In Memory of Samuel Sowders.

Samuel SOwderS was born Novem-
Der IS, 1927, and Joined the Chris
tian church at Big Reedy, Butler
county, KY, 1849. Married Bertha
Phelps, September 2, 1858. Departed
this life in great peace, February 6,
1907, at $40 o'clock, p. m. To this
union were born Is children, IL of
whom survive him to mourn the loss
of father ever faithful and true,
whose memory clings to their inmost
affections as securely as the great
rock of Gibraltar. o. how we shall
miss him in the old home! We shall
never see his like again. All that
dutiful children could do to make the
evening of life glow with sunshine
and the ills of age less onerous, was
done. Ella, Theo., Mary Belle and
Vienna, the children at home, have
the consoling thought that Pa never
wanted for any thing; while the 9TH
err children, less favorably situated,
never missed a chance to do any thing
that would please Pa. God took him
from us and he is no more of earth,
but in heaven, where God and His
angels are, and with our dear moth
er and friends who have gone before.
Peace to his precious sleeping dust.
Samuel Sowders was a remarkable
man in many respects. He was born
of poor parentage in the hills of Ed
monson county. Ky. At that time
there was nothing to inspire the
youth as to-day. There was in his
breast an innate ambition to achieve
something in life, so in his boyhood
days he began life's battle with no
learning, no wealth, no guide save
his never-failing stock of good COM
mon sense, which he always brought
to bear in life's problems. Like a
ship on the rugged seas without rud-
der or compass, he fought his way
courageously to the last. With an
energy that never faltered under any
untoward circumstances, he braved
lifes storms, made a splendid fight
and won a great victory. He educat-
ed his children in the best schools
of the country, kept them in the best
society, taught them TO love and
serve the God he loved so dearly and
so faithfully served.
He left to his children quite an
estate of worldly goods; however, his
brightest legacy to his children and
friends is the manly christian char
acter which he exemplified in all
the walks of life. He was devoted to
his church and its every interest and
was never happier than when he could
hold sweet converse with his fami-
ly and friends on the subject of relig-
ion His was a beautiful christian
life. He talked freely in his last
days about his change and always
gave the fullest assurance of his
readiness and willingness to depart
and be with Christ.
Our heads are bowed in sorrow
now we feel severely the loss of a
fathers guidance, care and good coun-
Gil, but we sorrow not as those who
have no hope. We expect to meet
our father again in the sweet and
happy home beyond this life.

In her delineation OF Kathie, the

Ruder and waitress at his garden,
Miss Adair gave one OF the most
charming portrayals she has offered
this season. There was a delightful
naivete in her acting, and her love
scenes with the prince were charming
and pathetic because OF the sweet
note of innocence in which she played
them.

Miller Talks of Agreement.

Pittsburg, Sept. 21.-A. D. Miller, Jr., of A. D. Miller & Sons, inde- pendent oil refiners with headquar- ters in this city, admitted last night there was some kind of an agree ment" between the independent deal CTS and the Standard Oil company. He declined, however, to discuss the agreement in detail. When it was called to his attention that Treasurer : Tilford of the Standard Oil company, testifying at New York in the suit of the government for dissolution of the alleged oil combine in New Jersey admitted yesterday that in 1902 an agreement was entered into by which the independent dealers were to sell their entire output of oil refined for export to the Standard, which, in return was to sell to the independ- ents certain amount of crude oil each day, MT Miller replied: "Tilford ought to know" sj

CUTTING RATES
First Cabin Reduced From $95
 10 $7O-War Now On.

New York, Sept 21.-With an an- nouncement made by the North Ger man Lloyd to-day of practically a horizontal cut of $25 on both east and west bound business, an ocean steam ship rate war has developed to-day that may involve not only first but second and third class departments. The North German Lloyd's cut on west-bound business will go into ef- feet Nov l, when the heavy summer travel has ceased. On the fast ex- press steamers to Bremen tine Lloyd has cut the minimum first cabin rate from $95 to $7O, and on the twin screw service to Bremen the rate has been reduced from $70 to $50.
 The conflict over rates, according to Gustave H. Schwab, manager of the North German Lloyd in America, was brought about by the advent of the Lusitania, of the Cunard line. MT Schwab said: a"~Gsa%
 Ever since the steamer business began the rates of passages have been fixed according to the speed and size of the steamers, the fastest taking the highest rate, and giving the so-called differential to slower steamers. Now comes the Cunard line with steamers universally stated to be the fastest in the world, in addition to being the largest, and yet the Cunard line has fixed it's rates below those of the North German Lloyd and the Ham, burg American lines, thus destroying the tacit understanding as to passen- ger rates among steamship lines"

Three More Applications Filed
 With Court Clerk To-Day.

