brought in by the dozen. He says his
present intention is to get as many
receipts as possible and have the as
sesor's books copied. and the
amounts computed, so when a re-
ceipt is brought in, the book can be
referred to, and the exact amount
of taxes due ascertaned. This, with
the amount shown on the receipt,
will show whether or not there has
been any overcharge. The sheriff's
books are really not necessary, as
the amount paid can be determined
by the tax receipts, and the amount
that was due by the assessors book,
which Judge Lightfoot has.
Judge Lightfoot stated in conclu-
sion that he desired to continue the
investigation and urged that all tax
payers bring in person or mail their
receipts to him.

SITE SELECTED.
Mr.. l.. G. Garrett Expects to BE
Ready for Business by Spring.

The Madison, Ind, Courier, of
February II, says:
"Mr. l.. c. Garrett last evening
decided on the site for his lead mill,
which he hopes to have in operation
in the arly spring. The location Sc
lected is on the river front, and in
cludes the three brick buildings on
the northeast corner of West and
Front streets belonging to Mrs. Tay-
Tor of Paramount, and the brick
building east belonging to Graham
& Co., together with the vacant lot
belonging to the p, c. c. & st. l..
Railway Co. This is considered an
ideal location because of it's proxim-
ity to both the river and railroad.
and for other reasons Leases are
being prepared and the several
buildings will be rearranged and
placed in suitable condition to re-
ceive the machinery and begin oper-
atoms as soon as practicable"

Judge Reed Decided the Receiy-
ership Case Today.

vor of Or. Lang. and the formal judg-
ment Of Judge w. NJ. Reed will be

To Mrs. Caldwell and Miss Lang. and
a judgment for s1.O93.2s with inter
est at G per cent. from Nov. nth,
1909. against Mrs. Addie Caldwell

A great deal of evidence was taken
In the case, and the decision had been
expected for sometime.
The judgment gives Mrs. Caldwell
and Miss Nellie Lang the home place
on North Eighth street near Madison.
This was not contested by DR., Lang.
who was willing to concede this real
estate to the others.
DR., Lang has been In charge of
the drug store for many years. and

ond to none In this section, The
court now adjudges him sole owner
of the store, of the books. accounts

Ice is IL Feet Thick in Many
Places.
Could Not Float Over shallow Places
should the Monster Gorge
Break.
DIsCOURAGING TO RIVER MEN,

Capt. Ezekiel Gordon. OF the
Charles Turner, returned last even
ing from trip up the Ohio. and his
report of the conditions he found
Is not encouraging for an early re-
sumption OF navigation between Pa
ducah and Evansville.
Capt. Turner went with his boat
to break up the ice and assist the
Harvester and tow to get out of the
ice. No effort has been made TO dy-
Mantle the gorge. and none will be,
Capt Turner states that he made
good progress until he reached Bay
City. H., esghteen miles above Pa
ducah, when he found that the ice
was piled up and gorged firmly to a
depth OF fourteen feet. In many
places the bottom OF the ice could
not be reached with a fourteen foot
pole. II is of course soft In places,
and will melt with a few days like
today. but as there are not fourteen
feet of water In many places In the
Ohio between the gorge and Padueah,
should the ice break up Il il too thick
to float over the shallow places, such
as Cottonwood bar, and upon reach
ing these places would simply stop
and remain there until the river
rises sufficiently to float II on, or II
melts.
The breaks In the gorges above
have been such as to AFFORD much re-
lief, according to reports received
here. The melting will necessarily
be slow unless the weather gets much
warmer, and no rise OF consequence
Is expected In the near future.
The Evansville boats are still laid
up, the Joe Fowler here and the John
5. Hopkins In Green river.

