BOARD CHANGES

The October number of the Home Mission Monthly announces a number of changes in the executive forceof the Woman's Board of Home Missions. Mrs. Boole, Secretary, and Miss Lincoln Treasurer, retire after years of faithful service. Rev. R. M. Craig leaves the office of School Superintendent to present the subject of Home Mission work to the churches. Rev. Craig visited the s. T. s. in October, 1908, and won the friend ship of all the workers here.
 Dr. D. R. Boyd, formerly Presi- dent of the University of Okla homa, succeeds Rev. Craig, Miss V. M. White becomes Treasurer, and MlSSJulla Frazer ot alltornla takes the office of Secretary. Miss Frazer also visited our school in the autumn of 1908 and studied the needs and conditions here. We are glad that she takes tO her office a personal knowledge of our field.
 Miss Lydia Hayes, a former teacher in this school has been appointed field secretary for the Eastern States.
 The Thlinget extends good wishes to the outgoing officers and a sincere welcome to the new with the hope that they will be as greatly blessed in their new labors their predecessors.

A few days ago one of the classes had the word hollow in their lesson. The teacher asked What does hollow mean?' The pupils were silent. She said name something that is hollow.'' "The window", cried a little fellow, as he pointed to a broken window pane.

A WHALING

port came to the mission that a whale was stranded on an island close by. Now while Capt. Jen- sen of the Cottage City asserts that all they have to eat at the mission is whale oil and dry fish, none of us had ever seen a whale on land. One afternoon two of the teachers and some boys went to locate the island, which seemed to be somewhere, but no one knew just where. After row ing all over the sound they met a party returning from the whale, who reported that the smell was so thick that you couldn't take a picture through it. Another party reported the air was so thick you could TOW a boat right over the island.
 The next afternoon, the William with Mr. Walton as captain and the Mission Force as crew, went whaling. We were told to steer by our noses but not a smell did We smell. We landed on an island but no whale.
 But we were lucky. Mir. Merrill came along and not only showed us the island but took num- Der ashore in his boat. The whale, which was a huge male was estimated to be seventy five feet long. It had evidently been dead a long time, and had come in on a very high tide.
 The body was badly decayed, but as it was frozen and a strong wind was blowing there was no smell to speak of. Several of the party walked over the frozen body and the next day it was reported that these same ones were washing clothes. It is need less to say that all enjoyed the trip and wish to thank Mir. Wal ton and Supt. Beattie for our whaling.

Embarrassing Financial Condition.

The luxury OF a Republican State
administration in Kentucky comes
high and it will have to be paid for
out of the pockets of the taxpayers.
The estimates given out at Frank
fort indicate that when the Legisla-
ture meets this winter there will be
deficit in the State treasury amount
ing to $2,O00,00O According to the
reports of Auditor Hager when he
went out of office and the Republic
and took charge, there was a surplus
of 81 100000. To meet these changed
conditions and to provide for the pay
ments of the warrants on the State
Treasury. the tax rate will have to be
materially increased. II is a condi-
ton and not a theory which con-
fronts the people Of Kentucky and
they will have to pay a very high
price for the ornate figure of Hon
Augustus Wilson in the Governors
chair. II there are any Democrats
who helped to put him there, we rath,
er think in the face Of these figures
they will be heartily ashamed of 1t.

Women Who are Envied.

Those attractive women who are
lovely in face, form and temper are
the envy of many, who might be like
them. A weak, sickly woman will be
nervous and irritable. Constipation
or kidney poisons show in pimples
blOtches, skin eruptions and a wretch
ed complexion. For all such, Electric
Bitters work wonders. They regulate
Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, purify
the blood; give strong nerves, bright
eyes, pure breath, smooth, velvety
skin, lovely complexion. Many charm
ing women owe their health and beau
ty to them. SOC at James H. Will

BEE
At FRANKFORT
Negro Desperate Hanged
From Bridge.
SHOT &c. BOWERS, SNOWMAN
During Performance of Circus
Jail Was FOrcibly En-
tered By Mob.

