Now, Taft was enjoying
An aeroplane flight,
And skimming around
Like the man swallow Wright,
When who should appear,
Holding fast to his hat
And sailing the sky,
But the man from the Platte.
Said fat Bill to Platte Bill,
ssNow, isn't this great?''
Said Bryan, "You bet
Is my rndder on straight"
And the wind coming up
With slight show of buster,
They both skidded off
Through the air belly buster.
And while they were flying
About mile high,
The Roosevelt entry
Emitted cry;
And Bryan, supposing
He'd dropped from the race,
Slowed up with Mortified
Look in his face.
But Taft was just floating
"My motors gone out!
Now, hand me match
When you next come about!"
But Bryan just laughed,
And he said, "My dear speeder,
Remember that
Am the great match1ess leader"
October is from the Latin octo,
eight. 1t was the eighth
month Of the old Roman calendar.
This brought oysters in at the end of
when they had to be candled
like eggs, and the Oyster Trust al
ways cornered the supply in cold
storage. But Rome, like every other
nation, had a reformer not too often
for reasonable profits in business, and
when Numa Pompilius came into
power insSl3 B. G. he made October
the tenth month and busted the
oyster trust. He was idolized by a
grateful populace, and was only re-
to private life in his later
days that he might crafty his desire
to hunt big game in Africa.
The presidential race will reach
Three quarters of a mile,
And both the Bills will hit it up
In good old fashioned style.
The Platte will shake his big brog-
ans !
p And put up dust and dirt,
The gaint Taft will grunt and
sweat
And rip his undershirt,
The plaudits of the multitude
Will rise in mighty peals,
And the watchful Teddy Bear will
nip
At William Howard's heels.
The pink mudguards of Sunny Jim
will catch the frost descending, aud

The pink mudguards of Sunny Jim
will catch the frost descending, aud
turn fine autumnal red, with the
burning sumac blending; the frost
will thin out Mr.. Kern's elaborate chin
thicket, and each of these hair bear
ing tails will go some on his ticket.
The frost will paint the sassafras a
deep and glowing red,. and the farm
hand will resume his howl for blank
cts on his bed. The plant exuded
phosphorus will gossamer the air, the
stiff rheumatic will put on his wind
proof underwear, the southwark
moving ducks will quack upon the
reeded lakes, and man will line him
self inside with buttered flannel cakes.
The women will parade beneath the
big sky -scraper hats, and guy lines
strung to steady y3them will anchor in
their rats; and every time the wind
blows brisk, with many screams and
squeals, they'll all turn turtle and will
fan the azure with their heels
The camper will unto the woods
To live the life of Crusoe
And the quail will balance on
rail
And whistle like Caruso.
The poor hay fever patient will re-
turn from his retreat, and every time
his nose goes off and honks upon the
street, we'll scramble for the nearest
curb as fast as we can dart, believing
that his lHsty sneeze is some skidoodle
cart.
The candidate will press his suit and
tell his little jokes while he is hand
ing out cigars they name for famous
folks; and notwithstanding all the
harm this sort of smoke has done US,
we'll all waltz up again and try his
deadly Mrs. Guinness.
After the 26th October will be
under the influence of the zodiacal
sign Scorpio the crustacean. Persons

HENDERSON JOURNAL
Assigns to o. v. B. & T.
Company.

The Journal Company, publisher
of the Henderson evening journal,
gave a deed of assignment Wednes-
day to the Ohio Valley Banking and
Trust Company, for the benefit of its
creditors, says the Cleaner. The
assignor turns over to the assignee
all its property, including the ma
chinery and the newspaper itself,
and it is probable that the publica-
ton will be continued under the
management Of the assignee.
Several DAYS ago Edward A. Jonas
was reported as having resigned the
editorship of the Journal and placed
the management of the plant in the
hands of c. E. Dallam and others.

PADUCAH REFUGEES
Go to Kuttawa to Consult
About Night Riders
Cases.

Paducah, KY, July 23.-Answer-
ing a telegram from County Attor-
ney W. L. Krone, of Kuttawa, San
ford Hall and T. H. Stephens, wit
nesses in night rider prosecutions,
who are staying in Paducah for
safety, left for Kuttawa to hold a
consultation with Mr.. Krone. They
returned but would not talk about
the object of their visit. Hall init.
mated that they would not remain
much longer in Paducah. 1t is
thought that their hurried visit to
Kuttawa had some connection with
the raids Tuesday night by night
riders when three Illinois Central
railroad stations were burned.

Not for some time has Mr.. Bryan
spent such busy day. His callers

a solid front, but that they must
continue to keep on the firing line
until the very day of election.

ducah, has recently passed through
some blood-curdling experiences,
says a Paducah dispatch. Accused
of being traitor to the organiza-
ton OF night riders, he was con-
demned to death and detail of nine
men went to his house on the night
of July l3 and took him seven miles
from his home to murder him. Two
OF the men left the band on the way
and the other seven took him to an
old well, bound him with wires and
a chain and fastened rocks to him
and were about to throw him in the
well when Stephens convinced them
that he was innocent of the charge
OF being an informer. After long
talk the night riders released their
victim and he returned to his home
near Lamasco. Next night the night
riders in large force came back to
get him and carry out the death
sentence, but Stephens had sent his
family away and was lying out in the
woods and saw them go to his house
and shoot it up. Some of them hap
pened to see him moving behind
some bushes and he had an exciting
race for life. He finally escaped by
his superior knowledge of the coun-
try and made his way on foot to Pa
ducah, As miles. He travelled day
and night without anything to eat.
His wife followed him to Paducah
and his children are being taken
care of by friends.
Stephens is of course afraid to re-
turn to his former home until peace
is restored in the tobacco district.

