Association Prizer Whipped
by Mob For Alleged Buying
Tobacco For Trust on Side.
John Heath Severely Dealt
With by Mob at Dawson
Springs Last Night-Town
is Quiet Today.

Dawson Springs, Jan. 25.-(Spe-
cial. dawson SPRINGS had its night
Irider visitation last night, and quite
a fright in connection with it, too.
John Heath, of Hopkinsvihe, has been
putting up tobacco here for the assO-
citation, but few days ago rumor
was circulated that he was also buy
ling tobacco, on the side, for the trust.
and last nights visit was a result.
About fifty men came into town
about 1890 this morning, and went
to the Arcadia, where Heath is board
ing and asked for Mr. Holman, the
proprietor, who, however, was over
in Madisonvile. They then called
Mrs. Holman and asked for Heath.
but she replied that he was not there.
Not believing what she said, they
went through the building calling for
Heath and he answered. They then
took him across the river and gave
him thrashing, turned him loose and
departed withs great deal of gun
Iplay and shouting. Heath is not
much the worse for his experience.
When the visit of the night riders
first became known the inhabitants
Of the town thought they had come to
brighten the negroes from the town,
las ten days ago most all of the ne
|groes residing here received warnings
to vacate. which most of them were
mot slow to heed. However, no one
but Heath was molested The mob
did fire good many shots into the
Arcadia and also a great many in the
streets, but aside from this did no
damage, in fact announced that they
had come for nothing but to thrash
Heath
There is great deal of tobacco in
storage here, but It is all association
property.

An
EnthuSidStOn
the Camp

That Ely camp is just clearing
away for a period of activity and
that was promised when the
hoom started couple of years ago,
and that the camp will now forge
ahead at a pace little dreamed of in
the beginning. is the word brought
been at the camp for several days,
SAYS the Salt Lake Herald. He re-
ports that something like 600 men
are now employed at the mills and
smelter at McGill, and that new men
are being added as rapidly as places
can be made for them.
Everything now is being pushed
on a genuine business basis. Trade
is picking up, and mines are becom-
ing more active, building enterprises
are being renewed and plans are be-
ing laid on all sides for the carrying
through of undertakings that were
nipped in the bud when the financial
panic hit the country last fall. Ely
never looked as good to me as it did
on this trip. and the slight setback
it suffered along with all sections of
the western mining world has cleared
the air and caused everybody to set
tie down and start off with their feet
right down on solid earth.
1T is now conceded at camp that
the first 900 ton unit of the 900
ton concentrating plant of the Nevada
and Cumberland Ely
will be ready to go into
not later than March Is;
the big smelter will be ready to COM
mence the treatment of ore and con
ecntrates by July l. Before the year
is over 1t is estimated that the great
and smelling works VIII
be operating at not less than three
fourths of their designed maximum
This means that thousands
of men must be steadily employed at
the mines and reduction works, with
cor responding crews to operate the
ore and freight trains OF that sec
tion. Ely is starting off to become
the biggest camp in the west In my
Judgment there will be no further set
backs till that has become an es-
tablished reality

WITHDRAW CASHIERS CHECKS

SALT LAKE. Jan. 30.-The cash
ier's check in Salt Lake is now prac-
tically obsolete. For the last two
weeks the Salt Lake banks have been
quietly retiring the paper that they
had issued during the height of the
recent panicky condition. As result
there are now only a few thousand
dollars of the checks still in circula-
ton. The banks are now on a cash
basis and as fast as the cashiers
checks appear at the banks they are
retired. 1t is hoped that within a
fortnight the securities deposited with
the clearing house association can be
Withdrawn and the entire issue OF the
osshiers' checks retired.

