0laton's Young Hero.

TO Master Beokham Stone, the s
year old son OF foreman John Stone,
is given the credit of having saved
at least one life, that of young Stan
ley Stearsmnm, aged about two years,
who fell into the water and would
have drowned but for the quick and
thoughtful work of his playmate.
Since the recent rains, the water at
this place is very high, and late Tues
day afternoon several children had
gone to the water mill to watch the
logs and timbers floating down the
creek when little Stanley fell into
the water, but fortunately the cur
rent was not swift enough to carry
him away. The heroic work of this
playmate saved the child from death
In the muddy waters.

An Important Suit Decided.

The Suit of ]. P. Stevens against
the town of Beaver Dam Yves decided
by the Court of Appeals, Tuesday, in
favor of Mr. Stevens. The suit grew
out of a controversy between Mr..
Stevens and the town, relative to the
salary of the former. 1t was tried
in the Ohio Circuit Court last August
and was then determined in favor of
Mr.. Stevens, but the town carried
the case to the Court of Appeals. Mr.
Stevens had been Marshall of the
town of Beaver Dam, for a number Of
years at a fixed salary and when a
new board of trustees We're elected
this new board made no order with
reference to his salary, but when Mr..
Stevens presented his claim for same,
1t was refused on the ground that the
board of trustees had not authorized
the payment of any salary Mr.. Stevens
filed suit in the Circuit Court which
resulted as before stated.
BY this decision of the Court of APP
peals, the town will have to pay the
salary sued for as we'll as salary for
the term for which Mr. Stevens serv-
ed. together with the cost of this lit

May Build Bridge at Henderson.

Information which is stated to be
from a most reliable source, is to the
effect that the Illinois Central rail-
road will most assuredly build a
bridge across the Ohio at a point near
the city of Henderson and the
monster undertaking will, it is
understood, begin not later than
one year from date, and very likely
much sooner. 1t Is known positively
that party of surveyors were In the
city for some days last fall, and that
while there they surveyed a route
Through the country near Parkland-
Much material has been placed along
this route, and everything points to
the building of ire bridge, which
will in all probability be q double
track one.
Some two years ago lost June ru-
NOR had it that a deed TO a fifty foot
right of way across one of TIE is
lands near the city led been filed in
the county clerks office, but no in
formation could be obtained showing
directly that the |. c. was behind
the scheme, as the deed Is In the nam
of another road. This last informa-
ton, however, seems to be reliable.

SHARP fight over
Income TAX.
Strong Effort to Garry
Amendment to Tariff.
Organization Leaders Declare
Minority Party Not Unit
ed on the Plan.

Washington, April 21.-It is evident
from the activity of opponents and
antagonists Of the income tax propos-
ition to ascertain the strength of the
other that this question will furnish
the sharpest contest to be waged In
the Senate during the tariff revision
session of Congress.
In view of the fact that the Demo-
Gratis are said to be unanimous for
an income tax measure, the leaders of
the "insurgent" Republican faction ap-
pear to be confident of victory.
On the other hand, opponents of the
income tax Idea say the Democrats
are not united, and declare that some
of the insurgent strength for addi-
tional internal taxes will be lost the
moment Senators are convinced the
pending bill will produce sufficient
revenues for the needs of the govern
ment.
Among the Republicans declared to
be in favor of an income tax are
Senators Borah, Brown, Burkett ,Clapp,
Crawford, Cummins, Dixon, Gamble,
Guggenheim, Lafollette and Nelson.
In addition to these some Of the in
surgents are claiming Senator Jones,
Hepburn, Johnson, of North Dakota,
and Dolliver. If the votes of all of
these Senators SHOULD be cast for an
income tax provision, they would be
more than sufficient to pass 1t in the
Senate unless a break should occur in
the Democratic ranks.
The burden of Senator Aldrich's
speech in TIE Senate yesterday was
en- effort to show that additional in
ternal taxes are not needed to pro-
vide for the operating expenses of the
government. His argument came as
a surprise to many Senators, for it
had been accpeted as true that more
revenues than the pending bill would
raise are to be required annually for
the next few years at least. It Is de-
clared that some of the doubtful Re
publican again became supporters of
the amended bill.
Leaders Of both factions were busy
on the floor canvassing the Senate
for and against the income tax meas
ure.

Graded School at Centertown.