Circuit Court of Appeals Re-
verses Judge Landis'
Decision.
HARD FOUGHT CASE.
In Which the Standard Was
Fined in the Sum of
500, $40, 900.

Chicago, July 24.-By unanimous
opinion of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals of the Seventh dis
trict the case of the Government
against the Standard Oil Company,
in which the latter was fined $780,
24O, 900 by Judge Lands in the Dis
trict Court, must be retired. This
opinion, concurred in by Judges
Baker and Seaman, was delivered in
Chicago by Judge Grosscup.
The Government has thirty days
in which to file petition for a re-
hearing and it will be filed within
&he allotted period.
In the event rehearing is denied,
the Government may go to trial on
the original indictment containing
1.462 counts-an action which Dis
trict Attorney Sims could be ready
to take within two weeks-or upon
any one of seven other indictments
containing 4,422 counts. AS a vast
amount of work has been done on
these cases just decided it is unlikely
that an entirely new case will be in
stituted. The record of the present
case contains over million and a
half words, and is estimated to have
cost the Government 100000.

DEPOTs MAY NOT BE REBUILT
Gano Warder, Former Gracey
Marshal, Arrested On Night
Rider Charge.

AS a result of the destruction OF
three of their depots by night riders
the Illinois Central railroad Wednes-
day afternoon issued orders that no
trains should be run on the Hopkins
Vile Princeton division of the road
that night. The accommodation pas
senger train, scheduled to leave here
for Princeton at 6:25 o'clock, went
goes out full hour earlier.
Strict orders were also issued to
all crews that all bridges and tres
ties should be carefully examined
before the trains should pass over.
The destruction of the depots at
Otter Pond, Cerulean and Gracey
Wednesday morning was followed
by the burning early Thursday morn
ing of the boxcar at Otter Pond used
as temporary station by the agent,
S. j. Lester.
The details of this outrage have
not yet been received. The box car
was burned during the night. An
other one was taken to Otter Pond
Thursday and was not molested that
night. The regular schedule inter-
rupted was resumed Thursday night,
though very slow run was made,
the 6:25 train not reaching Princeton
until 1906. There are no telegraph
offices over this line of 81 miles and
there was some apprehension felt
until the safe arrival of the train
was reported.
Supt. A. H. Egan, of the l. c.,
was here Thursday and said no inn
mediate steps would be taken to re-
build the depots burned. Box cars
will be used until conditions become
settled. 1t was strongly intimated
that the question of withdrawing
trains altogether from this division
was to be seriously considered in the
event of further outbreaks.
The conditions were improved yes
terday and no troubles have been re-
ported for twenty-four honrs.
Another small detachment of SOL
diers from Madisonville has been adj
ded to the detail at Cobb.
Gano Warder Arrested.
County Judge c. 0. Prowse issued
a warrant Thursday for the arrest
of Gano M. Warder, charging him
with confederating for the purpose
of injuring a person or persons in
the Hopkinsville raid. He is already |
under Indictment for confederating |
to destroy and destroying property,
and has been under bond of 1000
since shortly after he was arrested
in June. He was arrested by Depu-
BY Sheriff John Boyd and taken to
Jail in default of bond, which was
ixed at 81 800 by Judge Prowse.
j. G. Hord, one of his bondsmen,
also withdrew from the 81 900 bond.

In MemOrialn.

The Angel of Death has visited an other home and plucked one of it's sweetest flowers, when it called home Mrs. Lucy Gadberry, who was born November ,, 1881, and was married to J. T. Gadberry, May 6, 1899, and pro- fessed religion and joined the Baptist church August IS, 1907, her member ship being held at Colt.
 She lived happily until October 9th, 1908, when God saw fit to call her home Just as she was entering the brighter day of womanhood, by some mysterious providence, she was snatched away from those that held her so dear. But if we could lift the veil from our eyes and view her with those loved ones who have crossed over the river of death, would We call her back? All, no. We could never call her back to this troubled world, for her sutlerings are over and her troubles are ended. She has gone to wear a crown and be with the angels forever. For many weeks she had been going down towards the dark valley of death, fading slowly but surely, when He who had given came and took her away. Oh. it Is a sad hour when death steals in and claims one We love. Oh. how hard to bid her the last farewell. But heart broken friends, with sad hearts. we stood by her side trying by every earthly means to drive back the dread messenger. But God knows best. and our pre- cious one fell asleep in the arms of Jesus to awaken in heaven. Weep not, loved ones. as those who have nc hope, but rest assured that all is well with her and let us try to live so that when we shall come to the hour of death We may be able to say that all k well.
 She leaves a husband and three children, father and mother, three brothers and a sister to mourn her loss. Sorrow not for she has only paid debt that all must pay, but they should realize that she has only left this world of sorrow and gone home where death will never knock at the door. A FRIEND.
