TAFT THOROUGHLY
ENJOYS VACATION
Drives Secretaries and Cares Of
State Away, Rides Horse
back and Plays Golf.

Gregory, Tex, Oct. 19.-President
Taft began his three days of doing as
he pleased on his brothers ranch to-
day by playing eighteen holes of golf
this morning over a muddy course and
by lust loafing" through the long aft
ernoon and evening.
Mr.. Taft was as happy as a boy out
of school. The idea of eating a din
ner without having to speak for it
and of going the livelong day with
out having to make speech appealed
to him strongly and he declared he
wished his far-southern vacation coul
last a week and three days instead
of just the latter period.
While the President was golflng and
resting, the members of his party
enjoyed themselves in various other
ways Secretary of War Dickinson
and Capt. Archie Butt were up before
the sun and started out on an all
day duck-shooting expedition, at the
Ou lht idutu, lcll
miles away from the farmhouse" at
Laquinta, veritable palace set on
the shores of Corpus Christi Bay, look
ing out over the waters of the Gulf
of Mexico. They returned late this
afternoon with quite a bag and denied
the Presidents haunting insinuation
that they had been presented with
the birds.
Others of the party took long horse
back rides and had a swim in the
bay. Beginning tomorrow the pres
ident will probably go in bathing
each remaining morning of his stay,as
both weather and water are warm.
Ranch hands out hunting to-day
killed two wild cats. two wild bears
and q raccoon. All We're presented
to the president tonight. Tomorrow
morning the President will golf and

ters and two sons. One of his sons,
Prof. Truman Woodward, is at the
head of a college at Teintsin, China.
The other son, William, is civil
engineer and at present is located In
South America. Funeral services were
conducted Wednesday morning at 10
o'clock, after which the burial
took place In the Beaver Dam ceme-
terry. He was one of Ohio countys
best citizens and will be greatly miss
ed by his family and friends.

Ohio CO. FARM
ERS INSTITUTE
To be Held at Hartford
Nov. 8 and 9.
Competent men Will be Present
to Discuss Practical
Topics.

The Farmers Institute for Ohio
county which will be conducted under
the supervision of Commissioner Of
Agriculture, NJ. c. Rankin, will be
held at the courthouse in Hartford,
Monday and Tuesday, November Sth
and 9th, 1909. Mr.. J. A. Mcclure, of
Hickman, KY, and Mr.. J. b. walker.
of Hopkinsville. KY, both competent
men made so by personal experience
at farming, will be present and to-
gether with the farmers of Ohio Coun-
ty will discuss topics of interest to
those engaged in the tilling of the
soil. These men have been employed
by the Commissioner of Agriculture
to hold institutes for the benefit of
the farmers and if the farmers are to
derive any benefit from these insti-
tutes, they must come out and hear
the discussions and engage in them.
IL Is intended that the two days
meeting be attended not only by the
farmers, but by their families and IL
Is suggested by the organizer, Mr..
J. w. Ebersbaker that those attending
bring their dinner and stay all day.
This will be a departure from other in
stitute held here, but is a splendid
suggestion and the farmers should, in
accordance with directions bring their
baskets filled with dinner prepared
to stay all day each day.
An attractive program has been ar
ranged and the leading farmers of the
county have been assigned practical
subjects familiarity with which will
better prepare them for the work
which they have in hand. The Amer
lean Society of Equity teaches the
science of controlled marketing which
is an important matter for the farmer
to familiarize himself with. It is the
province of the farmers institute to
teach the scientific way of seeding.
cultivating and harvesting the crops
adapted to the various sections of the
state, with a view of best preserving
the soil and producing the best and
most abundant crops therefrom. When
the people have been sufficiently edu-
Gated along the lines taught by these
two institutions and put into practictA
the information gained, they can con-
duct thheir affairs better and make
more with less effort.

L.&N. TO IMPROVE
HENDERSON ROAD.
Curves to Be Eliminated,
Grades Reduced.
Madisonville toBe Terminal Of M
H. & E. Which Will be 0per-
ated by L. H. & St. L.

