log with Co. X, numbering 81 men,
for darlington to take part in the
rifle range meet Of the Third Ken
lucky Infantry. In their march to
the depot the boys, as they passed
the Record-Press office, put up a
good showing and looked as if they
could stand camp life on "hard tack -
as well as any Of them. Capt. Hen

Golconda tells his brother-in-law Lee
Yeakey day or two ago that actual
work was in progress on the new rail
road building from Golconna up the

inside sources he had also learned that
this road was heading for Cave-in-
Rock where, in due time the system
promulgating the scheme expect to
bridge the Ohio river and run out to
Marion, Ky, via the famed Critten-
den Springs, as now a vast summer
resort with large hotel, crowded at
this very time with visitors, mostly
from Evansville and Louisville-yet
this new line is designed to open this
great wateringT;place more advanta-
geously to ST. Louis and Chicago soci-
ETY. people. 1t is miles due south of
Cave-in-Rock. This was good news to
Mr.. Yeakev who owns the Cave-in
Rock near where the north piers of
the contemplated bridge will rest on
soled limestone. Mr.. Curry also says
the railroad force now above Golconda
are doing their work effectively for an
immediate and solid road-bed, making
it one hundred feet wide and digging
and tearing all trees out by the roots
so there would be no depression in the
later and thus no fills to make in con-
sequence. Hurah! Hardin iii. Era.

Public Utilities Bill
THE Kansas larisIature has sne

The Kansas legislature has spent
a great deal of time over this bill
and the Governor has been insistent
On its passage.
The people have expected this
Legislature to pass some kind of q
bill that would give the state rea-
sonable control of these great cor
porations of the state that often ride
high handed over the rights of the
people and fatten on the hard
earned dollars of their dupes.
Some kind of measure to hold
the guilty in check and not hart the
innocent was needed and was de-
manded by the people and was
promised by the Republicans during
the campaign of last fall.
1t now seems that the measure
has been sidetracked and can no,
become law, this session.
Our judgment is that tho party
has failed to keep that much of its
pledge and will hear from the peo-
pie when the time comes.
We did not want a bill that would
work hardship or an injustice on
any legitimate enterprise, conducted
IN a legitimate way, but we did want
an act that would restrain evil mind
ed and speculative corporations
from doing an injustice to the
people.

OUR FLEET.

The great American fleet has en-.
circled the world and returned to
the place of starting. This trip has
cost the people of this country an
immense amount of money, yet we
believe it was money we'll spent and
will return big interest on the in
vestment.
We have introduced ourselves to
the great Commercial world in a
way we never have been known be-
fore.
The people of the world have
heard us and many thousands have
seen our great Naval display. We
have won the respect of the world
and inspired confidence in our sea-
men and navy. Such trip on such
gigantic scale was never before
planned or executed. The old
powers said it could not be done
without great loss and damage 10
our vessels. Our ships return to us
in better shape than they left us, a
little more than year ago, without
the loss of one or any serious dam
age to single one.
The men have had over a solid
year in drill and practice. They
have seen the world and become
acquainted with its principal ports
A wholesome respect for eur navy
has been established among the
maritime powers, and the danger o.
war diminished. Friendships amonl
nations have been secured and &
better feeling established. All tolt
the trip was great success and will
rebound to the credit and glory o.
this nation.

considerable property damage wa'
done but no lives lost.
Arkansas did net fare so well. A
tornado struck the little town OF
Fisher in that state and destroyed
every house but two. Six people
are reported killed aud score or
more hurt. The damage in the
surrounding country is reported as
serious.
A storm also struck in the vicinity
of Evansville, Ind, doing a great
deal Of damage to houses, barnes.
etc. It is reported to have killed
and injured a great deal of stock.

HORRID SLAUGHTER.

A man by the name of Henry M.
Hanson, farmer, living near the
village of Strum, Wis killed his
four children, ranging in age from
to ID Years, stabbed a number OF
head of his stock, poured paris
green in the hog trough, saturated
his house and barn with kerosene,
and set them afre. then, by the sids
of his murdered children cut his
throat.
Neighbors dragged his body from
the burnirg building but the bodies
of the chlldren were cremated.
He had an older daughter who
was away from home and thus
escaped death. Hanson was a
widower and was, doubtless, insane.
He had been in the asylum at enc
time.

