RIPE FIGS
One of the Luxuries of Our Semi
Tropical Autumn.

The editor of the Kentuckian is
now gathering ripe figs from his
own garden. While living in Cali
fornia several years ago he ac-
quired a taste for this fruit fresh
from the trees, which IN spite of
vain efforts has not been gratifed
by home grown fruit until this year.
The frost has always come a little
too soon for the fruit to ripen. This
fall some fully ripened figs have
been gathered and there are many
green ones yet on the trees.

TWO BURLY NEGROES
Badly Brighten a Lone Widow
Near Gracey.
Driven OF They Return a Second
Time to Hang Around
Her House.

Gracey, KY Noy. 17.--Henry
Burgess, a farmer, lives near Ora
cey, on the Cerulean Springs road,
with his widowed sister and her
two little children. Friday night
Mr.. Burgess was away from home
and two negro men came to the door
and asked the widow, whose name
was not learned, to be allowed to
stay all night. She of course re-
fused, when one of them declared
that they intended to stay anyhow.
The lady slammed the door and
locked it and escaping from a back
door ran across a field to Mr.. A. E.
Ovens and gave the alarm. Messrs
Steve and George Owen took pistols
and went back with her, but a close
search failed to discover the negroes.
Later in the night young man
named Walter Burt saw them hang
ing around the house, but they dis
appeared when he passed and were
seen no more. 1t is said the ne.
groes came from the direction of
Hopkinsville,
1t would not be healthy for them
to be caught by the citizens of the
neighborhood.

THREE DECISIONS.
One That Hopkins County Is Liable
For Guard Bills.

The Court of Appeals has affirmed
the judgment of the circuit court,
holding Hopkins county liable for
3,408, the amount due on claims OF
mine guards during the strike
troubles in that county. The court
affirmed the death sentence of Jas.
Hooker, negro wife murderer, in
Lincoln county. The court reversed
a judgment of the Daviess circuit
court in the Whitesville poll tax
cases. The effect of the decision is
that the citizens of that town mnst
pay county poll tax.

many gardens in the city for the
second time this year. DR.. J. a.

SOMETHING DOING
But The Public Is Not In Off
cial Confidence.
Air Full of RumOrs But All Ave
nues of Information Closely
Guarded.

Asylum officials are very close
mouthed about the impending trou-
bles in that institution. The Board
held special meeting Monday of
last week and the Inspector came
on the heels of it. Every effort has
been made to suppress the trouble,
whatever it was. 1t is pretty we'll
understood that a "sour mash of
some sort exists and that the CON-
missioned officers are at serious
outs. One set is trying to get rid
of DR.. Ray and on the other hand
it is said DR.. Ray is making an
honest effort to regulate certain
abuses, but with poor success.
There is more or less open talk on
the streets about "speculations"
and crookedness of one sort or an
other that DR.. Ray is trying to
break up.
One of the rumors from the wards
is more horrible than anything
that has yet occurred. It is said
that a patient reported as being
from Webster county died under
circumstances that caused the dis
charge of an attendant a short
while ago. The story goes that
two patients acting as assistants
put the patient, a very old and
feeble man, in bath tub in which
the water was too hot and that his
death resulted soon afterwards.
Whether the water was scalding or
not is one of the carefully guarded
asylum secrets, but the attendant,
who was not present when the bath
was administered, it is alleged, lost
his job. This discharge may be
one of the acts of DR.. Ray that has
caused the gang to break with him
A laxative young man who is
close to the throne is authority for
the statement that DR.. Ray will
soon have to walk the plank On
the other hand Dr. Ray is making
friends by "bucking the gang.
Another rumor is that he has been
watching closely for violations Of
the eleventh commandment and
has been successful in locating
some infractions.
Inspector Hines was here last
week, but the copy Of his report
that should have been mailed to the
KENTUCKIAN, throwing light on the
trouble, was evidently lost in the
mails, as it has not been received
Right on top of other rumors
comes the admitted fact that a
brother of Newton Rideout, of Web
ster' county, had to go to Louisville
last week and rescue his brother s
body from the picking vat of Z
medical college. Rideout "es
capped" from the asylum and start
ed to walk home, a train knocked
him off the track and killed him al
Empire. His body was brought
here and for two days awaited iden
LITIGATION, being finally shipped tC
medical college.
1t seems that Webster county is
having a hard time to keep her
quota of patients in the asylum
from meeting with violent deaths.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-10-31

On next Tuesday the people of the
county are to decide whether or no
they will have new court house. The
people are thoroughly informed on the
subject and argument is superAous. If
it were only a question of civic
pride there might be cause for hesitan-
cy, if it were simply matter of en-
dangering the lives of those called upon
for witness or jury duty, there are
many who would be willing to take the
chances. But it is fact that the re-
cords of all the property of this county
are kept in vaults that are unsafe and
that at every hour the people are run
ming the risk of losing, by fire papers
that are worth to them hundred times
the cost of the new court house. Seven.
ty-five dollar an acre farms are surely
valuable enough so that the titles
should be kept clear. The county is
rich enough to build the court house
without feeling the expense. Itshould
be done now, while the records are
still intact and while prosperity reigns
in every farm home in the county

