FOR MORE CLEANLINESS
Commissioner Dunlap Will Inaugurate
Campaign for Better Methods

Columbus, O., Oct. 10.-State Dairy
and Food Commissioner Renick w.
Dunlap proposes to inaugurate cam
paign against the careless manner in
which meat is being handled through
the state, especially in public mar
ketS.
He does not believe that municipal
authorities are taking care of the mat
ter, and the fact that it is allowed
to continue he believes to be a men,
ace to health.
In city markets the meat is usually
cut up and placed On stand for sale
without covering, The customers are
not prohibited from handling it, and
this seems to be the unclean PROPOSE
ton with which he is confronted. Be-
sides, the meat is not protected from
dust and dirt from the streets, allow
ing it to be affected with disease
germs.
Unless he can accomplish his pur-
pose under the section of the statutes
governing the sanitation of foOdstuffs
which he purposes to attempt, he will
appeal to the next session of the
general assembly for a law on the sub
ject.

were standing before the open air pull
pit. On the platform with Mr.. Taft
were all the clergymen in the city and
a big choir.
The service was openff by repeat
ing the Lords prayer, the thousands
standing with bowed heads and fol-
lowing the words of the leader made
an impressive scene.

Biblical quotation, He who conquer
eth himself is greater than he who
taketh a city" The president applied
the text to the political life of this
nation.
The Japanese of the city of whom
there are several hundred, handed
a letter of welcome to the president.

the honored chief Of a great nation
which we respect, and we rejoice that
your beloved country has the honor
and great privilege of reciprocating
such fraternal regards"

BY Sun Leased Wire.
Lexington, KY, Oct. 10.-J. G. Hurst,
.epubliCan nominee for county judge
f Breathitt county, who was brought
0 a local hospital two weeks ago, suf-
ering from a gunshot wound, made
statement today in which he prac-
tcally repudiated the statement of his
.rother Hannibal Hurst, that the shot
vas fired accidentally.
Immediately after the shooting Ham
libal Hurst posted notices through
Breathitt county that he had done the
shooting and that it was an accident
Today ]. G. Hurst declared that the
shot was fired through window while
Hurst was in the act of building a fire
in a stove and 1t is not believed that
he is aware that his brother has con-
fessed to the shooting.
Friends who heard the statement
made by the dying man are of the
opinion that the statement, to the eff
feet that the brothers had quarreled
had led to the shooting, was COR
rect.
Hannibal Hurst has not yet been ar
rested, the officials of Breathitt county
taking his word regarding the shoot
ing and it is not known what effect
the statement of the wounded man
will have on the situation in the home
county.
From all reports, however, it is be-
lieved that a family feud will develop.

Girl Finds Fathers
Body In a Field

Der 30, to go to Plttsburg, where he
expected to make a visit of week or
more with a sick daughter.
On his way to the train he took a
short cut along a path through corn
field. That was the last seen of him,
and it is believed that he was way
laid and murdered.
Heufnagel, apparently, put up des-
perate struggle for his life as the
ground near the corpse was torn up
and trampled. There has been no
rain for two weeks in this section,
and evidences of an encounter are
easily discernable.
Heufnagel's left arm is broken, ap-
parently, as he warded off blow from
some heavy weapon. His face is laid
open with long and jagged cuts and
the head has almost been severed
Bruises were found all over the torse
and head.
Heufnagel is said to have had large
sums of money and some valuable
papers in his clothing and these are
missing, indicating robbery was the
motive for the crime.
Coroner Heffran and District At
torney Miller and county detective
force have taken bloodhounds to the
scene of the crime and officers in
western Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia are at work on the case.
Miss Heufnagel had not regained
consciousness this afternoon, and her
condition is serious.

DEFENDS THE CHURCH
Rev. E. p. Herbruck Says Many Have
Wrong Conception Of It.

THE reason most men refuse to at
tend church is because they have a
wrong conception of its spirit and pur-
pose" declared Rev. E. P. Herbruck
in the Trinity Reformed church Sun
day evening.
They forget" he continued, "that
the soul Of all Improvement is the
improvement of the soul.
1T is true the church has some
faults which ought to be, can be, and
will be corrected. 1t is true, too, that
there are some people in church who
ought not to be there, but we do not
reject all money because some il
counterfeit, neither do we condemn
the beautiful rose because there is
a worm eating in every bud.
ut is unjust to single out the bad
members of a church, for there are a
few unworthy persons in many con-
gregations, and compare them with
the best men outside the church. But
if you will compare the best men in
the church with the best outside, then
l am never afraid of the result of the
comparison"

DEATHS TOLL FROM
TRESPASSERS
NEARLY $4,000 KILLED IN TEN
YEARS ON RAILROAD
PROPERTY.
By Sun Leased Wire.


New York, Oct. 10.-Trespassing on
railroad property, in violation of the
law, has been responsible for the
deaths of 47,416 people in the United
States in the last ten years. In the
same period more than so 900 tres.
passers were injured.
1t is in view of these facts that
many of the important railroads have
determined to redouble their efforts to
see that rigid enforcement of the law
against trespassing be carried out.
The same in England has reduced cas-
Ualties to a minimum.
The number Of people killed while
trespassing on railroads has been in
creasing every year. In 1898, 4,063
trespassers lost their lives on Amer.

number was 5000 and in 1907 the
number killed was 5,612--more than
