fade to a dirty brown tint, and there
after fall rapidly. The tree is subject to
the devastation Of caterpillars and other
pests. A new and very offensive variety
of pest has taking a liking to this tree
of late appearing in great numbers on the
limbs, where they remain firmly attached
for long period Of time, besmearing the
sidewalks in an unsightly manner with
their eXudations.
One great drawback to the proper treat
ment of the trees is the smallness Of the
annual appropriation for the purpose. Con-
gress ought to be more liberal in its APP
preparations Of money for tree culture and
care. The amount provided for the pur-
pose is entirely inadequate. The ninety
thousand shade trees on our streets re-
quire constant and intelligent attention.
but the amount of money available is not
sufficient to secure the services of men Of
the required knowledge and training. Mr..
Freeman Lanham, who has special charge
of the trees, Is himself thoroughly COM
petent in his position. being the right man
for the place, but that some Of his subor-
dnates are woefully lacking in necessary
expert knowledge Of trees and their cul-
ture is quite noticeable In the trimming
and shaping of the young trees there is
great room for the exercise of intelligent
discretion, but it is painfully apparent
that good judgment to say the least, is
not evidenced in some of the work Of the

Missionary Hens.
From the Philadelphia Record.

Down In Maryland lives John Herman,
an energetic Methodist Church worker who
has organized the chickens In the neighbor-
hood of his church, near Sykevllle, into a
missionary society to raise fund to aid the
church. Each hes is lay member, so to
speak, and the faEners of the neighborhood
agree to turn over to the church each and
every egg that their hens lay on Sundays
and only those laid on that day These eggs
are to be taken to the church each Sunday
afternoon at the Epworth League meeting
and placed in a basket. The eggs will be
stamped with the date of laying, and will on
the following day be brought by Mr.. Her
man to Baltimore. He has agreed to realize
cents on each egg, no matter what may
be the market price.

A Famous Newspaper Man

William E. Curtis, the famous cor
respondent of The Chicago Record
Herald, writes two-column letter
for his paper every day in the year
without intermission. His powers
of sustained work are as great q
marvel as his faculty Of always max
ing his matter interesting.
Probably no other newspaper cor
respondent in the country is read SO
regularly and eagerly by SO many
thousands of men and women as Mr..
Curtis. Mr.. Curtis has travelled sew
eral times around the world, visited
every country under the sun, and
written a larger number of brilliant
and interesting letters of travel than
were ever before produced by sin
gle hand. Many Of these have later
been reprinted in book form. One
of his latest expeditions for The Rec
ord-Herald was through Mexico, re-
sulting in a series of letters as enter
tanning as those he wrote a few years
ago from India, Turkey andIthe Holy
Land. His Forthcoming letters from
ireland, Russia and Germany will
rival in Importance and interest any
Fof his previous contributions.
Beginning his career in Chicago
as reporter in 1879, Mr.. Curtis
rapidly rose to be managing editor
He resigned that position to accept
| a government appointment as Sec
retary Of the South American COM
mission. So brilliantly did he per
form the duties of this Office that
James G.. Blaine, Secretary of State,
placed him at the head of the Bureau
of American Republics. At the
worlds fair in Chicago he distin-
guished himself as the executive
head of the Latin American depart
ment. He is a member of almos
every learned society in Washington
and of many in Europe. 1t is MOI
strange that The Reeord-Heralt
prints Mr.. Curtis letter every day
in the first column Of the front page
and that nothing but California
earthquake can displace it from tha
station of honor.

cAsEY's TROUBLES.

