Wednesday, Jan. 24.-Not much OF
importance was transacted in the Senate
to-day. Some new bills were submitted
and a few motions to reconsider bills
whicii had already been acted upor, took
up the time. Most all such motions
were voted down.
THE HOUSE.
Wednesday, Jan. ~ In the House
to-day was the most lively session that
had yet been held, the first genuine FL
clustering being done. The dispute
came up over the bill providing for the
adjustment Of the State Board Of Equal
izatiun.
Those who opposed the bill knew that
they were greatly outnumbered, and
they resorted to flibustering to prevent
its coming to final vote. Many motions
to adjourn and other filibustering meas
ures were resorted to that time might b,
killed, but these we're all voted down.
At last the minority got to the end OF its
disturbing rope. and the vote on the bill
was taken, resulting in its passage by 81
to 20.
The bill pertaining t. weights and
measures was passed. One provision of
this bill is of much inter, st to the farm
er, as it provides that 6S instead Of 20
pounds of corn in the ear shall make a
bushel.
The bill prohibiting the playing of
base ball on Sunday was reported adj
versely by the committee, but it was
ordered to second reading by vote Of
~ to 81, Notwithstanding the report Of
the Committee.
Mr.. Charlton's bill for the protection
of union labor labels was reported favor
ably by the Committee.
In a joint session Mrs. Mary b. Day
was elected State Librarian over Mrs.
Georgia Shelton by vote Of % to 81.

HANCOCK POLITICS.
Not Much Stir Down That Way,
But Things Seems to Be
Democratic.
People Are Satisfied With Their
Officers and They Will Reflect
Them.

Down in Hancock county the scramble
for county offices has not yet developed
to any alarming extent. There are very
few, If any announcements as yet. There
seems to be a feeling Of general satsfac-
ton among Democrats that the present
incumbents have done their duty, made
good and efficient officers and entitled to
an endorsement if they so desire.
Judge w. w. Taber, Ben II. Poindex-
ter and Ed Kelly, the present county
officials, while they have made no pub
lie announcements, it is generally under
stood that they will stand for reelection
on the Democratic ticket and that they
will have no opposition in the primary.
They are all good men, popular with the
people and have made splendid records
in the discharge OF their official duties
Judge Tabers record as County Judge
has been especially good and his admin
istratOn of the county's financial affairs
has been the best, most economical and
conservative the county has had in a
number of years. He has saved for the
county tax payers some 81, 900 a year,
in the way OF expenses, and at the same
time kept up the general improvements,
such as good roads and bridges, so that
they are now in better condition than
they ever were before. Taxes have also
been reduced. County orders which
were selling at a discount of II to 10 per
cent. when he first went into office, are
now readily cashed at a discount OF
per cent, This state Of affairs is all due
to Mr.. Taber's splendid business qualif-
cation and to his ability to apply them to
public affairs as well as to his own private
business.
The Judge is not licensed lawyer,
but his decisions on the bench have all
been fair, and have given general salts
faction. He has a clear mind and when
it comes to dealing out justice to his fell
lowmen from the bench he endeavors to
do so impartially. If the Judge consents
to make the race for reelection, he will
have no opposition in the primary.
Ben Pondexter will be in the race for
County Clerk when the time comes, and
will have no opposition in the primary
Ben is a good officer, a clever fellow and
is universally popular with all classes
Ed Kelly has also made a splendid re-
cord as County Attorney, and if he wants
il some more, the disposition is general
that he can have ii for the asking.
The only contest yet developed before
the primary is for the Office OF sheriff.
A. n. Chambers, the present deputy, is
an announced candidate, and so is Oscar
Madden, of Lewisport. Both Of these
gentlemen are popular, sterling Demo
Gratis, and the race promises to be warm
one.
There is no talk OF a primary. The
feeling among Democrats is that IL should
be put OFF as long as possible.
Gen. Wat Hardin is the popular can
didate for Governor. He has a number
of warm, out-spoken friends inIIawesville
who will stand by him 10 the end

An Eye to Business.

The Lewis Brothers are the only citi-
zens of Cloverport who have not set
down and held their hands during the
alleged hard times waiting for something
to turn up. They have improved the
time of short business by building new
Third Street Planning Mill. The building
is large one, two stories high, and is
now almost finished. All the machinery
will be placed on the second floor, while
the first floor will be used for storing
sash, doors, blinds and finishing lumber.
There will not be another establishment
of the kind between Louisville and
Evansville as completely fitted as this,
and it is quite beneficial addition to
the industries of this little city. The
proprietors have shown good business
judgment by improving this opportune
time in preparing for the good days that
are sure to follow. Would that Glover
port contained many more such men.

In a biographical sketch in Woman IS
Progress the writer makes the following
happy commentary upon one of Phila-
delphia' S representative women: I'm the
somewhat unusual position occupied by
Mrs. Munford, being SO often brought
prominently before the public, she steers
her course with rare tact and discretion,
avoiding the shoals that SO often lie di-
rectly in her path and guiding herself
with the same courage and wisdom that
she did as a venturesome little girl
coasting down the steep, slippery hills
of her early New England home. "

/ saw Mrs. Cleveland the other night
at the 'tSindbad'' ballet and burlesque.
She had the front seat in the private
box next the stage with Mrs. Carlisle.
Mrs. Cleveland wore a well fitting
light dress with some dark ruffles. Tt
had no sheen of silk She was simply
dressed and her hair in the bead trim
ming, now worn like a low coronet or
hollow hat.
She was milk faced, like recent young
mothers, and correspondingly of full
habit She sat high WASTED in her
chair, like one tall from the hips up.
Her form and bust were those of a mar
ried woman, both exhibiting beauty
which will not again be fragile or f1exi-
bic. For time to come her place and
look will be among DANES rather than
brides Her hand, when occasionally
raised, was white and rather large. The
Junior Glevelands, if ever deserving to
feel it, will know where it is applied.
1t was demonstrative of no notable jew
elry- Her air, whiteneSS, coinpOsure,
sound enjoyment, attention and refined
restraint, neither stiff nor elusive, We're
all of common sense order. Her face,
turned to the stage, was generally in
profile, and she hardly looked at the au-
dience, which in part knew her, but
made no expression of satisfaction nor
hardly of curiosity.
No Alterations of lorgnette, fang1ass,
smelling bottle or even opera glass did
/ see. She kept her seat all the evening,
watchful of the piece. Between the acts
she talked to Mrs. Carlisle, scarcely
bending, like one young spouse to an
old one Her behavior became the presi-
dents wife, not that she knew she was
such, but in the limitations Of a natural
refinement. and she laughed without
change of position, the laughter of hui
NOR rather than fun, the appreciation Of
the eyes and an unclosing of the mouth,
but never carried away. She liked the
songs Her eyes would rove with bit
of light in each toward Mrs. Carlisle.
