Louisville, July 23.-Col. Will & Hays, the veteran editor of the Courier Journal, song writer and poet. died at his home here today of vertigo caused by stroke of paralysis, suffered in the Iroquois theater fire In Chicago. He was seventy years old.
 Colonel Hays has always claimed the authorship of the original words of pix ie" and that he was responsible for the arrangement of the music. His version of Dixie was written at the outbreal< X of the Civil war but the words were cou- sidered seditious that the writer was arrested and compelled to change them By that time it is said, Dan Emmett. the minstrel had written his song and his publisher had it copyrighted.
 Colonel Hays most famous song was Molly Darling" the sales of which reached 2,000,000 copies in Europe and America. Among his other songs were Keep In De Middle of De Road" 'The Old Log Cabin in the Lane" and Signal Bells at Sea-

 When Senonin's successor was appoint ed the former had just mailed check for $15,0O0 to the tate auditors office for the month of June. Payment on this was refused by the bank on which 1t was drawn and Mr. Scmonin declared publicly that he had stopped payment when he found he was not to be retained i'll office, his idea being to have all accounts check ed up and to settle in full with the state on his retirement.

RIOTING AFTER
 THE HAU TRIAL Counsel Will Appeal Case to
 Higher Court
WINDOWS ARE DEMOLISHED
Manifestation of Popular Anger Is Made Toward the Molitor Women, Who Escape In Carriages
 to the Train.

Karlsruhe, Germany, July 23.-The eX- citement over the Hau case is subsid- ing. The people, however, continue to crowd the newspaper offices 10 buy pam phlets issued by the papers which con- tain a full report of the proceedings Newspapers throughout the country have begun a lively discussion of the singular features of the case, which is regarded as one of the most remarkable murder cases of half a century.
 The rioting last night subsided as soon as the crowd had been driven from the vicinity of the court house to the more remote streets. Those persons who were taken into custody during the disorders were discharged this morning.
 Relatives and friends of Karl Hau, who attended the trial In large numbers, have received the verdict of the court with resignation.
 It did not come to them a surprise in fact. the overwhelming circumstan- tial evidence had led them to expect It. An appeal against the sentence of death to the supreme court will be lodged with the proper authorities in few days.
 The women of the Molitor family, fear ing violence at the hands of the street rabble, remained In one of the rooms of of the court house until 12:30 this after noon awaiting a favorable opportunity to drive to the railroad station. Fourteen policemen in carriages finally came to the rescue and accompanied them to Et- tlingen, the first station south of Karls- rune. where they took a train for Baden Baden
 I the windows in the rooms occupied by Molitor women at one of the hotels here This manifestation of popular anger arises from the conviction of the street rabble that Olga Moltor, a sister of Hau's wife, left her gallant in the lurch by refusing to confirm the story that he returned to the continent to meet her
 Herr Dietz, counsel for Hau, today lodged formal notice of an appeal for re- vision of the courts findings.

wishes to- see this work Of love become

these plans from the place for which
they were intended. particularly as the
reason that they were not developed in
Rome lay in the repeated disasters that
came TO Italy. So much money was
needed for the desolated, suffering peo-
pie that the fund designed for the
temple was diverted to their use. I'm

The, Composite Wonder.
To attain the result Andersen has
achieved in these plans. he. visited and
studied All '.the galleries of -art and
many of the opera houses of Europe:
and, out of the centuries of competition
and experience, he. conceived this ssplen-
did composite. The plan embodies a
double stage, one for grand opera and
the other for symphony concerts or
other big musical expression. The two
stages are back to back and. so ar
ranged that theyscan be thrown into
one when necessary. The auditorium
of the grand opera house has q tremen-
sdous seating capacity: that for the
symphony concerts is proportionateiy
smaller. A circular promenade affords
equal and fitting access to the art gall
.leries which surround the auditoriums,
where permanent exhibitions would be,
placed. Adequate entrances to the
varied interests in the temple from out
side are provided for.
It is true that the magnificences OF
the design for this temple means a

this would be possible on the half block

dream that this. great structure might.

