Fine Wheat Average.

Mr.. Lewis Saltzman, who NOV
ed to this county from Missouri
about two years ago and bought
land southwest of this city, was
in town last Monday with sam

624 pounds, and for which he
was offered "a cents per bushel.
Mr.. Saltzman had sixty acres
Of wheat, forty-fve acres of
which was planted early and
made an average Of a few pounds
more than twenty-eight bushels
per acre. Fifteen acres was
planted very late and averaged
nearly fifteen bushels and a peck
per acre.
Taking even bushels he has ay-
eraged twenty-four and three
quarter bushels per acre this
year which, at the price offered
him, would realize S23.25 per
acre. Mr.. Saltzman gave some
thing less than $1,000 per acre
for the land about two years
ago, and says that he wouldn't
take less than 5000 for it now.

good and bad. They can be re-
garded as nothing but destruct-
i've to the State. The people are
unable to distinguish the good
from the bad and there arises a
general distrust of public men
or it not distrust, state of in
difference to evils and evil men.
Public sentiment, which should
be the keystone to legislation, is
withdrawn from the legislators
to be followed by a lack of re-
spect for existing law and a
growing demand for changes,
without regard to their special
need.
Surely it cannot be said on any
just grounds, that our public
men are traitors to their duty.
Moreover it is reflection upon
ourselves when we say that our
representatives cannot govern us
intelligently. If such is the case,
then nothing but destruction
awaits our democratic form of
government. Hence the necessity
of strong public sentiment behind
our legislation. The people must
see the danger to our representa-
tive government and make a
stand against sensational litera-
ture and the wild cries of agi-
tators. But as we should be dis
Greet in starting reforms much
more is it necessary that we be
discreet in carrying them on.
'"In these troublous times what
is needed is men,. A healthier
public spirit which is not afraid
to render authority the obedience
which is it's due and give to law
the respect it ought to command.
Education too, must play it's
part, especially that education
which imprints in our hearts the
fundamental principles of NOR
ais and religion. The real reform
of evils is for every man to re-
form himself, to puild up in him
self strong and noble character,
to be conscious Of his high mis-
sion in life and of his duties to
his fellow-me to meet the trials
of life with wisdom and strength
Ind never to fail in his duty to
social security and universal
sympathy among men, men who
at last see things in their true
light and in their true related
order.

PROGRESS OF REFORM.

Apparently reform is reform
ing very fast, if reform it can be
called. We would rather call it
deform instead of reform. Rab-
hi Leon Harrison of Temple Is
rael at st. Louis, Mo-, was known
ten years ago to have opposed a
fair which was to be given un-
der the auspices of the United
Hebrew Charities organization
of that city on Friday night
He is now opposing the ortho-
dox faction of the same organi-
zation by advocating the Charity
Fair to be kept open this year on
Friday night.
If the so-called reform Rabbi
is making such strides away
from Judaism, as he has mad
in the last ten years, we surmise
his Judaism in ten years from
now will have to be put undo.
microscope to be distinguish
able, and still we are not sur
prised, as reform is advocating
assimilation, the Rabbi is setting
the pace.
Nor are we worried, for the
sooner they assimiliate and gel
off the scene the better it will
be for Judaism.

