WAS 1T MURDER2
1he Tragic Death of a Lexington Man is
Revived by two Arrests.

Lexington Progress
1t will be remembered by our
readers that Reuben III. Ward,
then a citizen of Lexington, was
put across the Tennessee River at
Perryville on the night of Novem-
Der Is, 1906, by William Rogers,
a young white man, and a negro
named Scott. Rogers aided Ward,
who was intoxicated, part the way
up the east bank of the river, and
from that time until December 8,
when the unfortunate mans body
was found below Johnsonville, his
fate was but a matter OF conjecture.
Suspicion, however, pointed to
Charlie Ledbetter, as there was
said to be enmity existing between
him and Ward.
When Wards body was discov-
cred and brought to Perryville, an
examination was made by Drs. l..
" Frazier and S. A. Mcdonald, and
there were rumors of that exami-
nation showing evidences of Ward
having been murdered.
Recently it was developed that
a boy named Lonny Down, who
lived with Ledbetter and had left
for parts unknown, knew some
thing of the matter, and when he
was located at Cumberland City
he was arrested by deputy sheriff
and brought to Linden.
On May Is q warrant for Led
better's arrest was issued and later
was served upon him at his home
at East Perryville. Thursday Of
last week the preliminary trial Of
Ledbetter was begun in Linden
before Justices Thin, Curl, and
Hinson and was concluded Friday.
We are informed that Down tes-
titles that Ledbetter killed Ward
and forced him by threats to help
throw the body into the river.
Ledbetter was jailed without bail
to await the next session of circuit
court at Linden.

LOOKS LIKE A RUNAWAY.

Ii reports are true, Birdsong
society was somewhat shocked
when it learned that Mrs, Elmer
Baggett of Birdsong and Ollie
Hatley were reported to have left
together. 1t is said that Mr.. Hat
ley and Mrs. Baggett arrived here
early Wednesday morning and left
on the Dixie Flyer. Mrs. Baggett
was seen later on the west bound
mail train when it passes here a
few hours later. Mr. Hatley was
not seen on the returning train
with Mrs. Baggett, but the idea
seems to prevail that he was, and
that their destination is Arkansas.
In all probability they were afraid
of being followed, and took the
first train that passed after they
arrived here, went to Johnsonville
or Waverly, and took the next train
going west. We give the story
for what it is worth.
Mrs. Baggett, who is a mere
child, we understand, is daught-
er of John Lewis of Birdsong.
She was married to Elmer Baggett
a few months ago, but they lived
together only short time and
then separated.

Homemade Catdrrh Cure.

Any one can mix right al home
the best remedy of its kind known
The name Cyclone is given to
the 70 lowirg prescription, it is
supposed, because of its prompt
ness in driving from the blood and
system every vestige of catarrhal
poison, relieving this foul and
dread disease, no matter where To-
Gated. To prepare the mixture ::
Get from any good pharmacy one
half ounce Fluid Extract Dande1ion,
one ounce Compound Kargon and
three ounces Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla. Shake well and use in
tcaspoonful doses after each meal
and at bedtime.
This is harmless, inexpensive
mixture, which has peculiar
action upon the climinativc tissues
of the kidneys, assisting them to
filter and strain from the blood and
system all catarrhal poisons, which,
if not cradiCatcd, are absOr bed by
the mucous membrane, and an open
sore or catarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it is
the prescription of an eminent ca
tarrh specialist of national reputa-
toin.

tIFTtEN CHILDREN IN
ONE IDAHO FAMILY

Announcement has been received
of the birth of Miss TEelma Wallis,
the fifteenth child of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Wallis of Rexburg, Fremont
county, this state.
So far as known, this is the lerg-
est family in the state-and some
other states might be included in
the list also. 1t is purely Idaho
family, too, for they have lived
here for IS years. Mr.. Wallis is a
newspaper publisher, and perhaps
the oldest in the state, or rather
hes the record for the longest con-
tinuous newspaper service in this
state, for he began the work of en-
Tightening the public through the
columns of the press 25 years age,
first through the Democrat of Paris.
The childr en- have followed more or
less closely in the ancestral line,
for one of the daughters is book
keeper in the office of the Rexburg
Standard which is now edited by
Mr.. Wallis, and most of the
working force of the finely equip
ped office is made up from indus
| trious and capable scions of the
Wallis family.
Colonel Allen Miller, the state
commissioned of immigration, i.
securing the country for few more
families like that of Mr.. and Mrs
Wallis so that the immigration
feature of his office can be Gu
out, and the work be confined t
statistics alone.

