undergoing much embarrassment Of
late because Of a treatise some man by

which has not yet found out that Mr..
Wheeler is out of public life, has been
pouring in on him divers clippings IN

praised because OF the vaccination
treatise. Mr.. Wheeler declares that
he knows nothing about compulsory
vaccination, and most certainly has
never written a treatise on It.
He does not know where the other

not discuss the matter until II comes
up for action, and IL Major Sanders

tanned.
The Howard case will be called for
trial at the April term of the Franklin

ing made to try the case.

The joint conference between the
operators and mine workers OF ths
Twenty.third district will meet to-
morrow in Louisville pursuant to
agreement entered into here when
they were unable to settle their diff r
ences after a two days conference.
The operators offered nothing but the
present scale, while the miners de.
manded the indianapolis scale, which
would DO an increase Of about 25 per
cent.
Il seems to be the general belief that
a compromise will be reached after
both have made concessions. The
present contracts do not expire until

Henry Knight Makes an Assign
ment to Creditors.
Liabilities About $50. 900, Nearly All
Believed to Be Well
Secured.
SPECULATION CAUSED FAILURE

An assignment that created great
surprise in Southwest Kentucky wa
that late Saturday of Henry knieh.
and his mother, Mrs. Jennie Knight
at Fulton, KY, to II. M. Chowning OF
the First National hank, Fulton. Says
the Fulton Leader:
The liabilities and varions creditors
are not fully known, but are supposed
to aggregate something near $50, 900,
while the assets are composed Of the
Knight hotel property, rests urAnts and
stock, and the old Grand Central ho-
tel property in this city. This pro-
perty originally cost more than $780,
900, but perhaps could not be sold to-
day for quite so much.
The First National hank of this city
is one of the principal creditors, but is
we'll secured by mortgages on the pro-
perty and will lose nothing.
There are several local creditors,
but it is understood they are nearly
all we'll secured. Mr.. Knights future
intentions are not known. He 10 .
gentleman of business qualifications
and will likely come again and he
hopes to be able to pay everyone final.
H.
The cause Of Mr.. Knights failure
was his heavy speculation in cotton
three years ago. At one time he was
something lie ss5, COO ahead of the
game, but he got on the wrong side OF
the market and in the windup lost
over s47, 900. This failure of Mr..
knight is an echo of the Price-MoCor-
mick failure. This firm was one Of
the biggest spectators in the market
and Mr.. knight followed them, using
their advice which proved disastrous.
Mrs. Jennie Knight being ON her
sons paper was forced to assign.
Knights hotel was built in 1897 at
a cost of cas-, 900, and has from the
start been big money maker. II Mr..
Knight had contented himself with
the business. he could have easily paid
out and made an independent fortune
Manager Dismutes will continue to
run the house as at present under the
direction OF the assignee. II is suppos-
ed that all the present clerks and 9th
err help will BE- retained.

TO CROSS NIAGARA.
AN ATHLETE TO CARRY AN
OTHER MAN ON WIRE.

New York, March 23-For a wager
OF 5000 and expenses Otto Peterson, a
Brooklyn athlete. will try to cross
Niagara Falls ON three-quarter inch
wire, carrying another man Of his own
weight. Unlike Blondin, he will
make the trip by clinging with his
teeth to leather strap connected with
the wire by a small roller. The other
man will sit in a chair strapped to the
strong mans body.
The entire weight ON his teeth will
be about $50 pounds. The wire is to
be stretched directly over the main
fall.
The journey will be about 1000
feet, and Peterson expects to traverse
il in from five to seven minutes. He
plans to perform the feat within the
next two weeks and declares it will be
easy. Peterson asserts that he can
hang by his teeth for half an hour and
can lift q 700 pound weight in the
same way. His partners safety will
be provided for by additional ropes

eress President Castro handed General
velutini, the president Of congress, his
resignation Of the presidency OF the
republic.
CONFIRMED BY RUSSELL.
Washington, Marcn 23--Secretary
Hay has received Dispatch from Mr..
Russell, the United States charge at
Caracas confirming the report of Pres
ident Csstro's resignation, but stating
that he doubted if the Venezuelan con-
gress would accept it.
The first intimation received by Sec
rotary Hay of President Castro's res
ignation was given him by the press
dispatch announcing the fact. He
would not discuss the matter, howev-
err. beyond stating that the news was
unexpected. Herbert W. Bowen. Ven.
ezuels's plenipotentiary here, likewise
had not been informed until shown the
dispatch. Until officially advised, he
said, he would be unable to give ex-
preston to any views of the subject.
From an authoritative quarter it
was learned that this move on the
part of Castro has long been contem-
plated. REPRESENTATIONS were made
to him several months ago by the
leaders that his resignation would
have the effect of enabling the people
OF that country to present solid front
to the world IN the matters in contro
versy with the several powers. The
statement was made that the resigna-
tio1 is the result of secret agree
ment with the leaders referred 20 that |
President Castro should temporarily
relinquish his Office pending the adjust
ment of the matters which Minister
Bowen has in hand.
II was intimated that while Presi-
dent Castro nominally gives MP his
office. it is the intention to keep it
within the family by an arrangement
to make Csstro's brother vice presi-
dent. so that he would succeed to the
presidency. 1t is the belief here,
based on information which has been
up to now kept inviolate, that the pres
ent plan is to allow President Castro
to remain out of office for a short time
and then re-elect him at the next cleo
tion.
Mr.. Pulido, the Venezuelan charge
d'affaires, is absent from Washington,
and, it was stated, is now on his way
to the Venezuelan capital.
In the ordinary course of events
President Castro's term would have
ended February 20. 1908. He was
elected president of Venezuela in Feb.
ruary Of last year for six years, begin
ming February 90. 1902. He had been
elected provisional president of vene.
zuela on March 80, 1901, by the con.
stituent assembly.
Senior Castro, when the presidency
changed hands some time previous to
that date, had proclaimed himself
president, and the United States gov
eminent, in November, 1899 had Off
cially re ,ognized the de fscto govern
ment headed by him. The action of
the constituent assembly legslized his
position and invested him with the
full powers of presidential ruler to
the limit of its authority. Up to that
time, while being generally recognized
as president of Venezuela, he had in
reality been simply dictator Of the re.
public. A year later, as already stated,
the Venezuelan congress ratified his
election and regularly installed him
as president OF Venezuela for term of
six years dated from February 90, 1902
