Several neighborhoods In the western
part of Anderson county, Kentucky, have
experienced mad dog scares during the past
few days. Two dogs known to have rabies
bit about 25 dogs, all of which had to be
shot by their owners. Mr.. +. &. Driskell,
of the Dugansville community, was bitten.
The dog had attacked little girl when Mr..
turned upon him and planted his teeth in
the gentleman's leg, side and back of the
neck. His brother, attracted by the screams,
knocked the dog off and then shot him.
Mr. Driskell sought mad stone at once to

stone adhered.
Rev. Duke Slavin, of Beatrice, Neb., and
his brother, known in the neighborhood of

He will take the invalid to his western
home aud make his declining years as

HAZEL GREEN, KY:
THURSDAY, April s, 1894

The announcement Of Hon. M. G..
Lisle for congress from this district APP
peared In our issue of last week. To in.
troduce him to the voters of this county
would be superfuous, as he is known
from the eastern extremity of Pike to
the western line OF Clark county, and in
every county in the district has a strong
following. Indeed, all the postmasters,
deputy collectors, etc., in the several
counties owe their appointment to him,
and their name is legion. That Mr..
l.isle has been untiring in his efforts to
secure fair share of the good things to
his friends throughout the district is
certain. Some few have doubtless been
disappointed, but he could not make
offices TO supply all with place--no man
can, and no sensible man should expect
1t. Then again, he has done much for
Eastern Kentucky at large. The Good.
night bill to divide the state into two
districts has had his support and inAu.
ence from its inception, and by his un.
tiring work it is apt to become law.
This of itself is and should be monu-
ment to his worth, and people of the
mountains especially should be grateful
to him for his effort to get a federal
court in our district. Democrats through.
out the district should carefully consider
his claims, and, believing they will do
him entire justice, we can only say that
he would appreciate an endorsement by
them of his services in congress, and if
returned he will continue to give them
his full time and attention.

EDITOR HERALD:
Dear Sir-At the request of Mrs. Eva
Baber, of Dow City, Iowa, who has many
friends and relatives that are readers Of
THE HERALD, / hand you the following
sketch concerning her, which she desires
published
Mrs. Eva Baber for many years has
been suffering with bone cancer. 1t first
manifested itself in her left hand, and
seven years ago. after great suffering, the
hand was amputated. 1t was hoped then
that her sufierings from this cause were
over. But not many months afterward
the disease again showed itself this time
on her shoulder and also on her right
limb just below the knee Joint. The
place on the shoulder got well. The
other kept growing worse and worse, so
that for years she has been great suf-
ferer. Six weeks ago she decided to have
an operation performed. DIR. Carr, OF
this city, assisted by Drs. Evans and
Wright, of Vail, performed the operation
most successfully. A large amount OF
decayed bone was removed from the
limb, the upper end of the fibula being
diseased. For weeks the suffering re.
sulting from this operation was intense
and improvement slow. At one time q
large abscess formed on the sciatica nerve
During all of her suffering, Mrs. Baber
has shown degree Of Christian patience
and fortitude that is wonderful. Her
faith has not wavered and she seems
hopeful and happy.

Rreck HilI for Congress.

The congressional race in this district
has opened in earnest. Hons. JOS. NJ
Kendall and NJ. G. Lse are as yet the
only candidates who have formally an
nounced themselves, but there are Others
in whose bonnets the congressional bee
is buzzing Justify. Judge John w. Bar.
Der, of Elliott, Mr.. Bowles, of Pike, and
our own Breck Hill are just on the
verge of precipitating themselves upon
the people. Of all the men mentioned
none would make a better congressman
or one who would bring more honor to
the district than Mr.. Hill. He stands
flat-footed on the Democratic platform,
believes in tariff for revenue onl ly and
is strongly against protected manufac.
turers for the benefit of few plutocratiC
mill owners. He is a fluent and polished
speaker, thoroughly posted on all the
questions of the hour, and a gentleman
to whom his constituents from one end
of the district to the other may point
with pride and say, "Here il our con.
gressman." But Mr.. Hill has not an
nounced himself, and it is not probuble
that he will. However, if the numinat-
ing convention gets tangled up on the
selection of candidate from the list of
names before them, they could do no
better than to put the name of G. b.
Hill, of the county of Lee, before the
Democrats of the district as their candi-
date for Observation-Disclosures En-
terprise.

Congregational Representation.

Now that the congressional campaign
has begun, at least among the Demo.
Gratis, local politicians in the various
counties will begin figuring as to the rel
ative strength of the candidates. In the
next congressional convention there will
be seventy-three votes, and it will take a
fraction over thirty.six aud one-half TO
nominate. The number of votes each
county will be allowed is as follows (:
Breathitt, five; Clark, ten; Elliott, five ;
Estill, three; Floyd, six; johnson, four ;
Knott, three; Lee, two; Martin, one
Magotiin, three; Menifee, two; Morgan
six; Montgomery, eight; Pike, eight ;
Powell, three, and Wolfe. three. In
1892 there were only sixty-two votes in
the convention. None of the counties
have lost representation, but the follow.
ing have gained: Breathitt, Floyd, Lee,
johnson, Morgan, Powell and Wolfe, one
each, and Montgomery aud Pike, two
each. This gain has been fairly well
distributed over the district aud will not
materially increase the strength of any
part of it as compared with the rest
