delicious ice cream and cake All ate
to safety, and then cigars were
passed rhe supper was served by the
ladies of the Methodist church ably as
sisted by a bevy of young ladies. the
flower of Hartford's young woman
hood, and it goes without saying that
the feast lacked nothing in every es-
sential to make it all that could be
desired. A casual count showed that
124 delighted Maccabees and their
friends were assembled around the
festal board. Delegations from the
Maccabee Tents of Paradise and Crom
well were present to enjoy the festiv-
tiles and also to witness the execu-
ton of the degree work which fol-
lowed the supper.
Nothing more enjoyable has trans
pired in Hartford lately and the oc-
casion went far towards establishing
more firmly the prestige and worth
of the noble order of Maccabees.

TOOK STRYCHNINE
With Suicidal Intent and
Expired Soon Afterward
"A Sad Case.
The Greensboro Messenger says:

The Greensboro Messenger says:
Mrs. barbara Pierce died at her
home 140S Pearl street, on Saturday
morning at o'clock as the result of
an overdose of strychnine, apparently
taken with suicidal intent. She was
formerly a Mrs. Wood but was mar
ried to the late Lyman Pierce about
a year ago. They did not get along
we'll and soon separated. She had
been in failing health for some time
but began to decline more rapidly
after their separation. She left note
dated last August in which she said
she was tired of living and wanted to
die.
She is survived by three children:
Charles, who is living with her; Har-
~, who is in Evansville, and Mrs.
Frank Meek, of this city. 1t is said
that she anxiously expected a letter
on Friday and when the letter carrier
came and brought her nothing, she at
once became more respondent than
usual. She is supposed to have Ia
ken the fatal drug about midnight.
Her son, who was sleeping nj an ad-
joining room, was awakened about 4
a. IN. by unusual vocal sounds and
went to his mothers room to find
her struggling as if in death agony.
He asked her what was wanted and
also asked what was the matter, but
got no reply. He became alarmed
and called DR.. Barnhill, but when
he arrived the woman was beyond
relief.

Maccabees Make Merry.

The banquet of the Maccabees at the
Masonic and x. of p. hall in Hartford
last Thursday night was a most en-
joyable affair. 1t was given in honor
of the initiation of class of novi-
tiates and also as a social function in
which all members might join. State
Commander NJ. f. Elkin and Deputy
State Commander G. G. Wine were
present. Revs. NJ. G. Buckner and H,

Mayor James H. Williams were among
the invited guests. Responding to an
invitation during the progress of the
banquet, Rev. Buckner made beau

followed ey State Commander Elkin
in his usual happy vein. Preceding
these gentlemen and on account of

new SCHOOL Law
Proposed and a Few OF the
Provisions Embodied
In the Bill.

The Kentucky Educational Commits
sion has prepared new. educational
bill for the next Legislature. The fol-
lowing are q few of the many changes
suggested:
The new bill abolishes the present
State Board of Education, consisting
Of the State Superintendent, Secre-
tary of State and Attorney General
and replace It with board made up
Of professional instructors.
The County Superintendent are re-
luired to devote their entire time to
their duties and their salaries are in
creased from $500 and $500 to 5000
and $500 respectively.
The examination papers of teachers
are 10 be graded by the State Board,
and a certificate granted is good in
any county.
The State Board appoints instruc-
tors for codnty institutes and issues
license t them.
To bring about a more just and
equal distribution of the State fund TO
teachers, the following recommended
ton is proposed:
(a) No teacher holding a third
grade elementary certificate shall be
paid a salary of less than $25 or more
than $50 per school month from the
State school fund.
OBJ No teacher holding a second
grade elementary certificate shall be
paid a salary of less than $50 or more
than $40 per school month from the
State school fund.
(c) No teacher holding a first
grade elementary certificat shall be
paid salary of less than $35 nor
more than $50 yer school month from
the State school fund.
Cd No teacher shall be paid from
the State school fund more than the
minimum salary for the grade of GER
tificate held except for such months
as the average attendance of pupils
shall equal or exceed two-fifths of the
census enrolment in the district.

THE AMENDMENT
FOR GOOD ROADS
Seems to Have Carried in
the State.
LIGHT VOTE ON The MEASURE
Complete Reports Are Not in
Requires Only a
Majority.

