Local Mans Nephew Killed in France.

Joseph Wieland, a well known far
mer of the Otenheim section, has just
received a letter from relatives in
Germany, bringing the sad news of
the death of his nephew, John Vie
land, in the trenches at St. Containe,
France, a short time ago. Young Vie
land met his death while fighting for
the Fatherland and before he was
killed had made such a fine soldier
and fought valiantly that he had
been awarded the Iron Cross by the
Kaiser, the highest honor that SOL
der can. attain as reward for valor.
Wieland, who was a Bavarian, was a
member of the army commanded by
Crown Prince Rupprecht, of Bavaria.
Three of his brothers are still fight
ing with the German army, one of
them being in the marines at Ostend.
Mr.. Wieland here says that the letter
said that the wound sustained by his
nephew was considered only a slight
one at first, but that it was made by
q "dum dunn" bullet and quickly
proved fatal. Dunn Dunn bullets which
are made with soft noses so that they
will expand upon impact with body,
are prohibited by the rules of inter
national warfare, but charges have
frequently been made during the
present conflict that both sides are
using them.

The body of Bette Shropshire Maui
pin, colored, who was shot to death by
her husband in Cincinnati the first of
the week, was brought here and bu-
ried Thursday afternoon. She was
Bette Shropshire and lived with her
parents in this city until few years

While there she married fellow
named Maupin, who deserted her and
became enamored of another woman.
The story goes that Bette stood this
as long as she could and finally went
to where her husband and the woman
were and begged him to return to her.
He answered her by firing a bullet
into her breast near the heart and
the girl died within a couple of hours
Maupin is in jail in Cincinnati, where
we are informed he is held for-mur-
der in the first degree. The dead
woman is well known here, and was q
Woodworking, well-disposed girl. jim

family came with the body and q
large crowd attended the burial.

some of it ruined. There was no in
surance on the contents, but Mrs.
Hail carried $500 on the house in the

oILINc will COST ABOUT $500
Standard Oil Co., Offers to Lend City
Its Spreader Wagon for Work.

j. w. Sweeney, of Lancaster, was
here early in the week figuring with
the Woman's Club and the City Coun-
Gil with reference to furnishing the
oil which will be applied to the streets
in the event that satisfactory ar
rangements can be made. It is esti-
mated that about 5000 or 5000 gal
Ions of oil will be required, and the
Standard Oil Company for which Mr..
Sweeney is agent, has agreed to lend
the city it's oil wagon, with which to
apply the oil, if freight will be paid
on same from Louisville to Stanford.
The oil can be bought at figure
around five and half cents gallon,
which will make the cost something
like $500. The Woman's Club has
raised about $3.50 by private SUBJ
scription and will ask the city coun-
Gil to appropriate $3.50 out of the
city treasury, which will provide an
ample sum to meet all of the expense
of oiling the streets. This is very
reasonable cost for such a needed
improvement and it is probable that
arrangements will be made for work
to begin at once.

FACTS ON LIQUOR BUSINESS
In Kentucky Given By H. v. McChes-
ney In Speech at Louisa

