In Memory of Dear Nell.

Written in memory of Mrs. w.
D. Moore, who died recently in Hart
ford, by a friend in Canada.l
The span of life was brief,
Like the gold in the sunset sky;
AS the life TO the rose, whose leaves
unclose
And then begin to die.
In the morning of her life,
With the dew of youth on her
brow,
The happiest hour of our cherished
flower
IT'S hard to lose her now.
Our Father sends the sorrow,
From Ills hand descends the blow,
But oh, IL falls 50 bitter,
On our quivering hearts below.
And yet we may not question,
Our Fathers tender love,
Or know the gifts he has in store
For His chosen ones, above.

recovery. He was at work on the

EXTENSION OF
THE COUNTY UNIT
But No State Wide Pro-
hibition Now.
STATE ANTI-eALOON LEAGUE
So Announces Through Its
PreSident-Will Go
Slow at Present.

Statewide prohibition will not be
issue at the coming session Of the
Legislature.
The Kentucky Anti-saloon League
which had been credited with plans
looking to the agitation Of legislation
Of that kind, has announced through
It's President, the Rev. DR.. W. h.
Beauchamp, pastor of the Fourth
Avenue Methodist church, Louisville,
that the league will coLfine its eff
forts to seeking an extension of The
county unit bill.
If the question of Statewide pro-
hibition develops in the State Legis-
laiure, it will not be until 1912.
THE Pre- gram of the organization
with which / am connected" DR..
Beauchamp says, has been to use
the county unit bill until the POSSIBLE
tiles of that form of legislation are
exhausted. Not until then is it our
policy 20 ask for anything more.
Under the present Kentucky law the
county Is made the unit in matters Of
prohibition with the exception CT
these containing cities Of the first
four classes. We have exhausted
the possibilities of the present bill
very nearly, and we are going to ask
the Legislature to pass a bill maxi
IL g the county the unit, and to pass it
without any such restrictions and
qualifications rs those which mark
the present statute"
According to figures given out sew
eral weeks ago by ~ A. Palmer, SUI
pelintendent of the Kentucky Anti
Saloon League, there are eighteen
cities exempted from the operation
of the law, and though most Of
these have prohibited the sale of Ii
quor in their territory outside of the
cities, the league regards it of prime
Importance to make the county the alb
solute unit and endeavor to reduce the
whole territory included in the coun-
ties to dry" district.

BRIGHT Boy Actor.

1.-THE whole show is a common ex-
preston and this was amply exempli-
fled at DR.. Beans Opera House last
week in the performance of Master
Willie White, six-year-old child artist
with Bonnelli's Big City Show. Will
lie is not exactly the whole show
for there is too much of it to be
thus characterized, but according to
age, he is the biggest attraction OF
the troupe. He sings, dances and acts
with marvellous skill and perfection.
He is certainly a histrionic progidy
and although a mere child in years,
has already made his mark in the
world. It was the best show for the
price that has ever appeared in Hart

TALKED SASSY
And Father OF WrOnged Girl
Would Not Agree to
The Marriage.

That the way of the transgressor
is hard is being fully eXemplified i'll
the case of Forrest Malone of FordS-
Vile, who is confined in Jail here on
a charge Of seduction on a promise
Of marriage, an account of his get-a-
way and capture, appearing in The
Herald at the time. He seems to be
up against the real thing, with the pei
itentiary doors ready to swing open
for his admittance.
Since his confinement here in Jail
Malone weakened enough to send the
young lady, who also lives near Fords
Vile. word that if she would come to
Hartford he would marry her. Last
week the girl, in company with her
father, appeared at the Jail and the
parent announced his willingness for
them to marry provided Malone would
take care of her as a man ought
under the circumstances. Malone, see
ing a ray of hope for freedom and APP
parently believing that the wedding
was a sure thing, boastfully announced
that he would take care Of her If she
would keep up with him." whereupon
the father of the girl advised that she
return home and leave the young
man in his shame and sin, to face a
charge that will doubtless send him
to the penitentiary for a term of 3
to 10 years, believing that such an
experience would be of material bene-

DR.. COOK FAILS
TO SHOW PROOF
That He Reached Long
Sought North Pole.
The COPENHAGEN SCIENTISTS
Are Not Satisfied With His
DATA Turn-DOWn
Is Expected.

