has met a fate more cruel and tragic.
perhaps, than even his worst enemies
could have wished. That a man should
be mercilessly shot to death on his
own premises, by the hand OF his own
and only son, is indeed an awful end.
Fighting for years to escape assassi-
nation, yet he died by the deed OF
an assassin sprung from his own
loins. If he slnned grievously, he
has paid the price with a terrible
penalty. He has gone to a higher
tribunal, beyond the ken of mortal de-
cree, for eternal judgment. Let us
draw the veil of charity over the scope
of his tragic life, trusting in the JUS
tice and mercy OF Him who knoweth
all things best, and from whose right
eous decree there is no appeal.

Revolution In Taxpayink.

The manner in which the taX-pay-
ers of the county are now educated
in promptness in paying their taxes,
makes the Sheriff's office quite a
different position to what it was some
years ago. The legislature Of 1906
passed a revenue law that has
wrought the change and brought so
much relief to Kentucky sheriffs.
Now adequate penalties are provided
for Ionpayment by November LIST of
each year, and when this penlaty is
added to the cost and commission it
makes it imperative on all men of
prudence to avoid the extra cost. The
result is more prompt payment in this
county than was ever known before.
If none of these warnings are head
ed it is only a matter of few weeks
until a tax warrant issues and the
Sheriff goes after the property and
sells At as he would any other
property under judgment of court.
The people were just a little slow to
realize at first that such a radical
change had taken place in the pay
ment of their taxes, but this year they
know the consequences of the failure,
and the result is a very small number
who have to be advertised as delin-
Clarion.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured byHall's

The Republican spirit of rule in
Kentucky is a spirit of war and strife,
of gatling guns and soldiers bayo-
nets. The leaders of this party seem
to want to shoot the people into sub
mission to authority. Gov. Bradley
at the outset of his Goyernorship, was
quick to call out the military. Tay-
lor, during his short but riotous rule,
was surrounded, at his own behest, by
more soldiery than any executive who
ever occupied the Govrnor's chair In
Kentucky. Gov. Wilson is follow
ing up this spirit OF cannon-ball and
bullet rule in characteristic style. II
is a spirit that is foreign TO all true
Kentuckians. They are a people OF
peace, If rightly approached-a people
who do and will obey the law. But
they cannot be bluffed nor shot into
submission.

Why not, according to the ideas OF
some people, name the ticket Bryan
and Roosevelt and be done with all
the trouble? The great majority OF
all Democrats would vote it for Bry-
ans sake and a very large contingent
of the Republican party would sup
port ii, some for the sake of Roosevelt
and others for the purpose of laying
him on the shelf. And the fellows
who wouldn't support it-then where
would they be %at"? Why wouldn't
this ticket go whizzing to victory
just like a gun blown into asserts

effect?

that Mr.. Roosevelt has purloined

policy prominently incorporated into
law that was not of Democratic ORR
gin.

CLEARS THE COMPLEXION
OVERNIGHT,
PimpIes, Rash, Eruptions, Etc,
Quickly Eradicated by New
Skin Remedies

Since its discovery one year ago,
poslam, the new skin remedy, has, in
its extraordinary accomplishments, eX-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations
of the eminent specialist who gave il
to II world. 1t has cured thousands
of cases of eczema ana eradieated ia
cial and other disfigurements of years
standing. The terrible itching attend
ing eczema is stopped with the first
application, giving proof of its curative
properties at the very outset.
In less serious skin affections, such
as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads,
acne, BARRIERS itch, etc, results show
after an overnight application, only a
small quantity being required to effect
a cure. A muddy or sallOW complexion
is nOticeably improved by a single ap-
plication. Those who use pOslam for
these minor skin troubles can now
avail themselves Of the special 50-cent
package, recently adopted TO meet
such needs. Both the 50-cent package
and the regular g. jar may now be OBJ
tanned in Salt Lake City at the F. J.

stores.

increase in freight rates is contemplated
by the railroads. a meeting of the com
mittee on railways and transportation of
the Commercial club is to be held at noon
today.
The purpose of The meeting is to ar
range for the securing. if possible, of
definite information concerning whether
the railroads running into Salt Lake will
be affected by the increase in freight
rates.
Ii is said that if it is found that freight
rates here are to be advanced. steps will
be taken to oppose the plans of the rail
roads. as il was maintained last night
an informal gathering at the Commercial
club that an addition to the present rates
would be ruinoHs to some Salt Lake in
terests and would be serious hardship
to all classes of shippers.
TOdays meeting Will be in line with the
action taken by commercial bodies IN
other cities.
A variety of important interests will
be represented by the members of the
committee on railways and transporta-
ton. The committee is as follows:
