BOMB SENT
SENATOR OVERMAN
Was So Arranged That the
Opening of the
Package
WOULD SET 1T OFF

Salisbury. May 1.--As a reward
for his activity as chairman of the
Senate committee to investigate the
activities of the International work
ers of the World a deadly bomb
was received at the Salisbury post
office last night for Senator Lee S.
Overman, now at his home in this
city The package, which cores
ponded in every way to the des-
cr1ption of many others sent this
week to promineE' politicians thru
out the country, was held, by the
postal officials until an inspector
could reach Salisbury today. 1t bore
the New York Pot mark and was
enclosed in wrapping paper bearing
the name of Gimbel Bros.
A postoffice inspector took
the bomb out in the country for
test this afternoon where it was
buried deep in tie ground and the
fuse was fired. An explosion fol-
lowed and it was found that the
bomb had been arranged SO that
in breaking the wrapper it would
be matched off.
Senator Overmap has been active
in probing the affairs of the l. w.
W. and is said to have unearthed
some startling facts in the case.
1t is presumed that this induced
the sending of the bomb.
' Speaking of the matter tonight
| Senator Overman declared that he
was sincerely thankful that the
l bomb was discovered and that il
4 did not reach his home last night
4 when two of his daughters were
married and when there was a grea
assemblage of friends of the two
brides.

BIGVICT0RY
LOAN DRIVE
To be Launched in this City on Next
Monday; Elaborate Prepara-
lions Being Made.

The Big Victory Loan Drive will
be launched in this city and through
out the United States on next Mon
day, April 21st. Extensive, prepar-
atoms are being made in this city to
encourage people to give and during
the drive Mt. Sterling will witness
many interesting war sights. On
Saturday, April Goth, the Trophy
Train will be in this city and it is
said it will be much larger and more
complete than the train which visit
ed this city during the preceding
drive. "A naval band of 80 pieces
will accompany the train. Thurs
day, May LIST, will be known as
'"Tank Day" in Mt. Sterling. On this
day we will be visited by several Of
the huge tanks which were used so
effectively during the war. The
tanks. are coming through the coun-
try under their own power, manned
by men who saw actual service. The
demonstration will probably be held
at the Fair Grounds, and it is ex-
pected an. immense crowd will be
here on this day. 1t is also quite
probable that Mt. Sterling will be
visited by squadron of aeroplanes
during the drive and a definite an
nouncement in regard to their arriv-
al will be made later.
Hon. John G. VIM will again
have charge of the local campaign
and informs us that this county's
quota has been fixed at $279,1O0,
which he feels confident will be
readily subscribed owing to the lib
eral rate of interest and short time
bonds.
Five German officers helmest
have been allotted this county and
will be offered as prizes to the work
ers securing the most applications
for Victory Loan Bonds. Let's all
put our shoulder to the wheel, do
our full duty and put Old Mont
gomery "over the top" in the final
loan drive and thereby keep up our
record of 100 per cent patriotic.

WILL FIGHT
THE TAX Law
Representatives From Several Coun-
ties Will Meet at Lexington
Today.

Representatives from the coun-
ties of Fayette, Mason, Kenton,
Bourbon, Scott and Montgomery,
will meet at the office of Judge F.
A. Bullock, at Lexington, this after
noon to discuss what action should
be taken against the State Tax Com
mission to prevent the raises it has
made in the valuations of the prop
erty in said counties for taxation,
which are looked upon by all right
thinking people as unjust and arbi-
trary. Judge E. W. Senff, Mr..
Henry R. Prewitt, Commissioner R.
G. Kern and Mr.. R. R. Whitsitt, a
member of our local Board of Tax
Supervisors, will attend the meet
ing.
In all likelihood, a test suit will
either be brought in the state courts
or in the United States Court to
test the validity of our Jesse James
Tax Law, which removes every yes
tige of local representation and
places arbitrary power in the hands
of the State Tax Commission, the
members of which know little, if
anything, about the value of the
property they are passing upon. If
nothing can be accomplished in the
courts, then a determined effort will
be made to either repeal the law at
the next session of the legislature,
or amend it out of existence.

The record LIT. Vansant has made

MT. STERLING TO BE SHOWN IN
PICTURES

Pictorial and picturesque souven-

coon, containing statistics and pho
tOs.
The Pennsylvania Printing Com
pany of Lexington has completed
arrangements for the issuing of an
illustrated souvenir book of Mt.

are now printing for the city of Lex

The souvenir of Mt. Sterling, when
completed, will contain half-tone IL
lustrations of the city's points of
interest, street scenes, churches,
schools, residences, public buildings,
leading retail houses, wholesale
houses, Industries, and the business
sections, large tobacco, oil and stock
breeding interests. There will be no

booklet.
Altogether the publication, when
completed, will be work of art,
consisting of approximately sixty
four (64) pages, printed on high
grade enamel paper, handsomely
bound in portfolio style.
A work of this character will fill
long felt want, and offer an OPP
portunity to show to the world at

growth, beauty and advantages, that
can be obtained in no other manner.
The Pennsylvania Printing Com

make the publication a representa-
tive one and worthy of our thriving
little city.

Assert Republic Already

Three, men who have been elected to
the British Parliament as members OF
the Sim Feln delegation which will not
be seated were among the speakers last
night at a demonstrative meeting held
under the auspices OF the Clan Ma Gael
in tho Central Opera House to celebrate
the Sim Fein victory. In effect the
meeting was converted into new decla-
ration OF war upon Great Britain and
served also as the means of launching
anew the campaign to have President
Wilson advocate the principle of self
determination in Ireland upon the same
basis as that principle is to be worked
out at the peace conference for the other
small nations of Europe.
The three Sim Fein victors who were
at the meeting were Gen" Liam Mel

Irish revolution of 1915. was arrested
and sentenced to be shot. He was par
