Chicago. Dec. 2s--Wire nets are to
be placed over the rotunda OF the
Masonic temple building here to dis
courage attempts to commit suicide and
to protect persons passing through the
building from injury from falling
bodies.
The nets viii be spread from the
fourth and the twelfth story ratings
and will be of sufficient strength to re-
sist the impact of the body of an ordin-
airy man falling from a considerable
height.
The installation OF life nets was
recommended in the verdict of the
coroners jury in the inquest over the
body Of John #. Greek who last week
dived from the nineteenth floor of the
rotunda killing himself and severely,
injurying Harry Evans of Bay City,
who was standing beside the cigar
stand on which the body of Greek
struck.

Carrie Nations VIII.

The will of Mrs. Carrie A. Nation

Washington, D. C. last Saturday.
After remembering generously her
only child. Clarion McNable, and niece
Carrie Moore, she gives the residue of
her estate for the Carrie A. Nation
Home for drunkard' S wives and widows
at Kansas City, Kansas. The book of
her life and all rights Hereunder goes
to w. C. I. u. of Kansas. Mrs.
Nation published 1.-THE Hatchet' for
sometime, and previous to her last
illness was dramatizing the story Of
her arrests in Washington, which was
to have been presented in a theatre of
that city in May. Perhaps the most
memorable episode of her Ratchet ex-
petition was when she smashed the
bar in the Union Station in Washing
ton, when she threw three hatchets
which were labeled Faith, Hope, and
Charity. 1t is said that every saloon
that felt the blow of her weapon was
either licensed falsely or unlicened.
The management of saloon in the
Capitol City, offered her five hundred
dollars at one time to smash it, !"
they desired advertisement. In her
will she requests that her body be
burned in Bolton, Md. Mrs. Nation

charities in her home city have been
largely benefited by her gifts. Eek.

Rome was not built in a day, and
while we have made considerable
strides since the building of Rome, yet
We have not yet reached the advanced
stage where railroads are built in a
day. But be patient, our electric line
is going to be built, and we believe it
is going to be built through Garrard
county too. Every thing touching or
the proposed route is being carefully
watched and we do not propose to be
caught mapping. Latest advices to
the Development Association officers
are that the representatives of the
company who propose to build the road
will start on prospecting tour over
the various proposed routes in the mid
summer, probably in August. In the
meantime let us leave no word unsaid,
nothing undone that will be of assist
ance to the county in securing this ex-

The browning of England's King was
attended with more pomp and mag
nificense than any event that has taken
place within the last half century, and
for months past London has been the
mecca Of only the worshipers of nobili-
ty, but not tourists and curiosity seek
erS from all over the world.
The Coronation proper took place on
the 22nd at Westminster Abbey, but
the ceremonies attending the noted
event began early in the week and will
continue throughout the week and. well
into next.
Of course the browning of king is
an event that takes place but once in a
lifetime, but all this ado over the event
when it does take place makes one
glad that they live in this democratic
country, where the Inauguration of the
President is simple event, which con-
sists only of the taking Of the oath of
Office, and while it attracts a great
many of our own people to Washington
at the time, most Of them being friends
and politicians who are glad their

The reception given by President and
Mrs. Taft at the white house on the
18th, it being the anniversary of their
silver wedding, was in striking con-
trast to the functions now in progress
in England. While invitations had
been sent cut to at least $4,000 people
and 5000 of them responded, yet the
reception was thoroughly informal, be-
ing held in the open air in the spacious
grounds surrounding the white house,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Taft stood be-
meath two of the massive trees and re-
ceived their guests. The decorations
We're abundant, not of gold, but con-
sisting mostly of well arranged cleo

were not served from golden platters,
but they We're substantial and plenti-
full, and ofssuch character as would

Broken in health and spirit and in
his declining years forced to seek COM
fort from foreign people and upon a
foreign shore, Ex-President Diaz still
evinces that strong spirit that enabled
him to bring Mexico from a land of
bandits and poems to be one of the lead
ing nations of the earth.
The grand old man last week sailed
from Santander for Paris where he is
to seek medical advice for an abscess,
from which he has long been suffering.
He at last broke the silence which he
has heretofore maintained, and stated
that he surrendered his power in
Mexico in order to avoid the at least a
year of fratricidal bloodshed which
would necessarily follow the putting
down of the instruction. He further
stated that he would never return to
that country except in case of dire
necessity, and then with rifle in hand.

Must Report.

A press dispatch from Frankfort
says: For the first time in the history
of rural schools County School Super
intendents will have to make monthly
reports to the Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction of the condition of the
County Board Treasury. The report
will show the cash on hand at the close
of the preceding month, receipts dur
ing the month, warrants issued and
unpaid at close of month, deficit at
close of month, deficit at close of pre-
ceding month, total warrants issued
and unpaid at close of preceding month,
warrants issued during month and cash
on hand at close of month. The re-
ports will be filed with the Department
of Education. Superintendent Regen-
stein decided on this method of keep
ing in touch with the County Board
Treasury after State Inspector and EX-
aminer Mckenzie R. Todd had inspect
ed the offices of the county School Su-
perintendents. Heretofore the County
School superintendent did not make
any report of the treasury unless called
upon to do so by the Fiscal Court of
the county, and in some of the coun-
ties inspected by Mr.. Todd the Super
intendent had never been called upon
for such report. With such reports
being filed monthly with the Depart
ment of Education the money matters
of the rural schools will be put on a
business basis. Hereafter teachers for
the rural schools will be elected in ev-.
cry county in the State on June "a,
which means that over 5000 teachers
will get certificates to teach on that
date. The rural teachers are selected
by the Trustees of the Division Board
in each county.

A Welcome Rain.

Rain began about ten o'clock Sunday
night and continued throughout the
night, not heavy washing rain, but
Just steady downpour, every drop of
which penetrated the thirsty earth.
This rain means thousands of dollars
in the pockets of Garrard county far
mers; it enabled those who were await
ing a season to finish their tobacco
setting, gave that already set a fine
start, helped oats and corn and in fact
was God send to all vegetation. And
then it cleared away and by Tuesday
the hum Of the binder was heard anC
by the end of the week the wheat crop
will be harvested in the county.

Press Association.

The press boys are gathered at Ger

only enjoying literary feast, but if
reports in the daily papers are to be
credited they are living on the fat of
the land, spring chicken in abundance
and all the perquisites that go with
that toothsome dish.
We very muchregret that the Record
is not represented, but the Editor is
also an attorney and as our circuit
court is in session it is impossible for
him to attend, however our heart is
with the boys and we hope that the
next meeting will not conflict with
other matters and prevent us from at
