Illinois Central Must Pay.

The Illinois Central must pay taxes
on an additional assessment of ST.
509.5s5, before Judge Cochran, of the
Federal Court will grant the road
temporary restraining order in the
1912 franchise suit. Judge Cochran
handed down an opinion to this effect
at a hearing on the motion of the
road for temporary Injunction, re-
straining the state auditor from col
lecting the states portion of $4,000
900 franchise tax and certifying the
assessment to the counties, cities and
taxing districts.
The road contended that the total
value of its lines in Kentucky is COW
cred by assessment of its tangible
property, and that it owes no franchise
tax. At the hearing here this fall
Judge Cochran said he would grant a
restraining order, but that the road
would have to pay on larges assess.
ment than it had already paid on. The
hearing was to ascertain the amount.
The additional assessment required
by Judge Cochran increases the total
assessment of the Illinois Central
$2,099, 900 over the 1911 assessment,
and is 100000 less than the state
board fixed it in 1912. The states
share of the taxes on this additional
assessment will be $4,000, and about
$4,000 will be distributed among the
counties, cities and graded school
districts. The amount the Louisville
& Nashville is required to pay on to
get a temporary Injunction has been
fixed, leaving only the Chesapeake
& Ohio and Queen & Crescent cases
open.

The crowd filed its lungs and wait

her rosy cold palms. Chaplin and his
friends were swayed by their heart

eager. The click of Willie's gun sound

Into the ear close by his cheel
Speed again whispered an agonized-

This time the cook Of the Centiped,

while the crowd took breath.

cried Skinner.
Gallagher uttered an imprecatior
and strobe forward. only to have hil
way once more barred by Still Bill
Slower. "He can talk II he wants to.
There is nothing" Speed pointed
out with dignity, Gin the articles tt
forbid talking. If wished to, could
sing. Yes. or whistle. II felt like
it.
"On your marks!" came the raspins
voice of Willie as Wally murmured tC
Skinner:
Remember, trust you"
Skinner ground his teeth; the tendons
in his calves stood out rigidly.

Once more the silence of deatt
wrapped the beholders. and Willie
raised his arm.
Speed cast one lingering farewell
glance to the skies, and said. devout

Would Ruin Smith Land.

Representative A. o. Stanley called
on the War Department and took up in
person the fight he instituted several
weeks ago to prevent the diversion of
the channel of the Ohio river away
from Smithland, KY, to the Illinois
side of the Cumberland Island Mr..
Stanley told the engineer officers of
the army that this was merely a
scheme of the coal trust to shorten
the channel about two miles in the
1,000-mile stretch from Pittsburg to
Cairo, notwithstanding the fact that
the change would probably ruin Smith
land as a river landing and seriously
impair all the traffic up and down the
Cumberland river. When Mr.. Stanley
was in Livingston county in October
he learned that the government had
begun to tear out the dam that ex-
tends from the head of Cumberland
Island to the Illinois bank of the Ohio.
Eighty feet of the dam already had
been torn away. If the work had con-
tinued the channel would have taken
its old course on the Illinois side of
the island. In low water boats would
have found 1t practically impossible to
get in and out of the Cumberland river,
which enters the Ohio on the other
side of the island

Ballot Box Was Stolen.

Someone broke into the Office Of
the county clerk of Estill county &C.
cording to reports reaching Frankfort
and stole the ballot box of Riddell pre-
cinct, from which the returns had
not been certified. 1t is reported that
Judge Hugh Riddell, Democratic can
didate for Circuit Judge in the Twen-
ty-third District, carried this precinct
by 79 votes. Judge Riddell has filed
suit, enjoining the county election
board from certifying the returns from
Estill county to the secretary of state,
as he did in Breathitt county, where
the returns from five precincts, most
of which he carried, are out. He also
enjoined the secretary of state from
certifying the returns from the district
to the state election board, and en-
joining the latter from issuing a com
mission. This will place the election
in these two counties in contest before
the court.