The election at Centretown last Sat
urday on the question Of establishing
a graded common school In accordance
with boundaries given resulted In ia
vor of its establishment, the vote be-
ing GA In favor thereof and 32 against
It. The vote carried with Vt the elec-
ton of five trustees. Viz: Brnde Nor
ton, Virgil Bishop, Foster McKenny, ]
B. Maddox and Lee Mason, also the
levy of $3.50 poll tax and 5Oc ON 800
property. The question of location
was also determined by the vote,
which resulted In the choice OF the
high hill south of Centetown as a To-
cation. 1t Is reported that this selec-
ton of sight Is the only serious objec-
tiion that has been offered to the re-
suit of the election and in fact was
the only serious objection to the es-
adjustment of the school. This howev-
er can probably be changed by the trus-
tees or df NOT by consent of the pa
irons of the school.
The establishment of the Graded
school at Centertown means much for
the place. 1t places the school in line
for acquiring one of the county high
schools which may be established un-

ALL IS BUSY PREPARING
FOR Commencement.
Diversion in Program Noted for
the Close of Term of
Hartford College.

A splendid series of varied enter
tainments is being carefully prepared
by teachers and pupils of all depart
ments for Commencement week of
Hartford College. Every effort is be-
ing put forth to make the features Of
this commencement popular, attractive
ard entertaining.
A departure will be made from the
accustomed routine of exercises. On
Monday night, May 10th, the teach
ers and pupils of the first four grades
will give an entertainment. On Tues
day night the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades will present a well prepared
program. Wednesday evening will
be devoted to a spirited declamatory
contest. Nine well trained contest
ants, with choice and up-to-date Sc
lections, will battle for the gold med
al to be awarded to the successful
competitor. The graduates will APP
pear before the public Thursday night
in one of the most amusing dramas of
the day.
A noted humorist and character de-
lineator of many years experience in
platform lecturing has been engaged
for Friday night, May 14th. He will
deliver a popular address, filled with
wit, humor and philosophy, which, it
is said, has charmed and convulsed
with laughter every audience before
whom 1t has been delivered.
Excellent music which is being spe-
cially prepared for the occasion, will
be interspersed in all programs. 1t
will consist OF piano solos and duets
vocal solos and duets choruses, and
popular melodies sung by two male
qu9rtettes.
1t is the earnest desire of the school
to thoroughly equip a school library
with carefully selected books for sup
plimentary reading in the grades
for general reading, and for reference
in connection with the work done in
each subject taught in the high school.
Such a library has been keenly felt
need OF the school for many years and
1t is hoped that patrons and friends OF
the college will so literally patronize
the series of entertainments that an
excellent library can be equipped and
thus wipe out forever, Diamonds Dick

to mention, which are positively ruiz

FOR The BUSY READER.

Gov. Wilson has decided to put In
the biggest part OF his working hours
this week in the examination and dis
position of the many applications for
pardons that have been presented to
him.
After a recess of six weeks the
Tennessee Legislature reconvened in
Nashville. There are only thirteen
days remaining of the session, and
a vast amount of work is to be crowd
ed into that time.
Insanity both at the time of the
killing of William f. Annis and since
then will be the chief point in the de-
Tense in the trial of Capt. Peter c.
Hams, Jr., charged with the murder
of Annis on August 10 last.
DR.. d. X. Pearsons, of Chicago. has
given 5000 to Berea College. The
money will be used to erect a new
boys dormitory. This is Dr. Parsons
third donation to the institution, the
three aggregating $4,000.
Col. James w. Caperton, of Rich
mond, one of the leading lawyers and
financiers of the State, died after
an illness OF two weeks. Col. Caper-
ton was Sc years old and had been
the friend of many men of national
reputation.
A street car motorman of St. Louis
has informed James Shepard Cabanne,
Jr., that he saw the kidnapped boy in
a restaurant with a stranger and reco
nized the youngster from his picture.
Tee search for the little fellow has
been thus far without avail.
Chief interest in the United States
Senate is now conferred in TIE fight
over the income tax. As the matter
now stands enough Republicans favor
the amendment to carry 1t with the
aid of the solid Democratic vote, but
Senator AldTich may corral enough of
the insurgents to alter the situation.
Judge Adams Tuesday refused to
grant a continuance for Beach Har-
gis, charged with the murder of mis-
father. Han gis' attorneys asked for
continuance because the chief coun-
sci for the defense, United States
Senator Bradley, was not present, and
also claiming that the feeling against
the defendant was too intense to al
low q fair trial

Pardon Refused Emmett Wells.

