The Frankfort Capital says; capt
Edmund II. Taylor, late Warden Of the
penitentiary, has been appointed Chief
of Police OF the Worlds Fair, and will
enter upon his duties as soon as there
is anything tangible for police to guard.
Capt. Taylor was Chief of Police at
one or two of the Louisville EXPOSE
tions, and is well adapted to the duties
of the position.
There has been no honest attempt to
find out the truth concerning the
scandalous charges against Raum. On
the contrary, there has been deliber-
ate and unconcealed purpose to pre-
vent discovery and TO shield the man.
The ugly truths revealed have slipped
out in spite of the committees effort to
prevent. There will be work for the
Fifty-second Congress to do in this
matter.-[New York World.
A few days ago a young man of
Weston, w. Va, was in the Post
Office at that place chatting with the
mail clerks when an eight-year-old
girl came in. The young man imita-
ted the growls and snarls of big dog,
pretending at the same time to quiet
the animal. He told the girl to look
out, as the animal might get loose and
|s1nRhsA to pieeeess1. She was gritty,
Ia offered him to let the dog loose,
having picked up a stick. Finding
that the dog would not come out, she
told the clerks that she had a dog at
home which could whip out the whole
crowd, dog and all. She left the
room, but returned in few minutes
with a tremendous ST. Bernard, just
as the mail arrived which was to be
distributed and made up for Buchanan.
The child and her dog corralled the
crowd, notwithstand their threats and
appeals, and kept them shut up until
the Mayor happened along and pre-
vailed upon the child to take her big
St. Bernard away. The train, which
had been waiting for the mail had
left, however, by this time, and the
citizens of Buchanan failed to get their
mail that day.
The F. NJ. B. A. in Indiana are get
ting in their work with some rather
funny features and slight war clouds
upon the horizon. 1t looks as if in
some respects the farmers were having
a crack at the world in general and
proposed to let nobody live but them
selves. In some of the river counties
Dhey have established their own stores
~ besides attending to farming, are
now running gr0ceTfes,-J.ae
shops and all kinds of cuisines, and
where they have not done this, they
are debating to the mechanics and
storekcepers just what prices shall
rule. AT one place they have COM
PEELED a poor blacksmith, who has
made only a bare living, to
come down from 81 to eighty-five
cents for shoeing horses, claiming that
he made too much Gs4lG5GTuy. Similar
been made all along the
line.
Hitherto they have been in the habit
Of letting the hucksters buy goods for
them in the cities, but they propose to
stop the practice, claiming that itcosts
hem too much. The huckstcrs used
to furnish the goods, taking produce
in trade. They have formed a COM
Dinc and hereafter will re-
fuse to trade with farmers who refuse
TO trade with them. Thus it appears

Times.
