won, we think a good deal of the
II ouble is of personal nature. Sup
pose the aggrieved parties retaiate
by killing some of those who have
mistreated them-for many of their
names are already known-to say
nothing of confinement in the peniten-
tiary. Would not this shock older
and discreet citizenship?
Gentlemen. you must warn the
boys of the danger and foolishness of
such conduct. 1t is the duty of all
good people to talk against and dis.
courage any and all violations of law.
Remember that law and order Is
worth more than any cause. yea,
worth more than everything else CON-
bined, for what will life and property
be worth without law to protect
them?"

A HUMBLE HERO.

Dispatches from Paducah say tina
Henry Jackson, of Christian county
says the Courier-Journal, with hi:
wife and children, have arrived Their,
after having tramped 100 miles
sleeping in the woods, in the hope OF
getting out of Kentucky. Mr. Jack
son was visited by night riders and
invited to join an expedition. He de-
lcilned TO consider the proposition. A
second invitation was declined and he
was ordered to leave the state or to
prepare for death.
1t requires exceptional courage for
a poor man with five children and no
funds to decline to join a mob when
promises immunity on the one hand
and threatens death upon the other.
Il seems that Henry Jackson had that
courage. without means of trans
portation he started, with his wife and
his children, TO walk to the Ohio
river and escape to a state where the
law. and not the lawless governs.
Sleeping in the fields and woods taxes

their children have arrived in Padu-

than that of the bravo who rides the
road by night. protected by the size
OF the pack with which he prowls, and

Ii is said in the news dispatches
that some of the children may die as
a result of the efforts of the Jacksons

on THE RIGHT SIDE.

The Galloway County Times, of
Murray, has arrayed itself on the side
OF law and order and speaks to its
people in these words:
"a detachment of state militia has
has been sent to Galloway to assist
the civil officers in putting an end to
a state of lawlessness termed night
riders which has developed in the
northwest and northeast part of our
county. While perhaps not exceed
ing 80 men have been engaged in this.
and the Times is persuaded that most
OF these are thoughtless boys. still
such things cannot exist in Galloway.
ard the solid conservative citizenship
of our county will not stand for it
or support any such conduct.
while We believe the authorities
have the matter well in hand, and
that no more depredations will occur
in this county, still It behooves every
good citizen to talk to the young
men under his influence and tell them
that these acts are fe1onious and that
sooner or later the courts of justice
will execute the laws relative thereto.
These BOYS should be taught by their
seniors that even the cutting Of tele-
phone wires Is an offense punished
with confinement in the state peniten-
tisry. We do not believe that all the
trouble in this county is based on to-
bacco, for everybody knows that
there will not be an independent prizer

BIG MASS MEETING
BIRMINGHAM CITIZENS TO GATHER
 IN THEATRE.
law and order League To Take Steps to Enforce the Prohibition Laws in Jefferson
 County.

Birmingham, Sept. 2s-tSpecial.)-- Indications point to very large croWd at the mass meeting to be held Sunaay afternoon in the Jefferson Theatre, called by the Law ond Order League, for the purpose of taking such steps as are de ed advisable to see that there is a strict enforcement of the prohibi- tion laws in Birmingham. Jefferson County and throughout the State.
 Colonel T. c. Bush. one of the well known industrial leaders of the Birm- inghami district, will preside at the meeting and there will be several we'll known men to participate and de- liver addresses Notwithstanding that the police and sheriff's departments in Birmingham and in the county have been extremely busy practically since the prohibition law went into erect, there are indications that the law IS being violated on all sides.
 The Law and Order League expects to arouse a sentiment that will bring about a good trial of the prohibition law. Advocates of prohibition say that it is a good thing for any com munity and that fair trial will con. vince any one to that effect. With steady increase in the number of blind tigers and other means of disposing of the goods placed under the ban. some radical effort Is said to be due and with that end in view. q mass meeting will be held. A committee oL 100 citizens will be created at the meeting to be held in this city Sunday afternoon, the duties of the committee to be to take such steps as will not only urge the officers to perform their duties to the letter. but will aid them when 1t is necessary to get the evid- encs. A man in uniform or known to be an officer it is set forth, finds great trouble in locating the tiger or other means of disposing of beer and liquor and the committee of 100 as proposed will make an effort to furnish the ev- idence.
 qne theatre promises to be crowded. if the weahtre is favorable. All minis ters in sympathy with the movement will make an announcement from the puipits in the morning so that the church. going people in particular will know all about the proposed mass meeting.

as the most important branch of the work. The Government has been grad ually closing the primary fnstifutions conducted by the Christian Brothers. but in every case the school is reopen cd with lay teachers who profess the same principles as the Brothers, ana the work goes on as before.
 There are certain powerful reasons for Keeping these church schools open Tn the first place. 1t would cost tre- mendous sum to suppress them totally and the Government is not prepared to make that outlay. But more than that the Government is glad to have some counter balance for the state-paid teacher who is a terrible Socialist and A tyrant at that. If the Government were to declare fer the monopoly of primary instruction the pupils would then be left wholly in the hands or the State teacher and if that class went on strike, the educational machinery or the country would be utterly disar- ranged. The Catholic schools VIII con tinue to exist to prevent that If for nothing else.

YOU CAN'T CURE CONSTIPATION

by taking purgatives, salts or other drugs that act harshly or violently upon the stomach or bowels.
 Ask any doctor, and he will tell you that purgatives of any character dis tend the bowels and weaken the elastic tissue.
 To cure constipation remove the cause. The cause of constipation is indigestion. If your food Is digested properly 1t would continue on from the stomach through the bowels, and would be eliminated without effort and with regularity.
 Mi-o-na tablets cure constipation by curing your indigestion. It is not a purgative. It is a stomach tonic and more-it tones up. strengthens, in- vigorates. refreshes and injects new life into the worn out muscles of the stomach, and in short time makes the stomach hardy enough to digest any thing you eat. It is a powerful yet harmless stomach tonic. and Its resist less influence on the stomach is aston ishing.
 Try Mi-o-na for constipation. One box will cure you of indigestion; two boxes will relieve you of constipation; and best of all. Mi-o-na is such an economical remedy, A large box only costs 50 cents and then, if yo. are not satisfied with results E. c, Fowler. the druggist will give you your money back.
 Mi-o-na cures all stomach disorders whether acute or chronic. such as dys- pepsia. vomiting, over-indulgence of the night before, sea or car sickness. stomach sickness of prospective moth CTS. etc.
 Read this from the president of New York corporation:
 q have been a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia and gastritis for two years. The most eminent physicians prescribed for me with no effect. I have been ab- soIutely cured by your Mi-o-na tablets.
