achievements of the United States
navy in the campaign in the West In

war; of these one is to be known as
the battle medal, and the other as the

at Ponce, or at San Juan, or at Ma
tanzas or at Cardenas, or off Cienfue-
gos. or to the fortunate few who were
in all of these battles.
The board stated that It placed
SIMPSONS head upon the medal be-
cause he was commander-in-chief of
the West Indian squadron. as the head
or Dewey was placed on the Manila
medal. But the medal will not be
known as the Santiago medal in par
ticular, for the reason that it will bear
upon the reverse the name of the de-
cisive battle in which the recipient
participated. The additional battles
will be represented by separate bars
attached to the suspending ribbon, the
latter red, white, and blue, one bar
for each battle. Thus in the case Of
an officer like Wainwright. who figur-
will be almost as conspicuous as the
medal. The Sampson portrait is in
profile taken from likeness made

inscription reads: United States
Naval Campaign In the West Indies.

American eagle over a design in oak
leaves. The reverse of the medal
marks the governments recognition Of

Beginning to be Serious.

Report from Woodford county
says that cattle are dying fIom a
disease the cause of which is a
mystery. Most of the cattle af-
fected have been fed upon corn fod-
der and the first theory was that
they were poisoned by corn smut
which is present upon the stalks in
unusually large quantities this
year. Another belief was that the
animals died from eating too much
dry feed without enough salt and
water, but cattle have recently died
that had access to both salt aud
water.
The farmers are completely in
the dark about the matter and the
individual losses are beginning to

In three steps efforts have been
made to close the Schley contro-
versy, though it may be forced
farther against the wishes Of the
President, War and Navy Depart
ments. all of whom are now con-
cerned. Secretary Long has ap-
proved the findings of the majori-
ty of the Court of Inquiry, and
his action strikes from the record
the dissenting views Of Admiral
Dewey and also the statement
therein that Schley was in COM
mand at Santiago. The War De-
partment administered to Lieut..
Gen. Miles severe reprimand for
his interview in which he said the
people accepted the judgment Of
Admiral Dewey, and from which
he refuses to recede. The Presi-
dent ordered the removal of Edgar
5. Maclay, author of the scurri-
lous attacks upon Schley, because
of his boasting interview of vindi-
cation when the findings of the
Court Of Inquiry were made pub
lie. 1t is intimated by Isidor Ray
ner, counsel forISchley, that if the
President does not intervene to
save Schley from the stigma that
the perpetuation of the majority
finding alone would leave, the
courts might be called upon to
compel the recording also of Dew
ey's dissent and findings.

Coming Session.

The 55th General Assembly of
Kentucky Legislature will convene
Jan. 9th. There are many items of
interest to be considered during the
sixty working days allowed by the
Constitution for the work of this
body. Two political parties com
pose this body. OF the 1873 men
composing the Assembly "a of the
lower house and rs of the upper are
Democrats and 26 of the House and
13 of the Senate Republicans. 1t
is therefore evident how all political
matters will be settled. The Sena-
t0rial race, 1t is hoped, will be set
tied in great haste and it now ap
pears that McCreary is the peoples
choice and that the representatives
will settle the matter accordingly.
AS to how the masses of Montgom-
cry and Menefee are we have no
doubt The people would vote
were this matter up to them for
McCIeory first, and So it would be
if the people of Montgomery, Clark
and Bourbon had the same privi-

British Artillery to be With

The War Office of England has
decided to withdraw twenty batter

at once. This action is taken on
the ground that under the present

rather hindrance re mobility mc55:ll;:ssy; and

The Navy Department has taken
the initial steps toward the adoption
of wireless teIegraphy as means
of signaling between warships at
sea- To this end Rear Admiral
Bradford, Of tbs Bureau Of Equip
ment, has asked that the armored
cruisers of the Pennsylvania class
nave their masts and rigging so ar
ranged that the wireless system can
be introduced.
The British navy already has a
number of its ships equipped with
the wireless system, but this is the
first move on the part of the Amer

There is a pretty little story as
to Governor Cranes reason for re.
fusing place iu President Roose-
velt's cabinet, says the Atlanta
Constitution. The reason assign
ed by the Governor was sickness
ia his family and inability to ar
range his affairs on short notice.
1t is said the real reason was the
unwillingness of Governor Crane
to leave his mother, who is very
old, and who does not wish to go to
W !" asifington 10 live. When she
was asked if she wanted her son to
become member of the cabinet
she said she did not, and that set
tied it.
After all, could dutiful son
done less? The honors of office
are but baubles, and not to be com
pared with a mothers love. Men
are too prone to forget the old
folks in the struggle for place and
power. 1t is refreshing TO read of
an instance like this, where man
puts his mothers preference al owe
his own.
"Honor thy father and thy
mother" is one of the most beauti
full laws ever written, and It should
be so deeply engraved upon the
heart that neither age, nor ambi
tion, nor desire for wealthlcan OBJ

ELECTRIC ROADS.

In some of our smaller cities

main and only one worthy of Sc

that the larger city would get the

the result from electric roads. Be

in and going out because Louis

new ones, the main street is OF

per cent. and the people are eager
for an electric road with less rates
and more frequent trips. telephone
exchanges, etc. We are inform
ed that that county has at least
400 subscribers to various systems

road from Mt. Sterling to Lex

you may say good bye to our, bus
mess. The road was built; what |
about our business? Later the
question Of extending the road
came up. The same argument
was used, and instead of hurting
business it helped it again. Then
we payed large subscriptions for
roads, and to-day we would not
for the money spent, enormous as
it was, take it and return TO form
