BIG FLOCK OF WILD DUCKS.

Sam F. Gentry, who is the best
posted man in this part of the state
on wild fowl and their habits, in
forms the l. j. that he saw this week
one of the largest flocks of ducks he
has ever seen on the acre pond on
Forestus Reid's farm on the Huston
vile pike, about two miles west of
Stanford. They completely covered
the pond. Speaking of them Mr.. Gen.
try said: "These birds are protect
ed by the federal migratory law,
which prohibits hunters from shoot
ing wild fowls in their semi-annual
migrations, and has resulted in an
extraordinary increase of wild wa
ter fowl of the most valuable spe-
cies, which includes the Mallards,
Pin-Tail, Butter Ball, Blue Bill, Black
or Dusky Mallard Ducks. Since the
enactment of this federal statute the
U. S. Biological Survey has been con-
Quoting an extended inquiry as to
it's effect. Many reports are to the
effect that the number of water fowls
observed, exceeds anything seen in
the last twenty-five years. Touching
on the aggregate value of the wild
fowls as national asset, and taking
on a basis, appraisals of Maine and
Oregon, the annual revenue from the
migratory wild fowl are for the two
states, respectively, $656,000. This
would indicate that the actual an
nual returns from this source in the
United States would be hundreds of
millions of dollars. Now if we could
stop local snip hunters from violating
this Migratory Law, we would have
ducks and ships a plenty here"

CHAUTAUoUA FOR STANFORD
Is Being Agitated by Woman's Club
With Much Success.

The Woman's Club of Stanford is
prosecuting vigorous campaign this
week, in an endeavor to secure suf-
ficient financial guarantees to hold a
Chautauqua here this coming sum-
mer. A representative of the Aka
hest Chautauqua circuit met here ear
ly this week with the members of the
club and offered them an attractive
proposition, and as is usually the case
the ladies have gone to work with a
vim. The Chautauqua will cost
something like $3.50 and the ladies
hope to be able to engage enough
tickets to insure that this sum can
be met. Presenting the matter to
the business men OF the city, they
secured signatures of about 40 who
guarantee to stand a financial re-
sponsibility of up to $40 each in the
event there should be deficit. Com
mittees are now at work soliciting
ticket sales, and are meeting with
much encouragement.
The Alkahest bureau is said to Of
fer a splendid program, among the
speakers being men like William Jen-
nings Bryan and Vice President
Thomas S. Marshall. 1t is proposed
to hold five or six days program
here and make the entertainment
worth coming miles to see each day.
There is but one organization in
Stanford that can make a Chautau-
qua here a success and that is the
Woman's Club which has the matter
in charge. These ladies have done
and are doing a great work for Stan
ford and deserve every encourage
ment from citizens of the sterner
sex.

DINING AT BRICHT'S INN
Given in Honor of w. M. Bright, ST.,
Who Lived There So Years Ago

Mr.. and Mrs. William M. Bright
gave very delightful dining at
Bright's Inn, their handsome home,
out on the Danville pike, Tuesday,
in honor of their relative, Mr.. w. M.
Bright, ST., of Normal, ILL.,, who was
their guest. Those present were boy
hood friends of Mr.. Bright and many
of them were schoolmates in the long
ago. Fifty-nine years ago the gen.
tleman who was honored, lived in the
house where the splendid dinner was
enjoyed, but left for the farther
west to make his fame and fortune.
This paper is glad to state that he
has succeeded admirably and that
today Normal has no more substan-
tial or better citizen than Mr.. Bright.
The dinner, which was a most COM
prehensive one and beautifully serv-
ed, was partaken of in the old stone
part of the building where the host
had spent many happy hours in his
boyhood, with the friends who sat
about him. Following are those who
were present: Messrs. ]. c. Hays,
George S. Carpenter, Arch A. Nc
Roberts, S. H. Baughman, Joseph
Ballou, Robert L. Porter, E. P.
Woods, John W. Rout and George P.
Bright. Those invited and who were
detained on account of illness or 9TH
erwise were: Judge James P. Bailey,
Messrs. Spears Fisher and ]. T. Hack
ley and DR.. ]. F. Peyton. Their
seats at the big table were taken by
nephews and grand-nephews of the
guest of honor.
The average age of the gentlemen
present was IA 1-2 years, which
makes the gathering probably the
oldest that has been together at a
festal board in this section for some
time.

man, and has host of friends who

LITTLE BOY IN BAD SHAPE
AS Result of Fall on Ice While Skat-
ing Last Week.

