ton Park, Both Having Been
Very Successful.

military aviator who is here for

every way successful.
The weather Friday afternoon
was most auspicious, and a
large crowd assembled to watch
the flight of the bird man, sever
al hundred students from the In

ent. The aeroplane started off
beautifully, and DR.. Bell after
having assembled several thous-

around a number of times, and
then returned to terra frma.

most famous aviators. He has
made ascensions not only in all
parts of America but in various
European cities, having captured
a prize of five thousand dollars
for encircling the dome of the
Famous cathedral at RHEIMS,

cessful as TIE one undertaken on
the previous day.

Gift For Gabe Likens.

The Louisville Times of December
9th has the following very much
deserved complimentary notice of
our former townsman, G. b. Likens:
Gabe Likens, the clever Deputy
State Auditor, is very proud and ap-
preciative of the handsome Christ
mas gift presented him by the rest
of the officials in the State Auditors
office. He was much surprised when
he was cornered and made the re-
cipient of a gold chain and knife,
but managed to express his thanks.
The significance of the knife gift is
attributed by his friends to Mr.. Lii
kens as the watchdog of the State
Treasury and his penchant for
carefully scrutinizing every item of
the States outlay. with the result
that nothing that looks like 10
ker" has any chance to get by"
him.

On Christmas morning the dealt
angel visited the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harrison Austin, near Beaver
Dam, and took from them their
aged mother, aunt Sarah Ann" as
she was Familiarity called. She was
perhaps the oldest person in Ohio
county, being ninety-five years old
on her last birthday, October 30th.
Her maiden name was Taylor, her
parents being among the pioneer
settlers of Ohio county. In 1886
she was married to Mr.. William Aus
tin. To this union were born seven
children-four daughters and three
sons. Uncle Had, who is now in
his seventy-fifth year, is the only
living member of this once large
family, the others having preceded
her to the Great Beyond many years
ago. She was buried on Friday af-
ternoon in the family burying
ground.
She had been in declining health
for some months, but until about
two years ago she was hale, strong
and vigorous, retaining all her fac
ulties and always busy with the
cares and duties of the household,
taking especial delight in raising
and caring for great number of
chickens.
AS mother, friend and neighbOr,
she will be greatly missed. In sick
ness or distress she was ever ready
to lend helping hand. Her chair
is vacant. Her voice is still and the
home seems lonely without her. Yet
the sweet and gentle influences she
left behind still linger in the memo
ries of all those whose pleasure it
was to know her. Throughout a
long, useful and active life she eX-
emplified the truth that a good
pure and noble woman is the crown
ing piece of architecture in all the
of God. Truly it can be
said that one of the noblest women
of earth has entered the Great Be-
yond and whose spirit is now in the
hands of Him who doeth all things
well-He who said, The Lord gave
and the Lord taketh away. Blessed
be the name of the Lord" o. S.

PRISONERS STRAPPED
TO THE BACKS OF PONIES
And Turned Loose on Plains To
Die OF Thirst-Indian
Torture.

Mexico City, Dec. 2S.-That En-
rique Geostieta, Minister of Justice,
will become President of Mexico
early in the new year, and that Cen
eral Huerta will take the field
against the rebels who refuse to con-
form to this arrangement, is the re-
port that has been received with
credence by some of the diplomatic
representatives here. Senior Geo.
stieta is well along in years. He
was lawyer at Monterey who was
brought to the capital to take the
portfolio of finance, but instead was
appointed Minister of Justice.
Devilish Torture.
Ell Paso, Tex, Dec. 27.-Torture
of prisoners, equaled only by that of
Commanche and Apache Indians, is
being made by Federals and rebels
in Mexico, according to the state
ments of refugees who have reached
the border.
These tortures are admitted by
General Villa of the rebels and Gen.
eral Salazar of the Federals.
Prisoners of war have been strip
ped of their clothing, dashed to the
backs of COW ponies, which were
turned loose on the desert with
burrs under their tails to make them
run, horse and rider perishing from
thirst and lack of food. .V
1t is one of the most terrible
by the soldiers.
Refugees coming to FL Paso to-
day say they passed dead pony on
the desert sands with the body of a
nude man strapped to its back.
The sufferings of the victim must
have been awful, his tongue and
eyes being swollen from the sun and
lack of water.
Other prisoners had their noses
cut off. eyes gouged out, ears cut
off and. in some cases, an arm and
leg amputated. AS nothing is done
to stop the flow of blood, they soon
die.
General Luis Terranzas, the mil
lionaire refugee, expects to have his
son with him in a few days. Nego-
tiations are now pending between
him and General Villa for the pay
ment of 100000 ransom, and it is
said the money will be given the
rebel leader early next week.

GIVES TRUST VIEWS OF
WILSON ADMINISTRATION
No Radical Attack on Trusts
Will UntangIe "Commun.
ity Of interests,

Washington, Dec. 27.-The inter
view dealing with the trust question
which Vice President Marshall gave
out on reaching Indianapolis reflect
ed, in rather accurate way, the
views of the Administration.
There is to be no radical legisla.
tive attack on the trusts at this ses-
sion. This does not mean that there
is to be any compromising with the
great combinations of wealth. 1t
does mean that the President and
his Attorney General have become
convinced that the Sherman anti
trust law as it now stands is we'll
nigh sufficient to meet the situation.
What the President calls colossal
community of interests is to be I'M
tangled. This is the next great task
to which the Administration will ap-
ply itself.
There was a strong intimation in
official circles to-day that the forth
coming message of the President on
the trust question will reflect the
views he expressed in a speech at
the Jackson day banquet here jan
uary 8, 1912. This speech was de-
livered some months before Mr.. Will
son was nominated. Among other
things he said in that address: you

you can take away the obstacle by
law that stands in the way of COM

despair of setting up competition
among individual persons, there Is
good ground for setting up competi-
ton between these great combina-
lions, and after We have set them
competing with one another, then
they will come to their senses. In
so many respects we can afterward
hold conferences with them without
losing their self-respect."
Mr.. Wilson pointed out in his ad-
dress that is the job. That's the
thing that exists and the thing that
has to be changed" said he. mot
