1T IS CALLED LEGAL.
So the Supreme Court Pronounces
Bergman's Imprisonment.
The District Court Alleged to Be
Entitled
To All the Records Of Probate Judge
Bergman's Office.

In the supreme court yesterday after
noon the Bergman matter was finally
settled. The opinion of the court was
delivered by Chief Justice Groesbeck, and
was very lengthy. The final decision Of
the court was to the effect that the i'm
prisonment in question was legal, and a
final order was made, demanding Berg
man to the custody ofSherif Martin.
The most interesting part of the de-
cision was the ruling of the SQUIRT upon
some sections of the new constitution.
When the constitution vent into effect,
the Office of probate Judge was, by its
terms, abolished. By the schedule, all
papers, records, etc. in the hands Of that
officer, passed at once into the possession,
constructive ,sof the district court, and
that court, having at least the construct
I've possession of these papers, had
the power to make an order
for their delivery and to punish a
disobedienee OF such an order. The court
also ruled that the offices of county
treasurer and probate Judge were
distinct offices, although the functions of
both were exercised by the same person.
The conclusion followed from these two
facts that when the constitution went into
effect Bergman ceased to be probate
judge, but was still county treasurer and
would be until his successor was elected
and had qualified according to law.
Sections II and 10 OF the schedule were
not necessarily in conflict with each other.
Section l9 evidently meant all officers
were not, by the terms of the constitution.
abolished. By this construction. what
seemed to be a conflict between the two
sections, might be evaded.
The case is therefore now in practically
the same condition it was before 1t was
brought to tho attention of the supreme
court. Judge Bergman is sentenced to
the custody Of Sheriff Martin until such
time as be purges himself of his alleged
contempt of the district court by turning
over to Judge Scott the books, papers
and proceedings OF the probate court"
Tho matter seems to still demand some
public ventilation and THE LEADER will
throw some further light upon it before it
reaches its conclusion.

THE SECRET MoURNgR.

- -
They bore him on TO his grave In the heart 81 os
busy town;
And with furtive footsteps following l watched
them lay him down;
The mourners, many and sad-though they wept
there ons and all,
The tears that fell were as nAught to mine, thai
could not fall.
We loved each other dearly, in a day that Is dis
tant now.
But something got to his ear, and he suddenly
changed somehow
A something got to his ear, l never could gathel
what
And he kept away from thence, and his love fol
me was not
1 hid my grief in my heart, and bore it as BEST l
might;
There was never darkness yet but had some TO
heving light;
And I found a balm in the thought that, although
his love was gone,
Teould follow him secretly, snd In secret stll
love on.
And this I've done through the years that have
come and gone since then
ESQ far the love OF women surpasses the love OF
mem;
I've hung on his track to the last, for I ouIy
ceased today,
And from his grave in the town 1 turned in my
woe away.
Earth now looks lone in my eyes, yet 1 am not all
cast down;
have firm faith that at last I shall somewhere
grasp Loves CROWN
That when the end shall have come, whatever
is good and true
VIII receive its just reward, aud a love like mine
its due.

The Christian County Registration
bill has been made special order fol
next Tuesday. Mr., Clark, the mem
Der from this county, will do all he
can to defeat the measure. If there is
any one thing the Republicans do not
want in this county it is fair and
honest election. The proposed bill
will purify the ballot and make re-
peating, importing and other fraudu-
lent methods of controlling elections
impossible and for this reason the Re
publicans don't want it, There is but
little doubt that the bill will pass.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inhamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

Graves county has passed the House
The Legislature re-assembled Tues
day and about the first thing done
was to pass resolution appropriating
$4,000 to the storm sufferers.
The Committee on General Statutes
got the floor Saturday and one of the
first bills passed was that making
oontz or crap playing felony.
Gov. Buckner vetoed two more
minor bills Tuesday. One of them
was an act removing the disabilities
of two would-be men in McCrackon
county and the other was an electric
light company at Lexington upon
which unusual privileges were con
ferred.
About forty bills were reported from
the General Statutes Committee Sat
urday. OF these thirty-seven passed,
one was rejected and two or three
dropped into the orders of the day,
The same committee held the floor
Tuesday and Christian county's regis
tration bill was favorably reported
and made special order for next
Tuesday.
Mr.. Clark's bill amen ding the char
ter of Hopkinsville in regard to side
walks has passed both Houses. 1t
provides that the Council may have
full authority in compelling property
owners to obey their ordinances about
putting down sidewalks. This will
cover the cases of parties on Seventh
and other streets who have defied the
city authorities for years and refused
to lay their pavements.
Among the bills that have passed
both houses and gone to the Governor
are six acts declaring the following
streams to be navigable: Bull creek
in Leslie; Greasy crock in Johnsoni
the East Fork of Goose creek in Clay
Leatherwood creek in Perry; Buffalo
creek, county not named, and Wood
cocks Branch in Henry county. The
name of the last of these navi-
gable(i) streams is very suggestive OF
some remarks made upon a certain
occasion just before flight was in
dulged in.

perpetrated a capital joke on the Re

elected Mayor of the Republican

is that the Republicans have been too

was the Mayor elected, but the entire
Democratic ticket went in by the same
majority. Peck doesn't convey the
idea. They had bushels of fun.
