Rutte. Boise City & San Francisco rail-
road continues to be leading topic Of
conversation in local banking and bust
ness circles. The statement made by
r. It. Woodwork Of Denver that San
Francisco was going to give a bonus
Of s2.5OO,O 900 to his new road, was read (
with amazement in this city. Nobody |
as far as can be ascertained, has heard
of any movement to raise such a bo-
nus.
Woodworth's rash remark about the
bonus, following as it does on the heels
of Moritz Lippman's statement that the
new road had already made arrange
ments for terminal facilities in San
Francisco and Oakland has caused a
number of prominent people to view the
enterprise with distrust. And yet they
do not wish to do or say anything that
may hamper these men if they are sim
cere in their efforts to build road
from Butte to San Francisco. The gen
eral opinion is that it is best to give
Lippman and his associates plenty OF
time to show their hands. If it is then
shown that the enterprise can be car
ried to a successful issue the men who
are backing the enterprise will be as
sured of the hearty support OF San
Francisco.
c.. P. Huntington said when asked
what he thought of the scheme: "What
do I think of the Butte, Boise City q
San Francisco railroad scheme! wen,
I have just the same psaion about IT
as would have about the constructor
of road to the moon. Material is very
cheap now and yet it would cost $oO,-
100000 to build such line. Capltal
is very sensitive at present ana II
would want to know what sort OF an
investment such road would offer
There is no business to amount to any
thing between here and Butte. MY
credit is as good in New York as that o.
the Bank of England and yet l couio
not borrow $4,000, 900 there to put into
such a road. I have been borrowing
and handling money in New YORK Iol
IS years and I know what am TALKING
about.
Capital wants returns on it's invest
ments and Butte-San Francisco ran

the Central Pacific between Reno an

as local business is concerned.

Thornbery Turned Loose.

The jury in the Dawson murder
case brou ght in verdict last week
at jacksonville acquitting Rufus
Thornbery, who was charged with
completely ip the crime. Two years
ago Albert Berry, an old colored
preacher, was murdered at colored
boarding house in Dawson. The
colored persons in the house at the
time testified to identifying Rufus
Thornberry, VIM. Menser and Volney
Gilbert, as members of the party that
did the shooting and located the time
of the killing as between the arrival
of the two midnight passenger trains.
Thornberry proved by dozen wit
nesses that he was in a poker game at
the time mentioned, clearly establish
ing an alibi, and Menser did likewise.
Gilbert also gave a satisfactory &C
count of himself, and these cases
were also dismissed.

Silver Set 'em Wild.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June 5th.-The
Democratic silver convention adj
journed tonight after session in
the course of which there was
but little dissension. Resolutions
were adopted declaring in favor of
the use of both gold and silver as the
standard money of the United States
at the ratio of Is to |, without waiting
for the action of any other nation, as
declared at length below; also indoors
ing the action of the Democratic Cen
trail committee in calling this conven-
ton and instructing the committee to
carry out the will of the convention
by inaugurating a campaign of edu-
cation and thoroughly organizing the
Democracy throughout the state on
the lines laid down in the resolutions.
The Democratic members of congress
and senators are also instructed to
use all honorable means to carry out
the principles enunciated.
Resolutions were also adopted in
favor of national silver convention
to be held not later than August, and
delegates at large to such convention
if one shall be called, were selected.

KeIlar an Easy Winner.

Green R. Kellar, of Carlisle, was
nominated for railroad commissioner
on the first ballot by the Democratic
district convention in the second dis
trict, held at Winchester last Friday.
Rolla X. Hart was made perma-
nent chairman and Joseph Jeffries,
of Bell, permanent secretary.
No effort was made to pass a silver
resolution. A packed committee was
appointed with Al Berry as chairman
and the following suggestion" was
adopted without contest:
"We indorse the declaration of
principles adopted by the National
Democratic convention at Chicago
and the conservative course of the
party on financial questions, which
has at length restored confidence to
the business future of our country"
Judge Helm, of Kenton, who the
CoVington Commonwealth says was
not appointed a delegate, also offered
a resolution endorsing Cleveland and
CARLISLE, which was adopted by an
aye and no vote.

The three games last week between
the Nashville Athletics and the Locals
in this city, we're witnessed by over a
thousand people. The playing each
day was good, but the visitors could
not hold the Locals down and lost all
three of the games. Thursdays score
was: Hopkinsville, 2; Athletics, 0.
On Friday the visitors got in one run
and the home team made 9. This
was just too much for the Nashville
boys to swallow, SO they wired a pro-
fessioEal pitcher to be on hand to as
sist in Saturdays game. He arrived
on the morning train and was in the
box on time, but this did not seem to
improve matters much. Our boys
batted his ball all owe the field at
pleasure and made IL scores. The
home team pitchers were very sore
from having twirled the ball in the
two previous games, but held down
the visitors, with little difficulty, to s
runs. The local team has not lost
game this season, although they have
several times crossed bats with clubs
that have reputation at stake as
ball-players.

