HERBERT BAILEY A GENIUS

Herbert L. Bailey, of the Bailey
Garage, this city, is genius and a
mighty good man to have in town,
as the Interior Journal has found out
on several occasions. Monday a very
delicate part of the cylinder press in
this Office broke and it looked for a
time as if not a wheel could be turn
ed until the part could be supplied
from Chicago. Mr.. Bailey was called
into consultation and in less time
than it takes to tell it, had mended
the broken part and the press was
running as usual. This paper de-
sires to commend Mr.. Bailey to
those who are in distress as we
We're for a while yesterday.

THE Use rs REskKlcrrp

The fsh and game la,&, rAssed BY
the 1918 Kentucky Legislature does
not permit SEEMING and hoop-net fish
ing Sin any Of the running streams
of the State" The compromise with
the advocates of fishing with seines
and hoop nets does not effect fishing
in any but boundary line streams
and streams within the State which
are made navigable by being i'm
proved with locks and dams. Fish
ermen who use seines or hoop nets
in other than boundary line streams
within the boundaries of Kentucky
will be violators of the law. To pro-
vide an illustration, the compromise
measure permits the use of nets in
the Ohio, or in Kentucky River, but
not in Elkhorn, or Salt River, or in
any stream which is not a naviga-
BILE stream within the meaning of the
law as set forth in Section 1 which
is as follows: "a navigable stream
within the meaning of this act is a
stream which has been improved by
locks and dams and a nonnavigable
stream is one which has not been so
improved" The law which the 1918
Legislature passed is regarded by
sportsmen as bad in that it invites
the seiners and the hoop-net fisher
men to take an inch and risks their
taking an ell. 1t is believed that it
will render the enforcement of what
remains of the fish conservation law
far more difficult than it would be
had no compromise been made, but
it does not permit taking fish by
seins or hoop nets "from any run.
ming stream" On the contrary it
forbids expressly such fishing in 9TH
err than boundary line streams or
the locked and damned streams
above the uppermost lock and dam.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS

Despairing of capturing Amiens
the Germans have launched a new
offensive from Lens to Chauny. On
a front approximately 100 miles long
they are delivering sledge-hammer
blows in hope of breaking down the
allied defenses. At places they have
made meager gains, but only after
terrible losses, being raked by a
tempest Of shells. There is whole
some respect shown by the German
General Staff for the Allied Reserve
Army, which has been drawn on but
little to meet the Teuton attack.
Scant news from Italy is taken to
indicate that an attack is not far off.
Intense efforts Co capture Amiens
having proved futile, the German Of
fensive has died down, resolving it
self into isolated engagements. Ev-
erywhere the French and British
have held their ground, and here and
lost positions. Gen. Foch, it is I'M
derstood, is biding his time, straight
ening his lines and arranging his men
for the opportunity to strike. The
kaiser, who has directed the oper-
alton on the western front, soon will
leave for Rumania.
French and British tenacity have
upset the plans of the Germans. By
the terrific losses the enemy has been
forced to suffer and the constant call
upon its reserves, the Germans have
made small commensurate gains. The
offensive is not yet spent and hard
fighting still can be expected. This
is the gist of the War Departments
review of the weeks activities on the
Western front.
Andre Tardieu, French High Com
missioner to the United States, in a
patriotic address in celebration of
the entry of America into the world
war, urged that the United States
be not too late in answering the
needs of the Allies to keep back the
Hun hordes. He predicts that 1,O00,-
900 American soldiers will be fight
ing in France by next summer.
'Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force which shall
make right the law of the world and
cast every selfish dominion down in
the dust" In these words President
Wilson accepted the challenge of
Germany tn fhisAt makes right. He
spoke at the opening of the Liberty
Loan campaign in Baltimore. The
President declared the issue was
plainly drawn between world domin-
ion as sought by the Germans and
the self-sacrifice of the Allies that
the world may be free. The conquest
of Russia he termed a cheap triumph
He declared he still would be willing
to consider a peace based on justice
and liberty.
Germans attempted raid on the
American positions near Toul, but
were driven off by artillery and ma
chine gun fire, leaving two prisoners
in the hands of the Americans.
America has a fleet of more than
$50 vessels in the war zone, accord
ing to Secretary Daniels, who opened
the Liberty Loan campaign in Cleve-
land.
The German long-range gun has
bombarded Paris. The builder of the
supercannon, manager of the Krupp
works, declares artillery so powerful
will be developed as will be able to
shell England from the Continent.

Constellation and Indigestion.