Effort to secure pardon for Em-
NETT Wells have proved futile. Gov
ernor Wilson having refused Monday
to grant the petition for pardon Wells
was convicted four or five vars ago
ON the charge of crimnally assault
ing Bette Lee Huff and sentenced to
twenty years in the penitentiary. He
Rad been resident of Daviess county
most of his life. Securing signatures
to petition for his pardon was begun

and r. E. l. Hardin we're appointed
a committee on constitution and by
laws.
The constitution reported was
quite lengthy and dealt principally
upon the duties of officers of the
association which was named.
The Kentucky Wool Growers
Union, No. 2, is the title of the COM
bination and the constitution pro-
vides for the economical and profit
able marketing of sheep husbandry,
including wool, mutton, live or
dressed, and lambs by putting into
force rules for the storing and mar
keting of such products.
The association is 10 remain an
auxiliary OF the Society of Equity.
One per cent. per pound on wool and
2 per cent. on sales Of lambs, NUT
ton and sheep are to be charged to
conduct the sales. AS several coun-
ties in the State have heretofore
pooled their wool advantageously
and as the tobacco pool was a sue
cess. the Society of Equity now pur-
poses not only to pool the wool in
Kentucky, but eventually all other
agricultural products.

fire DESTROYS
TOBACCO FACTORY.
Vaughan Plant at Owens.
boro Burns to Ground.
Loss is Sl5O,000, Nearly Cover
ed by Insurance, Panic
Among the Employees.

Owensboro, KY, April 20.-The large
tobacco plant owned by J. M. Vaughan
containing over 100000 pounds OF
tobacco. was burned to the ground to-
day, entaildng loss of $15O,OOO' with
insurance to the amount of $116, 500.
The plant was a frame structure -four
stories high, with brick and stone
foundations, and was one Of the most
modern In Kentucky. The fire ordgf-
mated in the drying room and spread
With unusual rapidity. In less than am
hour the entire plant was involved
in flames and the efforts of the fire
men 10 subdue the blaze were futile.
They then directed their attention
TO saving the nearby buildings. r. E.
OFlynn's factory, across the street
from the Vaughn factory, would have
burned had 1t not been for the fact
that a heavy rain fell last night and
thoroughly soaked the wallis of the
plant.
There were $50 hands working in
the factory at the time of the fire.
When the alarm was sounded a pan
ic ensued and a mad rush was made
for the doors. None was seriously
injured.
Two school buildings are in the
nedghborhood and the children became
greatly excited, and it was with diff
ficulty that they were restrained from
leaving the buildings. One school
dismissed. Many of the parents of
the children were employed at the
factory.
The tobacco was bought by Mr..
Vaughan for himself and dealers In
the United States and in England. 1t
was of the highest grade.
Mr.. Vaughn Is one OF the best-know
tobaccondsts of Kentucky and has al
ways had the good will Of the grow
ers. Mr.. Vaughan will make arTange-
ments to rebuild his factory at once
at the same site.
The fine originated from drying
machine in whet Is known as the
cooling noom. Just what was the
cause Of 1T has not been asceTtadned,
and probably never will be. The
machine was filled with thoroughly
dry tobacco, and this was in 6lames
when the man operating the machin-
cry discovered that there was some
thing wrong. 1t Is regarded as prob
able that ''hot box on one of the
journals caused ignition, but no trou-
BILE of this kind had ever been experi-
enced with the machine.
A horse, the property of ]. A. Lash
& Son, hitched to a telephone pole
more than two blocks down the
street, was absolutely frightened to
death. While he stood trembling in
fright from the effect of smoke and
flames, the fire engine dashed by
him at full speed, and the sidewalks
were thronged with excited people
running to the fire. The animal
made no attempt to break loose or
run away, but stood still trembling,
till he dropped dead in his tracks.

During the past week the land
firms of Frank Preston and the
Loveland Company of Minnea-

here looking over lands in this
section with the result that
several tracts of land have been
sold to men who will become
actual settlers, The land sold
is all adjacent to this city and
some of it is very choice.
1t is now predicted that the
coming season will be one of the
best that we have experienced
in this section and a large
amount of land will be sold.
Already many inquiries are be
ing received from parties who
have learned of the possibilities
of this region. Many Of those
coming to this section will en-
gage in the fruit business on a
large scale.

The Annual Equalization and
Levy Will be Made at
That Time.

The annual meeting of the
County Board will be held at the
office of the County Clerk next
Tuesday. Com mittees have been
busy all week getting reports in
shape for presentation, and
everything will be in shape when
Chairman Bergman calls his of-
fetal family together next Tues
day morning. The most impor-
tant business of the session is
that of equalizing the property
Of the county, and making the
levies for the year. The appor-
tionment of state and county
taxes to the towns is all based on
the equalized value of the proper
ty and there is always a great
fight on this proposition. All
bills which have been accumulat-
ing during the year are audited
by different committees before
the meeting and these reports
are presented to the full board.
1t is not likely that the board
will be in session more than one
day.
