Treatmen, Of Garner Diseases

The treatment Of disease carriers
from the view point Of Preventive
Medicine is two-toId, first, their
isolation, second, their cure. When
disease carriers are isolated from
normal people, they cease TO spread
the disease in question The nor
mai people then have no means OF
coming incontact with the infection.
This may be illustrated by the work
done in some of the large state hos

ZACHARY TAYLOR'S OLD
HOMESTEAD CONSERVED

Louisville. Ky, Nov. 1.-THE old
Zachary Taylor home and farm has
been purchased by DR.. J. A. Brady
for 100000 from the estate of his
late brother, Matthew Brady, under
the terms of deed providing that
the ownership of the Taylor home
shall never pass from the Brady
family unless it be acquired by the
United States Government.
Congressman Sherley has indicat-
ed that he is willing to introduce a
bill proposing its conversion into a
national park. but DR.. Brady has ex-
pressed no willingness to part with
the historic place.
The body of General Taylor is
buried on this farm, and in the
house his daughter. Miss Knox Tay-
lor, was married in June. 1853, to
Jefferson Davis, who later became
President of the Confederacy.

UNITED STATES COURT
WILL CONVENE MONDAY
In OwensbOrO-Case Against
Isaac Mason Is The
Most Important.

The United States Court will con-
vene in greensboro on Monday af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock, November "a,
with Judge Evans on the bench.
Judge Evans win devote the first
session to the disposing of minor
motions that may be brought before
him.
On Tuesday, the second day, the
grand and petit juries will be en-
paneled, and it is likely that the
court will finish up the work of the
term on the afternoon of that day.
The only case of any special i'm
portance is that against Isaac Mason,
former postmaster at Adairville, who
is under indictment for tampering
with the mails. This prosecution is
certain to be tried, and arrangements
are being made to that effect. 1t is
known that Deputy Marshal Nichols
has been busy for the past several
days summoning character witness
eS lOT MdSoh, thCiC UOihS o'Oi "V
summoned to testify on this ques-
ton. 1t is not likely, however, that
all will testify. as Judge Evans gen.
orally limits the defendant to about
three witnesses on the question of
character.
The prosecution against Walter
C. Houghland, of Calhoun, for vio-
lating the rules regarding Govern
ment locks on Green river will also
be disposed of at this term.
There are three prosecutions
against Ernest l.. Morris, who lives
just above greensboro, he being
charged with violating the postal
laws. which, it is understood, will be
tried at this term.
The following persons are in Jail
to be indicted and tried at this term
for retailing liquor: John Green.
Ed Smith, Cicero Bratcher, Henry
C. Hayes. Sid Hardeston. Robert
Johns, Bob Hughes, Jude Floyd,
Angus Johnson, Bob Watkins, Tom
Fraser, Clarence Morris. Joe Early,
Joe Clayton and Jas. Newkirk.
In order to relieve the docket,
Judge Evans recently held a special
term of court In Louisville when is
persons, who were in jail in Owens
boro, were each fined 500 and costs
and given 80 days in jail for retail
ing liquor

JUDGE I. II. SPALDING
DEAD AT MORGANFIELD

Morganfield, Ky, Nov. IA
Death came suddenly this morning
to Judge l. H. Spalding, aged eigh-
ty, one of the most prominent Ken
tuckians in this section of the State.
Judge Spaldng practiced law be-
fore the Union county bar for over
fifty-five years. having entered the
law Office of the late Judge Hous-
ton many years ago. He was edu-
Gated by the Jesuits and had served
many times as State Senator, men,
Der of the Kentucky House of Rep
resentatives and County Judge.
He was also a member of the Con-
stitutional Convention, and was
known as the father of the State
Railroad Commission" of which he
was the first member.
Judge Spalding was once candi-
date for Congress, but was beaten
by three votes by "Quinine Jim"
Mckenzie, his best friend. His
aged wife, who before her marriage
was Miss Sue Johnson. survives him.
He is also survived by one son and
three daughters. two OF whom are
nuns, one being at Nazareth.

.OROUTH AFFECTS
KENTUCKY CROPS
Last Report For Year Is
Issued.
AVERAGE YIELDS ARE SHORT
Warm Quarters Should Be
Afforded Animals To
Preserve Life.
STOCK FEEDERS ARE WARNED

