MangIed by a Mad Dog.

A little son of Mr.. John Moss, a
farmer living in the Garrettsburg
neighborhood, while enroute to school
Friday, was attacked by a dog be-
lieved to be afflicted with rabies, and
was very badly bitten by the animal.
He was thrown to the ground and
the flesh was torn from the bone in
many places, rendering his recovery
very doubtful. Should he rally from
his injuries he will be taken to
Paducah at once and a mad stone
applied to the lacerated parts.

FRANTIC FOR FUSION.
JUDGE BREATHITr SEEKING SOME
KEYS TO THE SITUATION.
Political Conference In Paducah with
Several Galloway People Present
Nothing Done. Says Judge Jim.

suspicious political conference
between Republicans and certain
Populists from Murray was held at
Paducah Saturday.
The following extract is from an
article in the Register:
There was significant conference
at the Palmer House yesterday from
which it appears that the Populists
and Republicans of the Third judicial
district, embracing Galloway, Trigg,
Lyon and Christian counties, have
combined in an effort TO capture the
offices of circuit Judge and common
wealth's attorney. In the conference
were Judge James Breathitt, the
present Republican Judge, and Butler
KEYS. brother of Ben 9. Keys, who
wants to be commonwealth attorney.
There were also John Keys, another
brother, D. L. Reddin, prominent
Republican, who is Breathitt's mas
ter commissioner and wants to be
postmaster at Murray, and another
henchman of Keys. The party held
a long secret session, and while no
information would be given out, it is
reasonable to suppose that nice
little scheme was Matched out whereby
Breathitt and Keys will run on the
same ticket
In the Sun, the Republican paper,
the significance of the interview was
denied in the following article:
Judge James Breathitt, of Hop
kinsville, left this morning for Prince
ton, KY.
In regard to an article in this
mornings Register" under the cap
ton "Breathitt and Keys" he said:
"That is mere speculation. The
article is untrue and there was no fus-
ion effected as result OF any confer
ence. To tell the truth Butler Keys
was not in Paducah, and does not in
tend to make the race for common
wealth's attorney 50 far as | have
been able to find cut.
John Keys and D. l.. Reddin,,
Populist and Republican, respective
iy, were casual visitors in Paducah,
and did not come for any such pur-
pose as alleged by the article. 1t is
fact that they were in my room at
the Palmer House last night, together
with John NJ Mclean, of Murray, but
we did nothing but talk the matter
over, | do not Say, however, that a
fusion was not mentioned, but none
was effected, and the matter stands
where it was before.
81 think a great many Populists in
this Judicial district will vote for me
for circuit judge" he said, "but not
as a result of any conference held last
night or at any other time. | think
/ will win without any fusion, but of
course | would be pleased to have a
coalition of Republicans and Popu-
lists effected ! could then win by
at least 900 votes, but deem a fusion
impossible.
81 do not think that there will be
any other than a Democratic candi-
date for commemorative attorney in
the campaign"
The Registers article was founded
on little fact. The politicians hap
pened to meet in Paducah, and held
an insignificant conference, that is
ALL"

Chlid BADLY burned.

A fourteen months old child Of
Robert Wilkins, who lives on Jesup
Avenue, was perhaps fatally burned
yesterday, The child while alone in a
room caught its clothes on fire from a
CRATE and when the mother was call
ed from an adjoining room by the
little ones screams she found the baby
in flames, With great pres
ence of mind she threw the child upon
the bed and with the bedquilts
smothered out the flames. 1t was be-
lieyed yesterday than the injuries re-
ceived by the child would result
fatally, though it was still alive when

A CHANGE OF BASE.
Republicans win Hold Primary Election
Feb. 20.