Many Mangled Bodies Have

low the surface was the most grue-
some and narrowing ever witnessed
in this section of Alabama.
or the miners who entered the
mines so far fifty bodies have been
recovered. AS time grows, notwith-
standing the efforts of the rescuers
to reach the entombed men, recovery
already of so many dead bodies, pre-
cludes any idea that any living men
remain among the unfortunates still
in the mine.
The corpses are frightfully man
gled and disfigured and identified
ton almost impossible. Many of
them are so badly bruised and twist
ed and discolored that negroes can
not be distinguished from white
men.
All day long at the mouth of the
mine, the wailing and moaning of
women and children whose unfortu-
nate relatives were in the mine were
the most heartrendng feature of the
disaster. One hundred families and
300 children are left destitute and
without means of support.
As the bodies of the victims, which
in many cases have been gathered
together piece at time, were
brought to the surface and they were
placed in rows on a platform and
late this evening ambulances began
their removal to Bessemer.
One of the most grewsome sights
witnessed was a mans head being
carried on. of the mine in a din
ner basket. 1t was found in this
position with the flesh almost en-
tirely burned away from the skull.
Legs, arms and mangled trunks
were brought out in succession.
After nightfall the entrance to the
mine was converted into a veritable
chamber of horrors. the awfulness of
which was intensified by fiickering
lamps as the feeble rays fell upon
the mangled and bleeding fragments
of human flesh strewn about the en-
trance. Many stout hearted men, who
had been assisting in the work of
rescue, were forced to give up the
task and numerous persons have
tainted upon seeing the CHASTITY ar
ray of bodies.
Many bodies can be seen floating
in the water in the mine. which can
not be reached by rescuers.

HIS ADDRESS A FINE ONE

Washington, ID. c., Feb. ga
President Theodore Roosevelt and
party left this morning for Phila-
delphia, Pa, where the president ad-
dressed the students of the UNIVERSE
ty of Pennsylvania, and where the
regents Of the University will con-
fer on him the degree of doctor of
laws. at which time the degree will
also be conferred on the emperor OF
Germany.
President Roosevelt in his ad-
dress. spoke as folloW:
AS a nation we have had our full
share of great men. but the two men
of preeminent greatness who, as the
centuries go on, will surely loom
above all others are Washington and
Lincoln; and It is peculiarly fitting
that their birthdays should be cele-
brated every year and the meaning
of their lives brought home close to
us.
No other city in the country Is so
| closely identified with Washington
career as Philadelphia. He served
here in 1875 In the Continental Con-
gress. He was here as commander
of the Army at the time of the battles
of Brandywine and Germantown:
and it was near here that with that
army he faced the desolate winter at
Valley Forge, the winter which mark
ed the turning point of the Revolu-
tionary war. Here he came again as
President of the Convention which
framed the Constitution. and then as
President of the United States, and
finally as Lieutenant-General of the
Army after he had retired from the
Presidency.
One hundred and eight years ago,
just before he left the Presidency, he
issued his farewell address, and in Il
he laid down certain principles which
he believed should guide the citizens
of the Republic for all time to come,
his own words being, (which appear
to me all-important to the permanent
cy of your felicity as a people"

an even greater man than Lincoln.
did not have Liucoln's wonderful
gift of expression-that gift which
makes certain speeches of the rail-
splitter from Illinois read like the in
spired utterances of the great He
brew seers and prophets. But he
had all of Lincoln's sound common
sense, far-sightedness, and devotion
to lofty ideal. Like Lincoln he
sought after the noblest objects, and
like Lincoln he sought after them
by thoroughly practical methods |
These two greatest Americans can
fairly be called the best among the |
great men of the world, and greatest |
among the good men of the world, |
Each showed in actual practice his /
capacity to secure under our system
the priceless union of individual lib |
erty with the goyernmentakstreng
Each was as free from the vices of
the tyrant as from the vices OF the
demagogue' To each the empty flu
tiiity OF the mere doetrinaire was as
allen as the baseness of the merely
politician. Each was
incapable alike OF the wickedness
when seeks by force of arms TO
wrong Others and OF the no less Grim
mai weakness which fails to provide
effectively against being wronged by
others
