SENATOR FARRIs, charged with
"boodling" in connection with
baking-powder legislation, was
tried last week at Jefferson City.
The case was given to the jury
Saturday night, and next morning
a verdict of mot guilty" was rend-
cred. There has been a great deal
said about this case during the
past year, and if some of the ed
itors could have had their will,
hanging without benefit of clergy
would have been the defendants
doom. Newspaper conviction is
easy.

A pathetic case is before the
good people of Dunklin county
The wife of a man in Jail convict
ed of violating the local option
law, at Cardwell, applied to the
county authorities Monday to keep
her and her children from starv-
ing. Her story is that her hus-
band has no money to pay the
fines or even the cost in the cases
and that so far he has been unable
to borrow the money. One of the
brothers of her husband has been
supporting the family of the con-
victed man, but he could not keep
up this aid. Another brother,
able to pay the fines and costs, is
not inclined to do it, having pros
pective troubles of his own. The
wife was informed by the county
officers that the only relief the
county could give was to send her
to the poor house. She declined
to go, saying that she could not
bear the idea of taking her chill
dren there. So, it seems that the
public will have to contribute to
the unfortunate woman's support,
while the county is boarding him
in jail at a cost of so cents per day.
Now, is there a lesson, a sermon,
in this or not? The husband knew
that he would be prosecuted if he
violated the law. He knew that
others had been. The county
officers were sworn to do their duty
to prosecute, just as they did. The
man a stand his punishment,
but it is sad to think that an in
dustrious, trustful wife and inno-
cent, sweet children should have
to suffer for the sins of the hus-
band and father.-Dunkltn Demo-
crdt.

THE Scott County Kicker pro-
fesses to be surprised that | en-
dorse the idea that the st. Louis
police, being under the supervis-
ion of the Governor--''he is at the
head of the police force, just as he
is at the head of the State troops"
says the Kicker-have no right to
invade the county, except accord
ing to the statute. Bro. Hafner
says he is no lawyer and thanks
God for it, and then proceeds to
twist the law-too often unstable
under designing artifce-in a way
that makes me, too, thank the
Lord of Hosts that he is not of the
legal profession. | claim that the
unlawful enforcement of law is
more dangerous than it's first vio-
lation; that if the police of St.
Louis can lawfully invade the
county contiguous, and resist the
process of the constituted author
tiles of that county, because the
Governor is at their head s'just as
he is at the head of the State
troops" then Iron and Scott and
all other counties in the State are
mere dependencies Of the Chief
Executive, subject to an alien
force, SO to speak, just as he, in
his absolutism, wills! If this be
true, and to the police of st. Louis
is entrusted the peace and lawful
ness Of the whole State, why is
not the State required to pay them?
Is it not gross injustice to the tax
payers of the metropolis to force
them to pay for conservators Of
the peace whose Jurisdiction lis
confined only by State lines?

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save
to exceed ten per cent. of his earn
ings. He must spend nine dollars
in living expenses for every dol
lar saved. That being the case he
cannot be too careful about unnec-
essary expenses. Very often a
few cents properly invested, like
buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later
on. 1t is the same in buying
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrh9a Remedy. 1t costs but a
few cents, and a bottle of it in the
house often saves a doctors bill of
several dollars. For sale by Ar

Paducah News Democrat: 1t has
been authoritatively announced that
the Simmons syndicate, which owns
the furnaces at Grand Rivers. vii
start the furnaces again at an early
date, or dispose of the property to an
other syndicate, which wants to ope-
rate the plant, which has been idle

Another large company is said to

offer for the property, but the official
announcement of the intention of the
Simmons company will not be made
until b. 5. Galtra, vice president OF
the company, returns to St. Louis.
Mr. Giltra and a part or the stock
holders of the company, inspected the
property at Grand Rivers Thursday
returning to Paducah in the after
noon and then proceeding to st. Lou
is at night.
There has been rumors for severa
months that the owners would agail
blow in the furnaces and begin op
erations at Grand Rivers, aud it i
probable that an official announce
ment will be made within the mex
few days.

