The Next Encampment of The

MammOuth Cave.

The site for the next annual en-

The men behind the guns them

Mt. Sterling. Not many more were
anxious to camp out at Paducah.
With this dilemma confronting

all the contestants for the camp
would be treated equally.-Lexing-

in testifying before the Senate
Cuban Committee, acknowledged
that he had been paid by Gen.
Wood out Of the Cuban Govern
ment Treasury for advocating a
Cuban reciprocity bill. He said
that Mr.. Havemeyer, of the Sugar
Trust, had contributed 50, 500
toward the same object. His ac-
acknowledgement created a sensation
and is regarded both as great
victory for the beet sugar men
and a severe defeat for Senator
Aldrich, the Republican Senate
leader.

The Chinese Government contends
that the indemnity payments are

ISLANDER ON BREATHITT.
Judge Redwine So Pronounces
Damaging Reports Which
Have Gone Out.

The Louisville Times has the
following dispatch from Jackson
The reports in Saturdays papers
attributed to Mr.. Johns, of Lex
ington, to the effect that the court
and bar here are terrorized by
fuedists, are absolutely false If
Mr.. Johns made any such state
ments he has grossly misrepresent-
ed the facts. Circuit court has
been in session for two weeks, and
more quiet, orderly and efficient
term has never been held IN this
or any other county. Mr.. Johns
attended this court as an attorney
for one Tom Cockrell, indicted for
murder. He was accorded every
courtesy by the local bar, the Judge
and other officers of the court
during the three or four days he
remained here.
"The publications recently made
by papers not familiar with the
facts are base ISLANDERS upon the
citizenship of the county and are
regarded by the people here as
tabrications of designing persons,
concocted for the sole purpose of
casting a stigma on the character
of the people and officers of this
county.

Suit BY American Book Company

At Lebanon KY, suit of more
than usual interest was that of the
American Book Company against
School superintendent S. G.. Nc
Elroy to require him to use it's text
books in the common schools of that
county.
At meeting of the County Board
of Examiners, held January 2, the
board adopted series of books to
be used in Marion-county schools
for the next five years. The adop-
tion papers were signed by the
members of the board and were
certified as the books that were to
be used. A meeting of the exam
iners was held subsequently, at
which books were adopted other
than those at first selected.
The American Book Company
brought a mandamus suit against
Supt. McElroy to compel him to
use the books decided upon by the
Board Of Examiners at its first
meeting.
The court held that the board
could make the change if it desired,
and dismissed the suit.

She scalds it thoroughly after us

exactly akin to the churnlng of but

if this stomach churn is "sour" it
sours all which is put into it? The
evil of a foul stomach is not the
bad taste in the mouth and the foul

Mr.. White Should Be Renomi
mated and Endorced.

nomination he was confronted with
divided party in many parts of
the district. Democrats who had
stood with our party on all ques-
tions before had not become recon-
ciled in matters upon which they
had divided, arising out of the sill
yer question, and the nomination of
the State ticket two years before.
The effort of Mr.. White, in the
first place, was to heal these dis
sensions. Moreover, it is well
known that in his race larger
campaign fund was thrown into the
district to elect the Republican
State Ticket, and in the Appellate
race, and to defeat Mr.. White,
than was ever brought into the dis
trict before. But the usual Demo-
cratic majority was maintained, Mr..
White running ahead of the State
ticket in many of the counties.
Since he has been in Congress
his public services for the develop
ment of the coal and mineral re-
sources of Eastern Kentucky by
securing means of transportation
are well known to the people of the
district. He has by untiring eff
orts induced the War Department
to place under construction at the
same time two or three locks and
dams. when the work was only
upon one at a time previous to
that. The contract is now let for
the one at Ford, and steps are
being taken to commence work at
the one above there at the mouth
of Flint Creek; so that work of
construction will be pushed at
Valley View, at Ford, and at the
mouth of Flint at the same time.
By the former course Of construct
ion it would have taken something
like twenty years perhaps to COM
plete the system, while by the plan
suggested by Mr.. White and
adopted by the Department this
improvement will be complete with
in eight years. He also advocated
in strong speech an appropria-
tion for the improvement of the
Big Sandy River, and to place it
under the continuous contract sys-
TEN. This was accomplished, and
$3.50, 600 obtained for this purpose
in the Rivers and Harbors bill,
mainly through the efforts of Mr..
White, who labored increasingly
for this and to enlist the aid Of
other Kentucky and West Virginia
members for this measure.
Besides these important public
services he has been attentive to
all private and public matters for
the benefit of the people of the
district. To retire him now and
give the work he has begun to an
other would simply be to turn out
public servant laboring in his
line of duty for the public inter-
ests of his people, and place his
unfinished work in untried hands.
Such decision by an intelligent
people would be unexplainable,
and nothing less than a disregard
by the people of their own real in
terests.
If we understand the sentiment
of the people of the district such
result is not likely to occur.
What is right and fair and reason
able, however will occur, and that
is Mr.. White will be re-nominated
and reelected to continue the good
work he has already begun and so
successfully carried out for the
people. jackson Hustler.
