AN ERROR OF THE CLIMAX.

Our friends of the Climax made mis-
take in their article stating that IN con
solidating his paper with the Climax,
Judge Lilly ''grasped the opportunity to
purchase an interest in the oldest paper
in town" The Register lays claim to
seniority of years in the local journals
tic world by long margin. 1t was es-
tablished during the Civil War as the
Register and has been published contin-
uouSly since under the name. For ten
or twelve years it was the only paper in
in Richmond, the Herald being estab-
lished at the end of that period. Later
on the Herald became defunct and was
under the name of the Gil
max, which 1t has worn down to this
time. The Register, however, is. one of
the few weekly papers in Kentucky that
has Civil War birth date and was the
pioneer in Madison county without COM
petition for many years Register.
We are not much concerned about our
age. What we want TO do is 10 accom-
plish all the good we can for Richmond,
Madison county and ourselves.

Beautiful, Daring Western
Girls.

In no part of the habitabe globe are
there better lady riders than can be
found in the West. A girl must be able

Indeed, horseback riding is as common
and easy a pastime to wild Western

The Western girl goes everywhere on
horseback. She can join set of equine
quadrilles or Virginia reel and gallop 20

Col. w. P. Walton, the veteran

Grant E. Lilly, owner and editor
of the MadiSonian, a rival local
paper, and has sold out o k,

THE LAST GREAT
EUROPEAN WAR;.

History repeats itself--but with varia-
lions. A hundred years ago France alone,
under the leadership of Napoleon, faced
Germany, Austria, Italy, Russia, and
Great Brittian-AND WON.
AT thirty-six, Napoleon had conquered
every nation of Europe and in the battle
of Austerlitz in 1905, practically brought
the continent under the subsection of the
French army. Then Austria, Germany
and Russia formed the great coalition
against France, only to be beaten in bat
tie after battle until they were forced to
sue for peace. England, thanks to her i'm
pregnable navy, was the only nation not
forced to acknowledge NapoIeon's rule.
1t was the snow covered sleeps of Rus
STA rather than the military science of Eu-
rope that finally turned The tide against
him.
The present European crisis gives par
ticular opportuneness to the offer of Ma
poleon's Memoirs, announcement of which |
is made in another column of this paper |
Few books throw a more Illuminating |
and interesting light on the underlying |
causes of those years of conflict than the
fascinating story of the man whose mete-
oric career left Europe sown with the seeds
of discomfort.
Eventually" said Napoleon, Russia
will rule the world" The present conflict
will go far towards determining the truth
of that prophecyand day by day it will fur
nish an absorbing illustration of the adj
vance which has been made in the art of
warfare since the days, only century ago,
when France alone had Europe at her feet
Napoleon's Memoirs, written by his
private secretary, Baron DeMeneval, will
give you a clearer insight into that ire
upheaval of Europe which the
present crisis seems destined to reproduce, .
We were fortunate in securing the story
of 'The Marshal" appearing exclusively
in our paper. 1t is a beautiful story of
French history in the time of Napoleon
Dur readers are greatly pleased with it.

FARMERS REPURCHASE
WHEAT AND MAY NEED IT

There is a possibility that some
wheat has been frozen out by the
continuous cold spell and that reseed-
ing may be made necessary. Accord
ingly purchases OF wheat for seeding
are being made. One farmer, Earl
Tulloch, has Just purchased 1900
bushels in the belief he may have TO
do some reseedlng. Another farmer
is known to have purchased 500
bushels for the same reason, though
he Is not certain he will have to re-
seed.
Among most OF the farmers there
is a feeling of uneasness as the
ground is very dry and the cold has
lasted unusually long. However well
informed men say It is impossible to
tell as yet whether the wheat is hurt.

Immediately follows the cold spell
there will be no damage. The same

said there is little danger OF freeze.

Having failed to appreciate prop

the officers of the law, Cecil Bussell
of Milton now finds himself in the
county Jail awaiting further action
from these same officers on a charge
of non support. He was brought
down from Freewater last evening by
Deputy Sheriff Joe West and turned
over to the sheriff.
BruSsell was one of the young men
implicated about year ago in the
cases growing out of alleged immoral
lty and traffic in young girls in Mil
ton and Freewater. To cheat the law.
the officers declare. he married the
girl who was the complaining witness
against him. However, they state
that he deserted her Immediately and
has ever since failed to support eth
er her or the child born to her. By
his own admission, they state, he has
given her only 80 cents in year and
afterwards borrowed 90 cents of that
back.
He was indicted by the grand jury
last spring on charge Of non-sup-
port but upon his promise to correct
his ways and the urgent request OF
his young wife, the officers did not
push the case, deciding to give him
another chance, His promises were
not kept, they now allege, the man
deserting his family again and going
up into Washington, leaving his wife
and her mother to make a meager
living by hard work.
The man now wants another chance
hut District Attorney Steiwer declared
this morning he was not disposed to
extend any more leniency and would
let the man make his plea to tho
court. He is big man, physically
able to work. and the district attor-
ney feels that he has forfeited all
claims to further consideration.

is an unloaded revolver carried II
the pocket concealed weapon
Justice OF the Peace Joe H. Parkei
declares IL is not under the Language
OF the statute, while District Attor
ney Frederick Steiwer is Of the opin'
ion that It is and may ask the su'
preme court to make a ruling.
Yesterday Justice OF the Peace
Farkes ordered dismissed the case OF
the State VS.. Joseph Bohl who was
charged with carrying a concealed
weapon. In a quarrel at Gibbon with
John Thompson over some calves,
Bohl. by his own admission, drew a
revolver and presented It at Thomp-
son. His defense was that the re-
volyer was not loaded and his attor-
ney, Judge Lowell, contended that
under the language OF the statute
covering the offense of carrying con
cealed weapons the defendant was
not guilty.
The statute reads 1T shall be un-
lawful for any person to carry con-
cealed about his person in any man
ner whatever any revolver. pistol, or
other firearm, or any knife (other
than an ordinary pocket knife), or
any dirk or dagger. slung shot, or
metal knuckles, or any instrument by
the use of which injury could be in
flicted upon the person or property
of any other person"
Judge Lowell contended that the
clause "by the use of which injury
could be inflicted etc, referred back
to the weapons specifically named,
while the district attorney argued
that the clause was used to define
"any instrument" other than those
named Furthermore, he contended
that II the construction placed upon
the statute by the defense were cor
rect, even then the defendant was
guilty for the reason an unloaded re.
volver is an instrument which can be
used TO inflict injury.
Judge Parkes, after taking the case
under advisement for day, accepted
the Interpretation of the defense and
dismissed the case. The state can
take no appeal but another similar
case. that involving Charles Britton
(Powder) will probably come up soon
and the district attorney may ask the
supreme court for an opinion.
