INDICTED. Wilfred Carico Accused of False Swearing by
 Jake Rowe. OUTRAGEOUS CHARGE AGAINST ONE OF THE LEADING MEM. BERs OF THE BAR. The Publisher and Editor of the Inquirer Glad Victims of Rowe's Drunken Malice. Jake Taken out of the Court
 Room.
owensboro. Ky. InmlIrer. Dec. es.

owensboro, Ky, Inquirer, Dec ss.
 The Grand Jury this afternoon re- turned into court the following in- dietments:
 WlLFRED CARGO, for false swear ing.
 w. @. ADAMS, for criminal libel.
 c. T. SUTTON, for criminal libel.
 The indictments were returned at 3:30 o'clock, and MT. Carico at once demanded an immediate trial.
 Gommonwealth's Attorney Rowe objected and stated that the ease could not be tried at this term of the court. The court heard MT. Carico's motion and set his case for Thursday morning at o'clock.
 Rowe was drunk aud kept Dn talk ing and arguing with the court. Judge Owen ordered the sheriff and jailer to remove him from the court room, which was done. Surprise was expressed that Rowe was not sent to jail.
 The indictments grew out of the making Of an affidavit by Wilfred Carico charging Rowe with fraud and malfeasance, and the publication of the same in the Inquirer.
 The court yesterday sustained the affidavit made by Carico and virtual ly convicted Rowe of all the things charged by Carico and the indict ments therefore surprised both the court and bar.
 MT. Carico will be triumpantly ac- quilted when his case comes to tria. and the Inquirer is only too glad of the chance to get into court and prove the truth of the charges.
 The indictments are not signed by anyone as commonwealth's attorney. The witnesses are J. E. Rowe, N. A. Gray and J. A. Lyddane.

GOVERNED BY WOMEN.
The Kansas City Which Is Ruled by .As New Woman.

Women have every reason in the world to be encouraged, and tha most delightful proof of their progress lies in a little town of Kansas.
 The city of Gaylord, i'll Kansas, IS not so large as New York nor so fm- portant at Boston, but it is q good sized place and enjoys the distinction of being the only municipality i'll the world that is governed entirely by women.
 This beautiful state of affairs has been in existence for an entire year and the innovation has given a great amount of satisfaction. The city is governed with honesty and abilisy. The streets arc clean, and elections are conducted i'll a host ladylike manner, the scene at tEe polls being more like q soeial affair in a private house than anything else.
 The mayor, Mrs. Antoinette L. Has kell, is now in her second term, and at the last election received just twice as many votes as the opposing male candi- date. She has two sons, one r and the other 1 years of age, and hen hus- band is q prosperous banker and land- owner.
 The office of city clerk is held by Miss Florence Headly, whos though still very young, is also editor of the Gaylord Herald.
 Mrs Mary L. Foote, the police judge. was opposed in her race for office by her husband, but defeated him by st large majority. Mr Foote, 1t is said, has de- cided to keep out of politics hereafter.
 The members of the council are Mrs. Mary A. White, Mrs. Nancy Wright, Mrs Emma A. Mitchell, Mrs. Esther Johnston and Mrs. Ioella Aberorombie.

One must be truly de- voted to one's art to live in the midst of such horrors and i'll such coarse con- pany. The men were surprised to see a young woman interested i'll such things and were disposed to make 1t disa- greeable for me. But providence never abandons those who strive to do well, and came to my aid in the person of good old M. Emile, a Hercules ill force and physique, who declared that he would take 1t upon himself to admins ter | good lesson to the first one wno behaved rudely toward me. From that time l worked without further annoy ance. The position that my protector occupied was that of sealder and dresser of calves heads. Seeing how frugally breakfasted, he often invited me home with him, and there, surrounded by the curious implements that served him n his profession, his wife, as good and honest IS himself, made nae partake of many comforting meal.
 At last fortune smiled on me. M. Tedesco, the picture dealer, bought ono of my eanvases. The secretary of zfae arts commissioned me to copy a picture -a Flight Into Egypt, I forget by whom--and 1 painted another pietule, The shepherd and His Flock Seeking Refuge From the storm, which I sod well, and, lastly, to crown all these hs9. py successes, I was asked in marriage by druggist. As the drug store had no attraction for me Irefased My father x position had improved also. but death overlook him very soon after this bright. ening up of our prospects .

A. New Niagaea Bridge.

The famous suspension bridge at Nj agara falls. which was built ill 1855, is to be superseded by new steel struc- ture, with an arch 550 feet long and 26o feet above the wafer level. "The old bridge, built by Roebling, " says the Chicago Chronicle, was one of the modern wonders of the world, as it was the first suspension bridge built for the purpose of carrying railroad trains. Tho new bridge will, however, be greater marvel of science than the old. It will have two floors, the upper for railway trains and the lower for roadway foot walks and trolley tracks. The new bridge will be built on the exact site of the old suspension affair, but there will be no interference N ith traffic, which IS one of it's greatest marEels The work will occupy about six months.
