No Guides to Direction Can BE Carried
within the Mammoth Cave.
Il suppose that people will laugh at
my remark. but it is true, nevertheless,
that there is one place in Kentucky
where a man is not allowed TO carry or
wear a compass" said Colonel Sam
Mattorn, Of Covington, who twirled a
peculiar watch charm in the corridors
of the Grand Pacific hotel.
Yes, it might even be a dangerous
proceeding 10 attempt To conceal n
of these magnetic guides about your
person, for if some one of the human
lynxes that are about should tumble
there might be trouble.
Maybe you mean hat compasses
are not allowed in diStilleries. =" suggested
a little dried up man., who could not
resist joining i'm.
No, sir. l have reference, sir, to
the grand and uneNcelled Mammoth
Cave, sir, the pride of all kentucky,
sir. You never heard of a man outside
of the paid guides, who are about as
uncommunicative 10 outsiders as so
many telegraph poles. carrying a com
pass into that cavern. unless lac con-
oealed it very carefully. \ compass is
a thing feared by the managers Of the
cave as much as miners fear coal damp. g"
Cant see why interrupted the lit
tie man. Suppose "a fellow were 10 90
in there and get lost. He'd want a
compass 10 find his way out.
Sir, you ought To crawl intoa stalag-
stand that the syndicate that controls
the cave does not wan "a lot of people
competing with theI Another ap-
prOachable entranc. or two would
be very likely 10 spoil their mo-
nOpoly. Were a Il II able TO take a
compass with him and a book 70 record
destinations. offsets and distances. he
could start at the mouth and survey his
route on paper.
Then TO obtain the height of the va
rious caverns would be another task
which a few assistants and some light
and geometry would make easy. Then
knowing the angles, distances, depth
and offsets, a man might start at the
mouth of the cave on the exterior Of
the earth and lay out his entire route.
when he reached the spot where
the crust wa thinnest he might set a
stake and say, Here I'll just blast an
entrance into the great su]bterranean
chamber
"A few elevators and devices for saw
ing climbing would suffice 10 attract a
number Of sight>eers, especially if the
new entrance We're more convenient
than the present one. That is why the
guides watch you 80 closely, and that
is why l was forced, bur % before
had demanded an explanation, 10 cast
aside this miniature compass which |
upon my watch chain as a charm.

lance Of the guides. Result. the perfo-

Justice Galloway Convicted.

On Monday the jury in the United
States court, sitting at Madison,
brought in verdict of guilty against
James 5. Galloway justice of the
peace, of Montfort, who was tried for
forgery. The governments evidence
against the justice of the peace went
towards proving conspiracy on the
part of Justice Galloway and Mrs.
Catherine Longmeier to procure for
the latter a pension on fraudulent
grounds. The facts are certainly in
teresting. Mrs. Catherine Longmeier's
husband, an old soldier was killed by
the premature explosion of blast near
Centerville, a rock being blown through
his head. Mrs. Longmeier desired to
get a pension and she obtained wit
nesses to swear that they knew her
husband and knew the circumstances
of his death. The afidavits were made
out by Justice Galloway and forwarded
to Washington, Galloway charging
Mrs. Longmeier 500 for the work.
The pension was allowed and the
woman obtained $1,000 back pay. The
atlldaVits recited that Longmeier came
to his death from disease contracted
IN the army. United States Pension
Agent Kingsley discovered that the
man came to his death by the violent
circumstances above noted. A report
to this effect was made to the govern
ment, an investigation was made and
the fraudulent character of the pension
aflldaVlts discovered Mrs. Longmeier
was arrested, tried on the charge of
conspiring to defraud the government
and convicted. She is serving a SEN
tence of two years in the state prison
at Waupun. The men who subscribed
to the atfidavits swore that there had
o0en AlUerliheu IN The subject matter
statements concerning the death of
Longmeier that they did not make, that
the atlidayits had been altered after
they had sworn to them and signed
them As Justice Galloway made out
The atfidavits he was arrested and
arraigned on the charge of forgery,
such being the legal designation of an
alteration of an affidavit, and was also
charged with conspiring with Mrs.
Longmeier to defraud the government
On Tuesday Judge Bum sentenced

Boots and Shoes.

If there is ought in this life that is sore to
the sight and punishment to ones entirety, il
is an out of style boot shoe that does not prop
erly fit the feet, If either too tight or too loose
it brings, we believe, more misery than aught
else to the wearer.
To obtain either a fine boot or shoe for either
SEX or age, for wear in summer, spring or fall
and at satisfactory prices, one should not fail to
call on E. ]. DAVEY, Mineral Point, Wis.
To have feet feel in manner right,
We all should have good Shoes
That brings to women much delight,
And man will meier refuse.
And best of such to e'er obtain,
To E. J. DAYEY the people go,
For prices least they there do gain,
A fact of which we know.
He has them for ladies fine wear,
For children, too as well,
And patrons oftentimes declare,
That cheaply he does sell.
For gents he, too, has very best,
Of every latest style.
And slippers fine, that stand the test,
And makes one pleasing smile.
