Monthly Paper.

Columbus. II have no difficulty
whatever in reaching the conclusion
that an insurance company cannot
lawfully contract in this state to In
demnify en- employer from the result
of injuries occasioned by his wilful act
or from his failure to observe the laws
of the state of Ohio for the protection
Of the life and safety of employee"
e. H. Moere, state insurance super.
intendent citing the foregoing opinion
of Attorney General Hogan, has ad-
dressed communication to every in
surance company doing business in
Ohio, directing that they may not
write policies in contravention to the
instructions implied In the words
quoted, and ordering them to incor-
porate a clause covering this phase
in all contracts written or to be writ
ten.
Reply Is Requested.
This action marks q victory for the
state liability board of awards, which
says insurance companies have been
writing policies protecting clients
from acts of omission and commits
sion. Insurance companies justified
themselves on the ground that, under
the liability act. there still are condi'
tiens under which an injured employe
can sue for damages and 1t was
against this contingency that they
sought to protect their clients.
Mr.. Moore's letter directs that com.
panies shall inform his department
whether they have issued such offend.
ing policies and, il they have, what
steps have been taken to comply with
his ruling.

Questions Held Material.

The amount Of fire insurance car
ried on other property in the county.
The amount Of accounts payable and
bills payable in the county on the day
preceding the second Monday in April.
The amount Of the last inventory Of
personal property in the county and tn
the state outside of the county.
The hrst two queries, Mr.. Hogan
says, have "a direct and substantial
value and use in aiding the taxing au-
thorities In the discharge Of their du-
ties" Continuing, he points out the
necessity Of answers to other queries.
II the property of corporations is to
be fairly assessed. and describes them
as material and relevant" to tho
county auditors.
Mr.. Hogan further points out the
power of auditors to compel answers
in the probate court under process Of
law and suggests that answers be CIV
en- voluntarily to save undue trouble
to taxing officials.

BITTER ATTACK
BY ROOSEVELT
TELLS MINNESOTA GOVERNOR
NO DECENT MAN CAN AFFORD
TO SUPPORT TAFT.

ST. PAUL, Sept. 11.-While Cover
nor Eberhart, the standpat candidate
for the gubernatorial nomination In
Minnesota, sat squirming in his seat,
Col. Roosevelt let loose today a burn
ing attack upon him for daring to
support Taft's Stolen nomination.
The ex-president did not mention
the governor by name, but Eberhart
knew that. he was the target and ev-
cry one else at the luncheon of the
Minnesota progressives at the VETS
Hotel in Minneapolis, where the Colo
mel let fly at the governor, understood
it, too.
Roosevelt feels intense bitterness
against Eberhart for his failure to get
in line with the progressive party.
The governors hold upon the voters
of Minnesota would be a capital ad-
vantage to the Bull Moosers. The re-
publican primaries, at which the rom-
inee for governor will be picked, will
be held Sept. i, and the Roosevelt
men fear that Eberhart will run away
with the field. Six candidates, Of
which five are Bull Moosers, are to
oppose the obstinate Eberhart
When Roosevelt got to St. Paul,
early in the day, he wanted informa-
tin right off as to what Eberhart in
tended to do. When his TRUSTEES told
him that the governor SHE'D at the
Bull moose party, Roosevelt snorted.
The governor went to the luncheon
of the progressives only after being
persuaded that the chief executive
ought to pay courtesy to the express
ident. Eberhart looked like ghost
at the feast. Not once did he smile.

abundant evidence of the fact that
the women folk have not only been
busy this summer in taking advan-
tage of their opportunities, but that
they are also proud of their products.
And they have reason to be, for IL is
doubtful indeed If there has ever
been a more varied or abundant fruit
exhibit than Is to be seen there.
The making of the awards in the
floral. hall began this morning and
will continue until completed The
exceeding large number Of entries
viii require some time to be properly
considered, but the thorough syste-
matte manner of the booking arrange
ment by the superintendent, Miss
Charlotte Henderson, will facilitate
the handling of the work.

VERY GOOD EXHIBITS.
But the Number 10, Much Smaller
Than II Should Be In This
County.

While the exhibits are not numer-
GUS nor large, nothing like they
should be in a great county OF the re-
sources Of Maury, there are some in
dividual displays at the fair that are
exceptionally attractive and worthy
of special note
Isaiah c. Murphy, one of the best
known orchardists in the state, has a
splendid exhibit of fruits. He is
showing more than twenty varieties
of apples, a half dozen kinds OF
peaches, three sorts of pears and
some beautiful grapes. Only three
or four others in the county took
enough interest in the fair to make
any exhibit at all of fruit.
The corn exhibits are entitled to
especial note. There is one Of fifty
ears that would be hard to beat any
where. The grain are all uniform, all
well developed and the ears are long
and gracefully formed. There are
nearly a score Of the farm exhibits
and there are also some splendid sam
pies of wheat and other small cereals
shown, but the display Is nothing like
what it should be in this county.
The watermelon exhibit is good but
the number shown is very small, per-
haps smaller than ever before, due
in a measure no doubt to the unfavor-
able season this year.
Some extra good hens and cockerels
are shown, but the number Of exhib-
its is small. T. G. Webster, of Cross
Bridges, has on exhibit the only pair
of Muscovey ducks ever shown at the
fair here. Several had never before
seen pair Of this variety.
There are two splendid garden
truck exhibits, but only two, and but
one general farm exhibit. That, how
ever is a most creditable one. There
are some corn shocks shown that are
especially fine.
The women's department has some
very unique and attractive displays.

