since Abraham Lincoln. 1t is the embodiment

A telegraphic code and key, found in the Adjutant Generals office, was also intro- duced One of the letters was marked at the end "Conidential" and another con taned the expression, Burn this up."
 Ex-Governor Brown raised a point of etiquette over the action of General Mur- ray in reading them when they were not addressed to him and were also confiden- tial
 w P. Reeder of Knox County saw Charles Finley at the depot at Barbourville on the evening of January 23 when the crowd of mountaineers was being made up to go to Frankfort. Witness asked Finley If Goebel would not be killed. Finley re- piled with a gesture that he would not be surprised. Witness asked how soon he would be, and Finley replied that it would possibly happen in less than five days. Witness had prepared to go to Frankfort with the crowd, but Finley commanded him to remain at home. Witness said the con- versation with Finley took place in the presence of Wharton Golden.
 Wade H. Watts, one of the janitors in the Adjutant's building, said that on Sunday before the shooting the day of the Van Metre-B Berry contest, Green Golden, Lieu tenant Ricketts and others were in the building. One of them said there was likely to be fight any minute. Green Golden said they should be prepared to stand off the police and a sentinel was placed outside to watch the gate Repre- sentative Lilly came into the office and one of the men told him that signal shot was to be fired in the house, that the Republ- can members should not rise from their seats, that the Democrats would rise up in the seats and that the men in the lob bies would be shot down.
 Wanted cs. imonv Expunged
 Ex-Governor Brown of the defense asked that this part of the testimony be expunged on the ground that the identity of the party said to have made the statement was not established Witness said he did not know the name of the man talking. but knew his face we'll and knew that he was one of the mountain men who arrived Jan uary 25. Mr. Hendricks, of the prosecu : ton objected to the remarks of Governor Brown, saying that they were meant for the jury and not for the court. This drew from Governor Brown a vehement dis claimer that he had meant to influence the jury, and added that he would be glad If the jury was withdrawn when points of this character were being argued
 The court ruled that the evidence was competent. On the day of the assassina tion, witness said he was in the barber shop in the basement of the executive building. Immediately after the shooting,

BELIEVE GIRLS is NO USE"

Shrewsbury Park and Maplewood boys
have developed something entirely new in
the nature of boy life. 1t is an anti-mat-
rimonial society. 1t Is a common thing for
blase bachelors to form such an organi-
zation. but for boys, not older than 10. such
an institution is departure The whole
ground for taking such radical step is.
according 20 the boys. that girls is no
use"
Some little while ago boys Of Maplewood
organized what they called the Tip Top
League. This was to be a literary organi-
zation. and was intended 10 procure. as a
club. all sorts of thrilling stories by land
and sea- at an expense that would be small
per capita This dragged along for awhile
and then died out.
II happened that early last week some
of the ex-Tip Top Laguers. and a few
others from Shrewsbury PSrk. met to-
-ether at an afternoon game of rounds
ms" When ball playing lost its attractive
ness. they sat them down TO talk. Inevita-
bly,. the opposite sex cTept into the con-
veUsation. only to be maligned, however. by
all present. IL was discovered that girls
mUf balls" and that they cant throw
worth a cOnfCund'' and that they were gen.
eral ''soOdy-sOOdles." not worthy of a man >
consideration.
Having noticed that the sentiment on this
point was unanimous. Virgil Bragdon OF
Shrewsbury Park came up with the sug-
ccStiOn that an anti-matrinonial society bo
formed. This plan was Endorsed all around.
on the spot each Of the fifteen or twenty
youngsters swore To haze nothing TO do
with girls. never 10 even look at them.
much less carry their books home from
school. or 10 perform any OF the other
couTtesies. which they may have been accus-
toned 20 doing. They swore not TO do any
al these things. and for marrying n
ciri. even though IL were five. ten or twenty
years from the date OF the compact. they
made the most sacred oaths that never.
never. would they descend to such a thing.
EragGCn was made president of the novel
organization. and youth named Sapp
secretary. Their terms of Office are TO last
a year. when there will be another election.
and the rest viii have chance.
In regard to their new club the boys
are very retic.nt. On heing asked questions
about il. they answer consistently "shucks.'
The only positive reply received was 10
the question: Have any of the boys con-
;enpiated matrimony?' The response was
very brief and TO the point. and was eX-
pressed in 4 tone of the greatest contempt.
IL simply was. Not on yer life
