The removal of soldiers from
Western Kentucky should be signal
for the permanent restoration OF
peace throughout this section of the
State. For months no trouble has
arisen, and it is to be hoped that no
further occasion will arise giving the
slightest excuse for the return of
troops. In a free country like this.
the people resent any attempt at
bayonet rule. and while the soldiers
were a clever lot of fellows, yet
given practically unlimited power by
a narrow minded and selfconceited
superior officer, they could not be
expected to keep themselves at all
times within their proper scope
as we'll trained militiamen, and the
Intervention OF cooler heads upon
several occasions prevented trouble
that might have been most serious.
This, no good citizen wants to see
again. II then becomes the duty of
every man to see that peace. perfect
peace. is maintained and that hap
piEess and good feeling reign SUI
preme throughout this good land OF
ours.-Cadiz Record.

GOTHAM BANKER lAD.vir.
PRESIDENT MONTGOMERY OF TIE
HAMILTON Is ACCUSED.
q Released on Rail--Charged with IT.
regular Acts While Vice Pres
ldent OF Institution.

New York.-The special grand jury
which was sworn in to investigate the
.onduct Of certain banks in New York
county returned two indictments
Wednesday against William r. Mont.
gomery, president Of the Hamilton
bank.
The charges, involving over-drafts
and Decentralization, have to do with
acts alleged to have been committed
by Montgomery while he was vice
president Of the institution. When
q. r. and O. r. Thomas retired from
their banking interests Mr.. Montgom.
cry succeeded the former In the presi-
dency. !,
The Hamilton bank suspended on
October % last. Recently the courts
decided that the receivership should
not be made permanent. The de-
cision was made the occasion Of q
joyful demonstration on the part Of
the depositors who, headed by band
of music, marched to the home Of the
president and cheered him until he
responded with a speech in which he
declared that his personal vindication
as an officer would follow the investi-
cation of the banks affairs. At the
time Montgomery had been accused Of
lax management by Receiver White.
Montgomery was present when
wanted Wednesday and in the Grim
inal branch OF the supreme court
pleaded guilty with the usual reserva-
ton of his right to change his plea
or demur to the indictments. The
$4,000 hail required, was furnished by
William H. Birkmire, a director OF
the bank. & ts9 q MI. a 81 Esa S
One, indictment charges that on
August % last Montgomery drew a
check for $12,95o. payable to b. F.
Strassburger, . Maiden Lane jeweler,
and caused It to be certified. This
transaction, It Is alleged, constituted
an overdraft Of $12,S69.
The second indictment sets, forth
that on September s, last, the defend
ant drew IA check to the order OF DR..
L. C. Warner for $4,000, at time
when the makers balance in the bank
was only $5.91s. This balance, it is
charged, had been further reduced to
$154 when the check in question was
presented three days later and was
paic by the bank.

2 LABOR STRUGGLE COMING.
Laks Lumber Carriers Decide They
Must Reduce Expenses.

Detroit, Mich.-At their annual
meeting here Wednesday the Lumber
Carriers Association of the Great
Lakes decided that it would be impos-
sible to operate their boats during the
coming season at the same expense
and under the same conditions as pre-
vailed during 1907 and appointed .
labor committee to. devise means to
improve the conditions.
This action Is generally taken to
iresage a struggle in the spring with
the various labor unions whose men,
Lsrs are employed on the boats, and
the longshoremen, and a late opening
OF the lumber carrying season.
In statement issued after the meet,
ing the association declared that most
Of it's boats were operated at a loss
for the season of 1907, some at a con.
siderable loss.

outcome. One Of the saloons was