THE PRIMARY.

Next Tuesday will be held the
first Republican primary, under the
new law. The Republicans who
are registered will have the priv
lege of voting for their favo:ite can
didates for the various city off
We hope suitable men will be nomi
mated all over the city that no Re
publican need be forced to'vote for
a Democrat unless he so choose.
1t is very evident now that many
Republicans are not going to be
bound by party caucus, this year.
The Democrats, very wisely, made
no nominations and hope to slip in
a few of the faithful on the indie
pendent ticket.
1t is good men we want in these
places. We are somewhat of a
Republican and believe there are
just as good men in the Republican
party as in any other party and our
inclination is very much towards
the Republican nominees but, like
hundreds of other good Republi.
cans, and an ever growing class,
should our party so far forget itseli
as to nominate mea for public
places that are untitled for the place,
either morally or otherwise, we will
not feel bound to support the
ticket.

The Fair.

There is still talk that we may have
an old fashioned county fair in Cha
aute this year after all, We hope the
management will decide to have on
and that the citizens of the town asd
farmers Will unite in one great big
effort to make it success.
When we undertake to have a 4th
uf July celebration here the mer.
chants respond to the call for money,
nobly, and hundreds of dollars are
raised. Why would not a big fair OF
bwo or three days be a better thing
for the town and more enjoyment and
profit to the country people?
We would suggest that the mer-
chants and business men be canvassed
for donations with>the understanding
that all who donate s5 or more are to
have card in the premium list free.
Then the management OF the fair is
20 be Instructed that 1t is a fair we
want and not a horse race
Of course there must be some racing
but the main force OF the effort is to
be expsn1ed In an old fashioned agri-
cultural fair. with premiums sufficient
to pay farmers and Others the ex-
pense Of making an exhibit.
We believe the people will take
hold Of the matter and make it 20,
and that everybody will be pleased
with the effort. Let's Try IL?

WON'TPAYTO WORRY'BOUTIT.

A number of people are beginning
to knock on the legislature because
enly a few laws have been run
through hopper and the session is
more than half ended. 1t looks as
if the legislature might end without
any laws of much importance get
ting past the governor and onto the
statute book.
Well, don't lose any sleep worry.
ing on that account. There are
several things that we would like TO
see enacted inte law but if none of
them are we don't propose to sit up
nights worrying on account of the
legislature to do the things we think
ought to be done. Suppose THAI
not single bill was passed barring
the absolutely necessary approPrl-
alton bills to keep the state institu-
tions running, don't you really think
that people would be just about as
happy as they will be no matter
what laws are placed on the statute
book2
If the statute book could be trim :
med down to a few simple statutes
embodying the Golden Rule, in
other words providing for a square
deal for every citizen, aad the laws
made so short and plain that any
man with a moderate degree of sense
could understand them and then
left that way it might be q good
deal better than II is Aow. The
fact is that we are SO much of the
time engaged in tinkering with 1ou'
laws, adding to them and changing
the language and meaning of tht
ones that have already passed tha
the average man can hardly be ex
pected to know what the law is o.
what he is required to do. In fac
he doesn't know and yet he is, re
quired to obey.
So we are not worrying a grea
deal about what the legislature will
do. If they don't get anything
worth mentioning done we will g
on and try to be reasonably happy
feeling certain that there is al
element of chance in any law tina
may be passed. There is as mucl
likelihood that a new law will b,
unsatisfactory as that it will prov,
popular,
There is this to be said for tn,
present legislators. They are, gen
orally speaking, an industrious lot
They work more hours per day ant
cut out less days than any set 0
legislators we have ever seen
They are considerably given to tall
and spend good of time in earnes
if ineffective wind jamming, bu
they seem to be trying to do th'
best they can. Therefore IVORY
not. If the crops are good and tn;
prices fair next year it will make
mighty little difference to tht
average citizen what this Legislature
does or doesn't do.
