A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT
Young Boy Near Town Is Instantly Killed And
Horribly Hangled By Falling Tree.

The most horrible accident that
has occurred in this section in
many years happened Saturday al
ternoon mile west of town, when
Ernest Cathey, the 13-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. V. Cathey, was
instantly killed by a falling tree,
This terrible accident happened
in a way perhaps never heard of
before. The victim, with his father
and two brothers, was Telling tim
ber in the woods and a tree which
had just been cut fell against an
other tree close by. The weight Of
the falling tree broke loose the roots
of the standing tree On one side,
and when the first tree had fallen
to the ground the other, in coming
back to its original position, was
torn from its roots and began to
fall. Mr. Cathey, seeing the danger
his son was in, cried to him to get
out of the way, but to no avail, the
lad only assuming a crouching pO-
Sition and receiving the full force
of the main body of the tree, large
one, as it fell. The tree struck the
boy in the back, splitting open a
huge hole in the body. Many bones
of the body were broken and some
were protruding from the flesh. Oh
course the boy did not live a second
after the tree bore him to the
ground. So great was the force OF
the blow that the boys body made
a hole in the earth at least eight
inches deep. Mr.. Cathey and his
sons were forced to saw the tree in,
to in two places before the dead
body could be extricated. AS soon
as news of the accident spread sev.

Gov. Donashey Speaks Here

Governor George w. DOnaghey
spoke at the court house here last
Friday morning. A number OF
people came to town to hear the
Governor and the public school was
dismissed for the occasion, giving
him a fairly good crowd. The gov
ernor's speech was arepetition OF MS
printed speech, with a copy OF
which every voter has no doubt
been supplied, therefore we attempt
no extended account OF it. his
address was listened to with inter
est. and at its conclusion the gov-
ernor was applauded.
We feel safe in saying Governor
D0naghey did not gain a vote by
his speech here. Perhaps he lost
strength. He missed an opportun-
ity to make supporters.
If the Governor had said i am
going to explain to your satisfaction
why | wanted the last legislature
to give me $4,000 for use on the
capitol" and then done it, he would
have made friends. He didn't even
mention that matter.
If the governor had said, i am
the father Of the Turner-JacobsOn
tax bill and | am going to prove to
YOU that this bill is drawn in the
interest of the small taxpayer" and
then done it, he would have made
friends. He said the T-J bill was
too long to explain at that time,
but that he would come back some
other time and make that eXplana-
| ton.
If the governor had said, i am
accused of being responsible for the
bankrupt condition of the state
treasury, but | am going to prove
to you I am not" and then done it,
he would have made friends. He
let that pass, too. He made the
amazing statement that he had
saved the state a million and a
half dollars since he went into Of
fee. What if somebody had said
to him, That's good, governor, but
in view of the fact that the state
treasury is empty and taxes have
not been reduced, WHERE'S THE
MONEY!"
The governor didnot discuss the
vital points of his record Instead
he talked of the rings" and gangs
ID % trusts" that arc after him. Il
was noticeable, however, that he
dave his audience no names in this
connection. If you we're unac
quainted with the facts, and shoulc
believe what governor Donaghey
says in his speech, you would ineV
itably reach but one conclusion
and that is this: Every clean, hon
est, honorable man in the state il
supporting Donaghey and every
dirty disreputable, characterlesS
man in the state is supporting Rob.
inson.
What a speech from the CHIEF
executive of one Of the greatest
and proudest states Of the Union
That speech is enough, if such q
thing were possible at all, to make
such grand characters as Augustus
H. Garland, Simon P, Hughes, Jas
P. Eagle and others, who in other
times occupied the governors chair
with credit to themselves and all
the people, groan in their honored
last resting places on the account
of a debasement of the governors
office, the like of which was never
even dreamed of in their days

end of the last fiscal year. BY execu-
tive order issued in July, 1908, President
Roosevelt placed the fourth class post
masters of all of the New England
states and of New York. New Jersey
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan
and Wisconsin in the civil service-a
total of 13, 634 Those still without the
service number 36,03S.
While the details of the proposition
have not been worked out, it is ex-
pected the gathering into classified ser
vice of this great number of officials
will be accomplished by the designation
of the postmaSterS of groups OF states
successfully. 1t will require an i'm
mense amount of labor on the part of
the civil service commission particu-
larIy. as well as on the part of the
postoffice department.
Both the president and Postmaster
General Hitchcock have recommended
to congress that all postmasters be
converted into the classified service
and that so far is possible the entire
personnel of the postal service be re-
moved from political influence AS to
the first, second and third class post
masters. legislation by congress would
be required to place them under civil
service regulations; but the president
now has authority, under certain lini-
tations of competency and efficiency, tc
put postmasters of the fourth class
under the protection of the civil sell
vice rules.

