HOME-GOING
MOVEMENT
Thousands VIII Make Pilgrim
age to Ireland IN 1910.

Washington, D. c. April a.
ireland for the Irish---leoI---meet
me at Kilkenny.
With this as their slogan the
friends of the proposed Irish home
going movement in 1910 want not
less than $4,000 of the sons and
daughters of Erin to make the pill
grimage to ireland then for an in
dustrial revival of that country. The
occasion promises to be the greatest
epOch-making event in the history of
ireland. Backed, as it is, by the
enthusiastic endorsement and sup
port of prominent members of the
Irish race, both in this country and
Ireland, great influx of visitors to
the old Land on that occasion is ex-
pected. Among those who have
pledged themselves and are lending
their aid to the movement is Richard
Croker, the former Tammany Chief
tan.
The principal motive underlying
the proposed pilgrimage is the deyel-
opment of the natural resources of
Ireland and the upbuildins gifts in
dustries- The report IS made that
Irishmen who have made a success
in the United States can carry back
to Ireland ideas relative to Govern
ment, manufacture, commerce and
capital which may be employed there
equally to the advantage of Ireland
and to those who return to their ma
tive land.
The home-going event will be held
during July, August and September,
1910, the most interesting period for
a visit to Ireland.

GOV. TAYLOR
IS PARDONED
Kentucky Executive Wipe From
Record All Charges.

Frankfort, KY, April ss.-Gov.
,esnor Wilson this evening cleared the
Kentucky court records of all charge,
growing out of the murder in 1900 Of
William Goebel, except those hang
ing over states evidence witnesses in
the alleged conspiracy, by granting
pardons before trial to former Cover
nor W. S. Taylor and Charles Finley,
Who have been fugitiyes in Indiana
for nine years; to John Powers,
brother to Caleb Powers, who is be-
heved to be in Honduras; to Holland
Whitaker, of Butler county; John
Davis, of Louisville, and Zach Steele,
Of Bel county, under indictment,
who did not fee from the state.
Those over whom indictments were
left hanging are Wharton Golden, of
Knox county; Frank Cecil, of Bell
county, and William H. culton, of
owsley county, said to have died in
the west a few months ago. These
cases, with the possible exception of
Cecil, will be dismissed, leaving
Henry E. Youtsey, now serving
life sentence in the state peniten-
tiary, the one person to suffer for the
taking off of Goebel.
Reiterating the beliefhe expressed
some months ago when he granted
pardons to Caleb Powers and James
B. Howard, that no one but Youtsey
had part in the murder, and that it
was not conspiracy, as the common
wealth charged. Governor Wilson
says he believes it a sacred duty,
which I must no longer delay, to
carry this belief into effect" and
grant pardon to the men charged and
who fed the state as they had the
greatest reasons to believe that they
could not have fair trial" and if
they stayed here 6 would be forced
trial before a partisan jury under
conditions which would give them no
chance for just decision.

To the People of Meade.


The Meade Laundry will not pay
if you think it7for the best interests
of Meade to send your work TO
Hutchinson or any other town.
There is no more reason for send
ing your laundry work away than
there is to do your banking or buy
your goods at Hutchinson whensyou
can get the same goods at the same
price here.
We will do as good work for the
same money as any laundry and will
be 'helpto build up the town.
The laundry will run next week
and the amount sent away will de-
termine whether we shut down or
continue.
The probabilities are that some
were misled by the same person
gathering to send away that had
been gathering for US. Yours.

STEEL SAFE
 CRACKED Thieves Accomplish Neat ' Job Sunday. IA E. THOMPSON LOSES s7oo Police Find Few Clues to Work
 Upon. People In NeIghborhoea of Jefferson and Ripley Streets Heard Heavy Peuad-
 ins But Were Not sus- piclons.

Neryily rolling it into the back yard. rogues Sunday night entered A. E. Thompson's grocery store at Jefferson and Ripley streets, seized the safe and conveying 1t out the back door. broke into the bottom of the steel box with axes and secured s26e.
 Monday morning when Mir Thompson came to open his store he saw the safe upside down in the back yard, and his papers scattered about the place. The rogues had entered through the rear door of the building by breaking the lock. and trundled the heavy iron box out on blanks.
 From the way the work was done 1t seems the men. for 1t Is evident there was more than one, know what. they were about. The. thin bottom of the safe was smashed in, the bolts of the door shot back and the contents rified.
 People of the neighbqrhood say they heard noise of someone pounding on metal Sunday night. but as It was ga loud they did not for an instant think 1t was the work of tlIieyes.
 The. detectives are out on the trail such as 1t is, but as yet have not made an arrest. From the neat work done the police think 1t was accomplished by whites and there is suspicion among some of them that they may be part oi the same gang that entered Spiegefs store in East Montgomery week ago. As has been stated in reference to the mysterious murder of last week, there is strong suspicion that felons migrat- ing to the South during the cold months may have stopped over for a little extra change and the two pieces of criminal work are, by some, laid at their door.

Pensacola, Flo, Jan. 26.---f fSpecial.)-- 2. N. Bonner. a well-dressed and ap- parently prosperous man of valdosta. Ga. is held in jail here in what ap- pears to be an insane condition, and no information of any character can be secured from him.
 He was at Hotel Escambia, where he arrived this morning. when his strange acts caused the hotel people to call for the police.
 At the noon hour he went into the dining room, and instead of taking a scot proceeded to make an inspection of the to0thpicks at each plate. Finally he selected one to his liking and, go- ing to a table. took seat. By this time the dinfng-room was in furOre. The knife at the plate of- Bonner did not suit him and after throwing 1t around. he walked up to his room on the third floor. Within a few minutes, pillows, chairsss bedding and furniture of all description began to strike the pavement, and when the police arrived. the man had practically cleaned the room of every article 1t contained. . He Is held for information regard ing relatives.
