A New Pike.

The Fiscal Court is having surveys
and estimates made for the building
of new pike that shall run from the
Hinkston pike to the Owingsville
pike. 1t is proposed that the new
pike shall begin on the Hinkston
pike between the farms of r. B.
Crooks and Ed Shackelford and shall
intersec the Owingsville road at Ew-
ington. The length of the proposed
new road will be about one and
three-quarter miles. This proposed
road is one that is greatly needed for
the convenience of the people in the
section of The county lying east of
town. Men at Ewington, who have
business in the Crooks aud Shackel-
ford neighborhood or beyond, have to
Scome around by Mt. Sterling, a dis
lance of some five miles, and the new
road will reduce this distance they
will have to travel to the same point
to less than two miles. Besides all
this, the people living on the Owings-
vile pike and beyond are complain
ing that they have to pay toll when
the other roads of the county are free.
The new road will give these people
the free travel they are asking for
and to which they are entitled under
the existing condition of the roads in
the other sections of the county. The
owners of the Owingsville and Mt.
Sterling pike and the members of the
Fiscal Court have been unable to
come to any terms for the purchase of
, the road, although they have made q
number of Intellectual attempts to do
80.

You have read how, when he was o
Young man in California, he carried
a revolver in his pocket and prac-

defend himself. You have read how
he accepted challenges to fight duels,
and at one time demanded that the

and his opponent were to be armed
with Colts revolvers and bowie

one Of his deadly enemies was killed

aged justice a few years ago. Justice
Brewer, who, by the way, is a cousin
Of Justice Field, faced death when he
was a boy, in Asia Minor, going with

A good deal has been said about
the youth OF some OF the volunteer
soldiers who responded to the calls
of the president for troops for the
war with Spain. SEVERAL Of these vol

youngest of these 10000 men, but the

longs to Craig Harris, the son OF SEN

volunteers was issued he promptly
enlisted in the First District OF CO.

When hearing that his son had en-
listed Senator Harris was inclined to
interfere on account OF the boys

anxious to go to the war that the
father let him have his way. Craig
Harris was made corporal shortly
after enlising, and has been pro-
NOTED TO be a sergeant in Company

to embark for Cuba or Porto Rico.

SANTIAGO.

The thirst had was two miles long
and half mile twas wide,
And red hot desert wastes of sands
were scorching me inside,
And barbed wire and cactus plants
they lifted half my hide

My gun and carriage belt,

Santiago.
It was our colonel led us on, our cap
tain shouted "gt!"
And as we scrambled upward there
were dozens of us hit,
For down the Mauser blizzard swept
from fort and rifle pit
Upon that spot our colonel lost his
nag, 0!
Yet he ran on before,
An eyeglassed god Of war,
Crying Follow me, brave boys, to
Santiago!"
We burrowed through the thickets,
and the thorns we didn't mind.
The wounded men they cursed be-
cause they had to stay behind,
And when we couldn't see the foe we
still went at him blind
Chasing him from every crest and
crag, o!
And fifty hours Of fight
Went on by day and night,
Before we set foot in Santiago.
Though Spanish dons, they did their
best to entertain us well;
We bore them back before us, with
ringing cheer and rousing yell;
At last old wig-wag in the sky shook
out his flag to tell:
"Our admiral has Cervera in his
bag, O!
When you give up the ghost,
Your chidren's sons may boast,
Our fathers father fought at San
tiago!"

There was a jubilant ring in his
tone that told which way his heart
was inclined, and ten chances to one
he would have tried it over If 1t had
come up tails.
Why? Because the bright particu-
lar light of his life was summering

the magnetic current which radiated
from the person of Miss Edith Van

He must have been or he would have
seen that his charmer was bored with
his attentions and would have retired
after her frequent snubs But love is
proverbially blind or does not wish to
see, and when it came time for his
vacation the young mans heart
yearned for the society of Edith.
nj Unfortunately he was not blessed
with a superabundanc of money and
life at a fashionable summer resort is
not to be thought of without it. In a
quiet boarding house on Staten Island
he could be very comfortable for four
weeks for less money than he could
stay at Seabrght for two. "Better
two weeks of bliss with Edith than
four of lonesome comfort" thought
the young man as he began looking
over his summer wardrobe. As he
packed his trunk visions of dainty
slippers keeping time with his patent
feathers hoated before his miad's eye,

Offices of the Commission and Chief
GarrisOncd by Armed Men.
A dispatch from Omaha Thursday says:
The Omaha city council failed to appoint
a new police commission to-day, as ar
ranged. Attorney General Smythe asked
Mayor Moore to permit him to carry the
case 10 the supreme our at once, and
thus avoid conflicts of police authority
and possible blOodslcd in Omaha. This
course will probably be pursued. In the
meantime the police boards headquarters
and the chiefs office in the city hall are
garrisoned by an armed posse.
Proceedings were brought several DAYS
ago for a writ of m%andamus, directing the
city council to declare vacant the office of
police commissioners who were appointed
by the governor for Omaha and to appoint
a new board. The question was submitted
to Judge Scott of the equity division of the
district court, and he held that the proviso
on the statute under which the governor
names the police commissioners for Omaha
is unconstitutional.
