new OFFICERS TO
GET Assignments
SUCCESSFUL KENTUCKY AND IN
DIANA MEN TO BE DETAILED
TO CAMP TAYLOR.

FIT. Benjamin Harrison, Ind, Aug.
15.-Within the next twenty-four
hours the successful students in the
Officers Reserve cantonment will
learn where they are to be assigned.
Gen. Glenn is to proceed immediate
/ ly to the assignment to posts of duty
of the $500 men from Indiana, Ohio,
West Virginia and Kentucky who re-
Gently received commissions.
This means that the new officers
are to be assigned to battalions and
companies in the new national army
to be modified at Louisville and
Chillicothe. Another Development
was the selection of Lieut.. Col. Gig
nilliat, former, commandment OF Gull
yer, as senior instructor to succeed
Maj Richardson.
The first training camp was to
have closed on Wednesday when the
men, according to rank, were to be
sworn in and presented with their
commissions. This ceremony has
been set aside for the new order.
The men, instead of participating in
any ceremony, will be sworn in at
once in small units.
Then they will proceed home on a
few days leave, or if Gen. Glenn or
ders, go at once to Louisville, Chilli
cothe, or to any other post to which
they may be assigned. The men ex-
pected to have twelve days leave,
but this may be shortened very ma
terially. Many will receive no leave

School is almost over for the men,

Training cantonment. All of the
boys will receive their final pay
checks before Wednesday. They
have turned in their rifles and other
equipment used in their practice.
This equipment will be used by the
next cantonment, starting August %.
The number who failed to obtain
commissions was about fifteen to each
company.

cal Court recently turned down a
proposition to submit the stock law
question to the whole County, we
believe that the Court did the proper
thing. We don't know how any in
dividual of the Court voted, nor do
we care. Nearly all of the County
has the stock law in full force and
effect, and the whole County has vot-
cd upon this question at times, by the
precinct method. There are perhaps
less than a half dozen precincts
wherein IL is lawful to let stock run
at large and these precincts have
held elections upon this question and
defeated the measure. 1t may be
possible that those desiring that the
entire County vote as a unit, have
adopted that plan to vote over the
precincts that have said they do not
want the stock law in force. If that
be true, or whether it be true or not,
If you force the vote in the whole
County, you most certainly do away
with local self government, because
the remainder of the County says to
Rosine and Select Precincts, you shall
not let your stock run at large, when
in fact 10 out of every 90 may vote
for stock running at large in these
particular Precincts. AS a matter
of course there is generally two sides
to all questions. The writer is, per-
sonally for the proposition of every
man keeping his stock in due bounds,
but he is also just as strong for the
proposition that each precinct govern
it's own affairs along this line and if
it sees fit, by a majority vote, to con-
fine the stock, do so, but having a
stock law in my precinct, fail to see
what right have in saying to Center
town or any other precinct for the
matter of that, you shall not let your
stock Craze upon your waste and Nm
inclosed lands.

WILLIAM ELDER DIES
RESULT OF ACCIDENT

Mr.. William Elder, an employe Of
the Broadway Coal Mining Co., at
Simmons, died at that place on Tues
day, at noon as a result of injuries
sustained when run over by a motor
of the Company in it's mines on last
Saturday about l o'clock, p. m. The
exact cause of the injury and accident
to Mr.. Elder can not be ascertained,
it is presumed that in his attempt to
get of OF the track on which he was
working, he, in some manner came
into contact with charged wires, the
shock throwing him to the ground.
His feet and lower limbs were badly
crushed, one of which had been am
putated. The above injuries were
perhaps the most noticeable, tho he
was evidently badly injured other
wise.
Deceased was a member OF Chest
nut Camp, 1898, W. o. W., was 33
years Of age and leaves a wife and
four small children. The remains
were taken TO Caneyville for burial
on Wednesday, that being his former
home.

