MAD BEAST
CORES MR.. HAM LEIGH. AT
ISEMAN'S WAGON YARD.

A vicious OK badly gored Hammond
Lee, an employe at the Iseman wagon
yard at Second and Washington
streets, about = O'Clock last night. A
couple of men from the country had
the animal in charge and were trying
to lead him away by stout ropes when
the animal became unmanagesble.
Mr.. Lee ran out to assist the men
and the OK succeeded in getting loose
and knocking Mr.. Lee down. The
beast gored him to such an extent that
his right arm was horribly lacerated,
the flesh on the forearm being torn for
several inches. The farmers rushed to
the rescue OF Mr.. Lee, VINO was pros
trate with the maddened bull still
goring at him, and succeeded in get
ting the animal away.
Drs. Robertson and Hoyer attended
Mr.. Lee, and 46 stitches were required
to close the wound. He will be laid
up several weeks, but he was fortunate
in escaping even with such serious
wounds.

STOLEN MULE
Causes Disagreement Between
Mayfield and Benton Men
Standing Reward Of $50 offered by
the State Claimed By Three Men.

A, interesting controversy has
arisen between Marshal McNutt and
the sheriff Of Graves county and Mr..
Pete Eley, of Benton, as to who Is en-.
titled to the $50 reward offered by the
state for the arrest of George Dunn,
at Benton, for the alleged theft Of a
mule from George Sutton, Of near
May
Sutton missed his mule few days
ngo and suspecting Dunn came to May
field and procured . warrant for his
arrest. He placed the papers in the
hands of the sheriff at Mayfield, who
enlisted the services of Marshal Nc
Mutt in the work Of securing Dunn's
capture. Marshal McNutt worked the
case up AMI learned that the man had
gone to Benton. Deputy Sheriff Har.
ris was in Paducah and following in
struotions went to Benton to arrest
his man. In the meantime Dunn had
sold the mule to Pete Eley who sus.
pected something wrong and tele-
graphed to find out He learned that
a warrant was out for Dunn and going
TO the house where Dunn was staying
arrested him. Deputy Sheriff Harris
arrived and demanded the prisoner
but Eley would not give him up, say
ing that be was entitled to the reward
for the arrest.
The matter has aroused much in
terest in both Mayfield and Benton
and will be taken before Judge Hus-
bands here for settlement. McNutt
claims the reward, Eley claims the re-
ward and the sheriff claims it also, be-
cause he originally held the warrant.
Dunn is still in Jail at Benton waiting
the action Of the court.

George Ado on LIbretto Writing.

George AIDE, in the Theater Magazine
for June. gives what is probably the true
reason for the poor quality of light opera
seen nowadays on the stage Mr.. AIDE
says:
colbert and Sullivan did not labor to
invoke boisterous encores or dazzle the
public with catchy 'song-hits They
were not compelled to provide special
scenes for the pulchritudinous show
girls. Neither did they feel impelled to
alter the construction so as to give mere
fat to the Unsuitable Broadway come
dams. There are several reasons why
the Gilbert and Sullivan kind of light OPP
era does not appeal to a majority of our
managers and comedians today. The first
rule In the making Of an up-to-date
musical comedy seems to be that 1t shall
be capable of a gorgeous production.
The immense success of pieces such as
those offered by the Rogers Brothers,
Anna Held and other money making
stars, has served to convince managers
that no matter what happens to the
book or the story the stage must bloom
at frequent intervals, with lovely girls
in expensive raiment. and the songs. no
matter by what pretext brought into

ANT QUEEN.
Strange Pets and Some OF Their
Strange Habits.

From Harper's Magazine.
How long may an ant queen live? In
their natural habitat some queens doubt
less have short lives; but by reason OF the
rejection afforded them and the seclu-
| s,on enforced by the workers, they prob
ablv live much longer than other MEM
hers of the community. Within artificial
surroundings they attain a comparative
| long life. The oldest emmett queen known

visit to this distinguished naturalist AT
his country seat, High Films, Kent the
writer for the first time saw this venera-
he sovereign living in the ingenious ar
t,ncial formicary which had been pre-
nared for her. She was then in the prime
Of life. as It afterward appeared, being
seven years old.
In the summer Of 1878 Sir John was
again visited, this time at his town mouse
In London. After greetings, he was asked
about his royal pet.