Copenhagen, Dec. 1S.-Copenhagen
newspapers up to the present have
been wholly friendly to Dr. Cook, but
IL Is learned that some Of the leading
dailies tomorrow will print articles
throwing doubt on Cooks trustworthi-
ness.
Copenhagen, Dec. 1S.-The Associat-
ed Press is informed by a high au-
thority that the committee of the
University of Copenhagen in it's pre-
liminary examination of his records,
failed to discover proof that DR..
Frederick A. Cook reached the North
Pole.
A preliminary report was made by
the examining committee at a secret
session of the consistory of the uni
versity to-day. The consistory listen
ed to the report, which provoked an
animated discussion. 1t appears that
the data so far submitted are not
held sufficient to establish this ex-
plorer's claims.
The result of to-day's discussion
was a request on the part of the con-
sistory that the committee continue
its work. The university body will
leave to the Investigators proper the
matter of making public later the
results of their inquiries.
In the meantime it is announced
By an official of the university the
consistory will not make public any
communication based upon informa-
ton received orally from the COM
nittee at to-day's meeting.
Popular opinion here appears to
have undergone a gradual change.
From the beginning of the contro-
versy the populace of Copenhagen has
been decidedly for Cook. Patriotism
has strengthened this sentiment.
Recent developments, however, have
been disappointing, and to-day the
general impression prevails that DR..
Cooks papers as submitted do not
constitute proof that he discovered
the North Pole.

TOBACCO CAME
IN MANY LOADS
Much of the Weed is Being
Delivered.
ONE LOAD NEAR THE TOP PRICE
The Average Being $6-The
Grading Not Altogether
Satisfactory.

! Monday was a busy day in Hartford
In tobacco circles. 1t was the day
set for beginning the delivery of to-
bacco under the present contract for
the A. s. of E. pool of Ohio county.
When nightfall came an even hundred
loads of the weed had arrived here.
This was more than could be properly
taken care of at the big warehouse
at the foot of Center street, and some
of it was hauled into livery stables,
while a number of loads stood In the
warehouse yard all night
The work of receiving and grading
was at once begun. 1t was impossi-
BILE to receive the tobacco as fast as
it was brought in and only % loads
passed through the graders hands
Monday. The graders are Messrs.
tRousseau Weller and J.F. Vickers, The
former acting for the farmers and
the latter for the company who pur-
chased the pool, represented by Mr.. j.
II. Nave.
There was only one load of to-
bacco that caem near the top price of
80 to s. for leaf and Jugs and 50 for
trash, as agreed on at the recent deal
negotiated. Mr.. William Lake came
nearest reaching the mark. He got
50. $3.50 and SO. The general av-
erage was about So. The season be-
ing rather dry, the weed did not show
up to the best advantage, although
there was much of good quality in ev-
idence. 1t is only fair to state,
however. that the grading was not al
together satisfactory to the farmers.
There was considerable complaint at
the rating accorded some of the weed.
But the delivery went steadily on
and it was evident that the tobacco
growers had decided to make the best
of it. a portion of the tobacco was
not first-class and this of course could
not be expected to fetch the best price.
Cash drafts on a Louisville bank were
issued as payment.
The receiving will go steadily on,
with the exception of the shutdown
Saturday.

U. S. WILL RAISE COLORADO
SPUDS IN PHILIPPINES

Denver. Nov 5.-The United States
government is going to make the e1-
pertinent of raising Colorado pota-
toes in the Philippines.
Experts. working for the army de-

chase $4,000 pounds of Colorado seed
potatoes. so soon as they are availa-
BILE. in order that this seed may be
forwarded to the Philippines.
The government prefers that the po-
tatoes be purchased directly from the
farmers, and they must be up to a
stipulated standard. having a certain
size and free from all disease. dirt,

DON'T AGREE ON
STATES HEALTH
STANDING
DR.. TAYLOR SAYS TUBERCULOSIS
on DECLINE; WILBUR SAYS
1T is GAINING.

Denver, Oct 2s.-Dr. Hugh Taylor.
secretary OF the state board of health,
takes issue with the statement of DR..
Cressy l.. Wilbur. chief statistician OIL
the bureau of vital statistics. in his
latest bulletin, that tuberculosis is
gaining ground in Colorado.
The bulletin given out by DR.. Will
bur says that in all the states of the
registration area tuberculosis is on
the decline. except in Vermont, Rhode
Island and Colorado. The registration
area consists of thirty-seven states and
in order to qualify. their reports to
the national bureau must show at
least s5 per cent accuracy. Colorado
was the twelfth state to qualify.
DR.. Taylor maintains that in this
state. notwithstanding the thousands
of tuberculosis persons who come
here annually. the rate. when COM
pared with the population. shows a
decrease.
People all over the country are
learning rules of hygiene that save
them from tuberculosis, said DR..
Taylor. "and in no state in the union
are these rules better understood or
-
to practice them as a matter Of self
protection. and We know how.
From a study of the table which
have prepared it will be seen that
while the mortality rate from tuber-
culosis shows a little increase every
year it does not keep pace with the
increase in population.
The figures on the deaths from tu-
berculosis are gathered by the state
board of health. The estimates on pop
ulation are furnished by the national
census bureau. Any person living in
Colorado must know that these fg-
ures on population are far too low
and are more or less inaccurate in
ether respects. In 1904 our population
was given al s34.0s6. and the same
number was given for 1908. The year
1905 showed a falling off in popula-
ton and the state is credited with
only e4o.ss1 in 1908 A bad guess, all
the way"
Following is the table compiled by
DR.. Taylor:
