KENTUCKY's LATEST SONG.

Kentucky, which has always been noted
for its beautiful women, gallant colonies,
fast horses and moonshinc whiskey has
lately adopted a new song, that promises
to supplant My Old Kentucky Home, ="
which is so dear to the hearts of those
who owe allegiance to the Blue Grass
State. The rhythm is adaptable to any
old tune and the words run something
like this:
Johnny had a squcncTi cake,
y SquCnch cake,
Squcnch cake.
Johnny had Il squcnch cake,
With green worm on top,
\ fat one.
y fIiSSy one,
y great big green squZzy one.
OH Johnny had Il Suucnch cake
With green worm on top.

While ii may seem Il broad statement, it Is
probably true. that our railroads, with their
immense capitalization and army of en-
ployccs, form one of the most important in
dustrics of the country. The other very I'M

celebrated family medicine, Hostetter'S
Stomach Bitters. 1t is compounded with the
greatest care. and contains nothing that
would iniurc the most delicate system. 1t is
backed by Il record of fifty years of cures oi

few days have been dry and beneficial

few days have been dry and beneficial
to them.
Our farmers are much elated over the
recent dry weather which will enable
them to start their plow teams.
Mr.. Maurice c. Hopes, of Kaintuck
farm, was the first to start blowing.
His sod field is in excellent condition and
he is turning it over right and left.
On Saturday afternoon last while Mrs
Maurice Hopes was on her way home
from Perryman store her horse became
very lame in the right front foot. An
investigation discovered a four penny
nail sticking in the animals hoof, which
was extracted with some difficulty. 1t
is supposed the horse trod on some pieces
of boards or barrel hoops which are
generally lying around the country
stores. Merchants should be very care
tul in allowing such things to be thrown
out where their customers have to drive
up, as a valuable horse might become
crippled and die from lock jaw.

1t is a good thing to deal

HUGH DOUGHERTY IN TOWN.


Hugh Dougherty, of Bluffton, will not
make the race for Congress on the Dem
ocratic ticket in the Eighth district. Mr.
Dougherty was at the Grand Hotel last
night and made this emphatic declaration.
Some time ago ii was announced that the
Democracy of the district was hopeful of
getting Mr.. Dougherty to accept the NOM
ination, as it was believed he might be
able to accomplish something in the dis
trict. Mr.. Dougherty says he is too busy
TO go into the race, although he thinks
there is a chance of defeating George w.
Cromer. Mr.. Dougherty is president of the
Union Surety Company, of this city, and
is a director in the New Long distance
Telephone Company 'I haven't time 10

ney of Anderson, will perhaps be the NOM
inee."
In addition to being at the head of
surety company and a director in tele-
phone company. Mr. Dougherty has some
other business interests and besides he likes
to look on" in the game of State politics.
He confessed that his visit to the city this
time is partly to look on" The Dem

Mr.. Dougherty says that in the State

Chairman OBrien does not admit that
one purpose of the meeting is to see how
much the candidates will contribute to the

candidates" he said last night, with a
laugh; they make voluntary contribu-

prolonged campaign. He thinks about six
weeks OF campaigning will be sufficient,

lively about the middle of September.

CHANGES IN LOCAL TRAINS.
Some Unavoidable Confusion at the
Union station the First Day.


A number of changes in the time table at
the Union Station that went into effect
Sunday caused considerable commotion at
the station yesterday and kept the officials
busy giving directions and information.
The numbers of several trains were
changed, which left those familiar with
the time cards at sea. Two or three new
trains also helped to complicate matters.
One of the most important changes is No

to st. Louis on the Pennsylvania. 1t for
merly carried passengers, but now carries
only mail and express. 1t arrives at $50

Haute only. stopping at Greencastle,
Brazil and its terminal. 1t is No. 13 and
leaves at D. m. The St Louis express
over the Vandalia, which formerly arrived
at $40 a. m, now gets in at $50 and leaves
at $40, instead of S:25.
The Big Four has put on new train,
No. 46, the New York Limited, which ar
makes connection with No. 43 of the Gin
cinnati division, which now arrives at

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
INDIANA LITERATURE DISCUSSED IN
THE DENIsON HOTEL.
General wfIder's Name for the Chief
Tribe Of Indians in indiana
Other Lobby Stories.

A group Of men were chatting in the
Denison Hotel last evening. Various topics
were brought up and exhausted and finally
literature became the subject. II believe,
observed ]. II. Claypool. that such stories
as Mr.. Tarldngtons Gentleman from In
diana and some OF the poems that Mr..
Riley has written have done a good deal to-
ward giving Indiana bad name" With
this opening statement Mr.. Claypool looked
about him at the assembled company and
waited a moment. STUFF and nonsense,
remarked General r. S. Foster. you are
mistaken about that. On the contrary that
sort of literature only reflects credit on the
State for having such talented men," Cen
eral Foster looked at his friend, John
Bradshaw. and the latter backed up his
assertion with a sage nod. That's all
right" resumed Mr.. Claypool. but 1 want

nine MEN CAUGHT in net
POLICE SET 1T FOR THE POKER
PLAYERS AT KISsEL's.
The Persons Arrested Are Charged
with "Visiting" a Game, as
They Were Not Playing.

Acting Captain Schwab. Sergeant Giblin
and four patrolmen took nine poker players
out Of William f. Kissers rooms on West
Market street last night. At the police
station they gave fictitious names-even
the veteran '"Tobe" Howe trying TO hide
his identity-and Sam Farb signed bonds
for their appearance in Police Court this
morning-that is, Farb touched the pen
while Turnkey Howe wrote his name.
Farb, who used TO sell hot wienerwurst be-
tween rye bread at Pennsylvania and
Washington streets, is permitted TO sign
bonds with the generosity of a millionaire,
and picks up a tidy living at the bust
ness.
Kissel leases the two upper floors of the
building on the south side of Market street
at the corner of the first alley west of I'LL
nois street There is a livery stable on the
ground floor. When KisseIs policy bust
ness was booming he had his headquarters
there, and now the policy apparatus is
stored on the third floor awaiting another
palmy day. The poker rooms are at the
rear of the second floor. Five doors in
tervene between them and the street door.
The police, at 1890 o'clock last night, rang
the bell at the street door. The colored
porter came down and looked out OF the
peep-hoe "Open this door quick" COM
manded Acting Captain Schwab and the
negro obeyed by running back. Soon he
returned and unlocked one door after an
other for the police.
The nine players were lounging about one
table when the intruders entered. Two or
three of them were shutting cards.
Neither Howe nor any of the others would
say who was the keeper of the game, but
George Bond was there and he is supposed
to have charge when Kissel is not present.
Acting Captain Schwab had no hope of
catching the men playing because of the
precautions of the house He could charge
them only with visiting a gambling
house" The patrol wagon was called and
conveyed the players and the table, cards
and chips to the police station. The men
were a prosperous-looking lot, about half
of them, seemingly, professional gamblers
and the rest producers, or men who like
to play and are willing to risk a regular
gambling house
Kissers rooms are we'll furnished and
include a kitchen and a dining room.
Preparations were not yet begun for a
midnight luncheon when the police ar
rived. Sergeant Giblin saw Kissel on the
street shortly before the raid. He seems
to have distaste for taking a chance al
being arrested and is in his rooms very
little.
