PYTHIAN HOME TO
HAVE AN EXTENSION

The Knights of Pythias of Ken
lucky are making rapid prepara-
tions to build an addition to the
present Home in Lexington, which
will be used as a girls dormitory
and will cost $4,000 or more. The
recent Grand Lodge, in session at
Shelbyville, unanimously endorsed
the plan to erect the building, and
the lodges from all over the State
are cooperating in an effort to have
the addition completed in 1911.
The plan agreed upon is that each
lodge in the State will give the
amount secured from the first ten
candidates for the Rank of Knight
hood to the Grand Lodge for the pur-
pose of erecting the girls dormitory,
which is badly needed.

NOTICE, TOBACCO POOLERS!
YOU MUST MAKE DATES

At a meeting of the finance COM
mittee held here Monday, it was de-
cided that in order to regulate the
delivery of tobacco here so as to
avoid a rush which would cause the
growers needless expense and worry,
that we should adopt the registry
plan, that is, that anyone having to-
bacco ready to deliver, should notify
me and | will register their load or
loads and set a day for them to de-
liver. But 1t should be clearly I'M
derstood that anyone falling to come
at the time set for them, lose their
turn and will be dropped from the
register. Now, in order to make this
plan a success, it will be necessary
for the people to cooperate with me
and not register until they have
their tobacco stripped and ready for
delivery and then get there as early
as they can, so that we may have
time to get 1t unloaded.

MADE
ON REGENT CENSUS
Indicate a Total Population of
0l,OOO,OOO-Gain is Nearly
y Per Cent.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The total
population of the United States as
revealed by the thirteenth census is
expected to be announced by the
census bureau on December 10.
Counting Arizona and New Mex
leo as States, the totals for twenty
eight out of the forty-eight States
already have been announced. The
grand total for twenty-six of these
States is 6O,O36,759, which is gain
of between 81 and 22 per cent. over
the population in the same States in
1900. At this rate of increase, the
total population of the country
should be about 91,OO0,OOO.
The most striking development of
the census so far shown is the
relative growth of cities and indus
trial centers as compared with the
farming regions. The Eastern States
have more than held their own,
while the States of the middle West
have fallen of.

WIFE FAITHFUL TO HUSBAND

Louisville, KY, Dec. 3.-Joseph
Vending must serve the rest of his
natural life in the penitentiary for
the murder of little Alma Kellner,
according to the verdict of the jury,
which was turned into court at
1920 o'clock tonight.
All the arguments were conclud-
ed at 5:25 o'clock, when the jury
retired to their rooms to consider
the fate of a man who is thought to
be more guilty than the late DR..
Crippen, having committed a more
outrageous crime.
After the Jury had been Out four
hours, it began to look as If they
could not agree, and all during their
absence Vending sat patiently wait
ing for the news as to his fate.
\At 1910 o'clock the sheriff an
nounced that the jury had come to
an agreement, and they were order
ed to report. AS they slowly filed
into the court room, and when the
foreman handed the clerk their YER
dict, Weddings lips were seen to
twitch, and the only change in the
expression of his face was when he
smiled when the clerk said guilty"
which indicated to the spectators
that it might have been worse.
AS soon as the verdict was ac-
cepted by the court and the jury dis
charged, Mr.. Clements, chief coun-
sci for Vending, announced that he
would file grounds for a new trial,
and If overruled, he would prepare
the case for the Court of Appeals.
Vending, followed by one of the
largest crowds that has assembled
in the court house for years, was
taken back to jail. and placed in his
cell. Mrs. Vending was not in the
court room to hear her husband s
fate, but soon Joined him at the Jail.

