One morning while we were at
breakfast one OF our herdsmen brought
the news that our cattle, which Craze
in the tall grass on the other side OF
the river, had been attacked by q
jaguar that had killed one Of the bulls.
The man who told us this had escaped

beast or had there not been a fat OK
there.
A week passed without new alarm,
and we had come 10 think less about

rushed in to tell us how a great jaguar
had broken into their camp and killed
a woman and one Of their dogs.
When my husband heard the story,
he judged that 1t was the same ami

Indians described 1t AZ creature OF
singular color, far lighter than any
they had seen about there, 80 that they
named 1t ''The White Death"
We all thought Il high time to do
something, and my husband called his
people together to go out and hunt the
animal.
l remember that morning distinctly.
They went away checrfully enough,
each man with his gun and hunting
knife, and Moro, our bloodhound, was
with them. My husband turned around
just as he entered the wood and kissed
his hand to me. Then he and his COM

A curious case came up the other
day before the court In Caroline coun-
ty, Md, when an ancient resident was
charged with the larceny Of nine eggs.
Extra jurors had to be summoned, and
1t cost the county $3.50 to try the case.
The accused was seventy-three years
old. His counsel said he had known
the defendant for forty years, and it
was incredible that he would steal
eggs, He argued that anyhow the
state had not shown that the eggs
were sound, and nine rotten eggs
would have no value at all. The jury

served or it would not have come alike
from each aud all of them.
He has felt that it was entirely reason
able and in every sense democratic that
he should appeal to the Democratic
voters to endorse his course by re-elect-
ing him as the standard-bearer of the
party for that Office. Mr.. Oldham
pledges himself to the people that if re-
elected he will continue to earnestly en-
deavor to keep up the present high
standard of the Office and to so conduct
it as to continue to receive and merit the
approval of those who know its condi-
tons.
1t is necessarily impossible for Mr..
Oldham to visit all his Democratic
friends because the duties of the Office
require much of his time. but lie begs to
assure them, as we'll as those with whom
he is not acquainted, that their vote for
him in the coming primary will be duly
appreciated, and that he will so conduct
himself and his Office as to merit their
confidence in the future.

His Work as City Court Clerk

Certain.

ALT V. Oldham has announced himself
as candidate for reelection to the
office, which he now holds as Clerk of
the Police Court of Louisville. He has
endeavored earnestly during the term
which he is now filling to discharge the
duties of the Office in way which would
meet with the approval of the officers
of the court and of all the people who
have occasion to investigate or know the
condition of the office. Mr. Oldham is
naturally very proud of the fact that
every Judge who has occupied the bench
of the court during his term, irrespective
of their politics, have given hearty COM
mendation and approval to his course as
Clerk. No official could receive higher
praise than has been given him by His
Honor Judge R. H. Thompson, His
Honor ]. w. MCGEE, and His Honor
R. M. Buckley, and the people may feel

were elated when Edward B. easier,
candidate for County Assessor, rendered
him the position of Deputy if successful
at the November election. Mr.. Kindri-
gan was born in this city and received
his education at the Cathedral school.
His past experience peculiarly fits HIM
for the duties incumbent upon deputy,
and the taxpayers will find in him a
competent and faithful official. Mr..
Kindrigans name will make many votes
for his chief before the primary takes
place. He is making a digniied but
energetic canvass and feels confident OF
success.

cinct Committeeman from the Seventh
Ward Dennis Collins is resident Of
that section of the city known as LINZ
erick, and his young Irish friends will
see that Benson Herr will not suffer from
selecting him as one of his deputies.
Benson o. Herr possesses all the quail
fications necessary for irst-class As-
SCISSOR of Jefferson County, having been
connected with the County Clerks Office
for several years, aud the close relations
between the two offices have made him
familiar with the duties of the Assessor.
Besides the foregoing Mr.. Herr will have
associated with him five of the depptie
now serving under Billy Semoniu, the
present Assessor, which should serve as a
guarantee to the taxpayers and real
estate people that the Office will be kept
up to its present standard of efficiency.
