works, the telephone and telegraph Of

the rest of the world dynamited and set
fire to the Steger & Dollar and the

The first appearance Of the night
riders was in November, 1905, when
they destroyed some tobacco barns and
small factories in Todd County, with a
loss of about $4,000. The first raid
came ON the night of November II,
1905, when masked bands entered the
towns of Eddyvflle and Kuttawa, stu
ated close together in Lyon and Cald-
we'll Counties, and destroyed the plants
of the American Snuff Company and
N. C. Rice, with $4,000 loss.
Besides these there have been many
smaller raids and visits to individual
growers. Tobacco barns have beer
burned, growers who refused to pool
thSfr tobacco have been taken from
their homes and whipped, houses have
been fred into and the occupants
wounded. The aggregate losses by
hese raids amount to nearly $1,OOO,OOO

CARE FOR EX-PRESIDENTs, IS
PLEA OF GROVER CLEVELAND
Urges Duty to Make Provision for
Men Who Have Filled Highest
Post in Nation.

Referring to the poverty of Jefferson
when he left the presidency as a blow
to national pride, Grover Cleveland
writing in the Youths Companion I'M
der to title "Our People and Their ex-
Presidents" argues that definite and
generous provision should be made for
the maintenance OF chief magistrates
at the expiration of their terms. He
deals with the subject at length and
explains that he feels he can do so
without his sincerity being questioned
since he is beyond the need of aid
from the public treasury.
THE condition is by no means met, >
Mr.. Cleveland writes, "by the meager
and spasmodic relief occasionally fur
nished under the guise of military
pension or some other pretext, mol
would it be best met by making com
pensation dependent upon the discharge
of senatorial or other official duty. Oul
people ought to make definite and dec
orous provisions for all cases alike
based on motives of justice and fair
ness, and adequate to the situation"
Mr.. Cleveland describes the limita
lions that his former high office place
on retired President in his choice Of
occupations and means of livelihood
and how popular conception of him as
repository of national dignity enforce'
a scale Of living that may not be within
his private means.
There is sort of vague, but non'
the less imperative, feeling abroad il
the land that one who has occupied thu
great Office of President holds in trus
for his fellow citizens a certain dig
nifty which, in his conduct and manne1
of life, he is bound to protect agains

All she Had.

In the absence of his wife and the
illness of the servant, Mr.. Taylor I'M
dertook to help three-year-old Marjory
to dress.
He had succeeded in getting her arms
in the sleeves and through the armholes
of her garments, and had buttoned her
into them. Then he told her to put on
her shoes herself, and he would button
them.
He soon discovered that she was
valnly striving to put a left shoe on
her right foot.
''Why. MarJory," he said, Impatient
ly, don't you know any better thar
thanP You are putting your shoes Oh
the wrong feet"
'Dey's all de foots dot, papa" re
piled Marjory, tearfully.

''What of that? They would give mill

He is the handspring of everything.
He finished his plans and went to
cheap upholsterer's There he ordered
a triple supply of everything he had noted
down, one set to be sent to his own al

arranged in Its place. When everything
was arranged, Mr.. Zeno, whose landlady

KENTUcKY's TOBACCO wAA
Eight Riders Inhict an Aggregate
Loss of Nearly 81 100000.

ASooS VA @NV0AAJ R4gOOSbSOS'
The last exploit Of the Kentucky
.obacco night riders in selling the city
IF Hopkinsville, destroying 100000
worth of property and seriously wound
ng two men, has aroused an intensity
t interest throughout the State and far
eyond its borders. These riders are
he most conspicuous feature of the
tar that is being waged by the tobacco
rowers of Kentucky against the Ameri-
an Tobacco Company. BY reducing
he competition in the buying of tobac-
o to practically nothing the company
forced down the price Of leaf tobacco
until the growers say they can not real
ize enough to pay for raising it. The
obacco crop is mainstay in many
parts of Kentucky, and thousands de-
pend on it for their daily bread. The
growers determined to force the price
up.
The plan proposed in the beginning,
and which is still being followed, was
to form a combination of the growers
to oppose the combination of the manu-
facturers and by Withholding the to-
bacco make the tobacco trust come to
terms. Many associations of growers
have been formed In the different to-
5acco raising regions of Kentucky. But
some of the growers did not come into
the association ranks and others grew
weary Of waiting and sold their crops.
The more violent men in, the associa-
tons have resorted to the measures
that gave rise to the night riders, and
by destroying the property of the to
bacco company and the growers who
are not allied with them have sought
to carry through their plan by force
and terror.
The Hopkinsville rail was the second
time In twelve months that the night
riders seized and terrorized city. On
December 1, 1906, they entered Prince

ESTATES OF OLD SOLDIERS.
An Ohio County to Fight United
States for 100000.

