against Mr. Kavanaugh In his present race ne

platform is for Statewide Prohibition while Mr..
Robinson's PLATFORM or at least his declaration, is
opposed to Statewide Prohibition ! do not know
but that Mr. Robinson would make good governor,
no better, however, than Mr.. Donaghey and his
platform is against us, Therefore, | see no logical
reason for supporting him, ! shall vote for Mr.
Donaghey, with no personal prejudice against Mr.
Robinson, whatever Mr. DOnaghey does not meet
Mr. Robinson on the stump presume, for the reas-
on that he knows, as everybody else knows, that

to exist, grow and develop on and

Col. Roosevelt Shot Attempt Made On
Life Of Ex-President As He Entered
An Automobile In Front Of A
milwaukee Hotel.

On Monday evening as Col. Theodore
Roosevelt was entering an automobile
in front of the Gilpatrick hotel in Mil
waukee, Wis. preparatory TO going to
a speech, a man in the crowd fired a
revolver point blank at him the bullet
entering his right breast and lodg-
ing in the fleshy tissues. The
wound inflicted was thought to be slight
and the doughty ex-president proceeded
on his journey and made his speech be-
fore having the wound dressed, The
man was quickly Overpowered and
hustled to a cell in the police station,
Col Roosevelt himself urging the
angered crowd who were crying Lynch
him.. to avoid any act of violence
toward the man.
The prisoner told the police after an
hours examination that he was John
Schrank, of $40 East Tenth street, New
York. He had on his person copy of
the Colonel,s itinerary, written on a
sheet of note paper taken from the Bis
marck Hotel and cafe. Nashville,
Tenn.
The would-be assassin is five feet five
inches in height, weighs ITO pounds,

dressed He confessed to the police

! Written in German: "A strong tower

The man had followed Col. Roose-
welt from New York, to Charleston,
New Orleans, and many other cities
seeking an opportunity to kill him. but
seems not to have found it until he
reached Milwaukee. Col. Roosevelt's
physicians state that the wound is a
superficial one, that the ball did not
penetrate the abdominal wall, that the
lungs are not touched and no serious
results are apprehended.
Later: The injury sustained by Col.
Roosevelt is more severe than was at
first reported, though no danger is an
ticlpated. unless some complications
should arise. The bullet is reported
lodged against the fourth rio on the
Colonel's right side. His secretaries
have made the announcement that Col.
Roosevelt would make no more speech
eff during the campaign. He was re-
moved to Mercy Hospital Chicago
where the most noted surgeons in the
country led by DR.. John Murphy are
attending him.

No sane or evenly balanced person
would attribute the attempted assasi-
nation of ex-President Roosevelt to
any other cause than to the diseased
state of mind of some crank, which
is clearly the condition of the man
Schrank, who fired the shot which
was intended to take the Colonel
life. 1t is the height of folly to ascribe
this state of mind to the utterances of
any particular person; it is true that in
the height of the campaign there are
many utterances made which are calcu-
lated to incite the mind of the more in
flammable class, nor are these utter
ances confined to any particular party
or representative, with all due defer
ence to him, the Colonel himself is not
any too overly guarded in his utter
ances. These words falling from the
lips of campaign orators are taken up
by these diseased minded beings, con-
torted magnifed, thought over until
their alreadily badly balanced brain
gives away and they conceive it their
duty to correct the imagined wrongs,
the result is murder or attempt to muir
der.
1t is unjust and the heigth of folly to
place such crime at the door of any
party, or to the utterances of any of
the leaders of the party; Mr. Roosevelt
We do not believe would utter one word
that would cause harm to fall upon the
head of Mr.. Taft or Mr. Wilson. no
more would one of these gentlemen
give voice to an utterance that would
rebound to the injury of Mr. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt is the victim of being a
great man, famous man; the cause of
which led to the death of our latest
martyred president, the beloved Nc
Kinley, of the greatest Mayor Chicago
ever knew, Carter H. Hamilton. Sr both
of whom fell by the hand of an assass-
in and crank, just such as attempted
the life of Col. Roosevelt.

School Fair A Success In Every Particu
lar And Speaks In Glowing Terms
Of The Rapid Strides Made In
Late Years In The Schools
Of The County.

The School Fair held at the court
| 1ouse on last Saturday was a success
beyond the fondest expectations of all
concerned in its promotion. An i'm
mense crowd was attracted to hear the
efforts of the children, and everyone
was favorably impressed by the prog
ress made by the pupils of the various
schools of the county. The exhibits
were of the highest order, not only
those along educational lines, but in
farm products, needle handiwork and
many other things that are calculated
to be useful in after life, showing con-
clusively that the splendid corps of
rural teachers of Garrard county are
making every effort to prepare their
pupils to become useful men and
women in the future. The map draw
ing showed knowledge of the geog-
raphieal, Typographical and geological
status of our state which is equalled
by very few of their elders, the maps
being we'll executed, colored and the
various resources If the state properly
charted thereon. Following is correct
list of the awards
1. In the spelling contest Bessie
King of Logan Chapel School and Nor
ris Calico of the Gainesville school
stood last and both finally missed the
same word. The first prize of Five
Dollars and second of Two Dollars and
fifty cents were added and divided
equally between them. Irvine Stapp
Of Gums Chapel school WIS awarded
third prize a ribbon. 80
2. In the Declamatory contest Alta
Hammond of the Beechwood school
was awarded first prize of Five Dollars
in gold given by the Womap's Club.
Second prize of Two Dollars and fifty

more School, and third prize a ribbon

2. Prof. J. w. Dickey of the West

his words of encouragement were enjoy
ed by all.
8. Miss Aubyn Chinn of the State
University of Lexington gave an inter-
esting address on THE Home in the

