Three newspaper men of Louis

book on the political situation in
Kentucky, the remarkable events
of the picturesque campaign for
Governor being so they believe, of
wide interest. They are almost
reaky for press with what they in
tend to be a non partisan account
of the things that have placed Ken

from South Africa. "That Ken

book, has been copyrighted. and
the story will begin with nomina-
tions of candidates by the several
parties and follow their fortunes
up to the present date.

The Fat Man in.the Trolley Car.

A Supreme Court jury has award
ed the sum of So 800 to Gone Mary
Johnsoniss compensslionsdue to her
from the Nassau Railroad Company
for injuries sustained under circum-
stances which are menace to all pa
irons of the road. As result of the
sudden stoppsge of car the plaintiff
was heavily sat upon by a man un-
known to her, but sufficiently ideuti-
fed as being "a veryIfat man"
It Is t3 DE hoped sthat the award
will stand. Obesity is not in itself a
punishable offense, and the law does
not permit the Traction company TO
exclude the fat,man from its cars or

however, does demand, and the de-
mand should be insisted on, that troll

alike of themselves and of the other

BANKRUPTCY LAW ATTACKED.
Effort to BE Made to Have 1t De.
cIared UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. 17.-sult has
been filed here in the federal court by
the Hanover National Bank of New York
attacking the constitutlohaiity of the ma
tional bankruptcy act.
Il is claimed that the act violates the
federal constitution in that it is not uni
form and equally applicable TO all citizens
The objection on this ground is that the
act denies voluntary bankruptcy to cor
porations that are citizens of their respec-
tive states, as much as ordinary citizens,
while permitting all other citizens TO go
into voluntary bankruptcy, and also de-
MES the right to proceed in involuntary
bankruptcy against wage-earners or per-
sons engaged chiefly in farming or the
tlllage of the soil. while allowing involun-
tary proceedings against all other citizens
whether persons or corporations.
II is also alleged that the act is not uni
form as guaranteed by the constitution,
because it allows exemptions 10 debtors in
varying amounts, according TO the law of
the state of the domicie of such debtor.
1t is expected the case will be taken to
