weeks, but last Friday evening he be-
came suddenly violent and at one time
was near to overpowering the entire
family, but just then a neighbor hap
pened in and came to their assistance.
On Sunday he was examined by Drs
Guam and Bilstad, who pronounced him
insane and Undersheriffs Kanouse and
Milem took him to the Mendoza hospital
Monday evening. No particular cause
for his mental collapse is known. He
has always been an industrious boy and

John Notseter is farmer who believes
in dual purpose cows. He believes in it
because he has tried it and has been sue
cessful. For several years he has been
building up herd of milk strain Dur
ham cattle, and is said to have fine one.
Recently he has secured as the head of
his herd fine thoroughbred Scotch
Durham bull, raised by the we'll known
breeder, Geo W Hall of EdgertoD. Mr.
Notseter claims that test considered he
can do as we'll with these Durhams as
others with Holsteins or Jerseys, and he
has the advantage that the steers will
make good beefs.

An indication of how the farmers
OF the state, regardless of party, feel
toward Governor Herrick, may be in.
dicated by the state of affairs in Car
roll county, representative agricul-
tural county of Ohio, where quiet
canvass was recently made.
The Salineville Banner, the Repub-
lican organ of Columbiana county, is
very lukewarm toward Governor, and
has in fact, bolted his candidacy, as
have many of the other Republican
newspapers of the state not owned or
controlled by the bosses. The Banner
tells the story of Carroll county as
follows:
A quiet canvass among the voters
of the eastern part of Carroll county
taken by responsible parties conveys
the intelligence that a number of the
Republicans are not at all favorable
towards Governor Herrick for sec
ond term. While they are not wholly
claiming that they will not vote for
him because of the Brannock law, they
are crlticising him for his action on
the road law, the school code and his
attitude toward the farmers general
ly AS to the school law they say he
did not give them a fair show in the
country schools, as the law was so
changed that 1t did not benefit the

rural schools, and the city schools
were the most profted by the new
law; that the new so changed the old
law that 1t is indefinite leaving many
things to puzzle the new board of
directors.
The road law they claim only de-
sired to profit the road builders, as
the commission appointed to attend
that department will only advise ex.
pensive roads which must be collected
from the abutting owners of the land
on the proposed road His attitude
toward clipping the appropriation, for
agriculture purposes is also a griev-
ance which they resent and will not
support. These are the gist of some
of the arguments hurled against the
state Republicans.
The parties interested say they will
have some of the county officials to
back them up, and that they will
make it an interesting campaign for
the regular Republicans when the
election rolls around.
There is no talk of further cutting
the Republican ticket except the head,
as they feel that the rest of the ticket
should be elected. They also insist
that the new election law was also
directed against them, and served in
every way to discourage the indepen-
dent voter.

A new species of political worker
has made his appearance at Marys-
vile, this state. He is a combination
of book agent and Herrick boomer,
principally the latter. He seeks the
ministers of the town, offers to sell
them standard set of books, and,
while he is singing the praises of his
wares, drops a sly query as to the
preachers attitude toward the gov
ernor of the state. If the minister
says he is not certain he will vote for
governor, then the agent opens up a
line OF oratory, beside which his for
mer words Of praise for his books
pales into insignificance. The agent
who went to Marysville said his name
was Malone. He said he was United
Presbyterian preacher, with home and
, antecedents at Bellepoint.

