Death Of Gross B. Williams.

Mr.. Gross Barrett Williams died at
his residence in Hartford last Sunday
morning at 1880 o'clock, after lin
gering illness of cancer of the stomach.
Several months ago, when he first
became seriously i'll, 1t was thought
that an operation would relieve his
trouble and he went to Chicago for
that purpose. The operation was
commenced, but after operating his
stomach the surgeons saw that the
disease had made too much Roadway
for them to afford him any permanent
relief and after draining the cavity,
the incision was closed up and he
arose from the operating table a
doomed man. This fact, however, was
kept from his, knowledge and he never
seemed to realize the seriousness of
his condition even to the end. His
last minutes were peaceful and he

BIG SUM COMING
TO TOBACCO MEN
Millions for Western Ken
lucky Growers.
ITALIANS BUYING OUR WEED
To Make Their Big Cigars
100000 Pounds
In the Purchase.

Large sums of money will be dis
tributed among tobacco farmers in the
western part OF the State OF Kentucky
within the near future in payment for
the transfer OF their 1908 crops of dark
export tobacco to the Italian Govern
ment. This welcome news came
when it developed that w. G. Dun
nington, OF the firm of w. G. Dun
nington & Co., OF New York, a million
aire tobacco man, is here closing con-
tracts for the Italian Government with
the tobacco farmers in the dark dis
tricts of the State for their dark ex-
port tobacco.
1t was learned on the best authority
that Mr.. Huntington is negotiating
with the growers for about 3O,OOO,OOO
pounds of dark export tobacco to be
delivered to the Italian Government.
The price that is being paid by the
Italian Government through Mr.. Dun
sington for the corps, it is said, is
something like SIS or$9 per 100 pounds.
If the statement is correct that 100000,
900 pounds of dark export is secured, Z
means that something more than ST.
100000 will be paid over to the farmer
in Western Kentucky when their hold
ings are delivered.
The news that these big deals were
on came as a surprise for moth
ing in the way of a sensation has
been sprung in tobacco circles since
the sale of 60,00O,OOO pounds of pooled
Burnley tobacco to the American To-
bacco Company last yelr for S13,500,-
600 in gold. This big deal ended the
tobacco war in Kentucky.
Through the agency of the big deal
for the Burnley last year it has been
conceded on all sides that many
country hank was rescued from in
solvency, inasmuch as many growers
had negotiated loans to tide them
through the severe struggle with the
trust. While the conditions in the
western part or the state now pear no
semblance to those that existed in the
Burley districts when the war was on,
it is believed that the 100000 or
more from the Italian Government viii
add greatly to the prosperity of that
section.
The crops that are being purchased
by Mr.. Huntington for the Italian Gov
eminent will come mostly from that
part Of the district where is situated
Paducah. Hopkinsville and GAINESVILLE.
On arrival in Italy the greater part of
the product is used for the manufactur
of large, black Italian cigars, the most
popular smoke in Sunny Italy.-Couri-

Norman Man Thought the Big
Balloon Was Strange Thing
Of the Skies.

Norman, KY, Oct. IA large dir
igible balloon travelling in a south
westerly direction was observed, here
early this morning. Several persons
looking through a transit telescope
were able to make out the propelling
and steering gear, also the name In

There appeared to be three men and
two women in the basket.
Reports say the balloon left Indian

a neighbours house to borrow a SPRING

he reached the house he was out of
breath, but lie got the gun and be-
lieving that if he didn't capture the
balloon one of his friends a mile or
so farther on would besure TO get

the race was that of the tortoise and

went to tire hare, as the big balloon

DRAGGED TO DEATH
By Scared COw-The Awful
And Tragic Death of Lit.
tie Guy Shafer.