4. Prof. J. W. Ireland of Stanford
added much to the interest Of the pro-
gram with his music which always de-
lights his audiences.
5. Mrs. George D. Robinson Pres.
of the Woman's Club gave an inspiring
talk on "Music in the Public Schools.
6. Hon. J. w. Newman State Com.
of Agriculture spoke most enthusiastic
ly on the Farm in the School,, and
spoke words of praise of the boys ex-
hibit of corn, also of the boys and
judges.
z, Hon. McHenry Rhodes State Su-
pervisor of High Schools of Frankfort
addressed the audience on the ''Pratic-
al Side of Our Modern Education.
Prof. Calfee of Berea addressed the
audience. his subject being 1.-The Power
Of The Teacher. His remarks were
very interesting.
The success of the Fair is in a great
measure due to Misses Stella Hendren
and Margaret O'hearn, the Vice
president and Secretary, respectively,
who were untiring in their efforts in
behalf of the occasion; and they were
ably assisted by every teacher in the
county, all taking the greatest possible
interest in the preparations. and that
all were amply repaid for their interest
is proven by the wishes heard expressed
on every side that the effair be made
an annual one. and that it be allotted
more than one day and the scope
materially increased.
Until the Fair" was given, no at
tempt upon a general scale has ever
been made to show to the people of the
county just what was being accomplish
ed in the rural schools, each district
has had its Friday afternoon exercises,
which as a usual thing do not attract
many visitors. The Fair, to use a
common expression, fairly opened the
eyes of the people to the progress of
the schools; it fully demonstrated that
an able superintendent having under
her charge a willing, earnest and faith
full corps of teachers, was doing every
thing possible to advance the cause of
education in the county, and that their
efforts were being abundantly rewarded
1t is to be hoped that we shall have
a School Fair every year, that more
time will be devoted to it, that the list
of exhibits will be materially increased
and there is not merchant or business
institution in the county who will not
be willing to contribute literally to the
premium list.

1t is q shame that the geographical
center of Lancaster with the possibili-
ties for becoming a "City beautiful
which it has, should present the dilap-
idated appearance which it does. The
park" is capable of being made a
thing of beauty, an ornament to the
city, but instead of being such, it is a
veritable eye sore. The "Ciyie Lea
gue," an organization composed of the
good ladies of the town, desires to take
this centrally located plot in charge and
make it presentable, to make of it an
ornament to the community instead of
the haven for idle urchans and straw
dogs, which it now is.
We are reliably informed that some
months since the city agreed to donate
a sum, something like $500. for this
purpose, that an ,opder to this effect is
Row really upon the council books of
the city; if the county would donate a
like amount and this aggregation sum
would be supplemented bya like amount
by the ladies, which we understand
would and could readily he done, the
park, and also the public square could
be placed in a first class and presea-
table condition. The only drawback
seems to be the fact that there is a
controversy as to the ownership of
the ''paEk", and suit now pending
in the Garrard circuit court to settle
this CONTROVERSY. NoW that the pos
sibility of this site ever being used as

Democrats you are taking too much
for granted. We have reiterated this
fact to you during the present cam
paign, time and again. The election
of Wilson &. Marshall seem assured,
BUT, nothing in this world is actually
sure, save death and taxes. There is
universal feeling that 1--WE are going
to win anyway and there is no necess-
ity for campaign fund. Don't you
believe it. There never was a wagon
that would run without greasing, no
more will the grand old democratic
band wagon, it must have grease, it is
running, but in order to keep it going
it must be CREASED. Self confidence
upon the part of the democratic party,
upon the part of the democrats of the
country individually will not keep this
campaign moving. The warfare must
be made aggressive and must be incess-
ant. the enemy must be assailed upon
all sides and increasingly, and in order
to do this, funds must be had. There
are no corporations financing Woodrow
Wilson's campaign, there are no steel
trusts or trusts of any description to
dump uncounted millions into the Golfers
of the campaign committee; the cam
paign is being financed by the great
common people, by popular subscription;
and sad to relate, owing entirely to
this feeling of overconfdence, the fin
ances are not nearly what they should
be, and it has become necessary to
send out an urgent appeal for more
funds. Only about one third the amount
of money needed for the actual and
necessary expenses of the campaign
have been subscribed; thousands OF
democrats, who if they thought it ne
cessary, would give and give literally,
have not given a cent. TITS necessary
better to give now than to regret not
giving later. This money will be put
to good use, not wasted, help, with a
dollar, or more if you can, but help.

for any monetary value ever accruing
