MASSIE HOSPITAL CAMPAIGN
PROGRESSING NICELY

With little over half of the
amount raised, the campign for the
Massie Memorial Hospitol fund is
progressing nicely, and the indica-
lions are that the generous people
of this community will not let the
matter fall through. The response
to the call has been a very ready
one. Had not the sleet storm of
some weeks ago interfered, democrat
iEing the telephone service and rem
dering the county roads all but I'M
passible, the campaign would have
been in better shape and the fund
much larger than at present.
On account of the, high cost of
everything that plays an important
part in the maintenance of the Hos
pital. the institution is in dire need
ofSfunds this year more than ever
In, order to meet this deficiency
and to make necessary improve
ments covering a period of the next
five years public spirited citizens
have taken the matter up, and have
determined that the institution
shall be saved to Paris. We must
have a horoughly-equipped hospital
| where our sick may be taken to re-
ceive attention. The Massie Memo
| rial Hospital has become known
| throughout Central Kentucky as
| one of the best institutions of its
kind, and it will not do to let it
suffer for lack of funds The Hos
pitaI is now full and, on account OF
shortage of nurses, can not receive
any more patients. In the last few
days three nurses have gone to their
homes, Misses Cora Fisher and Pear
Reese to Henderson, N. c., and Miss
she will be married to-day.
The following is an additional list
of subscriptions to the fund since

WATCH THE CHIPS FLY WHEN
WOMEN VOTE

If women vote in Kentucky next
fall, watch the chips fly from the
old family chopping-block, outside
the Log Cabin! Miss Laura Clay
and her colleagues from Lexington,
who have been in Frankfort advo-
eating the cause of State suffrage,
are ON the war path. They do more
than hint that the Republican ad-
ministration, elected with an implied
pledge to pass State suffrage imme-
diately, and direct commitment to
the issue in a platform plank, is
trying to sidestep, due to the fact
that only two, State amendments
may be submitted at one session.
Despite agreeing to a deal to re-
port the amendment in the House
favorably from the Committee on
Constitutional Amendments, the Re-
publicans tried to recommit the res
olution when it was reported out by
Representative Will II. Beckham,
Shelby county, Democrat, and chair
man of the committee, last week.
This in spite of the fact that all
members of the committee had sign
ed the report.
Representative A. L. Hamilton,
Democrat, Fayette county, appealed
to the House to vote this motion
down, relating the facts about his
agreement, and twelve Republicans
broke away from the administration
whip and voted with the Democrats,
giving them a sufficient margin to
advance the bill to first reading.
This reputation of an agreement
did not meet with favor among the
better element of Republicans who
resent the curt giving of orders by
| the administration on every point,
especially emphasized as it is by
having to take their directions from m

WIDOW ENDS LIFE WITH SHOT
GUN,

After the other members of the
family had retired for the night,
Mrs. Elizabeth Rogers, aged fifty, a
widow, shielded Friday night at the
home of her brother, Thomas Holli-
day, on the Waller farm, near
Hutchinson, by shooting herself with
q shotgun, death ensuing instantly.
Mrs. Rogers had recently return
Cd from q Cincinnati sanitarium,
where she had been under treatment
for nervous troubles. Her brother,
Thomas Holiday had gone to Clark
county on a business mission, leav-
ing her with other members of the
family. Mrs. Rogers gave no inten-
ton of her purpose, and nothing out
OF the ordinary was observed in her
conduct. Sometime in the night she
arose and securing the shotgun be-
longing to her brother, placed a
loaded shell in it and returned to her
bed. Placing the muzZle of the gun
to her abdomen. she pulled the trig-
ger with her toe. The shot took
effect in her abdomen, ranging up
into the heart. None of the family
heard the report of the gun, and
nothing was known of the act until
saturday morning, when Mr.. Holli-
day went to his sisters room to call
her for breakfast.
Coroner Rudolph Davis was I'M
mediately notified, and going to the
Holiday home, viewed the body and
conducted an investigation. A jury
was impaneled, and after hearing
the result of the investigation, rem
dered q verdict to the effect that
Mrs. Rogers came to her death
from gunshot wounds self-inf1icted
with suicidal intent.
Mrs. Rogers was the widow o.
Chas. A. Robegs, and was a daugh-
ter of Benjamin F. and Anna
Brown Holiday, of Clark county
She is survived by her mother, Mrs.
Amanda E. Holiday; two brothers.
Thomas H. Holiday, of Bourbon
county. and Milton w. Holiday, OF
Clark county.
The body was taken to Clark
county from the undertaking estao-
lishment Of w. r. Milward, in Lex
ington, yesterday morning, to the
old family burying ground, near
winchester, where funeral services
were conducted at the grave at two
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
nall-b2arers were Ben Goodwin
