Gardner's Amended n Report !, ,

His Excellency, w. D. Bradley. Gov
ernor Of Kentucky--Sir Gov. Brown
ordered me, about the LIST inst, to exam
inc and report to him the condition Of
the accounts Of Hon. q. b. SwangO, as
register of the land office, with the state,
which order was complied with and re.
port filed the 9Th inst. Judge Swango
was at the time absent from the office,
and the examination was made with the
assistance of his two deputies, Maj.
Grant and Col. Tom Bullock, but since
his return / have re,examined the office
With his assistance, aud / beg leave to
amend my report by striking out 800
from his report of December, 1892,
and $l03 from his report Of June, 1895,
errors in addition, aud adding S24.75; ;
amount not extended on fee book, and
make it read /" Balance omitted from his
report due the state to June 80, 1895,
$8Tl.87," instead Of S950.72, which he
comedies correct and has reported and
settled. -. #
These omissions consist nearly entirely
OF fees received on surveys filed aud
should have been reported and accounted
for, as stated in my report, but from
private memorandum shown me, and an
entry in his report of June so, 1898, re.
serving the right to report further In dne
time, to which my attention was called,
am fully convinced that Judge Swango
intended reporting and accounting for
these amounts. The published state
ment of Maj. Grant, deputy register,
that the amount reported by me consist
ed of fees still in litigation, and that the
law required the register to retain the
same until the cases are settled, and that
If he did not, and the cases should be
defeated, it would result in loss to him,
as he could not recover IL from the state
when paid, does me an injustice, ia in.
correct and no such law exists. The law,
section 1904, chapter 1o7, Kentucky
statutes, reads: "All fees, including that
for issuing the patent, shall be paid on
filing a survey to the register and he
shall pay same TO the treasurer. III the
register give credit to any one for fees,
he shall account therefor as if they had
been paid" Respectfully submitted.

DR.. JOHN FLOYD LocKHART.
hecoilections OF n Busy Life in which Sue.
cess hns Crowned all Efforts,


DIR. JoHa FLOYD LocKHAnT, the sub
lect OF this sketch, Was born August III
1903, on Caney creek, il Morgan county
his father, being Milton Lockhart, and
his mother, Rebecca (Brown) Lockhart
both OF whom were natives of Tazewell
county, Virginia, from which place they
removed In March of the year in which
our subject first saw the light of day.
DIR. Lockhart first entered the public
school, then taught by Josiah Havens
on South fork Of Caney, when he wa:
hut six years of age, and at the close Of
the school was awarded first prize foi
his proficiency in spelling. He contin.
ued 10 attend the common schools of the
county until at the age of seventeen,
when he was awarded certificate as
teacher, having won prizes in all the
common school branches then taught in
the various schools he attended. His
first experience as teacher was with q
school in Menefee county, in which he
rendered entire satisfaction. He then
taught in Morgan county for four con-
secutive years, and, as in Menefee, gave
entire satisfaction, growing more prof
cient and more popular with each sue
Ceeding school term. During these FIVE
years he attended the best select schools
the country afforded during the winter
months, and in 1876 began the study of
medicine, his preceptor being DR.. Asa B,
Nickel, the eminent practitioner of
Eel. He had so far advanced in his
chosen profession that in 1879, just three
years after he commenced the study, that
he passed a satisfactory examination and
began to practice, since which time he
has enjoyed a lucrative patronage. In
1889 he took q course in medicine and
graduated from the Kentucky School of
Medicine at Louisville.

