Many OF the smaller cities Of the
State are asking for the Wallace cleo
ton law and this law or something
similar, with a registration feature
will probably be enacted for Hopkins
vile. The Wallace law has acted
like a charm in Louisville and when
its defects are corrected by amend
ments already proposed it will dc
about all that can be done to purify
the ballot. 1t is somewhat complica-
ted and expensive, but probably moth
ing better can be done than to extend
its workingstoH opkinsville, Henderson,
Bowling Green, Greensboro, Paducah
and other cities in the state where leg
islation is needed to insure fair cleo
tons.

T. j. Mutson, living in Lacrosse
county, Wisconsin, should be credited
with one Of the shortest courtships on
record. Last week no went to see
the sights Of Black River Falls, and
while eating dinner at one Of the
restaurants was smitten with the
waiter girl, whom he engaged in
conversation. In few minutes they
were friends, in an hour lovers, and
before shutdown were man and wife,

The KENTUcKIAN has information
that bill has been forwarded tc
Frankfort creating for tho city Of
Hopkinsville the office of Mayor
There is very little difference between
a mayor e.c o6icio and mayor de fac
to, in city where the position is moi
q salaried Office. If we had board
of seven or fourteen aldermen, elected
from various wards of the city, the
office of mayor might be created to
be filed by the Chairman of the
board. The Mayors powers might in
that event be extended SO as to make
that official police judge and let the
office of city judge be abolished
This would make the position
worth seeking and would call
out the best men in the several
wards as candidates for aldermen.
II bill is to be introduced, however,
creating the Office of mayor, its origin
ators would very likely want it to be
an elective office, SO the colored voters
could elect the mayor as they have
been electing the Council, and would
not favor such an amendment as
would embody the ideas set forth
above. Should the bill make its APP
pearance the Democrats of Hopkins
vile, who pay the bulk of the taxes
will be entitled to consideration and
can present such an amendment as
will guard the interests of the people
and save the city from the rule of the
gang who now dominate its municipal
affairs.

Mrs. Southworth Dead.

New York, Jan. Mrs. Hannah B.
Southworth, who has been buried in
the Tombs since November q, the
day she killed Stephen l.. Pettus, died
this morning at 8:15. This ends, and
ends well, some think, as dramatic and
unusual murder story as has been
told in New York for several years. 1t
possessed all the points of strong,
sensational novel. The man who was
murdered was well known even in as
great and big city as New York, and
the woman who murdered him was
beautiful and young, and some say
terribly wronged. 1t would have been
a celebrated case, a case that would
have divided the city on two sides;
but now since this morning the in
dictment against Hannah B. South
worth has been quashed by q higher
court.
As soon as relatives can be commu-
nicated with, and arrangements made,
the body will be taken to Louisville,
KY, Mrs. Southworth's birthplace.

Stocks showed more genuine strength and
acted more like real bull market than it has
at any time within the past six months. Deal
ings extended to q greater number OF stocks
than on any one day in the history of the ex-
change, yet transactions aggregated only $780,
352 shares of listed stocks and 5000 OF unlisted.
There was undoubtedly large increase in out
side buying orders, and dealings, although ag-
gregating comparatively small amount, were
very large in number. The market seems to
have cut completely loose from the stocks of
the fighting roads, and the disposition is to let
Rock Island and Others remain dull and steady.
There was less attention paid to the silver queS-
ton, though the letter of the Secretary obtained
favorable comment. The temper OF the room
this morning was most cheerful and in marked
contrast to that of the last few weeks and bro