WILLIE IN THE STORM.
Willie driving on the highway,
So joyful and SO free;
A perfect little rosebud,
And as happy as she could be.
Willie thought of papa and of mama,
OF all the loved ones, SO to speak,
I'll see many Of them soon,
AS I'm going home next week,
Willie saw the elements darkening
And the clouds began to lower,
Then she FASTENED onward,
And she thought OF home the more.
Willie was urged to stop and wait,
Till all the storm was DER,
Don't you see the heavy rain ~
And hear the mighty waters roar!
Willie would not stop long,
Loose my horse and let him be;
! must hurry right onward,
For sister is waiting and waiting
for me.
Willie urged her horse faster,
And he through the rain dashed;
And the thunder began to roll,
AS the lightning wildly flashed.
Willie through the waters sped,
AS the rain in torrents fell,
And her fright was simply awful,
AS no living one can tell.
Willie feared the muddy stream,
And she stopped to look and wait;
Her little heart did sigh and groan,
As she saw her awful fate.
Willie called and called and called,
No one came or did advance,
She loudly said, What shall / do
AS she cried France! France! Oh,
France!
Evidently the horse tried to cross,
As the barn was In sight,
And no one came to her rescue,
Willie went down in right.
Soon the old troop overturned
With an awful shock,
Willie's little head came in contact
With a horrible old rock.
Death was certainly instantaneous.
Her body washed miles away.
Angels claimed her little spirit
And Willie is in heaven today.

TRAINLOAD THROWN
INTO RAGING RIVER
FOUR OF TRAIN CREW WERE
KILLED, BUT NO PAS.
SENGERS.

CAMP DOUGLAS, Wis, Sept. IL
Four persons, all members Of the
train crew, were killed in the wreck
Of passenger train on the Chica-
60, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Oma-
ha railroad, which plunged into the
Lemonweir river near here today. A
bridge had been washd away. Twen-
ty-six persons were injured, six of
them seriously.
Every car, including the sleelers,
with passengers still in their berths,
was hurled into the stream. whose
waters, augmented by the coludburst
OF last night, had made it torrent.
Panic-stricken occupants of the
sleeper, clad only in night clothes,
escaped through broken windows.
The smoking car was carried down
stream, but all of it's occupants es-
capped.
The train had passed safely over
the bridge short time before, but
was tagged at Tunnel because CT a
washout further on that had made
the track impossible, and was order
ed back to Camp Douglass SO that
the passengers might have break
fast.
Meanwhile the Lemonweir, flooded
by a cloudburst several miles up the
valley, had torn away the bridge, and
the engineer, unwarned. ran his train
into the river.
Many of the injured are women and
children and railroad men regard 1t
as wonderful that so few lives were
lost, considering the number of per-
sons on the train and that every car
went into the stream.

Bride went out on infield contributions.
and in the ninth the chances seemed de-
cidedly against his getting even so much
as single. Imagine the CONSERVATION
of the fans when the gent with the rib
bon clerk frontpieee hit for four bases!
AS Father Chadwick was wont to ejacu-
late, baseball game is never over until
the umpire successfully escapes the
clutches of the clamoring mob.
When C. Wordsworth got all settled in
his room at the Peabody this morning he
called a belboy and sent him chasing out
after a next years almanac. Funny
thing for a baseball manager to do, but
you see Moley, away from the handshak-
ing Thing back in Birmingham, wants to
get little bit of worry off his mind.
The thing that has bothered him a good
deal of late Is what date he will decide
upon to raise the 1912 pennant
The winning of It occupied his mind for
some time this season, but now with
about so points to the good he feels safe
in running through Dr. Hicks dope to
Pick out a day next year that will be nice
and balmy. when all the bugs and bug
lets down nj the steel town can come and
help the Barons have a right nice time.
OF course, Wordsworth came here for
more reasons than escaping the congrat-
ulations of the Birmingham fans, who
have long since conceded him the honor
of winning this years pennant. The
schedule calls for series of clashes with
the Turtles. and Motley, of course, came
along with them. This afternoon he will
send in Foxen against either Merritt or
Parsons.

MARCAN PULLS OFF
PRETTY STUNT

Memphis, July S1.-(Special.)--on of the
lucblest incidents to befall the Barons
occurred In the third inning today. With
Sohwetzer on third and Netzel on Sec
ond, Kerr hit a high bounding grounder
to Marcan. The ball was coming slowly
and Marcan attempted to scoop 1t up. He
scooped with his gloved hand but failed
to hold It. The sphere bounded into the
air and right into McGilvray's hands at
first 1t was wonderful combination
of luck and ability. 1t probably saved an
other run.
Tom Martin of Birmingham won the five
mile marathon swim In the Mississippi
river here today in IS minutes against
nine other swimmers. The race was start
ed at Mound City, Ark, and finished at
the wharf In Memphis. over 5000 people
viewed the race. Lottie Mayer, woman
aquatic artist, competed against Mar
tin.

WHEN TEAM MEETS DEFEAT
ny REUBEN a. LEWIS

Memphis, Tenn, July H.-(Special.)-A
known, the Barons have rocked along in
the chase for the pennant In harmony.
but that they produce harmony is not u
known fact But this is also true. In the
evenings above the grind of the car made
famous by Pullman, the Baron quartette
produces said harmony.
Composed of Leader Bill Foxen, Fred
Dilger, the basso Jimmy Johnston, the
baritone, ard Bill McGllvray. the tenor,
this Baron quartette is nifty orgsniza-
ton. With its range including three oc-
taves and its repetoire containing any
thing from 'Miserere" to "Everybody's

hit over the southern circuit.
