Mr.. Frank Bell, who has for thu
last two years filed so acceptably the
position of city editor of the Neu
Era, has resigned the position and
left yesterday to accept fattering
offer from the Louisville CONNER
cisl, to take charge of one of its local
news departments. The Kentuck.
ian has heretofore had occasion to
commend the tact and fitness for
newspaper work manifested by Mr.,
Bell, as we'll as his ability and cap
abilities as writer. He possesses
the qualities necessary to succeed in
the journalistic field and the Com
mercial will find him very useful
member of Its staff. He leaves Hop
kinsville with the good wishes of a
large circle of friends. His place on
the New Era will be filled by Mr.
Alfred I. Wood, brother of the
proprietor and editor of the paper.

Commonwealth Attorney Joe
Noe has been threatening to exier.
inmate Clarence Givens, of the
Owensboro Inquirer, because his pa
per dared to call spade by its right
name and haul Mr.. Noe over the Goals
for gambling and other things, tho
mention of which was offensive to
tha' official. Mr. Noe, after firing n
couple of cards at his adversary
through the Messengers columns
came to the conclusion that the pen
was not 80 mighty as the pistol and
raraded the streets of Owensboro
heavily loaded and gave II out that
he was spelling for fight. Mr.
Givens hiss continued to pour hot
shot into him and has made Noe,
preparations for war subject OF
ridicule in his paper for the last sew
eral days, but up to the present time
no blood has been spilled. At this
distanc, II looks very much like Mr..
Noe was making spectacle of him.

LEXINGTON, Nov. l0.-Col. William
Cassius Goodloe died today about !
o'clock. AS early as 10 80 Col. Good

G.. w. Hardy, President of the National
Bank OF Commerce of Hutchinson, Kan,
writes that that city, although having a
population of from $4,000 to 5000, is so
free from liquor that brawls and street
fights are not known. There is not sa-
loon in the whole place or in the county,
and cases of drunkenness are very rare.
Occasionally a "bootlegger" is caught, and
men of this class always have to pay the
full penalty of the law. The city was
founded in 1871, and the deeds all prohib-
tied tn sale of liquor.
The Voice has already printed a very
thorough account of the great change
wrought in Leavenworth, Kan, by the
prohibitory law. That city was one OF the
worst in tue State until the enforcement
Of prohibition. The following is from
the Leavenworth Times, Republican
organ which stoutly opposed the law for
years:
in Leavenworth there were over 200
saloons four years ago, and now there is
here and there joint in some dark corner
hid from light, and the owner concealing
as best he can few bottles of bad whisky
or other stuff till the police discover his
den and bring him to justice. The great
ly better condition of the laboring classes
Of this city, and the more comfortable
living which is enjoyed by their wives and
children, tell the story of the effect of the
change. The Voice.

CHICAGO, May During the display of
fireworks in the Lake Front part Tuesday
night horses at the corner of Michigan
avenue and Harrison street became unman-
ageable and plunged right and left into the
spectator. Men and women were knocked
down and trampled upon, and great
many were seriously hurt. While the vic
tins of the crush were being carried off the
field package of pyrotechnics exploded
and seriously burned q number of boys
who were lowering around the operators in
charge of the display.
There were many women hurt, who,
during the excitement attending the early
scenes of the troubles. escaped before their
names could be learned. In fact it is the
general impression along Michigan avenue
that dozen others were both burned and
injured and were carried off to their
homes in distant parts of the city. One
woman is reported to have had the cloth
ing nearly burnt from her body by an
exploding rocket.

Prohibition a Failure.

What makes you say it is? Is it be-
cause you want to have it so? You read
it in the Sentinel or Chicago Tribune, or
maybe you have met man who has been
travelling through Iowa and he reports
that any man who wants liquor can get it
in any Of the towns, and SO you accept
this testimony and conclude that prohibit
ton is failure.
Now please read the following, not
taken from partisan paper. 1t comes
from source perfectly reliable and is in
the line of testimony given by a number
of Iowa judges in another column of this
paper:
"The State Temperance Alliance re-
Gently held its 18th annual meeting in Des
Moines with good attendance Its reports
reveal many interesting facts. Eighty
three of it's ninety mine counties report
the law success. Fifty-one counties for
the year 1883 report no convictions of
crimes subject to imprisonment-that
means empty jails. State prison contrac-
tors find it difficult to find convicts suffi-
cient to fill their contracts, and have
secured the State for that purpose, as was
recently done for Mt. Pleasant Penitenti-
airy. The whole number OF convictions
for the State in 1886 was l,G45; in 1887,
1920; in 1888, about 1000, showing a
ste dy annual decrease. The population
of the State is about 2, 100000, so that the
ratio of convictions is about one for every
1000 of population.
Think of it, 81 counties in Iowa report
no convictions for crime subject to i'm
prisonment! Fifty-one empty jails!
State prison contractors can't find con-
victs enough to fill out their contracts!
How happens it? You, advocate of Ii
cense; you, enemy of prohibition, rise
and explain. A steady decrease in the
number of convicts in the State under
prohibition, while the population is in
creasing. Show us a license State OF
which this can be said. This means de-
crease of taxes, and who is not in favor of
that?
Here is another statement by resident
of the State who knows whereof he afirms:
Prohibition has come to stay, and is
working benefcently in by far the largest
part of the State. The open saloon is a
thing of the past. and a generation is
growing up who are being instructed in
the evil effects Of alcohol, and to whom
the sight of drunkard lying in gutter.
or Keeling through the streets is an un-
known experience.
Now, kind reader, cut this out, put it in
your memorandum book, and the next
man you meet who talks about the failure
of prohibition, just tell him you have got
something of interest to read to him.
