huence OF corn juice, behaved badly in Mr.
Hebls shoe shop on Ohio levee yesterday
morning. He was ordered out but refused

1t probable that Magistrate Comings
will soon announce himself as candidate
for the office of county superintendent OF
public instruction, against Mrs. p. A. Tay-
lor and Mrs.Gibbs. This explains his honor's
frequent visits to his farm. He was look
ing after the condition of his fences, you
know.
-Wickliffe Tribune; I'VE learn that a
man by the name of Watson shot young
woman named Fanny-a woman of bad
repute, living near Fort Jefferson. The
ball entered her side and lodged in the
abdomen, from the effects of which she
died Friday morning. We learn that an
inquest was held, but the verdict has not
been sent in for publication"
"A Mr.. Armstrong, who, about a year
ago, removed from this city to farm about
two miles this side of Paducah, was out IN
the neighboring woods hunting Saturday
and accidentally shot himself and died a
few minutes afterwards. A little boy who
was with him gave the alarm. Armstrong
leaves a wife and several children, it is
said.
The negro convict in the Chester peni-
Tertiary who last summer tried to murder
Charlie Dowell, had his trial recently, and
was sentenced to serve another fourteen
years in that institution. His present SEN
tence is tor fourteen years, of which he'has
nine years yet to serve. When this term
expires, his second sentence will begin; or
in other words, he now has twenty-three,
instead Of nine years, to serve.
Two Southern States North Carolina
and Arkansas have now voted on Prohi
bition, and in both of them the question
failed, by decisive majorities, to carry. In
the latter state, in September last, the vote
as first certified by the secretary of state,
stood, against license, 1904; for license,
1880. Arkansas evidently is in a field
which requires considerable temperance
cultivation yet.
A drunken tramp went down to the
wharfboats yesterday and took them for a
free public hotel. He demanded various
accommodations, among other things a
good bed. He was told that he must seek
such conveniences elsewhere, whereupon
his righteous indignation burst its bounds
and his foul tongue sent forth bitter de-
nunciation upon the heart of "the land
lor" for not providing better for his guests.
he was arrested soon after and taken to
lodgings expressly kept for such as he.

From the best we can learn those who
witness, Friday evening, Lambert & Rich
ardson's Dramatic Company in the cee-
brated play Of the Danites, will easily be
persuaded to attend the two following en-
tertainments: Bankers Daughter" matinee
Saturday afternoon, and demons" Satur-
day night. The company is really first
class, and while not so we'll known through
out Southern Illinois as many others is
entirely worthy of patronage. Hartman
has tickets on sale with reserved seats.
"A table of cotton rates from points
along the Cairo & Texas railroad to points
north and east has been prepared. The
company calls the road "The Great Cotton
Belt Route" and with good reason, for it
passes through very rich cotton country.
The company is almost daily receiving
new acquisitions of rolling stock. Yester-
day twelve new fiat cars awaited transpor-
tation from the l. G. yard here When
entirely completed, it will probably be one
of the best equipped roads IN the south
west.