License Money
ISConningUp
Readily

OF oil those approached by Sheriff
X. c. Davis for the purpose of col
leoting license money for this quar-
ter, only one has so far refused alb
solutely to pay. This was A. Bali,
proprietor of stationery and supply
store at Lane City. who stated that
he would not pay the $3.50 due from
him.
Just what action will be taken in
the matter has not been determined
as yet by Mr.. Davis, but under the
statutes he can enter civil action for
the amount and in case a verdict is
returned in his favor can collect costs
OF suit and SIS in fees beside.
In case Bali should attempt to per-
sist in the course he is now taking
and tries to carry on his business
without procuring license, he is liza
BILE for a felony and can be made to
pay a fine of not less than $40 nor
more than 500.
1t is probable that Bali will be
again approached by Mr.. Davis or one
of his deputies and in case he then
refuses to pay civil action will be
brought. There is absolutely no
doubt, il is thought, that an action
will result in verdict for the county.

GoMPERS GIVES VIEWS
ON FINANCIAL MATTERS
Talks Before House Committee at
Washington.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 30.--Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor. was an inn
promptu speaker today before the
house committee on banking and cur
rency at hearing on currency legis-
lation
Said he: I'VE must meet the new
conditions confronting us as a ma
tion, and many old conceptions must
g.ve way to new conditions, vet |
cannot escape the belief thAt pro-
visions in the constitution ought to
have little more weight in the de-
termination of the nations financial
policies affecting the issuance of
money. To delegate that power to
private interests is something which,
IN my judgment is not sustained by
n proper Interpretation of the consti-
tutional provision that the govern
ment of the United States is the duly
constituted authority for the issuing
of money"
Answering question, Mr.. Com
rers said:
'One thing Is certain-no blame
can be laid at the doors of the work
ingmen of this country for the recent
financial panic. | myself advised the
workingmen not to withdraw their
savings from the banks but, on the
contrary, to deposit their hoardngs
IL the banks"

DAVIS TURNS
HAND OF
DEATH
Able to Sit Up Yesterday
and Is Now Expected
to Make Recovery.

Constable Sam Davis of McGill ap-
pears likely at this time to get well,
IN which event he need no longer
look for work of any ordinary kind.
Physicians say that he will be abund-
antly qualified to enter employment
with any one of a dozen high class
SHOWS as most remarkable example
of human endurance against the pow
crs OF ball and powder.
Davis was yesterday able to sit up
and take keen notice of what was go
Ing ON about him This is despite
the fact that only a few days ago ~
was not considered possible that he
could live. because a bullet had
i,lowed around through his interior
and thrown up furrows too numerous
to mention In half dozen localities
wnere their presence told the doctors
who worked over him that their task
was hopeless one. They seem TO
have persisted in the face of 900 to
odds, however, with most crafty
Ing results, not only to themselves,
but the medical profession at large
and Davis, particularly. The story of
his recovery from injuries will give
surgeons something to think about
everywhere and II is likely TO burden
The mails of Chief Surgeon Wallace
cf the allied interests and his staff
With numerous inquiries from won
dering brothers of the profession.
Meantime Mr.. Davis is getting
along nicely and is not bothering in
The least about his new come fame.
All that Is concerning him is the mat
ter OF complete recovery, which he
feels Is near and is as confident OF as
i, he were once more in actual trim
fol a foct race.

Halloween Night

BY Irene Reynolds. Little Sioux. Ia Red.
A crowd of boys were standing on a
street corner talking very low about the
things and jokes they were going to play
the next night, which was Halloween.
Among them was Ray Reynolds, Perry
Terry, Clint Alton and Walter Kerr. His
friends called Walter Fatty" so shall we,
for we are supposed to be his friend also.
Fatty said. What about the curfew belI9'
"oh never mind about that. We will not
go out till 10 O'clock" said Ray.
When the next night came the boys
gathered In Fatty's fathers barn and
started out to the country TO get some
things to TAX to town. but Just as they
got the wagon OF Mr.. Grey some men
grabbed the boys and they marched TO Jail.
They tied the boys hands and feet together
and then tied them to some chairs until
the next morning.
Those boys never went out on Halloween
and persuaded their friends not to go.
They have grown to be honest citizens of
the United States.

