him a broken right hand alid Il

Europe in his claims of being the
middleweight champion of the
world
Bill likes that belt pretty wei.
but his right hand has proved
terrible setback to him He re-
ceived it in an exhibition bout, and
it forced him to give up eight weeks
Of the most lucrative theatrical
work he could possibly get. He was
to receive $3.50 a week for exhibi-
tons pending the time for mis- bat
ties with Frank Klaus and Georges
Carpenter.
Gets Matches Abroad.
In little while we will know all
about it, for Bill is due here now
almost any minute. Doubtless the
home folks will be much gratifled
to gaze upon that gold and ivory
belt that the French promoters gave
him as one Of the rewards for his
having whipped Carpenter. cham

counter Also they will gaze with
awe upon that injured right fist.
Al Lippe. Paplle's European man
ager, has hooked the Kewanee star
up for two great matches on the
other side. Paplle will battle Frank
Klaus, the Pittsburg German, IN
Paris on March 5, that match being
now signed for and duly sealed. 1t
proved to be a match that required
lot of diplomacy in the making
and was on and off a half-dozen
times before it was finally clinched
with forfeits.
Gets $12,5oo for Bouts.
Some time during the latter part
of March Papke is to give Carpen
tier a return engagement. this con
test being slated for Monte Carlo.
1t also is clinched up with for
feits.
Paple is to receive $1,000, win
or lose, for the Klaus match, and
$500 for the Carpenter battle. also
irrespective of the result The Klaus
match will be at the middleweight
limit Of 1913 pounds, while he will

they have increased taxation to
the amount of seventy eight

years and no one is benefited by
it above what they could have

heroism Of Major Butt.

A graphic story of the heroism
Of Maj. Archibald W. Butt on
the Tita ntic was told to-day in
an interview given to the Wash
ington Stars staff correspondent
in New York by Miss Marie
Young, former resident of this
city. Miss Young is believed to
have been the last woman to
leave the Titantic and the last
of the survivors to have talked
with the Presidents military
aide. She and Maj. Butt had
long been friends. Miss Young
having been special music in
structor to'the children of form
er President Roosevelt. Miss
Young said:
THE last person to whom |
spoke on board the Titantic was
Archie Butt and his good, brave
face, smiling at me from the
deck of the steamer, was the last
| could distinguish as the boat l
was in pulled away from the
steamers side.
Archie himself put me into
the boat, wrapped blankets
around me. and tucked me in as
carefully as if we were starting
on a motor ride. He himself en-
tered the boat with me. perform
the little courtesies as calmly and
with as smiling face as if death
was far away, instead of being
but a few moments removed from
him
When he had carefully wrap
ped me up, he stepped upon the
gunwale of the boat and lifting
his hat, smiled down at me.
Goodbye, Miss Young he
said, bravely and smilingly.
Luck is with you. Will you
kindly remember me to all the
folks back homer"
Then he stepped to the deck
of the steamer and the boat |
was in was lowered to the water.
1t was the last boat to leave the
ship; of this l am perfectly GER
tain. And / know that | am the
last of those who were saved to
whom Archie Butt spoke.
AS our boat was lowered and
left the side of the steamer, Ar
chic was still standing at the rail
looking down at me. His hat
was raised, and the same old
genial, brave smile was on his
face. The picture he made as
he stood there, hat in hand,
brave and smiling, is one that
will always linger in my men,

To Ny Old Friends.

Mr.. Editor:
AS | have been a subscriber to
the -Adair County News, ever
since its first issue and as you
have honored me with the publ
cation of some of my speeches
and letters, l have concluded to
write again as a kind of letter to
my old acquaintance throughout
the country to let them know /
am yet living, and though | am
unable to do manual labor or en-.
gage in any business enterprise,
am still able to think and pom
der over the tax riden condition
of our county and especially that
of Kentucky. Taxation in many
cases is really necessary, especi-
ally for the purpose of keeping
up public roads, the support of
common schools, &c., where all
the people, or a great majority
of them receive the benefits in
tended. Notwithstanding it to
often happens that the thing re-
ceived by the people and paid
for by taxation is not worth the
cost. The people of Adair coun-
ty are saxed several thousand
dollars annually for the building
of roads, and under the present
management our roads are in as
bad condition as ever before. We
are also taxed three or four hun
dred dollars annually for the
purpose of sending health
officer over the county to fumi-
gate certain habitations the effect
of which is like the sent of the
rose, only lasts while they hold
it to their nose. However, it is
some consolation to know that
this health officer visits the COM
mon schools of the county and
makes reports of all of the boys
who are absent from school and
cannot read, especially those who
sit on logs in Chenille district,
which circumstance doubtless
aroused his educational desire
for future generations and
cause him to write an article to
the News advocating strict
compulsory school law, when in
fact we already have a compul.
sorry school law requiring every
child in the State between the
ages of seven and fourteen years
to attend school not less than
eight weeks each year. This
law has been in existance about
four years and no one has at
tempted to enforce it. In fact
Mr.. Harris was right when he
said. a compulsory school law
would not be enforced in this
country and Mr.. Campbell was
right when he said it was con-
trary to the principles of the dec
laration of independence. How
ever, | am not surprised to find
men who drink at the public
fountain clamoring for compul-
sorry education and citing Ger
many as a proper example for us.
Instead of trying to advance the
cause of common schools they
are advocating a force system as
run by the edicts of Germany.
Why not do away with the pres
emit Graded school system and the
Eastern and Western Normal
schools; all of which are a bur-
den to our free school system
and to the high schools and col

suaded to attend one or the other
of the normal schools and conse-
quently our free school system is
being Slapped by the graded
schools and our high schools and
colleges at home by the Normal
schools of the state. / learn
from the school trustees of our
district that the people of Adair
county have been paying from
fifteen to seventy-five cents on
the one hundred dollars worth of
taxable property for the last
three or four years; that the
amount collected and paid into
the county treasury last year
was five thousand dollars, that
none of this five thousand dollars
can be used for any purpose ex-
cept for the support of the grad
ed school in Columbia and the
building and repairing of school
houses in the county. That the
county board has appropriated
five hundred and forty dollars to
the support of the graded school,
but it does not inform US
what will become of the remain
der. While l do not accuse any
one of violating the law, | am
bound to say that the only effect
can see produced by, the paying
in all this money is double taxa
ton. The longest delinquent list
this county has ever produced,
and the marching of graded
school pupils in double file to do
honor to some professional crank
whose aim is to confuse the public
mind to the detriment of our
home colleges and to the disad-
vantage of our common school
system.
| learn, too, that the people of
this state pay into the state
treasury seven millions of dollars
annually for public school pur-
poses, and out of that sum fifty
thousand dollars are set apart
annually for the support of the
state university, thirty-fve thou
sand dollars for the support of
Eastern Normal school and
twenty-five thousand dollars for
the Western Norman school at
Bowling Green, making a total
of one hundred and ten thousand
dollars. Of this amount COM
paratively few receive any of the
benefits, but it forms a nucleus
around which a class of professors
assemble who are a burden to
| the state. AS evidence of the
fact | learn that under the mana
cement of the state university
during the past year it overleap-
ed its legal bounds to the amount
of eight or nine thousand dollars
and that the Normal school at
Bowling Green has gone beyond
its legal bounds to the amount
of seventy thousand dollars in
| the last two years. All of this
was done by laying down the
bars and admitting pupils con-
trary to law. These same edu-
Gated sharks have succeeded in
having a law passed requiring
all institute conductors to as
semble at the state capital in in
stitute convention annually
during the month of May for the
purpose of organization and more
effective management, and the
same law makes it the duty of
