DUNCAN SAYS HE HAD RECEIVED
NUMEROUS NIGHT RIDER'S NOTICES AND EXPECTED AN ATTACK ANY TIME.
Frankfort, Ky., May 29 The mys
tery surrounding the killing a week ago near Jacksonville, Shelby county.
of Newton Hazlett. a farmer and to
bacco grower, has been cleared up un
expectedly.
Walter Duncan, a neighbor of the
dead man, confessed in open court be
fore Circuit Judgp Marshall that he did the killing. The confession fol
lowed the returning' of an indictment
charging Duncan with the killing.
The dead body of Ilazlett was dls
covered last Friday night with two bullet holes through it and wiih a partially empty pistol clutched in his right hand and a wire clipper in his
left. The tragedy occurred near the home of Duncan. No light was at first thrown on the tragedy. It was set
down to the night rider outrages that
have been rampant in Central Ken
tucky.
The mystery was cleared up in start
ling fashion In the Shelby circuit court when Duncan confessed he killed
Hazlett, believing him to be a night
rider about to burn his tobacco barn. The confession of Duncan followed the filing of Indictments charging he and
Riley Harrod. T'.oth men were in the
court room at the time and the scene
partook of the dramatic when Duncan
arose and said he would explain the death of Ilazlett, concerning which he maintained silence for a week on advice of counsel.
Duncan said he received several let
ters threatening his property unless he agreed not to raise a crop of tobac
co this season. Thursday of last week
he received Information that his big
tobacco barn was to be burned that night. He went to the telephone to
notify friends and found the wires cut.
Taking Riley Harrod and Hubert
Keseler, with shotguns, they went on
guard at nightfall. Several times they heard horsemen on a near-by road. Finally some one approached.
Duncan says he went out to meet him and demanded his business. He couldn't recognize him in the darkness. After some altercation the man,
who proved to be Hazlett, raised his pistol and fired twice. Neither bullet took effect.
Duncan says he then emptied both barrels of a shotgun Into Hazlett, who fell dead. Duncan rejoined Kessler and Harrod, thinking a combined attack on the tobacco barn would foilow, but nothing further materialized. When the body of Hazlett was found next morning two chambers of his pistol were empty and a pair of wire cutters were in his pocket.

Makes Gains in New York Mayoralty Contest.
Shelbyvllle, Ind., May 29. While Thomas Chafee, the bill poster, was removing the trash from under an old ash box In his yard he raked out a silver dollar. Thinking that there might be more money there, he removed the box and found ?17.35 and two Cold rings, all belonging to him. Some time ago Isaac Wilson, who had been In Chafee's employ, waa arrested on the charge of stealing $25 or 30 and two rings from the Chafee home. Indicted and placed in Jail, with William Shepherd he sawed his way out and! fled the city. Sheperd was recaptured, but Wilson's whereabouts is unknown. Because he wna well acquainted with the Chafee home, Wilson was suspected of having stolen the money and rings. On the night of the robbery the key was taken from its hanging place, and after the theft the door was locked and the key returned to the nail.
New York, May 29. When the last session of the McClellan-IIearst recount trial was concluded forty-one votes had been added to Hearst's vote In the 1905 mayoralty election.