EIGHT TIMES WIDOWED BY
DEATH SHE TAKES ONNO 9

Talk about your muchly married
women! Louisville, KY, is the home
of the worlds champion.
Matilda Jane Ayres has just taken to
herself her ninth husband, breaking
the record for herself, but she was
Eolder of the champion marriage belt
at the time of her eighth marriage.
Matilda Jane, though only 33 years of
age, has been; Mrs. Morgan Ellet, Mrs.
Stephen Boards, Mrs. Edward Wicton,
Mrs. Andrew Lowman, Mrs. Nat Low
man, Mrs. Manual Hudson, Mrs. Du-
mesnil, Mrs. Ayres, Mrs. Joe Humph-
rey.
Death, not divorce, has widowed Ma
tilda Jane. No breath of scandal no
ermined court has sent her storeward
for her weeds.
Matilda Jane was born at Harkins.
The other day she became Humphrey.
But between Harkins and Humphrey
lie history and romance, says spe-
cial from Louisville. B..
When only 16 years of age fate de-
creed that she should love a young
mountaineer manner Morgan Ellet One
night she and Ellet eloped on horse
back to Campbellsville, ten miles away,
and were married. Her. father, who
had opposed the match, followed them
on horseback and met them on the re-
turn. The old man attempted to shoot
his son-in-law, but the girl wife
stepped in front of her lord and master
and defied her father to shoot. He did
not.
Eleven months after Morgan Bllet
went hunting. He climbed a fence,
his gun slipped, the hammer struck a
rail, and Matilda Jane was widow
Then there came a-wooing Stephen
Boards, wealthy slSinflint, who held
a mortgage on the home of Mrs. Ellet.
Instead of foreclosing the mortgage
he held, he laid seige to the heart of
the pretty widow and they were mar
ried. One day Boards rode away to
foreclose a mortgage on somebody's

property. He was shot from ambush
and killed. He left a large estate.
Then there came down from the hills
young Edward Wicton, moonshiner.
Matilda Jane would listen to no other
suitor, but married the handsome
young moonshiner.
One day a posse of "revenuers," as
the mountaineers called them, raided
Wicton cabin. Edward was away from
flcers and were fighting them when
Edward appeared. He stood behind a
tree and killed two officers and wound
ed one or two others, until they re-
turned his fire, and then young Mrs.
Wicton went back to her old home,
once more widow.
She hardened to loves song when it
was warbled by Andrew Lowman. Two
years they were happy together, and

She then wed Nat Lowman, brother
Of Andy. One day Nat took his axe to
the mountains to chop wood. At mid
night he had not returned, and Ma

When she found huge tree lately cut
down she looked under it, and there
lay her husband, crushed to death.
One year after her fifth experience
of widowhood, Manuel Hudson came to
the house, and after a short courtship
they were married. Hudson was a
lobbyist and would go to Frankfort
when the legislature convened. There

she wed Joe Humphrey.

The Week in Trade

Dun's comment on the trade of the
week is in part as follows:
Trade reports are less uniformly
favorable, but adverse factors are of a
temporary nature, and the net results
for the week is satisfactory. Numer
Gus strikes have occurred, exerting the
customary pernicious influence over
business, and the epidemic of yellow
fever is restricting southern trade. On
the other hand, thermal conditions
have facilitated retail trade, crop pros
poets have greatly improved, and out
of town buyers are numerous In all OF
the leading markets. Preparations for
winter and spring distribution of mer-
chandise are no longer handicapped by
uncertainty regarding agriculture, for
harvest operations are progressing rap
idly under better than average condi-
tions, and there is little anxiety re-
garding the future. Manufacturing
plants are increasingly active; textile
mills still occupy the strongest posi-
ton, while shoe shops are not making
concessions to get business. Iron fur
naces and steel mills make progress,
but less rapidly Lumber mills and
dealers are having an exceptionally
busy season, as might be expected in
view of the latest reports regarding
the increase in number and value of
building permits at the largest cities.
Railway earnings in July were IA per
cent greater than in the same month
last year, and foreign commerce at
this port for the last week showed an
increase of S3,917 ,439 in imports, while
exports decreased $1,969,227. Little
change has occurred in the financial
situation, rates ruling easy, while
prices of securities have risen close to
the highest point on record. Bank ex-
changes at New York for the week
were AIS per cent larger than last
year, and at other leading cities the
increase amounted to IA per cent.
Recovery in the iron and steel in
dustry comes more slowly than was
anticipated, yet there are numerous in
dications of a better tone. CONNER
cial failures this week in the United
States are 222, against 232 last week,
2l4 the preceding week and 222 the
corresponding week last year. Failures
in Canada number 49, against 26 last
week, 27 the preceding week and 33
last year. OF failures this week in the
United States, 72 were in the east, 81
south, 67 west and 26 in the Pacific
states, and 62 report liabilities of s5,-
600 or more. Liabilities of CONNER
cial failures in the United States re-
ported for August to date are $1,697,-
492, against 81 1,59S, 900 in 1904"
