Before Grand Jury to Tell What He
Knows About Night Riders.

Hopkinsville, Ky.-A ripple of excite
ment was caused here this morning when
it was learned that a subpoena to appear
before the grand jury had been served
on Gov. A. E. Wilson to tell what he
knew of night rider %outrages in Christian
county.
The governor entered the grand jury
room at 1906 o'clock and remained there
Just ten minutes. When he came out he
was met by a number of local friends and
in discussing the affair he said that the
information he possessed was purely from
official reports made to him ard he had
no personal knowledge of night riders
competent as testimony before the grand
jury. He declared, though, that he had
the evidence on file in his office and that
at the proper time he would present it
before any grand jury that wanted it.

the same infected dog, are waiting for
what fate may bring them. Two of them
have been taking the Pasteur treatment
from the very first. But that is not Civ.
ing them much consolation, for Mrs. Day
took the treatment, too. The third has
not even that to aid him. He merely

SOCIETY OF EQUITY IN ACTION
Will Attempt to Regulate Prices
and Farm Labor.

Milwaukee, Wis.-The future OF night
riding in the tobacco districts OF Ken
lucky will doubtless be the most impor'
tant subject to be discussed during the
convention here this week of the Amer
lean Society of Equity, the so-called
farmers trust. The main object of bring
ing the national convention to Milwau-
kee was, it is said, the carrying out OF a
campaign to win Wisconsin for the farm
ers' trust and to secure an extension to
this State of the price agreements rul-
ing in Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and other
States where the farmers are well or
ganized.
In Wisconsin the farmers are organ
izing many branches of the society and
the move is going through the rural dis
tricts like wild fire. Last spring an eff
fort was made to win Wisconsin tobacco
farmers to the side of the Kentucky So
ciety, which has been fighting the to-
bacco trust by the approved trust meth
DDS, but the Wisconsin tobacco district
is the only district where the society
has a good foothold.

Taxes on Common Carriers.


| Taxes on Common Carriers.
Secretary Maxwell OF the railroad
commission has just completed the as
sessments for the several counties OF
the state against the various railroad
companies, express and telegraph COM
panies, Pullman a companies, and the
two interurban railway companies doing
business as common carriers.
The grand total of valuations OF all
the property OF the common carriers,
under all heads, under the 1908 assess
ment, reaches the sum OF Sac, 62,93o,
the state tax upon which, at 6 mills,
reaches the total of 1921, 972.4O. The
same property valuation in 1907 totaled
$43, 935 l91, which gives an increased
valuation for 1908 of 81, 727,S47. The
state tax in 1907, at 6 mills, was $685.

1908 of s2S, 361.25.
