IN OUR OWN STATE
Fatal Riot in State, CapitaI-S2oo,o 600
Loss in SheIbyvllle Fire.-Senator
Bradley Speaks in Richmond
Frankfort Prisoner Escapes.

FIGHT IN TRANSPORTATION a
brawl In the dive district of Frankfort
last week a riot started in which one
soldier and one civilian we're killed,
and several others were wounded.
The soldier killed was First Sergeant
Tate, of Somerset, and the civilian
Jesse Cook, of Frankfort. The trou-
BILE started over a woman. A compa-
ny from Lexington had to be called
out to guard the Jail to prevent vio-
lence to the prisoners who were ar
rested.
BIG SHELBYVILLE FIRE:-A ter
rible conflagration almost destroyed
the pretty city of Shelbyville last
Thursday night, causing a loss OF
100000. The entire place was threat
ened, and several of the most impor-
tant buildings and stores were de-
stroyed.
SPEAKING IN RICHMOND:-Se
Bradley and Pres. Lebus of the Bur-
ley Tobacco Society spoke in Rich
mond Monday in the interests of pool
ing tobacco. Friends of the senator
were sorry to notice evidence that
he was beginning to feel his age.
ESCAPES FROM JAIL:-Another
escape from the Franklin County jail
took place last week when VIM. Tur-
pin cut his way thru the bars and
escaped. He was awaiting trial for
assaulting a deputy marshall in the
Somerset JAIL
CHAMPION SHOT:-The champion
rifle shot of Kentucky is now Private
Howard. Of Pineville, who made his
record at Frankfort last week. Capt.

PEARY THERE TOO
American Naval Officer Also Reaches
the North Pole-Double Triumph
for the American Flag, Which Now
Flies at the Top of the World.

On the inside pages of this paper
are found full accounts of the reach
ing OF the North Pole by DIR. Cook,
Of Brooklyn, N. Y, an American ex-
plorer. Since those pages were print
ed word has come from the far north
that Commander Robert E. Peary, the
U. s. Navy, the leading Arctic ex-
plorer, has also returned from a sue
cessful dash to the pole. which he
reached a year later than DIR. Cook.
Details of Peary's dash are still lack
ing.
Such double triumph for American
pluck and daring against heavy odds
and In the face of awful difficulties.
should bring a glow of pride to every
true American. Over seven hundred
lives have been lost In the attempts
of the bravest men of the last four
centuries to reach the Pole, and that
this almost impossible feat should be
doubly accomplished by Americans is
matter for the greatest and deep
est pride. The Stars and Stripes now
float from the summit of the world.
and that wonderful land has become
by right Of discovery the property
OF our government.
All honor to Cook and Pearyl

FALL TERM THE BEST

There is no time like the present.
Any young person who wants to get
good education will start as soon
as possible, and now is that time.
The Fall Term of school is the best
of the three, and II a student could
have only one term, this would be
the one he should choose. Here are
few reasons for this:
First:-The school is less crowded,
the buildings are not so full and he
can have a better chance in picking
his room, less crowd and more COM
fort In all activities.
Second:-The weather is better for
any kind of work. The heat of the
summer is over, and the rigors of
the winter have not come. 1t Is the
best time of the year to study.
Third:-The teachers, too, are less
rushed with work, and in better con-
dition to work, and the student gets
the benefit. A student depends on
the teachers for what he gets out OF
school, and so the Fall Term, when
they can give him most, is by far the
best time for him.

COURT DAY AT RICHMOND

The crowd was unusually large, and
trading was brisk throughout the en-
tire day. The demand for stock was
brisk. The mule colt men were
in large numbers. There was, as us
ual, a demand for good horses, but
they are not to be had. The demand
for cattle was also good, as the price
of $40 will testify. There was big
lot of cattle at the pens, nearly all
selling at from SO TO $40. Mule colts
were plentiful and nearly all were
sold. Prices ranged at from $S5 to
$50. Several car loads bought Monday
were shipped South that night. G. W.

in field. Col. w. B. Burton, of Lam
caster, bought seven mules at from
$3.50 to 5000. A load of mules. bought
during the past month, was shipped
South, for which was paid from $50
to 800. Ben Bright bought, for
Bright & Fox, five mules at from
$3.50 to 1925.

