A FINE OPPORTUNITY
The Entertainment of the D. A..
R. Will Greatly Benefit Lex
ington.

The Daughters of The Ameri-
can Revolution will convene in
Lexington Oct, 2S, % and 30, for
their annual state meeting.
The work done by this organ
i2ation of women is historic and
philanthropic. We are all ia
iniliar with the influence they
exerted in securing the Santa
Ep Trail route as the cross state
road, hut it may not be so well
known that the Missouri Daugh-
ters originated the idea Of an
o., can to ocean highway, and
are advocating the union Of the
old trails or roads for this
great continental road
Already a power in the land
this organization is growing
mightily each year. Lexington has
state wide reputation for hos
pitality hence there will doubtless
be a large delegation in atten-
Gance and these delegates will be
the representative women of the
state; so it behooves each citi-
zen to consider it an individual
iduty and pleasure to make this
meeting one long to be remember
ed by home people and visitors
alike. No finer opportunity
could present itself to advertise
our city, especially its schools
and its desirability as a place of
residence. Let Lexington rise
to the occasion, hand over the
Keys of the city and entertain
these visitors so royalty that they
will go home thinking this the
finest place on earth, Thus, not
only win the entertaining chap
ter, the Lafayette-Lexington be
greatly assisted and encouraged ;
but Lexington itself without a
; doubt, viii be directly benefited

WHOLESALE FORGERY
Lexington Merchants Cash
Worthless Paper.

Saturday night William Ban
dan, tailor employed by Frank
Carter, was caught in the act OF
passing forged checks. He had
found an old check Of Mr.. Car
ter's and copied the signature so
nearly perfect that he had no
trouble in passing them on the
unsuspecting merchants. His
averice, however, led to his be-
ing caught. He passed one on
Wallace & Drysdale for S2l.OO,
Gratz Brothers for $500, Will
mot's grocery for $500, w. H.
Yeach for $21.OO and NJ. Ladeson
for $500. This was easy
money. He then went into the
other side of Ladeson's store, not
knowing that it was one and the
same, and right here he made his
mistake. The check he present
ed here, of course, came into the
hands of Mr. Ladeson, whose
suspicion was at once aroused.
He refused to cash the second
check, and followed the culprit
over to Mcintyre & Mitchell's sa-
loon. where he was in the act
of getting another cashed. Mr.
Lsdeson Immediately called Of
ficers Haberkom and Pollard
who placed him under arrest
Finding that the jig was up, he
swallowed this check. He was
taken back to Ladeson's store
where he confessed. On being
searched $66.18 out of the $93.0C
he had secured, was found. Ban
don's plans were, in the whole
pretty sound. 1t being lat
Saturday night, he no doubt fig
ured that the forgeries woul'
not be detected until sometim
Monday, giving him forty-eigh
hours in which to make his ge
away. But, the TACT that Lad
eson had two entrances to hi
store and that the boss is alway
OF. the job, was his undOing.

REACHED HIGHEST
 POINT ON CONTINENT
AcrhdeacOn Stuck Says He Went to Top of Mt. McKinley's Highest
 Peak.

Seattle, Wash, June 20.-The fact that Mr. McKinley's famous twin peaks" are not twins in the respect of heighth probably has given to Archdeacon Hudson Stuck, an Epis- cOpal missionary, the honor of at taining the highest point in North America.
 According to a cablegram receiV- ed here from a messenger Stuck sent to Fairbanks, Alaska, he and his party climbed to the higher of lhe two peaks and reached a height Jf more than 20,500 feet.
 If the Stuck expedition did reach that great height it won the alti- tude honor by only a few hundred feet. Tn 1910 Thomas Lloyd and a party made the trip to the lower of the two peaks, attaining height of 20,300 feet
 The Lloyd expedition planted the stars and stripes on the peak and Stuck, in his cablegram telling of his ascent. declares that from the higher point which he reached he could see the flag waving clearly.
 Dr. Stuck and his assistants erected a 6-foot cross on the sum init of the great mountain. He eX- poets 10 return to Fairbanks in Au- gust and will go to New York in October. as delegate for Alaska Co the general convention of the Episcopal church.
 Earthquake Tore Ridges.
 The stuck expedition accomplish ed the ascent under more trying difficulties than the Lloyd party ii is to be taken from the caDlegram. The violent earthquakes of last Ju- ly had torn the higher ridges and the route evidently had to be chos- en with great care due to the danger, Then, too, the message declared the party encountered three weeks of extreme weather. which probably caused hardships.

