dore Perry 2 special attraction in the
Louisville celebration will be the re-
union of the Perry family, regardless
Of kinship. Everybody by the name
of Perry will be invited to this spe-
cial entertainment and those who ex-
pect 10 attend are requested to notify

The Kentucky Association, which
has in charge the Louisville celebra-
ton. has given an order for quarter
OF million ancestry certificates to be
handsomely ensaved, and which will
be filled in and given away as souve-
Mrs to descendants of Kentucky sol
dicrs and sailors of the War of 1872.
Another entertainment in their hon
or will be mammoth reception. at
which refreshments will be served and
opportunity provided for public adj
dresses. For the few remaining actual
sons and daughters a banquet will be
given. A great ball will be given in
the First Regiment ArmOry, which has
a capacity OF 10000 for them.
Forty per cent of the white male
population of Kentucky engaged in the
War of 1912, consequently forty per
cent OF the succeeding generation we're
really sons and daughters of that war,
and, estimating that one-half of them
intermarried with families which did
rot participate in the war, sixty per
cent of the third generation were
grandchildren of the war, and in sim
liar manner at least seventy-five per
per cent Of the fourth and incoming
18th generations are descendants of
i<entuckians who fought in that war.
1t is estimated that in the state OF
Kentucky alone one million men, WON.
en- and children are eligible to partici-
pate III the proposed reunion, and ii
is estimated that another million now
living outside of Kentucky are eligible
to participate.
During the week of the celebration
in Louisville spectacular free events
including features on a mammoth
scale not heretofore given with any
American celebration, will be provided
every afternoon and evening. Pilgrim
ages to notable historic scenes of in
terest may be made in the mornings
In addition to free attractions there
will be scores OF the highest priced
amusement concessions that can be Sc
cured ON the American continent.
The railroads in a radius OF 5O(
miles of Louisville have been asked
to make a rate for the celebration
week and Immediately preceding anC
following that week of one cent mile
Railroads running out Of Louisville
probably will give low rates to othel
points in Kentucky, so that forme
Kentuckians who live a great distance
can visit their old homes as we'll al
attend the Louisville celebration.
Local committees are preparing al

teeing that articles loaned for tn
week will be returned to owners. Thi

doubtedly be the most valuable collec
ton in America.

THRILLING STORIES.
Told by Eye Witnesses as They Tray
eled on q Train.

Eyewitness Of the flooded dis
tricts of Ohio, who reached Chicago
Wednesday, told stories Of deVasta-
ton wrought by the swollen streams
throughout the deluged section.
From windows Of a Baltimore and
Ohio train-W. H. Chown, OF Eng
Land, saw men, women and children
fleeing from their homes as the wa
ters undermined foundations and
carried OF house after house.
For miles and miles we saw moth
ing but water" said Chown. Farm
houses, almost submerged, could be
seen on every hand and from their
windows, people carrying what few
articles they could crawled into boats
and rowed away. Every stream we
crossed seemed to be raging tor
rent, it's waters racing at top speed
far beyond it's natural boundaries.
Absolute darkness seemed to reign
In the districts through which the
train passed, according to Alfred
Griffin, another Englishman, who was
a passenger. The farther We got the
worse seemed to become the condi-
tions," he said. There were no
lights along the entire countryside.
It wos most gloomy and awe-inspiring
We could hear the swish of the wa
ters through the darkness and every
now and then the cries Of people in
distress. It was q horrible expert
ence."

Shoots Cattle During Night.

"Caw Caw," writing to The Cal
houn Advance says: Some weeks
ago Mr.. Henry Rickenbaker's cattle
we're shot during the night. Among
them was COW with a very young
calf was killed. Will no arrest be
made in this matter? 1t would pay
the community to hire a detective.
There is a law for taking up cattle
and a law for damages. A man who
will 20 out into the darkness and kill
a neighbor's cattle will go out into
the darkness and kill the owner o:
the cattle If he takes spite against
him. The principal is the same. 1t
takes a bad heart to kill an innocent
COW with a newborn calf. Such con-
duct should be handled and given to
understand that there is some law in
this country"

Tending the eastern side OF the city
was captured by the Bulgarians after
a most spectacular assault at the
point Of bayonet by long lines OF in
fantry, which were strengthened rap
idly by the second Of reserve lines.
The eastern forts soon fell into their
hands and Bulgarian batteries were
Immediately placed in position to
concentrate their fire on the other
works. The way was thus cleared
for a direct assault on the city itself.
Shukri, the Turkish commander
in-chief OF Adrianople, committed
suicide after the capture of the CITY,
according to news agency dispatch
from Sofia. He had made a most
gallant defence of the post, but he
could not face the humiliation of SUR
rendering the city and his army to
the Bulgarians, 50 he took his life.
Adrianople, the former Turkish
capital, withstood the siege OF a great
Bulgarian army for over five months
the first gun having been fired at the
fortress October 5. Shukri Pasha,
the commander-in-chief, had under
him within the encircling forts what
was considered the flower OF the
Turkish regular army. The main
portion OF the garrison consisted OF
the fourth army corps, which had
added many regiments and batteries
who had oeen drawn in before the ad-
vancing Bulgarian army.
The Notifications which had been
subjected to almost continuous bonn
bardment by hundreds of field and
siege guns for about 16O days were
very strong. They consisted OF ~
modern forts composing a semi-cir-
Gle around the northern half OF the
CITY from east to west with minor
works between. On the south OF the
CITY there was also series Of forts
but much dependence was placed on
the character Of the ground there
which was formed by treacherous
marshes.
The city contains about $4,000 In
habitants, half Of whom are Turks
and the others Armenians, 1sraeliteS
and Greeks.

much anxiety is felt in that commun-
ity over the apparent fate Of Melvin
Nexen, the soa Of Jno. NJ. Nexen, a
prominent farmer and merchant,
near that place. Melvin left home

his stay was being prolonged, and it
DEVELOPED that he was thought to

party was then organized, and We'd
nesday afternoon his horse was found
drowned in Black river, near Stew

to it, and great fears are entertained
that young Mr.. NeXen was also
drowned. Young Mr.. Nexen was
about "a years of age and unmarried.
He was a most promising young man
and his untimely death, If such be
the case, will be greatly deplored.

