Man Residing on Mayfield Road
is Insane,
Secured Knife and Pitchfork and Held
Officers at Bay-Was Gap.
tured Today.
ADJUDGED INSANE AT ONCE

Sheriff Lee Potter today left for the
old Oeblsohlaeger place on the May
field road few miles from the city to
arrest and bring to the city John
Moore, young white man who is
said to be violently insane.
According to the report made to
County Attorney Eugene Graves,
Moore has been acting strangely for
several days past. He finally became
so bad that officers were sent for to
come and take him into custody and
have him tried for lunacy.
Yesterday an effort was made by
Sheriff Potter to arrest him, but armed
with big knife and pitchfork the
maniac climbed into loft and success
fully defied everybody. AS there was
only one hatohway through which to
enter the loft, he had the only place
Of egress blocked. and could not be
taken.
Sheriff Potter was more successful
this morning. He had TO break down
door and take the young man by
force, however. 1t is understood that
cigarettes and whiskey caused the
young man to lose his mind.
The case was heard by Judge Light
foot at 2 O'Clock and the defendant was
adjudged insane and will be taken to
Hopkinsville tonight or tomorrow

Horse Stealing.

Byrd and George Mccullough, charged
with stealing three good horses from
Frank and J. w. Hudspeth, about
twenty miles west of here, on the
night of December 2S.
The evidence against the men ac-
cused is principally circumstantial.
but the Hudspeths, who made the com
plants, say that IT is of such strong
nature that they feel satisfied OF con
victing the defendants.
One of the party. the Hudspeths say,
had little hole In his shoe. which
left its mark on the ground wherever
the wearer went. and a shoe was found
with one of the defendants that made
a print to match 1t exactly. Horses
tracks and other circumstances led
the Hudspeths to conclude that they
had the right parties spotted. and they
were arrested and put in Jail here yes

Novel Place Of Worship In Iceland,
Where the Winds Are Wild.

Inherent in humanity is the in
,stinct of devotion, but morality dos
not necessarily follow religion. A
native Australian will steal sheep,
assault his neighbors and wage un-
just war upon other tribes and re-
turn to his wretched hut to engage
in some act of devotion expressive
of gratitude to a higher power for
success. Without a qualm of con-
science Chinaman will declare
black to be white, gather in the last
cash from his best friend at the
gambling table and spend the last
OF his i'll gotten gains in the pur-
chase Of some bauble wherewith to
propitiate his favorite idol, says the
Housekecpcr.
1t is remarkable how much one
can tell of creed or religion by
the appearance, exterior and inte-
rior, of its places of worship. The
Roman Catholic church in every
part of the world is designated by
the sign of the cross. The mission
aries of this faith have always been
most energetic in their work at the
outposts of civilization, and, 20
where you will, you find their little
missions hourishing. The most in
teresting, though probably the
smallest, of their outposts is on the
northern shores of Iceland. Most
of the people of Iceland belong to
the Lutheran church, and for many
years it was the only denomination
represented on the island.
During the visit of wealthy Ice
lander and his wife to the continent
of Europe they became converted tc
the Catholic faith, and upon theil
return home erected the present
church on the northern shore. II
is situated on a spot where the
winds have full sweep from the
northern seas, and for fear the lit
tie church might be borne away BY
some of the mighty blasts Of winter
it is made fast to posts driven deeI
in the earth by great chain, ont
of the heaviest ever constructed
On cold night in January it is I
weird experience to sit in thi
church and try to listen to sermon
or song while outside old Boreas i
bowling and his blasts cause tn
tiny shrine to sway like a ship a
sea. But it is firmly anchored, ant
the danger is more imaginary thai
real.

Why Thunder sours MIX.

You have often asked or been
asked, "Why does thunder sour
milk" The answer is this: Milk is
very susceptible to atmospheric
changes. Electricity, the cause of
thunder, produces, or if it does not
really produce follows, great and
rapid changes in the atmospheric
conditions. Lightning is the dis
charge which comes of electrical
inequalities, producing chemical
changes in the air. Thunderstorms
represent the greatest activity Of
electrical phenomena, and the best
authorities give it as their opinion
that the electricity in the atmos-
phere is the prime cause of milk
souring during the prevalence of
such storms.

Automobile Superstition.

Among motor car drivers there is
q curious survival of bit of folk.
lore. In many cars is suspended a
perforated stone, usually a sea roll
ed flint, with a natural bore. This
stone is supposed to act as pro-
tective amulet. To be efiicacious in
warding off the evil the hole must
be naturally or, as some people
maintain, systematically formed,
not artificially bored, and the be-
lief in this stones power is certain
ly widespread. 1t is supposed to
confer safety on the fastest travel
ing motor car, and there is many a
speedy driver who in his heart as
cribes his immunity from accident
to the strange power Of the perfo-
rated pebble. We trust its kindly in
fluence is extended to all that the
motor car may meet or overtake.--

Mythical Snakes.

whiskers In the British Navy.

In 1869 Queen Victoria took .
great interest in whiskers in the
British navy. She wrote to the first
lord of the admiralty in that year:
"The queen thanks Mr.. Childers
very much for his communication
on the subject of boards. She thinks
the order will do extremely well.
Her own personal feeling would be-
for the boards without the mus
taches, as the latter have rather o
soldierlike appearance; but then the
object in view would not be attained
to prevent the necessity for shaw
ing. Therefore it had better be as
proposed, the entire beard, only it
should be kept short and very clean.
The queen wishes to make one addi-
tional observation respecting the
beards-that on no account should
mustaches be allowed without
boards. That must be clearly I'M
derstood."
