JeCI OF pensions was unQer discussion
with President Bill AIcWhinney in the
senate chair. The debate between John
Caughey and Carl Austin, both repub-
licans, grew quite hot. City Marshal
Cox was sitting between them when
Austin called Caughey a liar. This
when Marshal Cox promptly called
time and suppressed the fight, but it
made quite a commOtion in the senate.
Though every member Of the senate
is republican. there is much differ
ence of opinion between them as to
what legislation is needed. They ought
TO ask the democrats from Dogtown to
join them in their senate-Richmond
Independent.

Charles G. Yelm, the well-known trav-
cling salesman, he who earned the SOU
briquent Of "Sleuth" while on the police
force here, mikes good and bad luck
indiscriminately. Not so very long ago
OR q in fuhf
train at Rensselaer, and came so nearly
succeeding that he was laid up for sew
eral days to nurse some painful injuries.
This was an installment of bad luck.
Recently at Davenport, Ia, hotel clerk
gave him a. silver dollar dated 1904 in
making some change. The coin was in
excellent condition. At Chicago Yelm
found banker who was willing to pay
$3.50 for that dollar, and the small and
large amounts quickly changed hands.
The banker got a bargain even at that
figure but Charlie didn't find that fact
out until later. People who have silver
dollars coined in 1904 providing they
are well preserved, need have no fears
OF strtngency in their individual money
mart. Such coins are rare and valuable.

The Louisville Times recently con-
tained a statement calculated to do in
justice to Mr.. n. T. DePauw, manager
of the DePauw glass works. The Times
located the chestnut which has been go
ing the rounds of the press to the effect
that this and that manufacturer when
appealed to by men being discharged
from their works with the question of
where they were to get anything to eat
when they had no work, replied that
they might "eat the rooster you wore In
your hats last fall" While the Times did
not say Mr.. DePauw said that, it did
say that a glass works owner not a
thousand miles from New Albany said
it. The Times did itself no credit as a
newspaper in locating what country
newspapers call twister. and did not
act very honorably in trying to create
prejudice against a man and an enter
prise that are of material value to the
falls cities. Such conduct is reprehensi-
bic at any time, and especially so in
times like these.-New Albany Ledger.

There is great rejoicing in Helton-

has there been such widespread glad
ness. On Saturday last the people in
that neighborhood turned out zen

joicing at the quarry of the Helton-
vile oolitic stone company, where the
cause Of all this elation, the now famous
TROY marble" was first discovered,
disclosing to them the future bright
prospects Of their thriving little town.
The quarry has been operated for oolitic
limestone up to a few days since, when
w. o. Troy, the superintendent Of the
company, after going through two floors
of the common oolitic stone, discovered
a very peculiar variety Of stone which
promises to make that neighborhood

1t is of a grayish color, capable of hold
to the finest marble or granite.-Bed-

to ride the goat?" persisted the railroad

and he fed down stairs. kicking himself
at every step. And when he reached

gotten the pass word.'-Princeton Dem
