OVERLAND MARCH
FOR STATE MILITIA
Kentucky Soldiers viii Take Part in Man.
euvers in Indiana this Summer.

South Bend, Ind, March 81
Semi-official information has
reached South Bend officers of
the Indiana National Guard that
orders will be issued in few
days by the War Department to
prepare for mobilization of Fed
eral troops and National Guards
men during the coming summer.
Camp will be established at Fort
Benjamin Harrison, two miles
northeast of Lawrence, this State.
The camp will represent the
Department of the Lake, with
Brig. Gen. Funston in command.
The Department includes Wis
consin, Illinois, Michigan, Indi-
ana, Ohio and Kentucky. The
National Guardsmen of these
States will join the regulars of
the Department at camp.
The tentative plan is that the
National Guard of the States
shall come and go, that is one
State will have its militia with
regulars two or three weeks and
then the militia of another State
will come in for like stay. The
regulars at all posts and bar
racks within the geographical
limits of the Department of the
Lakes will be assembled at In
dianapolis' 1t is proposed to
bring them into camp about the
middle of May or the first of
June aud keep them there three
months. Every command of
regulars within the limit of the
Department will be marched to
Fort Benjamin Harrison, and it.
is also proposed that the Ma
tional Guards Of the States
within the boundaries of the
Department shall come overland
to the great camp.

RAILROAD WORK TO BEGIN SOON
Line from Central City to EsrIes. Grad
ing Promised this Month.

Col. w. L. Gordon, while here
Tuesday, said that the Midland
railroad, from Central City to
Earles, would begin grading
within the next few days. His
information, he said, was that
rails would be received at Cen
tral City in a very short while
and that they would be laid as
soon as grading got we'll under
way. The energy of the con-
tractors will be first directed to
tunnelling a hill some seven
miles out of Central City, which
is perhaps the most difficult part
of the work. Col. Gordon thinks
the road Will be built without de-
lay and later extended to Madi-
sonville.
The other proposition TO con-
struct a railroad from Dawson
Springs to Madisonville seems to
be in a quiescent state just now,
but there are those who believe
this line will also be constructed
at some futre time.
And then the knowing ones
say, "if we get all this additional
coal territory opened up and de-
veloped, where will we send the
coal?o The answer made by gen.
tlemen was, "maybe sometime
we'll send it through the Panama
Canal, but to what point beyond
you'll have to ask some one
else.'' The question of proba-
BILE markets enters into all seri-
Gus discussion Of these things.

ANOTHER CONFESSION.
Sub,tantiates the Orchard Confession in
Steunenberg Murder Case.

Boise, Ida, March 3.--The
Statesman says:
"We are authorized to announ-
ce that Steve Adams, arrested
at Haines, Ore, on February 20,
in connection with the Steunen-
berg assassination, has made a
full and sweeping confession.
"This second confession is far
more important than that made
by Harry Orchard. This state
ment was made by James Nc
Pearland, the detective, last
evening in the presence Of Gov.
Gooding and }. ii. Hawley, who
is In charge of the prosecution.
"Mr. Mcfarland added that
Adams confession is fully and
exactly corroborated by that of
Orchard in every point touched
on by both.
Moreover, McPharland con-
tined, Adams knows far more Of
the workings of the inner circle
than Orchard did, and was able
to give a mass of detailed infor-
nation that Orchards confession
did not cover. The confession
of Adams, he said, corroborated
that given by Orchard in every
substantial point connected with
the assassination of Gov. Steun-
enberg. Adams, however, was
not at Caldwell at the time of the
assassination, nor was Orchard
at. the time of the unsuccessful
effort in November. The man
who assisted Orchard on that lat
ter occasion, as set forth in
Orchards confession, was Jack
Simpkins.

Bark vs.. Nortonville Coal Co.,
Cleveland Sisk VS.. Daniel Boone

cases pending on the equity
docket and commissioners re-
ports filed and deeds made.
Various accounts against the
Commonwealth were allowed Of
ficers for services under felonious
prosecutions.
A large number of divorces
were granted at this term of

years there was no disagreement
of the jury In any case, and this
is the more remarkable consider

tried.
The docket has been cleared
of a great many cases of long
standing and it is probable that
the business of the court will be
in much better shape at the next
term.
The trustee of the jury fund
filed reports of fines and forfeit
ures and settlements with the
jurors and after the usual form
alities Court was adjourned.

Not Judge j. F. Gordon, who
Sits on the bench in the Hop

ing, so far as he was Concerned,
that the hanging Of Garth
Thompkins, colored, convicted
of the murder of William Brame
at Mxdisonville Dec. "a, 1908,
should take place right over his
desk in the circuit court room,
if necessary to save the county
expense and at the same time to
come within the requirements of
the law requiring absolute
privacy at hangings.
The matter of public expense
is a thing of such vital and uni
~ersal concern that all public
officials, who are elected by the
people, must think of that first
in every case. Aud sometimes
the looming Of this giant shadow
In the foreground warps the
perspective, temporarily, for the
most level-headed. This mat
ter of "public expense" as gen.
orally viewed by the public, is
excuse for aconversion that took
place between Judge Gordon
and Sheriff Jennings relative to
holding the execution in the
court room. But the story was
sent out broadcast that Judge
Gordon had ordered the hang
ing 70 take place Ia the circuit
court room.

meats to-erect the necessary en-
closure and the seRffold on a

that the hanging w@ald not take
place ia either the circuit .coUxt
rooaa or the,City Hall bailding.
The popular revussaon at Med
isonVille against a hanging &C.
curing in any pubkc bxilding,
it is learned from numerous
sources, has developed the fact
that very many of Madis0nville7s
best ertigens would Mach prefer
that mo hanging occur. They
look upon the ignorance of the
criminal and zee proC@catiOn for

arrangement in good time before

According to reports received
here, Japan is about to begin
another war-but this time it
will be against rats. A visitor
from the Orient gives an ex-
tensive account of the campaign
which is planned for the ex-
termination of these rodents.
While conditions are not like
those in Hamlin town il is
nevertheless decreed that the
rars must 90. Scientists have
long been aware of the evil
which rats work in the way of
propagating contagious diseases,
but it is only recently that they
have realized the extent of this
evil, after Investigations in con-
nection with the bubonic plague.
To rats, far more than to any
other cause, is attributed the
spread of this scourge Of the
East. Not only does Japan
propose to wage active warfare
herself, but il is also her pur-
pose to- enlist other nations in
the common cause Of h1manity.