FEARFUL COST OF
... .---........--T THE HUNTING SEASON

Chicago, Dec. 1.-The hunting
season of 1910, which closed yester-
day in 23 States, cost 113 lives, ac-
cording to statistics as collected by
The Tribune. This is considerably
more than were killed during any
previous session of which there is a
record. The loss of life in 1909 was
eighty-seven; in 1908, fifty-seven;
in 1907, eighty-two and in 1906,
seventy-four.
The number of injured this sea-
son, however, is less than year ago,
only eighty-one having been hurt
this year against 1O4 for the season
of 1909. 1t is likely the death list
this year will be considerably in
creased later by reason of the fatal
termination in the cases of many Of
the injured.
Mistaken for a deer" and shot
by a companion" continue to lead as
the reason for the shooting of hunt
ers. Michigan heads the list with
twenty-seven killed.

The figures, published to-day Off

In some of the counties there
were night rider disturbances, and
these are blamed by some for the de-

PRESIDENT DIAz TRIES
TO PLACATE THE REBELS
Sends Peace Commission to In
surgentS to Try to End
the Revolution.

Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 5.-The insur-
rectionary troubles in Mexico took
on an entirely unexpected aspect
here when it became known that the
Government had made overtures of
peace.
A peace commission has been APP
pointed by Diaz, according to a spec
ial to the Times from chihuahua, to
treat with the disaffected element,
and the commission is now in San
Isidor, where the insurrectionists are
strong. The trip from Chihuahua
was made in a special train over the
Mexican Northwestern, flying a white
flag on the engine. The commission
is composed of Chihuahua men, but
the personnel is not given.
The explanation of this move is
that foreign interests have brought
strong pressure to bear on the Gov
eminent to end the turmoil by pla-
eating the insurgents.
This is the first time in thirty
years that the Mexican Government
has been the first to suggest peace
terms with insurrectionists. All de.
tails are lacking.

Has Passed to Her Eter-
nal Reward.
MRS. BAKER GLOVER EDDY DEAD
End Comes Peacefully in Her
Goth Year-NO PhySi-
clan Present.
NATURAL CAUSES" END LIFE

Boston, Dec. Airs. Baker Glow
er Eddy, the discoverer and founder
of Christian Science, is dead. An
nouncement of the passing of the
venerable leader, which occurred
late last night at her home at Chest
nut Hill, suburb, was made at the
morning service of the mother
church, in this city, to-day.
Natural causes" explains the
death, according 20 Dr.. George-L.-
West, a district medical examiner,
who was summoned a few hours af-
ter Mrs. Eddy passed away. Later
DR.. West added to his statement by
saying that the more immediate
cause was probably pneumonia.
The news of Mrs. Eddy's death
was made known simultaneously by
Judge Clifford p. Smith, first reader
of the church, at the close of the
morning service, and by Alfred Far
low, of the Christian Science publ
cation committee, in a statement to
the press.
According to Mr.. Farlow, Mrs. Ed
dy passed away at a quarter before
IL o'clock last night.
'She had been indisposed for
about nine days" said Mr.. Farlow's
statement, but had been up and
dressed and as late as Thursday
transacted some business with one
of the officials of the Christian Sci
ence church. She took her daily af-
ternoon drive until two days before
her going. Saturday night she fell
quietly asleep and those around her
could at first hardly realize that she
had gone. Her thought was clear
until the last and she left no final
message.
mo physician was in attendance,
but she had the assistance of the
students who comprised her house
hold With her at the time of her
departure were Mr.. Calvin A. Frye,
Mrs. Laura E. Sargent, Mrs. Ella S.
Rathvon, the Rev. Irving c. Tomlin-
son; her corresponding secretary,
William r. Rathvon, and her sec
rotary, Adam H. Dickey.
mo arrangements regarding the
time or place of her burial have yet
been decided upon. 1t is we'll known
to her household that she believed
in simplicity on such occasions, and
in compliance with this knowledge
it is expected that the services will
be private and of a simple nature,
consisting probably of prayer and
readings from the Bible, with some
brief selections from the Christian
Science textbook. Only her rela-
tives, her household and the officials
of the church are expected to be in
attendance.
There having been no physician
in attendance, DR.. George L. West,
of Newton Center, medical examiner
for the district, was called early
Sunday morning. DR.. West, after
investigation, pronounced her death
due to natural causes" and issued
the customary certificate.
"A telegram was sent to her son,
George w. Glover, of Lead, S. D.,
apprising him of his mothers de-
mise and requesting information of
his attendance and that of his fam
lily.
Mrs. Eddy was born in Bow, n.
H., July 16, 1921, and was there
fore, in her ninetieth year"

