GOATS As DETECTIVES.
The Hon. Maurice Barr Caught the
Robber of His Hens Nests.


ENGLISH, Nov. .-Special.-Maurice
Barr is a poultry fancier. So are several
of his neighbors. These were having
more success than Maurice, especially
those with the same strain of blood
Maurice could not account for the
double fact that he was getting no eggs
and his neighbor was busy with a
couple Of incubators on any other ny
pothess than that the the neighbor was
collecting Maurices hen fruit Maurice
had had a fine dog, but this had been
killing chickens and eating eggs. He
could not afford to keep a dog Goats
are grand invention and Maurice con-
cluded to profit by the discovery. SO he
bought a flock of four goats from a
neighbor and turned them into his barn
yard. Two of these We're billies. Last
evening Maurice was attracted to the
barnyard by the cries of his aged moth
er-in-law, whose rheumatism is so bad
she cannot walk.
He rushed TO her aid and found her
safely perched on a stump nearly four
feet high with a billy goat on each side
of her and her apron full of eggs. The
conundrum was solved. The poor old
woman never had an appetite to eat
when the others did and the cause be-
came apparent. She admitted that she
was the robber all along of the hen
fruit.

anxious crowd around the fire.
This evening another fire started in
the central portion of the city in a fiat

KENTUCKY HAS A DEMAND.
She Wants $I,5OO,OOO 10 Complete Inn
portant River improvements.

FRANKFORT, KY, Nov. 10. - The
river and harbor committee Of congress
arrived at Frankfort today at noon and
were met by the most prominent MEM
bers OF the Kentucky delegation Of the
national house and delegated citizens
and state officials. They at once pro-
ceeded on a tour OF inspection Of the
Kentucky river and Improvements there
on with a view 10 acquainting them
selves with the Importance Of this
stream as "A coal and iron feeder for the
Ohio valley. Should their investigation
prove satisfactory they will report at
the next session Of congress in favor Of
appropriating a sufficient sum of money
to finish locking and damming the river
10 its three forks, in the midst OF the
immense coal and iron deposits Of east
ern Kentucky. There are already six
locks and dams in operation and an ap-
preparation OF about one million five
hundred thousand dollars will complete
the improvements 10 the desired point.
The river and harbor committee was en-
tertained and banquetted by the city
and state officials tonight. The Ken
lucky delegation will make an earnest
and united effort to secure the neces-
sary appropriations at once. One Of
their strongest arguments will be that
Kentucky had paid into the national
treasury more money for Internal rev.
enue taxes than any other state i'm the
union, with the exception OF Illinois, and
has received less recognition at the
hands Of the general government i'm the
way Of river and harbor appropriations
than has any other state Of the union,
which are but insignificant swellers of
the national funds.
