The mother ceased furnbing her apron. She made

Serious Charge.

Alex Lander, colored boy, IL
years OF age, was before Judge
Knight yesterday morning on the
charge of being implicated in an out
rage on Glendora Gary last Sunday
afternoon. The boy stoutly denied
his guilt and said he knew nothing
whatever about it. The testimony
of the little girl, only.13 years old,
was strong against the boy. Judge
Knight put the boy in the custody
of his parents and will take definite
action at the same timeihe passes on
the case of Tom Dawson, the young
negro boy who was first!arrested for
outraging the girl.

IT PAYS TO COMPROMISE.
Louisville and Cumberland Tel
ephOne Company Come To
Reason at Last.

Louisville has done what Hopkins
vile did in a similar situation four
years ago-settled by agreement its
troubles with the Cumberland Tele-
phone Co. The telephone company
had been operating without fran
chise for 8 years and after several
attempts the mayor brought about
a compromise that ended all litiga-
tion and gave the city free service
amounting to $400 a year for 20
years. Peace terms recently offered
Louisville by the Cumberland COM
pany, worked over in the shape of an
ordinance, have been accepted by
Mayor Buschemeyer, who says the
terms are the best he can get from
the company. An ordinance salts
factory to both the city and the COM
pany is being drafted and will be
submitted to the council next Tues
day night. If passed it will end four
years of costly litigation between the
telephone corporation and the city
on the issue of exorbitant rates.

MISS STARLINC'S LETTER
FROM SIAM MISSION FIELD

any rain at all worth mentioning.
The rain came just at the right time
for the rice.
So the mail didn't come until
Thursday of this week, and then
got only local letters, among them
one from Mrs. c. at Prae, asking me
to come and spend Xmas with them.
So as ! am going down anyhow, !
suppose shall stop there a few days.
You may remember that ! came out
with the Cs. four years ago, and
they have always been good friends
of mine.
The Hartzell baby has been quite
sick with whooping cough and they
are quite uneasy about her. / don't
know that she is really so i'll, but
she is the first baby and every time
she sneezes, they want a consulta-
tion of physicians.
Our whooping cough girls seem to
be getting better, but there is a great
deal of sickness everywhere, especial
ly malaria. The boys are still having
measles, but the girls are still being
spared. In fact, we have great rea-
son to be thankful that there has
been so little sickness in our school.
Our boats start down next week
for our goods and DR.. B. is going
with them, get them loaded and then
go on down to Bangkok for some
dental WORK. He will be gone about
a month in all and get back in time

suffered dreadfully with their teeth.

Police Photographed.

Four policemen, wearing their
best" uniforms and new caps, were
photographed at Bowles' gallery last
Thursday morning. They are a fine
looking bunch, and it is the general
opinion that their caps are big i'm

with a cord for band. They have
been accused ofstaying on the streets
more since they got their new caps,

Nan, N. Siam, Sept. 26th, 19l3.-
We have had exciting times since
got my letter off to you last week.
We had hard rain Friday night,
more rain Saturday, ! went over to
supper that evening, and as went
across the rice field. / could hear the
backwater coming up, with a steady
roar. The next morning when ]
awoke, | could hear the girls yelling,
and suspected there was flood on
hand. When | got up all the back
part of the school yard was flooded,
from the back water. Our compound
is high, so the river didn't get in at
all from the front, but by night,
both school houses were a foot deep
in water, and it had risen as far as
the second step to the house. The
man who went for my meals waded
through water up to his neck. Ot
course there was no church that day
for the road was covered in most
places, and | couldn't even get the
girls to settle down for a service in
the morning, but late in the after.
noon we had one. By Monday morn
ing the water had gone down enough
for Mrs. Taylor to get across by us
ing boat in one place, and being
carried across in another, so we got
boat and went down to the south
places. We sailed through their
front gates and tied the boat to their
steps. Their compounds are much
lower than ours. There was no school
that day, for the natives seem to
think flood is too interesting to al.
low of anything else being consider
ed. Sol went on home with the
Taylors and spent the rest of the day
with them. By evening it seemed
that the water had gone down enough
for me to cross on horse back, so
started out. held up my feet a.
high as could, but in spite of all,
got wet to my knees, and the watel
filled my rubber boots. But by Tues
day morning l got across without
wetting, and ever since have beel
riding to my meals, like l did for a
many weeks last year. But it is to-
late in the season for much rain nov
and the water is drying up fast.

from his swing around the circuit in

fans. A meeting of the local mag
mates was held last night to hear his
reports and start the ball to rolling.
