CREAM OF NEWS.
Low Licenses.


BY the action OF the City Council,
the price of City license to sell liquor
has been fixed at 1925 per annum, pay
able quarterly In advance. The State
and county license is $50 and the
government gets s25. The cost Of is-
suing is 81 so, so the total cost for
selling will be only 1902 80 year.
At this price we are sure to be over
run with countless numbers OF low
doggeries and disreputable dives,
about on par with the present "blind
tigers" Indeed the proprietors OF
these holes OF crime are almost with
out exception making their arrange
ments TO continue business, under H.
cense, at the same stands. In max
ing this possible, the City Council has
made a serious mistake. Many good
people and the better element OF
whisky men themselves believe that
high license is the proper solution OF
the liquor problem. This, II is claim.
ed, shuts out all but the more res
pectable houses and brings in the same
amount Of revenue. In Clarksville
the license is $1,000 or 81 800 and
there are only about half dozen ga
looms. Under the present ridicu-
lousy low license, Hopkinsville will
start out with not less than twenty,
many of them to be run by criminals
and persistent violstors OF the laws,
who have for years figured in the
criminal courts Of the county. The
council justifles itself by the argu-
ment that the repeal of the law meant
the old order of things and some OF
the members even consulted most oil
the prospective saloonists themselves
as to what rate would meet their APP
proval,

The play is not strong enough for
Mr.. Lindon to fully display his talent

THE LIQUOR LICENSE.
The matter of fixing the rate fol-
city licenses TO sell liquors was then
taken up. Mr.. Brown championed
the side of low license. None of them
favored high license, but Mr.. Forbes
and others favored $500. A great
deal of time was taken up in discuss.
ing the matter. A. ii. Anderson, j.
ID. Hays and others were present and
spoke for low license, representing
the liquor men. Finally Mr.. Forbes
moved as q compromise that the rate
be fixed at 800 On this Hill, Forbes
Radford and Gilliland voted aye and
Brown, Campbell and Dabney no
The question was then raised that
the ordinance was indirectly of q
penal nature and required a two.

It was agreed TO "splt the difference
between $3.50 and 800 and make the
rate 1926. This.wss agreed to by all

LIVINGSTON, April 2.-About three
weeks ago scout named Wilson and
one soldier was sent on a ten dsys'
tour through the Yellowstone Park on
snowshoes by Commandsnt Harris at
Camp Sheridan to see II there were
any poachers In the park killing game
ordefacing the formation. Three weeks
elapsed and nothing was heard from
them. The commsndaut at Camp
Sheridan, fearing that they had fallen
through the ice In the Yellowstone,
or into some extinct geyser crater
started relief party in search of them
Saturday. Sunday afternoon the
wanderers returned all right, Though
il is said they suffered severely from
cold and hunger before a place Of
shelter was reached, as they could
make but slow progress on account Of
the deep snow. A courier has been
dispatched in search Of the relief party
and will probably overtake them at
Norris Geyser basin.

Changing Their Beat.

People often wonder why policemen
are suddenly transferred from one
section Of the city, where they may
have walked beat for years, and know
every dark alley and hiding place
as well as every crook in that particu-
lar locality, TO apart of the city where
they have never been save as citizen.
At first glance it does look like an In
iudicious thing to do, but il is not.
Take a patrolman from the West End
or South End and put him down in
the heart Of the city and he's pretty
certain TO make few good captures.
West End or South End crooks feel
secure when they get away from The
locality where they are well known,
pnd the first thing you know they will
run right into your arms with all the
evidences of guilt upon them. Their
is another advantage in these changes
which believe should be more FIRE
quent, and that is that the policemen
become familiar with all sections Of
the city, and thus are rendered more
valuable in any emergency.-St Loui'

rhysie Il Culture for Ladies'.

I have been somewhat surprised
during my stay in Kansas City, TO sec
how little interest is taken by the
ladies in physical culture, which in
the larger cities of the east forms such
an important part Of girls education
nowadays. The old idea that a woman
is mans inferior physically, is pretty
well exploded since the proper sort OF
physical training has been made avail
able for women. In point of fact, I
believe the reverse is true as far as
mere strength OF muscle and limb is
concerned. In one Of my classes in
Boston, had pupil, Miss Annie Ls
Castron, who, while hardly able 10
lift a ten pound dumb bell when she
first began 10 practice, by constant
training became able TO handle heavier
weights than most men IN. In Ber-
lin another pupil of mine. Miss Bertha
Wurtmer. in a class exhibition car
ried off the first honors for all round
athletic work, winding up by defeat
ing seven contestants in a five mile
walk. There are great Possibilities for
women in such course of t. ling