States for S5OO,OOO.
Frank w. Howell, a Dayton lawyer,
is now entitled to the worlds record
as administrator Of estates. He has
been appointed by Judge @. w. Dale as
administrator Of S,432 estates, and has
been compelled to give bond in the
sum of $3,2O0,O00.
The appointment as ADMINISTRATOR
grew out of the following situation:
The central branch of the National
Military Homes Is located at Dayton,
and was established by the United
States government, by special act
March 8, 1865. The jurisdiction OF tn's
large tract of ground, more than
mile square in extent, was ceded 10 the
United States government by the state
Of Ohio April 13, 1861
Upon this land the Central Branch
of the National Military Homes was
built for disabled soldiers and sailors
who have fought the battles for liberty
and union. AS far as the United States
government is concerned nothing mas
been neglected, and the central Drancn
! is a veritable paradise.
If all the veterans who entered the
central branch had lived there wouid
have been no contention and nothing
to narrate. When death comes inc
veteran receives a decent and honor-
able burial, and his belongings are COL
lected, and if not claimed by relatives
are sold and the money, together WIN
all of the pension money to when lie
is entitled, is placed in the postum
nous fund.-" which Is in the keeping OF
the treasurer of the Central Branch
National Military Homes. Sometimes
the deceased veteran leaves consider
able property which he has gained by
investment or speculation with his
pension money. Four test cases are
now being fought out to determine
whether these estates shall revert to

the Montgomery County treasurer OF
the United States government. 1t il
contended by Mr.. Howell, the admin
istrator, that the money left by the old
veterans who die intestate belongs to
Montgomery County and should go to-
ward the school fund. United States
District Attorney Mcpherson of Gin
cinnati is looking after the interests of
the government He claims that the
money belongs to the United States.
The amount Involved in the cases rep
resented by Mr.. Howell, the admins
traitor, Is something over $500, 900.

obligation prescribes for him only such
work as in popular judgment is not

and a reasonable obligation Of indem-
nifcation."

ORCHARD HOPES FOR DEATH

Than Hanging.

Says Life In Penitentiary Is Worse
Than Hanging.
Boise. Idaho.-Claiming that life
at the Idaho penitentiary Is far worse
than death. because other prisoners
refuse to have anything to do with
him. and that he is completely iso-
lated from human companionship,
Harry Orchard has expressed the
hope that the Idaho Board of Par
dons will not interfere with the sent
ence of death pronounced by Judge
Wood.
The board Of Pardons meets this
week In special session to consider
the case. and unless favorable action
is taken on the recommendation of
Judge Wood. Orchard will be execut-
ed on May Is. Orchards attorney
will present to the Board the recon-
mendation Of Judge Wood, and 1t is
understood no one will appear before
the Board to protest against COM
mutation of sentence. The Board
is composed of Governor Gooding,

GENERAL INCREASE
IN FREIGHT RATES
RAILROADS ARE AFTER MORE
REVENUE AND WILL RAISE
CHARGES 10 PER CENT.
Shippers Will Contest Fiercely-Roth
Glass and Commodity Rates to
Be Generally Raised.

Chicago, May 5.-General ad-
vances in freight rates in Official
classification" territory, including all
the district east of the Mississippi
River to the Atlantic seaboard and
north from the Ohio River to the
Canadian border, have been decided
upon by railroads in that territory.
This means increased revenue e1-
ceeding $l0O,O00.00O annually, but
the movement must first stand a de-
lermined fight by all the shippers.
Many conferences have been held and
the railroad presidents expect fierce
opposition. They argue that the
fairness of the country will not per-
NIT them to lose $4O0.O0O.O0O annu-
ally, and that they must increase
rates or decrease wages.
July there will be an advance in
all class" rates, and August l all
but four of the commodity rates will
be boosted. The average will be 10
per cent This will be the first ad-
vance In rates Of this character in the
history Of the country, and 1t will
disturb the rate adjustment through
out the entire country, upsetting
rate basis which has existed for II
years.
This movement, it is understood,
precsdes similar action on the part
of all railroads in the United States.
In fact, the Southeastern roads al
ready have decided. 1t is claimed, to
follow the lead of the Eastern lines.
Western lines have had no voice in
the plan. owing to the geographical
division of territory for rate-making
, purposes.
