1t, has made it's report, or verdict,
10 which they claim that General
Miles charges have not been sus.
tanned. Newspaper readers have
long since been persuaded that
there was an immense amount of
unwholesome beef furnished, that
II made the soldiers sick. but who
was at fault about II was not so
clear. This Cour, Of Inquiry ex.
press the opinion that the beef
was furnished In good condition,
but that the climate and impossi
bility Of handling It properly by
army was the cause Of not pre-.
serving 1t 10 wholesome con dition.
Therefore, no one was distinctly
to blame for it. The report is a |
condemnation Of the Commander. |
in.Chief. and sustsins the Com.
missary Department.
There appears to have been,
from the beginning Of the war. an
ugly feeling between Gen. Miles
aud the Secretary of War, and
many believe these charges to be
the outgrOwtb Of this antagonism.
Some newspapers think that Gen.
Miles will be relieved of his posi-
ton.

Seventeen farmers from below New
Madrid, Mo, were arrested and carried
to st. Louis last week, by United
States Marshal and deputies, to be ar
raigned before the u. s. Court on the
charge of cutting the Mississippi levee
below New Madrid. The story Of their
offending is that they cut the levee IN
order to allow the sipe water to run off
their land. The sipe water had risen
while the water was high and there
was no way for it to run ont when the
1ver went down, except by the slow
process of percolation through the
ground.
The demand for better roads has
become SO general throughout Ken.
lucky that there is good reason for be-
lieying that the next session of the leg
lslature will provide some means of
relief from the burdens imposed by the
existing road laws, and many candi-
dates are basing their CLAIMS for votes
upon their advocacy Of good roads. Few
of them, however, seem to have any
definite idea Of the provisions which
they would embody in the desired law,
and in this connection it would be
well for them to study the results pro.
duced by similar legislation in other
states.

A DECISION on phase of the
whisky question that will be Of
general interest, was handed down
last week By the Court of Appeals
10 q case appealed from Mercer
county. The question involved
was whether the County Court
had the ripht to order an election
on the liquor question in the city
Of Harrodsburg within three years
from the time Q similar election
had been held In the county. The
vote was taken IN the county De-
cember b, 1906. aud the majority
was against it's sale. A vote was
taken in the city Of HarrOdsbure
on May 10, 1898. The lower court
held that the city could hold an
election on the question at any
time independent OF the county
action, and this judgment was
affirmed.
