Mrs. Carrie Nation Dead.

Mrs. Carrie Nation diem last Friday
June 9Th at sanitarium in Leaven-
worth Kansas. Her death was due to
paresis, the result of worry over law
suits which she instituted against a
lecture bureau for alleged failure to
pay her salary.
Mrs. Nation was born in Woodford
county Kentucky in 1916. she was a
half sister of Mr.. Thomas Moore, who
until recently was resident of Gar
rard county, living at the famous
Camp Dick Robinson farm near Bry-
antsville, where Mrs. Nation frequent
ly visited him.
The remains were taken to Kansas
City Mo. where she had nephew, and
were there laid to rest on last Sunday.
Mrs. Nation attracted world wide at
tention few years ago by her procliv-
tiles for smashing saloons, Ratchet
being her weapon. In her early life
she married man addicted to the use
of intOXicants, which created in her
an intense aversion to the saloon.
When he died she determined to de-
vote her life to the suppression of the
liquor traffic. Later she moved to
Kansas and married DAVID Nation who
sympathized with her principles.
Mrs. Nations first saloon smashing
was done in the barroom Of the Carey
Hotel in Wichita, December q, 1900.
She was arrested and remained in Jail
several days before she was released
on bond.
On January 81, 1901. armed with
her favorite hatchet, Mrs. Nation
made another raid in Wichita. This
time she smashed two saloons.
During the next three months Mrs.
Nation surprised the saloonkeepers in
various Kansas towns, appearing un-
heralded and leaving a trail of ruined
barroom fixtures wherever she went.
Many saloonkeepers became terror
striker when the militant prohibition
duNOCdIcu III iONhCo
their places and fed before the Ratchet
could get into action.
Remarkably few saloon men used
violence in restricting Mrs. Nation, al
though she was assaulted and badly
hurt while wrecking bar at Enter
prise, Kan. By this time the State of
Kansas was in ferment. Aroused by
the spirit of the dauntless woman from
Kentucky, the people began to demand
that all the saloons be closed. Smash
ing parties were organized all over the
State The saloon power was being
wrecked. AS result of the agitation
bills were passed by the Legislature
which strengthened the State prohibit
tory law.
Erratic as her life has been, Mrs.
Nation was responsible for the great
est prohibition awakening in Kansas.

Evolution OF The Public School.

But a casual glance at our splendid
Lancaster Graded School Building and
a slight inquiry as to the work done
within its walls serves to bring fore,
bly, to the mind of any old inhabitant OF
Lancaster the remarkable progress
made along educational lines within
the past twenty five years ago.
Some there are who will tell you that
the present building is not adapted tc
school purposes, and perhaps they are
right, but what would these people
have said twenty five years ago wher
the public school in Lancaster was con.
Quoted in one room, and that rented
one.
Had Lancaster made as rapid strides
in other directions as along educationa
lines in the last quarter of a century
she would have now been a city of 5, 00(
inhabitants.
We can well remember when the
public school was conducted in a room
where-ever one could be rented, unit
finally building was erected on the
banks of what was then known as
"Dunlaps pond" Most of the time
there was but one teacher, sometimes
as assistant, but the public money in
those days was inadequate to pay even
one first class educator living price
for his labors. Over hundred pupils
would be gathered together in this
small room, and as matter of course
the teacher was unable to devote
enough atteation to his classes to in
sure any thing like the benefit which
the pupils now receive in school. In
those days pupil must have strong
desire for learning, if their schooling
was to be of any benefit to them, fol-
one teacher. was intrusted with the
hearing of all the lessons from the ga
Be Glass; in the early morning to
the rays third part at letting out
time in the afternoon, and he had but
very little time to devote to the drones,
if they failed to come up with their
lessons the result was usually whip
ping or staying in', more frequently
the former.
Fewer pupils went to college in those
DAYS than now, parents were not able

Does an electric line connecting the
large cities with their country neigh
bbrs injure the business in the country
towns? If the thrift and business of
the city of Shelbyville is any indica-
ton, it certainly does not. Though
only thirty miles from Louisville and
connected not only by an interurban
line, but by two railroads and with
trains running every hour in the day
between there and Louisville, Shelby
vile is one of the best business points
in the state. Her merchants are just
as up-to-date as those of Louisville and
place their wares before the public in
lust as attractive manner as the mer-
chants of Louisville Last weeks is
sue Of the Shelby Seminal contained
Is pages and the number of page ads
that was taken up by the merchants
was an indication of their thrift. These
people are keeping abreast of the
times, instead of complaining of the
march of progress, they are keeping up
with it, are setting forth the virtue of
their own wares instead of bemoaning
the close proximity that is given them
to larger markets by the introduction
of the improvements of the day into
their locality. The result is that their
business is kept at home, and by keep
ing the proper class of goods and judi
iciously advertising them they render
it unnecessary and inadvisable for their
citiz ems to seek a foreign market in
order to satisfy their wants.

to send them, and the great majority
had to be content with what little
learning they could gather in the pub
lie school.
How different nowadays, how posi-
tive the prove of the onward march Of
education. Now we have one of the
most commodious buildings in the
county converted into a Public School
building, half score or more of effici-
ent teachers, who themselves are max
ing every effort to keep abreast of the
times in the matter of education, they
have their text books and literature to
study, the same as the children, they
attend Institutes and normal schools
and other places where advanced ideas
in regard to teaching are dispensed, in
short they themselves are but pupils,
constantly studying that they may in
turn be better equipped for teaching
the children.
OF course the taxable property In
the county is more valuable now than
then, Yields more money for the school,
the per capita from the state is larger;
nor is the state fund and the county OF
district levy the only available fund OF
the Lancaster Graded School; one OF
our noblest citizens, a good and chart
table man, who recognized the good
this school was doing, died few wears
since, leaving no near kin, and after {
few minor requests to his nearest rela'
tives, he wilIed the remainder of {
goodly fortune in trust to this institu'
ton of learning. He even went so fal
as to arrange the details as to how
this fund was to be handled, it was
placed in the hands of trustees anC
they have invested it in one of the
best blue grass farms in Garrard county
the income derived therefrom eacf
year to b turned over to the direct
trustees Of the schools for its use anC
benefit.
The consequence of this educationa
progress is that we have school, which
we think is second to none, one in which
child may be equipped for the ordin
airy walks of life. may secure an educa
ton that will enable them to go out in
to the world and earn a livelihood a
almost any calling he may choose. No
is this progress confined to GarrarC
county, Kentucky educational progress
has been remarkable, her institution
Of learning, private and public, ar
coming to be known the world over
