The Wrong Team.

A resident of the county, named
MIR. Roper, drove to town Saturday
evening and hltched his horse on
Main street. When night came he de-
cided to return home. To use the
slang ex preston he was feeling ''pret-
ty good, !" in fact feeling too good to
recognize his own team. and when he
was ready to go home he got into
buggy standing on the street and
started on his journey. The strange
horse was little more then he could
manage and he took up the whole
street in his travels He struck the
delivery wagon of Little Bro. IS knock
ing couple of spokes out of the
buggy Many people were on the
street and much excitement was caus-
ed. Officer Freeze soon set him
straight again, and told him to get out
of town or he would take care of him
over night and the crowd dispersed.
Mr.. Jacob Myers. to whom the team
belonged, had to go up above Ger
ardstown to recover his team.

SOU fHERN YOUTH NOT SNUBBED

Washington, August 1S.-(Special )-Sec- retary Root has been at work most of the day with his secretary looking over the recommendations from tho governors, sen- ators and members with view to choos- ing officers for ten new regiments. He will have ten majors and most of the captains selected by the end of the week, and will then take up the lieutenants. He has taken the matter of appointments from the adjutant-general's office, though he will rely largely on General Corbin for advice.
 It was reported this morning that the states in the south would not be given a proportionate share of the officers for the reason that they had not given their share of privates. This was denied, and l am able to say that at this time the question of cutting down the souths quota of com missioned officers has not beon seriously considered by either Secretary Root or General Corbln, the suggestion having come merely from some bigoted members of the republican party who claim thai since tho south has not furnished her share of priyates for the Philippines she should not be given her quota of officers
 VIII Have Plenty of Chance
 General Corbin said there would be given plenty of opportunities for the southern youth to enlist for the Philippines if he desired to do so, but as the regiments on the list call to be recruited in Georgia and Texas had mot been fully enrolled 1t is de- cided to place recruiting officers where the best results were to be obtained
 General Corbin further said that two commissioned officers will be given to each regiment that served in the war with Spain,
 Representative Dalzell is in the city to- day. To question as to what he thought of MT. Reed remaining in congress, he said: ''Mr. Reed intends to resign and will do so before the next congress convenes. He will not take his seat in it, feel as- sured," A. W. B.
