    1. [KYCASEY-L] Newspaper from 1926 part 11
    2. The Interior Journal Established 1860 - 67th Year - No. 89 Stanford, Kentucky, Wednesday, August 25, 1926 TWO GREAT MEN DIE The week was marked by the passing of two men, great in their particular fields of labor. One was lawyer(?) C.W. Elliot, Harvard's grand ????? man and often spoken of as "America's first citizen." He was ??? years old. The other was Rudolph Valentino, probably the worlds greatest moving picture actor in his peculiar field. He was 31 years ??? and had said to his friends that he expected to die young and that he did not want to come to old age (missing line)... than 90 years of active life. His ??? "Five Foot Shelf of Books," ???? achievement of his later years, is liberal education for the man who studies it. Rudolph Valentino represented all that was best and finest in the native Italian heart and mind. From a laborer at the most menial of employments, he became a movie worker at $50 a week, later rising to stardom in those parts in which he made himself famous as a lover. When he died he left an estate of about $750,000, according to eastern newspapers. We soon shall see the spectacle of a man now dead in life on the state when Valentino's latest play, "The Son of the Shiek," is presented. But the stage will not soon see his like again, in spite of the many brilliant actors who have been enlisted by the millions spent on the movies. A HEART-BURNING HOAX During the world war the shop on with Lord Kitchener had sailed from England disappeared at sea and was never heard from afterward. A few weeks go an English newspaper man made public a statement that the general's body had been found on the coast of Norway and a coffin was duly shipped to England. When it was opened it was found to be empty and the English people generally were indignant at the hoax on such a subject. General Kitchener had won a place in the hearts of the British people everywhere as a brave and able soldier and his loss was keenly felt. The hope of recovering his body was not abandoned for a long time, long after the people had given up hope caused heart-burnings that will not soon be forgotten. The mystery of Kitchener's end may never be solved. While it has always been the general belief that the shop on which he sailed was a victim of German torpedo, not even that is certain. But England never will cease to revere his memory and the time never will come when the hearts of her people will not be stirred by the thought of him and his heroic end.
