SAM DAVIS ART CRITICISM is the
style in which he speaks professionally of a
work of high art mcclellan has Just
finished picture entitled "Spring," after
Cot, a noted French artist The picture
represents a young man and his girl swing
ing in the woods. The young man has no
pantaloons on, and the drapery on the young
girl is of the thinnest description. They
both sit in the same swing, she with her arms
twined lovingly around the young mans neck
Below the tender grass is starting upward
from the sod, and the trees are just beginning
to don their Spring suits. Above, two but
tertiies are flirting in the warm sunbeams.
From practical point of view one cannot
help thinking that the picture might with
propriety be called "Idle Hours" and that
the young man hight effect more advan-
tageous disposition of his time by saving
wood at s. per cord while the girl stayed at
home helping her mother. POLITICALLY and
artisticaly, however, the picture is tender
and delightful study"
A SHARP DoDGE-It is well known fact
that the greatest quantity of liquor which is
procured by the Indians in this city is sold to
them by Cinnamon. But it not generally
known how the offenders are caught. An
officer who suspects certain Celestial of sell
ing the vile compound to the Indians, goes
about to catch the offender in the following
way: There are great many of the sons of the
sagebrush here who are greatly averse to drink,
and they willingly act as decoys for the police
to entrap the Cinnamon who sell the stuff to
their bretheren. The officer who has an often
der in his minds eye, gives one of the decoys
a bottle and some small change, and sends
him to the suspected individual, the police
in his wake. The Chinaman pro-
duces the liquor, and as soon as he hands it to
the purchaser he calls for the officer, and the
fellow is nabbed. In spite of the many ar
rests that have been made under these cir
cumstances, the unlawful traffic is still carried
on by them.

4 Mans Brains Blown Out.

One day last week, in Mclean county,
Abner shot Milton Tanner who was
generally called "Mit'l with shot gun,
killing him instantly. The trouble
originated, as we learned it, about thus:
last winter Dan Abner ran of with a
young girl of the ncighborhood to he
married; "Mitn Tanner accompanied
him and aided him with his team,
money, dc. After returning, Dan
Abner was scarce of money and did not
pay "AIit" up. Abner was out hunting
one day and met Tanner, who dunned
him for the money and raised Il row
about it, and finally took the gun from
Abner and knocked him down with it.
For this he WAS indicted last January.
Last week Tanner and Dan and Silas
Abncr, his brother, met at a wheat
threshlng in the neighborhood. Tanner
raised row with the Abners and drew
his knife and ran them oil. They armed
themselves with guns and returned,
when Tanner made at them again with
his knife and was shot 10y Silas Abner,
blowing his brains out, killing him in
stantly. Tanner has been inclined To
row and fight, and has been in several
difficulties. These are the facts as we
have heard them.

Mr.. IIOcker's Record.

Mr.. Hooker has clear, good record rs
Representative, and did all he could for
the benefit of his constituents.
He INTRODUCED resolution requiring the
Committee on Ways and Means to bring
in a hill reducing the fees and salaries
of all officers of this Commonwealth.
He worked and voted for the repeal of
the odious ten per cent. interest law, and
succeeded i'm reducing it to six per cent.
in the House.
He voted for, worked for, and secured
the passage Of a id,o reducing the state
tar ) cents on the 800.
He did more TO secure the passage of
the act creating an Agricultural Bureau
than any other individual member.
He voted against every eXtravagant
or high appropriation or salary for any
officer of the House OF Representatives
and Senate.
lie Wds di,cdys at his post, and there
is hardly single vote on record i'm
which his name does not appear as vot-
ing.
These are facts, born out by the House
Journal, and are true to the letter, and
show that Mr.. Hooker stood to his
pledges. His record shows him worthy
of the endorsement of the voters of this
county.

The Quinine Tax.

Bowling Green Democrat
Hon. Jas. \. Mckenzie, of the Second
Kentucky district, has been untiring for
months past in his efforts to have re-
moved the outrageous tax on quinine,
which has for years past amounted to IA
legaliZed steal, by which monopoly has
been making immense fortunes out of
those afflicted with diseases which are
cOunteracted by this remedy. Through
out the South and West where chills
and malarial diseases prevail, this is a
very valuable and extensively used
drug. Many efforts have been made
heretofore To remove the tax, but the
mOnOpolists had always prevailed. Mr..
Mckenzie, however, suddenly sprang
he question ON last Monday, took the
enemies of the bill completely by sur
prise, had the rules suspended, and
the bill passed the House by an over
whelming vote. On Tuesday it was
passed by the Senate, and, unless
vetoed by the executive, will be-
come u law. This is an act of which Mr..
Mckenzie and his many friends may
justly feel proud. 1t is a great victory
in behalf of the people, and entities
him to the gratitude Ofthe whole cOun-
try. The poet of the Frankfort YeODsdn
graphically POLITICALLY puts it thus:
Free quinfne for the auaking SOUTH.