Jesse Dunn, the 12-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Owsley Dunn, north
of town, is in very serious condition
at the home of his parents, as re-
suit of fall on the ice, while skat-
ing on pond near his fathers home
a week ago from last Tuesday. The
little fellow slipped, and fell, and
the back of his head struck on a ridge
of the ice. He paid little attention
to the accident at the time, although
he was severely shaken up, and play
ed around until the Sunday following
when he began to suffer from severe
headache. Since that time, he has,
at frequent intervals suffered the
most excruciating agony, and no way
can be found to relieve his suffering
except to put him under the influ-
ence of an opiate. Physicians have
made a thorough examination of the
little fellow and are of the opinion
that some structure of the brain has
been dislocated or broken loose by
the jar received at the base of the
skull when he struck it on the rough
ice at the time of his fall. Every
thing that medical science can sug-
gest is being done for the child, and
the physicians are hopeful that the
strange injury will work out its own
cure for there seems little that they
can do for him except to relieve his
suffering as much as possible at the
time the spasmodic attacks come up
on him.

STANFORD GETS
CONVENTION
Eighth District Republicans Decide to
Meet Here February 29.-Shel-
byville Only Opponent.

The Eighth District Republican
presidential convention will be held
in Stanford, Tuesday, February 20,
at 2:30 o'clock, p. m. This was de-
cided upon at meeting of the Dis
trict Committee held in the county
court room here Thursday afternoon.
Shelbyville was the only contender
against Stanford for the honor of
entertaining the convention. The
vote was eight counties to two in
favor of Stanford At the meeting
of the convention two delegates and
two alternates will be named to the
national convention at Chicago, an
elector and a member of the State
Central Committee
The committee meeting here
Thursday was largely attended by
members and representative repub-
licans of the district, and all SEEM
ed to think that the G. o. P. has a
good chance to win this year. Out
side of the friendly contention over
the meeting place, the committee
meeting was entirely harmonious.
Col. Mike Hughes, former postmas-
ter at Shelbyville, led the fight for
the convention at Shelbyville, and
had valiant assistance from former
Postmaster Wallace, of Richmond,
and former U. S. Marshal Short, of
Madison county. When the vote
came, however, Madison divided her
80 votes evenly between the con-
tending cities, giving Is votes to
Stanford and Is to Shelbyville.
State Central Committeeman Geo.
D. Florence called the committee
meeting to order, and stated the pur-
pose of the meeting. Members of
the Stanford Commercial Club were
present and Messrs. P. Nj. McRoberts
j. C. McClary, VIM. Severance, S.
M. Saufey and City Attorney T. ].
Hill made short invitation addresses
to the committee.
James Spillman of Mercer county
moved that the convention be held
in Stanford on February 29th, the
day before the state convention at
Louisville. This was seconded by w.
c.. Cundiff, county clerk of Casey. Mr..
Hughes moved to make the place of
meeting Shelbyville and made an ex-
tended argument. Committeeman R.
l.. Dawson, of Lincoln, and Nelson d.
Rodes, of Boyle, called attention to
the fact that Lincoln county had new
err had a convention of this sort
whereas a number had been held at
Shelbyville. After Messrs. Wallace
and Short had made arguments for
Shelbyville, the vote was taken, re-
sulting as follows: for Stanford:
Boyle, Casey, Garrard, Jessamine,
Lincoln, Mercer, Spencer, and half
of Madison; for Shelbyville: Shelby
and half of Madison's vote. The
committee then adjourned.

DESIGNATION OF SABBATH
In Covington and Newport Told of In
Letters from Pastors

A lengthy circular letter has been
numerously received here from the
pastors of the Covington churches, of
which Rev. Joseph w. Hagin, former
ly of this city, is one, urging all who
are interested in preserving the Sab
bath to write to the representatives
and senators now at Frankfort to
support the Frost and Greene bills,
which are designed to close up the
Covington and Newport saloons on
Sunday. Conditions in those tow cities
have been shown to be intolerable
ever since former Attorney General
James Garrett startee the effort to
close up the groggeries there on the
sabbath. Among the things the min
listers say in their appeal are: "Cov-
ington and Newport on Sunday: Sa-
looms wide open; drunken men and
women; vile and filthy language;
reckless driving; women openly in
suited; repulsive profanity on the
streets and street cars; city and
county officials utterly fail to enforce
the law; juries fail or refuse 20 m
dict or convict violators of Sunday
closing law; Circuit Judge and Com
monwealth Attorneys express opin-
ion that juries will not act; injunc-
ton proceedings fail as a practical
remedy; remedial legislation needed
the best moral element OF northern
Kentucky asks the state will you
stand for present conditions?' Are
you with US? Tell them so, today"
Reference to this matter was made in
several Lincoln county pulpits Sun
day and the need for active coop
Grafton of all Christian, law-abiding
people of the state was fully set
forth and undoubtedly will meet with
an immediate response.

WILSON ELIGIBILITY.

We do not see why there should
have been any stir in the senate over
the discovery that President Wilson
has completely reversed himself in
the matter of the proposed child labor
law. Senator Borah was able to show
that Mr. Wilson described this legis
lation in his Constitutional Govern

ouS-y absurd extravaganza" carrying
the congressional power to regulate
commerce beyond the utmost boun
daries of reasonable and honest in

sustained, for congress to legislate
over every particular Of the indus