DenOunceS Judgt.

Miss Janney: "TleN have got to let me out or kill me. | think your summing up was most biased and mosl unfair. You ought to be ashamed of yourself to receive G. GOO pounds a year for pounding WOmen.'
 Prior to passing sentence the judge said that doubtless the pris- oners really believed that by their laWlesS conduct they were forward ing a good cause.
 Some of you must be religious" " he continued. If you are not athesists you must believe in a moral governor of the universe. I commend you to the statement of a modern Wriler-a woman. l believe who characterizes the belief that the end iuStitles the means as 'trea- son against the Almighty
 Whatever the motives of the prisoners, Judge Phillmore said, he must treat them as persons who had done a very serious injury to public peace and must be restrained from doing further mischief and made 10 some extent an example to others.

 After passing sentence, Judge Phillmore announced that he would urge that under no circumstances should the prisoners be permitted to leave prison. In retort the wom- en avowed they would hunger strike and die in jail if necessary.
 One of the counsel has suggest ed that the time for leniency has passed, and l don't think you will meet with quite the same treatment as have the others" said Judge PhillmOre.
 Then we shall die together!' ex- claimed Miss Janney.
 The Judge: If you, in the words of our great poet, violate the great canon the Everlasting has fixed against self-slaughter, you will have to reconcile such action with your conscience

Earthquake Tore Ridges.

Mount Mckinley is the assumed culminating point of the North American continent and is in the Alaskan range, latitude l5l degrees minutes. north; longitude I5l de- erees, west Its heights is given as % i6i feet.
 The mountain is treacherous for ifs glaciers and was considered i'm possible of ascent for many years. In 1906 Dr. Frederick X. Cook made the startling announcement that his exploring party had reached the summit of the mountain. It was the same Dr. Cook whose announce ment of the discovery of the North Pole was announced and discredited later.
 Several members of Cooks party who had been left behind when the final dash was made declared that Cook could not have reached the top. Among them was Prof. Her schel Parker of Brooklyn.
 When Lloyd started on his eXpe- dition one of its principal objects was to find records which Cook de- clared he had left at the summit. The Lloyd party reached the top of one of the peaks and declared the Cook records were not there.

 The new Doris B. Compress was again damaged by the wind to the ex- tent of several hundred dollars About 100 square yards of roofing was blown away. A storm recently de- molished a large area of roofing, the damage amounting to about $1,5o0.
 Perhaps a hundred and fifty tele- phones were put out of commission by the disarrangement and crossing or wires. The trouble crew" will be put to work early this morning get ting the phones in shape.

MEMPHIS ISOLATED
 BY HEAVY STORM
ALL TELEGRAPH WIRES LEADING OUT OF CITY DOWN AT
 MIDNIGHT.
Wind Reached Cyclonic Proportions and Many Signs, Trees and Plate
 Glass Windows Destroyed.

Memphis, March 26.-A high wind accompanied by a severe deluge of rain, visited this city shortly after eight o'clock tonight doing serious damage to small buildings, trees and street signs. The streets were flooded for several hours At times the wind rose to cyclonic proportions causing the temporary suspension of street car traffic on several lines and putting out street lights.
 At the height of the storm the dis play windows of one big department store and that of another concern in ;he downtown district were blown in. Telephone and telegraph wires are down in all directions Little is known of the extent of the damage done by the storm in outlying districts all though it is believed serious damage has been done in many places.
 At midnight, the Western Union Telegraph Company reported that they had lost all of their wires lead ing out of the city, The Postal at midnight was also on a standstin, which left Memphis isolated from the outside world as far as wire con- munication was concerned.
 So far as known no lives have been lost.