More complete returns on the good
roads amendment to the Constitution
seems to indicate that the amendment
has a possible chance of carrying.
While the vote was light on the prop
osition the measure has a good chance
to pull through. II all depends on the
majority that Louisville and Coving-
ton will give the amendment.
Indications are that Louisville will
give the amendment at least 5000 ma
jority and probably more. With only
about one-third of the vote of the
city completed it looks as if the ma
jority in Louisville will go beyond the
5000 mark and may possibly go as
high as 1000
Returns from about two-thirds OF
the State show that the amendment is
running behind about 5000. The
counties reported tended to show that
the amendment was getting a shade
the best of the argument. Many
mountain counties are missing. Some
of these are said to favor the amend
ment.
The delay in the count in Kenton
county, the second county in popula-
ton in the State has prevented any
returns on the amendmnt from there
If Kenton should roll up a good ma
Jority for the measure it will stand
good chance of becoming part OF
the Constitution. At any event, when
the full vote on the proposition has
been counted it may be found that the
amendment has received a majority OF
the votes cast.
An erroneous idea has prevailed as
to the provisions of the Constitution
regarding an amendment to the Con-
stitution. 1t has been generally be-
lleved that an amendment required
! two-third's majority of the votes
cast to become a part of the Consti-
tuition. Such is not the case, how
ever, as only majority of the votes
cast is required.
The friends of the good roads
amendment still have a good chance
of seeing the amendment passed. II
all depends on the majorities in JEFF
ferson, Kenton and the missing noun
tain counties. Senator Joseph Bos
worth, of Middlesboro, one of the
trainers OF the amendment, wired thai
he had great hopes that the amend
ment had carried. He based his in
formation on reports he had received.
The amendment was defeated IL

GIRLS EL0PEMENT
Caused Her Father Much Anxiety
And TrOubIe-MOre His.
tory of the Case.

Concerning the romantic elOpcment
of Theodore Hill and Miss Ruth Bell,
an Ohio county couple, the initial ac-
count Of which appears in another col
umn of The Herald to-day, the cores
pondent of the Evansville Courier at
Der 8, writes:
Not Until yesterday morning did
Marion ". Bell, Of OHIO county, KY
learn of the marriage of his daugh-
ter, Ruth Bell, to Theodore Hill, the
information being carried TO him
through the columns of The Courier.
Tired and worn out because of his
long search for his runaway daughter
Mr.. Bell arrived III Boonville last
night, the purpose of his visit to this
place being to learn the particulars
connected with the granting of mar
riage license to. the clipping couple. Be
cause of the tender aGe of the girl,
they were unable to secure license.
However, they secured the license
here since the girl did not have to
appear but eighteen years of age.
1t was Mir. Bells intention to prose-
cute any person who might have
misrepresented the girls age. How
ever, he learned from Deputy Clerk
Youngblood that his daughter repre-
scented her age as being eighteen
years. Under no other circumstances
would the license have been granted
In a very interesting manner Mr..
Bell told how he had refused to al
stating that the refusal was made on
the grounds that the girl was too
young. He had promised her sutton
the hand of his daughter as soon as
she became eighteen years of age. He
also stated that his daughter had
been going to school, and that her
lover drove to the school house and
begged her to run away with him.
The couple then went to Greensboro
and secured an automobile and tried
Henderson and Evansville before they
could escape their pursuers. Mr.. Bell
stated that he was in Rockport early
Tuesday morning which was exactly
the same time that the runaways
were in Boonvlle, The fact that his
daughter had married against his
wishes did not seem to affect the faith
er half as much as the deception of
che girl, which was practiced on the
county clerk. Mr.. Bell stated that
no effort to annul the marriage would
be made, but he did not propose to
aid them during their lifetime, in
any way. Mr.. Bell is prosperous ans
well to do farmer of Ohio county,
Ky, and owns over 500 acres of good
farming land. Adjoining his farm is
that of Theodore Hill. with whom
Miss Bell eloped Hill is wealthy, and
owns several hundred acres of land.

upon the authorities. That 1t is
without foundation in fact is shown
by the following statement issued by
Treasury Department:

to that effect A number of in
quiries have been received at the De-

there was such a provision in the
penal code about to go into effect.
The law governing the subject. in
stead of being a new one, was en-
acted back in the sixties, and has
never been construed to apply to

THE STORY ABOUT
81 BANK CHECKS
Not Being Good is Simply
a Fake.
NO TELLING ORIGIN OF STORY
Statement and Explanation
Of Matter Issued by
Treasury Department.

The following story has been going
the rounds of tho press:
There is probably not one person
in a hundred who knows that the
last Congress enacted law that con-
Germs the rights Of business men and
individuals In issuing checks, due
bills etc. nevertheless 1t Is true.
The law which will take effect jan
uary LIST is as. follows; mo person
shall make, issue or circulate or pay
out any note, check, memorandum,
token or other obligation for less
sum than one dollar, intended to cir
culate as money or to be received
or used in lieu of lawful money OF
United States, and every person SO
offering shall be fined not more than
$500 or imprisoned not more than
six months, or both" This, means
that if person owes a debt OF less
than one dollar he cannot pay II
by check or draft, but must pay II
in cash. He cannot issue a due bill,
note, check OF memorandum" for a
less amount than one dollar, and II
he inadvertently or ignorantly does
so, he is subject to a fine of $500 or
both. The only way out of it, if you
owe an amount less than one dollar
and haven't the change about you, is
to give a check for the dollar and let
your creditor pay you the difference
and that is often impracticable.