what? Is the queen dead?'
She died only yesterday. l have not
had the heart to tell the news as yet even
to my wife,"
Having offered my hearty coincidence l
asked to see the dead queen. Sir John led
the way to the room where his artificial
nests were kept The glass case which
contained the special formicary in which
the old ant had lived was opened up.
Lying in one of the larger open spaces or
rooms was the dead queen, She was sur
rounded by crowd of workers. who were
tenderly licking her. touching her with
their antennae, and making other demon
strations as IL soliciting her attention, or
desiring TO wake her out of sleep. Poor,
dumb. loving, faithful creaturesl There
was no response. Their queen mother lay
motionless beneath their demonstrations.
sThey do not appear to have discovered
that she is really dead" remarked Sir
John Afterward he wrote me of another
queen which died at the age of a. The
ants dragged her body about with them
when they moved until 1t fell to pieces.

cation of a hit. And though critics
may rave, the astute manager defends
his policy by producing the box-office
statement. When / started to write the

story of cumulative interest, the dialogue

bers should fit the situations and be made
an integral part of the dramatic construc-

Cats and DOCS as Pets.

The pet dog is going out Of fashion and
the pet cat Is coming into style says the
Washington Times. You will not see
one-third as many Washington women
carrying pet dogs nowadays as formerly.
OF course, they do not carry the pet cats
around with them, but some women will
be sure to do that just to attract notice.
The decline of the pet dog Is believed
to be due to the opposition Of apartment
house owners to having dogs in their
buildings. A dog Is nuisance; cat
is a treasure. That, at least, is what the
cat fanciers say Then, again, dogs are
costly and cats are cheap. But on the
other hand, dogs are true and affection
ate and cat is without affection and
is intensely selfish.
Families anxious to have a pet cat can
get one for nothing. Splendid stray cats
may be obtained almost any day from the
animal shelter of the Humane Society.
Ordinarily persons calling for a cat at
the shelter are supposed to pay So which
money is devoted toward the running ex-
penses of the institution; but those who
cannot afford to pay need only say so
and upon the proof that they will give
proper attention to the animal they will
get as fine a cat as can be found on any
backyard fence.
The true cat fancier. however, wants
nothing that has not a pedigree. He
seeks Persian or an Angora, and pays
as much as 500 for a good specimen.
These fancy cats are delicate and re-
quire the utmost attention. For an all
around hardy pet destined to live nine
lives, there is nothing like the common,
| everyday cat.
The age of cat Is from twelve to ff-
| teen years. The oldest cat on record
reached twenty-four years.

that since the first performance OF the
piece, the Gilbertian model has been
more or less patched up. The song and
dance, with light effects, is very dear

RHEUMATISM


Rheumatism does not come and 60 with winter
time always; In fact some suffer more during the
Spring and Summer than at any other season. When
the blood is charged with Uric Acid A1kai and other
irritating poisons then the system is in the right
condition for Rheumatism to develop and an attack
is liable to come at any time, Winter or Summer.
Rheumatism, because it attacks different parts OF
the BODY and is sudden or slow in its action, is given
various names such as acute and chronic, muscular,
articuar inammatory nercural and sciatic but it is
the same old acid blood that causes all Some are

stiffness in the muscles and joints, and

1t won't do to let Rheumatism
run on. 1t is dangerous disease, and
you can never tell where it is going to

ments and such things as produce
counter-irritation, are soothing and
may relieve the pain temporarily, but
the polluted, acid blood cannot be
reached by external applications. !,
Rheumatism must be treated

We don't know that there is any es-

vooating something that may benefit
the people, and The San is not given

the nerve Of our afternoon contempo-

have the monitor Arkansas come here,
when our neighbor didn't know any
thing about it until it saw the an

the other paper said anything about

We could get thousands and thousands
of people who would not go to Cairo

One of the great mysteries and one
that threatens to rival the great who
Struck Billy Patterson" case, is what
real y happened aboard that train
she other night when Fulton and May
field Democratic politicians mixed.
The two principals each tell it diff
erent way. One claims be not only
gave the other good licking, but did
it twice, while the man licked claims
that he wasn't licked but once and
that was all the way from Clinton to
Fulton, and that it took two to do the
Job. Then comes forth the man who
was alleged to have assisted the vic
tor, and denies that he did anything
but try to keep the victim from a
worse licking. The victims friend,
who was also there, but for some rea-
son does not seem to have appeared in
any stellar rcle, justified his inactivi-
ty by saying the whole thing happen
ed in less than a minute. and he had
time to do no more than prevent his
friend from being Drained with Gus
pidore, thus saving him from an ig-
nominious fate. IL would be awful to
be Drained with a cuspidore. 1t does
not seem plain, therefore, who had
the center of the stage,as the accounts
differ so. Young gentlemen, get TO-
getherl First thing you know some
cruel jester will be saying none of you
remember much about what happened
except the man who got licked. He
says two men did it, and judging from
his appearance afterwards he was pro-
baby justified in thinking it, If he
felt like he looked.
