connection with the discussion over
the rates of handling L. S mails. the
statement is made that during 1906

transportion the mail was reduced So
100000 annually and that this reduc-

1T is asserted that on first class
mail the government receives a rev

total expense of handling this was
1892 cents and of this only $50 cents

RUIN IN SCANDAL
Father Ignatius, at the Sacred
Heart Church, Criticises Evil
Tendencies of Time.
YOUTH ON STREET CORNER
Corrupt in Himself, He Is Ever Striv-
ing to Bring Others Down to
His Own Level.

Large crowds are attending the
mission at Sacred Heart church. The
sermon last night was delivered by
Father Ignatius. In plain yet for
chile language he depicted the evil
wrought by scandal-givers. He show
ed how scandal does an injury to
God, to souls, and to the scandal
giver himself.
He appealed to his audience to bear
him out in his statement that today.
in this our boosted age Of progress,
the sin of scandal is only too COM
mon in all walks of society. Men
and women seem to vie with each
other in running innocent souls. They
do the work of the devils in hell, and
become in very deed the apostle of
the prince of darkness. Young men
pride themselves on their manhood,
when they can point to their evil
companions, the many whom they
have brought to ruin by their scan
dalous behavior.
Striving for Victims.
Look at the young man of today"
depicted on his countenance the vice
he is ever striving to instill in
others. Standing on the street cor
ner he brings the blush of shame to
the cheek of innocent girls. Corrupt
himself, he is ever striving to bring
others down to his own level"
The speaker condemned especially
the scandalous conduct Of many par
ents, who, instead of fitting their
children for heaven. are driving them
lheadlong into hell. Parents are
bound to instruct their children by
word and example, but many of them
ARE altogether incompetent for this
work, simply because they them
selves are so Indifferent to religious
matters.
Many other modern scandals were
spoken of and those who listened to
the speaker were convinced that there
are more ways than one to ruin souls
and render void the blood of Jesus
Chrust.

Though not unexpected the news of
his death was terrible shock to his
family and friends.
Perhaps no man was better known
and more highly respected in Garrard
county than was Capt. Austin; born
and reared here in the county, he was
loved and respected by all for his
many sterling qualities.
He served with dist inctiO through
the Civil war in the 1st XIV. regiment,

and settled in the north eastern part
of the county and began farming, af-
ter her death of several years ago he
married Miss Rachel Henry, a sister
Of NJ. S. Z. Henry, of this city, who
survives him.
Recognizing his worth and upright
ness his friends solicited him to make
the race for assessor Of the county

terms leaving it to enter the revenue
service during Cleveland's admiDis-
tratiOn under Col. Rhodes. then Co..
lectOr of internal revenue for this dis
trict, he served as deputy collector
for four years and was considered one
Of the most efficient as we'll as the
most fearless when in the service.
When change Of administration
came he entered the coal and lumber
business in Lancaster in which bus
mess he continued up until few
months ago.
Several years ago Capt. Austin re-
ceived severe injuries from fall from
his horse. from which he suffered a
great deal of pain, and from which he
never fully recovered, and which con-
tributed to his death. He left the
farm several years ago and erected a
handsome residence ON Crab Orchard
street where his family now reside.
Capt. Austin was II years of age and
had been a consistent member of the
PreSbyte church for a number Of
years.

The Eleventh District Situation.

Caleb Powers defeated Don G. Ed
wards for the Republican nomination
for Congress in the eleventh district
of Kentucky in the primary of last
week by majority of over ten thous-
and votes. Powers is considered
Bradley man and it is thought by
many of the leading republicans that
the influence of the Senator figured
strongly in the election.
"The Bloody Eleventh" has for
many years been considered hope
lesslV republican district, however
there is now a chance for a democrat
ic or independent Congressman that
the republicans are divided. The
following special was sent out from
Somerset:
1.-THE revolt against the nomination
of Caleb Powers for Congress at the
Eleventh district primary election
Thursday continues to grow, and life
long Republicans in every county are
engaged in an effort to defeat him at
the November election. They say
that it will be an impossibility for
Powers to get any thing like reSpec-
table vote among those who fought
him for the nomination. and that the
fight against him has just begun. His
enemies argue that it would be incon-
sistent for any Edwards man to vote
for Powers now after all the fight
against him during the campaign and
it is safe to say that the Edwards
leaders who control the machinery in
a number Of counties will work dOubly
hard to make Powers victory in the
primary a barren idealitY."