H. v. McChesney, who opened his
campaign for the democratic nominal
ton for governor, opened the eyes of
many as to the taxation situation as
regards the liquor business in Ken
lucky. He was greeted by crowd
that was so large several hundred
were unable to get nto the court
house. Plans are being made to have
Mr.. McChesney speak in Stanford at
an early date, either court day in
May or June in all probability. In dis
cussing legislation that is needed in
Kentucky he said that before other
reforms can be put into practice, it
will be necessary to get rid of the IL
quor lobby at Frankfort by eliminat-
ing the liquor business from Ken
lucky. He said that the business pays
into the State only an eight of the
tax; that its property, as returned for
taxation, represents only l per cent.
of the real and personal list in the
State, and that the half-million-dollar
revenue derived from it is more than
offset by million and quarter spent
in maintaining prisons and asylums
and the cost of criminal prosecutions,
80 per cent, of which is due, he de-
clared to the use of alcohol.
He said in part: "We have been
hearing a great deal about hundreds
of millions of dollars worth of pro-
perty employed in the manufacture
of whisky and beer in Kentucky, ]
have ascertained from the County AS
SCISSORS books the assessed value of
distilleries, breweries and rectifying
plants. The aggregate of this, real es-
tate, cash and personality, is 1885,, ;
433. The total assessed value of
lands, town lots and personal proerty
in Kentucky, is 1852, ,205. The
valuation of distilleries, breweries and
rectifying plants is only a fraction
over l per cent. of the total. The
State tax rate is so cents on the $10C
so the tax on the So, 564 ,433 employ
ed in the manufacture of liquor is on
ly $42,822. The total revenue from
the liquor interests, ad valorem tax
tax on distilled spirits, on liquor not
in bond and licenses of all kinds is
$637, 977. The total revenue from all
sources is 1851, 95O.23. Public rev.
enue from the liquor business is only
8 per cent. of the total. Eighty-five
to 95 per cent. of crime, insanity
pauperism and delinquency of every
sort is due to the use of liquor. The
annual cost of maintaining the luna
tic asyslums of Kentucky is 1885,.
1922, after deducting prison reve-
nues; an aggregate of $1,354, 5000
Eighty per cent. of this, chargeable
to the effects of liquor, is 81 ,083,677
and deducting from it the $685., 977
revenue from the liquor business
makes net loss to the State of S455,.
700. Kentucky's proportion of the $21
per capita drink bill of the co-ntry
is $48,000,000. The interest on that
would pay the State debt in year
and make the State University anC
Normal School the greatest in the the
country. We could take the $48,000,
1000 for one year and extend the
school term to 10 months and builC
a home for every family in the State
now homeless from drink"

zen, if you are interested in your own
or your neighbors's health come to
this meeting. There will be addresses
made by prominent speakers and ply

Taken To Pen Wednesday.

\ Henry Hudson, who got an indie
terminate sentence of two to five
years for killing Yates w. Burton,
mention of which has been made in
the l. j., was taken to Frankfort to
begin his term Wednesday morning
by Sheriff j. G. Weatherford. He
would have gone Tuesday but his wife
asked that he not be taken on the
18th, and the sheriff very cleverly
granted her request. Mrs. Hudson re-
manned with her husband to the last,
spending Tuesday night in the home
of Jailer DeBorde and going to the
train with him the next morning.
Jailer DeBorde said he never had a
better prisoner than Hudson, who,
he says he believes would have gone
to Frankfort without the company of
a sheriff if he had been given the OPP
portunity.

sTANFoRD's ANNUAL CLEANING
Is Being Given In Thorough Manner
Under Auspices of Woman's Club

A committee from the Woman's
Club has been busily engaged Thurs
day and Friday in experimenting the
cleaning up of the city. The Mayor
and Council designated these days as
special Cleanup days and several
teams were furnished for hauling off
trash and rubbish that has accumulat-
ed on back premises, in cellars, etc.,
during the past year. Committees
were assigned to different streets by
the ladies, who superintendent the
cleaning up and did fine job of it.
Special attention was paid to the
premises along the creek and some
fine work was done there. Chief of
Police B. D. Carter and his force of
hands have co-operated theoretically
with the ladies, and the indications
are that Stanford will be cleaner than
she has been in years, thanks to the
good work of these public-spirited
women.

Want o'Rear and Beckham Here.

Interest in the speeches which U. S.
Senator Beckham and Jpdge E. C.
O'Rear will make over Kentucky to
have both the republican and demo-
cratic parties take a stand for the
submission of statewide prohibition
amendment to a vote of the people is
growing all over the state according
to reports received at Frankfort. A
number of the leading temperance
workers in Lincoln county have ex-
pressed themselves as anxious that
these distinguished speakers shall be
invited to speak in Stanford and it
is probable that an urgent invitation
will be given them to do so. Both are
splendid speakers. Senator Beckham
is urging democrats to take stand
for the submission Of vote on the
question to the people and Judge
O'Rear who was the republican candi-
date for governor in 1911 is urging
temperance republicans to go to the
front and see that his party takes
similar action Neither is speaking in
the interest of any candidate.