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 15.-The
last crop report for the year has
been issued by Commissioner of Ag-
riculture J. w. Newman. The re-
port says:
1.-The long drouth in Kentucky
has been broken. There has been
sufficient rainfall to start the fall
sown grains off in splendid condi-
ton, and stock water in most places
is now plentiful. Fall grass is start
ing to grow, but it is too late in the
season for any great amount of pas
ture to be secured. The cold wealth.
err and short supply of grass have
caused the farmers to begin feeding
stock from a month to six weeks
earlier than usual. Quite good
deal of fall blowing has been done.
1.-THE final yield of corn in Ken
lucky for 1913, as reported, is 20.5
bushels per acre. The Government
estimate for 1912 was 3O.4 bushels.
The final yield of Burley tobacco is
reported as 655 pounds per acre. AS
there was an acreage of approx
mately $4,000, this would indicate
that the Burley crop of Kentucky
would be lis, 100000 pounds. The
final yield of dark tobacco is sos
pounds per acre, and, with an acre
age of approximately 10000, makes
the total yield of dark tobacco about
IL, 100000. The drouth has cut corn
about one-third, Burley tobacco
about one-third and dark tobacco
about one-half.
"The per cent. of wheat sown is
given as 91.5, and the condition of
the wheat as 91.S. This indicates
rather a large crop of wheat for
next year.
"A great deal of the corn that
has been produced is unsound. The
supply of roughness is short, and
with practically no winter pasture
and with feeding beginning so early,
large death rate may be expected
among the live stock of the State
this winter Warm, sanitary quar-
tiers are always a good thing for live
stock, but are absolutely necessary
where the supply of feed is not up to
the standard. Farmers can save the
lives of great many animals by
preparing comfortable quarters for
them now

HER FORMER LOVER WAS
KILLED by CHILD-WIFE

Hobert. Okla. Nov. 15.-Mrs.
Anna Russell. child-wife of a year,
to-day shot and instantly killed Ber-
nard Phinney. her former lover. She
used an automatic revolver and shot
Phinney four times, each shot being
sufficient to cause instant death.
Mrs. Russell then drove back to
her home. telephoned the police to
come for her, and tonight is in jail
charged with the murder. She had
been separated from Russell, her
husband. only few weeks.
Mrs. Russell, who is a mite of a
girl. only II years old. phoned Phin-
ney that she was coming to kill him
on sight. following his refusal to
marry her. He accepted the threat
as a joke until she drove up to his
house, called him out and shot him
to death.
Both Mrs. Russell and Phinney
come from families prominent in
Southwestern Oklahoma. Her par
ents are extensive land owners near
Roosevelt.

Gen. Carranza, but he could make
no Roadway against the late Gov
eminent because the people were
not with him. Carranza has forged
ahead steadily. If he had not been
hampered for arms, he could have
wiped out the dictator months ago.
The lack of arms has impeded him
also in establishing better order in
the north of the republic. At that.
he has succeeded both as an admin
istrator and a military leader, divid-
ing his time and energies between
stabilizing the Constitutional Gov
eminent and pushing the campaign
against Huerta.
81 cannot believe that interview
tion with arms ever will be neces-
sary, but if it must come, pray, for
the best interests of both countries,
that it shall not be until after Mex
leo shall have had all possible
chances to right herself

Don Julio, is fighting with Carranza.

for trial by civil Office and jury.
No appeals were listened to.
Villa was firm. ut must be done;
traitors must pay the penalty" he
declared. "Huerta murdered our
Constitutional President; he would
murder the liberty of Mexico. His
supporters must die for the good of
our fatherland."
Villa did not deny the executions,
but declared that only men known to
be traitors had been killed. He ad-
mitted the killing of Torres and also
of Colonel Enrique Portillo, but ex-
cused the first execution with the
declaration that Torres had been a
Constitutionalist and had deserted
to the Federals at Torreon.
Villa admitted the execution of
four Captains, Colonel Portillo and
two Lieutenants, but Americans in
Juarez this afternoon declared they
had seen a much larger number of
dead bodies in the streets with bull
let holes through their hearts, not
withstanding that the bodies of all
those killed in battle this morning
were declared to have been removed
by noon. Several reports are that
% or 80 were executed.
Aside from the executions this af-
ternoon Juarez was as quite as any
Mexican border town. There was
not the slightest evidence that a bat
tie had ragged few hours before.

quence the roads in Western Ken
lucky are in better shape now than
ever before.

VERY BUSY SESSION OF
HANCOCK CIRCUIT COURT
Three Murder and Two Robbery
Cases Give Docket a
Serious Aspect.

Hawesville, Ky, Nov. 1.-THE
November term of the Hancock cir
cult court will open here on Mon
day at $3.50 a. m. upon the ar
rival of Judge T. F. Birkhead and
Prosecutor Ben ID. Ringo from Ow-
ensboro. For the first time in many
years, if not in the whole history
of the county, there will be three
murder cases on the docket. These
are Gardie Williams. of Cannelton,
Ind, for the killing of Al Mason a
few weeks ago while in a drunken
brawl above town; Geo. Watson,
marshal of Lewisport, for the shoot
ing to death of John Van Lahrr, a
tenant on his farm, and Ernest Bas-
ham, for the alleged fatal shooting
of Ralph Young. The first two
have not been indicted but are in
Jail awaiting the action of the grand
jury. The last named was indicted
at the last term of court and was
released on bond. Only circum-
stantial proof exists against Bas-
ham, and if he pleads at all except
as to his non-guilt. it is believed
that it will be the unwritten law.
There is proof to show that Young
was visitor to the Basham prem
Uses at times when Mr.. Basham
was not at home. The robbery
charges are against Melvin Harris
and Charles Brenhall. both res
pectable looking and educated young
tramps from Tennessee. They are
charged with taking a gun, clothing.
a watch and some eatables from
farmers homes in the Falcon To-