Chairman of the Campaign Commit
tee, and to formally announce him
self as a candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination for Secretary of
State. He made a nice talk and re-
turned his thanks in an earnest way
to the members of the committee, all
of whom had done such valiant SER
vice for the party during the cam
paign just passed. He said he hop
ed to have the united support of the
Democrats of Ohio county in his as
pirations for Secretary of State, he
being perhaps the first and only man
from our home county who has ever
offered for State office.
So far, Mr.. Likens has no opposi-
ton and that he deserves the nomi-
nation and the Office, goes without
saying. For many years he has
been an earnest and hard worker in
Democratic ranks, often sacrificing
personal interest and concern for the
sake of the ticket. His ability to per-
form the duties of Secretary of State
is without question. He has large
acquaintance and is popular wher-
ever known. The fact that he is a
home man and so well fitted for the
place he seeks, should Undue every
Democrat of the county with zeal
to work for his success. Mr.. Likens
is in the race to win and he will use
every honorable EFFORT to accomplish
his ambition. His chances are splen-
did and he should not be without
the united support of his home coun-
ty.
The resignation of Mr.. Likens as
Chairman of the Ohio County Demo
cratic Campaign Committee will ne
cessitate the election of another good
man to fill the vacancy. The lack
of a quorum present prevented this
being done Monday. 1t was suggest
ed at the meeting that the Secretary
OF the Committee (Heber Matthews)
call a meeting of the members of the
Committee for some date early in
the spring, which will be done in due
time. When the call is made, it is
necessary that every member be
present without failure, at the time
designated, in order to choose the
new chairman. II a member can
not possibly attend, he may employ
and empower a proxy, who will act
under explicit instructions, but every
member should not fail to be pres
ent II at all possible.
The events of the occasion Mon
day were certainly very enjoyable,
and the members Of the Committee
present voted their unanimous
thanks to Mr.. Likens for his hospi-
tality and generosity, both for the
dinner and the valuable prizes which
he so fittingly offered for Democrat
ic effort Besides the Chairman and
Secretary, the other members of the
committee present were:

GUARDIANSHIP TO BE FILLED

Just after the recent election, Mr..
G. B. Lkens, chairman of the Ohio
County Democratic Campaign Com
mittee, issued an invitation to the
members of the Committee to meet
him in Hartford on December 5 and
partake of dinner at his expense, the
occasion being a general felicitation
over the result of the election and
also to award gold prizes to the
two precincts of the county, first and
second, which showed the greatest
per cent. of Democratic gain in the
recent election over the vote cast two
years ago for the same gentlemen
for office. 1t was a very inclement
day and consequently only about a
dozen of the committeeman were en-
abled to come. Those who were
here, however, were amply repaid
for the trip.
The1adies of the Acknowledgement,
who are holding their annual ba-
zaar at the Commercial Hotel build
ing, served the dinner, and it was
elegant in every respect. A menu
equal to the best city hotel was at
the disposal of the delighted guests
and others who patronize this worthy
effort of the ladies.
At the conclusion of the repast
the members of the Committee re-
: paired to the once of Attorney H.

OF the session was entered into. A
committee was selected to award the
prizes to the winning election pre-
cincts. This was composed of At

and Mr.. L. l.. Stewart. After sum-
ming up the result of the last two
Congressional elections in this coun-
ty, the committee reported through
Mr.. Taylor as spokesman, who an
nounced that the two winning pre-
cincts were Rosine and East Fords-
Vile. A computation of the figures
showed that Rosine-the brag Re-
publican stronghold of Ohio coun-
ty-had made Democratic gain of
$50 per cent, and East Fordsville
came second with a gain of SO per
cent. The different precincts and
