The president Of large telephon'
system has offered to pay million dol
lars for telephone repeater which
would be as efficient in telephony as the
telegraph repeater is in telegraphy.
From the earliest days of the telephone
70 the present time inventors have
sought TO make such repeaters, and rs
early as 1873 it was thought that the
problem had been solved. 1t is prob
able that II such plan is invented, the
experiments leading up TO 1t will be
along entirely new lines, for already a
large number Of trained telephone in

of Adams Creek, who kept fine hog
in a pen near his residence, went one
morning TO cane for his pet pig, and
ON going TO the pen found that bear
had been there during the night and
carried the pig away. Mr.. Thomas, to
give expression to his feelings at the
loss OF his pig, bowed himself down
and in an earnest way prayed that the
bear might be choked to death by the
bones of the pig. The next day Mr..
Thomas had occasion to visit n thick
wood n short distance from his home,
and, to his great delight, found Bruin
stretched out on the ground dead, and
on making an examination found that
be had attempted TO swallow hook

DEATH OF MISS KATIE FOX

The sad death OF Miss Katie Fox last
Friday was shock to her many friends.
Her intellectually and sweet DISPOSE
ton, so feelingly portrayed be Miss FL
vira Sydnor Miller lin the appended ar
ticle) endeared her to those who knew
her best. Her parents and relatives
have the sympathy of host OF friends.
Miss Miller, in the Louisville Times,
thus writes, and her words will find an
echo in many aching hearts:
1.-THE announcement Of the sudden and
sad death of Miss Kate Fox, of Rich
mond, KY, was received with sorrow by
her friends in that city. Miss Fox had
visited here several times and was well
known. At her home in Madison coun-
ty she was delightful hostess, enter
tanning constantly, and her guests were
people from all over the country. Her
father, Mr.. r. P. Fox, ST., is one Of The
best known horsemen in the State, hav-
ing bred and raised a number of swift
trotters, one of them being the crack
DR.. Hooker. Miss Fox was noted for
her quick wit and readiness Of retort.
One can easily understand what loss
the family and friends of this bright
and attractive woman have sustained.
Her many social qualities made her
a welcome guest wherever she went,
and her tenderness and love for chill
dren nlade her host of friends among
the little ones. She constantly had
them to spend the day with her and
never tired of deyisiDg plans for their
entertainment. And now this big-bear-
ed, brilliant woman is no more, and
the days will, indeed, go by like a shadow
on the heart in the old Kentucky home
from which she has departed. To the
parents who mourn her and whose idol
she was comes the sympathy of all who
enjoyed her friendship and enlivening
society in early days. In the little
cemetery at Richmond, where the pine
trees are at home for the winds and
their boughs cast twilight on the
grassy slopes below, no lovelier OF
sweeter sleeper will be laid to rest than
Katherine Fox" Miss Miller has
frequently visited Richmond and was
some years ago a guest of Miss Fox.

JUDGE aoopLoE,s ESCAPE.

On that cold Sunday of last week,
Judge John d. Goodloe, having some
COX in the ditch" task to perform to
save his stock from perishing Iby the
cold, rode out on lis place about mile
from the house. The road was rough
and frozen hard and
: Stumbling in the rugged dell
His gallant steed exhausted fell"
The Judges right leg was caught be
meath the animal and pinned him to
the hard earth. With excruciatine
pain and prone to the ground he quickly
reflected that he must by al means
catch his horse before it could rise and
escape or else he would be left in dan.
ger of death by freezing as be was far
from home, the ground rough, and his
limb possibly broken. These gloomy
thoughts passed in quick review before
his mind, and as the horse struggled
to his feet the Judge seized the bride
and thus secured MIN. By dint Of great
effort he remounted and slowly rode
home. The Judge is able TO be out but
is very lame. Remembering the in
tense cold of that memorable Sunday
it is not too much to say that had the
Judge not caught his horse he would
have frozen before he could have
crawled home.
