his guest, Mr. j. Edward Addicks, Repub-

was attended by nearly 200 enthusiastic

with q zeal that is astonishing from such

DR.. Marshall acted as host and introduced
the visitors in turn. and was ever ready
with small bit of personal history Of

Addicks IN a cool, digniiied and stately
manner, which was probably meant to be
impressive.

Robbed Near Winchester.

Mr.. VIM. Spencer, well knows
and popular farmer:of this county, on
Monday night of last week, reached
Winchester on his way home from a
trip to the west. His train missed
connection, and he hired horse and
buggy, with negro driver, to come

When some distance this side of
Winchester, the negro drew razor Oh
Mr.. Spencer and demanded his money.
After getting what money Mr.. Spen-
Ger had with him, some $33, the
brute threatened to kill the old gen.
tleman. A fortunate movement of
the horse threw the scoundrel to the
ground, and Mr.. Spencer drove rap
idly toward home. Mr.. Spencer sent
to town for bis son-in-law, Mr.. Chas.

A Tape Worm Suit.
afternoon

A very peculiar sHit has been filed
in the Bullitt Quarterly Court. DR.
Kaniser, prominent physician OF
Smithville, swore out writ of de-
livery against Dock Miller, of color,
for the recovery of tape worm
which the doctor claims he took from
Miller's boy several weeks ago and
which Miller promised to deliver to
him in consideration of the doctors
services.
Recently the doctor called upon
Miller for the worm, which was pre-
served in alcohol, and the darkey re-
fused TO give it up, claiming the boy
would die if the worm went out OF
the family. The doctor then demand
ed the money for his services attending
the boy, but Dock didn't have the
money and turned the doctor away
with insulting words. The doctor is
very wrothy and determined to collect
his fee.

Mother and Daughter.

Mrs. Virginia Bolts, one of the old
est citizens of Mt. Sterling in length
of residence as well as in years of life,
died on Tuesday morning last at her
home in this city. For many years
she has been almost a complete inva-
lid and confirmed recluse for manv
more. She would have reached the
ripe age of ninety years had she lived
till the 10th day of November next,
and seventy-five of those years has
been spent as resident of Mt. Ster-
ing. Nearly seventy years ago she
Joined the Christian Church under the
preaching of the distinguished Alex
ander Campbell. Mrs. Bolts had a
strong hold on the friendship of our
older citizens who knew her when she
was woman in the prime of life and
in the discharge of its active duties.
Mrs. Bolts passed away about 10 a.
M, and as the wires were bearing the
news Of her demise to her daughter,
Mrs. John b. Wilson, of Shelby coun-
ty, the some wire was charged with
another message to the family here
that Mrs. Wilson herself had gone to
join the mother in the other land.
Barely half hour interviewed between
the demise of mother and daughter.
The remains of Mrs. Wilson were
brought here and the unusual scene
was witnessed of mother and daugh-
ter being laid away together in our
city of the dead. The burial service
of the two was held at the home of
Mrs. Bolts in this city on Wednesday
afternoon.

Let Clark Settle it.

In spite of the fact that the Camp
ton Convention Endorsed Judge w. M
Beckner for the short term in Congress
to succeed the Hon. NJ. G. Lisle, he will
have to fight inside the party for the
place. Mr.. ID. G. Isle, brother of the
deceased Congressman, has followed
up his announcement of candidacy by
commencing an active fight for the
place His claims are purely senti-
mental, and that sort of thing goes a
long ways IN that district, and it. may
be that he will be a formidable factor
in the race.
1t seems a pity that the Democrats
of the district at this particular time
when harmony is so much desired
should be called on to settle a contest
for such very short term, and it has
been suggested that Judge Beckner
ana Mr.. Lisle leave the settlement of
the matter to the voters of Clark county
where they both reside. 1t is said the
two gentlemen concerned have prac-
tically agreed to this, and it seems to
be the sensible way out of it.-Cou-

not only required to meet dissensions
in their own ranks, but it appears are
also compelled to receive threats OF
personal violence from persons on the

come by mail, and are generally an
onymous.

specimen: "New York, July 19.-To

STONES BILL.
II Provides For the Inspection Of
Immigrants on the Other Side.

Washington, July 21.-The Con
gressional authorities on immigra.
ton laws are much exercised over
the passage of Representative Will
lam A. Stones immigration Bill in
the House yesterday, while most OF
the members were watching the
exciting scenes in the Senate. The
Stone bill is ar-reaching in it's eff
feet on the system of inspecting
immigrants, as the entire inspec-
ton is transferred to foreign ports
and placed in the hands of United
States Consuls, instead of waiting
for inspection at New York and
other ports when the immigrant
arrives in this country. II expect
to see the bill taken up by the SEN
ate at an early day and passed, +"
said Mr.. Stone, "and already sew
eral Senators who recognize the
evils of immigration have signified
their purpose to urge it to speedy
passage. The present immigration
system has proved failure. I'm
migrants keep coming without
reference to restrictions. The sys-
tenn is wrong, as it leaves the i'm
migrant to furnish all the informa-
tion on which he is to be received
or rejected"
Mr.. Stone was asked if the re-
moval of the system to foreign
ports would not neCessitate a large
force of inspectors or else give the
United States Consuls additional
work, emitting them to additional
pay. "No," said he. efforts have
been made to so change the laws as
to let the Treasury Department
appoint the foreign inspectors.
Such change would necessitate
the creation of large force of Off
GERS; but as the bill stands the
United States Consuls, who are not
overburdened with work, will have
charge of the inspection"
1t is understood that Senators
Davis, Chandler and Quay will
particularly interest themselves in
the Stone bill with a view to it's
early adoption.

All There Senator's!

The Senate's reception of the Presi-
dents letter was what might have
been expected. The small boy can
never understand the justice of a
spanking. The Senate is out of sorts
1t knows it has brought itself into
contempt. 1t knows it has dishonored
the pledges of the Democratic party.
1t has managed to quiet its own
conscience by specious arguments, bat
it has had restless fear that there is
going to be trouble to make these ar
guments stand with the people. They
are not too far gone to recognize in the
Presidents letter the opinion that the
people entertain of them-that they
have been driving the Democracy
toward party perfdy and party dis
honor. "-Courier Jouonal.