making the association the quite fitting
sponsor for this notable expression of
art in San Francisco. The change in

love sthe new born day of joy and, as

have the genius of Michael Angelo, but

made an instantaneous hit-at its first
production-and still continues to do so.
Mark Z. Swan, the author. conceived
the idea Of writing the play from the
famous character cartoon. appearing
in the great dailies, and confined him
self strictly to the various people or
characters used by the cartoonist. By
combining himself strictly to these, he
produced an unequalled success. There
isn't a dull character in it, and they
all create natural laughter. The plot
is sensible. interesting, and being en-
tirely free Of buffoonery, it is lasting.
The original number one (only) COM
pany comes to Marion Opera House
Monday evening, Jan. 2s, and will
offer Hooligan's Troubles exactly as
has been presented in all the larger
cities for fun lovers. The program
includes twenty-one up-to-date musi-

mess man in Marion to read it carefully
and prayerfully. Marion needs some
thing of the sort. She has one kind of
sand required. Has she got the other
kind?
"Just one little effort and then the
end is accomplished. The Commercial
Club has come to the final rally for the
SIS, 600 bonus for the glass plant. There
yet remains only 81, $50 to be raised.
Those who have given, have given gen.
erously and promptly, but the last thou
and dollars is harder to raise than all
the thirteen odd thousand that preced-
ed it. Committeeman are devoting
hours from their business to raising
this money, and it seems wrong that
they should be compelled to worry it
out of the business men. The commit
teemen first subscribed to the fund and
then carried the paper around to others.
1t is as little as the others could do. to
write their names down voluntarily.
The glass plant will throw SO, 500 week
ly into the retain trade channels. Every
man in Paducah will realize some bene-
fit from the increased wealth and the
increased population. Owensboro which
once had glass plant, experienced no
whatsoever in raising bonus

know the value of it. Other cities not
so fortunately located as Paducah,

Rhode Island Red Hens

Respectfully referred to DR.. J. O.
Dixon, John A. Moore and Levi Cook
for their approval or disapproval and
perusal:
January /, 1907, marked the close
Of series of experiments extending
over period of two years with 100
Rhode Island Red hens. Rhode Island
Reds are a comparatively new chicken
having only been admitted to the
STANDARD" by the American Poultry
Association in February, 1904, but as a
result of the experiments conducted at
this station We have no hesitation in
saying that they have more good prac-
teal points combined with fewer under
sirable qualities than any other chicken.
They are broilers at seven weeks, frlers
at nine weeks, layers at twenty weeks.
When full grown Rhode Island Red
hens weigh seven TO nine pounds each
and cocks nine to thirteen pounds. They
are big red birds with brown beaks,
red eyes and smooth yellow legs. The
males are rich cherry red and the fe-
males a lighter shade of red. They
nave the laying qualities of the Leg
horn, the vitality of the Malay Game
and the heavy coat of feathers peculiar
to the Cochin, but with bare legs.
Their color does not show soil and
they are a desirable table fowl at any
age, having oblong bodies, wide, deep.
full plump breasts and yellow skin.
They mature early. are very hardy and
will stand severe winters and continue
laying. They are good hustlers and
bug hunters and so require less feed
than common chickens. Tney lay big
brown eggs, are enthusiastic settlers
and excellent mothers, although at
the same time they can be easily brok-
en- from setting. They are free from
disease and with their wonderful laying
qualities, especially in the winter. are
the ideal farmers fowl.
The census statistics Of 1900 show the
average yield per hen throughout the
United States is only l2O eggs annually.
The experiments at this station have
shown conelusively that Rhode Island
Reds can be depended on to lay from
100 to 2l0 eggs per hen. and as they
cost less than ordinary chickens to
it would seem to be logical
conclusion that Kentucky poultry rails
els would do sell TO devote their atten-
ton to this wonderful new chicken. A
small folder accurately describing
Rhode Island Reds and giving such use
full advice as to raising. housing. feed
ing and mating chickens will be sent

Whenever the resolutions in regard

so decided. and they could not act
otherwise and be consistent. Yet we

TO US It looks something like this. In