Is very full of pills.

a word to the COrpuIenf.

Instead of regarding obesity as an alb
normal condition, many people have En-
roneously considered it as an evidence
of health, and any agent that reduces
fat is therefore at once suspected of being
injurious. Starting to reason from the
false position that fat is an evidence of
health, it is not surprising that they
should, very naturally, fall into the error
of surprising that an agent possessing
properties capable Of reducing cOrpu-
lency would prove injurious to the
health. Reasoning, however, from the
rational basis, that an undue deposition
of fat, constituting obesity, is not a
healthy but a morbid condition, il is
quite as natural for us To arrive at the
opposite conclusion, which is sustained
by experience and observation, i. g.,
that the reduction of fat in eases of cor
pulency is invariably followed by an
improvement of strength, spirits, and
physical comforts. Allans's Anti-Fat
will reduce a fat person from to j
pounds week. Sold by druggists.

Another FalsehO0d clinched.

Ii has been whispered around re-
Gently in the region of the Coal Mines,
that Mr.. Hooker while in Legislature
tried to procure the passage of a law,
placing the bars of coal-scrccns inches
apart. This is base mean lie, made
out of the whole cloth, concoctcd for
the wicked villainous purpose of in
tluencing the miners just on the eve
of the election. There was no such
law proposed or before the Legislature
of which he was II member. lie did
however endeavor To secure the pas
sage of Il law requiring the proprietor,
of coal mines to have their mines NOR,
thoroughly ventilated. This was fol
the benefit and in the interest of tn,
mining citizen.

general welfare of Ourcommon country.
No man who knows me can truthfully
assert that | am Il renegade in any sense.
The Democracy of the whole country is
united i'm the advocacy of honest elec-
tions; no bayonet, rule no military des-
potism; no partisan marshals to over
awe the citizen and iHprison him with
out due processo the law; the enforce
ment of the law by courts and juries,
equal and exact justice to all men, and
am ut loss to understand why men,
actuated by love of country, can serious
~ differ with us, nor can | understand
why | should be characterised as rene
gade for battling for these great and es-
sential underlying principles of the lib
critics of the American people. In the
life and character of Lincoln, Sumner,
Seward Greedy and Chase, there can he
found no act or word not in harmony
with these doctrines of the Democracy,
but it remained for such patriots as
Blaine, Key, Longstreet, Mosby, Me-
Donald, Joyce, Babcock and others of
like character by their political shyster-
ing, their appeals to passion and hate to
take charge of the so called Republican
party, and by their policy and conduct
shows the very ashes of the historic and
patriot statesmen who formed the old
Republican party and gave it character.
| would have my friends who follow the
lead of these men study the history of
their country for the last quarter of a
century and see if any of the principles
or patriots of the Republican party of
1856 or 1860 can be found in the so called
Republican party of 1879? The Democ-
racy may not be infallible, yet it is now
as certainly the true friend of popular
liberty, the unity and general interests
of this country as Washington and his
com-patriots were i'm '76, and | appeal
to my friends in Kentucky, for whom
have the friendliest feelings, and whose
interests are indeed dear to me, to pause
long and consider well before arraying
themselves and casting their ballots
against the party of the people, the de-
Tenders of law, liberty and order.

l see i'm the Ohio County Ne,Us cor
respondent from ROckport, giving a de-
scription of the speaking at that place,
i'm which he says that Old Bill Coleman
mixed i'm his chin music. Yes, L was
there, and mixed in. as he says; though
| am glad that am alive. Well, now
for the speaking. DIR. Meador led in
discussion; and if | had not known him
would have thought that Old Morton
had been resurrected, or that Blaine or
Conkling had left the Senate chamber
and come to denOunce every other or
ganization but their own. DIR. MIeador
said i'm his speech what need he care if
an Appellate Judge was shot down in
the streets of the capitol, or what need
he care if negroes Were whipped in
Louisiana, shot, Quilted and thrown into
ponds, thus as / conceive branding the
entire Democratic party rs a set of cut
threats and murderers as though private
difficulties did not lead to the killing of
men i'm other than Democratic State.
Men quarrel inevery State i'm the Union,
but according to DIR. MeadOr no one but
Democrats are guilty of such violence
and outlawry. The Doctor sung for us,
"a charge to keep have" A year or
two ago negro in the town of Paradise
voted the Democratic ticket and was
kicked about the street by "a white Re
publican for so doing. Now why don't
the Doctor sing:

