examine his record can doubt that lie
Is In close sympathy with the exploit

III will be remembered that be

islature, and a Republican legislature
at that, had passed the reduction bill.
This measure gave 10 the congested
population OF New York a two-cent
rate now enjoyed by the more seat
tered populations OF the western
states. and his veto of IL is conclusive
proof that he obeys the dictates OF ne
railway managers instead OF listen
ing To the voice of the public.
He is understood 10 be close per

published reports show that the trust

1T will be remembered also that he
was the first prominent man TO op'
pose the income tax, and his opposition
came after Mr.. Rockefeller had an
nounced hostility TO the income tax
amendment The corporation attor-
neys who fled an argument against
the income tax with the Albany legs
lature presented the same argument
that Gov. Hughes did, and these cor

powerful aid, barely succeeded in pre-
venting the ratification OF the ameni
ment by the state OF New York. What
would he do on the supreme bench II
any question arose affecting the IN

feels no hostility toward private mon.
OpOlies, ana there is no reason 10
doubt that his decisions would be III
line with his speeches.
Gov. Hughes eXemplified the indi-
vidual virtues and naturally demands
honesty in the public service. but he Is
a shining illustration of that peculiar
type OF citizen developed in this Coun-
Try during the present generation-the
citizen who personally opposes vice

To Be On Exhibition At The A. A.
DOWdS Dry Goods Store May
l3 And 18th

ha, Neb, in 1909, and the silver and
gold trophy that was given by w. H.
Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich, will

ty rows with kernels to the inch,
their depth being q of an inch. The
entire weight of the ear is 20 ounces.
1t is a hybrid of Reeds Yellow Dent

pure ebony. 1t is valued at $1,000
and is we'll worth the attention of the
public, and should be of especial inter
est to corn growers.

Declared Vacant
By Order Of The GAINESVILLE
PreSbytery

Rev. Mr. Nesbitt of Pataskala,
preached at the Presbyterian church
in this city, both morning and even
ing, Sunday, to large audiences es
pecially so at the morning service.
Mr.. Nesbitt was delegated by Zanes-
vile Presbytery to occupy the Mt.
Vernon pulpit, made vacant by the
resignation of Rev. j. S. Revennaugh,
and formally declare the pulpit va
cant until the local congregation shall
call another pastor. The reverend
gentleman spoke touchingly of the
time when a pastor and his flock sep
arate; of the original idea of the min
istry in serving its people and what
it has developed into; that the min
lister served congregation his life
time. Mr.. Nesbitt's sermons at both
services were highly appreciated by
those who heard him.
Rev. Revennaugh, the former pas
tor, preached his first sermon at his
new charge in Cincinnati Sunday.
No action by the congregation has
yet been taken to secure regular
pastor.

FLAMES
Destroyed Home Of Clyde
Thompson Near Waterford
Lightning Set Fire To The
Dwelling

The home of Clyde Thompson, about
three miles west of Waterford, was
completely destroyed by fire Sunday
evening at about five o'clock. Mr..
and Mrs. Thompson, with some com
pany, were sitting in a down stairs
room during the thunderstorm which
came up about that time in the after
noon, when sharp fash of lightning
vas seen and Immediately following
this flash, spout of fame was seen
to shoot from the transmitter of the
telephone on the wall Nothing more
was thought about it for a while un.
til the odor of smoke was detected.
On investigation, it was found that
an upstairs window had been broken
in by the lightning and that the
draught through the broken window
had famed some sparks off of the tel
ephone wire, into flame and that the
whole room was blazing. 1t was seen
Immediately that the house could not
be saved so all hands busted them
selves with removing furniture from
the building. Fortunately there were
Leighbors living nearby and with their
aid, all of the household goods were
saved. The loss was partially covered
by 800 insurance.

STRINGENT
Is The Law In Regard To
"BOOdICFS"
At The Coming Primaries On
May II

The man who solicits money from
candidates in the primary election.
May 18th, is playing with fire. Pros
pective boodlers and vote-buyers, If
there be any in Knox county, had
better be pretty cautious, too, for
the law is more stringent than when
applied to regular election.
A peculiar feature of the law lies
in the fact that the man who solicits,
exacts a promise, or accepts anything,
whether money or favors of any sort
is guilty under the law and may be
fined not less than 800 nor more
than $500, or may be imprisoned in
the penitentiary for one year or both.
The law appears to have been con-
structed for the purpose of reaching
that bunch of boodlers who continual
ly harass the candidates for office
with view of extracting money from
them for the little work they may do
at the polls and among their friends.
For the benefit of those who are
not acquainted with the provisions
of the primary law in this particu-
lar the following section of the stat
ute is given in full
Section 12.-Any person who shall
soicit, request, demand, or receive,
directly or indirectly any money, in
toxicating liquors reward or other
thing of value, or the promise there
of, either to influence mis- vote, to be
used, or under pretense of being used
to procure the vote of any other per-
son or persons, or to be used at any
poll or other place prior to or on the
day of primary election shall be
deemed guilty of an offense, and up
on conviction thereof shall be sentenc-
ed to pay a fine of not less that 500,
and not more than $500, or to be i'm
Irisoned in the penitentiary for one
year, or both, in the discretion of the
court

! suit of mature deliberation and with

Destroyed By Lightning Near

A large barn belonging to Mr.. John
Gale, about two miles west of Water
ford, was struck by lightning during
the electrical storm, Sunday afternoon
at about four-thirty o'clock. The bolt
struck on the corner of the roof of
the barn and set fire to the shingles
which were very dry. In short time.
the entire roof was blazing and the
structure soon burned to the ground
as there was no means of fighting the
fire. Fortunately there was no live
stock in the building at the time.

farming machinery was destroyed.
