Il shall be a candidate for congress
DIT the coming primary. AT the presen:
moment the subject that is uppermost
IN publ, thought IS the necessity or
taking adequate steps TO protect this
country against foreign enemy. Our
differences of opinion on this subject
are mostly a matter Of degree. | seq
no occasion for a large standing army
equal TO those maintained in Europe
just before the war. AT the same time
l favor an armament adequate to pro"
tect ana guarantee the safety OF
} American lives and American property
Il favor all reasona bic steps which
can be taken to extend our commerce
ia foreign countries. This is the har-'
vest time for American commerce. am
in favor Of a tariff that will protect
American industry and that will pro-
cure for labor a scale of wages that
will sustain the present high standard
OF living.
Large Wealth a Problem.
That many Inventions Of the last
century. especially the steam engine
and the telephone and telegraph lnar
ing possible rapid communlCa ton and
transportation at low cost have fos-
tered large consolidation OF wealth in

Shenandoah. March 29.-The death
of Mrs. Catherine Lucinda Hand at
the city hospital Saturday morning has
revealed the identity Of the person
whose viii provided for the construc-
ton and maintenance of a splendidly
equipped hospital in this city. Fol
some years it has been an open secret
that such will was in existence
While the public will not know the
provisions of the will until it is pro-
bated in the near future it is an as
sured fact Mrs. Hand has provided
for such an institution and a goodly
portion OF her large estate Is to be sci
aside for that purpose. Mrs. Hand
owned 40 acres of land adjoining the
corporation Of Shenandoah on the
west as well as other property. This
generosity on her part. which was also
the wish Of her husband. Henry Hand

TRAIN STRIKES BOULDER.
Milwaukee Railroad Passengers Have
Thrilling Experience.

Milwaukee Railroad Passengers Have
Thrilling Experience.
Muscatine, March S0.-Crashing into
q huge boulder that hurtled from an
incline near Fairport directly in it's
path. fast passenger train Of the
Milwaukee railroad narrowly. escaped
serious consequences yesterday. The
train which is scheduled to arrive in
Muscatine at 706 a. m. struck the 81
gantic rock with a force that demol-
ished the "cow-catcher' and Jared
every passenger on the train. The en-
gineer and fireman were hurled from
their seats in the engine. as were
many passengers in the various
coaches. All escaped injury.
The boulder, which weighed approx
imately 500 pounds. was loosened
from its bed on Wyoming Hill just as
the passenger train neared the spot.
The engineer witnessed the falling of
the boulder and .hurriedly applied the
brakes. However. it was impossible
10 bring the train to stop before
striking it with terrific crash. the
huge stope stopping directly on the
track in front Of the engine.
With the assistance Of number OF
passengers. the train crew succeeded
in clearing the track of the massive
stone. which was little the worse for
the impact
The fact that the train was not run
ming al high rate Of speed when the
collision occurred is assigned as a
probable reason for the absence of in
Jurles. The train stopped at Fairport
as usual and had not gathered its full
speed when the mishap occurred.

only question being whether it can be

On Mr.. Carsons return he found
waiting for him an urgent inquiry for
prices on their pumps from large
jobbing concern in Bergen, Norway. II
is impossible for the Kenyon company
to consider this chance to export their
product in the face of the impossible
ity to secure enough material TO SUP
ply their rapidly increasing domestic
demand. ~

Farmers Institute August ID

Because Of the insufficient time
between the issue of The Falcon last
week and the meeting of the directors
Of the Fayette county fair aud the
Farmers Institute called for Saturday
there were but few of either body pres
ent here on that date and it was decid-
ed to postpone the meetings until a
later date. The Institute meeting will
be held on August IA, which falls on
Monday and the secretary and vice
president of that organization ask that
farmers who 6esire to go to Jackson
next month to the division institute be
here on that date. Names must te
sent to Nashville so that transportation
can be sent here for these delegates
and this will take about two weeks.
A president must be elected to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Mr..
Kyle and these delegates must be
named.
This county should have every farmer
possible go to Jackson to the division
institute and see and hear the valuable
things done and said and exhibited
there. The meeting is-held ma &ge4
auditorium at the state farm and gives
an opportunity to visit the farm.
Meet with the county institute next
Monday, August IA, at 10 a. m. if you
want to go to Jackson next month.

Circuit Court

From the records in the Office of Nj.
r. Henley. clerk of the circuit court
for this county, it is learned that at
the recent term of that court held here
the total fines assessed against law
violators were S675 and that eleven,
were sentenced to the wOrkhouse, q
total of forty-five months. Following
is list of the workhouse sentences:
Cal Blades, violating four mile law.
$50 and four months.
Walter Green, violating four mile
law. $bu and six months.
Joe Gregory, violating four mile law,
$50 and six months.
Bud Crutchfeld, violating the four
mile law, $50 and three monthe.
Jim Hiliard, procuring liquor, $25.
John Harwell, larcency, six months.
Will Russell, violating four mile law
$50 and four months.
Jesse Carpenter. violating four mile
law, $50 and six months.
Isaac Wilson, carrying knucks, $50.
Ed Williams, carrying pistol, $50 and
30 days.
Robert Blair carrying pistol, $50 and
three months.
Jim Benson, larcency. three months.
George Voss, larcency, three months.
An unsual number Of convictions and
punishments to violators of the four
mile law will be found in the above list,
but there are others who will be appre-
hended in due time. Regular dealers
in liquor in Fayette county are getting
scarcer every year, but the one who
seeks public gatherings aud other pub
lie places to ply his trade on certain
days is still in the business and officers
in every part of this county have shown
an interest in the apprehension of such,
and the sherfff's force and numerous
constables are to be commanded in
their efforts to catch offenders of that
kind. There will always be violators
of this law in every county, but with
vigilence on the part Of officers and
the assistance of the public it can be
reduced to a minimum, and this is
much to be desired.
