CITIZENS HOLD A MEETING

Hartford, Ky, March 2G.-The
body Of Miss Prudie Ford. the pretty
college student who committed sui
eide by taking arsenic and jumping
into Rough river here. was found a
few miles below the city.
TWO letters were found on the
river bank where she jumped In the
stream. One was addressed to her
parents and the other to her sweet
heart.
The one to her parents rs as fol-
lows: my dear parents: Today as

told me that Mrs. Collins (her board

"PRUDE."
The letter to her sweetheart was
OF the game tenor. though of differ
ent form,
A remarkable turn was given to
the affairs when II became known
that Mrs. ]. r. Collins had found the
watch which she accused the girl OF
stealing. Mrs. Collins remembered
after she found the watch that she
had placed It in its hiding place her.
self. Some of the money alleged to
have been stolen Is also said to have
been accounted for.
The girls father and mother are
nearly frantic with grief. and 1t is
said that the feeling is very high
among the friends of the dead girl
since Il became known that the watch
which she was accused OF stealing
had been found.
a mass meeting OF citizens was
held here at which the circumstances
were reviewed and resolutions were
adopted expressive of sorrow for the
tragedy and affirming the general be-
lief OF the innocence OF the dead girl
of any theft. Few people believed in
the charges when they heard them as
Miss Ford had borne an excellent
reputation in and out OF school, and
when II was announced that Mrs.
Collins had found a par. at least of
the things that were alleged to be
stolen there was a general certainty
that nothing had been stalen at all.
The gsreral expression IS that the
poor, sensitive girl was driven to her
death most unjustly, and there the
matter will rest.

 Oh We know not the sorrow experienced by the sad mother, when first she received the news of her only son death
 It is so sad 10 see him taken in the bloom of life, and without one minutes warning. How hard it is when We stand by and see our loved ones taken; but when one is snatched from Us so suddenly and unexpectedly it seems almost uu- bearabIe But God has promised to send nothing upon us we can not bear.
 We know that death IS sure. but how, when and where. We know not.
 Oh could we all only realize how very necessary t Is 10 prepare ourselves for the life tha, is to come. for death may come to us in like manner-withour warning.
 Fond mother and sister. we ex. tend to you our w4rmest sympa- thy in this. your time of great trouble. Let us, in faithful pray CT. take our troubles 10 the Savior. He will help us 10 bear them f on ly we ask Him in earnest prayer
 Robert was born Nov. ,sth. 1881. He was reared near Lacey. where he leaves relatives and host of friends to mourn his death.
 His remains were carried 10 the Ephesus Cemetery for burial.

The Tarif and Cost of Living.

II IS impossible for the Repuhli- cans 10 disguise the fact that the "trusi era is synchronous with the present tariff law. which so lavishly projects those special interests at the expense of the American people. No one has ever heard of our manufacturers selling their products abroad cheaper than at home until the tariff was increased beyond the high rates of the Mckinley bill. to purposely protect the manutae- turers from foreign competition. There were some trusts before 1897, but they were feeble infants compared to those vast combines that now control our markets. There are now I6S trusts that enjoy direct tariff benefit, and there are 3S other trusts that bene- fit te some extent. To these giant corporations must be attributed the enormous increase in prices through the protection granted them in the tariff law. SO that the cost of living. according to the Dunn's Index figures. which are published in the United States Statistical Abstract, 1908, page 54r. shows that in July, 1897, the necessary articles consumed on the average by each individual cost g., 10. whereas on January I, 1908. those figures had increased to sIo4.45 and are now sIo6 or 47 per cent higher than in 1897. Thus it now takes Si47 to buy what ST in 1897. And yet Presi. dent Roosevelt and the Republi- ctns leaders stand pat and propose If they have Il majority of the next Congress to continue to stand pat. FIX.

From every part of the land comes the information that all the High Schools and Colleges are crowded to over-tlowing with pupils.