BACHELOR GIRLS ARE ON THE HUNT FOR HUSBANDS
By Herbert Kaufman A moving van came rolling down Main street the other day with a big spirited Percheron in the center and a wretched nag at his side. The Percheron was DOING ALL THE WORK and it seemed that he would have got along far better in single harness than he managed with his inferior mate RETARDING his speed. The advertiser who selects a group of newspapers usually harnesses two LAME propositions to every PULLING newspaper on his list, and just as the van driver probably dealt out an EQUAL portion of feed to each of his animals, just so many a merchant is paying practically the same rate to a WEAK daily that he is allowing the STURDY, PROFITABLE SHEET. Unfortunately the accepted custom of inserting the SAME advertisement in EVERY paper acts to the distinct disadvantage of the MERITORIOUS medium. The advertiser charges the sum total of his EXPENSE against the sum total of his RETURNS, and thereby does HIMSELF AND THE BEST PULLER AN INJUSTICE by crediting the less productive sheets with results that they have NOT earned. It's the PULLING POWER of the newspaper as well as the horse that proves its value, and if advertisers were as level headed as they should be, they would take the trouble to put every daily in which they advertise ON TRIAL for at least a month and advertise a different department or article in each, carefully tabulating the returns. If this were done fifty per cent, of the advertising now carried in weaker newspapers would be withdrawn and the patronage of the stronger sheets would ADVANCE in that proportion. THERE ARE NEWSPAPERS IN THE CITY OF RICHMOND THAT ARE, SINGLE HANDED, ABLE TO BUILD UP BUSINESSES. Their circulation is solid muscle and sinew ALL PULL. It isn't the number of copies PRINTED but the number of copies that reach the hands of buyers it isn't the number of readers with MONEY to spend it isn't the BULK of a circulation but the amount of the circulation which is AVAILABLE to the advertiser it isn't FAT but BRAWN, that tell in the long run. There are certain earmarks that indicate these strengths and weaknesses. They are as plain to the observing eye as the signs of the woods are significant to the trapper. The NEWS columns tell you what you can expect out of the ADVERTISING columns. A newspaper ALWAYS FINDS the class of readers to which it is EDITED. When its mental tone is LOW and its moral tone is CARELESS, depend upon it THE READERS MATCH THE MEDIUM. No gun can hit a target OUTSIDE of its range. No newspaper can aim its policy in ONE direction and score in ANOTHER. No advertiser can find a different class of men and women than the publisher has found for himself. He is judged by the company he keeps. IF HE LIES DOWN WITH DOGS HE WILL ARISE WITH FLEAS. (Copyright, 190S.)
LOSES HER
MIND
Rush County Girl Is in a Serious Condition Due to Bad Scare.
HORSE TRIED TO RUN AWAY
Peculiar causes are assigned for the sudden insanity of Miss Bertha Gerber of Rush county, who probably will
be brought to the Eastern Indiana hospital for the insane for treatment. As the young woman was driving to the office of a physician at Greenfield, her horse became frightened and attempted to run away. The animal plunged about until it lost its footing and fell to the road. Miss Gerber was in a serious nervous state when she arrived at the physician's office. It required eome time to quiet her and make her return home possible. The young lady suffered a similar attack last year and it is feared her temporary derangement may become permanent. On the former occasion she was thrown into a state of nervous collapse after attending a series of religious meetings. Miss Gerber is a member of the holiness sect and an ardent enthusiast. She attended a holiness school at Cincinnati.
to whom he was engaged to be married and made gossip concerning their cont nts. Mr. Havener said that he had written letters to Miss Calvin about twice a week and that he had talked freely to people at Gray's Lake regarding his prospective marriage. On cross-examination he admitted that he had discussed the conduct of his predecessor in the Congregational
pulpit at Gray's Lake and he had sal some things regarding him which h afterward retracted when he learna that they were not true. In the afternoon Miss WLitmor took the stand and entered a genera denial to all of the charges mad against her. After Miss Whitmore lei the stand. Commissioner Foote d!i missed the charges brought againi her.

Moscow, Idaho, May 29. With matrimony as their aim, fourteen young women of Moscow have organized the "Jolly Fourteen" club, and the air of mystery surrounding the organization has aroused the curiosity of many citizens, but the secret is out and the purposes of the club are known to the prying public through the loquacity of one of the members. The club has been in existence for some months, and that it has been a success is shown by the fact that two of the charter members are now married. The girls hold week ly meetings, at which they discuss their prospects and confer on ways of assisting bashful suitors, so one of the married members says, but they also impose a small fine on any member who has entertained a young man during the week preceding. Now that the secret of the club's existence Is out. thsrs is a ruh to join,
many eligible young women hitherto extremely diffident being anxious to enroll in the club. Each member is pledged to aid every club member in a search for a husband, and when one of the members marries she is required to pledge her husband to join in the still bunt for husbands. A newly married member must give a supper to which only members of the club are invited, and it was the Easter dinner given by Mrs. Lewis Kingsbury, formerly Miss Kitty Neal. that caused a leak in the club secrets. Miss Neal has pledged her husband to assist In the quest for husbands, and so has Mrs. Boyd Childers. formerly Miss Lulu Bostwick, these two men paying the penalty for depleting the club.
