In speaking of the Canadian troops
in South Africa we are apt to think of
them as being exclusively either of
British or Of French descent, says the
London Chronicle. This, however, is
by no means the case. The aboriginal
inhabitants of the western plains are
also very strongly represented in the
persons of the half-breeds who bear
nnmistakable evidences of their Indian
ancestry. OF these by far the best
known is Mr. Jefferson Davis whose
father, Mr. D., w. Davis, was formerly
member of the Canadian Parliament,
and is now Commissioner of Customs in
the Yukon; while his mother was
daughter of Crowfoot, the famous chief
of the Blackfoot nation. Mr. Davis is
Intensely proud of his Indian blood, but
is quite alive to the advantages of civ
ilization, and has had the best educa-
tion that the Canadian universities can
give. He is serving in the Second Ca
madam Rifles, now attached to General
Ian Hamilton's force"

AS result OF quarrel over some
chickens which refused to lay eggs, two
residents Of Coffeyville, Kansas have
become involved in remarkable law
suit. Jason Brophy, the plaintiff, AYERS
that his neighbor, Needham Weeks,
presented him ten hens and two ROSTERS
in February last and assured him that
the hens would lay upwards of sixty
eggs a week. Brophy fed and cared
for the chickens for ten weeks, "devot-
ing most of his time to them, to the
detriment of other interests" but the
hens failed to lay any eggs. The plain
tiff alleges that he was unlawfully de-
ceived by the defendant and seeks to re-
cover 800 damages for his wasted labor
and for his expenditures for chicken
feed.

wheat to feed six men will produce
enough bananas to feed apne hundred

The electric light is used now in near
" all of the iute-mills in India. This
state of affairs was brought about by
the working people, who found that
they could work overtime under much
better conditions and with increased
pay in mills which were electrically
lighted, and focked to those employing
that system in such numbers that other
mills had to introduce the light into
their Workrooms.

The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1900-01-10

A GREAT many Democrats have grave
doubts as to the wisdom Of Mr.. Goebel
pushing his contest for Governor before
the Legislature. They think that, mas
much as the Democratic Board OF Com
missioneIs saw proper to declare Mr.
Taylor elected on the face OF the returns,
this should end the matter. This is MIR.
Watterson's view, who was warm adyo-
cate of Mr.. Goebel. Mr.. Watterson's
suggestions in this regard are worth
something because Of his great expert
ence in political affairs and his thorough
knowledge Of public men, But 1t is
hardly probable that those who have
things in hand in and about Frankfort
will do anything other than fight it out
on the lines already given out, it matters
not who might suggest different course.

be surprised and grieved to learn OF her
death which occurred at Jesse Mays,
near Garfield, last Tuesday night. Mrs.
Mays illness was Of short duration, but
che was prepared to meet the messenger
when the summons came She and her
husband and child had gone 10 Mr..
Macy's to spend the holidays, and she
became i'll while there. The death OF
Mrs. Macy was great shock TO her hus-
band, who had no intimation that the
end was near. Together they had planned
and worked and built them a comforta-
BILE little home in the country, and, being
out of debt, hoped to enjoy 1t together
for many years
The contest on the local-option fight
will be heard here the third Monday in
this month. The matter will come be-
fore the County Board Of Elect n Com
missionerp viz; Tice jolly, Taylor Beard
and John Jennings. Both sides are ar
ranging for pretty warm fight. The
contest comes up on the vote being taken
in the district as a whole, and not by
precincts, as first ordered by the County
Court. The local-option people, who won
their fight by a decisive majority, say
that the objections coming from the
saloon people are merely technical, and
that they will not amount to anything.
They nave employed some strong legal
talent to put the matter through, and if
defeated before the County Board, the
case will be appealed.
