A Daniel In judgment.

4 Russian Solomon discovered on
which side justice lay in a recent
difficult case by an ingenious expedi-
ent. In the university town of Dor
pat prosaic, plodding burgher COM
planned to the ''judge OF the peace''
THAT he had been defrauded by the
defendant Of twenty roubles" (ab0ut
ten dollars. II bought COW from
him--he is n peasant, Tour Honor, -
he exclaimed, ''and l first paid for
the animal, and then asked him to
drive it from the market-place into
my yard. This he agreed to do.
Then the scoundrel declared / had
not paid him--there were NO wit
nesses TO the transactiOn-and re-
fused to bulge until l had again paid
for the cow" After listening to the
story the judge asked the defendant
il he had received the money. OF
course he denied doing 30. ssThen, -
said the Judge, ''the1 plaintiffs 3 claim,
unsupported by witnesses or evidence
of any kind, is null and void. He
seems an honest fellow, though, and
has evidently lost his twenty roubles.
Let's make up little subscription

In stammering, the trouble nav b
said to be In the brain but there ID no

that some Of the muscles concerned
In speech act systematically. The
spasm may be in the larynx, or ii
muscles of respiration.
The difficulty very rarely occurs in
pronouncing vowels or in singing,
since singing has mainly to do with
the vowel sounds. The chief diffi-
Guilty is with consonants, especially
with the explosive consonants, b, D,
d, t, g (hard) and k.

and 1t may pass away with the cause.
Even confirmed stamerers commonly
improve after maturity.
Medical treatment is OF little avail.
The main reliance is on educational
methods. The patient must train
himself to speak with calm delibera-
tion; to keep his lungs well filed with
air; and to check himself and begin
the sentence again, instead Of strug-
CLING with the impeding letter. He
should also give much attention to
deliberate reading.

A REVOLT IN GUATEMALA.

the Regular Control Americas HOvOlu-
tlon Now In Progress.
A dispatch from the City Of Mexico says
that revolution was precipitated inv the
republic Of Guatamala which will nndOnbt-
edly become general. According to the
story the people Of Acapulco were celebrat-
ing the anniversary Of their national holt
day. President Barlllas personally ap-
pointed the orators OF the day, to which the
masses took exception, and when the ora
tors took the platform It was the signal for
q storm of stones which put them to flight.
The masses elected their own orators and
the most violent aud incendiary speeches
followed. Barillas attempted to disperse
the mob with battalion Ut infantry. but
the mob replied to the attack with stones
and revolvers and the soldiers were routed
leaving many dead and wounded on the
plaza. Only when two cannons were turned
on the plaza did the mob retire, though the
Aghting continued on the side streets. and
At the latest reports there was no decisive
result. 1t Is thought this will cause = gem
eral revolt throughout the entire republic
Of 0uatamala and enyender WAT In all the
other Central American states.

Wants the Back Differ.
enCe.

A little more than year ago there
was lively race for the nomination
for the office of constable in the
Bagdad magisterial district in
Shelby county, three candidates
being in the field, and the question
was settled by primary election.
During the canvass friend of one of
the candidates bought the vote of a
citizen Of the Jacksonville precinct
for twenty-five dollars, paying one
half down, the balance to be paid
later; but as the candidate for whom
the floater was to vote failed to re-
ceive the nomination, the purchaser
of the vote has never come to time
with the deferred payment, and now
the party who disposed of his suffrage
has brought suit in a magistrates
court to recover the balance of
twelve dollars and half due. The
case is exciting a great deal of inter-
est and when it comes to trial some
rare evidence is expected. This is
great country and it's primary
elections are wonderful to behold.

Lexington Consistency.

Lexington contended that should
the Constitutional Convention pro-
hibit the levying of tax to support
the State College in that city itwould
be violating the contract under which
the College was located there, and
succeeded in defeating the measure
upon that ground. Now she turns
around and is moving heaven and
earth to induce the same body to vio-
late contract made nearly century
ago with certain citizens of Frank
fort whereby the State agreed, in
consideration for certain lands coded
to the State, to locate the Capital
here-a contract more binding, if
anything, than the one made with
Lexington.
1t depends altogether upon whose
OK is gored, with the average Lexing-
tonian, whether solemn agreement
is be held sacred or considered of no
consequence. The "Capital OF the
Bluegrass" is jewel Of consistency.

and came flying down to the bottom,
carrying one of Mr.. Buckeyes en-
ployes, who was sitting on it, down
at rate of speed which to a light
ming express train would have done
credi: and landed him in a heap at
the bottom. He had a wonderful
escape, as he was only bruised.
The street doors were knocked from
their hinges out on the pavement,
and the stairway otherwise Uttered
up. A few dollars will cover the loss.

Going Back to Mississippi.

Rev. DIR. James M. Lewis, formerly
of this city, who has had charge OF
the Cane Run Baptist Church, in
Fayette county, for several years,
has received call to take charge ola
church in Greenville, Mississippi, and
will very probably accept the same.
At the time he was called to take
charge of the church here DR.. Lewis
had been living in Mississippi for
twenty-five years, and should he con-
clude to return to that State it will
be like going home, as the new
church is in the same section where
he formerly resided.

The Talbot Sale.

On Wednesday, March 25, will be
interesting especially to stock breed
ers, as the beautiful farm to be sold
lies but a short mile from the birth
place of the mother of Maud S, and
but a few miles from the celebrated
stables Of Longfellow, Onward and
Madrid, while the stable Of Preten-
der, on Mr.. Steve Blacks farm at the
pond is almost in sight. The Tai
bolt farm is surrounded by charmed
circle so far as horse-fesh is con-
cerned, and is suitable for laying out
a first-class trotting track. Not only
the farm but everything upon it will
be sold that day just as they are
in the advertisement.
