team in case a franchise j.
awarded.
There has been very little
talk of franchise transfer since
the season closed. but it seems
to be a foregone conclusion that
Monroe will not be in the circuit
next year, and two good reasons
are offered, the first being in
accessibility and the second is the
fact that the Monroe association
finished badly in debt during the
season just closed. and there Is
no reason to hope that a more
liberal patronage would be given
next season.
Columbus is also on the anx-
ious seat. although the fans IN
that city are as enthusiastic as
ever. and would doubtless be
willing to get together and furn-
ish the finances for another sea
son. Hattiesburg has been fiirt-
ing with the franchise question
and while nothing definite has
been done, there is a possibility
that an association may be form
ed at that place for the purpose
of applying for a franchise.
Meridian has been indulging in
some talk of quitting the league.
but it is believed that the fran
chise of the Ribboners will be
retained. ?"

DEATH OF AN ESTIMABLE LADY.

Thursday morning, December &c,
1907, at $3.50 o'clock, Mrs. Nancy o.
Jones departed this life at her late
home, near Middleburg, KY.
The deceased had been in declining
health for several months, but her
death was sudden and unexpected. She
sat up in bed, ate her breakfast, dying
in few minutes after eating. Heart
failure was the cause of her demise.
The deceased was born and reared in
Cumberland county, removing to Casey
county after her marriage. Her hus-
band died thirty-two years ago.
Mrs Jones was the mother of Judge
W. W. Jones, of THE place, C. c. and
Q, z. Jones, of Casey county, the only
surviving children.
The deceased frequently visited her
son here, and she was known to many
residents of the town.
When, quite a young woman she
made profession of her faithin Christ,
united with the Baptist Church, living
a consistent member until the final
dissolution. Had she lived until next
April she would have been seventy
years old.
Funeral services were held Friday,
conducted by Rev. TilfOrd, of the
Baptist church, and the interment was
in the Middleburg cemetery. In testi-
mony of the high esteem in which the
deceased was held, many attended the
last sad rites.

VISITED THE pARsoN.

On Christmas Eve night a goodly
number of the members of the CoIum-
bia Baptist Church surprised their pas
tor, Rev. J. C. Cook, by presenting him
with large quantity of goods that
play an important part in the substan-
t ais and delicacies of the dining room.
But little time had been given to the
collection of the supplies, many mem
bers failing to hear Of it, but within
the short time every one who heard of
the movement seemed to be anxious to
help swell the baskets, though many
failed to be present on account of bus
mess matters and engagements, at
home. At any rate the contribution
was large and covered nearly all of the
useful table articles.
The collection of goods was at the
residence of Mrs. Bette w. Butler,
and promptly at 7: p. M, the party
proceeded to the parsonage where the
deposit was made in the center of the
living room.
Mr.. G. P. SmytHe made the presen-
tation speech in his usual good manner,
and Mr.. 10 N. Conover and others gave
the minister Sand his good wife ex-
pressions of good will and love. The
speech of acceptance, by, the pastor
was full of sentiment and showed that
it was received in the same spirit in
which it was given. After the short
talks music, appropriate to such'an oc-
casion, was INDUCED in, the handshake
fol owed and the party dispersed, leay-
ing the pastor and his loved ones happy
in the knowledge that they are duly
and truly appreciated by the members
of his charge, while the donors felt
that it was more blessed to give than
to receive.

l want to express my everlasting
gratitude to all those wbs were with
me during the illness and death of my
beloved daughter, Sasie. Like soldiers
they stood about her bedside, and with
tender hands and loving hearts they
administered to her every want. When
life ended it seemed t6at could not
bear to give her up. But consOling
words from Bro. Kasey, who officiated
attlle funeral, convinced me that my
daughter was not dead-her spirit had
only departed live in the celestial

Heyburn's Speech In Opposition
to Forestry Service
RIDICULED DIVISION CHART
Smoot Said he Could Prove, Not
by Prophesy, But by Figures, That
the Timber Of This Country Was
Being Rapidly Destroyed.

WASHINGTON, May 5--A speech
in opposition to the forestry service
was made by Senator Hepburn oi
Idaho in the Senate today while the
agricultural bill was under considera-
ton. Warner OF Missouri continued
his speech on the Brownsville affair,
but did not conclude,
Hepburn suggested an amendment
excepting Idaho from the states in
which the secretary of agriculture
may give permits for expectation of
timber from the forest reserves. He
ridiculed the chart of the forestry di-
vision, which was swung on the wall
of the senate chamber marked with
statements as TO the number of years
the forests of the various parts Of the
country would last, The forestry di-
vision he said, was launching into the
realm OF prophecy in way that
would require greater wisdom than
that possessed by Sages Of old when

A Lively Debate Kept Up in the
House
INCREASED SAFETY IN MINING
Gen. Woods Recommendation to Pur-

Serevely Criticised by Fitzgerald
and Battler.

WASHINGTON, May s.-A live.
ly debate was kept up all day today
in the house on the sundry civic bill.
Repeated efforts were made by Gaines
and CLANCY, supported by many
other members to procure application
for investigation looking to the in
creased safety in mining and then
had about got Chairman Tawney to
the point where he would consent to
the appropriation of $4,000, when
Underwood, of Alaska, objected and
the proposition for a time, at least,
was dropped.
A provision in the bill for the pur-
chase of 5000 acres of land in addi-
ton to Fort Mckinley, Philippine
Islands, recommended by General
Wood, excited severe criticism from
and Battler, the former
continually referring to the general as

Friend 10 a Lodging House,
Whore He Was Captured
CIRCUMsTAATlAL EVIDENCE
Martin Denied Being the Murderer
and Explained the Wound on His
Head by Saying he Had Injured
Himself With an Axe.

PORTLAND, May s.-Edward II
Martin, the accused murderer o.
Nathan Wolff, pawnbroker, who wai
bru,ally murdered at his First street
shop Friday evening last, was ar
rested this afternoon.
The apprehension was the result oI
a ceaseless search which was carried
on since the discovery OF the crime
al 9 o'clock last Friday night Bit
by bit evidence was gathered and 50
sikliully put together that last night
there seemed little doubt that the
police were On the right track and q
John Doe warrant was issued.
The clue in the chain Of circum-
stantial evidence which pointed in
Martins direction was the discovery
of a bloody shirt in the rear Of cheap
lodging house on Third street Laun-
dry marks on the shirt gave the police
>the clue which led to Martins arrest.
NThe police were close on Martins
trail all day and this afternoon he
was traced from the home OF friend
TO his lodging house on Grand avenue
and East Morrison streets where he
was placed under arrest without any
trouble and hurried TO the police
station, where he was examined by
Chief Gritzmacher He denied being
the murderer and explained the deep
wound on his head and hand by say
ing he had injured himself with an
axe Some deep scratches on his neck
he said were inflicted by cat, but the
police are placing no reliance on these
statements because witnesses have
been found.to whom Martin is alleged
to have otherwise explained his
wounds.
Martin was at one time an officer in
the regular army and served in Cuba
as lieutenant Of the twenty-frst in
fantry. He contracted disentary while
on this campaign and met his wife
who was nurse in the hospital at
Syracuse, where he was being treated
for the disease Mrs, Martin stated to
an Oregonian reported today that she
had entertained suspicious that her
