Mountain Feud.

The history of the Baker Howard
feud which assumed such large and
dangerous proportions as to cause
State troops to be sent to Manchester,
Ky. for the protection of the court,
IS one OF the most interesting in the
annals of mountain wars. The men
engaged In this feud are descendants
of the same pioneers. Their ancestors

years. Many of the families have In.

about thirty of the Turner faction in

afterward legally hanged after he had
boasted of killing ten men with his
own hand. There is Wilson Howard

so unfortunate as to fall early in the
fight. Old man \. Il. or Bal Howard,

Facts About Cuba's Climate.

The weather bureau at Washington
has completed n valuable treatise on
the climate of Cuba, which furnishes
definite figures in support of the con
tention that the bugaboo of the rainy
season in Cuba is largely imaginary.
The average temperature at Havana
during June, July, and August Is only
50 degrees-the same as that at New
Orleans, and only seven degrees more
than at Washington. In fact, Wash
ington has hotter days than Havana
ever has. Havana's hottest is 100 de-
grees, while Washington's is 104 de-
grees. The average yearly rainfall at
Havana is considerably less than at
New Orleans, being 51.73 inches,
against the Louisiana city's 60.52
inches. Even in the so-called rainy
season. which began with May and will
end with September, the rainfall at
Havana is only 32.37 inches, as against
New Orleans 27 inches. AS much rain
frequently falls in the dry season as In
the so-called rainy period. The rela-
tive humidity Of the atmosphere ap-
pears to be fairly constant and aver
ages only about 10 per cent of satura-
tion.-Chicago Tribune.

When James B. Howard, who was in
town, heard of the shooting he was al
most crazy with excitement. and, al
though his friends begged him not to
go to the scene of the killing some SIX
miles away he got his horse and gal
loped toward the place. When nearly
there he stopped at Murray's store,
where persons were buying grave
clothes for Store and Howard, and for
the first time heard that his father
was not dead, but he was told by the
doctor who attended him that he could
not get well. Rushing out of the store,
intent on going to the side of his faith
er and his dead brother, he met old
man George Baker face to face. With
out stopping to consider that he was
in no danger from the old man who
had tried so hard to make peace, and
who never carried pistol, young
Howard leveled his gun at Baker and
shot him dead. After staying short

Not paying for It, suit was brought ana
Judgment rendered. Before Baker
bought the Judgment he had gone INTO
partnership with A. b. Howard
through his sons Israel and Carter, VINO
were made parties to the contract III
order that none of Hownrd's creditors
could levy on his logs. Thus, when
his own partner tried to get the better
of him. as he considered it, old man
Howard became very angry, and there
were some sharp words between Tom
Baker and the Howards. Howard re"
fused point blank to pay the Judgment
and Baker levied on the logs, as the
partnership papers had not been made
out. Howard fought him In magiS-
trate's court. but through the influence
of Bakers father n compromise was
effected. and it looked as II there would
be no further blood-lettlng.

mise was made, and Tom received two
slight flesh wounds, which soon healed.
Several days after the compromise old
man Howard found Tom Baker Mt the
log pit taking out undivided logs. They
quarreled and Baker drew pistol and
threatened TO shoot Howard on the
spot. Howard was unarmed and he
soon talked Baker out of the notion of
shooting. As Howard walked away,
however, Baker threw an auger at him.

They talk about him, they say he is cute, and what they don't say in woman's own peculiar complimentary way could hardly be found between the covers of a regulation Web ster This individual who will make his appearance for six night and five matinee performances, beginning Monday night, Is Punch Robertson, and he comes this year more fully prepared to please than ever before. His supporting company this sea- son is larger, made upu of more artists who are artists in their lines, and stronger than any ever surrounding a star of his class. In addition to this he is carrying a man. moth car of new scenery and every play produced will be with it's own special scenic effects. Still another feature is the spec ialities and among these is the "Dixle Four" the wonder quartette, which is charming audiences at every performance.
 The Lyceum entertainments will be given at Seals hall again this season, and as the seating capacity is limited, only 250 mem- berships can be sold. The prospects are that all these will be sold by the time the course commences next Tuesday, October 4. If 250 memberships are taken no admis- sions to single lectures can be sold non members, because two admissions with each membership will fill 300 seats, and there are only 572 seats in the hall.

FEAST OF BOOTHS,
When Many of the Jewish People Will
 Live in Tents.

The Jewish citizens will, at sundown to- day, begin the celebration of the 'sFeast of Booths" which lasts eight days, concluding with the Festival of Rejoicing
 Service will be held at Temple Emanua al at night. The feast does not really begin until Saturday, but it is customary to hold services on the evening previous. The service will be made doubly interesting from the fact that the Scottish Rite Ma sons will hold their annual celebration on the same occasion.
 Rabbi Newfield will deliver an address which will be followed by appropriate re- marks from pr. J. H. Phillips, venerable master of the Scottish Rite Masons. It Is by strange coincidence that the annual celebration of the Masons falls on the same date as the eve of the Feast of Booths."
 This feast is a very solemn and impress sive occasion with the Israelites. It is for the purpose of reminding them when their ancestors were in the wilderness and were forced to live in booths. To make the oc- casion more vivid, many of them will erect booths or tents in their yards and occupy them until the limit of the feast expires.
 Services will also be held at Temple Emanuel Saturday morning at 10 o'clock The feast closes with a season of great re- joicing on October S.

THROWN FROM
 MOVING CARS Fate of Ernest Schoenherr at
 OxnO0r. NECK BROKEN BY THE FALL Was Riding on Top of Box Cars and Hit Steam Pipe That Extend ed Across the Rail-
 way Tracks.
NECK BROKEN BY THE FALL

Ernest Schoenherr was knocked from moving freight cars at Oxmoor and crushed to death Wednesday afternoon.
 Schoenherr was IT years of age and the son of MT and Mrs. Gus Schoenherr, who reside at Oak Grove, not far distant from Oxmoor. His father is boss in the furnace stock house at night and the young man Is employed in the day time. It happened that Wednesday he was not working. He was walking about over some freight cars that were being switched out of the yards. He failed to see steam pipe which extends across the tracks and barely gives room for the cars to pass under without touching. Many times before Ernest had seen the pipe, but it seemed that on this occasion his attention was on something else. The cars were going at a rate of several miles an hour and in the fall his neck was broken, and the wheels of several cars passed over his body, mangling it fright fully.
 He was quite popular at Oxmoor and a large crowd gathered yesterday at the fu- neral services.