Some New Friends

BY Lula c. Pritchard, Aged 10 Years. 278l
CHARLES Street, Omaha. Blue.
When the train puffed into the station
brother Fred picked up poor sleepy Char
ley, carried him out and tucked him away
in grandfather's big market wagon with
out awakening him.
You see the ride had been a good MANY
miles and Charley was only a little chap.
But the next morning found him a wide
awake boy, ready for any fun that might
come along.
He was out in the barn first thing to
visit his old friends, for Charley came to
g%randpa's house every summer. But there
was a surprise in store for him this time,
and he found some friends that made him
almost wild with delight. over in one Of
the horse stalls he discovered old Gypsy
and seven little puppies. Charley hugged
Gyp and everyone of her little puppies.
Such good friends as they became. Char
ley could hardly leave them and taught
them lots of funny tricks. The little fell
lows soon learned to come to him when
he whistled and it was so cunning to see
them soft side by side all in a row.
Brother Fred saw them one day and much
to Charley's delight took all of their pic
lures sitting in a row, which Charley had
framed and hung in his little room.

The Witch

Nv Orian Mayes, Aged IL Years. Lusk'
Wyo. Blue.
Long ago there lived by q little brook
an old woman. She lived in a comfortable
log house which stood in the center OF a
small grassy spot with several trees
around 1t.
The brook was a very short distance
from the house, and about one-fifth OF a
mile from it stood another, but larger, log
house In which lived a man, a woman and
four children. The old woman was hardly
ever seen by them, only when she went
down to the brook to get water.
She hated children. and often when the
children came down to the brook with their
lunch and would laugh very loud, or any
thing that displeased her, she would get
very angry.
One day she found out that the children
were going to bring their dinner down by
the brook. So she dressed up and made
herself look as unpleasant as she could.
She hid herself behind some bushes. and
when the children came down she began
to make a grooming noise. The children,
looking around, saw her and ran home as
fast as they could.
They would never come down there again
to eat their lunch, and the old woman
was very glad of it.
Ever after that when the children saw
a mean'or scary looking person they would
call them a witch, and that is why children
sometimes call some people a witch.

If one had been listening outside the
barn he might have heard five young mas
culine hearts beating like sledge hammers.
But he would not have heard a single
boyish voice, for all were dumb will fear.
"a ghost-a ghost!' was all they could
think And that was quite sufficient to
cause them to become speeches..
"well, I guess silence means consent"
said the great white things voice. "And
we might as well jump into the auto

More beating of hearts, accompanied by

voice. And the long arms waved and
waved. well. I'll inviteN Fatty Thomas

Iieve."
Fatty thought his time had come. And
as is often the case, where fear at flrst
makes one speechless, 1t will produce glib
ness of tongue after a few moments OF
intense silence. Fatty found his speech
and cried out: "Oh, no, no, 10, I'm

Artificial Sunshine

BY Willie Cullen, Ex-King, Aged II Years,
1919 Webster Street, Red.
It was the first Thursday in April. April
is the month of showers and when Carl
woke up he looked out of the window and
there he saw it was pouring down rain.
Carl was all out Of sorts at once because
he had intended to go to his friends house.
But now his visit was out of the question.
At the breakfast table nothing tasted good
to him. just because he was cross. But
his little sister Grace was as happy as
she could be.
"wha makes you so cross, Carl?" said
his father.
1T always rains just when l want to
20 any place" said Carl.
well, that can't be helped" said his
father. you will have to be satisfied
whether It rains or shines"
So Carl sat down in a chair and pouted
away and he acted more of a baby than
little Grace, who was only 4 years old.
She was playing with her toys and seemed
to be quite contented.
Finally his mother came into the room
with paper, ink and pen In her hand.
Carl wondered what she was going to do
with them.
"Now go and get your old playthings or
any toys tina you are tired OF. Carl" said
his mother. 1--WE will fix them up and
send them to the little orphans home.
Carl was at once interested in this work
and he went at once to the trunk where
his toys were kept. He and his mother
sorted them out and the latter wrote a
letter and sent 1t with them in a box
when this was done Carls mother Jaw
his face radiant with joy and she said at
once that she brought the sunshine into
his face by doing a kind act.
Iittla Grace looked out Of the window
and what do you think she saw? The
ra,nbow. And in a few minutes the suns
ravs were coming in the window, but Carl
said that artificial sunshine was just as
good on a rainy day as the real sunshine