"Mr. Gallagher, won't you use my

TUBERCULOSIS
SUNDAY NAMED
PROCLAMATION lMPLoRlNG PEo-
PIE TO GIVE THE SUBJECT
EARNEST THOUGHT.
KILLING ONE IN EVERY SIX
Calls Attention to Facts That 1t 10
Durable and Preventable if Treat
ed at Right Time.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Frankfort, Ky.--Acting Governor
Edward ]. McDernlott has issued
proclamation designating Sunday, De-
cember Z, as tuberculosis Sunday.
The proclamation follows:
ITO the People of Kentucky:
by request of intelligent citizens
deeply Interested in the immediate
reduction and final eradication of tu-
berculosis in this state, l now desig-
nate Sunday, December z, as Tubercu-
losis Sunday, in order that our people
on that day may give special and earn
est thought to this dreadful disease
which we have too long allowed to
bring misery and death into many
homes. Anyone who wishes full in
formation and useful literature about
the holy crusade against this disease
need only apply to the secretary of the
Kentucky Board of tuberculosis Com
missioners, Mr.. Roy L. French, of
Frankfort, KY. 1t is hoped that many
good clergymen of all churches will
preach sermon on this vital topic on
that day.
"All well-informed persons now
know that this disease is not inherited,
though one afflicted may communicate
the disease to another; that this is a
durable and preventable disease if
| treated rightly and in proper time;
that, in every case, reputable physi-
clans should be consulted when the
| first symptoms are discovered; that
| bad housing, lack of good ventilation
and sunlight in sleeping rooms, lack
of nourishing, well-cooked food, dust
and dirt, overwork. worry, alcoholism,
sexual immortality and other vicious
habits prepare the soil for the seed of
disease which one sufferer transmits
to another.
tuberculosis destroys one person
out of every six dying in Kentucky.
We should use every effort to stop
that terrible result. The education OF
the people on this subject is of vital
! Importance. We must try to save our.
selves, our kindred and our neighbors
! from this terrible affection. Almost
every home has at some time been In
sorrow and gloom by the agony and
death of some beloved one that was
an unnecessary victim of this dreadful
disease. Let us all, by the love we
bear our beloved and in the spirit OF
charity to our neighbor, make a zeal
Gus, united effort to free our state
from this awful scourge."

Bills Are Being Framed.

In view of the apparent GER
tainty that the constitutional
amendments, providing for the employ
ment of convicts on the public roads
and the classification of property for
purposes of taxation, have been car
ried, bills are being considered by
number of legislators-elect for putting
the amendments into effect There is
no likelihood, it is believed, that any
effort will be made to do away with
the prison contract system at the 1914
session, as many of the contracts have
years yet to run.
Little classification of property, it is
expected, will be undertaken at the
1914 session; but the State Tax Com
mission will present bill embodying
classification to some extent For the
rest it is to be left to study and recon-
mend legislation at the next session.
The ad valorem plan of assessing
stocks of merchandise may be aban-
doned and the assessment fixed on the
gross annual income of the firm or
corporation. This would approach the
manner of assessing railroads and
other corporations, and since the fed
eral government is to tax incomes the
state and federal governments would
be working along the same line, thus
avoiding confusion and more nearly ar
irving at a fair valuation. 1t is said to
have been tried successfully in some
other states.

TWO YOUNG MEN" IS
SUBJECT OF SERMON

Continued interest was manifested
in the revival at the Christian church
last night. Everybody seemed to ap-
preciate the solo by Mr.. Altheide, en-
titled, He Will Hold Me Fast. .
Evangelist Grim spoke on the sub
ject. 1.-TWO Young Men, using the
prodigal son and his brother as the
illustration. He said in substance:
when the prodigal asked his father
for the portion of his goods he did
what was right. God has intended
that man should have all that belongs
to him. The trouble today with the
world is man cannot get what belongs
to him because his portion is corner
ed by others who have power to keep
1t in their hands"
He said the wrong the prodigal COM
mitted was wasting his substance and
in not using it for the good of hu-
manity. He said, THE Indians owned
this country but when they refused
to allow 1t to be developed and used
for humanity they had no right to it."
