the registers cannot possibly know

our opinion that the count of the
eneumerators is much more likely to

guesses of the doubters. Mr.. Smith

vacant houses in the 9th district.
There are several at owlandville.

Notice to GunperS

Is now in season and farmers are
publishing notices to would be tres
passers with dog and gun to keep off
their premises. A case of this kind was
recently tried before Pennsylvania
judge who rendered decision of which
the following is part. mo man has
the right to go upon the premises of
another, whether for cunning or for
other purposes, without consent of the
owner, and every person so doing is a
trespasser. Although it is customary
for persons to enter upon the grounds
of others for the purpose of fishing
nutting and cunning, yet they have no
right to do so without the consent of
the owner. Being trespasser he must
get off the premises, if directed, and
must not stand upon his going. lie
must move off as fast as he can but he
need not run. II he refuses to go the
owner can use as much force as is
necessary to put him off, even if it
results in the death of the offender, but
you dare not use more force than is
necessary"

Whiskey in Town.

Recently in our streets have been
heard after night-fal the sound Of the
beast whose voice is unmistakeably
that of the saloon oathcs and threaten
ings, and is the insane, wild shrek
that no other animal can make and
cannot he initiated. 1t is believed to be
the work of the saloon in an effort TO
make election capital for the noble
cause of high license, enabling the
advocates of that sublime Temperance
principle to say, prohibition laws
don't prohibit; selah!" A reward Oslo
is offered by the Town Commissioners
for the information which will lead to
the detection of druggist or PLY stefan
giving unlawful prescriptions or sell
ing liquor illegally.
Our own opinion is that the liquor is
sent in from Pennsylvania for the
purpose of creating diversion in favor
Of reinstating the license law in the
county. 1t would seem like an odd
way to influence sensible people in
favor of license. by exhibiting the
beasts which whiskey is capable of
transforming men into, but this is one
of the means the saloon resorts to-
The commissioners are preparing a
lookup for the accommodation of the
beast when he is again heard, and he
will be entertained over night and in
troduced to the Justice of the Peace the
next morning.

Hamlet With Hamlet Left Out.

The reception prepared by his
congregation for the Rev. S. A.
Gayley, D. D., whose home coming
was expected on Saturday evenin 2
last, bore some resemblance to the
play of Hamlet with that hero left out
Mr.. Gayley did not come, owing
to want of foresight, possibly, in
the arrangement committee, not lav.
ing communicated in time with Mr..
Gayley, who was in New York, or
some Of his family. The good in
tention of his loving flock will be
accepted by the parson doubtless
with as full measure of love and
gratitude az though he had been in
their midst in the flesh.
A handsome souvenir had been
provided for the occasion which is
Il clock Of Irish marble, polished in
France and containing American
works, embamatic of the good Irish
stock from whom the pastor sprang,
the French polish to- represent the
classical finish which his recent tour
among the classic scenes of the I'D
world is supposed to impart to
American rawness which, however,
is altogether imaginary in the pres
ent instance; and the American
works stand for the true American
heart of the recipient of the beautiful
gift.
The non arrival of Mr.. Gayley was
a great disappointment to the large
company who assembled to welcome
their pastor, but the only real loss, as
Rev. Mr.. Marshall expressed it. was
the two speeches prepared for the
occasion which were perishable be
yond hope. The good things for the
inner man that had been boutifully
supplied were readily disposed of
without loss.
Quite good many who went to
the parsonage in carriages, learning
that Mr.. Gayley had not arrived
returned home without leaving their
carriages, and large company who
had collected at Colora and awaited
the last train, fading that he was
not present also left for home, sorely
disappointed.

Blackburn Was There.
From the Louisville Commercial

from tHe LoutSCtttS commercial
II witnessed a very laughable incident last
winter, said Frankfort man the other day.
land the moral, if there be any to the story, is
that man should know the crowd before whom
he talks ndscriminately. 1t was in the court
of appeals chamber just after the adjournment
crowd of gentlemen were sitting around, and
the chief spokesman was loquacous member
OF the Frankfort genus loafer who was not
acquainted with all present. One of the bright
est young lawyers in the state had Just stepped
out after making a speech. He mad been
drinking, and the Frankfort man said What a
mistake some fellows make in thinking they
speak better when they are half full of whisky
Now, have heard that our two senators keep
soaking full when on duty, and 1 think it a
shame
= One of them has quit quietly remarked
one OF the gentlemen present.
(which one?' was the query.
have answered Senator Blackburn and
he got up aud walked out.
The dumfounded talrative man caught his
breath and said: Well, now that was one dirty
break of mine. didn't know that Blackburn
was within a thousand miles of. here But l
don't care. have heard that Senator Black
burn drinks too much to sustain even a Ken
tuckian's reputation
Still another stranger spoke up with: We'll,

that Uncle Joe hasn't touched a drink in q year.

The Fight for the Lottery.

day of two ago the opinion was ex-
pressed in the dispatches from Baton Rouge,
La, that the Louisiana lottery people, who
are trying to get their charter extended,
would meet with defeat. Our dispatches
this morning seem to indicate that they are
confident of success. They have prepared
an amendment to the constitution of the
state which is to be introduced into the
legislature tomorrow. The terms of the
amendment are that the lottery company
shall give to the state S1,000,0Oo year for
twenty-five years for the privilege of con-
Quoting the lottery during that period, the
money to be distributed as follows: Three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to the
public schools, $780, 900 to the levees, $780,
600 to charities and pensions, and 100000
to the New Orleans drainage fund
Unless the lottery people were pretty we'll
satisfied that the legislature would submit
the amendment to the people for their ratifi-
cation or rejection they would not introduce
it at this session of the legislature They
would wait until a future session, or until a
new legislature had been elected, because a
defeat at this time would strengthen the
opposition to the lottery company.
IT the legislature should agree to submit
the amendment to the people it is pretty
certain that it would be ratified by popular
vote. The lottery people have plenty OF
money with which to make vigorous can
vass, and the bride they offer is an immense
one. The levee parishes would look at
SS50,000 a year for levees long time before
rejecting it, and those who are in favor
of improving the public schools. even if
opposed to the lottery, would not have much
to say against the amendment. The ST.
100000 is skilfully distributed SO as to catch
| all classes of voters, and when it is consid-
cred that if the amendment were submitted
to the people the lottery company would
have agents in every parish, amply furnished
with arguments, and perhaps money, the
conclusion is almost irresistible that the
amendment would be adopted.
There can be no doubt that Louisiana
would be much better off without the lot
terry. Her real friends are against it. Their
arguments are strong ones, but it does not
look as if they would prevail If the state
| was out of debt and her levees and schools
were in good condition the chances are that
the lottery people would be defeated, but
| her financial difficulties are so great that it
| is doubtful if she will have the moral
| strength to reject the bribe
