 LEXINGTON, Ky, March 20-Senstor Blackburn was rendered a banquet here Wednesday night by his friends in this city. The senator mounted the stairway in the Phoenix hotel, making 15-minute speech, denouncing Gov. Bradley for calling out the state militia and the Republicans in general.
 After declaring himself candidate for reelection he began to take Governor Bradley to task for his "bayonet rule. {"
 He declared there was never any cause for fear and believed the governor was frightened for his own safety. He told how he sat for three days in the cloak room looking at the soldiers as they trod the halls with arms. He said it was Q shame upon the state and he

SAID TO RUN SEVENTY MILES
It Possibly Connects In Some Way With the Mammoth Cave Ownership of the
 Entrance.

To the heirs of one Jacob Lock, who died in Edmonson County in 1870, all reside in Dayiess County, and have unexpectedly come into the right to some land which is evidently worth a good-sized fore tune. There are four of them, says the 0wensboro, (Ky.) Messenger.
 MT. s. H. Peyton, 8 lawyer from Munfordsville, representing a syndi- cate of capitalists, was in the city yesterday to negotiate with the heirs with view to purchasing their interest in certain tract of land containing 200 acres. The heirs are Mrs. Middleton Knight, who lives four miles west of the city; Mrs. J. J. and Napoleon Hull sey, of Reeds Station, and Marcus L. Hulsey, of Sorgho. They are children of Mrs. Hulsey, who was the full and only sister of Jacob Lock, of Edmonson County.
 Not long ago cave was dis covered on the tract which is said to excel the famous Mammoth Cave for granduer, and reports be true can be made more popular resort. It is said that the passages run from under the tract to several miles away and that there is large hole under the mouth of the cave that is 165 feet deep. The interior of the cave abounds in wonders that are superior to those of the Mommoth Cave. It is two miles from the branch of the Louisville & Nashville railroad, which runs to Mammoth Cave, and is of easy access. After the cave was discovered the Louis vile & Nashville purchased 2,000 acres of land surrounding the tract in which is the mouth of the cave.
 Jacob Lock died in 1879, and &C., cording to law the four named per sons residing in this county were the direct heirs to a one third un- divided interest in the tract, their mother having been a full sister to Lock, and she being dead. When Lock died, A. H. Adair, the ad- ministrator of Locks estate, by order of court. sold the land, but arranged for his daughter, Mrs. Elsenberg, to buy the property, which she did. She afterwards sold a one-third interest to man named Hazel, who sold to the l.. & N. syndicate, deeding it to M H. Smith. President. She sold the remaining two thirds interest to Mr. Peyton's syndicate. The purchasers took commissioners deeds, and the titles. are now in litigation for rati6ca-. tion.

Charming Fife Ellsler is billed to appear at the Opera-house on ! Wednesday. March 25 Every art numbers among it's devotees some who do it honor in their personality. as well as in the measure of their success, whose justly achievel career
 partakes equally of the artist and
 of the artists work the one bringing
 native grace and human interest to

 with their worth, not by the
 meteoric flash of genius, but by the
 serene and steady light they diffuse
 in the field of their choice. To the
 admiration they excite on first a:-

 personal esteem, though we may
 know them only as contributors to

Though she has grown more matronly with the years, we always think of her as we first saw her, as the girl who first won us in thechar

To us she is still the milIer's daughter, lsom, lght-footed, with the sweet natur- q alness of manner which was some thing more and something better # than the artlessness of perfect art, # and the low contralto tones, which by common consent, are the audible # evidence of a womanly soul. 1t is # not enough to say of Fife Ellsler # that she has succeeded and that the \ evil tongues which were wont to

gation the right of the four Daviess County heirs had been completely | ignored until a few weeks ago. when an examination of the Edmon- son County records revealed the 1 fact that they resided here, and that they were the rightful owners of a one-third undivided interest in the land. Immediately after these facts were discovered Mr. Peyton came to Owensboro and asked the heirs what they would take for their interest. This was the first they knew of the death of their uncle. They refused to set a price to MT. Peyton. A week later the Louisville x Nashville had a representative to come and try to buy the Hulsey interest, but he met with the same failure that Mr. Peyton had. Last week one of the Hulseys went to Edmonson County to look after their interst, and returned last Saturday, having satisfied himself that their title was complete. While there tavern keeper near the land advised him to take no less than $50, GOO for their interest, saying that he thought it worth that much at least. MT. Pey- ton wanted to appoint a time for a meeting with the heirs, and yester- day was the day set. The Hnlseys employed Judge Eli H. Brown as their attorney, and the meeting was held in his office. The matter was given considerable discussion and investigation, and MT. Peyton asked that a price be set on the property. Again no agreement could be reached, and it was finally decided that Judge Brown should go to the place and gain some idea of the value of the property, and then fair price could be set on it.. He will probably go next week. Fabulous tales have been set aioat regarding the wonders of the newly discovered cave, which has been named "The Colossal Cave, and is attracting much interest. One report is that there is large passageway that is seventy miles in length. That it is only few miles from the Mammoth Cave, and many people believe that a passage way exist between the two. Both syndicates have investigated the land for a resort and a place of in- terest, and both are very anxious to gain possession of clear title to the one third interest of the Hull sey heirs.
 The Hulsey heirs are all farming people and work hard for living They are much elated at their un- expected good fortune in coming in possession of the land, and the probability of there being 9 large fortune in store for each of them. Judge Brown has been given charge of their interest, and will soon be in position to report to them the ex- tent of their fortune.

