He declared that he would begin a
policy next year to reach these citi-
zens, of requiring the six days work
on the roads provided by statute for
delinquent tax payers. Judge Light
foot said saducah pays nine-tenths
of the taxes for roads in the county
and that complaint was never heard
fr-m the city. He closed his speech
with the statement that to Mr.. K. b
Johnson, county road supervisor. be-
longed the credit of good roads in

Hon. j. +. Merry.
Hon. ]. F. Merry in his speech on
diversified farming, gave one of the
finest addresses ever heard at a con-
vention or institute in Kentucky.
Commissioner Vreeland will have his
speech included I'm the reports in
order that Kentucky farmers who did
not attend may read it. Mr.. Merry
showed insight into the movements
of population from the old states to
the west and Canada, when he de-
clared that our young men could not
earn a living here because OF our
methods of farming. He said that
Kentucky was as good or better than
any state to which these young men
went, but that the soil here had been
impoverished by not rotating the
crops. some sections having grown
nothing but corn, tobacco and wheat
in hundred years. Diversified farm
ing will rebuild the soil and he gave
instances of farms in Kentucky where
the rotation of crops had made the
owners Weather than a similar
acreage anywhere in the country
would have done. In the far south
alfalfa and truck farming are being
carried on, when formerly it was
thought IL could not be done In Ken
lucky, and thus the adaptability of
Kentucky soil for diversified farming
is shown. Any farmer who could
have heard him read the letters in
his speech from southern farmers,
who have tried diversified farming
would have returned to his home de-
termined to abandon tobacco and
corn as his exclusive crops. There
is vastly more money in growing for
the city markets.
immigration also was handled by
MIR. Merry and he gave instance of the
good results from selected immigra-
ton. Foreign farmers invariably
rotate their crops and for that reason
prosper on soils that the American
farmers would not consider. The Sc
lection of seed is a highly important
part OF successful farming and Mr.. |
Merry said that Kentucky farmers in |
many cases are not growing those
things most adapted to the soil. His
speech of an hour brought out hearty
applause.

Oklahoma City Men AFTER Rock Is

Oklahoma City Okla, Jan "A
petition signed by every coal dealer,
grain man, cotton dealer, -four ship
per and lumberman in Oklahoma City
was last night sent 70 President
Roosevelt asking that the interstate
commerce commission appoint a re-
ceiver for the Rock Island railway,
and alleging that on account OF the
systems poor facilities for handling
both freight and passenger traffic
trade conditions suffered to an intol-
erable extent
This action on the part Of the deal
ers mentioned follows investigations
". Getterman, a special agent On
account OF the poor transportation
facilities, the petition alleges the in
terests mentioned have suffered to an
extent never before known, and that
after repeated requests for relief from
the railroad company, in that cars be
furnished. no relief was given BY the
railroad, and matters went from bad
to worse Instances are given where
in the railroad is charged with be-
ing negligent in the delivery OF pro-
ducts OF these interests, all OF which
is claimed by the petitioners to be due
TO the inenciency Of the railroad com
pany.
The petition asks for a receiver for
the company until such time as addi-
tiOnal equipment is put into service
for the proper handling OF the freight
offered Rock Island lines in Oklaho-
ma and urges President Roosevelt to
act at once.

GOOdIand Clothing Compsuyss New
StoEe-Dick Auer, lIEnaeer.


One Of the finest advertisements
which attaches TO q store IS q dis
play window. And in this respect. the
GoOdland Clothing company. OF which
Dick Auer IS manager, has a window
that would certainly take the blue rib
bon at the county fair. It s. capa-
ciOus, and fringed with fifty electric
lights OF four candle power. each. and
when he lights are turned on the
place reminds one OF a high-tOned
furnishing house In big cities. The
window IS provided with q IarEe re-
cess with an elevated floor, set with
fine oak pedestals to display and do
justice to the goods. It is an alto
gether laudable enterprise and one
worthy Of imitation.
The GOOdland Clothing company Is
now nicely settled in its new quarters,
the brick building between the Hod-
kinson and Stevenson places. The
floors have been oiled TO keep down
dust and a decorated steel ceiling and
prism glass at the top OF the front
windows AFFORD both an artistic and
well lighted room Depending from
the ceiling at regular intervals, are
three Glover electric lamps OF forty
candle power each. On the west side
OF the room are two auto ladders for
the shoe and furnishing departments,
the first convenfences OF the kind for
reaching high shelves that were ever
brought to town The ladders roll
along the solid shelves Of shoes, which
in arrangement are attractive.
Mr.. Auer already has two fne glass
cases for displaying goods, but ex-
poets this week to receive more new
fixtures, such as a glass hat case,
eighteen feet long and eight feet high
doors ball-bearing; a plate mirror sew
en- by three and one-half feet, which
VIII be placed next to the hat case.
When all these luxuries are installed,

pearance indeed

Despite the unprecedented output

Other causes for dear moneT are

Run Over By Switch Engine at Phil
Iipsburg Last Thursday Night


From Phnlipsburg News
The most careful railroad man is
seldom safe from danger While on
duty. We often hear OF the careful
man getting killed by the cars or be-
ing run over BY an engine, and just
such a case happened in the yards
here last Thursday night when 7. L
Cook. q car inspector, was struck By
the switch engine and killed.
Train No p had Just pulled IN
from the east, and as had been his
custom Mr.. Cook stepped across the
track to the north side OF the train
to inspect same. The switch engine
had pushed q cabOOse up on track
one and was coming down to get in
behind the passenger train and cut
or the dining car EIr. Cook in some
manner stepped in the way OF the
approaching switch engine and fell in
the center OF track, passing under
the fOOt-bOard and dragged under the
engine between sixty and ninety feet
The engineer pulling the passenger
train witnessed the accident and call
ed to the engineer on the switch en-
gine that he had nit somebody. When
the engine stopped Mr.. Cook was
found under same, one hand grasping
a rod and II was all one man could
do to loosen his grasp. He was pulled
out from under the engine and taken
into the depot, later being taken to
his home in the northwest part Of
town, where he died about 11:45.
Tom Cook had been in the employ
OF the company for many years in
one capacity or another and was a
good workman As we have said be-
fore, he was considered one Of the
most careful men in the yards, and
it was great surprise to everybody
to learn that he had been caught by
the switch engine. It IS mighty dan
gerOus working around the trains in
the yards here, especially at night,
and to much precautiOn cannot be ex-
ercised.
Mr.. Cook was SO years old the 18th
day Of last July. He was born in the
state Of Indiana and came to Kansas
several years ago. The funeral was
held Sunday, interment being made
in the cemetery at Germantown, a lit
tie village six miles north Of Kensing-
ton, where one Of Mr.. Cooks children
was buried some years ago. A spe-
cial train was chartered by the Odd
Fellows and WOodmen lodges to can
vey the remains to Kensington, and
about one hundred Of our people ac-
cOmpanied same.
Deceased leaves a wife and three
children, and to them the sympathy Of
the entire community is extended.