There may, or there may not any
thing of tangible value or immediate
permanent good be derived from the
peace proposals of Pope Benedict, yet
the world takes hope, that in the dis
cussion certain to follow, some ray OF
light may trickle thru the war clouds,
that the rift may be widened sufficient
to let pure sunshine thru. The pro-
position coming from the source
from whence it does, is sufficient
cause for attracting attention. From

The above will be recognized as a
good likeness of Worth Tichenor, who
led in the recent contest for the Re-
publican nomination for Jailer of
Ohio County Mr.. Tichenor is a
farmer and has been all of his life.
He was reared in the Centertown COM

Mr.. Tichenor's splendid showing in
his race with the other ten good men
is evidence of the fact that he is an
exceedingly strong candidate and he
is certain to come under the wire

MORE TO BE FRARED
THAN SMALL POX

Persons suffering with tuberculos-
is are a constant menace to every
person with whom they come in con-
tact unless the greatest precautions
are taken. The disease kills nearly
a thousand times as many people as
smallpox and yet when even one per-
son is attacked by smallpox he is
rushed off to an eruptive hospital or
place of seclusion from contact with
others. The insidiousness of con-
sumption and the slow manner in
which it murders its victims have
kept it from being regarded with the
fear attached to eruptive diseases
and blinded the people to the i'm
portance of using every means to
combat it. But the light is breaking
through the constant efforts of the
State tuberculosis Commission, aid
ed by it's Executive Secretary, DR..
w. l.. Heller, at Frankfort, who is
prepared to send pamphlets treating
of the disease, its prevention and
cure. to any one who will write to
him.

Garden Stories.


Uncle Bob Her claims TO be the
champion gardener of the Rough
River Valley, says he is now grow
ing the fifth consecutive crop on the
same spot of ground, first: He grew
potatoes, then a luXuriant crop of
ordinary weeds, then crop-grass
smothered the weeds and morning
glories took the weeds and he thinks
that there are perhaps about tons
OF jimson per acre where he first
planted spuds. The last two crops
growing he says makes his place look
like regular flower garden.
By-the-way, speaking of gardens
&C., Squire Dean of Dundee was down
here last week and the Squire told
Ernest Birkhead that he had the best
garden he ever laid eyes on. Said he
had three peach trees in his garden,
one of which was full of Kentucky
Wonder and the others loaded with
butter beans. He says he pulled up
a jimson stalk the other day and
found potatoes didn't say wether
they were sweet or of the Irish varie-
ty" growing on the roots of said
jimson, as large as goose eggs.
Squire Dean further stated he had to-
matoes growing on ragweeds or rag
weeds on tomatoes, Birk was not
sure which way it was. Birkhead
claims to have investigated this gard
en- stuff of the Squire's and found
that he didn't have any garden at all,
that the thing Squire calls a garden is
a little thrown-out weed patch that
Mrs. Dean cultivated in garden truck
last year, that the potatoes and to-
matoes were volunteer plants and
that Mrs. Dean perhaps did plant
beans around the peach trees for the
reason that she could never get the
Squire to stick beans for her. Birk-
head says he further found that
Squire Dean does nothing much,

ming for magistrate and trying to

Is made Orders to this effect have
been issued by the village commission
ers to the fire department officials as
the result of a conference of the com.
mlssloners Saturday evening.
lhe village commissioners and the
hre department officials are unanimous
IN their desire to give assistance in
time of need, but they feel that the
taxpayers in the village who support
entirely the village fire department are
entitled to first consideration at all
times. In other words, if the roads are
IN very bad shape as the result of
snow, making it not only hard for ap-
paratus to get to West Brattleboro but
equally hard to get back to the village
In the event of a fire breaking out
When the apparatus is in West Brattle-
boro, the engineers are to decide
whether they will take the chance.
There is fire company in West
Brattleboro, but its equipment is a
hand engine and some hose. There is
only one hydrant in West Brattleboro
so that the sending of the cOmbina-
ton automobile truck there would
mean that only the chemical line could
be used anywhere except within range
OF the one hydrant.
One of the two steamers owned by
the village might be sent with a hose
wagon IN the case of q fire being near
where the engine could pump from the
brook. but at the best it is long hard
pull and by the time the steamer could
get TO work there would be little or no
chance of doing much towards putting
out a fire, although the steamer might
be of service in saving other property.
The village commissioners feel that
when apparatus and men are sent out
of the village for fire fighting purposes
the town should be willing to paw what
ever cost is cntailed.
The same applies to other places
which seek aid. A steamer and men
were sent to the Algiers district in
Guilford one night and the steamer
saved considerable property 1t was
left there until the next dav to pump
on the blazing ruins. Not only did the
village never receive any pay for this
service, but it was obliged to send a
fire team to the scene to bring the
steamer back. A steamer was sent to
fire on the Brook road, outside the
village limits, and the commissioners
sent a bill to the selectmen, but it
never has been paid.
The village officials have dispo-
sition to aid others in trouble, but they
feel the past experiences are not of the
sort to impress them with the idea
that their services are appreciated.