or their highly sensational

pages.
They perceive a people in throes
of sensationalism and offer as
cure more sensation. They alone
are good, the victims of their at
tack are bad, and in deed they
are captivating enough, so much
so, that men fail to look into their
motives and analyze their charg-
es. A headline is a sufficient ap-
peal to the feverish minds of the
people and condemnation follows.
A mere assertion is too often
taken for fact. The sensational
writer has only to state his case
and is not called upon to show a
substitute for that which he de-
lights in destroying. 1t is not
very difficult to picture what
such state of affairs must in
evitably lead to. SANDER and un-
truthful assaults on men never.
have brought good to any State
and show no prospects of ever
doing it in the future Some re-
action must surely follow and
then the danger is that it will
not be the guilty who suffer the
penalty of their destructive work
but their innocent victims un-
truthfully assaulted.
In this same class are those ag-
itators who are "but the froth
upon the mountain wave, the
bird that shrieks upon the sullen
tempest's wind" With little if
any real knowledge of conditions
they hold forth before the peo-
pie with remedies for all evils.
They especially in the times of
unrest are a menace. Their wild
imaginations are constant
source of danger to the State.
They are the cause, as Burke
says, of that "optical illusion
which makes briar at our nose
of greater magnitude than an oak
at 500 yards distance"
These are the times and those
are the products of the times;
sensational literature and agita-
ton whose object is not SO much
to build up as to tear down, who
think that no good can come un-
less they first destroy something.
Their efforts are directed first
of all against men in the Govern
ment service. 1t was a saying of

The civilized world is passing

Whether we look to Russia to

The progress of science and in

Our country, especially, is in the

But to us it is very evident that
such an unrest is all about us and

RETRIBUTION At LAST.
Notorious Feud Leaderr dGl many
IEnas murder is shot by his
own Son.
Especial to THE ARaUs.) -


Jackson, KY, Feb. 7.-Former
County Judge James Hargis, for many
years member of the Stat Democratic
Executive Committee, accused of COM
plicity in mony killings and promi-
nent figure in the feuds which have
disrupted Breathitt county for several
years, was shot and instantly killed in
his general store here yesterday after
noon, by his son, Beacher Hargis. The
son fired five shots in rapid succession
at his father, who fell dead while his
clerk were waiting on customers.
The exact cause Of the murder has not
been learned, but it is supposed to have
been the result of otdifferences which have
existed between father and son for
some time. The two men are reported
TO have had severe quarrel several
nights ago, when the father, it is al
legged, was compelled to resort to viol-
ence to restrain his son. Young
Hargis, it is satd, had been drinking
heavily oflate. He came into the store
and was apparently under the influ-
ence of liquor, Judge Hargis, it is said,
spoke to his son about drinking and
quarrel resulted. Father and son
stepped behind a counter when the
son, after a few minutes conversation,
drew revolver and fred five shots.
Four took effect, Judge Hargis falling
dead. The young lady stenographer
and the customers in the store fed in
fright.
Young Hargis was arrested and
placed in Jail. He was raving like a
maniac and the officers were compelled
to drag him to Jail.
Old man Hargis was credited, as the
learder of ene feudist side, with having
s'Raised more He'll than any other
man in Kentucky" being actually con-
cerned in a half dozen murders.
His awful death is believed by many
to be retributive vengeance on the part
of providence. 'sWho SO sheddeth

by hiscritics.
He will be buried in $1.5OO coffin,
which he himself selected some time
ago.

HICKORY TREE is A MONUMENT.
It Marks the Grave Of an Admirer Of
President Jackson.

In the Baptist graveyard at Can.
ton, Pa. near Salem. Lee the body
of an old revolutionary soldier named
James Sayres. A rude. unlettered
sandstone marks his grave, but more
conspicuous monument is a large hick-
DRY tree the trunk Of which. three feet
from the ground, measures 5lH
inches in circumference.
James Sayres was an ardent ad.
mirer of Andrew Jackson, so often
called odd Hickory" from the char
acter Of being so unbending In any
cause which he believed to be right.
Mr.. Sayres always wore sprig Of
hickory on his breast on training
days" and before he died directed
that a hickory tree be planted on
his grave. This was done. and after
the tree attained proportions deemed
unsuitable TO adorn grave II was dug
up. Another tree sprang from the
roots left in, and this in time was also
dug up.
When third tree appeared. with a
persistency IN a good cause worthy OF
emulation, relatives Of the deceased
directed that IL be not disturbed.
Hence the tree Of large proportions
that annually showers its nuts over
the grave Of the deceased admirer OF
old Hickory"
