RctroccsSon fever seems to nave
been cXtcrminated eGtcctuaiiy dur

suffered more or less, but most OF the

ian epidemic form, but about year
or so ago. when it became apparent
that Congress was bent upon Compel

her own burdens and that the hail

which would cut off entirely IN nc

in meeting its municipal expenses each

SHEPHERD DOG SAVES CHILD.

Louisville, Ky.-Little Malinda Tob-
be had gone to the field with bucket
of water to refresh her brother, who
had finished his days labor planting
corn on their fathers farm on the
Manslick road. She was lifted to the
back of one of the farm animals to
ride back to the barn. The reflection
of the sun upon the bucket flashed in
the mules eyes, causing it to become
frightened and run away. In falling
from the mules back the little girls
foot caught in the harness and she was
being dragged to death before the eyes
of her Mortified brother, who was pow
erless to stop the runaway. Mack .
a big shepherd dog that had accompa-
MED the little girl to the field, with
human intelligence bounded after the
frightened animal, leaped at the bride
bit and stopped it's flight. Holding the
mule at bay until the brother of the
girl arrived, she was extricated from
her dangerous position Unconscious
and badly bruised. But her life was
saved, thanks to Mack"

PEDAeoeuEs ADOPT PlANks.

Louisville, Ky.-Absolute divorce
ment of schools from politics is one of
the planl1s of progressive platform
adopted by the members of the Ken
lucky Educational Association, several
thousand in number. The adoption of
era of education in the state, declare
educators Some of the planks of the
platform are consolidation of rural
schoois,--a statewide campaign, to inn
prove rural schools, extension of COM
mon school terms, better. trained
teachers and more of them, efficient
truancy laws with necessary machin-
cry for their enforcement, teaching of
agriculture, good roads in every coun-
ty, reformation of the present system
of taxation and the divorce of schools
from politics.. Commissioner Claxton
was the chief speaker prior to the
adoption of the program. He suggested
a countrywide campaign for school
terms of not less than 180 days. An
urgent need, he said, is better courses
of study, especially to adapt pupils to
particular vocations. DR.. ClaXton,
speaking of Kentucky's educational
status, said that the state needs eight
more normal schools as big as all of
those we have at present combined.
Requirements for a teachers certif-
cate should be as strict as those for a
license to practice medicine.

PROF. MILLleAN is DEAD.

Lexington, Ky.-Prof. Alexander
Reed Milligan, who for nearly so years
was member of the faculty of Ken.
lucky university, which is. now Tran
sylvania, and who was acting presi-
dent in 1900 and 1901, died at the Good
Samaritan hospital. Although Prof.
Mi, gan was feeble from age his i'll
ness had not been regarded as serious,
and when he went to breakfast he
seemed to be as well as usual. Death
came suddenly from a stroke of apo
plexy while he was sitting at the table.
Prof. Milligan was the son of DR.. Rob.
ert Milligan, and was born in Decem-
Der, 1912, at Washington, Pa, his IA
ther being at that time a member of
the faculty of Washington and Jeffer-

Massachusetts,, to Change Cotton
Schedule in Bill Is Defeated.

Washington, May 5.-During the
debate on the tariff in the house Fri
day Representatives Thomas, Mann
and Fordney had an interesting pas
sage at arms.
81 just want to tell the bewhiskered
gent from Illinois," Thomas said. that
these are the dogwood days when we
are shearing the sheep and I'd advise
him to get shaved"
THE gentleman from Illinois has
taken up volumes in the congression-
al record in mixed metaphors and
vapid nothingnesses. I'll bet he has
cost the government $10,000,O0O since
he has been rattling around here"
Il move that this moonshine debate
close" yelled Representative Langley
(Rep.) from Kentucky. Thomas is a
Democrat.
81 believe the gentleman has
moonshine on the brain and keeps re-
plenishing the supply" Thomas re-
torted
~tThe gentleman addresses himself
to the hair on my face and the hair
on the head of the gentleman from
Kansas" shouted Mann, white with
rage. HE says am bewhiskered. l
am, but, but sir, I am not be-whis-
keyed"
The house, which had been laugh
ing until this moment, was suddenly
silenced.
whats that?" cried Thomas, half
rising from his seat.
The chairman raped for order and
the incident was closed, when Thorn
as friends crowded about him.
Demonstrating the unfair and gen
orally destructive character of the
Underwood tariff duties in the cotton
schedule, Representative Gardner of
Massachusetts used samples OF cot
ton cloth obtained from New England
cotton mills. The desk before him
looked like one in some great cloth
making factory.
The Democrats defeated the Gard
ner-Greene substitute for the cotton
schedule, as carried in the Underwood
bill, and the schedule was passed
without change.

VOTES FOR WOMEN
BARRED FROM K. <. A. PROGRAM
-GET UP RIVAL MEETING.
Speakers Shout Invitation to Teachers
Many Attracted by Rapid Fire
Orators and "oratoresses." ~

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Louisville, Ky.-'Votes for women
campaigners made a bid for the atten-
ton of Kentucky school teachers when
they held a rival meeting on a lawn
adjoining that of the First Christian
Church, where the Kentucky Educa-
tional Association is holding its an
nual convention. One thousand teach
ers are in attendance. The suffragists
had asked for a place on the conven-
tion program, but their request was
denied. The suffragists then formu-
lated campaign to obtain the atten-
ton of the teachers anyhow. The ri
val meeting was the result. AS the
teachers crowded about the doors of
the convention hall the suffrage speak
ers shouted their invitations across an
alley. Many of the teachers came in
answer to the call. Several speakers
were on hand and followed each other
in rapid order. Many prominent Louis
vile men delivered addresses Robert
Mcdowell, S. j. Duncan-Clar1, John D.
White, Cleaves Kinkead and Dr. E. L.
Powell were among the speakers.

New York. May 3-The conference
committee of managers rejected here
Thursday the demands of the con-
ductors and trainmen on the forty
three roads of the eastern district.
The answer was communicated to a
committee representing the Order of
Railway Conductors and the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen at a Sc
cret meeting held in the Engineering
Society building.
The managers committee cali atten-
ton to the fact that in 1910 the rail-
roads. in order to avert strike, grant
ed the conductors and trainmen an
aggregate increase In wages of $780,
100000. The present increase of
$17,000,000, the roads point out, would
be equivalent to placing on their prop
critics lien of s425, 100000 of 4 per
cent. securities, the burden of which
would fall upon the public.
The trainmen and conductors may
at a later date modify their demands
upon the managers, or they may
elect to take a referendum strike vote
among their 100000 members
The railroads of the eastern terri
tory, having discussed the freight
rate problem, have decided to ask
the interstate commerce commission
to allow a per cent increase on
freight of all character.
Buffalo, N. Y, May More than
$500 department store employees, in,
volving every store of the kind in
the city, went on strike for increased
wages and shorter hours Thursday
Employees of hardware and five and
