TOO MUCH WHISKEY
KILLS A BOY.
Youth Got Hold of His Fathers
jug and Imbibed Too Freely
Of Contents.

Willie j. the five-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Pat Boyle, of near Nose
leyville, died at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing as the result of drinking whisky
to excess. The whisky was kept in
a jug under the bed for family use
and the boy got thejug and imbibed
too freely when unobserved. This &C.
CURED about 10 a. IN. Monday and
the little fellow soon fell into a deep
sleep. Not much attention was paid
to the matter and no physician was
called. When night came it was sup
posed that the child's sleep was natur-
al and no attention was paid to him
until it was discovered that he was
dead. Coroner Grausz was notified
and went out and held an inquest and
returned verdict in accordance with
facts as follows: 1--WE of the jury be-
lieve that Willie Boyle died of a para
lytic stroke caused by an excessive
dose of whisky and unintentional neg
lect of his father"
The coroner's inquest developed the
fact that the boy complained of head
ache for severay days. On Monday
morning he again cimplained and the
mother gave him a drink of whisky
Later he wanted more, but it was re-
fused. He noticed where il was put
and soon helped himself. He soon
went into a deep stupor. The father
was sent for at p. m. Monday, but
concluded that the boy would soon
sleep it off and sent for no doctor.
Because of this he is accused of unin-
territorial neglect. The burial took
place this afternoon at o'clock at
Zion Methodist church. Mr.. Boyle is
a coal miner and lived about one mile
from Moseleyville on the road TO Pan
Their. He has four other children

ment.
Mrs Stephens is the attractive and
accomplished daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Stevens, one of the most
prominent and Influential families of

friends and relatives in her home

NO Agreement IN
green RIVER DISTRICT.
Home Warehouse Rejects Prop
Osition For New
Association.

greensboro, KY, April 11.-By a de-
cisiye vote the members of the Green
River District Equity or Home Ware
house Company to-day turned down
the proposition to unite with the
Green River District Tobacco Growers
Association the regular Equity" and
form a new organization.
At a recent meeting of the lead
ers of the three factions in the Green
River district a constitution and by
laws were adopted forming a new or
ganization TO be composed of Daviess,
Mclean, Hancock, Ohio and Brecken-
ridge counties in Kentucky and Spen-
Ger and Warwick counties in Indiana
This constitution was to have been
presented to a mass-meeting of the
tobacco growers of the district here
on Saturday, April is, for acceptance
or rejection. A meeting of the Home
Warehouse faction was held at the
courthouse to-day, and after many
vigorous speeches the motion to go in
to the new organization was lost.
1t is not believed that the regular
Equity members at their district meet
ing next Friday will favor the new
association. At to-day's meeting one
of the objections offered was that
the new organization proposed to give
too much power to the board of
control.

[ARTFORD OHIO COUNTY, KY. FRIDAY APRIl. II, 1908.

and in regard to Youtsey Judge Will
Hams said that the Commonwealth
had never doubted the willingness or
ability Of Youtsoy to kill Goebel. He
called attention to the fact that Jim
Howard was found making affidavits
before Gov. Taylor for the calling
out of the militia, whereas he had
claimed that he did not know the
Governor.
He also endeavored to show up nu-
merous contradictions of Howard as to
his acquaintance with w. S. Taylor and
his presence in Frankfort at the time.
In concluding his address, Judge Will
liams said that Powers last trail was
the first in which powers was ready
for trial; that in all of the others
he was constantly seeking delay and
fighting for continuance.

PORKERS ON THE
JUMP some NOW.
But Few on The Farm And Corn
Too High to
Feed.

His hogship, the porker is getting
to be about the most aristocratic thing
about the farm these days says Eliza
BEETHOVEN News. The price of hogs
on the market the past few days has
made the farmers with a big bunch of
them sit up and take notice" with
the result that the crib which has beer
denied them for the past several
months is now at their disposal. The
market price on hogs the other day was
500 which is a considerable advance
over the quotation of few days ago.
However there are few farmers in the
county who are in a position to take
advantage of the sudden rise, as so
few of them have fat hogs on hand.
The majority of those who have been
wintering their hogs either sold them
before the advance or have not put
them in condition to dispose of. The
price of corn the past winter did not
Justify farmers in feeding it to their
hogs. Seventy-fiye cent corn fed to &c
hogs didn't look good" to them and
his hogship in most instances had to
root for himself. Now that hogs have
advanced those farmers that have
them claim that the scarcity of corn
is another problem that confronts them
However it is safe that the crop of
stock hogs in the country will be weed
ed out as fast as their owners can get
them in shape for the market.

serving TO selfish greed is demanded
by every liberty-loving Republican.
You have been told that | have de-
nounced the Federal officeholders for
being for Mr.. Taft. The charge is
false. But l have denounced concert
ed action and conspiracy by the office
holders to dominate the rank and file
of the party.
There are more persons not holding
office than persons who hold offices.
And If those out of office exercise
the freedom from officeholders domin-
alton and such a course should result
in some who are in office going
out and some who are out going in,
there can be no just cause of COM
plant. Our critics are able to point
to two prominent Federal officers,
George w Long and z. T. Franks as
being for Mr.. Fairbanks, in answer to
the charge that. the Federal officehol-
ders with substantial unanimity are for
Mr.. Taft. They talk about State Of
ficers. They claim that a majority
of the State officers are for Taft and
mention my good friends, Breathitt,
Farley, Crabbe and James; but they
should remember that Wilson, Bruner
Rankin, Scott and Milward are on the
other side.
However this may be it is immaterfal.
The majority of the rank and file of
the party in this State is for Fairbanks
and this is of more consequence than
the position of a few persons elected
to office. Some of the Taft peo-
pie think that the best way to defeat
Fairbanks is for so called Republican
to traduce me and anony-
nous letters replete with falsehoods
are given circulation with that view.
