MOZART HALL.
At Mozart hall last night the German
Theater- company presented a triple bill
to large and appreciative audience.
There were both tragedy and comedy
and all patrons were pleased with the
originality and spirit of the work done
by the performers.
The first presented was short tragedy
by Heyse, entitled 'Ehrenschulden, the
title defined in English meaning Debts
OF Honor" The next was comedy en-
titled. .'Burgruine." meaning Ruins of
a Castle" The piece is by a favorite
German comedy drama writer named
caro-, and was probably better appreci
ated by the audience last night than any
play of its class presented in this city.
The performance terminated with q
grotesquely absurd and amusing farce
comedy entitled I'm CIVIL" meaning I'm

author. Taken in its entirety the per-
formance entertained the patrons thor

Next Sunday evening the four-act
drama "Jugenfreunde" will be presented.

The Blue and the Gray.

By the flow of the inland river,
Whence the fleets of iron have fed,
Where the blades of the grave grass quiz er,
Asleep ranks of the dead;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day
Under the one the Blue;
Under the other the Gray.
These in the robngs of glory.
Those in the gloom of defeat,
All with the battle-blood CORY,
In the dusk of eternity meet;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day
Under the laurel, the Blue;
Under the willow, the Gray.
From the silence of sorrowful hours
The desolate mOurners CO.
Lovingly laden with flowers
Alike for the friend and the foe;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day
Under the roses, the Blue;
Under the lilies, the Gray.
So with an equal splendor
The morning sun-rays fall,
With a touch mpartally tender,
On the blossoms blooming for all;
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day
'Broidered with gold, the Blue;
MeIlowed with gold, the Gray.
So when the summer calIeth
On forest and field of grain
With equal murmur falleth
The cooling drip of the rain;
OHdeI the sou ana the ueW,
Waiting the Judgment Day
Wet with the rain, the Blue;
Wet with the rain, the Gray.
Sadly, but not with upbrading
The generous deed was done;
In the storm of the years that are fading,
No Drawer battle was won;
Under the sod and the. dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day
Under the blossoms, the Blue;
Under the garlands, the Gray.
No shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding rivers be red;
They Danish anger forever
When they laurel the graves of de adj
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the Judgment Day
Love and tears for the Blue;
Tears and love for the Gray

1t IS stated here the question of the
V1ce-presidential nomination has assumed
proportions of a free-for-au fight and
friends of the several candidates are
Whooping things up each for his favorite.

not be made without a severe contest.

Tags when it is time for the delegates
10 decide upon vice-presidentiaI candi-
GATE and the voting is more or less per-
functory. Not so will it be this year.
The convention to be held in Philadel-
phia next month will make choice from
not less than half score of avowed as
pirants, and there is likely to be more
than that number of names formally pre-
sentea- The delegates are human, and 1t
is not unnatural that they shall want
some fun For their money The renomin-
alton of President Mckinley will occupy
only the time necessary for the nomin-
ating and -seconding speeches. There will
be no calling of the roll of states for a
vote. A delegate will move for a sus-
pension of the rules, there will be a roar
ing chorus Of yeas and President Nc
Kinley, intiless time than it takes to tell,
will again be declared the standard-bear-
er of his partyio The whole thing can be
dispatched within an hour.
NO sensible observer of the trend of ma

Welt will be able to cut much of figure

bition, as is charged, to cause trough

same time, no one who knows Gov.

OUR NEW COLUMN.

Our new column devoted to the
interests and doings OF the farm women
OF Breckenridge county is edited
by Mrs. Lucy Cleaver McElroy, OF Leba-
non, KY. Mrs. McElroy is bright, cul-
tivated woman and her advice and sug-
gestions are founded on large expert
ence in practical farming.
Heretofore the farmers, the male
members OF the family, have received
the lion share of our attention but it has
been borne in upon US that the wives,
mothers and daughters, the ones who
raise the chickens, make the butter,
cook the meals and in every way keep
the machinery Of the farming household
in running order, deserve more space
and encouragement. If the farmer is
the backbone Of the country, the farm
woman is the heart and soul OF it, and as
such she deserves the highest praise and
commentator.
1t is our desire with the aid OF Mrs.
McElroy's iacile pen 10 print from time
to time such ideas and suggestions that
will be helpful to this class OF our
readers and that will enable them to

STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

The State Teachers Association, which
met in Louisville during the holidays,
brought together in that profession some
OF the brightest minds in the State,
masters in learning, masters in the
schoolroom and lovers of that which
seeks to elevate and inspire the best
thought within us.
Looking over the list Of delegates, we
saw that western Kentucky had fairly
good representation. Meade, BrecKen-
ridge, Ohio, Grsyson and many OF the
counties surrounding us were represented
by men well up in the art Of teaching.
This speaks well for our section and in
dictates healthy sentiment on the sub
ject of education.
Already in the counties above named
there are colleges Of tirst-class order.
1t Is true that they are small as con-
pared with some others, but they are
coming into notice. The teachers in
charge OF them are branching out and
trying to do something to make the in
situations permanent.
At Hardinsburg we have the Brecken-
ridge Normal, which has been running
about ten years, and it seems to be a
success. In Ohio county they have a
fine school also.
The professors at the head OF these
schools cannot be expected to do it all,
however. They must have the assist
snce and cooperation OF the people at
home if the schools become success.
II is a mistaken idea that the boy or
girl must be sent away from home to get
a finished education. Let him patronize
his home college, and the chances are
that he will fare about as well. More
time is gwen him by the teachers, and it
is to their interest to see to it that he
gets what be pays for. Sending
the boy from home makes a larger ex-
pense, an important matter to be consid-
cred. Then we need to build up good
institutions of learning at home. There
is nothing which adds more to the cult
walton and refinement of our rising gen.

WHY CAN'T WE?
Grafton.

OSE of the most unique specimens of
newspaper work that has ever come into
this Office is a copy Of the Brownstown
Banner, published at Brownstown, Jack
son county, Indiana. 1t is trade edi-
ton and is printed on brown paper, the
first finished product OF the Brownstown
Strawboard and Paper Factory, recently
established industry which stands as a
monument to the business enterprise Of
the men of Brownstown and farmers of
central and western jackson county.
This lucrative addition to Brownstown,
village OF $500 people, is due to the
enthusiasm and hustle of one man, a
railroad official, and the history OF his
efforts and final success make a readable
column in the Banner. Another inter
esting contributor to this issue is the
Rev. S. Q. Bates, former citizen Of this
place, who writes history of the past
years progress in Brownstown.

is one OF the able articles published in

paper should be filed with the comings
and goings Of the neighbors and friends;
in fact, should be coy corner In which
we can find in detail what our home
people are doing in social and business
way. l believe that the editorial column
should be taken up with articles for the
general welfare and progress of our home
people. When we do this conscienti-
ously and ill our columns with all the
news Of our county, however trivial it
may sound to strangers, believe the re-
suit will be a large circle Of interested