 He threw several boquets at the Pop ulists, declaring that the two members were manly men and worthy the honor that had been given them.
 He characterized the sound money Democrats who had failed to vote for him as traitors. led astray by Cleveland and Carlisle His Announcement of them was bitter, and he declared that but for their action he would have been elected without difficulty. He declared he would return to Washington and raise his voice in defense of the honor of the state and would leave it to his friends to see that the disgraceful scenea at the capitol of Kentucky serve to solidify the Democratic party.
 After finishing, Senator Blackburn and his friends repaired to the banquet hall, and many of tho toasts offered hurled defiance at the governor and the sound money Democrats who prevented Blackburn's election.

Louis NJ"

After ah absence of several years, MT. Thomas Keene, supported by dn excellent company of players, ap- peared at the Opera house lasteYen- ing in 'Louis XI" to an exceedingly large, cultured and appreciative audience. There is not an actor on the stage today who is more gener- ally liked by the theater-goers of Pine Bluff than Mir. Keene, and per sistent and numerous were the cur tain-calls bestowed on he and his company last evening.
 "Louis XI" is an historical drama, adapted from "Casimir De Lavigne, and Sir Walter Scott's "Quentin Durand, by Edwin Arden and Arden Smith, especially for Mr. Keene, and the story of the play is laid in the fifteenth century, the plot of which has already appeared in these columns.
 Mr. Keene's support is an exceed ingly strong one, especially so in Mir Frank Hennig, whose portrayal of Que de Ncmours" was of the highest order and showed marked ability and dramatic talent.
 The remainder of the company were exceedingly strong and the play and company is beyond the shadow of a doubt the best that has appeared at this play house in years.
 Like Louis XI,o Mr. Keene is aged, being about 56 years of age, and although he may Tive to be 1OO,' (and we sincerely hope he wilD tis not improbable that the people of Pine Emf will ever have the pleasure of seeing again the greatest of all living tragedians.

Eearly and Late Casters.

Easter Sunday cannot happen ear
lier than March %, or later than April
% but between these two dates it has o
range of 35 days. At the time of the
Council of Nice, 325, A. D., it was
agreed by the representatives present
that from that time forward Easter
should fall on the first Sunday after
the full moon occurring on or next
March 81; or, in others words, "on
the first Sunday after the first full
moon after the sun crosses the line.
Since the above arrangement was
adopted by the great ecclesiastical
council referred to, Easter has fallen
March % and on every date between
that and April 25, but it is only after
long intervals of time that it 'occurs on
its extreme dates. In 1856 Easter fell
on April 25, its latest possible date, an
event which had not before occurred
during the present century, and which
will not again occur until the spring of
1913. The last time Easter fell on its
earliest date was in 1918. This will
not happen again during this century
or the next. In 1892 it came surpris-
.ingly near breaking this century's
early Easter date record, falling on
March 2G.
The Easter dates for the remainder
of the century are: 1896, April 5; 1897,
April 7; 1898, April 10; 1890, April 2;
1900, April II.

His mother looked troubled.

James, fearing that boy who had a
record for carelessness might not be

conceal the truth. 1t was long dis

been dismissed, and the changes were
slight for new employer hearing the
truth. But he thought better of it,
and frankly told exactly the circum-
stances which had led to his seeking
the situation.

humoredly, "but I have heard that

honest enough to own them, are likely

James, earnestly.

Treatment Of Acute Rheumatism

For external applications in acute
articular rheumatism, there are none
more etficacious than mustard poultic.
es. The use of these should be
commenced at once, as soon as the
joints become painful. If only small
number are affected, pouItices can be
applied to each simultaneously, OF
in succession until all are treated
When new joints become involved
renewed applications are demanded
in fact. the disease should be from
one affected portion to another. The
poultices may be applied twice daily
and after their use the inflamed joints
should be wrapped in dry cotton wool
and then bandaged neatly and lightly
with flannel. Some authors claim
that these coverings are useless, but al
who have suffered from the disease
can testify that exposure of the sick
room, aggravates the pain.
