Governor Campbell wants cheaper
railroad fares. There are several
things the people of Texas are more
interested in just at this time than
cheaper passenger fare. For instance
little enlightment as to the opera
lions of the text book board would
be acceptable. The railroads are the
least of evils now affecting Texas.

Prominen. Man Suicides.

At 80 O'Clock Sunday night E. C.
Reeds, Sr., the wealthiest citizens of
Fulton and one of the best-known men
in Western Kentucky, committed sui
eide by shooting himself through the
head, death ensuing shortly after the
shot was fired. The act was commit
ted at his residence in North Fulton.
Mr.. Reeds had been with his family
during the afternoon and up to the
time of the shooting, and not until a
few minutes before he took his life did
he give any intimation of bis inten-
tions. A moment prior to the suicide
he told his wife he was preparing to
die, and on the face of her entreaties
entered his own room and, bracing
himself against the door, in order that
she could not follow, placed the revol-
yer against his right temple and sent
a bullet crashing through his brain.
He never regained consciousness. But
one possible reason can be assigned
for the act, and that is Reed was being
prosecuted in the local courts for the
alleged horsewhipping of young man
in his employ.

Insurance Companies Win.

The insurance companies which had
policies on the tobacco that was de-
strOyed by night riders in Russellville
won victory in the opinion just hand
ed down in the Logan Circuit Court at
Russellville, which exempts them from
liability.
The companies refused to pay the
losses on the ground that they were
exempt under that clause in the policy
which excuses them from payment of
a loss that is caused directly or indi-
rectly by riot. They insist that the
losses in question were caused by riot.
The plaintiffs, on the other hand,
contend that the clause in question did
not excuse the companies from pay
ment of loss by fire caused by riot,
but merely loss caused by the rioters
other than fire less, such as destruc-
ton OF the property by means other
than by a FIRE.

Mule Supply.

The mule supply in this section is the
scarcest known and the few that are
being sold are bringing a remarkably
nigh price, says the Maysville BuIle-
TIN. In ST. Louis, where ordinarily
pc lty of mules can be found. it is
almost impossible to purchase any and
it is claimed by those who know that
the reason is that the United States is
shipping all the mules to foreign mar
ketS.
Over 40, 600 of these animals are used
in the Panama Canal. and as the work
is hard, many of this number die every
year and have to be replaced from the
United States. 1t is believed that
this continued demand, which will go
on for several years, will keep the
price of mules up.