These are twin evils. Persons suf-
fering from indigestion are often
troubled with constipation. Mrs. Rob-
ert Allison, Nation, ILL.,. writes that
when she first moved to Nation she
was a great sufferer from indigestion
and constipation. Food distressed
her and there was a feeling like a
heavy weight pressing on her stom-
ach and chest. She did not rest at
night, and felt worn out a good part
of the time. One bottle of Cham
berlain's Tablets corrected this trou-
BILE so that she has since felt like a
different person.

r. l.. PORTER DIES SUDDENLY

Stanford people were both sur
prised and grieved this morning
when it was learned that Mr.. Robert
L. Porter, one of the best known
men of the town, had died during the
night. Only yesterday he was seen
on the street in his usual health and
it was hardly believable that his end
could have come so quick. Between
2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon he
went to his room and told Miss
Mary Vanoy, who has a room next
door, that he was not feeling well
and would lie down a while, saying
that if he did not get better he
would call her. 1t was not long un-
til he told her he was worse. DR..
Lewis ]. Jones was summoned and
during the afternoon and night he
called four times. About 2:30 this
morning he left the patient, telling
Miss Vanoy that he thought he was
resting nicely, but change for the
worse came and at Gas the final
summons was answered. Mr.. Porter
was rs years old and most all of his
long life had been spent in Lincoln
county, where he was known of men
and greatly admired by them all.
AS honest as days are long, as clean
as men get to be, and as gentle as
a woman, Mr.. Porter was a man
among men and a gentleman of the
old school. That he bound to him
friends as with hoops of steel is
shown in the fact that men unused
to weeping, broke down when they
visited his bier today. Eight years
ago Mr.. Porter was called upon to
give up his wife and since that time
he has made Stanford his home,
coming from his farm out on the
Lancaster pike. In latter years ne
had assisted ]. L. Beazley with his
undertaking business, and that gen.
tleman was so upset by the loss of
his friend that he was hardly able
to prepare his body for burial. 81
looked upon Mr.. Porter as father"
said Miss Mary Vanoy, as her voice
trembled with sorrow, "and | shall
miss him more than almost anyone"
she continued. Such kind express
sions are heard from many, for to
know Mr.. Porter we'll was to admire
him greatly. Only two children sur
vive the good man: Mr.. William Fl.
Porter, of this county, and Robert
Porter, OF Kell, ILL.,; and III thee' sar.
row they have the sincere sympathr
of their many friends. Since his
early youth Mr.. Porter had been a
devout member of the Christian
church and for many years he took
leading part in the work of the
congregation. The funeral will be
preached at the Christian church at
8 o'clock Wednesday afternoon and
the burial will follow in Buffalo
Springs Cemetery. DR.. H. J. Braz-
elton will be assisted in the services
by DR.. p L. Bruce. The following
gentlemen will act as honorary pail
bearers: DR.. j. F. Peyton, Messrs.
Arch McRoberts, S. H. Baughman,
]. C. Hays, j. E. Bruce, S. T. Harris;
the active ones will be Messrs. ]. H.
Baughman, W. B. Hill, J. w. Baugh-
man, w. M. Bright, E. T. Pence, Sr.,

BINGHAM TO GET $4,000, 900

On July ~, 1918, Robert Worth
Bingham, of Louisville, will receive
$5,o00,000. The golden flood, which
will represent the settlement of the
codicil Of the will of Mrs. Robert
Worth Bingham, whereby her hus-
band was left $5,000,000 outright,
represents the largest cash fortune
ever coming into the possession Of
Kentuckian, and marks the culmi-
nation of real life history as dra-
matte as any fiction ever written by
Balzac or Poe. July q marks the
end of the probate year, and expira-
ton of the period when anyone may
contest the will or the codicil. 1t is
equally certain that Kentucky will
receive the tax on the huge Flagler
estate, disposed of by Mrs. Mary Lily
Bingham, who, before her marriage
to Judge Bingham, was the widow Of
Henry M. Flagler, one of the foun-
ders of the Standard Oil Company,
and the man who linked Key West
to the mainland of Florida. It is
not yet definitely settled whether
Kentucky's share, which will more
than pay the State debt, will be ST.
500, 900 or 100000, but the huge
sum assuredly will be received by
the State.
The boy and girl romance of Judge
Bingham and Mrs. Flagler, who later
became his wife, began in the pleas
ant, tree-shaded paths of the Univer-
sity of Virginia when he was simply
"Bob" Bingham and she was Mary
Lily Kenan. But it shaded over and
on up to CHASTITY denouement engi-
neered by the Kenan family, when
the tomb of Mrs. Bingham, in quiet
Oakdale cemetery in the town of
Wilmington, where she was born and
had played as little girl, was open
ed secretly, in the dead Of night, and
ghoulish hands disinterred her body.
The elimination of Mrs. Bingham's
body, which was done in the presence
of William j. Burns, a detective en-
ployed by the Kenan family, marked
the elimination Of series of ghast-
1y episodes, which were interpreted
as meaning that the Kenan family
planned to contest the codicil where
by Judge Bingham was left $4,000
600 outright by his wife.

BORDER AUTHORITIES
BEC0MEYERy STRICT
Former South Dakota Man I'm,
able to Get Back to His
Canadian Home.

Ramona, S. D., Aug. 31.--To Judge
by the experience OF James Levee, a
former resident of this county, who
went to western Canada some years
ago, the Canadian authorities are be-
coming very strict about whom they
permit to cross the border into Cam
ada. Levee had been visiting old
scenes in South Dakota. He had be-
come q citizen of Canada. but never
theless he was refused permission to
enter Canada after completing his
Visit insSopth Dakota. He had papers
With him showing he was atcitizen OF
Canada and owned land there, but the
officers were obdurate, and he now has
returned to Lake county. He reports
that four other men and a1woman with
a child were refused readmittance Ia
Canada at the same time. No reason
was given. SE
