A Kentucky Romance.

For the last quarter of ( century
the Hatfield and Mccoy families OF
Kentucky have been engaged 10 what
Ia known iii that section as a "rued.'
When a state of fued is declared in
Kentucky the members of the respect
i've families begin settling it outside
the law and shoot each other on sight.
The Hattields and McCoys have killed
several hundred Of each other in that
way. They kill to satisfy revenge
AMI to sustain a reputation for cour-
age. To do this they resort to the
most cowardly methods, shooting
twelve year old boys from behind
fences and torturing their captives
like Apache Indians. But one Of the
Hatfields fell in love with q Mccoy
dameel and the marriage has united
he two houses.
After years Of hushwhacking, des.
perate ambush fighting and murders
uDcouBted, the two formidable clans
have come toget her in a spirit Of
am'ty and agreed to let bygones be
byRones u bury the Ratchet Of in
ternecine war.
A treaty of peace has new been SEAL
ed-at least. such is the report from
the mountain battle field-with A
rough and ready marriage covenant
between a prince of the house OF Hat
fields, in the person of Aaron, nephew
OF the celebrated Devil Anse' outlaw
King OF Logan county, and a certain
Princess Mary Mccoy, a daughter of
Rudolph Of that guild who is chief OF
the Clan Mccoy
A New York Herald correspondent
says:
The wedding came to pass merrily,
peacefully and joyful!y enough not
many days ago, and thereat a solemn
treaty Of peace was patched up be-
tween the contending factions and
ratified on the banks of the yellow and
rily Big Sandy river. And at that
most consequential and memorable
meeting all the Hatfields and McCovs,
Digs and little, illustrioas and ob.
scure. shook hands over brimminc
beakers of dutiless moonshine dew.

E. Kalama; Whites, Geo. Bailey, B. D.

Arthur and Villa Baldwin and John
Fleming.
The Blues first met the Reds and
easily vanguished them in two heats
of 10 minutes each with 5-minute in
tervals. The victors then played the
same length of time with the Whites
and after a. hard fought battle were
again victorious. Next the two beaten
won. The Blues then played the
Whites and after beating them were
declared champions of the tournament.
The contest lasted from $3.50 to p. NJ.

Novelty
Week..

The SmokeieSS stove on
which water is boiled in our
show window has been a
great attraction for several
DAYS to students in phil
osophy. The Jewel is a good
stove anyway.
The special subject for the
people this week is not
stoves, that subject is a daily
one. This week you will
have novelties of all sorts.
This is the season when
the hens 60 on strike and
the price of eggs goes sky
ward. Hens want a little
encouragement now and
then, and the best thing
known to science is green
bones. But they must be
cut up fine. We have the
best green bone cutter in the
world.
Another novelty is the
soap saver, made of re-tin-
ned wire, basket shaped,
with long handles. This is
the best soap saver known
and we have three sizes.
Cheaper than dirt and more
identifying.
DripleSs tea and coffee
strainers are new and SER

attachment which prevents
coffee or tea from dripping
on the table cloth after the
cup is filled. Very cheap
these, and pretty too.

BREEZY BLOCK ISLAND
Kitchen BarrOoms" do Rushing
BuSinesS--SeaSOn al Its Height.

The timely article which recently appeared
in The News in regard to private and un-
licensed barrooms is singularly adapted to the
state of affairs at Block Island.
short time previous, owing 10 the efforts
of the Women's Christian Temperance Union,
no-license was secured for the island. Judg-
ing from the numerous cases of individuals
who have been overcome 10y the fiery liquid
and may be seen mt any time in drunken
condition, there is reason TO believe that
liquor is sold freely 70 the whatsoever will. :"
One resident Of the island is positive of the
existence of five private drinking parlors
where the thirsty can enter and drink to
their hearts content. All this is directly
under the eye of the police and civil authori-
ties, and yet the illegal traffic iourishes. The
matter is causing great deal If discussion,
and it is hoped some steps will be taken.
The electric car line which was talked about
some time ago has proved only Utopian
dream. The intention was to run the cars
from the landing up to the Woonsocket House
of which A. j. Rose is proprietor. The plan
proved a failure owing to the lack of funds
sufficient to carry out the intention as pro-
posed.
The season at the island is fairly at its
height. The Sunday steamers bring crowds
while the Shinnecock and Montauk, the two
New York boats, bring every trip n large
number of guests who In a majority of cases
remain. Tho business for the steamers is
larger this season than it has been in many
years, and the hotels are compelled in many
instances to hire cottage rooms TO accommo-
date their guests.
The "sea serpent" story has reached here
and quite number of the guests are so affect
ed by the fishy yarns that some residents here
tell that they have feared TO go IN bathing,
lest they meet the terrible creature. The To-
cal fishermen all claim 10 have seen the crea-
ture between Point Judith AMI the island, and
the boarders are all DESTROYS Of catching
glimpse of the monster as represented.

INVESTIGATING LOANS.
Kansas Property on Which Insur-
ance Men Have Lent Money.

Topeka, Kas., Aug. "A close investigation
is now being made of the actual value Of
property in Kansas upon which eastern in
surance companies have made loans.
The investigation Is directed by State Su
perintenent of Insurance McNall, who will
make a detailed statement Of the condition of
these mortgages, and hopes thereby to cause
a general investigation Of the insurance loan
business all over the country. He believes
that the security for many of the loans re
ferred TO is not worth one-fourth the amount
of the loan.
This has been brought about by the great
shrinkage in real estate values since the loans
were made, and the point conten ded for by
the state superintendent is that the Insurance
companies will have to readjust their financial
affairs in such manner rs TO properly meet
the changed condition and make good their
showing of assets.
