THE majority Of the most dreadful kind of wounds

made by the big shells, but they are much less

shrapnel shell contains about EGO bullets each Of
which is several times larger than the rife or ma

severe wounds than rife bullets, creating great de-
struction along their track, jagged and irregular
wounds. and producing other bad results. At the
same time fragments Of the she'll are often driven
into soldiers body. and these cause even worse
wounds than the balls.

CONGRESSMAN HARVE HELM
GETS A FINE OF FIFTY DOLLARS
In Police Court For Assault
ing A 20 Year Old Boy.

Considerable stir was caused in STAN
ford last Friday afternoon when Con-
gresham Harve Helm assaulted Stew
ard Carson, 20 year old son of w. A..
Carson. The trouble according to re-
ports seem to have originated when
young Carson learned that Congress-
man Helm was charging that some
private business ihatters of his passing
through the w. U. Telegraph office at
Stanford. with which office Carson is
connected as an employee, had become
public and when the boy heard of the
charge he called at Helms office to deny
that the matters had become public
through him or the office, and asked
Helm for the source OF the information
upon which he made the charge, this
Helm declined to give and the young
man said We'll you 60 to the party
wgo told you that and tell him that he s
d-m liar. Helm then struck the
Young man blow with his fist about
the temple which stunned him for a
time.
To warrant in the police court
charging him with assault. Helm en-
tered plea of not guilty. Upon a
trial of the case young Carson being
the only witness the defendant was
fined $4,000 and cost. In assessing the
fine the police Judge stated as a reason
tor so large fine was on account of
the defendant assaulting a minor.
Young Carson is well known and
popular in this community. being re-
lated to the Curreys. Yantis', and Day.

most prominent families in this county.

in his cell and called Justify for help
last night.
He had lost his taste for freedom
from anything but the bondage of the
iron bars that were pressing cruelty in
his sides; but the voice outside the win
dow confused the guards on duty as
to the location of the noise. Guard Un-
derwood, on duty in the wing where
Strange was confined, made his way
round until ne located the voice and
summoned assistance. 1t required three
men TO restore Strange to his cell.
In the old wing the cells are along
the wall and narrow windows look out
on the prison yard. The bars in
Strange's cell window had been bent
outward at the top years ago. Long
contemplation of their condition con-
WINGED Strange that he could squeeze
his body through the top of the win
dow. He tried it last night just after
Underwood had made an hourly round.
His head and shoulders went through
with difficulty. but the weight of his
body jammed it down into the narrow
interstice between two bars and there
he wa wedged. unable to extricate
himself.
He had made a rope of his bedding
and suspended it from the window,
which was about sixty feet up,
Strange is making two or three years
for cutting and wounding. 1t is said
he once attempted to escape from jail
at Lancaster.

The demand for Tanlac, the prepare

directing the introduction of the ia

II am. indeed, grstifed to see such
marked enthusiasm, as now feel JUS

would prove just as successful in Louis

system, besides being purified BY Tan

preparation. aside from assisting the

many other complaints that are 50
common to thousands in this section.
''Tanlac is especially valuable in
catarrhal affection of the mucous
membranes. which consider the foun-
dalton of most ailments and diseases.
People who are affected with catarrh
of the head, throat and stomach are
generally moody and depressed, with
an occasional dull headache, accumu-
lations in the nose and throat, affected
memory, and deprecated sense of
smell and taste, which finally results in
an affected hearing.

The trend of the times in the United

All readers of the newspapers are

braces the erection and maintenance

friction concerning the proposed route
through this state, one faction desiring
it to enter the state at Cincinnati and
run through the far famed Bluegrass
region. and the other wanting the
road to come by way of Louisville. In
regard to the two routes there can be
no proper comparison. as the Blue

Getting the people closer together
by enabling them to get in touch with
one another. whether on foot or by
wagon or by automobile or other means,
thru satisfactory and well maintained
highways, will be great step toward
insuring better citizenship by the bet

few enterprising citizens of Lancaster
can help to secure this highway, they
will help. but what we need is a COM

The next General Assembly that
meets in this state will be urged to
enact a law to relieve the towns and
cities from liability for damages to
individuals growing out of personal in
jury due to careless or negligents acts
of the employees and servants of the
municipalities. These vexatious law
suits which consume no small per cent
of the tax fund of the towns are most
generally without any merit.
Since the state is not liable nor are
the counties for damages for personal
injuries in such cases we see no good
reason why the Incorporated towns and
cities of the state should not be reliev-
ed of this unnecessary burden. The
constant expense of the taxpayers in
satisfying these personal injury judg-
ments or the cost incidental to resist
ing this nature of litigation could be
more beneficislly used in providing
better water and light system or better
streets.
The legislator who works out the
bill and puts it upon the statute books
to cover this condition will be entitled
to credit and we think will get it.
