AIR LINE LIMIT Is UPHELD
Excise Board Makes Answer to the
Sheehy Mandamus Suit.
Alleged Practice of Measuring Dis
Shortest Routes Is Denied.

Denial that the distance from Soldiers
Horls, within which by the "mile-llmit" law
1t is made Illegal to sell liquor, should be
measured over usually travelled routes and
not by an air line, W as made by the excise
board yesterday in an answer filed through
Attorneys S. 7. Thomas and a 3. Duvail
10 the mandamus suit brought by Henry
shoehy.
They deny that their rejection of the
realtors application for alicense was based
upon an erroneous conclusion of law, or
that the relator's place of business should
have been measured by the shortest course
OF travel between the nearest entrance to
his Place OF business and the nearest bound
aTy line OF Soldiers Home.
1t is denied that it has been the Uniform
practice of the excise board to measure
the distarce between Soldiers Home and
proposed liquor locations by the shortest
course Cf travel, but, on the contrary, al
lege that the practice has been to meas
uTe in straight or air line; that the prac-
ticc as to schools aud churches has been
TO measure by the shortest course of
travel, the act Of March 3, 1893, pre-
scribing the method of computing such dis
taDces.
The answer goes on to state that under
act OF Congress, February IS, 1891, it was
the opinion Of the then attorney for the
District. approved by the Commissioners
and acted upon by the excise board, that
the ground within which liquor ihould
not be sold embraced all that territory
situated between the extension or boundary
lire of the Soldiers Home property and the
line circumscribing the same one mile
didant
II states that this was in force when the
act of Congress of March 8, 1891, was
passed, and it was not the intention of
Congress. the respondents aver and believe
to extend or enlarge the liquor traffic in
the District by reducing the area Of the
prohibited territory surrounding Soldiers
Home; but, that, on the contrary. the act
of February %, 1891, is expressly re-
feired to in the concluding section of the
act Of March B, 1898, and is preserved
from modification or repeal.
1t is therefore prayed that the rule to
show cause why license should not be
granted the Telator be dismissed.

COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute Inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell. This organ is long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of the Nasal passage In folds, as
seen in Fig. 3. When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it Is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into q solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them hence
the loss of smell. The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing q
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, head
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonsIls havs
become a corrupt mass of ulcers. 1t not
infrequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.

RHEA AGAINST BRADLEY.
If Hunter is Elected Contest for
His Seat Will be Dropped.

Frankfort, KY, March 28-
Congressman Rhea, of the Third
District, has wired the Third
District Democrats in the Legis-
lature. urging them not to vote
for Bradley for Senator. A big
delegation of Democratic politi-
clans from the Third District,
among whom were Mr.. A. B.
Rhea, Hon. Wilbur r. Brodler,
Judge J. G. Sims. Sheriff Mason,
Mr.. Rodes, and Hon. G. w. Nc
Elroy have been here working
openly in the interest of Hunter.
They say that if a Republican is
to be elected at all. they want
Hunter elected. as by putting
him in the Senate, his contest
against Rhea in the House would
be dropped. On the other hand,
it is said Senators James aad
Jones, Republicans. have been
assured by Hunter that he would
press his contest against Rhea,
and should he gain the seat,
would resign thus giving each
of them an opening in the special
Congressional election which
would follow.
If Hunter does not win by
Thursday Judge w. Fl. Holt will
be sprung as the Republican can
didate and will be supported by
the full Republican vote and at
least six sound money Demos
Gratis. A. deal has been effected
between the Republican leaders
and sound money Democrats.
Hunters leaders acquiescing, in
which Judge Holt is to be subs
stituted for Hunter if the latter
does not win by that time, The
Republicans in turn will indorse
the gold Democrats nominee
for Clerk of the Court Of Appeals
next fall. Gov. Bradley and his
faction have also given assur-
ances that they will support
Holt.
A large number Of legislators
and politicians who had spent
Sunday at home returned to~
night, and the situation again
became full of interest. Mr. Sam
J. Roberts, late chairman of the
Republican Campaign Commit
tee, arrived from Lexington tos
night, and was ushered into a
conference with ex Secretary of
State Sam M. Taylor, of Ohio,
which lasted till a late hour. The
conference is supposed to have
related to the dual subject of
Hunters election, if possible, and
the substitution of a new candi-
date if Hunter does not win on
the next ballot or two. The anti
Hunter men in the Legislature
gave out d statement tonight exs
planning more fully the grounds
of their opposition to Hunter.
The anti-Hunter leaders claim
to~night that they will have one,
and probably two, accessions
from the Hunter ranks to NOR
row. At any rate, an election on
to-morrow's ballot is not consids
cred possible.
