ATTORNEY GENERAL STUMPED.
Idaho Court Decision Has Left Him
In the Air.
Especial 10 The lierald)

Boise, Ida, Dec. 1S-Attorney Gen
eral Mcfarland today submitted to the
supreme court a statement. in which
he says that under former decisions of
the court he is at a loss to know how
to proceed against the attack on the
constitutionaHty of the anti-gambling
act. He says: In view of these de.
cisions of the court, find it impossi-
bic to prepare a brief in support of the
validity of the act in question which
would not be antagonistic to the rul-
ings of this court
This surrender of the attorney gem
eral seems TO leave little room for
doubt that the anti-gambling law will
fail.

voLPAIRE AND ROUSSEAU.
Bodies Exhumed in Order to Settle a
Controversy.

Paris, Dec 1S.-The bodies of Vol
taire and Rousseau were exhumed to-
day at the Pantheon in order to settle
a long standing controversy as to their
authenticity. The remains of Voltaire
We're well preserved and markedly re-
sembled the statue. Of the body of
Rousseau, only the skeleton remains.
Voltaire's skull was found to be clo-
ven in two down the center. There
was no trace Of a shot wound in the
skull of Rousseau, and this disproves
the general belief that the author COM
mitted suicide by shooting.

BORN IN OHIO.

Washington Hessing was born in Gin
cinnati, May Il, 1879. Up to 1851, young
Hessing ATTENDED the city schools of
Chicago, his father having removed to
this city in 1854. In 1866 he entered the
examinations at Harvard university
but failed to pass. Without sending any
word to his parents he at once took
the examination for entry at Yale and
was admitted, graduating with a de-
gree.
The year following his graduation he
entered the university of Berlin and
took a special course in political econ
omy and German literature. IN 1872
he began active work on the Stats
Zeitung, of which his father was the
proprietor, and in a few years after be
came the managing editor Of the pa
per. From the time of his connection
with the paper, Mr.. Messing took an
active interest in politics. and when
but % years of age he was appointed
member of the board of education,
and upon his retirement, Mayor Medih
offered him a second term, which he

on a sofa, with his head supported on
his hand. He was breathing heavily
but there was nothing unusual in his
appearance, and the girl supposed him
to be asleep. At o'clock, Mrs. Hessing
entered the room and noticing at once
that her husband was very i'll, quickly
summoned assistance, but by the time
aid was at hand MI Messing was dead.
The physicians declared that he had
died of heart disease and said in all
probability they could not have saved
him had they reached him before life
was extinct

The kentuckIan.

A friend in Missouri sends his
clipping credited to the Columbia
mo- Herald and desires its pub
LEGATION -
This lie county of Kentuckians.
Mighty few of our leading citizens
who have resided here for more
than a dozen years will admit being
anything else. And they WILL come
'from near Lexington" too.
The Kentuckian always holds his
head up when he meets a friend.
BE never lodges an acquaintance
or deserts a neighbor. He is always
true blue. He likes romance and
would much rather run off with a
girl than marry quietly in church.
Indeed he has been heard to express
u doubt as to whether a wedding il
which the parents consented is al
together legal. That he loves women
and swift horses has passed into a
proverb. But he likes only the
horses to be swift.
The Kentuckian Is a born polIti-
elan. When he comes to Missouri
AS he usually does when he ar
rives at the age Of discretion-he
first buys a farm and then runs for
office. He usually gets the Office
and loses his farm. The Kentuck-
ian likes politics because it is part
war and part lottery. He dearly
loves both. He will fight at the
drop of the hat and drop the hat.
He will bet on anything from
horse-race to the length of the
preachers prayer. So he goes into
politics.
The Kentuckian Is captivated by
a good speech. He can usually
make one himself, but whether he
can or not he idolizes him who
does. OratOry, 20 a Kentuekian,
covers a multitude of sins. With
him a man may commit all kinds
OF transgression and be forgiven if
ne can talk with eloquence. His
style OF public speaking is the florid
kind, filled with metaphors, SMILES.
etc. He does not argue so much as
he rhapsodizes.
InhOspitality is the objectionable
sin to the Kentuckian. He is never
guilty of this offense himself and
can not understand when others
are. He has no word in his idiom
to express ingratitude because il is
something he knows nothing about.
The Kentuckian, whether at home
or abroad, is the soul Of honor. Lit
tleness is as foreign to his soul as
impurity to the sea. He believes
in religion, horse racing, whisky
making and matrimony, and prac-
tees what he believes.

in combating popular supersti-

the old custom of making Friday

month, possibly with an idea of
giving the thirteen superstition a