To Investigate,

Frankfort, KY, Oct. 13.-The
railroad commission, after an all day
session. decided to make a general
and sweeping investigation of all To-
cal rates charged by railroads be-
tween all points in Kentucky. 1t is
believed this will be the longest
and most important battle ever known
iu the railroad history of the state.
The decision was reached after long
argument yesterday, when the attor-
neys for the railroads endeavored to
block the investigation. The com
mission will draft rules at once. The
first hearing will probably be held
in Louisville. Two or three months
will be consumed in the investiga-
ton.

Is It Oil2

The Sturgis correspondent of the
Morganfeld Sun, seems to entertain
a strong suspicion that the West
Kentucky Coal company have struck
an oil bason on their property near
their new town of Gardener. Wri-
ting to the Sun, the correspondent
says;
"Mr Butcher, who is the superin-
tendent and general manager of the
West Kentucky Coal company, has
never been approached as to the reli-
ability of the report, as it is well
known how reticent he is about his
company's affairs. The first intima-
ton as to their findings was given to
your correspondent by a prominent
banker of the county, and knowing
full well that this great company had
never bought a foot of land to sell,
it is but natural that this report be
credited. No money can buy a lot
from Mr.. Butcher in the new town of
Gardiner, which precludes the idea of
its being given the public in order to
boom the new town.

ago Mrs. Talbott's grandfather, Ty-
son Whitman, was induced to pur.
chase a thousand acres Of timber land
near Cynthiana, Mo. One of the
heirs, Mrs. Bob Roberts, recently got
hold of this fact, an investigation
was begun, and the result is the re-
covery of this valuable piece of pro-
perty, now valued at $50, 900 to the
heirs.

When questions effectlng the in

majority of the citizens demand it.
My humble judgement is that a few

the people without their consent. If
elected | shall take this stand upon
those questions whenever presented
to me. These are my views ON these

Horse Knew the Way.

Murray Ledger: Death was the
driver and letter carrier on the ru-
raj delivery route of Frederick H.
Lockwood, of New Canaan, today.
Lockwood left New Canaan early
this morning in perfect health, to go
over his route. He was driving his
favorite horse. one that had been IN
the service since the rural delivery
was started. just after going on his
route Lockwood had a stroke of apo
plexv and died. He fell back in the
wagon hidden from view by the mail
sacks and the canvas sides.
The faithful old horse, accustomed
to going over the route almost daily
made the usual rounds. He stopped
at the mail boxes along the route.
After standing at box for the usual
time to allow for the deposit and col
lection of mail the horse would jog |
along to the next box.
He had almost completed the route
when he came to a standstill in front
Of the residence of Daniel Hamilton.
The fact that the horse remained still
80 long and nothing was seen of Mr..
attracted the attention of
persons in the house. They went out
o investigate and found Lockwood
lead.

The Travis Tree.

A Poem written for the Travis Re
union by DIR. Perkins.
A goodly tree your father planted
here;
Their faithful hearts comminghng
hopes and fears;
How brave to you doth now ITS
strength appear,
Hinged with the growth of an hund-
red years.
Historic leaves have for your healing
been,
You have been grateful for the pleas
ant shade;
And cheerful songs from out It's gllm-
mering sheen
Have for your hearts pleasant mu-
sic made.
Many the days of sunshine has it
known,
Many the storms which have its vigor
tried,
Through storm and sunshine it has
sturdier grown,
And flung its branches wider and
more wide,
Sweet has its fruitage been to faint
ing men,
Whose souls were hungry for the liv-
ing bread;
Eating whereof, and taking h art
again,
Upon God errands swift their feet
have sped.
Long may its strength endure, it,
span increase,
It's blossoms laugh, it, fruits be large
and fair,
Deep in its heart be heard the song
of peace,
And heaven battle it with the purest
air.
