TAFTS TRIP.
President Taft's trip is in many ways a record breaker, but in nothing has it been more remarkable than in the police protection given him.

but no such wholesale arrest of innocent persons has over occured before in the United States. In general a charge of vagrancy was slated against the men, who were, in each Instance, known to be respectable and self supporting. If this is neces-

Our insane asylums, our tuberculosis hospitals and our unfortunates in general, together with our criminals are a burden scarcely unders ood by those who are not fatnilar with the state and county bu gets. The other theory of reform, advanced by the practical reformers lay stress upon the mental attitude of ourts and prison officials towar 1 the prisoner. The greatest trouble in all institutions, asylums as well as prisons, is to keep our cruelty and the retributive idea. If these can be blotted out, then the physical conditions are not important.

AN EARLY MORNING BUZE
The fire department was called, shortly after five Wednesday morn to S. Indiana street where they found the barn belonging to Joe Hammond a mass of flames. Joe went to the barn early with a lantern and surprised a rooster which flew against his lantern and overturned it, starting the fire. The top of the barn and consideable hay in the loft was burned. The shop belonging to Mr. Callendar next door was scorched but not injured. Mr Hammond states that the property is insured for enough to cover part of the damage done. The fire department made a hard fight and the fire was out and the men back in the engine house within two hours.

The bond was sign-
ed by Mike Kelly at whom she point-
ed the revolver.
The occurance of which the arrest J in the result, was in Cloverdale on Monday when Deputy Sheriff Kelly went to that town to arrest John Akers. While Kelly and .Marshal Hunter of Cloverdale, were struggling with Akers, who had tried to shoot, Mrs. AKers appeared with a revolver and pointing it at flie men. declared she would shoo:. The weapon was torn from her hand by the deputy sheriff before there was time to shoot. Today he went upon her bond rather than to seel
her go to jail.
No charge has as yet been filed [ against Mrs. Akers as an accomplice I of John Akers in the burglaries, though such action may be taken. Mrs. Aker visited her husband in the jail, and had with her little b >y of some three years. The case is a pitiful one from the standpoint of the
woman and child.