And ii Cade Begess don't vote our way
He must forever die"

that there We're Democrats enough in the
town of Hartford to answer indictments

be remembered on the day referred to
there was Democratic convention in

organ, as well as their standard bearer,
looks upon Democrats as set of cut
throatsand law-breakers. The majority
of Republicans do not believe any such
stuff as this, ii is only the Blaine and

The Truth Squarely Told.
Editor Herald:

Elhor Herald:
see communication i'm the NelUs
in regard to our county race, which per-
ports to be from Democrat. Now, that
letter was not written by Democrat, if
so he is Il very ignorant and washy
Democrat. He gives 6 reasons why he
can't vote for Hooker, which all may be
summed up in this way: That Hooker
ran for the Legislature as a Granger and
that he acted with the Democrats when
he was elected; and that he voted for a
salary grabber for Senator, and acted
corruptly in voting for Woodward. This
is too thin to catch any sensible man.
Hooker was IA granger; was nominated
by them, and acted with them SO far as
he could in the Legislature, he voted
for their candidate for Speaker, and
voted for every measure proposed by
them. He voted for Hon. Jas. Ii. Beck
for Senator and ii was the best vote any
man has given for Senator since the days
of Clay and Crittenden. Beck to-day
stands mt the head of the Senate, and it
is sickening to hear any Republican dis
pute it. The fact is, he is so prominent
and so great a man that they hate him.
Mr.. Hooker has the thanks of the DEM
ocrats of Kentucky and the whole
nation for assisting TO put Beck i'm the
Senate Mr.. Hooker did right i'm
voting for Woodward, for he was the
nominee of the Changers, and Wood
ward had voted for him when he was
the nominee. Does the writer mean to
intimate any disparagementst to man
because he was a Granger? The gram
gers were as respectable "A party as ever

they did much good toward a general

THIS Is all there is of the mileage bust
ness. Meador has coming from the
State $40. Hooker drew from the
State $40 too much. How are YOU,
Jim-Beck, salary-grab on-your own-ac-
count Hooker Ohio County Ncrs.
Oh, what a Misrepresentation of the
truth. DIR. J. w. Meador, in the last
session claimed miiedge for 100 miles.
4 Representative is entitled To mileage
going and returning by the route most
usually travelled. The most direct and
convenient route for DIR. Meador to 90
was to go To Spring Lick, on the z. x f..
Railroad, and take the ears the balance
of the way. As an evidence that this is
50, he did go that way to the last Legis-
lature, i'm the positive knowledge of the
writer hereof.
From DIR. Meador's residence To Spring
Lick is not exceeding 10 miles; from
Spring Lick to Louisville is - miles, and
from Louisville to Frankfort 65 miles,
total, l57 miles. Twice this is 81 miles.
He drew for 400, making a draw of SO
miles too much.
When he was caught at il, he refund
ed $500. He overdrew $3.50, refunded
S9.00, lea wing S3.90of the States money
i'm his pocket. This, mind you, was his
second time as Representative, and does
il not seem reasonable that man of
good common sense could have learned
the distance by the time he had gone
back the second time as Representative.
When he was Representative in 1873
4, he claimed and collected for 40 miles,
which is 96 miles further than the road
can he stretched out. Now if he had
aimed TO get fair mileage does IL not
than 90 miles in guessing the distance?
The amount over drawn the first session
fourteen dollars and forty cents, and
amount overdrawn last session, twelve
dollars and ninety cents; total, twenty
seven dollars and thirty cents. Credit
10y amount refunded after he got caught
iNiiiiiilS hi> iisttiu iop NCtp III tit litss9-
ury, nine dollars. Balance i'm his hands
of the peoples money, eighteen dollars
and thirty cents: When his attention
was called to the fact in the second ses-
sion that he had drawn more than right,
while refunding, why did he not refund
the whole amount overdrawn that ses-
sion, and why did he not refund the
amount overdrawn the first session.
These are all facts shown by the Au-
ditor's Report. Mr.. Hooker drew fifty
nine dollars and forty cents mileage
when he went He lives miles from
Beaver Dam. From Beaver Dam to
Louisville is los miles, from Louisville
To Frankfort 65 miles; total, l75 miles;
doubled, $50 miles. AT ID cents per
mile, fifty-two dollars and fifty cents.
Overdrawn six dollars and ninety cents.
Ii will be seen that Mr.. Hooker lives
farther from Frankfort than DIR. Meador,
and yet drew a smaller amount than DIR.
Meador did either time, though in fact
drew a little too much, but DIR. Meador
or his supporters are the last ones that
should refer to il, for Meador has, after
making that refund, about three time.

possession as Hooker has.