Frankfort, Ky, June i.--Jobn Max
ey, a negro, who shot B. c. Bowers, a
Snowman, during the performance of
circus here last night, was taken
by a mob of 200 persons from the
Franklin county Jail shortly after
o'clock this morning and hanged from
the St. Clair-street bridge. after which
the mob quickly dispersed.
The lynching is the sole topic of
conversation, but no one can be found
who personally knows anything of the
affair. The body of the negro, per-
fOrated almost like a sieve, is laid
out at Coroner Graham's undertaking
establishment. 1t was cut down be-
fore daylight by the Coroner.
According to story told here, only
the members of the moi who took the
jail keys away from Jailer Bridges
were masked. One of the score of
shots fired at the negro as he swung
from the ironfgirder of the bridge is
said to have gone wild and struck a
man who was either a member of the
mob or a spectator of the lynching,
in the leg, causing a severe wound,
which, it is said, was quickly dressed
early this morning.
When the demand for the prisoner
was made at the jail the Jailer re-
sisted, but the door was broken down
with little effort When the fact OF
the lynching became known through
out the city it created intense ex-
element.
B. c. Bowers, of Valdosta, Ga. the
wounded man.is still in a critical con-
dition at the Kings Daughters Hos
pital. He was shot in the bowels
Physicians say he has an even chance
for recovery.
Maxey narrowly escaped being
lynched at the time of the shooting,
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1909-06-09

and a panic among the big crowd in
the main tent was narrowly averted.
The negro was roughly handled by
some of the showmen, who beat him
over the head with stakes. After the
shooting a crowd swarmed around the
negro, shouting Lynch him!" and in
moment a moose was around the ne
Ho's neck, the loose end of the rope
was thrown over a tree, and the
crowd was about to draw the negro
up when two policemen interfered,
took the negro FROM the mob and hur-
ried him to the county Jail. Bowers
was taken to the hospital. where his
wound was dressed. He is an Elk,
and members of the local lodge took
charge of him.
The shooting began as a result of
the negro's effort to get in the tent
under the flap without a ticket. Bow
ers stopped him once or twice and
sent for Policemen Robinson and
Johnson, who were called TO arrest
Maxey. The negro tried to get into
the tent, and when Bowers stopped
him, Maxey pulled a revolver and be-
gan to shoot. Bowers caught the
weapon after the first shot and pre-
vented any more bullets from striking
him. After firing four shots the ne
gro turned and ran. johnson fired
one shot at him as he ran and Rob-
inson fired twice. but both aimed
badly and missed their mark.
AS he ran the negro turned and
fired fifth shot, which went through
the hatbrim of bystander who was
watching the trouble. Some OF the
circus hands, Selling stakes, chased
Maxey and caught him quickly,
beating him down with their sticks.

The Book Trust, however, so the
commissioners say. have their we'll

the County Commission and urging
them to line up with the Book Trust
The same old battle that was wag-
ed here during the last Legislature
is now being fought out il. the State
and the enemies Of the Book Trust
predict that there will be surprises
just as great sprung H. this contest
when the result is announced as was
sprung when the school book bill
which was vetoed by Governor Will
son, passed the General Assembly.
The most important problem and
the most vexing question that the
State Commissioners are now trying
to solve is not what books the chill
dren should have, but what is the rea,
son the great publishing companies
will not bid on the Kentucky list.
a comparison OF the bids made on
the books to be furnished is of es-
pcclal interest as pointing out the
absolute lack of competition. The
first schedule set out in the contract
is readers. The maximum price of thu
primer is fixed Icy the statute at 1O
cents. The American Book Company
and the Bobbs-Merlill Bool Company
each bid 10 cents, and so on down
the line.

PLAINLY A SCHEME ON FOOT
Kentucky Contract Calls For
Expenditure of Nearly
$4,O00,OOO.

Frankfort, Ky, June l.-One of the
mightiest battles of the ballots ever
waged in any State is III progress in
Kentucky at present, and but few peo-
pie know that the battle is going
on or else they are paying but little
attention to 1t.
The State Schoolbook Commission
will meet in this city on June - and
will announce the successful bidder
for the contract to furnish the school
books to the children of Kentucky
for the next five years, and this
contract will call for an expenditure
Of more than $3,5OO,O0O before it is
carried out, or twice as much money
as was used in building the new
Capitol.
The State Schoolbook Commission
is composed OF Governor Wilson,
Chairman; Auditor James, Treasurer
Farley, Clerk OF the Court of APP
peals Adams, Secretary of State Bru-
ner, Attorney-Gcneral Breathitt and
Superintendent Of Public Instruction
Crabbe, Secretary.
The maximum price list to be charg-
ed, the samples of the books to be
submitted for the children and the
price to be paid for them have been
sent to the County Commissions, and
many of the CountyC Commission have
cast their vote in a sealed envelope
that is now in the safe in the Su-
perintendent Of Public Instructions
office and will be opened on June ~.
Great things are going on. and the
Inost bitter fight Is being waged,
though quietly, by the competitors.
1t is said that the State Commission
is lined up against the powerful book
trust and that the members OF the
commission are injecting their person
