Princeton, Ky.,Aug. 26.-Traffic over

ANNUAL Meeting Of
THE Ohio COUNTY FAIR
Grounds Being Cleaned up. Track

for Occasion.

The annual meeting of the Ohio
County Fair will be held this year at
an earlier and more appropriate date
than for many years. This fact of it
self will no doubt add much to the sue
cess OF the meet, as stockmen, race
horsemen and all fair exhibitors will
still have their stock in excellent trim
when the Ohio County Fair is held.
Heretofore the fair has often been
held late and at late dates stock is
considerably run down as compared to
what it is at the beginning. Notwith-
standing this however excellent stock
has always come TO Ohio county Fairs.
Another reason why this should be a

because there is no conflicting date
near here.

sudden Death
OF 6. B. smith
Man of Splendid Qualities and
Prominent In Pol
iticS.

George b., Familiarity known as
Clear Run, last Saturday night after
an illness of only few days. He was
in Hartford on Wednesday, but had
been having malaria. He sent for a
physician Saturday, DR.. Taylor re-
sponded and succeeded in getting him
comfortable. He had some symptoms
of appendicitis, but it had not devel-
oped fully. About 9 o'clock Saturday
night he grew suddenly worse and
passed away, surrounded by his fam
lily.
His remains were laid to rest Sun
day afternoon at Union Grove, the
services being conducted by the Mon
ern Woodmen of the World, under d.
rection of Clear Run lodge. Mr.. Smith
was prominent in Republican politics
having made the race for Jailer before
the Republican Convention a few
years ago, and was defeated by Oscar
Midkiff by only two votes. He would
have been q candidate for Sheriff at
the next election for county offices.
His many friends were greatly shocked
by his untimely death.
Mr.. Smith was one of the very best
citizens of our county and his death
is a severe loss to his community. He
leaves a wife and several children TO
mourn his loss.

MONEY FOR
STATE MILITIA.
United States Government
Asked tO'Pay Half Wages
While Not In Active Service to
Hold up Standing of The
Army.

dispatch from Lexington 10 the
Courier-Journal contain the follow
ing, which will be of intense inter-
est to all State Guards:
Secretary of War William H. Taft,
while in this city last week, went over
with Brig. Gen. Roger d. Williams, of
this city, commanding officer of the
Kentucky State Guard the details of a
bill for organizing the National Guard
which Secretary Taft will prepare to
offer to Congress at its next session.
By the terms of the bill, which has
the support of President Roosevelt
and will undoubtedly become a law,
the National Guard will be united more
closely TO the regular United States
Army to which it will form a National
reserve force. The officers and men
will be placed on half pay when not
in active service, and officers of the
regular army will have direct super
vision and authority.
The present effective force of the
National Guard is about 300 900 men,
but as the offer of half pay when not
in service will be an attractive in
ducement, no difficulty is anticipated
in increasing this force 10 10000.
This would enable the Government in
case of war TO place Immediately in the
field an army of half a million sol
diers thoroughly trained and equipped
for war. The officers in direct COM
mand of this reserve would be COM
missioned as now by the Governors
of the States to which the different
organizations belong, but they will
be paid and equipped by the Nation
al Government, and will be drilled
and organized under the direction of
regular army officers to whose or
ders they will be subject when the
national exigencies require.
1t is not intended to abolish the
small regular army as it now exists,
but on account of the small pay of
the regular soldiers, it becomes each
year more difficult to secure recruits,
and it is feared that it will soon be-
come impossible to keep the regular
army up to even its small quota, if
indeed, it does not altogether melt
away. At present there are two dis
charges for one new enlistment, and
it may be that the National reserve
will eventually be called upon TO per-
form practically all of the srevice re-
quired of the regular army, although
with the large number available these
duties would not require large part
of their time.
The Dick law under which the
present National guard is organized,
expires on January 1, and it will
therefore be necessary to pass a new
law, and Secretary Taft's bill will
be offered to this purpose.

WANT UNCLE SAM 70 bic
Settlers Think Government Should
Provide Artesian Wells.

s,
the homesteaders west of the Mis-.
souri, river think they are entitled to
a portion of the money they nay for
final proofs in return in the way Of a
fund for sinking an artesian we'll in
every township of that section and for
the establishment of storage dams on
the land of the individuals, all to he
located by competent engineers pro-
vided by the government for that pur-
pose:
They cite the appropriation OF pub
lie money for irrigation work on the
part OF the general government as a
foundation for their action. They APP
parently overlook the fact that the
cost of placing such systems is added
to the cost of the land within the dis
trict which 1t covers.
While 1t would be good thing for
the state to secure this aid, it is hard
ly likely that the present congress
will grant 1t unless the law carries
with it some such provision for the
payment. And if that is to be added
the settlers could get much quicker
action by proceeding under the exist
Ing state laws, which will allow them
to bond their townships for artesian
wells, and put in their own storage
dams, and as long as they would
have to do it at their own expense,
they could get what they want at once
instead of waiting a long time for it.

Remarkable Case Comes to Light at

Remarkable Case Comes to Light at
Aberdeen.
A remarkable case of a dream re-
yealing the whereabouts of lost wealth
came to light in Aberdeen when
Charles Cassie visited a local bank
with bunch Of soiled savings bank
certificates and told the story of how
he had recovered $1,055 he lost about
three months ago.
Cassie is a Scot and industrious.
For long time he had been saving
up his money with the object of taking
trip to Scotland. Last August he
went to work digging trenches for a
local firm of contractors engaged in
installing storm sewer One day he
missed his pocketbook containing the
bank certificates and $40 in currency.
He reported the matter to the police
and an investigation was conducted
but without success. Cassie went to
bed tired out and dreamed of his loss.
Later he wandered in the spiritland to
a point OF the Milwaukee freight
house, where he dreamed he found his
pocketbook.
In the morning he recalled every de-
tail of the dream and proceeded to In
yestigate. He went to the spot he
visited in his dream and began kick
ing away the dirt in one of the
trenches. In few minutes he kicked
his pocketbook and, opening it, found
the contents intact He left at once
for Scotland, where he will winter.

CATTLE SHIPPING HEAVY.
Season 10 Particularly and Unexpect-
edly Heavy.

Season 10 Particularly and Unexpect-
eddy Heavy.
Cattle shipments from Belle Fourche
for the season of 1907 are practically
over. Contrary to expectations, the
season has been particularly success
full, Notwithstanding the drop in the
price of cattle, which came with the
first approach of money stringency
and curtailed shipments.
According to the estimates OF both
the Northwestern railroad and cat
tlemen something like $4,000 head of
stock were shipped from this point
this year. Belle Fourche always had
the reputation Of being the largest
single cattle shipping point in the
world, but records of other localities
probably will equal it this year. In
all, about 1900 cars of cattle, sheep
and horses were sent from here to
Eastern markets, the majority being
cattle for beef purposes, and most OF
it going to Omaha and Chicago, where
in former years Sioux City got large
share.
Returns show that previous to the
slump on the market, steers this year
brought from SIS to $40 per head net
over last years prices and resulted in
many more cattle being shipped than
was expected. There are still more
cattle on the range this winter than
last year, and these will be ready for
shipment in 1908.