The Republican county committee
met Saturday and decided to hold a
primary election Feb. 20. Some
weeks ago the committee held a
meeting and decided to settle all nom
nations itself, in meeting to be
held the last Saturday in May What
caused the change of program was
not announced. If the primary cleo
ton puts any differ mt phase IN The
contests within the Republican party,
it is to empower the $500 negro vot.
ers to absolutely name the entire
ticket, without consulting the 800
white Republicans or 200 new con
verts who voted with them last year.
The primary is expected to open the
list for free for all contests for several
Offices. Circuit Clerk Startling and
County Clerk Prowse will hardly
have opposition, but in all the other
races there will be lively contests.
just what part Rastus will cut in the
shindig remains to be seen. The pri-
mary will elect delegates to a conven-
ton Feb. ~.

Shorthand Reporting.

In the October number of Nun
sons Photographic News appears a
fine cut of Arthur Head our Court
Stenographer, also paper read by
him at the annual meeting of the
N. Y. s. Stenographers Association
entitled Facts and Fancies of short
hand. Mr.. Head thinks there must
be special adaptation of mind and
temperament and certain mental
and physical qualities to produce a
really competent verbatim reporter.
That such person is born, not made.
That thorough knowledge of the
common branches of education
particularly photography and gram
mar is necessary, and the more
thorough and liberal the education
the better reporter he will make.
He also says that it is a fallacy to
suppose the art can be mastered in a
short time. 1t requires years of
training and experience TO make a
competent reporter, and to be such
he must be specialist in whatever
line he adopts. He warns those
contemplating the study that to be
successful they must not expect a
life of unmixed. joy, or to be carried
to the heaven of perfection and pro-
fit on f1owery beds of ease, that hard
work, much care and great pains
taking are necessary to ensure even
a modicum of success. The paper is
we'll written and worthy the peru
sal of those who wish insight in the
duties and labors of a stenographer,
and the writer from his acknowledg-
ed ability as court reporter is un-
doubtedly qualified to speak by the
book.

Memorial Window.

The window mentioned in last
weeks Press, to be erected by Miss
Blanche Bidlack in the Presbyterian
Church, has been put in place, and
is beautiful work of art. The de-
sign represents the women at the
sepulcher. In the circular span at
the top is a figure of a young man
and the legend "He is not here for
He is risen." In the main window
there are five figures grouped
around the empty tomb in the bot
tom of which lies the crown of
thorns. Beneath are the words /;
"To the glory of God and in loving
memory of my mother, Margaret
Wallace, wife of Benjamin Alden
Bidlack, died 21st Sept, 1894"
The work was done in Munich
and Is in exquisite taste and of ele-
CANT finish, and presents a beauti-
full picture of that memorable scene
related in Luke XVI chapter.

he practised the profession of law
until 1870 when he removed to this
country aud after living in New
York and other places for several

pursuit he has devoted his time
since coming TO our county. He is
survived by his widow, Margaret
Ann, whose maiden name was

claim that as an official he was care
full and scrupulously honest, but
that he is distasteful to politicians.
The theory is advanced here that
the east has no candidate the equal

him TO become a full-fledged candi-
date, but it is extremely doubtf ul
that he will enter the field. Ex-
Secretary Reeder has declared that
he will not be candidate. 1t Is al

REV. HAMsleY INVESTIGATED.
Charged with Unministeriai Conduct at
Monticello.


A commission appointed by the
Presbytery of Hudson sat during last
week at Monticello to investigate
charges brought against Rev. NJ. G.
Hambly pastor of the White Lake
Presbyterian church in Sullivan
county. The charges against him
are drunkenness and other highly
improper ministerial conduct. A
mum mber of witnesses were called for
the prosecution and the charges
mainly proven to the satisfaction of
the commissioners.
Mr.. Hambley conducted his own
defense and while denying the
charges of drunkenness admitted
that he drank occasionally.
His defense to the charge of i'm.
proper conduct with regard to wo-
men was chiefly an attempt to dis
credit the persons whom it is al
legged he insulted.
The charges were all sustained
however, and he was deposed from
the ministry.
