FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
WHERE IS IT aoINeP


Richmond has a total assessed
value of S3,542,3OO which at a
tax rate OF $1.25 a hundred gives
an invaluable fund of S44.278.75.
In addition to this, it has l,144
polls at $1.50 each, making So, loo.
Thus the total funds contributed
by personal taxpayers this year
will be S46.434.00. In addition
to this there is the tax realized
from railroads and license tax
amounting to about $1,000 which
latter sum, so far as the license
tax is concerned, is estimated on
last years revenue from that
source.
The people want to know what
is going with this money and
how it is being expended and
the city council should order
printed a financial report of the
city of Richmond.
The City School Board is de-
handing large amount OF
money for the maintenance OF
Caldwell High School, and the
public is entitled to a printed
statement of the financial condi-
ton of this school. 1t is not the
object or the purpose of this arti-
Gle to reflect on the city govern
ment or the public school, but a
published statement of the fnan-
cial affairs of each should be
made in order that the public
may have full information on this
point.
There is no disposition on the
part of anyone to impair the
efficiency of Caldwell Hig h
School nor do we insinuate that
the conduct of that school orthat
the conduct of the affairs of the
city, have not been properly ad
ministered. But lets turn on the
light. Publicity is the safety
valve of the machinery of Gov
eminent.

STRAW VOTES

The straw votes which are be-
ing taken over the country by the
Beckham newspapers always re-
suit in a great victory for Beck
ham, those taken by the Stanley
papers make that gentleman a
sure winner, while the McCreary
papers boost their candidate.
Straw votes don't amount to
much, its the vote that is counted
that elects. But if our diStin-
guished candidate is defeated we
will acquiesce in the result.
1t was the policy of the Demo.
cratic party to elect a senator by
a popular vote, and all of the
candidates strongly advocated
that method. If a fair election
is held, and we have no doubt
that it will be, all good Demo
Gratis should accept the result, la,
aside all personalities and entel
into the spirit of the election dno
land the party nominee by a big
majority.

Death of Mrs. Henry Pickles

Mrs. Henry Pickles died very
suddenly at her home on Second
street at about 9 o'clock on Mon.
day evening while apparently in
her usual health. She had eaten
supper and was still seated in her
chair when without warning she
fell back and never regained con,
sciousness. This was at six
o'clock. She lived until nine.
Mrs. Pickles was before her
marriage a Miss Burton, of Mich.
olasville, and was married many
years ago to Mr.. Henry Pickles,
one OF our well known business
men. She was So years of age,
and a life long member of the
Christian church. Of her it can
be truthfully said ''her good works
follow her." AS a neighbor she
was kind and unselfish, a most
devoted wife and mother and q
faithful worker in her church
The funeral will be held at 2::3e
o'clock on Wednesday at the
home, thence her burial in the
Richmond cemetery.
Mrs. Pickles is survived by hel
husband and one sister, Mrs. Eos
ter, of Lexington, and two chill
dren, Mrs. Weber Hamilton and
Mr.. Roger Pickles, of this city.
The deepest sympathy is fell
for the family in their sorrow.

EstilI County Woman Reveals
Singular Story Of Wifes' Devotion

A singular story of a wife's
love and devotion to an outlaw
husband comes from Irvine, Es-
till county, this State, which has
been revealed by the arrival there
of Mrs. Mary Mcintosh, former
wife of Nimrod Mcintosh, after
an abesnce of eight years, during
which her family and friends
were ignorant of her whereabouts.
Eight years ago her husband,
Nimrod Mcintosh, shot and kill
ed two men, Sam Fox and John
Griffin, on Barnes Mountain, so
it was charged. He was captur-
ed by a Sheriff's posse, taken to
jail at Irvine, indicted by the
grand jury for the double crime
and was awaiting trial when. in
some mysterious manner he
broke Jail and fled the country,
going, it is said, to the far West.
Shortly after his escape his wife
disappeared from her home in
Estill county, leaving a note with
her family that she had gone to
join her fugitive husband. Dur.
ing all these eight years nothing
was heard of either Mcintosh OF
his wife, and despite the reward
offered for him no trace of his
whereabouts was found.
A few days ago Mrs. Mcintosh
returned to her old home near
Irvine, KY, and reported that hel
husband was dead. They had
lived under an assumed name
in the West and had kept theil
identity a secret, according to hel
story, for fear he would be de
tected and brought back to Ken
lucky to answer for the double
crime of which he was accused
A sad feature of the case i.
that upon her arrival at Irvine
she learned of the death of he
father, ]. D. Brinegar, during he
long absence and that her famil,
had been scattered among stran
gers, she felt a yearning for he
old home and decided to return
to Kentucky.
Although Mrs. Mcintosh tell
a straight story of her husband
death, the Estill county author
ties will investigate in order to b.
thoroughly convinced that tn
outlaw is dead before orderin!
the indictments against him flet
away.-Louisville Times.

TUESDAY, JULY %, 1914.
VOTE FOR MccREART

We are for Governor McCreary
for several reasons, among the
many of which we can name
these three: First he is a Madi-
son county man; second, he is an
able man; third, he has had great
experience in state, national and
international affairs.
We do not speak in disparage-
ment of the other candidates, but
we cannot refrain from the idea
that as between the three candi-
dates for the long term, that Gov
ernor McCreary possesses the
faculties of a senator in a pre-
eminent degree over his other
worthy competitors. Mr.. Nc
Creary is diplomatic and knows
how to conduct public affairs.
He has a wide fund of informa-
ton gained by practical expert
ence, and because of this he has
been recognized by former ad,
ministrations and appointed to
some very high places in interna,
tional affairs of this country.
He is in accord with the Wilson
administration.
In this his home county, he
should have the unanimous sup
port of the voters. 1t may be
that in the conduct of his official
affairs, as we'll as private affairs,
he has estranged some of his
former friends. If he has, these
people should not show resent
ment at the polls. 1t would be
very gratifying to Gov. McCreary
to know that in this, his last race
he has received the unanimous
endorsement of his home people.

A DOSE OF FILM FLAM

The residents of Lancaster
Avenue have had a very fine dose
of fim-fam given them in the
way of oiling the street. 1t ap-
pears that those who refused to
subscribe anything for the oil
were some of the chief benehci-
aries in its distribution, and those
who subscribed and were willing
to pay for it, got practically none.
1t is a matter that should be in.
vestigated thoroughly by the city
council and Mavor.

OUNCES OF PREVENTION

Berea has issued an order pre-
venting the use of the hose for
watering the lawns in that city on
account of the scarcity of water.
This is a timely warning and
the authorities of the Water &
Light Company of this city,
should see to it that all waste of
water is stopped. There are a
number of leaky hydrants and
water cocks that are allowed to
run all the time.

DOG DAYS ARE HERE

The much hated dog days are
now with us and parents should
exercise due caution with their
children. All dogs in the city
should be muzzled and the utmost
caution should be taken to pre-
vent mad dog scares. It's better
to keep all the dogs up for awhile
rather than to have some chill
dren bitten and die from the
rabies.