Mayor Meacham still declares ht
will huddle the soil doves" in The
city, notwithstanding the protests Of
the moral element and the sol
doves" themselves. Independent.
There is not one word of truth ir
this statement.
The ''Soil Dove" ordinance was
passed and they flew the coop. They
just moved across the railroad track.
Independent.
In view of the fact that legal pos
session will not be obtained Of the
cemetery addition until June and
the occupants have not yet moved,
the lack of truth in this declaration
is apparent to all.
DR.. Harrison, DR.. Lyon, and other
preachers of the city protested
against the passing of the 'soil
dove" ordinance, yet without notice
or hearing it was passed .-Independ-
ent.
Not word of protest or criticism
has come from these gentlemen or
any other good citizen on account Of
the action taken in the interest of
public morals and out of respect to
the memory of the dead. So far as
known. there is but one "knocker"
in the whole city.
The city has S1,7OO of worthless
property on its hands and the soil
doves" are still at large. -Independ-
ent.
The property acquired sold re-
Gently at 81, 400, and the houses alone
were insured for more than 81, ZOO.
The inmates will doubtless remain
near the city while they have so val
liant a champion to protest against
their suppression.
The city paid 81. 700 for two small
lots, while gentleman bought 40
acres adjoining the same property
for $500. independent.
The city bought two acres of rail-
road frontage, improved property
but not town lots" A tract Of
eight acres adjoining it is for sale at
5000, but has not been sold. Under
the new ordinance, it cannot be used
for immoral purposes when brought
into the city, hence it is now on the
market.

A. S. of E..

The A. S. Of E. farmers will meet
in Hopkinsville Saturday. Every
farmer is expected to take part in
this meeting. The wheat harvest is
close at hand.
This society has organizers in every
section. Fifty-fve appointments
have just been filled in the Dakotas,
and strong local force is still at
work. This society will order big
strike in July, sending one or two
million extra copies of their official
paper in three different languages to
wheat, corn and potato growers.
The present visible supply of crops
is the disturbing element of wheat.
There are about $4,000, 600 bushels.
AS there are about 1000, 600 farms
on which wheat is raised it would
have required an average control of
twenty-four bushels per farm to have
entirely prevented any visible sup
ply. But since the fair price can be
maintained, with some visible sup
ply-say 20, 900, 900 bushels 1t would
have required an average control OF
fourteen bushels per farm. No class
of people but farmers refuse to take
care of their surplus. There are
bound to come the lean years. whC
then will have the surplus?

FATHER TO THE RESCUE.
Assailant Struck With a Rail
and His Condition Is
Very Serious.

Bob Simms was lodged in Jail here
Tuesday afternoon, charged with
attempted rape upon the person of
the ten-year old daughter of Dudley
Billingsly. The parties are colored
and live on Mr.. j. P. Nuckols' farm
near Church Hill. The girl, after
milking the cows, drove them to the
pasture, and was attacked in the
woods near by. Her father, who
was blowing in field a few hundred
yards away, heard her screams, and
ran to her rescue. He knocked
Simms down with rock and then
hit him several times with fence
rail. Thinking that he had killed
him, Billingsly went to the residence
of Mr.. John Knight and reported
the affair. Accompanied by Nj.
Knight. he returned to the scene,
but found Simms alive. BY this
time Mr.. Nuckols had also arrived.
When Billingsly found that Simms
was not dead, it was with great diff
Guilty that he was prevented from
cutting the formers throat. Simms
was tied and was then placed in a
vehicle and brought to this city and
placed in Jail. Simms is 55 years
old and had been living with his
brother for some time. He has
never been considered very bright.
His condition is serious and his re-
covery is very doubtful. The child
is not thought to be badly hurt.
Billingsly is a cropper on Mr..
Nuckols' farm. Simms had been
living on the farm for many years.

ties are given Patterson he will be

There seems to be a strong desire
to have the State ticket for 1907
nominated at the November election
this year in a primary election. II
seems to be generally agreed upon
that the method adopted three years
ago, be again followed this time and
the plan is to get all the contests
settled during the present summer,
in order that winter canvass may
be avoided and plenty of time be
given for organizing against the Re-
publicans. The State Executive
committee will soon be called to-
gether and it is almost a foregone
conclusion that a primary election
will be called for November 6, to
settle all contests within the party,
including the nomination of a
United States Senator. There are
as vet but few candidates announced
for any Of the Offices and if the
primary is called for five months
hence there will probably be some
lively politics on hand within the
next few weeks. Interest will cen
ter largely around the contest for
Senator between Senator James B.
McCreary and Gov. J. c. w. Beck

will be the administration candi-
didate" for Governor, is at present
