1t is with much regret that
we announce the death of Mr..
John c. Hammond of heart
disease. He had been COM
planning of heart trouble for
some time, but no one thought
of any imminent danger from
that source. On last Sunday
morning, he was apparently
in his usual health, and went
about his morning duties as
usual. After finishing his
chores, he remarked that he
would 60 over to his sons
home for a little while, and
started out. This was the last
seen of him until his lifeless
body was found lying near
path on the farm. Mr.. HAM
mond was an excellent citizen
and good neighbor, and had
a host of friends who deeply
and sincerely sympathize with
the mourning family. He
leaves a wife, three sons and
one daughter. He was sixty
one years of age at the time of
his death.

Enough to Put the Town
ION the Hog"

Some weeks past, Mr.. w. T.
Bond started to fattening twen-
ty-one hogs near the Bond &
Lillard distillery, and it is puz-
cling him now how he is going
to get them home to kill them.
No one of them will weigh
less than five hundred pounds,
and they are so fat they can
hardly walk around the pen.
While the distance from his
home to the distillery is only
about One-half a mile, Mr..
Bond says he will give them
two days in which to walk it,
crd, at the end of the given
time, all that had not reached
the Strengthening pen will be
given a ride that they will
know nothing about.

Married at Frankfort.

There was solemnized at the
Capital Hotel, in Frankfort,
yesterday afternoon at four
o'clock the wedding of two of
Lawrenceburg's most popular
young people-Miss Margaret
Wallace Selby and Mr.. Cole
man Davis Lyen. While long
expected, their wedding was
somewhat of a surprise to their
many friends, so quietly did
they go about arranging for
it. Last Friday, in company
with Mr.. Samuel Ottenheimer,
Mr.. Lyen drove to Frankfort
and secured the services of
the Rev. J. NJ. Crow, of the
Presbyterian church, and ar
ranged for the parlors of the
Capital Hotel. 1t was this
drive that started the gossipers,
and the truth was soon known.
All arrangements having been
completed, accompanied by
Mr.. Ottenheimer and Miss Ma
ny Francis Lillard, they drove
over to the Capital City, where
they were married. The bride
is the popular daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Benz. Selby, Jr., and
is one of the most attractive
young ladies of the county.
The groom is the polite and
accommodating clerk at the
Citizens Bank, and his host of
friends will congratulate him
upon winning the hand of this
most charming young lady.
A long life, and happy one,
is the wish extended to them
by 1T.

Brave EX-BOERS VISIT

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Among
the passengers arriving on the
American liner st. Louis today was
General Ben Viljoen, the ex-Boer

the Boer side.
AS young man he was a police

Der of important engagements. His

FOLD THEIR TENTS
LIKE THE ARABS AND SILENT.
LY STEAL AWAY.

AS result Of Sheriff Doust's tip
to the Indians who have been en-.
camped at North Monroe st. they
have vamoosed the town and hit
the trail for newer if not greener
fields. The sheriff some time ago
threatened to use "invigorating"
methods if they did not go and
some time during Thanksgiving eve
they set out for parts afar.
Three lone Indians repose in the
city jail and are perhaps the last
for time at least--of this band,
whose carousals, it is stated, were
source of worry to people who
live in the neighborhood of the
camp.
Tenas Bone, Chessaway and a
squaw are in Jail charged with
drunkenness, and are held as wit
Nesses against one J. H. Carice, a
laborer who halls from the plains
of Kansas
Officer Parrish made the arrests.
He arrested Carice and his partner
on a charge of selling whisky to
Indians. While the officer was try
ing to keep track of the three red
men the white men made dash
for liberty and both succeeded in
getting away. Carice was rearrest-
ed later and the evidence against
him Is said to be conclusive.

RAILROADS GUARD
AGAINST HOO-DOOS
Popular SuperstItions Among Men and En-
nloyes. -0ne Wreck Brings Two More.

The last trouble on the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern rail-
ways were over only at the occur
renee of the third wreck, and each
line had its third" within AZ hours
time.
Thanksgiving day, day usually
ignored by the railway companies,
was recognized yesterday in every
way.
The various lines gave their engi-
neers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen an opportunity to spend
the day at home.
1T was impossible" said one Of
the officials, "to allow all of the
men to be absent at the same time,
but we did not run anything except
important freight and the regular
passenger trains"
This is the custom throughout the
east. except in South Carolina,
where the law forbids the running
of anything except passenger trains
and stock trains on Sundays and on
all legal holidays.
Wisconsin has it's fad, which pre-
vents any freight train passing a
church which is within hearing dis
lance of the track during the serv-
| ices.
At Oshkosh, Wis, the Wisconsin
Central railway passes a church
near the tracks and it is not an I'M
usual thing for a freight train to
stand still from one to two hours
so that the law will be observed and
the services notdisturbed. The en-
gineers make rush to get by this
city before the appointed time,
knowing that failure to do so
means, according to their way of
putting it, that they will be
"churched" two hours.
The railways of the city gave a
holiday to all of the employees hold
ing clerical positions.
The freight handlers had half

of nearly $1,oO0,oO0 annually to it's
payrOlls.
The Philadelphia e. Reading rail-
road then fastened to announce
that the manager was working on
new schedules for an increase.
Other lines, both east and west,
made similar statements. 1t is ex-
pected that within a day the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern, Erie,
Big Four, Wheeling & Lake Erie
and Nickel Plate railways will an
nounce their intentions of raising
the wages to the standard of the
Pennsylvania lines.
The Gould lines are also making
up schedules for a 10 per cent in
crease. which will affect over $780,
900 men.
The Pennsylvania railroad has
set aside 100000 900 for improve
ments during the next two years.
OF this amount $11,500,000 will be
spent in New York city for termi-
nal tunnel. elevation of the tracks
and new freight yards.
The Oregon Short line has volun-
tarily increased the salaries of 700
men 10 per cent.
Walter Morehead, representing
the minority of the stockholders of
the Central (now Southern) Pacific.
has begun sui to recover $780,
600, 900 from the estate of Coils p.
Huntington, the late president of
the Southern Pacific railroad. This
is suit which is considered the
biggest ever brought in United
States court.

= Superstition among railway men
is often the food for conversation
among travellers, especially while
on board of train.
1t is fact that many of the
railway men have their peculiar
IDEAS and that the majority Of the
men are really superstitiOns.
The railroads in different sections
have their own ways of guarding
against the "hoodOo."
The Southern Pacific train dis
patchers are very shaky about us
ing order No. -, and on some of
the divisions the superintendent
will not make any pretense of hid
ing the fact that he does not want
it used.
Engineers are likewise cautious
about working certain engines and
usually before taking the engine
from the roundhouse the engineer
will tell the foreman that he knows
something is going to happen. 1t
always does.
One general superstition exists
among railway men and in this par
ticular example the officials arce in
cluded, that whenever wreck Oc-
ours they are unanimous in the
belief that there will be two more
Immediately. They figure that there
will have to be the third In order
to satisfy that "hoodoo."
Some roads carry it to extremes.
Up to within few months ago and
even now to a limited extent, the
Chicago & Great Western railway
made no secret of their intentions
to displace any man that seemed
to have streak of bad luck follow
him.
Arbitration, the compliance of
the rules and the clearing himself
from all responsibility in a general
sense would not aid the unfortu-
nate man if it appeared that he was
y the "hOOdOO"