FALSE REPORT CAUSES PANIC.
Thousands at Columbus Fled fol
Places Of Safety.

A wild panic was caused in Colum-
bus. Ohio, late Wednesday when pa
troll wagons dashed through High
street warning people to flee for their
lives. The police had received
report that the great storage dam
which furnishes the city its supply
had broken and was sweeping down
upon the city billions of gallons OF
water. In the downtown district and
throughout the city the widest
scenes of excitement were enacted. 1t
was not for a long time afterwards
that the report was corrected and
something like order restored. Later
every available automobile patrol
wagon was ordered out and sent over
the main section of the east side and
throughout the business district
reassuring the people many thou
sands of whom had fled in the wild
stampede.

HITS THE SCHOOLS HARD
GOVERNOR BLEASE REFUSES TO
OBEY THE LAW
Fails to Attend Meeting Of the Board
to Arrange to Borrow Money to
Carry Oh Schools.

Governor Blease did not attend the
meeting Of the financial board OF the
State, called for to-day to make some
arrangements looking to borrowing
80, 900 for the use Of the rura
schools. The meeting was held in
the Office OF the State Treasurer with
only Comptroller General Jones and
State Treasurer Carter present.
The Legislature at its recent ses'
sion imposed a special one-mill tax
levy for the support Of the free rural
schools and empowered the financial
board Of the State to borrow $780,
900, if so much be needed, for the
schools and pledge the income from
this tax in payment Of the loan.
State Superintendent Of Education
Swearingen the other day called the
Governors attention to the pressing
and immediate need of about $4,000
to enable the rural schools to contin-
ue right now and asked the board to
meet and make arrangements for
borrowing this amount. It was for
this purpose that today's meeting
was called.
The Governor in a message to the
General Assembly stated that he did
not speak to the State Treasurer and
Comptroller General and would not
serve with them. However, the Leg
islature put it in the hands OF these
two officials and the Governor to bor-
row the money and the matter is up
to them.
It is authoritively stated that un-
less the money is borrowed by the
end Of the week that some $4,000
children in the rural schools will be
deprived Of school and many Of the
schools forced to close their doors.
Intense interest has been aroused
throughout the State, for scores OF
the schools have applied to the Sup
erintendent Of Education for aid.
1t ali depends on the attitude the
Governor will take. II he declines
to act with the other members OF the
financial board it will hardly be pos
sible to borrow any money, it Is said.

WORST FLOOD OF YEARS
DAMAGE GREATEST SINCE GAL
WESTON FLOOD.
Heavy Loss Of Life is Reported and
Several Towns Have Been Wiped
or the Man

Several Towns Have Been Wiped
Or the Map.
A dispatch from Columbus says
Ohio is in the midst of the worst
| food in its history. Many estimate
that the damage to property is the
greatest since Galveston, Texas, was
literally swept of the map. Gather
ing darkness Thursday night brought
no relief to the scores Of cities and
towns Of the State that are inundated
and cut of from the outside world
but instead cast a gloom over the
rushing waters, practically thwarted
rescue work and increased the hor-
rors Of the situation. Thousands OF
persons are imprisoned by the swooll-
en- waters.
Although the waters IN some places
are reported to be slowly receding
there was no immediate relief in
sight Thursday night, while rain con-
tinued to descend at times in tor
rents. So appalling and seemingly
exaggerated were many Of the re-
ports from flooded cities and towns
Thursday that they were disputed,
and in many instances wholly disre-
garded. Later reports from these
same sections, however, many times
confirmed what seemed to be wild ru-
mors. In other cases reports proved
not to be correct.
The various news agencies are
working under great difficulties in
securing accurate reports because OF
crippled wire facilities. Many cities
and towns are completely isolated
and only rumors can be obtained.
These can not be verified until wire
and transportation service is restor-
ed. Although reports Of distress and
disaster are coming in from every
section, the greatest damage and loss
of life apparently is at Dayton. Con-
ditions there beggar description.
While the business section is practi-
cally under water and the estimated
loss of life is appalling, fires are add
ing to the terror.
The lurid lights from burning
buildings are adding horrors to the
stricken city. Loss Of life is esti-
mated at from hundreds to thou
sands. Handicapped efforts at rescue
work Thursday failed to clarity the
puzzling situation regarding loss OF
life in Columbus. Many who are con-
sidered conservative place the loss
there from 100 to $50. From Sid
ney comes the report that from 100
to 500 have been drowned. Gov.
Cox said he had information that
there was no loss of life in Sidney.
Reports from the southern part Of
the state indicate that the situation
there is serious and may result IN a
heavy death toll. GAINESVILLE, on the
swollen Muskingum river, according
to reports Thursday night, was large
" under water and several buildings
are reported to have collapsed. Wire
communication was cut on early
Thursday night when the Western
Union Telegraph Office was flooded.
The operators last words were that
the town was under water and that a
building near the telegraph office had
fallen. So runs the news from all
parts Of Ohio.

Train and Passengers Lost,

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
telegraph operator received a wire

hundred persons, had apparently
been lost.

Announcement was made from the

the company would carry free contri-

West. All such contributions must
be addressed to the municipal author
tiles or relief committees of the
towns to which they are sent.

Twelve bodies were recovered In

the occupants could vacate.