With this issue we present as sup
plement, handsome portrait of Hon.
j. p Conner. He is the Crawford
county candidate for Congress. He
has made an able representative of the
people of his district In his congress
sional duties he has shown no differ
ence in his treatment of democrats and
republicans. He has been courteous
and willing to assist any man who
called upon him and the question of
politics was never raised. The county
has reason to be proud of both Mr.
Shaw and Mr.. Conner. Their fame
has helped this county in many ways.
Judge Conner will be elected. There
is no question about that The only
question is will the people of the cou:.-
ty be broad.minded enough and have
pride enough in their own home aud
its men to give him handsome en-
dorsement at the polls?

Jews Elockina to America.

Vienna, Oct 31.-After an interval
of several weeks. the migration of
Roumanian Jews through this city for
the United States has recommended
heavily. Two parties of emigrants,
numbering 400 persons, were here last
Tuesday and Wednesday. The most
remarkable feature of this revived
movement is that half of the emf
grants are men, whereas former par
ties were almost entirely composed of
women and children. The men now
emigrating are chiefly artisans.

A SPEAkER IS CAPTURED.
Saturday Night Meeting to be Filled

saturday Night Weelng 10 ne flllc0
by Vanishing Walter. ~ 4
The democrats have at last found
someone who is willing to speak for
them on Saturday night before cleo
tion.The speaker is Walt Butler, one of
the leaders of the free silver wing of
democracy. 1t will be noticed that no
matter what the democratic state plat
form may have said or left unsaid the
only speakers allowed to come to this
county are of the simon pure free silver
stripe. Evidently the leaders fear to
give the conservative element of the
party a foothold in the county. Mr..
Butler is an old acquaintance with
Iowa people He was an accidental
congress man from the Fourth district
for one term. While in Congress he
DISTINGUISHED himself by introducing
bill to have the pansy blossom take the
place If the stars on the national flag
For this magnificent bit of statesman
ship he received the title of 'PansyH
Butler, a name which he has since
worn with as much credit as could be
expected. We had hoped that since
his reincarnatiou. Walter would see
new light and that the reformation
would extend even to his politics. We
say since his reincarnation, for this is
his second time on earth, He was once
the principe OF the schools of Oelwein,
suddenly he disappeared No trace
could be found OF him beyond that he
| was last seen in Waterloo. His dis
tracted relatives began a vigorous
search, it was unavailing and finally
| the Governor was asked to offer a re-
| ward for the capture of his murderers
| just about this time Walt turned up as
| a wandering book agent in an Indiana
town. We have never heard what eX-
| PLANTATION he gave but we believe he
stated that his mind suddenly became
| a blank and that he knew nothing of
| his Whereabouts or actions until he
came to himself far away from home
and without money He then said he
was ashamed to go back aud so he
started out in the book peddling bust
ness.
| Mr.. Butler is one of the strong est
| free silver men in Iowa and it will be
Interesting to learn what evil now
| say about a platform which be de-
nounced SO vigorously in Des Moines
These are the words used by MIR.
Butler in deuouncing the majority re-
port, the one that was adopted and
that stands as the democratic state
platform today. Mr. Butler said:
81 believe before God that this fight
today will decide the future of the
democratic party of Iowa and the
country. II we 90 back on our prin-
ciples today we will die because we de-
serve to die
The democratic party did just what
Mr.. Butler said would be going back
on their principles and thus according
to Mr.. Buffers own words. they will
die BECAUSE THEY DESERVE TO DIE.
Mr.. Butler certainly deserves good
pay for going about the state defend
ing the platform he so vigorously de-
nounced, and we hope that as usual he
gets it. Walt is not bad fellow and
in spite of his lack of mental balance
wheel as shown by his erratic course
of life, he is a pleasing. entertaining
though abusive speaker.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-The Record-Her-
aid says. Two big consultations are
planned by beef interests. The pack
ers will combine first and then effect
merger OF all the stock yards in the
country. With the exception of the
Chicago stock yards, which are con
trolled in Boston, all the properties in
volved are owned and controlled by
the owners OF the principal beef pack
ing interests. The different yards
that will probably be included in the
deal aside from the Chicago yards are
those at Kansas City, East st. Louis.
ST. Joseph, Fort Worth, South Omaha
and Sioux City.
The plan for consolidating the vari
Gus stock yards has not progressed as
yet to q point where the amount Of
stock required has been more than
discussed, 1t would undoubtedly run
well to S100, 900 goo, exclusive of the
amount required for the packing com
panies' combination, which is said to
be $500 100000,
