KENTUCKIANS MUCH EXCITED
TWO COUNTIES WROUGHT UP
OVER MORGAN'S TRIAL.
Barn Burnings and Stabbing Follow
Placing Young Girl in Re-
form School

PENNINGTON, Ky. November 2s.-
The trial of Harry Morgan, charged with
the burning of the buildinGs belonging to
DR.. w. +. Mcclure and sta5Dins Thomas
Daugherty, is bringing to focus i case
over which the people of two counties,
Bath and Fleming, are much excited.
Trouble began last spring when the to-
bacco barns of Jacob Mcclure were burn
ed by incendiaries. Shortly before that
Mcclure had sent Rosa Starrett, his
young granddaughter, to the reform
school in Lexington. He had been warn
ed against this action and the barn burn
ing followed. Two weeks ago property
belonging 10 DR.. w. B. Mcclure. "a SON
of Jacob, was burned and later Harry
Morgan was arrested. Morgan afterward
stabbed DaGSiieTty. who had had trouble
with him. Mob feeling ran high and Nor
gan was guarded in the Jail to prevent =
lynching.
Yesterday Charles Starrett, father OF
the girl who had been sent to the re-
form school, was found dead with a bull
let in his head. The girl says her father
tried to kill her first. NeighbOrS charge
that il was murder and an investigation
is under way. All concerned are promi-
nent and sensational arrests may follow.
While the trail of Harry Morgan was
in progress four prisoners charged with
felony escaped from the jail after being
aided by friends on the outside. All are
still az large. Excitement over the Nor
gan trial is hourly growing greater.

SCIENTIFIC DUTY COST LIFE
DIR. MILLER DIES OF DISEASE
HE STUDIED.
Succumbs to Typhoid Fever, the
Prevalence Of Which, in George
town, He Was Investigating.

| DR.. William Miller Of the public health
and marine hospital service, who died of
| typhoid at Providence Hospital last Tues
day. was buried Friday at Memphis,
| Tenn, his old home
DIR. Miller was on duty at the hygienic
laboratory. where most of his time the
past summer was spent in meteorological
studies in connection with the investiga-
| tions of the origin and prevalence of
typhoid fever in the District of Columbia
| During these studies he made thousands
of examinations of infected material In
this way he probably contracted the dis
| ease which caused his death.
Dr. Miller was born in Mississippi in
1880. He received his. preliminary edu-
| cation in Memphis, Tenn, and graduated
In medicine at the University of Virginia
in 1901
After graduation he spent considerable
time in some of the large hospitals in
New York, being inferno and house sur
geon in Roosevelt Hospital for over two
years. During this term of service he
performed more than 24O major opera
tions, an exceptional record for SO young
man.
After passing a brilliant competitive
examination he was commissioned Sep
TENDER A. 1906, an assistant surgeon in
the public health and marine hospital
service and assigned to duty at the immi-
grafton station, Ellis Island, N. Y. In
August 1907, he was relieved from duty
in New York and assigned to the hygienic
laboratory in Washington.
Besides his studies in typhoid fever at
this laboratory, DIR. Miller was engaged
in original research and discovered new
blood parasite of animals. The report of
this discovery IS embodied in a bulletin
of the hygienic laboratory which will soon
be issued from the press.
DR.. Miller was married in October, 1906,

When Is a Woman OldP
From the Milwaukee journal.

fTOm tne MILWAUKEE, JOURNAL
A Chicago young WomenS club has
drawn the line against women over forty
on the theory that woman past forty is
no longer to be classed as young. Nat
uraliy there is a vigorous protest, and
many of the members threaten to resign
There is no disgrace in old age, rather
honor in it. Age is one of the very few
things over which humanity has no con-
troll whatever, and for which it is neither
to be blamed nor praised. Old age is
honorable because it is the result of long
right living. The vicious the careless
and the slOthful seldom attain it.
1t is by right living, by observance of
the laws of nature, that men and women
not only live to be old, but seem to be
younger than they really are 1t Is lust
as much a matter of pride for one to
look and feel like forty at sixty as it is
for one to be hale at ninety. Though
there is no disgrace in growing old, there
is decided Inconvenience in 1t, econom-
ically, physically and socially. The wom-
an who feels forty naturally does not like
to be classed and associated with women
who feel sixty. If she is bright and
young in spirit she wants to continue to
be SO regarded by bright and young peo-
pie. Vanity really has very little part in
it. The woman's happiness and her sym
pathetic relationship with the young and
vigorous depend on 1t. She has a right
to insist that she be taken at the age She
feels and shows.

Shots Exchanged in Mill Yard.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, November 2S-A dis

ports of an attack on detail of militia
men by band of men, presumably night
riders, at the Gleason saw mill, near
Samburg, last night According to the
dispatch one of the soldiers was slightly
wounded, and fifty shots were exchanged
between the military and the attacking
party.
The attack followed the firing on OF
three men by soldiers, who discovered the
men In the mill yard. The intruderS.
when challenged. refused to halt. Spas
mOdic firing continued for several hours
and was followed at midnight by a
fusillade. When the fire was returned

ments from Camp Rankin, a search was
made but none of the band could be
located
The placing of the guards at Gleason

The Revenge of the Beavers.

From the kennebec Journal.
At the reservoir at Saddleback pond
recently at Rangely beavers work in dam
construction was found to interfere with
the water supply from Saddleback stream.
These busy engineers had cons ,ructed a
tight dam which had retained consider
able of the supply of the mountain reser-
voir. and workmen each day tore out their
work only to find it rebuilt on their next
visit. Good-sized tree sections had been
hauled in and placed in the dam by the
beavers After several distinctions of
the beavers dams there was again found
to be a stoppage in the supply of water
through the main pipes. The dam had
not been rebuilt, but on close inveStiga
ton II was found that these cunning
engineers in revenge apparently lad built
a dense screen across the strainer which
had prevented the flow of water through
the main pipe.

Gen. Kuropatkin, in McClure's
It may be stated without much danger
of error that the chief characteristic of
our highest commanding element, espe-
cially during the early period Of the cam

and the lack of persistency. The result
Of this was always revealed by a lack of
harmony in the actions of large units. in
difference to the situation of a neighbor.
and premature admission that the battle
was lost.
Even those officers who possessed the
best qualities always found it more ad-
vantageous if neighbor began the at

ported him. If any one was hard pressed