More divorce suits were filed with the clerk of the superior court to- day, and, singularly enough the basis of one is the basis of all, thus the story of the one is the story of the three excepting the names and places.
 George J. Signor alleges Charles Roswell was the cause of breaking up his home. Signor and Grace Cor den were married on July 1, 1897, Roswell is said to live in Oxford.
 On January 26, 1896, Robert L.. Futile and Nettie Morgan both of Oxford, married. Egbert c. Wheeler of Oxford is named correspondent. On May 16, 1904, Mrs Futile desert ed her husband. The custody of four minor children whose ages run from 4 years to II is involved.
 Belfast, Ireland, is the scene of action in the divorce suit of McIn- tyre Lilly against his wife, who was Margaret Mitchell. Lilly lives in Naugatuck and Mrs Lilly is supposed to be living in Belfast with one John Mitchell, and it is alleged that one child has been born to them. The fatter has two other children. The couple were married in April. 1889, and a few years ago, it is said, Mrs Lilly went back to Ireland and took up with Mitchell. All of these cases are returnable to tine superior court in October.

THE KING IS 54
And Everybody is Dining and Whining at Expense of the
 Ruler of Siam
WILL COST $25O,OOO

Homburg, Germany, Sept. 21.- King Chulalongkorn of Siam, who was born Sept. 21, 1853, to-day in vited all Homburg to join him in celebrating his birthday. Champagne and other wines were served at the Kurhaus (casino' without limit, it being arranged that each person who paid trifing fee should become temporarily member of the Kur- haus and be entitled to three bottles of wine, one each of champagne and <, hite and red wine, while in the grounds of the Kurhaus free beer was distributed to all corners. The king decreed that this celebration should continue at his expense for three days. He is also distributing large sums of money to the poor, and tonight will give banquet to six hundred persons who come from all parts of Germany.
 The people of Homburg are joining in the spirit of the kings hospitality. His majesty's portrait is in every shop window and houses are deocrat- ed with the Siamese flag, and an im- mense quantity of fireworks will be burned tonight at the expense of the municipality of Homburg. -..

 T intend to enter into this cam. paign," said the jurist, with all the earnestness there is in me and to make as strong fight for right and my, par ty as possibly can. I shall go through the state and meet the people fairly face to face. I shall be frank on each and every one of the issues and will meet all propositions as they are brought before me. I shall have no secrets to hide from any one, and every citizen of the state will know just where I stand and how I stand on each issue. I fear absolutely no ques- tion or issue.

Fanatics of Zion City Accused of Kill. ing Invalid to Drive Demons Away.

ing Invalid to Drive Demons Away.
 Chicago, Sept. 21. - Mrs. Lecitia Greenbaugh, sixty-four years old, a follower of the Parhamite sect at Zion City, was tortured to death by five other believers in the same religion in their effort to cure her of rheumatism. The story told by the son, Walter Greenbaugh, at the inquest follows:
 "Wednesday morning MT. and Mrs. Mitchell came to our home. They told me that they. had had a vision in (which God had told them to come to my mother and help me cast out the demons. It is our belief that when one is sick it is because of the demons which beset you. He said we must start work at once. -#
 ''We went into mothers room and told her that the ceremony was to be- gin. Mitchell took her by one hand and pulled it away from her body. She screamed terribly. Mitchell put his hand over my mothers mouth and choked off her cries. It is the devi: leaving her. he said. Then he stepped back and made some strange motions like hypnotist. Mother moaned. Then Mitchell and his wife went to work again. They took her arms and pulled them out straight. There was a crack ing sound. I found out afterward they broke the bones. They did the same with her legs. They pulled at her head. She groaned and cried out. That said Mitchell, was the demons leaving the body
 "FinaRy mother fell back, and there was no more struggling. She is sleep ing now.' they said. She will arise at supper time.' Then we went out of the room and waited. She didn't come out. and finally we all went into the room and discovered that mother was dead"
