EVIDENCE BEING GATHERED

Louisville, Ky Nov. 6-The cleo
ton in Louisville and Jefferson coun.
ty will probably be contested by the
Republicans. While it has not been
definitely determined on, it is known
that such a procedure has been dis
cussed and its utility considered.
The Republican committee has is
sued for publication q statement call
ing upon the citizens of Louisville to
send in to the committee headquarters

Information was obtained that con-
tests would be made at least in all the
judicial races and in the circuit clerk
race. 1t is also likely that the Repub-
lioans will 20 even further than this
and contest the entire election in Jeff.
erson county.
The Republican campaign managers
believe that they have excellent
grounds for . contest. They have
stated that after the great mass Of evil

. strong case that they can appear in
the courts with o fair chance of sue

ting.
A special judge would probably be
elected by the local bar. One Of the
foremost lawyers of this city examined
the law last night and gave - his opin-
ion that the governor could lot sp.
point in this case owing to the decis-
ion of the court Of appeals that in
counties Of continuous session the bar
shall elect special judges
The contest will probably be brought
under the following provision of the
election law.
I'm case it shall appear from au in
speotion Of the whole record that
there has been such fraud, intimida-
ton, bribery or violence in the con-
duct of the election that neither con-
testant or contestee can be adjudged to
have been fairly elected, the circuit
court, subject to revision or appeal,
or the court of appeals finally may ad-
judge that there has been no election.
In such event the office shall be deem
ed vacant with the same legal effect
as if the person elected had refused to
quality"
The suit to make the contest will
have to be filed within ten days after
the certificates OF election have been
issued. There is some doubt a. to
whether the governor will appoint the
special judge or whether one will be
agreed upon. The name Of Mr.. Hen.
~ Burnett formerly of Paduoah, of
the iirm of Humphrey, Burnett &
Humphrey. has been suggested as a
possible judge to hear the case, but
this his been only in the nature of a
suggestion. AS Mr.. Burnett supported

has been considered peculiarly availa.

Not Alarmed.

One of the best-known Of our circuit
court judges had an enemy, a lawyer,
who had once been his unsuccessful
opponent in politics, in one Of the
towns on his round, and was generally
subjected to some affront when he
reached there. The lawyer took so
little pains to conceal his contempt
that one of the judges friends was
moved to ask:
why don't you squelch b? He
reeds it."
The judge laid knife and fork across
his plate, folded his hands, and, SEEM
ingly apropos Of nothing at all, said:
Cup in my home town there's a
widow with an ugly yaller dog that,
whenever there is moonlight, sits on
her stoop and bowls until the town
can't sleep and generally keeps it up
till daylight"
He then resumed his dinner. The
friend looked at him in amazement for
a moment and then inquired:
'Well, what Of it,"
WELL" said the judge slowly, ''the
moon keeps right on" -Philadelphia

DEVICE FOR MARKSMEN.
The HyposcOpe, an English Invention,
Will Enable Them to "Shoot
Around a Corner"

A device called by it's inventor a
"hyposcope, for enabling a marks
man to aim his piece at an object that
cannot be seen directly, has been in
vented by William Youlton, of Bright
on, England. Says the American In
ventor:
The instrument consists essentially
OF series OF mirrors placed at angles
10 each other in an L. tube, which is
applied to the rifle forward of the
hammer and just behind the rear
sight.
las the illustration shows, the de-
vice is used to enable the marksman to
aim his gun without exposing any por-
ton of his person to return fire. The
two sights and the object aimed at are
clearly visible in the field of the last
mirror, and the shooting done with a
gun so equipped is said to be fully as
accurate as when held in the ordinary
way. This, in few words, is the con-
struction and use of the hyposcope.
Going more into detail, it is pro-
vided with two scales allowing for the
raising and Lowering of the top mirror
with relation to the sights in order
that the gun may be sighted for any
distance to which it is capable of car
rying. A lateral scale allows Of adjust
ments being made for wind velocity
Both of these movements are con-
trolled by 1niiled-head screws and can
easily be made by the marksman
without exposing himself to return
fire.
THE instrument weighs about one
pound. and can be carried in a holste,
depending from the belt AS the con-

Where They Were Appreciated.

The government has with great lib
crafty distributed public documents
from Washington to the remotest parts
of the country. In his book on THE
Overland Stage to California" Mr..
Franklin Root tells how the overland
mails were sometimes relieved. Be-
fore the daily mail went into operation,
and when a stage went to Salt Lake
City only once a week, some of the
hoys on the line used to despise
coach almost wholly loaded up with
public documents, but such mail matter
came quite handy at times. Occasion
ally the drivers, as they themselves
said, would get stalled going through
bad slough in rough weather, and
would be unable to move. In that
case they were obliged to take out sack
after sack of the ''Pub. Docs.," open the
bags, and pile the massive books from
the government printing Office into the
slough, and by building solid foun-
dalton with them, were enabled thus to
pull the coach out Of the mire.

POLITICAL POKER.
Questions of Great Moment Deter
mined by the Game In the
State of Kansas.

Topeka is much agitated over revela-
lions of draw poker in high places, and
nothing could better show than this up
roar what inroads the civilization of the
east Is making on the life of the bound
less prairies. Once upon a time, states
the Kansas City Journal, draw poker was
to Kansas what bridge whist is to the
parlors Of the fashionable 1t was prac-
tlsed as an art, a pastime, profession.
No one thought then of concealing his
play OF the game, but, rather, it was a
subject of pride and boasting. Indeed,
it was more than game, for it served at
times in the adjudication of the most
serious problems of state or govern
ment
At present the law of Kansas recog-
nizes the game of chance known as
drawing lots as the proper means OF
deciding all ties in elections, but form
erly draw poker was resorted to as a
more orderly means of compromising.
For example, in one of the western coun-
ties, when two amiable gentlemen tied
tor the Office of representative they
played game of 'freeze-out" to de-
termine which should enjoy the office
Again, not so many years ago, when the
senate committee on congressional ap-
portionment came to deadlock over the
divers plans for dividing the state into
congress districts, the members aG-
Journed to room in the Copeland, took
each generous stack of chips and
played to finish. Under the terms OF
this historical game the committeeman
who lost his chips withdrew himself and
his apportionment plan from further
consideration; and when the game was
reduced to two gentlemen, the one who
froze the other out fixed the plan of ap-
portionment, which stands with little
change as the plan of to-day
Volumes could be written Of poker in
cldents in Kansas. Once a we'll known
congressman, who by the way, has reap
peared in Kansas politics, had to meet
the charge made by some overprudish
people that he was addicted to the game
OF poker. He appealed to his political
associates to help him out. The one who
came most energetically to his recuse
was Capt. Bill Hackney, the Winfield
statesman. Il am in a position to state"
certified the doughty captain, that Mr..
Blank is less addicted to the game than
any man l ever played with"
More elaborate but quite as effective
was the defense once made by Steve Os-
born, ex-speaker of the Kansas house.
Some II years ago Steve was running for
reelection to the Office of district judge
in western Kansas. The pops got out a
handful accusing him of being poker
player" and circulated it widely.