Watkins Also Enters,

Judge L. j. Watkins, of Eddyville,
is announced in his home paper as a
candidate for circuit judge, making
the sixth candidate to enter the race.
Every county has one or more can
didates. Christian has two, Gallo
way two, Trigg one and Lyon one.
The Tale of two cities says of Judge
Watkins: His thirty years of active
practice at the bar, for twenty years
of which time he was county Judge
of Lyon county, has well qualified
and equipped him for the important
duties of circuit Judge. AS an hon
orable, upright, Christian gentleman
and Democrat in whom there is no
guile, he is not excelled in the dis
trict. His rare fund of legal knowl-
edge and scholarly attachments fit him
in such an eminent degree for the
place that the convention could not
do better than name him as a candi-
date"

Change the Convention.

The announcement of a candidate
for circuit Judge who lives in Eddy
vile makes that town no longer neu-
trail ground upon which to hold the
judicial convention, and the commit
tee should meet and change the con-
vention to Cerulean Springs. 1t is
true that place is in Col. Burnett's
county, but it is remote from bis
home town and the other candidates
could hardly object to the change. 1t
is unfair to hold convention in any
town where candidate lives and we
suggest that Chairman Gatlin call
his committee together for the pur-
pose of taking action in this matter.

A Stupid Butler.

the following story, which appeared
in Madrid journal, is true. 1t seems
that lady ordered her butler one
morning to tell all visitors that she
was not at home. At night, when
enumerating the persons who had
called during the day, he mentioned
the lady's sister, when his mistress
exclaimed: II told you, man, that l
was always at home for my sister!
You ought to have shown her in. "
Next day the lady went out to
make few calls, and during her alb
sence her sister came to the house.

asked the butler.
Yes, madam, " was the reply.
The lady went upstairs and looked
everywhere for her sister. On COM

"My sister must have gone out, for
Icould not find her."
"Yes, madam, she has gone out,
but she told me last night that she
was always at home for you. "-Har-

A Taste of Old Times.

Several prominent farmers have
already sold their wheat crops for
July delivery at from 10 to rs cents.
This is about so per cent higher than
last year. The crop of 1894 was re-
ported at about $4,000 bushels. This
was by no means full estimate, but
at these figures the increased price
represents gain of $162,500 to the
farmers of Christian county. This is
a per capita increase of nearly SIS for
all the population of the county and
is bound to help business generally
and show the people how much better
it would be for them to sell their pro-
duce at "infated" prices.

A WISE DOG.
Story Of a Plebeian Hound, Demo-
cratic and Home spun.
He Had No Pedigree and No Repertory OF
Tricks, But He Knew q Good Deal
AN Instance of His Won
derful sagacity.

He was not thoroughbred, high
toned dog with an ancestry that
made him canine aristocrat, saws
the Hartford Courant. He was a
plebeian hound, democratic and
homespun in his ways, with degree
Of intelligence and common sense
that would do credit to man, the
speaking animal. His name was
Pete, and for twenty years ne was
member of the family of N. NJ.
Wright, of East Hartland. He had
good head on him for a dog, and
many of his feats of mind power, so
to speak, are traditions in the fam
lily. He knew all the members Of
the family when their various names
were called, and would approach the
mother or the aunt whenever told to
do so, and never made mistake.
One instance of Pete's sagacity is
worth noting as showing the quality
of the dog.
1t was during the period of heavy
snow and impossible roads imme-
diately succeeding the March bliz-
card of 1888. One member of the
family was away from home six
miles and half and sick.
There was no way to get any
word to or from her, with the
snow six to ten feet in the roads.
Pete was familiar with the place
where the sick person was, and how
to get there. He also appeared
very nervous and evidently missed
the sick one from the house. One
day it occurred that communication
might be established by Pete. A
note was tied about his neck and he
was told to 60 and find the sick one.
He plunged into the snow, made his
way six miles and half, gained en-
trance to the house, rushed into the
sick room and jumped upon the bed.
The note was read, an answer tied
to Pete's collar, and he was sent.
back. He made the round trip In
WV hOul . ohN q ndll, duu cdCu utty
for two weeks made the same trip,
varying scarcely a minute from two
hours and half on any trip.
Well, Pete grew old. He was
weak, his teeth were gone, and it
was hard lines for the old hound.
Mr.. Wright, although he has shot
many animals In his capacity as
agent for the Humane society, could
not bring himself to part company
with a friend that had done such
faithful service and been so worthy
a member of his family. So it hap
pened that one day this week,
Dwight W. Thrall, the general agent
of the society, was out in Hartland,
and he was called upon to perform
the sad office. Peter was sent
across the Styx painlessly at the
muzzle of Mr.. Thrall's revolver. His
body was put in new pine box and
he was accorded decent burial and
there were real tears from those
who loved him.
