IMPORTANT WITNESSES ARE
AFRAID TO GO ToJACK-
SON, KY.

Lexington, Nov. 1.-Two of the
most sensational affidavits ever filed
in a Kentucky court have just been
placed on record at Jackson, Breathitt
county. That county is the scene Of
the Hargis- Cookrill feud, and within
its borders thirty men have been kill
ed during the past year. A number
were asssssinated and are credited TO
one or to the other of the factions,
while several men are exiled from the
county because of their fear of as
sassination. The affidavits are by
Attorney J. B. Marcum and Moses
Feltner, his client, accused of the
killing of Jesse Fields. The purpose
of the sffidavits is to secure q continu-
ance in the case Of Feltner. They fol-
low on the heels of sensational state
ments contained in letter written to
Circuit Judge Redwine OF Breathitt
by John Patrick, an exile living in
this city, In which he said he knew
who killed James Cockrill, being an
eye witness, but declines to return to
jackson to testify unless the governor
will send a company of militia to pro-
tect him, alleging that deputy sheriff
attempted TO assassinste him and that
the persons who desire his death will
kill him IL he returns without the
protection of troops.
In his affidavit Moses Feltner tells
in detail of alleged plots TO kill At

many, nephew Of the late chancellor,
with an agent in London, by which he
agreed to pay ca, 1000 for securing con-
sideration Of his proposal of marriage
to Miss May Goelet, who objected TO
his age. The agent was Capt Lad
estas de Porkony.
Porkony employed Lucius O'Brien,
London solicitor, as his assistant,
and it is through o'Brien, now in
California on business, that the mat
ter has come to light.
Capt. Porkony arranged with two
leading society ladies Of London to get
Hohenlohe's proposal to Mrs. Goelet.
The result may be seen in this
letter.

Goelet yesterday and she begged me
to say how flattered she felt at the
proposal with regard to Prince Ho-

still very young, and as she had
never seen him she must decline the
proposal. Should they meet here
after it would be q different matter,

SMALL COINS WANTED
Holiday Trade viii Create a Great
Demand for Them.
Believed There Should be No Limit to
Subsidiary Coinage.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE mer.
chants of the nation are clamoring for
small change. The Christmas trade
will be on IN week or so, and the
applications for small coins are pour
ing in upon the oountry's suh-tTeas-
uries. The amount is limited and
there is apparently no way OF meeting
the demand
In his recommendation for legisla-
ton affecting the minis OF the United
States Director Roberts will urge
strongly that congress remove the
limit upon the amount Of subsidiary
silver coin that may be put out by
the mint. Under the law as IL stands
at present the total stock Of subsidiary
coin is limited to si00, o0O,00o OF
this amount there remains in the treas
ury and in the sub.treasuries only
about $1,000, 900. The country has
absorbed the balance Of the sl00, ooO,-
700 that has been coined and the re-
tail business interests are apt TO be
seriously crsmped for small coins dur
ing the holiday trade Of this year.
Director Roberts believes that there
should DO no limit upon the amount Of
subsidiary coinage that may be pre-
pared by the minis. II coined the
money will remain in the treasury
until the business Of the country
needs 1t, because 1t cannot be forced
out into circulation by the treasury
and will go out only where there is u
demand for it. On the other hand,
when the demand falls of the coins
are returned to the treasury by the
banks, so that the circulation Of
subsidiary coins is automatic.

The salary grabbers in the city
council will probably have an oppor-
tunity shortly to get in their graft
good and strong. Thus far they have
not collected a great deal for called
meetings of the council, but the re-
yised ordinances have to be adopted
and they all have to be read twice be-
fore they can become law. This will
require a number of called meetings,
and the councllmen will each get %
for every meeting, which they are not
lawfully entitled to, but which makes
no difference to them, They need the
money.

State Inspec tor Ludwig, who began
work in the city yesterday, finds the
factories Of Paducah in excellen,

inspected the Cohankus company,
Forked Deer Pants Co., Bauer's pot

and the Famous Pants factory and
found them satisfactory.
He found only one child under IA
years Of age working unlawfully. and
that was In Bsuer's pottery and was
employed to help one Of the employees
and not employed by the proprietor.
In the Cohankus company were
found number, but they all had the
consent of the county judge, and all
that was not exactly regular was that
their parents did not certify to the pa

WHAT HE WANTED SAVED.
His Property Was Burning But Apps-
tite Was uppermost.

"The tailest man | ever saw" said
a man from Kentucky, was Jim Por-
ter, who used to be a noted character
on the Ohio when | was a boy. He
was seven feet eight inches. and the
most awkward, worst put together man
that ever lived. Vixen he stood up
his huge knotted hands dangled below
his knees His joints were four times
the size they ought to have been,
and he was altogether a sort OF walk
ing scarecrow. not at all overburdened
by gray matter in his mansard, but
good-natured, good eater and per-
fectly harmless. About the only thing
he owned was a small interest in the
steamer Nathan Hale, and the last
time I saw him was the night she
burned in the river at Shippingsport.
Jim YVES in town, drunk as usual, when
she caught fire. but somebody carried
the news to him and he put out
for the river at once. He had a small
wagon, an understood horse. and .
dwarf OF a man who always drove for
him. We could hear him believing
for half a mile before he came in
sight. Then he ratified down to the
shore, waving his immense sombrero
and bowling like a wounded wolf. and
as he came we heard the words he was
yelling. over and over he roared:

Permanent Pastures.

On practically all American farms
the permanent pasture is neglected.
This is more true of the west even
than of the east. 1t is rather surpris-
ing to find It true in all of our dairy
regions, where we might expect to see
the permanent pasture fully appreci-
ated. Where an effort is made to keep
them up it too often stops at putting
on little manure and some clover
and timothy seed or turning the sod
over and sowing to blue grass. Tim
othy can hardly be considered a very
good grass for pastures. unless the
pasture is to be used largely for
horses, and the clover generally dies
out in few years. The blue grass
proves good pasturage only under
favorable conditions and with proper
handling. Generally 1t does not prove
to be a first-class pasture through the
whole year. 1t is desired to have a
pasture that natures its grass at diff
ferent seasons. Our great mistake
seems to have been in sowing too few
varieties of grasses. This mistake is
accentuated when we SOW two or three
varieties of grasses that mature at the
same time. These begin to grow at
the same time and during the flush"
of the season the animals revel in a
superabundance of good things. But
when the grasses have reached their
maturity they begin to decline at
once. No new varieties are coming on
to take the place of the varieties that
are in decadence. and the stock at pas
turage begin to feel the difference.
The farmer then must begin feeding
or he will have to face a shrinkage in
flesh of his fat cattle and a shrinkage
of milk in his dairy cattle. The prop
er way would be to select grasses that
mature at different times and that have
their growth In different seasons and
at different times. This can be done
by sowing some very early and some
very late grasses. Among the grasses
that 1t will be well to sow for the early
growing we mention the fescues. or
chard grass and timothy. For those
that have late growing season we
name crested dog tail. alsike clover.
red clover and meadow foxtail To
these may be added other valuable
grasses that have been found to be
good in different localities.-Farmers
