Tbe Lincoln Farm A*socia-
tion have purchased the old
Lincoln homestead in Hardin
county, Kentucky, where Abra-
ham Lincoln was born, as well
as the old log house that was
his birthplace, and they propose
to fix up the old farm including
the spring and log house and
will make of the farm a Lincoln
National Park. They propose
to erect a Lincoln monument
and establish a Lincoln mu-
seum. They are soliciting sub-
scriptions and are receiving
euins in amounts from 2i» cents
up. The writer has a stone
from the fireplace of the old
cabin, and one from the old
spring, presented us by Ken.
tucay friends some time ago.
BATTLESHIP ACCIDENT
The accident to the battleship
Georgia Monday of this week while
at target practice olT Prnvlncetown,
Mass , is one of the worst of It* kind
vet recorded. Tne navy ha# not
been free from serious accident# in
recent year#, and they have claimtd
more victim# many time# over than
did our naval encasements with
Spain. In 1903, April 9, a 12 inch pun
burst on the Iowa, killlnc 3 and In-
juring slijjhtly four others In 1904,
April 13, at Pensacola, the battle-
ship Missouri met with an accident
from the explosion of a ton of pow-
der that cost the lives of 23 mm. 21
being killed outright. July 5, 1905,
defective hollers on the gunboat
Bennington blew up In San Diego
bay and 03 live# were lost. January
18, 1900, premature ignition of a
charge of powder in 8 inch turret of
battleship Massachusetts, killed nine
men. April 13, 1900, an explosion of
p wder In forward turret of Kear-
b.'-gi, killed two officers and (lye en-
listed men, and three others out of
eight Injured subsequently died A
case of powder weighing over 100
pounds exploded in the after super-
imposed turret of the Georgia and
eight were killed and thirteen ser-
iously injured. They made the run
in to Boston in record breaking time
and the injured were placed In Chel-
sea hospital. Lieutenant Casper
Goodrich, son of Admiral Goodrich,
died In the hospital at 10:45 Monday
night. The other dead officers are
Midshipman Goldwaithe of Ken-
tucky, and Chief Turret Captain
Thatcher. Of the Injured several
cannot possibly recover.
Such accidents seem absolutely un
avoidable, as every precaution is
taken to prevent them, and each of
them startles the nation from one
end to another almost as much as
would a sea fight. Let the most
rigid examination lie made and If the
fault is of workmanship or seamen,
correct It so that a Blmllar one will
never happen

The Wel'Ington Monitor of this
week tells of the plucky act of the
wife of W. E. Riser, formerly of this
city. Mr. Riser is night operator
at the Santa Fe and one night this
week\ Mrs. Riser wa# awakened by
the barking of the dog and later
heard a noise that sounded like some
one trying to get Into the win
dow. She secured a double barrel
shot gun before investigating the
noise, and when she discovered some
one working on the screen, she took a
shot at him through the screen He
took the hint and with his pal, who
was evidently watching on the out-
side of the yard, hurriedly left the
premises. Mrs. Riser is being con-
gratulated upon her courage and
common sense, and if there was more
shooting and less screaming there
would be a stop put to the attempts
at robbing defenseless women.
Returns from the threshing ma-
chines are beginning to come in and
they after all are the only reliable
line on the wheat harvest. Returns
indicate yields of from 6 to 30 bush-
els per acre and the bulk of it test-
ing OO or better. The crop made a
most remarkable recovery after the
green bugs, and seme of the acreage
that was plowed up would, if left,
have made a fair crop. The North
rup 00 acres just south of town made
27 burhels per acre of plump, nice
wheat. The price, around 75 cents,
is a good first of the season price,
and with a fair crop at a good price
the wheat crop this year will be one
of the best in the past five years
Rice Brothers and J. E. Taplin are
putting spare moments on a gasoline
lauch that they expect to use on the
Cbicaskla and other local streams.
The launch is 18 feet long and the
power is from a 2 horse power .gaso-
line eugine. Mr. Taplin is doing the
wood work and Rice Brothers the
machine work, and they have made
in their shop the propeller, a mighty
pretty piece of work. They figure
that the launch will carry four to
eight men in one foot of water and
they can get along, two men, with 6
inches of water. They will use it for
pleasure trips, excursions, fishing
trips, etc., and we know they will
have all kinds of sport and recre-
ation out of their launch.
The pulpit at the Met’.odist church
was supplied last Sunday morning by
ltev. B. Freeland; that of the Chris-
tian church by Rev Z A. Harris; no
services at Presbyterian or Baptist,
and the U. B. was the only church
having the regular pastor in the pul-
pit last Sunday. Rev. Mctjuiddy of
the Christian church, and Rev. Bar-
rier of the Presbyterian church were
taking vacations, while Rev. Cole of
the Methodist church, was out of
town for the day and the Baptists
have no regular pastor.