is unequalled in Eastern Kentucky anc
probably not exceled in the state.
DR.. LOckhart was united in the holy
bonds of matrimony with Miss EmmG
Pieratt, daughter of A. T. Pieratt, OF
Eel, June 1st, 1881, and this union has
been blessed with three children, the
oldest of whom, son, died on December
II, 1890. The other two are girls, one
Of them eight years Of age, and the
other baby, only about month old.
DR.. Lockhart is an ardent admirer OF
fine horses, and since the Inauguration OF
the Hazel Green Fair, of which he is
Fnow president, he has purchased and de.
veloped several trotters that have proved
fast enough to pay training expenses, feed,
etc, and leave a handsome balance on
the right side.
He was made Master Mason in 1890,
and for two years past has been secretary
of Eel Lodge No. $50. He is also a
member of the Methodist church, with
which he united early in life. Politically
he is a Democrat, but built on guage
50 broad and level that be acc0rds TO
every man the right TO think and vote
as he pleases without question, as he also
does in religion and other like matters.
As citizen, physician, dentist and pres.
ident Of our fair he has proved himself
model man, ranking higher in the moral
scale than any man, perhaps, in this sec
ton the of state. He neither drinks, Ghews,
smokes nor swears, and his advice 10 all

success in everything he has undertaken.

TOO MUCH WEATHER.
Any Kind You Want, From Ten
Above to Twenty-Five Below.

A regular winter day opened bright
and clear this morning. There was
not cloud in the sky and not breath
of air was stirring, but it was that
intense cold which seems to heavily
surround one like dense fog, with a
consistency that could be almost felt.
Dense clouds of smoke hung over the
city and curled lazily into the FROST
laden air-of itself an indication of
the intense cold. The early-riser
looked at his thermometer, gave an
extra SILVER and buttoned his coat
more tightly about him. Then he
came down town, added half dozen
degrees to the story told by his Their
mometer, and at once became cheer
full prevaricator.
There were all kinds of weather
this morning. In fact each citizen
who had his own thermometer also
had story about the temperature,
and these weather indicators are like
watches, with no two just alike.
The man who was out at I o'clock
insisted that the mercury registered
from 20 to % degrees below, while
the citizen of an hour later was sat-
isfied with the 20.
At o'clock the mercury, according
to majority of the most truthful,
stood at Is degrees below, and upon
this the larger part of the close OBJ
servers were agreed.
Anyhow, the citizens will be unit
on one essential point-that it was
the coolest day of the year.

PUSH HIM ALONG.
A Tramp With A Fur Coat Who
Was Particular.

An aristOcratic specimen of the
Weary Walker made his appearance
before family on Liberty street early
Sunday evening. A large fur coat
protected him from the weather but
he wanted something to eat just the
same.
A little daughteranswered his ring
at the door, and his lordship said
"Tell your mamma [ want something
to eat, and | want it warm. / must
come into the house. The kitchen
will do"
The child informed her father of
what had happened, and after few
minutes he asked the fellow inside
where he sat down to good supper.
In explanation the head of the
house said he had made it a practice
to be wary of admitting strangers
after nightfall. The gentleman of
leisure was insulted, and jumping
from the chair said:
"You needn't be so pertickeler, [
Can get WHAT want somewhere else"
The fellow went down the street,
and the head of the house left to
accept an invitation out to supper.
The tramp returned at about 80. but
he had been observed as he steathily
approached the house and his ring at
the door was unanswered. Failing to
get a response he went around the
house to the kitchen door and tried to
| force it open. In this he was unsuc-
cessful, for the women folks, appre-
hensive of his coming, had locked it.
1t is believed the fellow saw the
head of the house leave for uptown
and intended to brighten the ladies in
| to giving up their valuables.

rIANKATO'S GLOBE-TROTTERS.
Box Cars Having the Name of the
Blue Earth Capital.

1t is not often that a western city
like Mankato is fortunate enough to
have a manufacturing institution of
sufficient magnitude to own It's own
box cars, but the Creamery Package
company is doing just that, and to-
day the first of a number of the box
car family arrived in the city and
now stands upon the sidetrack at the
company's plant. The cars were
ordered by the concern last year, and
have been in the service of some of
the other manufactures belonging to
the company for some time; but not
until today have any of them been
within the corporate limits of this
city.
The cars are painted bright vel
low, with the name Creamery Pack
age Manufacturing Company" run
ming the full length of the top in
large black letters. The company's
trade mark is prominently displayed,
together with the names of the cities
in which the plants are located, and
Mankato is grouped with Kansas
City, Elgin, and other places.
The cars will prove a splendid adj
vertisement for the city.