GOING AWAY TO SCHOOL

1t is always hard for both parents
and children when the time comes for
the young folks to go away to school.
And yet, there is no time which
should really bring a greater feeling
of triumph to both For a time of
parting has to come into every family
sooner or later, and If that parting
comes in such good cause as that
Of education 1t means that the child
ron will have the best that is open
to them, and that the parents have
dope and are doing their full duty
by the young ones. These things are
cause for happiness, are they not,
even If they are accompanied by the
pangs of parting?
1t might be different If the young
sters did not have TO leave home soon
er or later anyway. But they do.
Every family is separated. Children
of one couple will be found scattered
from ocean to ocean, and seldom is a
family found where half dozen child
rem see each other once in ten years.
The parting must come.
And what difference there may be
in the parting! When the young
man starts to make his way, how
much better to know that he is go
ing to college, where he will find
kind and helping friends, and where
he will be fitted for the best in life,
rather than that he is going to a fac
tory, or distant farm, where he may
be among rough and unthinking men,
and where he will be laying by moth
ing that will help him laterl And
how much better for a young woman
to go to such a school, where she will
learn all the things that will make
her better wife and mother, or that
will enable her to take care of her
self IL alone, than to have her start
In with the cares of a family at ten
der years, or go to distant city to
work in the homes of strangers!
Surely. the parting which will lead to
education is the best there can be
on this earth. Its terrors are more
than repaid by the hope of the future
and the certainty of present safety,
while it offers rewards and happiness
far beyond any other parting that
can come while life lasts.
No ambitious young person will let
tho pangs of the parting from home
keep them from school, and no good
parent will sacrifice the child's flu
ture happiness to put off for a few
days pain which will only come la
ter In worse and more hopeless form.

BIG Gift REPORTED
Story from Chicago that Or. Pearsons

ionaI.

Good luck for Berea College is fore
Swallowed in the following dispatch
from Chicago printed in the morning
papers yesterday:
CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-Dr. ID. X. Pear
sons, the millionaire who has spent
years giving money away to poor col
leges all over the land, announces that
he is closing his work Said he:
Within a month or SO l shall give
100000 to Berea College, Kentucky,
for the benefit OF the mountain
whites. Beloit was the first college
l ever gave to and Berea is going to
be the last When give this $780,

want them to quit Fostering me-"
He gets about 1000 begging letters
daily. most of which are burned with
out being answered
No official confirmation of this
news has been received here, how
ever. and II is not believed that the
gift is at all definitely settled yet.
Officials of the college feel certain
that the gift. If made. will be accom-
panied by some conditions such as
went with the other gifts of DR.. Pear
sons, namely, the raising of a large
sum of money with his gift as the ba-
sis. 1t seems likely, therefore, that
this donation is still a long ways from
being secured.

co Balance.-People often make fun
of the awkward, country boy. This
is because he has been brought up
In a small place and has never had a
chance to adjust himself to other
conditions, to learn new ways, and to
get broader view. The best small
school in the country cannot give a
boy this broader view, this mingling
with people from many different
places When a boy comes to such
a large school he learns how to min
gle with other people; how to be dig
nified instead of awkward, indepen-
dent instead OF coarse.
Co Power.-After, all the most i'm
portant aim of an education is not
knowledge but manhood. There is
everywhere plenty of opportunity for
self-control, but the more experience
a boy can have under wise and firm
guidance, the better he is prepared
for life. In a large school there are
many opportunities for self-control,
for influencing others, for learning
the great art of persuasion. Berea
College is in itself a training in citi-
zenship as well as in character and
culture. The student has a chance 20

so at Work on Trust Law with Big
Teeth in It-Japsn Wants More
Ships-Doctor Sees Wife Killed.

TAFTS PLANS:-Pres. Taft has
not been idle during his summer va
cation. Among other things he has
decided to reorganize the Department
OF Justice, which has charge OF the
prosecutions OF trusts and such mat
ters. He hopes that he will be able
TO prepare IL TO do more effective
work. Also he will rearrange the
work done by It and the Bureau OF
Corporations, In such way that
there will be no work duplicated, and
everything will be to the best advan-
tage. Several prominent politicians
have called on Pres. TAFT and he has
been working with them and a num-
Der OF experts In drawing up an anti
trust law which he believes will do
much to solve the troubles of the
country. He will put the whole
weight OF his administration behind
II this winter, and hopes to induce
Congress to pass It. The law VIII
provide for prison sentences for Of
ficials OF railroads or other corpora
lions who violate It's provisions. and
eniarges the powers OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

ming to take a $4,000 mile trip thru

trouble with the employers. The
strike would be In violation OF solemn
agreements, and injure many who
have nothing TO do with II. IL Is
such acts as this which have lead
to the prejudice against the labor
unions.
JAPAN WANTS NAvY:-A move
ment has been started in japan to
build fifteen new and very powerful
bastleships as an addition to her ma
Wy. Considering the talk OF war be-
tween this country and japan this
plan Is OF great interest to us.
