of the Conference year, if the
official board should invite him to do
so. He said he would be willing to
become Asbury's pastor until Confer
.ence provided the official board should
desire him. DIR. POulson Is a former
Smyrnian and a brother in-law of Mrs.
W. W. Tschudy of Smyrna. At pre-
sent he is living at Ridley Park, where
he is leading a retired life. Presiding
Elder Mowbrsy presided over the ses-
sion of Asbury's official board last
night 1t was made plain to the pre-
siding elder that the official board did
not desire pastor taken from some
other church and appointed to Asbury
at this time, for they did not wish to
disturb another congregation as they
had been disturbed at Asbury. They
preferred a minister who had no pas
tOral relations to sever in order to take
up the work at Asbury. They were
favorably impressed with DIR. PoulsOn
and by a unanimous vote invited him
to their pulpit for the Conference year
and to assume all the PASTORAL duties.
Presiding Elder Mowbray last night
wired DIR. Poulson of the unanimous
invitation from Asbury, and of hii
appointment to the church.

Others Will Follow ShOrtly-OVer
$1,000 Worth Of Bills Allowed.

Smyrna Town Council which met
Friday evening with all present except
J. G. Robinson, is disL Losed to give

WHEAT THRHsHING AROUND cHRSwOLD
Turning Out Fairly Well But the Yield Gen.
orally Speaking Is Below Average.

CHEswoLD. July 11.-Only few
crops of wheat have been threshed in
this vicinity as yet. The moist condi-
ton of the weather the past week has
been much in the way. AS between
the owners of threshing outfits who
wish to make time and the growers
who desire their grain housed in
good condition, there is being quite a
pull. The crops which are in barns
are generally said to be of good quail
ity, but the yield below the average.
Mrs. Mary A. Bentley on the Leipsic
road, one of our largest farmers, re-
ports $50 bushels from go acres. One
small field of ''Fultio Mediterranean, ="
a new variety imported from Indiana,
yielded her 90 bushels per acre, an
other field of "Fulcaster" variety
produced 20 bushels per acre, while
the third field was very light, reduc-
ing her average to 16s bushels per
acre. W. B. Knots, near Cheswold,
reports yield of 20 bushels per acre
from his fallow field. It seems the
fallow and early seeding is making up
fairly well on high land, but late seed.
ing and low lands are very light in
deed.

TIMOTHY SLAUGHrER'S STRICKEN FAMILY
Is Visited by malignant Cases Of Scarlet Fe.
yer Which Takes Away Son and Daughter.

There is general sympathy for the
family of Timothy Slaughter who
resides on the Register farm, :"
near Bombay Hook, in the untimely
removal by death of one son and one
daughter from the awful effects of scar
let fever. Harvey Slaughter, the six
teen year-old son, was first taken sick
last Monday week and so malignant
was the case that he only lived until
Friday. The day before he died Flor
ence Slaughter, the fifteen-year old
daughter, was stricken with the dis
ease and only lived four days. She
died Monday. The young man was
buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery the
next day following his death and the
young lady was buried on the evening
of the same day she died. How the
| disease was contracted cannot be ex-
planned as the children had not been
off of the farm, out since it has struck
it's awful blow into the family. there
has been the utmost precaution to
keep the disease from spreading. Mr..
and Mrs. Slaughter had their five re-
naming children moved at once into
the barn where they have been quar-
tered while the house is being disin-
fected. 1t is a sad plight and Mr.. and
Mrs. Slaughter are nearly heartbroker
over the affair. The family and ply.
sician, however, are taking every pre-
caution and it is sincerely hoped that
the disease will be stamped out before
it infects other members of the house
hold.

SUSPICIOUS Dog CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
Attacks the Pet Dog Of Mrs. Emma Lank Sat-
urday and InfIcts a Severe Wound.

Considerable excitement was caused
in the vicinity of the -Four Corners,
on Saturday morning by a suspicious
dog which suddenly and severely at
tackled the little pet dog of Mrs. En-
ma Lank of Wilmington. The latter
who is making visit with her father
Mr.. William Coming at Fleming's
Fleming, had come to town to do some
shopping, and while passing in the
vicinity of the -Four Corners" sus-
picious bird dog without any warning
rushed up to the little terrier and
grabbed it in the jaw, shaking it with
bulldog tenacity. The little dog
rushed to it's owner, bleeding pro-
fusely and the big dog made its way
down Commerce street acting in a
strange manner. Byron Stanley
and Mr.. Benjamin Collins who we're
near and saw the transaction, jumped
into a team and with a shot gun bor-
rowed from Alfred Tilghman, overlook
the vicious animal IN front of Glenn
Scouts gate. just the other side of
town and soon dispatched it. Mrs.
Lank was advised to kill her pet dog,
but she refused to do it and took it to
her fathers home for treatment.
Whether the bird dog was mad or not
was not definitely determined, but
its actions had every appearance OF
being affected with the rabies.