BEGIN FIGHT NOW
Western Kansas Legislature
Candidates Want Irrigation.
Fallas of Logan Already Plan
ming Campaign in House.

Oakley, Kan, Sept 24.-W. E.
Fallae of Oakley, nominee of the Re-
publicans for the legislature from Lo-
gan county, is enthusiastically for
western Kansas irrigation. If elected
he VII ask for state AID to esta blish
experiment stations in western Kansas
for the purpose of teaching the people
how to go about the work with the
minimum expense. Mr. Fallas wrote
to several members nominated in ad-
joining counties, and has received
favorable replies from his letters. 1t
is safe to say from the encouraging
responses he has received there will
be something doing in the early open
ing of the legislature. Mr.. Fallas be-
lieves that by pump irrigation much
can be accomplished in western KAN
sas. OF the twenty-five or more can
didates written to for an expression on
the subject not a negative reply was
received.
The Oakley Graphic which prints
these letters from the several nomi-
nees for the legislature says:
There isn't any gloom here. There
is more grit and nerve and spine in one
of those old boys who have helped to
make western Kansas than there is in
a whole regiment of lion hunters.

TO GO OUT OF POLITICS
Fourth Class Postmasters to Be Placed

Washington Sept. 24.-It has been
practically decided that President Taft

postmasters in the classified service
This order relieving 36,O3S postmasters

pointment, win be one of the most

That the president would take this
STEP his first act toward putting into
practice his often expressed belief that
all government officers below the grade
of ca binet member should be removed
from the influence of politics and
placed under the civil service, became
practically certain after a delegation of
postmasters, returning from the annual
convention of the association at Rich
mond, Va, had been received at the
White House. and by Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock. The visitors submit
ted a monster petition, signed by about
10000 postmasters, asking that they be
placed in the classified list. After dis
cussing the matter briefly with the del
egation President Taft referred the ex-
ecutive committee of the association to
Mr.. Hitchcock for further considera-
ton of the matter. Later the COM
mittee called upon the postmaster gen
eraI to discuss the subject with him.
In a few days Mr.. Hitchcock will

the recommendation.

The governors choice, Congressman
William Hughes, of Paterson, is oppos-
ed by former Senator James Smith,
Jr, of Newark, whose candidacy for
the office met defeat less than two
wears ago because of Governor Will
sons opposition. This year Governor
Wilson has opposedro Mr.. Smith in
speeches and statements addressed To
the Democrat voters. Two other names
appear on the primary ballot as candi-
dates for the senatorship viz: Former
Judge Wescott of Camden, and Frank
NJ. McDermit, of Newark. Mr. Wescott
withdrew recently in favor of Mr..
Hughes, but the ballots containing his
name already had been printed. Mr..
McDer1nit is running independently of
either faction.
Nominations also will be made by the
Democrats and Republicans for the
members of the lower house of the as
sembly, go in all, SIX state senators,
- congressman and municipal and
county officials. The polls close at 9
o'clock tonight. No ticket has been
placed in the field by the National
Progressives who plan to nominate a
full state ticket by petition after the
primaries. Persons voting today will

The senator to succeed Mr.. Briggs

ture which is morally bound, however,

"The Rosary" Rowland and Cliff

seen at the Grand tonight, tells story
of a modern Garden of Eden in which
the serpent enters in the form of
rejected sutton, who wrecks the home
and happiness of a married couple by
playing upon the jealousy of the hus-
band There is diffused throughout
the drama remarkable air OF purity,

which pictures the happy couple about
to celebrate their second marriage an

creature comforts of modern civiliza-

broken in health and fortune, and
wrecked by jealousy come like two
weary children at the feet of the old

frightened by thrusting the characters
into the artistic Bohemian set of New

refuses to marry Louis Neville, an artist,
