PROMINENT farmer
FOUND DEAD AT GATE
OF NEIGHDOR TODAY
Mr.. Charles Parry Is Found Dead at
An Early Hour This Morning
Had Long Been Sufferer
OF Heart Trouble.

Mr.. Charles Parry, wealthy farmer
of the Sardis pike, was found dead at
the gate of Mr.. Richard Daugherty,
neighbor, at about 1880 this morning
by Mr., Daugherty
Mr.. Parry left his home, about a
quarter of mile from the Daughterty
farm, at about $3.50 horse back and
driving some hogs which he had sold
and was taking to the Longnecked
scales to be weighed. AT about 1880
o'clock Mr.. Daugherty noticed some
strange hogs in the large lot in front
of his home and going out Of the house
saw Mr.. Parry's horse grazing along
in front of the house He Immediately
suspected that Mr.. Parry had started
to the scales with his hogs and as Mr..
Daugherty was also to deliver some
hogs, he called to Mr.. Parry intending
to tell him to wait until he turned his
hogs out and they would drive them to
the scales together.
Mr.. Daugherty was unable to get an
answer from Mr. Parry and he walked
down to the pike to see If he could be
located. Lying just in the gate Mr.
Parrys body was found with the face
to the ground, An investigation
showed that he had been dead for some
time. A few cuts on the face made by
stones in the gateway were all the
marks that could be found on his
body. 1t is supposed that the hogs
had turned back in the pike and ii
endeavoring to drive them into the
Daugherty lot, Mr.. Parry became ex
cited and his old trouble attacked him
Ii it though that he alighted from the
horse as there is no Indication that hi
fell from the animal.

Danyille, KY, Sept. 1S.-Richard p,
Ernst, Covington, opened his campaign
for United States Senator here to-
night, attacking President Wilson's Ad-
ministration and the League of Ma
tions. He also attacked the cupidity of
the United States allies, England and
Japan.
This country, he charged, has been
placed in "a most unenviable attitude
toward those nations associated with
us during the war;" because, Ernst
said, of "a series of blunders" of
President Wilson during peace negoti-
ations.
"He could have named from the Sem
ate men who could have been Of inval-
liable service in framing of the treaty"
the speaker declared 'They doubtless
would not have made the mistakes OF
the President, but they would have
brought back a treaty which would In
al probability have long since received
the approval Of the Senate and save the
entire country and the world the en-
barrassment following the action Of
the President"
The President insisted, according to
ATr E,nat Uooo;pet tha dacfroo and
judgments of our associates in the war
that no treaty should be concluded
with Germany until there should be
included in it, and as an integral part
thereof, the Covenant of the League OF
Nations" Mr. Ernst contends that the
other nations thought the first business
Twas to conclude peace treaty with
Germany. He then pointed out the
various peace steps and declared thai
sentiment in this country against the
league grew as its many serious de-
fects" were revealed.
"But he would have the league as HI
prepared it.; in no other way would i
| be acceptable to him. The Presiden
lseemed to forget the consideration II
which the Senate was entitled and a
no time was the Senate taken into hi
confidence. At no time was the infor
nation which 1t asked furnished"
Reviewing the steps leading to re
lection of the league by the Senate, Mr.
Ernst declared that the leading mel
of England, France and Italy state,
publicly that these changes (the Sen
ate reservations were entirely accept
able, and that the United States woul
be welcomed into the league with al
Its proposed changes"

OFFICIALS FEAR
MORE BOMB PLOTS
THROUGHOUT NATION
Attorney General Palmer On the Scene
Following Discovery Of An.
archist Literature In
Mail Box.

New York, Sept. Is. - More bomb
eutrages were feared today, following
discovery of pamphlets indicating the
Anarchist Fighters" who mailed
scores of bombs to prominent citizens
in May, 1919, were responsible for the
Wall Street explosion Thursday.
Every source of the federal govern
mats detective system was thrown
into the hunt for the plotters today in
an attempt to run them down and
block further outrages, if they are con-
templated.
The investigation in New York was
in personal charge of A. Mitchell Pal
mer, attorney general, who arrived
here last night, accompanied by Fran
els P. Garvin, assistant attorney gen.
eral.
They went into immediate confer
ence with William ]. Flynn, chief Of
Justice Department operatives.
( 1t was. learned later Palmer's dash
to New York followed discovery of
anarchist pamphlets in a mail box at
Cedar and Broad streets, near the
scene of the explosion. These
pamphlets are believed to have been
placed in the mail box yesterday morn
ing, the day after the disaster.
The pamphlets said:
Remember, we will not tolerate any
longer. Free the political prisoners or
it will be sure death for all of you
American Anarchist Fighters"
These words were printed in rubber
type on paper by II inches. Some
| of the words were misspelled.
In May, 1919, when bombs were sent
| through the mail to many prominent
citizens, they were accompanied by
similar warnings. None of the "An-
archist Fighters" was captured.
| The circulars found yesterday were
addressed to number of prominent
men,. The theory that anarchists were
not responsible, but merely hastened
to claim the explosion as their handi-
work after it occurred, was discred-
tied when it was learned that some
pamphlets were put in circulation even
before the catastrophe.
While federal officials under leader
ship of Palmer and Flynn were call
ing the rolf of known anarchists, in
an effort to round up the Anarchist
( Fighters, police were centering their
efforts on running down the man who
owned the horse and wagon used to
haul the bomb to the corner Of Broad
land Wall streets.

being delighted with the thought OF the

.eated conviction among great many
people here that the town cannot afford a
hospital That while the community
can build and equip il, he up-keep of the
institution would be an entirely too heavy
burden TO place on the community.
That although there Is wealth IN plenty
here, those who could afford to pay well
for hospital service would send their
eases to larger institutions In the hlg
cities, and that this hospital would only
get the emergency cases and the patients
of small means, and that unless several
substantial endowments were secured Tor
the support OF the proposed hospital soon
after it was opened TO the public, it would
be compelled 10 go out Of existence.

You will then get a double benefit

meals, for, as a rule, the light eater. or
those who skip meals, get into bad habit,
a rut, of hermit-like isolation. Do not be
afraid of gassiness, sour stomach, heart

meals. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets arouse
