More Big Men Involved.

The list of unanswered questions that
awaited the probers of the legislative
bribery scandal today was as long as
on any day since the senate began its
investigation.
Names on three envelopes holding the
bridge companies 5000 bribe had been
told by Senator Benn Conger. But yes
terday's evidence had opened several
new leads which the investigators may
follow at once OF reserve for later action
under different organizations.
Conger brought into the evidence yes
terday the names of several men now In
office in such way that, although not
charged with wrongdoing. it is probable
they will demand a hearing.
s. Percy Hooker, state highway COM
missioner, was named as the man who
helped Conger draft the proposed amend
ment to the highway law, supposed to
be desired by the bridge companies.
Assemblyman J. p. Yale of Putnam
county was spoken of as the author of
the highway law which struck at the
bridge companies after they had refused,
according to Conger, to continue the
payment of tribute to the political lead
ers.
Senator Heacock of Herkimer county
was the man who introduced the bill
drafted by Conger and Hooker which

Questions Yet Unanswered.

The big questions, however. are:
Who shared with the late Jean l..
Burnett the $4,000 which Conger says
Burnett received from Hiram e. Moe on
April 49, 1901? and
Who made the demand for slo'uo
protection" money which the pridse
companies refused in 1905?
Conger's testimony that Speaker Nixon
and Lothian P. Aids received only $1,000
for their influence at that time precludes
the supposition that Burnett was given
the larger sum all for himself. If Con-
ger knows how the money was distrib-
uted he may be forced to tell before he
leaves the stand.

A Pleasant Outing.

One of the most enjoyable events of
the season was the annual Sunday
School picnic held by the Methodist
School last Thursday at the Fair
Grounds.
At an early hour the children and
many of the older members gathered at
the church where large hay wagons
conveyed them to the scene of the pic
mic, and from early morning until late
in the afternoon pleasure ruled the day
During the morning many interesting
games were enjoyed by the children in
the grove, while the older ones were
participating in tennis, baseball, etc.
From twelve to one o'clock proved to
be the most interesting hour of the day
for bountiful and dilicious were the
good things spread before the crowd of
merry makers. The afternoon was de-
voted to various contests, an appropri-
ate prise being awarded to the winner
of each contest. One of the most spir-
tied ones was for the ugliest man upon
the grounds, which was finally won by
Bro. Currie, the prize being a hand
mirror.
The committee on amusements is to
be heartily Congratulated and thanked
for making the day so enjoyable to all
present.

Death Of F.E. Christie.


Last Saturday morning about 2
O'Clock, Cane Valley lost one of her
best and most useful citizens in the per-
son of Mr.. F. E. Christie, who was a
miller by profession, a part owner of
the roller mill in that town, and was al
so Police Judge of the town of Cane
Valley. He was fifty years old and
was victim of typhoid fever. The de-
ceased was born and reared in Casey
county, near Clementsville, and had
been citizen of Cane Valley about
twelve years. He was man who stood
for the right and was ever ready to de-
nounce lawlessness. During his citi-
zenship of Cane Valley he made many
warm, personal friends. He was en-
terprising and used his influence to ad-
vance the moral uplift of the communi-
ty in which he lived. The passing of
this good man spread a gloom over
Cane Valley, bringing great sorrow,
not only to his devoted wife and two
small children, but to all hearts who
knew him.
The funeral and interment took place
late in the afternoon Saturday, many
relatives and friends attending.

GONE TO HER REWARD.
After a Long Illness. Mrs, Laura
Alien, this City, Meets the In
evitabIe.
BORN AND REARED NEAR GRANVILLE.

Last Wednesday evening about 7:3O
o'clock, Mrs. Laura Allen, highly re-
spected lady of this place, after long
illness, succumbed to the inevitable,
and peacefully passed beyond the veil.
The deceased was sixty-nine years
old, daughter of Hop and Emily Stone
Cheatham, and was born and reared
near Gradyville, this county.
When quite young woman she was
happily married to Dewitt Clinton
Allen, who was prominent farmer of
Cumberland county, removing thither
and where she resided until after the
death of her husband which occurred
many years ago. Soon after the demise
of her companion, she and her children,
Eva. Emily and Lula became residents
of Columbia, and where the deceased
constantly made her home until the
final dissolution. Two of her daughters
are msrried, Eva, to Mr.. j. M. Frazer,
who now lives at Oakdale, Tenn, and
Emily to Mr.. L. L. Eubank, of this
place, at whose home the end came.
Her youngest daughter, Miss Lula,
was in Mississippi when her mother was
stricken, but she reached her bedside
and was constant attendant until the
summons came. Mrs. Frazier is in a
very low state of health and could not
reach here.
In early girlhood the deceased made
profession of her faith in Christ,
united with the Christian Church, living
close to God until her life work ended.
In health, she was punctual, always
filling her seat upon the Church ordi-
nances, and was ever ready to work for
her Masters cause.
From girlhood to old age she was a
lady of most excellent Christian char
acter, and her noble traits were instill-
ed into the minds of her three devoted
daughters, who have the sympathy of
this entire community. Their best
friend is gone, to which statement
every person who has lost a mother
could testify to its correctness. 1t
seems hard to give up the one who cared
for the young, and whose needed admo-
nitions have led to strong character and
most respected lives, but to those who
are now in deepest sorrow we would
say take the words of the Master and
be comforted. There will be another
meeting.
The funeral services were held in the
Christian church Thursday afternoon
at o'clock, conducted by Ed z. T.
Williams, her pastor.
A large circle of relatives and sympa-
thizing friends were present. The in
torment was in the city cemetery.
There were many flowers.