in the state, The Statesman will b

Masters Harry Welborn and Win.
ston Caldwell furnished no small
share of the entertainment. 'rhe
latter is a curly headed little fellow
who completely Captured the heart
of the entertainer and everybody else
by his sunniness of disposition and
utter lack of clf-consciousness
The look of establishment on his
face when he would put up his
little hnad to get some article, only
to discover that there was nothing
doing, was worth the price of adj
mission alone.
Senator Weaver was also hypno-
tized into making his debut as a
magician, and judging from the
amount of live poultry, rabbits,
tissue paper, playing cards, and
other paraphenalia which he ap-
peared to have successfully con-
cealed about his person, he has
evidently missed his calling.
The thanks of the community are
due Professor Warner for the season
SO successfully closed, and it is to
be hoped that he may be prevailed
upon to again take up the work
next season.

To Decorate Easter Eggs.

Various methods of egg decora-
ton are practiced in this country.
For blown eggs a small hole may be
made at each end of the eggs and
the contents forced out with the
breath. Rinse clean, draw a mar
row ribbon through double from one
hole to the other, tying in a bow
at the lower end and leaving a
loop or corresponding bow at the
upper end. Decorate the shell in
water colors, tracing small flowers
or ecclesiastical designs. A pretty
effect may be obtained by painting
the rest of the egg shell with gold
or silver paint, bringing out the
colors in greater relief. These
blown egg shells may also be painted
to represent faces Glue a litti

Acting on the principal that the
lawmakers and state officials are
entitled to free transportation when
travelling on public business, the
legislature of New Hampshire has

THE WORLDS REVOLUTIONS.

The history of the world is divi-
dcd into four great revolutions. At
first, the priest ruled by the power
of fear and superstition, by the
threat of earthly or eternal punish
nent, because the fear of the un-
known is greater than the fear of
the known. The mass of the people
knew not, and the priest pretended
to know.
Then came the soldier, who over
threw the power of the priest by
the power of the sword, and ruled
by fear of the sword. He did not
kill the priestly class, but said to
them: BE my retainers, and
pray for me" and the priest took
second place.
Then came the capitalist, who
overthrow the soldier by the power
OF money and rules by the power of
money. He, in turn, said to the
priests BE my retainers, and
pray for me, and 10 the soldier he
said; BE my retainers, and fight
for me- and both the priests and
the soldiers were relegated to the
background, to be used at the beck
of the capitalist.
We are now at the beginning of
the fourth and last revolution, when
man is beginning to say to the
priest: Il will do my own praying,
and nobody shall stand between me
and God; therefore, l do not need
you and your superstitions. - And
to the soldier the man says: ''We
win have peace and cooperation,
instead of war and competition, and
we shall not need you. And tC
the capitalist he says; I'VE will
| all own our own capital in common,
and will use it for the benefit of all
instead of for the profit of few, y
and so passes away the capitalist.
In this last transition stage the
church has not as yet broken with
the capitalist, and is still in the po-
sition of retainer, but it is to be
expected that individuals in the
church will break away in ever
increasing numbers and IN a geo,
metrical progression, and will
range themselves on the side Of
man, and be opposed to the
church until the church sees that
! the days of the capitalist are mum
| bcred.
Then will the church range itself
on the side o. man, because ma
jority of it's Individual members
will be on that side. And mar
will say to the priest, the soldier
and the capitalist: 1--WE will sinh
all superstition, all war, all ex
ploitation and all feelings of re

The taxpayers election which will take place Monday for the purpose of advising the city council with reference to the proposed purchase of the North west Light & Power Company--it is really purchase on the Instsllment plan, notwithstanding that it is set
 forth. as a lease-is the topic of the hour in Skagway, ID is made partlou' arly important because the members Of the council have bound themselves to abide by the verdict of the people as express ed on that day.
 Those who favor the lease are mak- ing an active canvass for support in its behalf They urge that it affords the city the most satisfactory wster supply that is available; that 1t will guarantee the city low water and light rates and 1t will be a money making investment, In support of the latter contention they say that they are assured by the North west Light&POwerCompany that 1t nov
