 Earl Bedding as Mutt appeared to have just stepped from a Bud Fisher cartoon. While he was not so good as Jeff throughout the show, he was very good, indeed. and was given great applause on every occasion. Jeff, on the other hand, was in a class by himself, and shrieks of mirth greeted his every action. Besides fitting the

The central powers are expected to find an indirect criticism in the contrast Of their offer of a conference with their enemies in their reply to the Presidents note with his statement that 'the entente powers have replied much more def- nitely'' to his suggestion. Nevertheless. it is taken to give them further oppor- tunity for discussion of peace which officials here have had every reason to heliave thav wOu1d we1corne

In Menoriam

IN sad, but loving remembrance OF
my dear brother, Howard Russel Wal
termyer, who fell asleep in Jesus TWO
years ago to-day, January 2S, 1910.
Dearest brother, l still miss you'
l still long your voice to near.
In the silent hours of midnight
Oft l shed silent tear.
Once our home was bright and happy
But grim death broke every cord,
But l have that full assurance,
You have won thy great reward
1 miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and loving care;
Our home is dark without thee,
L miss YOU everywhere.
Two years have sadly flown,
To me it's still dream.
God called him, it was His Will,
But in my heart he liveth still.
1 know it is not brave. or strong,
To let my tears so often HOW,
But one VINO lost brother IKE mlne
Can tell the pain of my sad VICE.
But some day, be it soon or late.
Beyond the silent sea,
With outstretched arms at Heavens
I know Sfe he will welcome me.
~ MRS. LAURA w. DOBBS.

Charge "Man Failure"
Caused L. & N. Wreck
Railroad Officials Find That
Dead Conductor and Flag
man Were Negligent

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 24.-"Man fail
ure" caused the disaster which cost
more than two score lives when two
Louisville e. Nashville passenger trains
came together in rear-end collision
last Thursday night at Shepherdsville,
according to a statement issued to-
night by B. NJ. Starks, general mana
ger of the Louisville e. Nashville.
In his statement. which summarizes
the findings Of board Of inquiry made
up of railroad officials, he says: THE
first negligence was the failure OF the
fagman and conductor of the traln
ahead to urotect the rear Of their train
while it was standing on the main line
at and near Shepherdsyille, and in fail
ing TO protect il while not making
schedule time before reaching Shep-
herdsyille."
The engineer of the fast train which
followed is also charged with negligence,
in that she failed to have his tram
under control as he approached Shep-
herdsville."
The fagman and conductor referred
to were killed. The engineer was one
of the inquiry witnesses. The operator
az Shepherdsyille is exonerated by the
statement, which says: "He did every
thing possible in the premises"
