other liquid Of equal oombustible
qualities was used, and being unable
to see inside the stove, Moore struck a

kentucky Liquor Dealers DispIeased
e With Outlook.
Many Of the Southern States Going
Prohibition Mad-Dealers to Sell
to Consumer.
HEAVY LOSS OF BUSINESS

Kentucky distillers and wholesale
liquor dealers do not like the stand
Legislatures in several states are taking
on the liquor question. Already, as
claimed, the business OF Kentucky
firms has been seriously injured by
laws which have been passed during
the past two years, and the prospect
for future legislation is anything but
favorable.
The dispensary law in South CARROLL
ma, it is alleged, has merely resulted
in keeping reputable firms from doing
business in the state and has cost Ken
lucky dealers thousands of dollars ev-
cry year ii has been in force. One
dealer says: 1.-THE whiskey business
of the state went to the lowest bidder,
with the result that the people got the
poorest whiskey made in the country"
On Tuesday the Legislature Of Ten
nessee passed the Evans bill, better
known to whiskey men as the -Four
mile bill"
This bill makes tn e entire state
"dry," with the exception of cities Of
over 5000 inhabitants. The only cit
les in that state in which whiskey can
be sold, after the governor signs the
bill, are Nashville, Memphis, Knox
vile, Chattanooga, Jackson, Bristol,
Columb ia and Olarksville.
The Virginia Legislature is consider
ing law imposing license Of 81, 900
year on all saloons, and North Caro-
lima is considering similar law max.
ing the saloon license $1,000 q year.
Over half of Texas has voted fop
cal option, and Louisiana, Geo r,. "a
Mississippi have local o',tion I.w.
which are said to be glowing in nonn'
larity.
In other wordc, the south. which b..
been section which Kentucky has Al.
Ways considered her own so far rs thu
whiskey business goes, has become tho
scene Of conflict between the prohi.
bition And the whiskey interests, and
thus far the fights have gone against
the whiskey trade.
A Louisville paper says that in
view of the changes which are being
made in Southern laws governing the
whiskey trades, q number of the larg-
est firms in Louisville are considering
making radical change in their meth
DDS of doing business. Heretofore
every whiskey house in Louisville has
sold either to the wholesaler or to the
saloon. Under the new laws this will
be impossible. According to the plans
being made, local houses intend to
sell directly to the consumer, in those
sections where there are no saloons al
lowed.
Newspaper advertising is to be used
to bring the goods directly before the
public, and thousands Of circulars will
be sent oct. In this way il is hoped
to win back some of the business
which has been lost.

Supt. Hatfield Much Gratfed at the
Record.
There Will Be Over Fifty Promotions
Among the Pupils Of the
Schools.
ONLY A FEW DEMoTIoNs

The public schools opened this morn
ing for the spring term with an excel.
lent attendance.
The schools were dismissed wednes-
day afternoon at 1 O'Clock for the re-
mainder of the week, and Thursday
and Friday was consumed by the
teachers in making out reports Of the
average scholarship for the fall term.
These reports were filed with Superin-
tendent Hatfield who examined them
and made necessary promotions. He
reports that there were between 80
and 60 promotions made in the gram
mar departments and about 10 demo-
tions. There were no changes in the
High schools as it is very seldom that
pupils make a sufficiently high per
cent to warrant promotion.
Superintendent Hatfield in speaking
of the attendance last term said: at
is remarkable what fine attendance we
had last term. There were so few abb
sent that the attendance might be
called perfect Several rooms in the
various buildings had not pupil sb.
sent, an excellent record for . room.
Most of the pupils who were absent at
any time during the past term, were
absent On account Of illness and bad
weather, but all who were able to at.
tend, did come and think the record
for attendance will compare favorsbly
with the attendance in any schools. "

U. F.. STRIKE NOT YET SETTLED.
Conference is to Be Held in Omaha
Within Ten DAYS.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Union Pa
cific strike conference has adjourned
to meet in Omaha in about ten days.
After the conference representa-
tive of the strikers in explaining the
reasons for the adjournment to Oma-
ha said that each side to the contrc-
versy has made claims which the 9th
err believes cannot be substantiated.
The meeting at Omaha will be In
the nature of an investigation. The
chief point of disagreement is In
volved in the question of piece work,
which President Burt strongly favors
and which the representatives of the
strikers demand shall be abolished.
President Burt is said to maintain
that of the 5000 men out on strike,
the majority are in favor of piece
work, and this is one of the points
he means to investigate. 1t is under
stood that if he finds this to be true,
or if President Burt can persuade the
men to withdraw any objection they
may have to piece work, the officers
of the unions will permit the demand
for the abolition of piece work to be
dropped.

TRUSTS ANE PUBLICITY.

That the question of trust legisla-
on is more deeply involved than
ne would nave been lead
believe by political exhorters is
ound in recent able discussion of
he publicity theory Heretofore it
has been generally accepted doctrine
that publicity would be a remedy for
many trust evils. 1t was stated that
this would have a tendency to decrease
the issue of watered stocks. would in
form the investing pn.lic as ito which
were safe Investments, ano would
stimulate competition when the pro-
fits of any corporation were shown TO
be large. These benefits might follow
but the defects Of the publicity remedy
have also been pointed out and al.
though the trend of public thought has
been along opposite lines, it is we'll to
consider the objections candidly.
A recent able discussion OF the
question introduces the following OBJ
jection % the generally accepted
theory:
As 10 the protection afforded stock
holders: General publicity would rot

might be highly detrimental TO the

ENGLAND FILES a PROTEST..
iscts to Russian Torpedo Boat De-


stsoyers in Waters OF Black Sea.
Constantinople. Jan. 7.-Great Brit
ain has vigorously protested to the
Turkish government against the per-
mission granted to four unarmed Rus
sian torpedo boat destroyers to pass
through the Dardanelles, into the
Black sea, with the commercial flag
OF Russia. These vessels were about
to start on the proposed trip.
The British note says the passage
of the Dardanelles by the torpedo
boat destroyers would be violation OF
the existing international treaties and
that if Russian warships are thus al
lowed to use the Dardanelles the Brit
ish will reserve the right to demand
similar privileges.
The protest has caused irritation in
Russian circles and concern on the
part OF the Turkish authorities who
fear that other powers will follow the
example of Great Britain.
