AN ARDENT SWEETHEART.

For twenty years my sweetheart has
been courting me-she can
Use the ardent efforts of the most effu-
sive man;
In these years she's tried to win me by
the art that love displays,
And confess she pins me by the sweet
ness of her ways.
She has no hesitation to embrace me or
to kiss
Me on my lips a hundred times-am I
wrong in telling this?
She's a wooer most affectionate and she
always says that she
Wouldn't take the trouble Of this living
but for me.
I ought to fall in love with her, and Pm
certain that l would
If were but as honest and as true blue
as she's good;
For true enough she is to me my only
bright sunshine
Ny sweetheart is no other than that gen.
tie wife of mine.

PINEY BRIDGE GONE.
Finest Bridge in the County Torn
from its Foundation.

During Saturday nights storm
the large iron bridge over Piney
creek, near j. M. Deans farm, was
torn from its foundations by the
high water and drift. The abut-
ments of the bridge we're weaken
ed by the constant beating of the
DRIFT, and Monday morning they
washed away and the bridge fell
into the water. This is the larg-
est structure of its kind in the
county and cost a great deal of
money. 1t will be raised, if pos
sible, to its old position. The wa
ters of Piney were higher than
ever before, and a great deal of
property was destroyed all along
its course.

NOTED MURDER CASE
Now on Trial in the Caldwell
Circuit Court.

Princeton, KY, March 1.-THE
case of the Commonwealth of Ken
lucky against Wiley Leeper and
others for the willful murder of
Tom White, committed in this
county several years ago, was call
en- today, both parties announcing
they we're ready for trial. The tri-
al of this case this term is due en-
, tirely to the determination OF
Judge Mum, who has sent special
bailiffs after absent witnesses.
When the case was called a
large crowd was gathered in the
court room. The case has caused
quite a good deal of interest to be
manifested on account of several of
the defendants being connected
with the most prominent families
in the county. There are several
defendants, all of whom demand
separate trials and about 80 wit
nesses have been summoned. A
special term of court may have to
be called to dispose of the case.
A hard fight is expected on ac-
count of the parties implicated.
One of the party defendants is
now serving n life sentence under
the same charge and indictment.
Lawyers James e. James and
John w. Blue, of this city, are
employed in the case.

SCHOOL ORATORS.
In Their Congress Settle the
Cuban Question.

The American Congress of the
Marion school met in open session
Monday evening. The galleries
we're crowded with visitors, who
were entertained by the youthful
statesmen. xbth relating t. thc
government of Cuba, and touch
ing the future relations of the is
land TO the United States was un'
der discussion. Many instructive
and eloquent addresses were deliv.
cred. The congressman were full
" aware of the importance of the
measure. The bill called for u,
s. coaling stations in Cuba, con-
troll of sanitary affairs of the is
land, and demanding that this
country have the right to make all
treaties and in fact control the
governmental affairs of Cuba. The
Wing party upheld the measure
The Liberal andIndependent par
Ties opposed its passage. The dis
cussion was spirited and lively
yet friendly. Every congressman
that addressed the body seemed to
be we'll posted upon Cuban affairs
we venture to say that many OF
the dignified fathers in Washing
ton" would have gained knowl-
edge regarding the affairs of the
Pearl of the Antilles had they
heard the stirring speeches OF the
boy congressman. The bill was
defeated, and therefore the Cuban
question was practically settled.
These open sessions are always
source of enjoyment for the peo'
pile of our city.

WIND AND RAIN
Destroys Considerable Property
Saturday Night.

The terrific winds and the hea'
Wy rains of Saturday night des-
troyed fences, barns and other pro-
perry in all parts of the county.
The creeks we're higher than they
had been for years. The passen-
ger trains of Sunday morning
were delayed several hours on ac-
count of washout on the road. A
new barn of W. H. Heath, near
Hebron, WAS entirely destroyed by
the wind. Many of our farmers
report miner losses. The Ohio
river is rising.
There were notes in the storm
that occasionally sounded omin-
ously like the great cyclone OF
'87; and the roll of heavens artil-
lery, and the flash of her mighty
guns reminded one of Lord Kitch-
ener's charges upon Gen. DeWet
hut when daylight came, If the
simile may be carried further, the
Boer general had escaped with in
consequential losses.