One of the most gigantic under
takings that the l.. and N. Railroad
Company has ever undertaken on the
Henderson, division of its system, and
which Will mean an outlay of $4,000
900 on the part of the company, is
assured, as contracts have been
awarded for the improvement of Its
line in this section. The work will
be of such magnitude and on scale
that the public will be astonished at
the amount to be expended before
the company is through. The i'm
provements will be made for the
purpose Of increasing the efficiency
OF its service and with a view of the
state on a plane with the best in the
country.
One of the objects of the railroad
company will be to reduce its grades
and climate curves between Guth-
: rie and Slaughterville, Road bed cut
ting and reducing the grades and
making fills for the purpose of
double tracking its system between
these points will cost vast sum.
The new depot of the NJ. H.& E.
railroad which will be built in
North Madisonville, Will be used
jointly by the l.. & L., and the
NJ. II. & K. railroads. The interur-
ban after its arrival in this city from
Darlington will make connections
with all passenger trains on the M.
H. & e. and l.. & N. railroads at the
new union depot, which will be mod
ern In every respect. This will be
built near the junction.
It has been decided to make Madi-
sonville the terminal of the NJ. H. G.
E. railroad and Henderson division
trains will also be handled from this
city.
The shops and roundhouse will be
located in North jacksonville and
a large lake will be made just north
of the NJ. H. & E. railroad and be-
tween the present main line of the
L. & N. and the new loop.
According to the plans of the en-
gineers the loop will cross the north
east corner of the old fair grounds
and cross the NJ. II. & E. railroad
one-fourth a mile east of the NJ. H.
& e. junction. This will be an ideal
place for the erection of a round
house, the location of shops and the
lake of the company.
The NJ. H. & E. will likely be
operated under the direction of the
L. H. & st Louis railroad and presi-
dent Irwin, of this road, will be the
executive officer having his head
quarters in Louisville. A trainmas-
ter win probably be located at this
place.
Madisonville will become the ter
minus for the division north Of
Guthrie and south of Howell. This
will be OF inestimable benefit to the
city and when the M. H. & e. is
ready. for the operations of trains
and these improvements are completed
the population will be trebled in a
short time. 1t will mean such an influ-
ence of people that cannot be
imagined by the residents and
give the city through connec-
ton with points north, south.
Vile its terminue the railroad compan
will make this place its central point
for this territory and the city will be-
come great railroad center

New York, Dec. 23.-In the person
OF Charles Adams, an elderly man of
respectable appearance, the police al
lege they have one member of a sue
cssful group of mining swindlers
which in recent years has fleeced
wealthy English families out of $780,
600. Adams was arrested today by a
postoff1ce inspector and will be ar
raigned tomorrow charged with using
the mails to defraud.
1t is alleged that when a death no.
tice appeared in the English papers
Adams or an associate would write a
letter addressed to the dead man,
knowing that 1t probably would fall
into the hands of the heirs. This let
ter would recite how the writer had
been helped by the addressee to make
his fortune in mining stocks and how
in gratitude, he now offered his ben
efactor q chance to subscribe to
choice mining shares. The relatives
the police say in many instances &C
cepted the alleged bait and were
fleeced.

Will WAGE WAR
ON GYPSY BANDS
CENTRAL ILLINOIS FARMERS
WANT MOVERS DRIVEN
FROM STATE.

Bloomington, Ill, Dec. 23.--Authori-
tie OF Central Illinois, as well as those
of other sections OF the state, have
declared war upon the rowing band
OF gypsies, or, as they are also known,
movers" Farmers are especially
vindictive towards these land pirates,
so called, and declare that II the eff
forts OF the sheriffs and police de-
partments OF the various cities and
counties are unsuccessful In driving
these marauders from this state that
organizations. now devoted largely to
the capture OF horse thieves and the
prosecution Of trespassing hunters.
These bands Of rovers are in con-
slant motion through the states of
Illinois. Iowa. Indiana. Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Missouri, and leave
a trail of petty and in some communi-
ties serious crimes behind them. Con-
viction is difficult. owing to the in
ability of the victim to select the
member OF the band responsible.
More often the penalty is omitted than
imposed and the offender is allowed to
go with a lecture that falls upon deaf
ears, as far as being effective goes.
During the last fall no fewer than
six parties Of these characters passed
through Central Illinois. Nearly all
have had t.ouble with farmers on &C :
count of the petty tnievery practiced
and complaints have been numerous
Many farmers are afraid to make
complaints, fearing that the gypsies
will return later and set fire to their
building, creating much greater loss
than the chickens stolen. Under the
guise of fortune tellers, the women
steal linen from clothes lines and pick
up purses and any article Of value

coal company the coroner alleges. is
keeping secret the readings Of the tenn
perature In the mine. Today the COM
pany shipped the fans to the shops
of the ST. Paul Railroad Co. to be re-
paired. and 1t is said that II would
likely be Ave or six weeks before the
fan could be replaced in position
The feeling prevails in Cherry that
the coal company Is making every eff
fort to delay the opening Of the mine
for the purpose of making impossible

Invoke Bishops Aid In Wranalo.


Laporte, Ind. Dec. 23.-Three or four

The consent of Bishop w. e. Nc

Following Reverend Smiths acceptance

of the church voted to request the
bishop to send DR.. E. c. wareing OF

congregation are up in arms and
positively decline to release him.
They have communicated their pro-