While taking a COW to pasture
early last Sunday morning on the
home place, little Guy Shafer, the six
year-old son of Mr.. VIII Shafer, who
lives four miles east of Hartford, was
dragged to death by the scared brute.
1t had bee the custom of the little fell
low to take the COW to pasture each
morning and in company with little
Fred and Phil May, sons of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank May, who were visiting
the Shafer family, he started out on
his regular errand.
In a playful manner and for the fun
of the thing he took the loose end
of the rope with which he was leading
the cow and tied it around his waist.
The boys hadn't proceeded very far
before the COW either became fright
ened or wanted TO hurry to the pas
ture and began to run. OF course The
little fellow was helpless and started
to keep pace with her. Little Fred
May saw the danger Of his comrade
and bravely grabbing the rope, he
tried to stop the onrushing COW. He
was quickly thrown to the ground,
however, as was also the little Shafer
boy, and the COW started at a more
rapid pace with her captive.
The COW ran a few hundred yards
and attempted to cross Muddy creek,
near by. In this she was successful,
but the body of the little boy became
entangled in some roots and shrub
berry on the banks of the creek and
she could go no further. One of the
little May boys ran to the Shafer
home and gave the alarm. Mr.. Shafer
came running and found h.S little son
almost entirely submerged in the
creek, only a portion of his coat pro-
truding from the water. He grabbed
the little form in his arms and quick
ly made his way 10 the house, where
doctor was summoned. 1t was found
that the little fellow was already
dead, and the physician stated that
death must have resulted before he
struck the water, as his skull was
crushed, but there was no blood WISH
BILE. The little fellow was dragged on
ly about 200 yards.
The tragic event has cast gloom
over the community. The funeral oc-
cured at Central Grove at 10 o'clock

BOTH EXPLORERS
MUST GIVE PROOF
Of Claims That They
Reached Pole.
UNITED STATES SCIENTISTS
Will Treat Both Men Impair
tially-Prof. Willis L.
M0Ore'S Views.

Washington, Oct. LIN view of the
Polar controversy, the Board Of Direc-
tors of the National Geographic So
ciety to-day held a special meeting to
fix the attitude it should assume
toward DR.. Frederick A. Cook upon
the occasion of his visit here next Sur,
day, when he will deliver lecture on
his arctic experiences. The decision
was reached that DR.. Cook under the
circumstances, could not be recognized
In an official way.
The conclusions OF the board were
stated in an announcement by Prof.
Willis j.. Moore, president of the socie-
ty, in which it was urged that both
Commander Peary and DR.. Cook lose
no time in submitting their observa-
tons, notes and data to competent
scientific commission Of the United
States. The announcement states:
Before the society can accept the
conclusions OF either Commander
Peary or DIR. Cook that the North
Pole has beer attained, it will be nee
essary that the scientific records and
data of each explorer be carefully eX-
amined by it's commission on research
or by some body or commission accept
able to the board. The society takes
this position not from any distrust
of the personal integrity of either eX-
plorer, but because of the many calcu-
lations that enter into the determi-
nation of the pole.
"The National Geography Society ur-
ges Commander Peary and DR.. Cook
speedily to submit all their obserya-
lions, notes and data to competent
scientific commission in the United
States"
Prof Moore said he did not feel tn
he could disassociate himself sufficient
ly as president of the society to call
upon or to introduce DR.. Cook to any
audience while in this city. He could
not do so until the board of.managers
of the society had taken action upon
DR.. Cooks claims of having reached
the North Pole. Personally, he said
that when the announcement of DR..
Cooks achievement was first made "
expressed qualification that Cook had
reached the pole, but now that the
board of managers of the society had
invited a submission of proof of both
Peary and Cook, he felt that he should
maintain an absolutely neutral atti-
tude. Prof. Moore saw no reason why
evidence should not be submitted to
the board at all early date so that
all doubt might be dispelled.
Mr.. Moore will maintain the same
attitude toward Commander Peary
that he does toward DR.. Cook. He
will treat both claimants exactly alike
until action by his society has settled
the dispute that has arisen between
them.
