Judge Summers Hardy is a young
man who has proven an honor to
the town which he really calls home.
He was practically raised in Ard
more, and received most of his edu-
cation here. He studied law and
was admitted to practice, and by
perseverance has risen to the su.
preme bench of the state, all within
few years. He was elected district
judge of the Hugo district after
statehood and held that office until
elevated to the supreme bench in
the last election.

WOUNDED GERMANS RETURNING

TERROR OF ENEMY
German Mortars Cause Fearful Ef-
feet Among the Allies - Germans
Declare Enemy Are Unable to
Stand Before Fire of Germans.

Berlin, Oct. 10.-"Artillery is ;
trump in this war;" says a wound
ed German officer interviewed by
The Tageblatt. He continues:
"Our German shells are wonders
In addition to their destructive eff
feet, the moral effect of their de-
tonation is plainly to be observed
The enemy is not little affected
by the dull, uncanny noise. The
showing of our field howitzers is a
complete success. They are actually
equal to the heaviest field pieces of
the French, the Rimailho (15.5 cent?
meter) howitzers. The French shells
are an effective projectile, except
that they do not always explode.
"In our advances we have had
opportunity to observe on the French
dead and wounded the effect of our
shells, and it was very great. At
the beginning of the war the percuss-
i've point of our projectiles is said
to have lain too high, and it is
interesting to note that we first
learned this from letters captured
from the French.
at must be said that the French
cannoneers shoot extraordinarily well.
They keep a sharp watch, open fire
as soon as they see dust rising,
even at great distances, where they
can reckon only on moral effect.
They must also have excellent in
formation at their disposal. Their
ammunition supply is well looked
after. A cessation of fire because of
lack of ammunition almost never
occurs. This is the more remark
able because of their system of fir
ing, in which they seek out an
area in which they assume the en-
emy to be present, and simply de-
luge it with their fire.
"Our heavy artillery has become

appearance of the 'growler' (the

Lingering Illness Of kensuekisn as-
srzsated BY a FaII-Forty Years
In Public Life.

Washington. - William o. Bradley.
United States senator from Kentucky,
died here. after a lingering illness ag-
gravated by a fall.
Senator Bradley was one OF the
most distinguished Republican lead
ers OF Kentucky in his generation. An
orator OF unusual ability. for 40 years
he had been prominent before the
people Of his state and the nation.
Born In ls47. he was only IL years
OF age when the war between the
states broke out. Twice he ran away
from home TO join the Union army,
only to be taken from the ranks by
his father because Of his extreme
youth.
As a page of the lower house Of
the Kentucky Legislature be attract
ed such attention that at the age Of
IS special act was passed by the
Legislature enabling him to practice
Law II he proved his qualifications and
made the Law his profession.
From the time he became OF age
until his death there scarcely was a
state convention Of his party In which
Senator Bradley was not a prominent
figure. He was but little less prom
inent in the Republican national con
ventions. For IS years he was unani-
mously chosen delegate at large
from Kentucky to the national CON
ventions. At the convention in 1896
he was the choice Of his state for
president. and received los votes for
vice president in the lssS convention.
