FOWLER RE-
PLIES TO HEN
DERSON CLEANER
Shows he Has Complied With
Federal Law as to
Expense Account
INTEREST in REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN

HopkinSville, KY, July 26.-In-
tereSt has been aroused in the Repub
lican Congressional campaign during
the last few days, in portions of the
second district reached by papers pub
lished at Henderson and Owensboro,
alleging that Hon. VIM. T. Fowler
of Christian County had failed to
comply with the law as to the filing
of expense account within the proper
time before date Of primary. These
two newspapers of Daviess and H;E-
dsrson Counties refer to the Ken
lucky statutes knowd as the Corrupt
Practices Act and seem to suggest
that Mr.. PentecoSt has acted under
The Kentucky law, alleging that Mr..
Fowler has not and that he is there.
fore out of the race. Mr.. Fowler,
when seen today, said: "The Cor
rupt Practices Act only applies to
State, County and District offices.
Section 4 names specifically the off
GERS who shall comply with its pro-
visions. The court Of Appeals of
Kentucky have in numerous cases
declared that a Republican Congress
man is not State officer. l filed a
similar statement Of expense, ETC.,
with the Clerk Of the House of Rep
resentatives and have his acknow-
Judgement which reads Yours of re
cent date containing statement Of
election expense has this day been re.
ceived and filed Yours very truly,
South Trimble, Clerk of the House.
This acknowledgement is dated July
18th, 1916, which is within the time
fixed by Federal Statutes"
Mr.. Fowler gave out the following
letter to the editor of the Henderson
Cleaner in correction Of report that
was published in that newspaper:
Hopkinsvil'e, KY, July 20, 1916.
To the Editor Henderson Glea-
ner, Henderson, Ky.
Dear Sir: Your recent article
my opponent Hon.
f. J. PentecoSt, upon his nomination
as the republican candidate for con-
gress in this district is a little "pre
vious," arid my friends over the dis
trict, at least the more critical ones,
have kept me awake at night inquir
ing If the nomination has really been
made.
"You have unwittingly or unad
viSedly, placed an erroneous con
on what is familiayly known
as the corrupt practices act, being
chapter l3 of the acts of the general
assembly, 1916. This act is express
ly limited to state, county and dis.
trict offices, including representatives
IN our general assembly. 1t has no
relation to candidates for representa-
tives in congress The Federal sta
tute which is similar to our state law
requires statement of all expenses,
contributions, pledges, etc to be fled
with the clerk of the house of repreS
entatives. l have compiled fully
with this provision and hold the re-
ceipt of the clerk of the house to this
effect. Will you do me the justice
to print this statement; as my friends
say that congratulations will not be
IN order until the evening of August
), 1916, and after it is over, Mr..
Editor, l promise to remember you
IN my telegram of coincidence to Mr..
Pentecost.

LIGHTNING
CAUSES STOCK
BARN FIRE
Seven Mules, Hay and Other
Property of St. Bernard
Burned at Mortons
MANY PERSONS
SEVERELY SHOCKED
IN NElGRBOUHOOD

An electric storm which occurred
Just before five o'clock Tuesday af-
temoon furnished a vigorous stroke
of lightning which fired one of the
stock barns at Mortons Gap belong
ing TO the st. Bernard Mining Co.
and destroyed property valued at
about 200, partially covered by
insurance. Six mules were burned
in the building and one large mule
that was gotten out is so severely
burned that it had to be killed. Loss
included a large quantity of baled
hay just recently stored in the build
ing together with harness and sup
plies.
A number Of persons, some of
them quite distance from the build
ing, were shocked. Need Morton, a
carpenter who was at work at a build
ing a hundred yards distance, was
knocked down and stunned. Two
negro children as far away in another
direction were also knocked down.
Marion Lovan and Warren Rash who
were walking on the road toward the
mine were both partially stunned.
Rash returned to the building at once
and got some Of the mules out. Lo-
van felt the shock in his head and
the report was so sharp that he took
off his hat and felt his head TO see If
he had been shot, Lovan seems to
have a way of sticking his head
around where the lightning is going
to strike. Once before while pas ing
the Baptist Church in MortonS Gap
lightning struck the church building
and knocked shingles of on his head.
His friends figure that after these two
escapes Lovan doesn't need a light
ming rod. Henry Harris who lives a
hundred yards away from the build
ing thought somebody had fired big
gun near his house. Wyley Edwards
who was in the weigh-ofiice at the
tipple some three hundred yards
away, felt the shock and was thrown
back two or three steps as he walked
toward the door. Eye witnesses say
that the whole roof of the barn build.

flames from the lightning stroke.
Every effort was made to save the
mules but the entire loft was stored
with hay and the building was

Thirty five mules were kept in the
two barns and lot at that place, seven
Of which were lost in the fire. The
building will he rebuilt at once and
mules have already been bought to
replace those lost.
Joe Campbell, Superintendent of
forestry for the st. Bernard Com
pany, driving homeward with a
friend came near driving into this
barn for refuge from the storm, but
fortunately drove on to livery sta
bic at Mortons Gap and thus escaped |

ables and shrubs. Father SchrOener has
become recognized as one of the fore

with his limited quarters and more lin
tied means at Brooks he worked mary
els in the realm of plants. With the
support of the men who are backing the
enterprise Father Sehroener's friends
predict that the quiet little priest will
become as famous as Luther Burban'
and that he will work wonders in rose
culture which is one of his particular
hobbies. F

INDIAN TREATY LONG AGO
keokuk's Reserve on Iowa River Ced-
ed to the Government-lndians
Gave up Land in 1882. 81

The Black Hawk war of 1882 termi-
mated in a treaty by which the Sac and
Fox Indians gave up all claim to a
large section of what is now eastern
Iowa. A tract of four hundred square
miles lying along the Iowa river, how
ever, was reserved for keokuk and his
band of Indians because they had re-
manned friendly to the United States
during the Black Hawk war. The sue
ceeding four years witnessed great
rush Of settlers to eastern Iowa, and
as a result keokuk's Reserve was sur
rounded by the farms of white men
who looked with cOvetous eyes upon
the land occupied by the Indians. Ac-
cordingly treaty was made on Sept.
2S, 1886, by which Keokuk's Reserve
was given up, and Keokuk and his fol-
lowers agreed to move into the Des
Moines valley Mr.. Jacob Van der
Zee in an article prepared for publ.
cation by the State Historical Society
of Iowa, relates that when Gov. Henry
Dodge requested the Indians to move
at the appointed time, they burst into
laughter and replied:
"My father, we have to laugh-We
require no time to mOve-we have all
left the lands already and sold our
wigwams to Chemokemons white
men)-some for one hundred and some
for two hunderd dollars, before we
came to this treaty." s
