Auburndale.

LAUNDERING is very brisk about Au-
burndale notwithstanding the extreme
ly cold weather which makes the
sleighs run very heavy so that lumber
men can only have about two-thirds
average loads, although Dick Donard
came into the yard a few days ago
with load Of five logs which scaled
respectively 657, 876. TO, 500 and
404 i; total 8148, this on four mile
road with team weighing $500, but
Dick says that the great secret in
hauling big loads is to know how to
handle the lines.
Our quiet village was thrown into
quite state of confusion the other
morning. Some parties discovered
some very strange marks in the snow
not far from the depot. A crowd gath
cred and tried to decipher the mystic
rious tracks. At first sight it ap-
peared as if a number of horses had
been rolling in the snow but upon OBJ
serving more closely it appeared to
have been made by two "mysteries,
one considerably longer than the 9TH
er. The crowd for awhile was divided
in their opinions, some claiming that
there had been a dog fight while others
were of the opinion that there had
been pugilistie encounter, or a whirl-
wind; but some one picked up a
small piece of ribbon, this was a clew
but made the mystery still deeper.
We were about giving it up when the
ever alert small boy came up and said
CHOW someb ody was out riding with
his girl and upset his cutter I seen
him last night We could not learn
who the unlacky couple were, but the
next morning we saw Mr.. L. Reynolds
coming to the blacksmith shop to get
his cutter repaired, and appeared not
in mood to be interviewed, and when
asked how his cutter got broken said
he didn't know, but supposed the frost
must have cracked it, it takes strong
cutter to stand 200 below zero. He
was heard to remark that he did not
think indian ponies as general thing
made good family horses, they were
not safe.

The coroner's jury in the Apple
murder case at River Falls, found by
their verdict that Theresa Apple be-
came disabled by violent abuse and
wounds given and made by her hus-
band, Paul Apple, and from these and
subsequent exposure she came to her
death January Goth. Investigation
shows that Apple arrived home in the
evening drunk and his wife went to
the stable to assist him liz unharness-
ing the horses. While this work was
being done he attacked her with either
a pitchfork or an ox-goad and inflicted
fifteen wounds upon the woman. She
crawled toward the house through the
snow, but persisted on the way. The
prisoner was conveyed to the Ellsworth
Jail, but it required the determined
efforts of half dozen officers with
revolvers to protect the prisoner from
lynching.

The Duty Of Kentucky Papers.


1t is reported that Gen. Williams
has been over and over the State
making personal appeals to the can.
didates for the Legislature, and that
he now declares his reelection assured
Such q course would not be excusa-
bic in an aspirant for so high a posi-
ton were he qualified to fill it; and
but few of Gen. Williams best friends
will maintain thathe even approaches
the standard of qualification. He
lacks dignity on the floor of the Sen
ate. His speeches are the most
wretched fustain, full of coarseness
and had grammar. There are men in
the State who are qualified for the
position aud some one of them should
be selected to succeed him. Carlisle
is student and statesman. Will
liams is neither. Lindsay is an ex-
ceedingly able man, a hard worker, a
strong and invigorating speaker-a
man with broad mind and intelli
gent conception of the duties and dig
hity of a seat in the Senate. Mr..
Blackburn is brilliant speaker, al.
ways active and alert, and would
have influence in the Senate and out
of it. There are others who might be
named in connection with the posi-
ton as in every way worthy to fill it..
To ignore the merits of all Of them
and return Gen. Williams would be
inexcusable folly. The papers of the
State should express themselves free
ly on the subject, The matter is i'm
portant and words should not be
minced. There could be no Dosslble
danger were we assured the Legisla-
ture would reflect the wishes and in
telligence of the Democracy of Ken
lucky. But we are not assured of
that unless the newspapers give prop
Ell expression to those wishes in adj
vance, letting the members of the
Legislature know they are sent to
Frankfort to represent the interests of
their constituents, not to sacrifice
those interests to indulge personal
preference or crafty a personal ap-
peal. The Covingtou Commonwealth
the Owensboro Messenger, the Hop
kinsville Kentuckian, the Brecken-
ridge News and several other papers
have spoken on the subject in no
doubtful language. If the press
throughout the State would do like
wise the next Senator from Kentucky
would be something more than a
splutterer of bad English and an OBJ
ject of ridicule.-Louisville Post.

who offers practical scheme for
conveying ethical instruction without
reference to religious tenets and Rev.
DR.. Francis L. Patton, who maintains
that the Bible must be made the ba-
sis of all moral teaching. Henry ID.

speculation in grain, which operate
to make bread DEAR and maintains
that they should be repressed by law,
as being fiagrantly in opposition to
public policy. "Woman in Politics."

Hammond, is caustic discussion of
certain facts of nervous organization
which in his opinion render the fe-
male sex untitled for participation in
public affairs. Hon. Francis A.
Walker reviews "Henry Georges
Social Fallacies", criticizing in par
ticular his doctrines regarding land
tenure and rent. The evils resulting
from "Crude Methods of legislation,
both national and State, are pointed
out by Simon Sterne, who advocates

lative procedure which, in English
practice, have been found to serve as
an effectual barrier, both against lob
